On Monday evening last, at the request of Dr. T. J. Katon, we witnessed a beant : ful operation performed by him on Mr. G. S. Williams, of this city, for Strabismus. It was all done in a very few minutes, with little or no pain. Mr. Williams can j now see as straight as any man ; does not have to j look two ways for Sunday, and thinks there is some probability of his getting married, as the barrier heretofore existing has been successfully as well as permanently removed. We hope so, for lie is a nice young man, and deserves a good wife, Dr. Katon is a successful operator, never having failed in a single instance out of more than two hundred cases. Persons in this vicinity who are unfortunately afflicted with Strabismus, Club-foot, Ac., would do well to lose no time in availing themselves of his services.

Gentlemen—A young lady of my acquaintance had been for a long time very much troubled’ with worms. I advised her to try Dr. Me Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge. She ac cordingly purchased and took one vial, which caused her to discharge an unusually large quantity of worms. Slie was immediately relieved of all the dreadful symptoms accom panying the disease, aud rapidly recovered her usual health. The young lady does not wish her name mentioned—her residence however is 320,5 th Street, and she refers to Mrs. Hardie, No. 3, Manhattan place.

Her disease seemed to be of a complicated nature and well I calculated to baffle the skill of the most experienced ; but [ still hopes of her recovery was entertained until a few days prior to her death. This afflictive dispensation of an Allwise but mysterious Providence, has caused the tear of sorrow to moisten the cheeks of many, but above all, it has brought heart-rending grief upon tiie kind and devoted parents of little Kate. The little sufferer is gone forever, but in going, she has exchang ed a life of pain for one of perfect and-unending happiness* We would, even now, in this dark hour of trial and afflic tion, enter the family circle, and say to the bereaved ‘ weep not, for you have the consolation of knowing that your loss is her eternal gain.” Died at the residence of her son, J*. P. Williams, in Hen ry county, on the Ibth ult., Keziah Williams, a widow lady, in the Tilth year of her age. She was baptized many years since by Rev. J. S. Calloway, at Philadelphia Church, in the above named county. Since that time, she has lived a consistent membe r of the Baptist Church. She was a ! kind and affectionate mother. We trust she has gone to reap the reward of the faithful in Christ Jesus. She bore her affliction with patience, and said on a dying pillow,she was ready and willing to go. May this-bereavement be sanctified to the good of her children and friends in gen eral.

Its benefit to the Planter is incalculable. It picks the cotton clean and free from trash, leaves it in excellent condition for ginning —obviates the necessity of exposing the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, and from the ra pidity of its work, will enable the Planter to prepare his crop for market at an early day, leaving him time for the improvement of liis land, houses, enclosures andgcneial arrangement of the Plantation. it is light, weighing aboutß pounds, is suspended by a strap over the shoulders,and is operated by means of a crank turned by the band or fingers. The simplicity of this ma chine is its leading feature—it is notiiable to get out ol or der, and any negro of ordinary capacity, is competent.to use it. One harvester, with proper care, will last a of years. • We are now selling State and County Rights-for the man ufacture and use of the above machine. Any iufomatipn relative thereto, can be obtained by calling on A. Wildbur, General agent for Georgia, Florida, North and South Caro lina, at his office, 111 Bay Street, Savannah, Ga., or at the stores of the subscriber, 135, Congress Street, Savannah, Ga., or 125 Meeting Street, Charleston, S.
