Tub Wkathek, Roads. Jte.—We are in thf
miil.-t of a heavy rain tbat co-nmencrtl here
on Saturday, and still gives promise of cou-
tinnance. The roads will likely be in as
bad condition as this winter. Cypress
Creek was jrell up yesterday, and we pre-
sume iscwimining to-day.
Hobbible Tradckht.—The editor of the
Palestii e American has seen a letter from
liueua Vista,- Shelby county, which gives an
account of a murderous sffmy at that place
mi rhe 19th ult. Four men named William
Tiicrnian, M. Wheeler, Jolin Tarborough,
mid B .b McC iv, a'tacked a man by the name
of Strpheu S. Runnels while he was iu the
house of a frit nd. Theruian fired the first
shot at Runnels, when the latter returned the
lire, neither party being wounded. Yarbo-
rough then .shot Runtiells from behind,
wounding hiiu mortally. Runnells, how
ever, shot Tarborough iu the thigh, and also
discharged a Lall at Wheeler which broke
his arm. Thermal) in the meantime beating
Runnells over the head with bis pistol.
Runnells next fired upon Thermau and
at ruck him just above the hip. Runnells
lived about three hours after the bloody af-
fray, and it was reported that Therman was
al-o dead. None of the party had been ar-
reested.
Who Shall Not be President!
This is tie great question now agitating
.he Know Nothing world, which met in Con-
vention at Philadelphia on the 23d inst.
They have Sam Houston, Millard' Fillmore,
and George Eaw, and a plenty more third
and fourth rate tiinb-r, good enough, iu all
conscience, to squabble over. Like most
other Convent ions, gotten opto llirasb Dem-
ocracy out of the people, and distribute the
loaves and fishes to the hungry pact that
besets it for a nibble, it will find that choos-
ing a pack-horse is one thing, and making a
President another. JUost anybody is good
enough for a K. N.target; and it makes very
little difference who is the recipient of the
favor. To Thumb, Banuim or the Bearded
Woman would do credit to ihc principles of
the party. We have not heard that the K. If.
delegates from this State have gone to the
Convention—we take k Sue granted, in fact,
that they did not go>. Philadelphia is a long
way off, and sensible men ought not to go
there on a "Torn-Fool's errand." It will do
very well for the friends of o'd San Jacinto
to talk about the nomination and the White
House, and to get the Texas proxies and the
Freesoilers to vote ftr him. The Old Hero
is accustomed to be talked about; Green
talks about him, and is doing more to make
him President than Anybody ; the old wo-
man talked about him when he was a boy,
looking at the stars, and said he was "a child
of destiny ; that lie would be great some day,
and the President of two Republics." We
beg to remind our K. N. friends that Sam i-f
no more than a child of destiny, and that the
old lady's prediction has been literally veri-
fied. Tennessee is a Republic, aud Sam
was once its President; and since then he
has been twice President of Texas. As to
his greatness, Green kdrnits that ai d we all j an imposing appearance.
The Timber or Hiuis Cocxtt.—Our
county coutaius a vast amount of valuable
timber, and yet there are imported immense
quantities of timber from PensacoU. to Gal-
veston. Our saw mills should certainly
Htipply at least our owu and the adjoining
counties, Galveston included.
The Celebration.
The 22d of February, the day (lis-
ting nislied in the history of the Ameri-
can national thai in wfticli thelmmor-
tal Washington wa* ushered, into exis-
tence, was- appropriately celebrated in
Houston.
At sunrise a salute of IB gnns (in
honor of the original thirteen colonies)
was fired. At an early hoar the Wash-
ington Li«lit Guards under command
of Capt. Win. Edwards, were astir,
parading through the streets preceded
by stiring music. At ten o'clock a
signal gun was fired for the assemblage
of the different civic and military bodies
at their usual place of meeting. At
eleven another sTgrfs? gnu was fired for
the formation of the procession under
E. W. Taylor Esq., Grand Marshal,
assisted by his aids, Dr. L. A. Bryan
and Mr. Schram, the German Rifle
Company, Capt. I lass, on the right,
presenting a soldier-like appearance.
The orator, Hon. E, A. Palmer, and
the reader, J. W. Bradford, Esq., came
next in the procession.
The Houston Lyceum, under Capt.
Daly as Marshal, turned out in goodly
number, aud held the second place in
the procession.
Xcxt came the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows, under Marshal Burns,
! their rich and varied regalia presenting
Do Toe take as Agbicultcsal Jochxal?
-We speak to farmers large and small. If yon
don't, subscribe for «-ne immediately, and
let it be a southern publication.' 'The Soil of
the South,' at Columbus Georgia, and the
"Southern Cultivator," at Augusta, (Ga.)
are both good and cheap.
Stock Raising in Harris Coixti.—This
branch of business is successfully conducted
by several intelligent gentlemen in curcoun-
ty. Will not some of our readers favor us
with the results of their operat:ons? We
wish to aid in developing to the full extent
the resources of Harris bounty. What say
our intelligent stock-raisers? Will they aid
us by their j ens ?
• Plast Earlt.—If we could reach the ear
of every fanner in Texas, we would sound
in itthecaption of this article, " Plant tarlj."
There are few countries in which this 1s so
important as in Texas. Early planting al-
n.ost invariably hits the season. Especially is
this advice applicable to the corn crop.
Y\*ith the ground thoroughly broken np and
corn planted early, the crop is more than
half made. By the way, Indian corn'is one
of the most profitable articles that can be
cultivated in our State. '
know he is great. We should rejoice to hear
of his nomination at Philadelphia; it will be
jnst as couveuient for the Democracy to thrash
him as it was for his gallant San Jacinto boys
to "fiax" Santa Anna. But there will be a
precious jumble before old Sam can come iu
at Philadelphia There is "Live Oak"
George Law, as Bennet calls him, a monstrous
clcver fellow—a successful steamboatman,
and as rapidly grown into wealth and popu-
larity as any other inan the K. N.'s could
start. Then, there is Fillmore, an ex-occt
dental President, a strong, conservative man,
so far as the old issues arc concerned. He
would get two votes South to Sam's one,
but among the Abolitionists and Freesoilers
no votes to Sam's all. If Fillmore has not
got loo much sense to run on the K. N. ticket
lie is beaten, badly beaten, in Convention.
But somebody is to be nominated for the
White HoMe just to be beaten. Who is he 1
Letting of the Railroad Contracts.
The second section of the Houston, Austin
aud Red River Railroad was let on the 15th
inst. to Messrs. Stanips_ it Sledge, of Wash-
ington, and Scott & Soble, the former of
Grimes aud the latter of this county. The
same gentlemen have also undertaken the
completion of the unfinished work on the
first Section of twenty-five miles, including
the track laying, which they have sub-let to
Mr. W. W. Buel, an experienced contractor
from the North. The first section is to be
completed by the 15th of June next, and the
second section by the 1st of November; the
latter will carry the road to the borders of
Washington and Grimes counties. The track-
laying is progressing rapidly, and the cars
will be running out as far as Cole's, thirteen
miles, by the 30th of March or the first of
April. Several hundred persons go out daily
to Bejche's woods, about four aud a half
miles, for the pleasure of an excursion on the
railroad. The track is generally iu fine cr-
der, and the trains, moving at the rate of
thirty miles per hour, go as smoothly as
over the Central road of New York. Every
stranger who visits the work pronounces it,
from first to last, the grade, drainage, ties
aud rolling stocky a first class road. It is a
work creditable to the company, and un-
doubtedly, except the bridges aud culverts,
which are of red cypre-s aud post oak, (stone
not being accessible,) one of the most durable
railway structures in the Union. The rails
are heavy, weighing sixty-two pounds to the
yard, or eight pounds more than is required
by law, aud the locomotives and passenger
cars of the first class, the latter fitted up in
the best style for sixty passenge^seach. Stage
passengers to Austiu, Anderson, Huutsville
and Nacogdoches will be carried out on the
cars after the 15th proximo. With the pow-
erful locomotives now in use, the engineer
feels confident that be can run the first twen-
ty-five miles, when completed, with passen-
ger trains, if required, in thirty minutes.
Engineers who have seen the track, admit
that this road can be run with greater speed
and safety than almost any other, except the
airline roads, in the Union, there being no
curves, except those in and near the city,
aud no perceptable ascending or descending
grades.
The Houston Turners, under Mar-
shall Schneider, came next, numbering
30 or 41) members, aud adding much to
the effect of the procession.
The Washington Light Guards,
Capt. Edwards, with their handsome
banner and tas: eful uniform, came next
in rank, commanding the admiration of
our citizens generally.
The procession was closed by a body
of citizens, conspicuous among whom
was Mr. Henry Tierweister, a veteran
of San Jacinto, who is always mindful
of the influence of a "horn."
The procession moved off after the
fine German Band under the command
of Mr. Fisher, and marching through
the priuc:pal streets of the city,
halted in front of the Court House
where the Farewell Address was read
and the oration delivered.
In reading the Farewell Address,
several paragraphs were omitted, the
committee deeming the Addrpss of too
great length to be read entire. We
learn that exceptions have been taken
to this course, however, inasmuch as
that part treating of "entangling for
eign alliances," was omitted. We are
assured by the committee and the read-
er that there was no other design in
omitting portions of the Address than
that of consulting the convenience o*
the assemblage.
The oration of .Mr. Palmer was able,
chaste, tasteful and brief.
At noon a national salute of thirty-
one guns was fired, and at sun-set seven-
teen. Thus ended a will
long be remembered by CT&fr Honsto-
nian who loves his country and loves
the memory of him who made his coun-
try free and happy.
We learn from the Lamplighter
of the 8tii inst, that a difficulty recently
occurred in that place between William
Scott aud Samuel Ward, Students of
Chai>cl H ill College, in which the for-
mer was considerably injured by the lat
ter striking him over the head with a
stick. Ward was held by the Mayor
for his appearance at the next District
Court in the sum cf $500.
Tux Soil, or oitt Cocstt —We have
made frequent allusions to the value of the
soil of Harris county. We have done this
l<ecatisc of an houe-t conviction that it lias
been greaily underrated. We sincerely be-
lieve that lands are lower in proportion to
their intrinsic value in Harris than in any
other county within our *kuowledge. We
advise immigrants to investigate the charac-
ter of our soil, its prices, etc., before going
further into the interior. .Our railroads are
adding greatly to the value of our lands.
sar We learn troin the Lavaca He-
rald that an attempt was made on the
night of the 7th iust., to set the town on
fire, by placing live embers and rags on
the roof of the store occupied by Mr. J
Notion. The buildings are so situated
that had the villainous design been ac-
complished, the whole city would soon
have been wrapped iu flames, entailing
the most disastrous ccnaequcuces. For-
tunately it was discovered l>cfore the
roof caught fire. The Herald says that
suspicion rests on certain parties, and
suggests the propriety of offering a re-
ward for the apprehension of the per-
sons engaged in the attempted arson.
We learn from Mr. A. J Evans,
Riys the Waco Statesman, who has just
returned from UilLsboro, Hill county,
that a young gentleman by the name of
Hutherford, was dangerously wounded,
in that place, on last Sabbath evening,
by the accidental discharge of a pistol
iu the hands of 31 r. Tiio.nas M. Steiuer.
Thocblk with Soi.iueks.—The Sau
AntoniolUi]M>rtcr of a late date men-
tions a difficulty into which ouc of the
City Marshals, James Gross, got with
several soldiers, Mr. Cros> being badly
lieateu. Twoof the soldiers were ar
rested and imjirisoned. Afterwards fif-
teen of the soldiers c..me into town ar-
med with revolvers for the puqiose of
raising a row. Marshal Tobn sum-
moned several citizens aud went to
quiet tl'c disturbance, which the soldiers
were creating, when one of them drew
ii revolver which the Masrhal wrested
from his grasp. The soldiers then drew
iuid cocked t! cir revolvers, but being j
e.osely pressed, (led accross the bridge j Antonio Garza, and the other we be-

The T*r Road.—We learu that the
Iron for this road has been purchased
on one, two and three years, and that
a committee has been appointed to em-

mediately surveyed, estimates made,

to the completion of this Road within
six or ei«?W months.
We learu that both the Trinity
and the Brazos are in fine boating or-

Melancholy Siicron of a Young
Lady.—We learn from passengers by
the Galveston steamer, yesterday, that
an interesting yout'g lady in that city.
Miss Ada Broimugh, committed sni-
cide on Friday the 2"2d inst., by taking
strychnine. She was about sixteen
years of age, and committed the melan-
choly act under the influence of disap-
pointed affection. She was the step
daughter of Dr. E. Stone, formerly of
this city.
Peace Pr«|«fliws.
We published a few days ago a short
synopsis of the ultimatum said to be ac-
ceptcd by Russia. "We now reprint
them textually as published by the Eng-
lish papers. We are among those who
doubt the agistment of the Eastern
question. The London Times expresses
its doubt and alleges that the assu-
rances given by the Russians are mere-
ly a ruse to gain time. Be this as it
may, it is hardly possible that Russia,
after her glorious defence of Sevastopol
and her vast advantages against the
futtoe operations of the Allies, would
so completely surrender the all im-
portant issues of the war. The propo-
sitions were as follows:
"1. Danubian Pivnapatilies.—Com-
plete abolition of the Russian protec-
torate. The Dauubian Principalities
shall receive an organization conforma-
ble to their wishes, to their wants,
to their interests, ami this new
organization, respecting which the po-
pulation itself will be consulted, shall be
recognized by the contracting powers,
and sanctioned by the Sultan as ema-
nating from his sovereign initiative.
No State shall be able, under any pre-
text whatever, under any form of pro-
tectorate, to interfere in the question of
the internal administration of the Prin-
cipalities; they shall adopt a definitive
permanent system demanded by their
geographical position; and no impedi-
cmntcan lie made to their fortifying, in
the interest of their safety, iusueli man-
lier as they may deem advisable, their
territory against foreign aggression.
"In exchange for the strong places and
territories occupied by the Allied ar-
mies, Russia consents to a rectification
of her frontier with Turkey in Europe.
It would commence in the vicinity of
Chotym, follow the line of the mountains,
which extend iu a southeasterly direc-
tion, aud terminate at Lake Sasik. The
line (trace) shall be definitively regula-
ted by the general treaty ; and the ce-
ded territory would return to the Prin-
cipalities and to the suzerainty of the
Porte.
"2. The Danube.—The freedom of
the Danube and of its mouths shall be
efficaciously assured by European insti
tutious, in which the contracting Pow-
ers shall be equally represented, except
the particular positions of the lords of
the soil on the banks (dc-s riverains,)
which shall be regulated upon the prin-
ciples established by the Act of the
Congress of Vienna as regards the na-
vigation of rivers. Each of the con-
tracting Powers shall have the right to
keep one or two small vessels stationed
at the mouths of the river, destined to
assure the execution of the regulations
relative to the freedom of the Danube.
"3 neutralization of the Black Sea.
—This sea shall be open to merchant
vessels, closed to war navies {marines
militaires,) consequently no naval mil-
itarary arsenals shall be created or main-
tained there. The protection of the
commercial and maritime interests of
all nations shall be assured in the res-
pective ports of the Black Sea, by the
establishment of institutions conforma-
ble to international law, and to the cus-
toms sanctioned in such matters. The
two Powers which hold the coast en-
gage themselves to maintain only the
number of light vessels, of a fixed force,
necessary for their coast service. This
convention, concluded separately be-
tween these two Powers, shall form part
as an-annex, of the general treaty, after
receiving the approval of the contract-
ing parties,. This separate convention
caiiuot be annulled or modified without
the consent of the signataries of the
general treaty. The closing of the
Straits will admit the exception appli-
cable to the stationary vessels mention-
ed in the preceding art:cle.
"4. Christian Subjects of the Forte.—
The immunities of the Rayah sub-
jects of the Porte shall be religiously
preserved, without infringement on the
independence and dignity of the Sultau's
crown. As deliberations are taking
place between Austria, Frauce, Great
Britain, and the Sublime Porte, to as-
sure to the Christian subjects of the
Sultan their religious and political
rights. Russia shall be invited, when
peace is made, to associate herself there-
to.
"5 The belligerent Powers reserve
to themselves the right which appertains
to them of producing iu au European
interest, special conditions over and
j above the four guarantees."
Attempt to Kill iiis Wife.—E. F.
Gilbert, says the San Antonio Repor-
ter, was arrested one day laat week for
attempting to kill his wife. He was in
a state of intoxication, and wli le his ■
wife was sitting m a chair he came up j
behind her with a hatchct to commit j
the horrible deed. One of the children, j
wheu the fiendish father was iu the act j
of striking the fatal blow, screamed,
cnusi.ig the wife to throw np her hand, |
A row, says the San Antonio
Reporter, occurred at the Plaza House
bar room last Thursday night, between
two persons, Finch and Morris. A re-
volver and a knife were drawn. The
representative from Oameroa county,
Mr. Latham, who was standing near at
the time, received an accidental kuife
ID" A case of cowbiding occurred on Main
street, last Friday Morning, says the SanAn-
tonio Reporter. The gentleman who received
this marked atteution did not seetn to relish
the sport at all, and made all the resistance
in his power, aud we understand, with some
effect Quirts and stones are disagreeable.
Four at a Bibtii.—The Louisville Jour-
nal of the 4th ult., gives an item that may
interest Barnum as well as others. Here it
is:
A Mrs. Rhodes of this city, on Thursday
last, lia>l four babies at a birth— two buys
aud two girls. They are all very well ind-
eed, aud the mother is much better than
could be expected. We have spoken of her
as "a Mrs. Rhodes," but we beg her pardon
she is the Mrs. Rhodes.

Members or the House of
Representatives;
The hour has arrived, gentlemen, for the"
.injayrnment of the House until the first
Mondl
ing our
farewell to those who i.r.ve so much honored
me.
I tliank you, gentlemen, for the resolution
approving of my official course, which yo<;
have placed on the journals of this House
with such unanimity and cordiality; it is a
record of which I shall always be proud.
I, however, did not require this formal
mark of your approbation, for I have been
iu the almost daily receipt of itsiuce our or-
ganization. I have, upon all occasions,
been sustained and supported by a generous
co-operation, aud the most distinguished
courtesy.
Questions of the'gravest import have been
before our house; thev have been discussed
with an ability never before equalled in our
legislative history; and have been acted on,
I trust in wisdom and for the be t interests of
Dur State.
The record of our proceedings will soon be
before our constituents, and I auticipate
their cordial approbation.
I have endeavored, gentlemen, to dis-
charge the duties of my office, impartially
and to the best of my ability; and if, in the
excitement of the various scenes through
which we have passed, I have given offence
to any one, I hope in this, our hour of part-
ing. he will forget it. I offer to each and all
of you, gentlemen, my best wishes for your
safe return to your families, and my grateful
acknowledgements for your kindness to me.

of Bilious Fevers, acvompanied l j Typhoid
Symptoms ; Typhoid Fever, 1'ellow Fe*
w, Ship and Jail Verer, General
Debi.'fly, n'ght Sweat*, and all
other forma- of disease
which have a common origin in
MALARIA OH MIASMA.
TIISSK diseases are common to many localities
of the United States ; bat wherever they pre-
vail, North, Sooth, East or West, they all equally
spring from the same miasmal cause. The great va
riety of symptoms, and forms of disease is owing
princi|ftilly to difference iu age, sex, constitution
and habits of the sufferers; hut as the cause is the
same, they will all equally jpejd to a remedy that
is conipeteut to oreicome or remove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle has its
opposite; and far every disease, or can e of dis-
ease, there is a re-agent, or in other words a spe-
cific remedy. AU Malaria, whether arising Xroin
Marshes, Stagnant Water, decomposition of animal
and ve?etabl*«ai&Uer,or even newly cleared lands,
is-the same in churacter and effect; is a poison
floating in the atm« sphere, causing disease to all
who hcea&he-it.. Iji accordance with those unalter-
able laws governing.the uperring .affinity subsisting
between opp'osrtes, there Is in- the preparatiou be-
fore us, offered to the public,
TIIE NATUKAL ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA,
which neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in
coutact with.itr even in theopen air, and wlisn taken
iuternally completely purifies the system affected by
it of its baneful influence, and thus- restores and
preserves health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely^new, and
unknown to any but the proprietor, who distinctly
claims the following extraordinary result^, from its
use .*
It will instantly check the ague in persons who
have suffered for any length of time, from one day
tQ twenty years, and by continuing its use, accord-
ing to the directions, a radical cure will.be effected ;
the patient continuing free from the complaint for
ever; unless subsequent exposure to malaria should
make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon the poison in the system,
it will immediately relieve all the distressing symp-
toms of bilious or ague diseases, and when the dis-
ease is cured it will entirely prevent the accession
of
GENERAL DEBILITY and JTIOHT SWEATS,
which so often follow the administration of other
medicines. The patient at once begins to recover
apj^fcte aud strength, and contiuues to improve
until reswred to perfect health.
By its use fever and Ague may be banished from
every family and class iu the community ; farmers,
mechanics, and all laboring yeoule may be using i
this article as a
preventive,
and pursue their respective avocations 1* perfei
safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sicklv
season, which is often to them the most valuable
part of the year.
Since the introduction of the CURE in every part
of the United States, its success has been so com-
plete aud unvarying as to have fuily proved these
assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date
of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many,
eveu of the most candid minds, because all the re-
sources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue
ague or bilious diseases ; and what was still worse
for ague sufferers, all their remedies of treatment,
whether scientific or empirical, have been limited
to the use of poisonous or destructive drugs, such
as Arsenic, Quinine. Mercury% r-alicinc, ate* The
effects of these are sometimes worse than the dis-
ease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or
give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects
are superadded to the poor sufferer's first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particu-
larly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague
remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uni-
formly assert they may be taken with perfect safety,
even wheu it is notoriously well known that their
potency depends solely upon destructive poi?on.
Now as a proof that the remedy is not only valua-
ble on account of its power to cure diseases, but
that it is also

WOBTHY OK PUBLIC CONFIDENCE,
because of its
singular and ENTIRE IIAEMLESSXESS,
The following certificate from one of the most cele
brated chemists in the United States has been ob-
tained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle :
Nkw York. June 11, 1^55.
. ."I have made a chemical examination of Kliodcs'
Feverand Ague Cure, or Antidote to Ma aria, and
have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine aud
Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either
in it, nor have I round any substance in its compo-
sition thatwouid prove injurious to the constitution.
"JAMES 11. CHILTON, M. D , Chemist."
_ It is a stubborn fact, therefore, thai this Remedy
is destined not only to relieve the human family
from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good
work by preventing the taking of other medicines
which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient
makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure
than it is as a preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the
one under consideration, if the mediciue be taken
in advance. Tiiis is owing to the diseases being
produced by one and the same cause, and therefore
all. both residents and travelers, should protect
themselves by the timely use of this preventive,
and not wait for the poison already lurking in their
veins to develope itself iu a violent attack. Take
the cure as a preventive, aud so destroy the poison
before it does harm.
Fuli directions and advice as to diet and habits
of life prepared by a distinguished physician long
resident in a bilious climate now accompany each
bottle.
it will often be found necessary to precede this
medicine by a mild cathartic or anti-bilious purga-
tive. The very best thing for general use is a mod-
erate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to
cleanse the stomach and free the biliary passages.
Remember that where this is necessary, or there is
costivene s, it huI be taken or the operation of the
antidote will be seriously obstructed.
Oxly C \ ii Tin n .—In certain S'vecified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure in-
to shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them
in sleepiug rooms ; for the vapor rising from the
medicine, and also the air wafted across, or circu-
lated over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evapo-
rated, will counteract and destroy, to a degree com-
mensurate with its exposure, the miasmata orjtoison
contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibit-
iug the Cure should likewise be resorted to when
very young infants are exposed to malarious situa-
tions.
The bottles in which this medicine is put up have
the words "Rhodes' Fever aud Ague Cure" blown
in the glass, and on theoutside wrapper is the name
of the medicine, (the copyright of which is secured)
and the signature of the proprietor. Tnese precau-
tions are adopted to prevent counterfeits and imi-
tations.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits wherever introduced and used. These
will be considered sufficient.
Prepared and so .d by the proprietor.

Having been informed of the illness of a poor, bat
worthy woman, who has ndt been free from Fever
an i Ague a month at a time for the last tweive
years, I supplied her gratuitously with Rhodes9 Fe-
ver and Ague Care. She took in all four bottles;
which completely restored her to health and strength
—and as four months 1 as now elapsed, there is no
reason to doabt ihe permanency of the cure.
Iam a'so aware of many other cases in which it
has been used and have never known it to fail.

James A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir:—I hava just
sent an order to Ames & Ualliday for another half
gross of your Fever and Ague Cure. It has sold
like hot cakes, and I have on y two bottles on hand.
One reason it has soid is because when I have heard
of a case of Ague or Chill Fever, I have sent a bot-
tle and told them t" try it, and if it did not help
them they were not obliged to pay for it, and they
were ail satisfied. I had one case of Chill Fever
where it run four days, bat the man came to see me
on the sixth day well satisfied.
Trulyyoars, JOHN P. GLADDING.

number of Fever and Ague cases. Hoping these

every case.

THE BEST NOW IX USE.
f ■ MIIS Mill differs from ali others in the constnit
JL tion of the upper or runner stone, which la com
pos?d of French Rurr Blocks,enclosed in a cast iron,
case, and forms the back and hoop of the stone, with
a cast iron eye or bush, that is of greater external
diameterat the bottom than at the top, is secured to.
the back by four bolts, so that every blook is hi tho
form of a dovetail, which gives greater strength to a
stone than any other method, that is required Id
small mills where the stone is run with great speed
and becomes dangerous if not strongly made; It also
gives any weight to a stone of small diameter that is
required, without making it thick or high.
This mill is a square frame, made of wood. In tho
form of a husk, with bridge-tree, spindle, balance*
rine, driver, and regulating screw, and grinds upon
the same principle as a large mill, differiajc only im
the runner stone: it being of greater weight, enables
itto grind nearer the centrea greater quantity of
grain with less powet: than any other now in use; to

These mills do not require a njt l-wright to set
them up, and all that is necessary to put them 1a
operation, is to attach a band to the whirl on the spin-
dle, with a drum sufficient large to ran the 34 inch
xnill240 revo utions per minute, attached to gijrstean*
or water power. Ry the steady application of steam
power, it will grind 10 to 12 bushels per hoar of good
meal; and wid grind wheat as well as corn* Tho
thirty inch mill, if put to its fullest speed, wi«l grind
from 12 to 15 bushels per hour.
