[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A Dangerous Wound in the
Thigh cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—About three
years ago Mr. Acton, of Melbourne, had his thigh tearfully
lacerated when out riding, his horse running away and his leg,
coming in collision with a wall; be was confined to his bed fo r
nearly eighteen months, suffering from the accident, and not ;-
withstanding the best medical advice, every effort proved to A-
successful in healing the wound, and his health became so b
ea-
paired that his life was despaired of ; in this state he co m•
menced the use of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which had
the effect of .healing the wound with wonderful rapidity and-
restoring hire to sound health.—Sold by all druggists, and at
Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
THE FIFE MAILS.—The Post-office authorities, We
hear, have all but intimated that they do not intend to insist
upon the ridiculous terms to which we alluded in our last.
It may, therefore, be almost held as settled that the convey-
ance of the mail will be resumed as usual on Saturday next,,
by the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway—the under •
standing being that, if the Post-office authorities shall b e
unsuccessful in the action about to be raised, the amount of
remuneration for carrying the mail up to the tune of the de-
cision is to be settled by arbitration ; but, if successful, t'aat
then, of course, the remuneratiou to be received by the ea/ti-
psily shall be that which the Post-office now offer in respect
of the claim they have preferred, namely, a second-class fare
for every time that the mail guards travel along the line.--
