JVXXS?C'3E!XJT ? /\ N'Y A New York paper, noticing the arrest of Parsons, the Niagara Falis postmaster, arrested for opening letters, says mildly: "He was the victim of a mania to know the con? tents of every letter placed in his hands." A Pike's Peaker, writing to a Min? nesota journal, says the miners are very much discouraged in that region; they have to dip; through a .solid vein of silver four feet thick, before they reach thc gold. A cotemporary heads an article on ''tilters*'-"Shocking Disclosures." He probably meant "Stocking Dis? closures.'' An advertiser in one ot our ex? changes wants "a y nug man to take charge of a span of horses of a li? tigious tum of mind."

THE various diseases to which tba:, no- ? ble and useful animal, tho horse, is subject, and the little knowledge that is j known of them by farriers and ignorant : ostlers, have occasioned many remedies to ! be offered to the public under different 1 forms, with high encomiums, and sane- , tiomed by dign?ned names. Some of these j arc injurious; others, at best, of little use. and many entirely worthless, and do not I meet the want. " A good medicine, free j from objections of this kind, has long been j deaired'bymany gentlemen who have va? luable horses. Vve therefore offer the only good medicine-the true "GEB M AS i HORSE POWDER," which has proved so efficacious in all the diseases, it is pre- j pared from the original recipe of Br. Hei- | nitsh, of Germany. Its ex; ra ordinary vir- j tues are attested to by thousands, and for fifty years has stood, and still stands, first j in the estimation of all experienced farm era and agriculturists as thc best medicine ; for the horse. It is recommended for j horses foundered by eating to excess or drinking cold water when heated, to such I as have symptoms of glanders or are ex- ? posed to the infection by being with other ; horses, for indigestion, distemper, hide- j bound, drowsiness, loss of appetite, it ward sprains, debility, wasting of flesh, sore eyes, swelled legs, grease, mange, surfeit, old coughs, for exhaustion from" work. It [ carries off all foul humors, purities and i cools the blood, and prevents horses be- I coming stiff and foundered, lt is a stiniu lus for weak stomachs, and renders the i limbs and skin soft and fine, giving a smooth coat to the hair.

THEODORE STARE, Mayor. J. s. MCMAHON. City Clerk. The Great American JBiooci Purifier. THE QUEEN'S DELIGHT ! riM'A: QIT ?-.EN'S DELIGHT, tin great L American Alt. ratho and lil ?od I'nri Many diseases, and. toe?, many complaint's. ' which have their origin in a vitiated state of the blood, are treated only as symptoms and results: whereas, ::' the reniedv had been applied to enrich the blood and rcn I der it pure, both cause and effect would ' have been removed. The Queen's Delight i is offered to thc afflicted as a sure remedy I for those discasea arising; from an impur. : condition of the blood, lt- has a direct '? and specific action upon that fluid, and consequently renders the blood pure, lt ! is said, on high authority, that "man no j sooner begins to live than he begins to I die, aud that the characteristics of the 1 living organism are ceaseless change and j ceaseless waste.-' lt is obvious, therefore, ? to every reflecting mind, that unless tin blood is pure, in supplying the waste tis : sues with material, it must be tho cause of * I innumerable ills and constitutional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He ' patic Disorders, Consumption, Inllamma I tiona, Fevers, Are. Lifo and health is only to be maintained by the circulation of pure arterial blood. Wo therefore advise every ona whose I blood is in thc least vitiated by indulgence i or excess, and whose constitution is im ! paired by disease and is suffering from i Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump ? tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles, Roils. Itching Humor of the Skin, Erysi? pelas, Shin Diseases, Tetter. Roughness of the Skin. Pimples, Blotches, Fains in the Bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictic Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation of the Bladder and Kidneys, Pains in the Back, General Debility, and for all complaints arising from deficiency and poverty of ' blood, to use the Queen's Delight. Females of delicate constitution, suffer? ing from weakness and depression ol mind in consequence of those complaints which nature imposes at the period of change, have a pleasant and cure remedy in the Queen's Delight. Children whose fair and ruddy complex? ion gave, early promise of health and beauty, but too soon become blanched and pale by some her? rlitary taint of the blood, will have thc rich boon restored by using the Qut en's Delight. The uuaccliniated and persons traveling into warm countries will find the Queen's Delight a gnat protection from all malari? ous affection and dis^ asea which originate in a change of climate, diet and life. Tho extraordinary and unprecedented cures performed by the Queen's Delight Compound is attracting the attention of every one, not only at home, but abroad. Thc merits of this compound arc being felt and appreciated everywhere. Hear what they say of it in New Wuk: "It is a remedy ol much importance and value, exerting an influence over all thc secre? tions, which is unsurpassed by any other known alterative, lt is extensively used in ail the various forms of primary aud secondary syphilitic affections; also, in scrofulous, hepatic and cutaneous diseases, in which ita use is followed by the most successful results." Ita properties as a remedy were first in? troduced to the notice of the profession by Dr. Tkos. Young Simone, of South Ca^rolina^p as early as 1828, as a valuable alteraSPPfre- V medy in syphilitic affections, and others re epiiring use of mercury. Dr. Simons' state? ments have been endorsed and extended by Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. H. R. Frost, of Charleston. From the reports in its favor, there seems no reason to doubt the efficacy of this medicine in Secondary Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous Diseases, Chronic Hepatic Affections and other com? plaints benefited by alterative medicines.
