DENSE’S Chill a h <1 F over Mixture OF all the remedies ever discovered for the vase, certain and effectual cure of the Chill and Fever, none have more merit and received the approbation of the public than DENSE’S CHILL AND FEVEIi MIXTURE. It has been in use for the last 12 years, and the proprie tor has never known a single instance Where the Mixture i has failed to cure the Chill and Fever where it has been us ed according to the advice and directions accompanying it. On : bottle of this Mixture is generally sufficient to cure two common cases of Chill and Fever. It is a source of great consolation to the proprietor that he has been able to place so valuable a medicine before the jmbltc at such a low price ; fir while others have been selling their Pills and Mixture at the high price of $1 50 per box or bottle, this Mixture has been selling at only $1 per bottle,being a large i.aving to the purchaser besides the important consideration of procuring a better medicine. The public are most pos itively assured that there is no mercury, antimony, arsenic, or any other poisonous substances in any shape or form whatever iu this Mixture, but It is composed entirely of simple but potent substances, each of which is calculated to assist the others in expelling diseases from the system. The proprietor will insert the following testimonialswliich will proveto the satisfaction of every reasonable mind that Dknsk’s Mixtiuk never fails to cure the Chills when taken according to tne directions that accompany each bottle. Tim undersigned citizens cheerfully bear testimony to the efficacy of Dense’s Chill and Fever Mixture, as many cases have been successfully treated within our own per sonal knowledge,in which this Mixture was only used.

A young man belong ing to the Marine Bank was sent out to arrange the balances between that and other insti tutions, carrying with him the large packages of currency in a carpet satchel and smaller ones in a Wallet. While engaged in arranging his business with tile teller at the Exchange Bank, he p aced the satchel on the flooor at his feet. During the interval of les3 than a minute, while settling with the teller, the sat tchel was taken up and carried off. The clerk, the moment ho missed it, turned and saw a man closing the door ; he persned him out into the street, but he could nowhere be seen. It was subsequently ascertained, however, that the adroit rogue, instead of leaving the building upon going out of the Hank, went up stairs, and actually entered one or two offices, satchel, in hand. He was seen by several persons in the upper part of the building, but in fact the robbery was not known to them till sometime afterwards. lie remained up stairs, it is sup posed, until those in pursuit of him had gone out into the street, when he came down and made off with his plunder. The satchel con tained six thousand dollars in Illinois curren cy. Active steps were taken by the police, but no trace of the thief has yet been discover ed.— Chi. Times. Childish Repartee.— -Said a Sunday school teacher, ‘remember, dear children, that Gad is every where.’ The words had hardly escaped his bps, when a roguish looking little fellow rose up and said to the pastor : ‘Please sir, did you say that God was every where ?’ ‘Yes, my son ; everywhere.’ ‘ls he in my pocket ?’ ‘Yes, he is in your pocket.’ ‘Well, I guess I’ve got you there/ was the (triumphant retort, ‘cause I hatn’t got any pocket.’ Jettns—s2,oo, jri ® Front Nicaragua.

Titus had left him and gone to Rivas. The U. 8. ship Saratoga and English armed vessels Archer Cossack, Victor, Interprid, and Pioneer, were at S in Juan when the Tennesee left.

Dreadful Stale of affairs —Brigham Young to It Superceded, and an army sent to the Tcrrriiory The Washingsoß correspondence of the New Y'ork Herald, writes under date of Thurs day : - A letter was received here to-day from W. W. iJruhfttiond, tluited States Shpreihe Judge in Utah Territory by the administration. It gives a Sad and deplorable picture of matters in that Territory. The following is taken from the letter. , The leading men of the church are more traitbforis than ever. Only a few’ days since all the papers, records, dockets, and nine hun dred volUtttes of the laws, were taken out of the Supreme Court Clerk's office and burned. Arid this is not the only instance of the kind* Isay to you again, rind through you to the President, It is impossible for us to enforce the laws in this Territory. Every man hero holds his life at the will of Brigham Young ; and here we ate without protection. 1 am firmly of opinion that Babbit was murdered by Mormans under direction of Brigham Young ; and not by Indians. Mur der is a common thing here ; and Mormons cannot be punished with a Mormon jury, wit nesses, officers, and Governor to pardon. It is too cruel and must not be endured. A man not a member of the church, is murdered, rob bed, castrated, and imprisoned, solely for questioning the authority of the church. Per sons are now in the penitentiary, convicted be fore the Probate Judge, who are wholly inno cent of any crime. Is their any other country where this” abuse would be eudured ? Let all then take hold, and crush out one of the most treasonable organizations in America. The administration have had the matter un der seiious consideration, and will soon appoint a Governor, I understand, who will take suf ficient military force into that Territory to car ry the laws to the fullest extent. Telling Mother. — A cluster of young girls stood about the door of the school room oue afternoon, engaged in a close conversation, when a girl joined them and asked what they were doing. “Im telling the girls a secret, Kate and We will let you know, if you will promise not to tel’, any one as long as you live/ was the reply. “I won’t tell any one but my mother,” re plied Kate. “1 tell her every thing, for she is my best friend.” “No, not even your mother ;no one iri the world.” . , “Well, then, I can’t hear it ; for ,Wbat I can’t tell my mother, is not fit for trie to know M After speaking these words, Kate walked away, slowly, and perhaps sadly, yet with a quiet conscience, while her companions went on with their secret conversation.
