GENERAL SCOTT IN PARIS.—A numerously at-
tended meeting of American residents in Paris assembled fl
few days ago, at the Hotel Westminster, to present their
respects to General Scott on the occasion of his arrival in
that city. His Excellency Mr. Dayton, tho United States'
Minister, in addressing the General on behalf of his coun-
trymen in Paris, assured him of their respect for himself
personally, and their high appreciation of the value of his
long services to his country, referring particularly to the
activity and energy displayed in his recent loyal defence of
the capital, when threatened by the Confederates of the
South ; and declaring that his countrymen would ever
cherish in their hearts a grateful recollection of his name.
He expressed their regret at the feeble state of his health,
and their wishes for his speedy istoration, and trusted that
on his return home he would find his country ouco more
happy and united, and moro prosperous than ever. Gen.
Scott who seemed much affected at the compliment paid him,
replied in suitable terms, expressing his warm thanks, after
which the gentlemen withdrew. A copy of verses,from the
pen of Mr. Horner, was presented to the general, in honour
of his arrival in Paris.

The Hertford Mercury publishes a circular pro-
posing the erection of a school at Haileybury, not inferior
to the schools of Eton, Harrow, Rugby, and Winchester,
and where the sons of the clergy and gentry, of professional
men, merchants, and traders may be educated under com-
petent professors at a moderate cost. Haileybury, it is
said, may be purchased at about one-fourth of its original
cost.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.
Forewarned, Forearmed.—During the late autumn and
early winter months, these inestimable remedies will prove
themselves the best preventative of disease. Much danger
lies in neglecting even a common cold, many a month's
agony is consequent on the overlooking rheumatic pains.
Both may be eradicated by rubbing this inflammation-
quelling ointment upon the skin, and taking Holloway 'e
Purifying Pills. The experience of 25 'years has incon-
testibly proved these home medicaments can never be
wrongly used or applied without advantage. The pills and
ointment mutually assist each other. They purify the
blood, regulate the circulation, and exercise the most bene-
ficial influence over every external and internal organ.
Unlike deleterious drugs, or mercurial preparations, Hol-
loway's medicaments are innocuous.
