Si'kgib.—1The Picayune notices the increase iu
that city of over $1,000,000. The premium upon
specie seems to be very small over jxiptr, which
is now everywhere tho par standard. The mut-
lahility of the precious metals renders their val-
ue very fluctuating, when paid for in the lighter
currency. That cannot be Btretched without
tearing. It ought to be printed on gutta percha.
Ex-Speaker Banks has been elected Gov-
ernor of Massachusetts. This was to have been
expected. Black Republicanisu has swallowed
up Know Nothiiigism in that State; aud De-
mocracy is as powerless against new federalism,
us eld. We had almost said we do not regret
It. For really, we should suspect tho correct-
ness of almost anything which Republican, ne-
gro worshipping Massachusetts federalists,
should endorse.

Dentistmw—\vo coll attention to the card of Dr. h,
Croukrite, a dentist well knowu^rough many parts of
Texas, and who has for tho present, and perhnps perman-
ently located iu our city. We havo occasionally fallen
upon specimens of Dr.* C.'s work in Texas; and havo
universally found, that they gave satisfaction, ffo Copy
the testimonials of some other newspapers, priuted
where fail' tests havo been made of the Doctor's skill.
Aud surely there is no art or profession which, if skill*
, pfully exercised, so much alleviates tho sufferings of tho
humiih family.
Our former townsman, Dr. L. Cronkrito, has recently
located in the city et Austiu, where heinteuds to practice
Dentistry. As a ccntTemnu and asa dentist of superior
skill, we commend him to the confidence and patronado
of tlio Austin public. His work hero, done some ten
years ago, such as «old plu^a. teeth set on pivots, remaius
perfect and permanent, aud exhibits no signs of giving
away. Asa acieutilic aud skillful dentist he has no supe-
rior lit this couutiy or probably iu auy other.—LaUrange.
7V as Imiu.
Weyind decided testimonials, by the Press, of liis
superior worKuianskip, these are, however, superfluous
delicacy of the opnration, the perfection attainable, and
the perfection required to ensure ~ ' "
nauent success
as we have his work among us, performed many years
since, and tho permanency of tuc insertions—no plug
having fallen out or loosened—is,the strongest evidence
of the perfection of his skill in Dentristry. Therefore,
we have no hesitation iu recotnmeuding Dr. Croudkrite
to those who need his services.—Chronicle of the Times,
Miitajfnrda, Texar.
We learn with regret that Dr. L. Cronkrite, who has
been practising the Dental profoaaion in our town and
county with unparalleled auccess for the last fifteen
mouths, is about to leave for the town of Alinden, La.
There is but oue opinion here of Dr. C.'a skill as n Den-
tist. All award to him the name of a very superior oper-
ator. His plate work is )>erfect, and his plugging, (to us
new,) superior to any wo havo ever witnessed. We
take great pleasure In saying that the Doctor is a gen tin-
man aud a thourough Dentist Those who need work
have only to give him a trial, and they will not apply to
auother, wheu his services can be obtained.

The Dental Anr.—We knnw of no calliug which so
abounds in unskilful and fnitklt$• professors, and in
which such numerous and gross impositions aro prac-
ticed, as iu Dentistry/ To such an extent is this tho
case, that he who is so unfortunate ns to need the ser-
vices of a dentist, stands a very good chance of being
imposod upon, however cautious ho may be in making
his selection. It is a matter of congratulution, therefore,
when n doatist bus by his skill and fidelity In his culling
proven himself to be an honorablo exception to this
rather too general rule. It is in-th*s connection that we
think we subserve a useful ourjHJse in attesting; to lh" 4\i-
ocrior claims of Dr. J.. Cronkrite, of this nlsce, as a
Dentist. We have employed him in our family, aud
know the general character of his operations* They aro
unsurpassable, of surnrisiug beauty and fluish, a^j
uniformly exhibit the highest excellence of the art.
ilia maunor of plugging teeth is the moat pcrtect of
auy thing of thcaort we have ever aeeti, aud is calculated
to inspire one with superior notions as to the extreme
tin
m , . are perm
from the operation. The cause ol fijtfure also becomes
obvious, from the contrast. It is not wonderful thai this
so often occurs, when the careless aud unskillful raauner
in which this operation is usually performed, is consider-
ed.— Victoria Advocate.
We have seen some beautiful specimens of the dentrl
art, executed by Dr. L. Cronkrite. of this village, which
oxccod, In point of ologau^e and beauty of tintan, adap-
tation and durability, anything of the kind we hare ever
seen. We were not 'previously aware of the decree of
perfection this branch of the art was susceptible of—
tho plate being ad«4*tcd to all the little inequalities of
the month with surprising accuracy, and the teeth so
nicely fitted, and so natural in their sppearance, as to
defy the closest scrutiny. And what is of more import-
ance. they are woru by the patients with the greatest
eomlort, and answer the purpose of mastication. We
helive ho excels also in the other departments of his pro-
fession—the testimony of those for whom he has opera-
ted being highly satisfactory—Macon Republican.

WOODWIAIR DYE.—This admirable article la rap-
idly improving the hair. Mo article of a similar kind,
•«joys a better reputation as a
restorative and invigorating hair tonic. Its peculiar
chemical qualities have a beneficial effect upon the
growth and character of the hair, giving a silky and
glossy texture to that which was ohnerly of a coarse
and dry nature. It has, also, we understand, a tendency
