full assurance of his being cleansed OF all impu-

milk, either pure as obtained from the COW, Ut

very best purifier of the blood and amover OF all

their prejudices and interest. The people at
large are still creduous enough for all their pur

efforts. will furnish them we greatly fear, with
rich harvest in time to come, as they have always
done in times past.

and Mr.. CalareK, Manager of the Camp-street
Theatre, in New Orleans, which we noticed few
days ago, appears to have resulted in separa-
ton. The former having made arrangements to
show his feats on the tight rope, at the Orleans
Theatre, the latter applied to one of the Judges
for an injunction to prevent Cline from perform
ing. The Judge having refused to grant the in
junction, CeldweH applied to the Supreme Court
for mandamus against the Judge. The subject
