could be thus imposed on y.ho informed
him three times in one night that by visiting
n ccrtuin place in-that town he would have
revealed to him something of importance.
| The young man WAS disturbed, but did not
obey the summons until after the following
day, when the angel again visited him. AT
the place appointed he found in the earth n
box which contained set of thin plates re-
sembling gold, with Arabic characters in
scrlbed on them. The plates were infinitely
described as being connected with rings in
shape of the letter D which facilitated the
opening and shutting of the book. The
preacher said he found in the same place
two stones, with which he was enabled Ivy
placing them over his eyes and putting his
head IN dark corner, to derypher the
hleroglyphlcs on the plates This we were
told was performed TO admiration, and now,
as the result, we have a book which the
speaker informed US was the Mormon Bible
"A hook second 10 no 9TH without which
the holy Bible as he seemed to think would
be of little use.
1t appears from his statement, that three
of the offspring of Joseph, by his youngest
son Ephraim, whose names were Lamar,
Nephi and Lehigh, as near as we could un-
derstand, were the persons from whom
sprang Mormon. Lamar and Nephi rather
declined from walking in the right way,
but Lehigh, was firm in the faith-Mormon
was prophet, led them eastward until they
came to the sea, as we suppose, where they
built ship and came to this western world.
10 prove this, the preacher referred US to
, Genesls, 49th chapter md go. verse, and
SAID the branches running over the wall was
r neither more nor less than the progeny of
Joseph, leaving their own and coming to
this country He went into n detail of the

1t TooTH ACHE. DR.. Ryan, a physician of
e great respectahiity and extensive practice,
gives in the Medical Journal for July, the
c following interesting statement. A gentle
r. man who attends my lectures Mr.. Meyers
O OF Newington causeway,) frequently applied
e sulphuric acid to his tooth with some relief;
h but on one occasion, he in a moment of
If confusion. took down the next bottle to his
remedy, which contained nitric acid To
his great surprise, he experienced immedi-
ate relief. Since that period he has not suf-
tered fiom tooth ache, though three years
% have now elapsed. During the last year he
!, informed me of the success of this remedy,
- which induced me to try it, while laboring
II under the most intense pain from tooth ache.
D. The effect was immediate, and no pain,
whatever was produced. have since used
10 1t IN numerous cases, and invariably with
n complete success. In some instances the
r. disease does not return for DAYS or weeks.
10 and IN others not for months. The hest
e method of employing it is by means of lint
n wrapped round probe, and mostened with

a to the cavity of the tooth, care being taken
< not TO touch the other teeth, the gums or the
j. cheeks. On Withdrawing the probe, and
y enquring how the patient feels, the usual
It reply is, "the pain is entirely gone" Tho

y water. The acid should be gradually APP
I Piled to the whole cavity of the tooth,
: or otherwise second application will be
required before complete relief will be OBJ
i tanned. This remedy may be used when
!. the gum and cheek are infamed, so as to
/ preclude the possibility of extraction. In
n cases where the diseased fang remains, and
=. when the carries face the adjacent tooth, it
G obviates the necessity of extraction in all
cases of hollow teeth, which NIL practition-
!, ers declare to be desirable if possible; and
it enables the dentist to perform the opera
ton of "stopping or filing teeth" much
,, sooner than he can otherwise accomplish.
/ In word, it will alleviate vnst deal of
human suffering and supersede most
t painful operation. 1t is not panacea for
NIL the diseases of tho teeth and gums,
; though a safe and efficacious remedy for
the most common cause of tooth ache. 1t
will be valuable remedy for children, del
catc persons, and pregnant women. 1t
does not accelerate the decay of the tooth

Kentucky, previous TO the election, Mr.. Da-
Wis, the Clay candidate, at one of the log
rolllngs in the district, made n speech
