M R. LIE TELLER, DEN7TSy.--In the
AVA house adjoining Mr.. EdTlund Randotph's
rear the Capitol, is practising in the various
branches of his profession, l. z. cleansing and
restoring the teeth to their natural elegance, by
removing that corrosive substance called tartar,
which adheres TO them in the form OF black or
yellow crust, which is the cause 81 many teeth
decsying, an offensive breath, and the corroder
of tie gums and sockets. He sets artificial ones
so as TO stand firm, being useful as well as orna-
mental, plugs the dccayed cavities of such as can
be preserved, and extracts such as are too far
gene TO be saved, in which operation he makes
use OF PRUFF's PATENT EXTRACTING INsrRU-
MENTs, which takes the teeth out without any
possibility of fractiring the jaw or bruising the
gums, and with much less pain than the instru-
fdents that are in general use for which opera
ton his price is one dollar, when done at his own
house
He deems it unnecessary to say any thing con-
corning the advantage derived from the manner
of his performance or his abilities, leaving it for
his former operations to speak.
He has DENTIFKIcE prepared by himself of
superior quality for the preservation ofthe gums
and teeth, void Of corrosive substance.
Mr. LIZ TELLER wishes the public to have
notice that as he has now made Richmond his
permanent residence, all his prices are col5idera-
bly, lower than when he was only visitor of the
place.

We understand that only one regiment OF

mandcd by colonel Baron Raden, and is near

Various conjecturcs are formed as 20 the
destination of this expedition, but we hope
it will be kept a profound secret until it has
sailed. We know that commodore Owen OF

has been sent for to town.
There are EIGHT or nine sail of the line in
