GREATEST WONDER OF THE AGE.

LA EN- 0AAv AlvlO nlING, AND 'MAG-
Il NETIC FLUiD.-Thesc wonderful Rings,
and tho Gavanic Fluid, have created great sensa-
ton throughout Europe, and are attracting crowds
TO see them, both in New York and Boston. They
cure with astonishing rapidly rheumatism, govt,
ticdoloreux, fits, cramp sick headache, indigestion,
paralysis stiff joints, general debility, deficiency Of
nervous cnArgy, and all nervous disorders. They
produce all the beneficial results Of the ordinary gall
vanic battery, or electric and magpstic machines,
without the injurious shocks which always accom-
pany their application. The secret Of preparing
the Ring was discovered by Professor farmancc
Christie, of London, in October last and they have
been recently introduced into this country by Dr. A.
Christie, who warns the American public, from the
beginning, to beware Of spurious limitations. To
guard against fraud, he vii, appoint but one agency

made up to extend the Boston and Fitchburg
Railroad to Burlington. VI and thence TO
Oedensburg is only 100 mies-total from the
Upper Lakes to Boston, 80 miles, while
from Buffalo to Boston Is 525 miles. The
tolls TO the State of New York, independent
of freight from Buffalo to Albany is 35 cents,
while cents is all that is paid to let down the
same barrel Of flour by the Nellend Canal to
Ogdensburg. Such are the advantages of the
Ogdensburg route in grades over the Wes-
tern Railroad. that barrel of flour NAV be
carried from Ogdeusburg To Boston as cheap
as from Albany to Boston. Now we think
1t more than likely that the Bostonians may
carry their enterprise and their Improvements
little too far, but in the mean time that CITY
will have diverted large portion of the trade
which now belongs to New York. The speedy
completion of the Erie Railroad is the only
thing which can preserve New York her SUI
premacy in the Western trade. The amount
necessary for its completion ought to he sub
