 Circumstances having rendered it necessary that | should discontinue the Practice of Dentistry in the town of Ltchield, R. B. MERRrMAN proposes to comJ mence the practice of the above ar and has prepared himself accordingly. Ihave lately seen number of specimens of his manner of filling and setting teeth, some of which were very difficult, and required the exercise of the sklf hand. It is but justice to MT. Merriman to say that they were all skfully per- formed and attended with little or no pain to the pa- tient. His efforts to avail himself of the latest i'm provements in the art-hs hssuperior mechanical tact together with his integrity of character, commend him to the confidence of the public " T7 71 n 'I6Tf

FRoM ENGLAND--The Queen, i, an

TO which ceremony her youth and sex ad,
ded peculiar interest Iir speech is of
the usual unmeanlng character, as 1t prop
crly should be. while uncertain Of the re
suit of the pending elections, which will
decide The pa rtv from which she shall choose
her future Ministers.
In the House of commons, previous TO its
prOroGatlon, notice was given of a motion
TO bring in Bill, in the next session Of
Parliament, vestlng the succession to the
throne in Prince George of Cambridge.
thereby passing over the next heir, the
Duke Of Cumberland, the present King of
Hanover. There is no probability, we
think, that this Bill will pass, as the demise
Of the Crown has already been provided
Cor by a Bill brought in by the present
Ministers since the late Kings death, IN
which the regular succession is preserved.
The Duke of Cumberland has probably
increased his previous unpopularI'y in
Eng land, by declaration abolishng the
constitution of Hanover, which we believe
was adopted as a consequence nf the
Treaty Of Vlena and sanctioned by his two
predecessors. If any difficulties should
ensue from this Act of the King, they viii
no doubt be adjusted by the Grand Diet of
the Germanc Confederation.
The commercial accounts by this con.
veyance are too meagre TO impart much
Information.
The accounts from Spain are so deiach
ed, That we can gather little more from
them than that the Carlists are making
rapid strides towards the final overthrow
OF The Queens power.

TO THE FREEMEN OF GRAND
ISLE COUNTY.

FELLOW CITIZENS Next Tuesday you
are to make choice OF Senator TO repre-
sent you in the Senate of this State
Judge Allen and Dr. Barnes are the only
Candidates for the office. Judge Allen has
been appoint ed to many responsible stations
and has proved himself to be a faithful
public servant. On the other hand DR..
Barnes "has been tried in the balance and
found wanting" He is also Numerically
and pol tica!ly opposed TO the great inter-
es,s Of most of you. "Thcse hard times"
are fine times for him. He can now share
notes and compel the people TO pay him his
thirty per cent Interest. Or sacrifice their
al. In fact, fellow cilizeM. his course and
character were fairly ai't pa'pabIy pictured
out to you by a writer. in the Free Press of
last week over the signature of "Bucking
ham," If you re elect him 70 the Senate,
he will do all in his power to prolong these
evil times; you have the strongest evidence
that he legisIa,es with an eye more to his
oicn interest, than to the interests of the
People. He knows fellow citizens that he
represents minority, hence you find him
aud his partznns urging his reelection on
the ground mot that he is the most fit per-
som but that be 1cas elected last year and
ought to be this; and that Judge Allen now
holds several other Offices These fellow
citizens are TOO shallow reasons TO urge in
these important times; we want man in
that station that we hno,c will be faithful 10
our interests, and lodge Allen we tno,c to
be such man. "A word to the wise is
sufficient" 60 to the polls one and all and
vote for the man that will leglsaie for the
people. PnlLo.

NEW YORK MARKET.-Auo. 26.

Nothing later specially Important, has been
received from Europe, since our last We are
now looking for nothing that can materially effect
our condition from abrOad-eXcept it be the i'm
provemenl Of our great staple, Cotton. Our debt
is in a most rapid state Of payment so much so
that the English public appear TO be asionnded.
The export Of specie still continues, with thing
coming this way. We notice that the last Boston
trader, fine ship, had but two bales Of goods on
board and several Of our Packets bavc reached
here with less than Two hundred pounds Of freight.
All eyes are now tnrned towards Congress. More
Than thirty members are now in this city, on their
way there. The recent election has given The
minority great hopes. The Message of The Presi.
dent will be read with prodigious interest. There
has been great increase of strangers in our city
within the past week, and among the grocers there
has been a good deal doing. Among all other
classes, trade is at stand. The crops throughout
the country are a5un lan, but the country was so
exceedingly bare of provisions that it will take "A
large quantity TO supply its exhausted condition.
FLouR-In the early part of the week was
very dull at 1915 for common brands West.

and the remnant being in few hands they have
put up the price dollar barrel. Sales $50

been confined principally to Western. Rich

WooL.-A state Of perfect inactivity still
pcrvades the market. Manufacturers cannot
compete with the present low prices which
goods are selling at, Notwithstanding they
/ can buy Wool lower by 80 to 40 per cent, aud
a great reduction in the price Of labor ; the
manufactured article. when brought into mar~
ket, will not realize the first cost by 10 to Is
per cent 1t is therefore very evident that
unless a decided Improvement takes place in
the monetary affairs of the country, and that
very soon, the manufacturing interest will be
totally annihilated.

INDIANS IN FLoRIDA.--We understand
from the 81. LOUIS Republican, that orders
have been issued by the Secretary Of War,
TO Major Dougherty, Superln' endcnt of

take 1000 Indian warriors TO Florida if
they can be induced to go. The order, as

procure the service of 400 Shawnecs, 900
Sacs and Foxes, 600 Deawarcs and 900

IN and upon the stage was more or less

Kentucky, and his daughter, were both
seriously wounded in the head, though
not dangerously. Mr. Love Of Tennessee,
