The Boy that " Licked" the Prince
or Wales.—The Birmingham (Eng-
lish) Joiunal prints the iollowiug
account of a flogaing the Prince of
Wales received from a poor boy:
Dnring her Majesty's residence, some
years ago, at Osborne, in the Isle ol
Wight, her children were accustomed to
ramble along the seashore. Now, it so
happened oc one occasioou that the
yonug Prince of Wales met a boy who
liad been gathering Sea-shells. The boy
had got a basket full. The young Prince,
presuming on his high position, thought
himself privileged to do what he pleased
with impunity. So without any notice
he apset the basket and shells The poor
i"d was very indignant, and observed,
"Ion do that again, and I'll lick
too."
"Put the sheila in the basket," said
the Prince, "and see if I don't."
The shells were gathered np and put
into the 'basket. " Now," said the lad,
" touch 'einagain, old fellow, if you
dare," whereupon the Prince again pitch-
ed over the shells. AmI the la<
"pitched into him," and gwe him such
a licking as few persons e-er had.
His lip was cut open,ard nose knocked
considerably out of its perpendicular,
aud his eyes of a color towell become the
champion of a prize ring. His disfigured
face could not long be concealed from
his royal mother. She Inquired the
cause of his disfignrement The Prince
waa silent, but at last he contested the
troth. The poor boy was ordered be-
fore the Queen. He was asked to tell
bu story. He did so in a very straight-
flrcarard rnanuer. At its conclusion,
turning to her child, tuc Qaeen said.
"You have bceu rightly served, sir.
Had you net been pnuished sufficiently
already, I should have punished you
severely. When you commit a like

The celebrated Eagle Ploughs, manufactured in
Worcester, by Kugglbs, Xourse, Mafox 4c Co., have
been tested for years and their superiority so thor
oughly established that they only require to be orce
tried in our Ftifl prairie lands to supercede all others.
Foup hundred premiums have been awarded tc these
rioughs, and the Ploughmen who have used tiit-m, by
the diCerent Agricultural Societies in the United
States and elsewhere. The draft or power required
to move these l'ioughs in turning a furrow ol" any
required width or depth, is less than other ploughs,
and the quality of the castings, with their superior
Snish and durability, have e^abiished a reputation
in the North beyond all others.
A large stock of these Ploughs, of all sixes, will
be kept consiantiy on hand.

All Ihe causes which lead to decay of the Genera 1

pointed out by which its powers may be preserved J
to extreme old age! Alore especially is explained j
that unseen and usually anknotcn form of decay |
from which thousands become diseased, insane, and
die„ without ever suspecting what has destroyed
them. Even medical men as yet know but little
upon this important matter, which it is of the first
moment every man should understand for himself
Ail the recipes are given in English, aud the treat
ment is made so plain that all can practise it.
This work is also fully illustrated, both with En-
gravings and with colored Plates, and an introduc-
tory chapter gives an opitomeof all the new discov-
eries respecting the Female system and Generation

This is beyond comparison the most extraordinary
work on Physiology ever published There is noth-
ing whatever that married people can either require
oi vish to know but what is fully explained, aud
many matters are introduced, of the most impor-
tant and interesting character, to which no allusion
even can be found in any . ther work in our lan-

DR. HOLLICK'S PUBLICATIONS.
"We hule just reada new work called -The Mar-
riage Guide,'' by Dr. F. iloLLtcK, the well knowu
author of the Origin of Life, and we are constrained
to admit that it is the most extraordinary book that
ever came under our notice. Thoroughly scientific
enough for deeply read scholars, or for practical ex-
perimenters, it is yet plain and popular enough for
the most ordinary understanding. Nowhere else in
the English language can there be found such a
complete and practically useful compendium oj
Physiological information, strictly adapted for the
use of married people, or of those intending to mar-
ry. All the new discoveries of Puuchet, BisoJioff,
and others, are fully given, as well as many others
bv the author himself, never before made known*
The engravings are also excellent, as well as curi
ous. lu fact, taking it altogether, it is beyond al<
question the Book upon these matters, and will
probably become as popular in future, and as uni-
versally referred to as Aristotle has formerly been.
One feature which peculiarly distinguishes this book
from all others of the kind, is the peculiar tone of
moralitu aud dtlicacy which pervades it all through
au 1 which makes it both proper and useful to be read
bv all persons, of both sexes, who have attained the
ageofpuberty. A very eminent cleruym-n authorises
us to say that he deems it a duty to introduce it pri-
vately among his flock as the best means he knows
of preventing and overcoming those hateful vice;,
unfortunately so destructive tosoulacd body, which
are at the present time so fearfully prevalent.—Med,

"Male Generative Orqaks."—This book, by Dr.
Hollii k, the eminent popular Lecturer, and suc-
cessful practitioner, should be in the hands of every
man who values his health, and the preservation or
restoration of his powers. It is complete in every
particular, and is the only work ih the English lan-
guage where that fell destroyer of thousands, urin-
ary seminal lost, is fully explained, aud its cure
and prevention pointed out. How many thousands
yearly die or become imbecile from this cause, who

Their power over the above diseases is not ex-
celled, if equalled, by any other preparation in the
United States, as the cures attest, in many rases af-
ter skiflful physicians had failed.
These Bitters are worthy the attention of Invalids.
Possessing great virtues in the rectification of the
liver and lesser glands, exercising the most search-
ing power in weakness and atlections of the diges-
tive organs,they are withal safe, certain and pleas-
ant.
TESTIMONY FROM. TEXAS.
B. F. Rucker, Washington, Texas, Sept.,
04th, le53, says : **I have sold the last bottle of
tierman Bitters to-day. It is quite a popular medi-
cine, and those who have used it speak in the high-
est terms of its salutary influence."
S "\V Fi&lier, Matagorda, Texas, July 15th,
1?53, says : 4*The German Bitters have become ve-
ry popular here and are moving off rapidly."
X 11 ItlcZVIalion «V Co., Richmond, Texas,
Sept. 22.1£52, say6 : "We a e pleased to inform you
that your German Bitters give universal satisfaction;
it is in great demand. Send as early as practica-
ble."
Geo. Young. Wheelock, Texas, April 17,1854
says : 4*The German Bitters have arrived in good
time for the summer sickness, and I think there will
be a good demand for them, as I find every person
who has used them pronounced it the best medicine
of the kind they have ever known."
These Bitters are entirely vegetable, thereby pos-
sessing great advantage over most of the prepara-
tions recommended for similar diseases.

A FXW SHORT EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS, TESTIMO-
NIALS, III.:
"I have used Jacob's Cordial in my family, and
have found ita most efficient, and in my judgment,
a valuable remedy." Hon. HIRAM WaR> ER,
Judge of Supreme Court, '. a.
"It gives me pleasure in being able to recommend
Jacob's Cordial—my own personal experience, and
the experience of my neighboxs a? d friends around
me. is a sufficient guarantee for me to believe it to
be all that it purports to be, viz: a sovereign rem
edy." WM. H.UNDERWOOD,
Formerly Judge Superior Court. Cherokee Circui:.
•'I take great pleasure in recommending this in-
valuable medicine to all afilicied with bowel dis-
eases, for which I believe it to be a sovereign reme-
dy—decidedly superior to anyth.ng else ever tried
by me.1' A, A. GAULDING,
Deputy G. M. of the Grand Lodge of Georgia.
4kI have used Jacob's Cordirl iu my family, and
this, with aji I hear about as a remedy by those who
have tried it induces me to believe that it atands at
the head of every preparation of the kind, and I
would recommend its use in the diseases for which
it is compounded." MILES G. DOBBINS,
Cashier of the Bank of the State of Georgia, Griffiin.
**lf there is any credibility iu human testimony,
Jr.cob's Cordial must stand pre-eminent above all
other preparations for the cure of Bowel Dieeasts.
From the mass cf testimony in its favor coming
in from al 1 quarters, it must be very far in advance,
as a curative agent, of most if not all other 'patent*
preparations." A, FLEMING,
Cashier Marine aud Fire Insurance Bank,Griffiin
"This efficient remedy is travelling into celebrity
as fast as Bonaparte pushed his columns into iiussia
and gaining commendatiou wherever used."

THB undersigned, propi^etors of Louden & Go's
Cherokee Liniment and Standard Family Medi-
J cines, having had their attention called to the great
{'importance of a Remedy which wouli effectually
| destroy the ?erew Worm in Stock, and prevent the
j attack of the Blow Fly, hare now the satisfaction of
notifying the citizens of Texas, that they have dis-
covered the great remedy, which they warrantto ex-
pel the Screw Worm, instant 3-, on application.
Read the evidence below, coming from disinter-
ested citizens of Texas:
The following is extracted from a letter received
by Louden &. Co., from a highly respectable mer-
chant of Texas:
Your Cherokee Liniment was used by a farmer In
Grimes county,as a substitute :"or Calomel, Tobaeco
Juice, or Fish Oil, and the result was, it destroyed
the Maggots immediately, and the smell of it proved
so offensive to the Blow F!y that they would not
make a second attack where the Liniment had been
applied to an injury.
In that section Calomel and other remedies are
entirely superseded, and much expense saved u>
stock raisers.
Wm. Henry Eliot, Druggist, of Houston, Texas,
writes, Nov. 11, 1K 4: I can and will vouch for the
cfiicacy of your Cherokee Lin ment. from personal
observation, and I unhesitatingly reconrmend it to
all persons engaged in raising or ha' ing Cattle,
Horses. Hogs. Sheep, tc. The application is sim-
ple, and in no case has it produced any bad effects.
Shake the bottle well before using, and apply with a
feather or brush, sufficient to saturate the place

The great and important event—Religious, Poli-

Old World, give to these Publications an interest
and value they never before possessed. They oc-
cupy a middle ground between the hastily written
ne s-items, crude speculations, and fiying rumors
of the newspaper, and the ponderous tone of the
historian, written long after the living interest in
the facts he records shall have passed away. The
progress of the war in the east occupies a large
space in their pages. Every movement is closely
criticised, whether of friend or of foe, and ail short-
comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from
a the Crimea and from the Baltic in Blackwood's Ma-
where the worms are deposited, and they will vac ite j gazine, from two of its most popular contribu
and fa 1 dead in five minutes- It is seldom neces- 1 tors, give a more intelligible and reliable account

Rogak & Heppknstali, Lockhart, Texas, write,
Nov. 1, 1^54: We have found out the virtues of your
Cherokee Liniment for killing Worms, and have
sold out what we hnd and got another supply. The
Worm season is now nearly over; but we expect
that we shall have a large .lemand next Summer.
Your Medicines are gaining grouud in the estima-

Extract from a letter from the Hon. Daviu C.
Dickson, of Grimes county, Texas, dated Aug. 21,
1855: 'Louden & Co's Cherokee Liniment is the
great remedy for the destruction of V\ orms 01 Mag-
gots which trouble the domestic animals of Texas.
The Liniment destroys them effectually and instan-
taneously.
"You need have no fear of warranting it; it will
certainly do it, and I could send you a large number
of certificates, if necessary, from our best citizens.
It gives universal satisfaction as a destroyer of those

P>itations have sprung into exiatence founding

the great reputation and extended ose of which haa
been mainly attributable to the many wonderful
cures effected by the use of this preparation. While
Sarsaparilla Boot forma an important part of ita
combination, it ia, at the same time, commanded
with other vegetable remedies of great power, and
it il in the peculiar combination and scientific man-
ner of ita preparation, that ita remarkable success
in the cure of disease depends. Other preparations
imitate it in the style of putting np, and in bearing
the name of one of its ingredients, and here ends
their resemblance to it. Those needing a remedy
and purifier like this, are requested to note where
this difference exists, and in making choice of what
they will use, not to take any other but that one en-
titled to their confidence, from the long list of cures
it has effected on living witnesses, whose testimonials
and residences have been published, and who are
still bearing testimony to its worth.

THIS Mill differs from al' others in the construc
tion of the upper or runner stone, which is com
posed of French Burr Blocks, enclosed in a cast iron
case, aud forms the back and hoop of the stone, with
a cast iron eye or hu*h. that is of greater external
diameter at the bottom than at the top. is secured to
the back by four bolts, so that every block is in the
form of a dovetail, which gives greater strength toa
stone than any other method, that is required in
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 the
form of a husk, with bridge-tree, spindle, balance,
rine, driver, and regulatiug screw, and grinds upon
the same principle as a large mill, differing ouly in
therur.uer stone; it being of greater weight, enables
t to grind nearer the centres greater quantity of
grain with less power than any other now in use; is
Portabi and may be attached to - team. Water or

To ihe People f Tex s!
I HE inventor of whatever saves labor, fords or
increased Comfort to humanity, has beeu con-
sidered a benefactor to his race, anu hence, as well
as for purpose of gain, impositions have been at-
tempted, uot unfrequently with success by laimauts
for pretended discoveries aud to such an extent as
to cas> suspicion ou that which is genuine and meri-
torious- Therefore, in offering to the public a pie-
paration calcu ated to relieve human uflerin* and
prolong life, the repugnance natural on entering
into competition with so many "humbugs*' as «.re
every day systematically lauded and pubed by mere
mercenary Vendors, is only overcome by an abi-
ding contidencein the efficacy and quality of the ar-
ticle we nfier a. d our reiiance on a discerning * ub-
lic for a due appreciation of its merits. M edical
men every where have had cause to regret the fre-
quent necessity for.the use of Mercury and its pre-
parations in the treatment of various diseases, but
scieuce failed to discover a less laneful remedy,
that would equally 'tuswer the purpose. In pre-
scribii g for his patients th<* physician has frequent-
ly to encounter the mortifying conse^ntnces of two
results—death, if the disease be allov-ed to take its
course, or au artificial disease, ahich ruins the con-
stitution for ever and entiils upon it numberless
disorders—to which Leath would neprefera' le—en-
gendered by the remedies employed for the removal
A the first. When be remeaubers that this last dis-
ease v.h«chhe has of neces&ity created, to urive
from the S\ stem oue of more* imminent fau.lity.ma>
induce much greater misery, be feels that the art
and science he professes halt measurably oone little
for the human being, on which in such instance, it
has been exercised.
A remedy then which win operate as cfficiefrt'y
as .Mercury and possesses none of Us dangerous |
qualities or pernicious ejects ou thehumau Econo-
my must be a Desideratum,and such is
DR. G. HOLLAND'S HYGIENIC
panacea.
"EXCLUSIVELY A VEGETABLE PREPARA-
TION."
It may be used by persons of ihe most feeble Con-
stitution as well as those of the strongest frame
with equal safety, and furthermore it is pleasant
and agreeable to take anu therefore can be adminis-
tered, when frequently the nauseating compound*
commonly prescribed would, not be retained on the
patient's stomach.

to their splendid stock of to 7X octavo Pianos,
which they believe cannot be excelled by any others
in the city, either in tone, finish, quality of materi-
als or workmanship. Vkdaxs have been awarded
by the American Institute to their instruments five
years in succession.
Having recently purchased Che entire stock of the
late firm of Dubois & Warimer formerly Dubai* &

Forte manufacturers, they would invite the continu-
ed favors of the fHeods and customers of said firm,
with confidence of being able-to give entire stisfac
tion. Tbe Pianos exhibiting by G. St Co., at the
World's Fair, New York, are the observed of aU ob-
servers,and challenge competition, both in elegance
of finish and vuality of tune. One is%f Paper

1 manufacturing these.Flints, cf superior qttal 1-
ty. Their advantages of o^er Paints are:
1st. They are not poisonous Sleeping apart-
ments, recently painted, nay be occupied with im-
punity, and painters using these paints are not sau-
ject to the distressing maladies arising from the use
of lead jr , ,
2d. Their beauty and durability. Zinc, on in-
side work, becomes much harder than any other
jtaints, and is not easily coiled ; is whiter than pure
white lead, and as it renins its whitens—and . ril-
liancy unaffected by bilge water, coal, or sulphurous
gases, it is unrivalled as a paint for snipe and steam-
boats. For outside use, exposed to weathfe^or ••• -ter.
Zinc Paints will retain their color and preserving
qualities long after other paints afw-destroyed.
3d. The White Zinc Paints will-.cover (eqnal
weights) about two thirds mere suirfaoe than pure
laed—this, in connection with their greater durabil-
ity. makes in the long run the cost of pa&ilng with
Zinc less than half the cost cf-Iced*
Brov n and Brown Stone Color Zinc Paints, which
are sold at low prices, are well adapted for palstin?
roofs, out-buildings, and all vetallft surfaces,par-
ticularly iron, which they efleCtuaUy protect from
rusting, exposed to either heat or weather. Thesa
Paints are prepared in tbe same manner, and may
be used iu all respects like White Lead. They are
for sale oy many of the principal dealers in the cities
aud large towns of the Ln ion, and by the Company's
