Many orfetures are about to accrue, from failure
by iaxes; many claims, otherwise good, will be
hid by adverse possession of three years--that

bin condition to be lost.

GREATEST WONDER OF THE AGE,
DATENT GAI.VANIC RING AND MAG


DATENT GALVANIC RING, AND MAG
Il NETIC FLUID.--These wonderful Rings,
and the 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,
paralysis stiff joints, general debility, deficiency OF
nervous energy, and all nervous disorders. They
produce all the beneficial results Of the ordinary gal
vanc battery, or electric and magnetic machines,
without the injurious shocks which always accom-
pany their application. The secret Of preparing
the Ring was discovered by Professor Harmance
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 will appoint but one agency
in each of the cities of the United States.

lest" thing he has seen in some lime: Ut.
A couple very. well known in Paris are
at present arranging terms Of a 'separa-
ton, to avoid the scandal Of a public d.
,vorce. A. friend has been employed by
the husband 70 negotiate the matter. The
latest mission was in reference to q valua-
Die fling, given TO the husband by one Of
the sovereigns Of Europe, and which he
wished to retain. i For this he would make
much desired concession The friend
made the demand. "Whato said the in
dignant wife, edo you venture to charge
your self with. such a mission to me Pr
Can you believe that / could tear myself
from gift which alone recalls to me, tho

new way to Pay old Debts.

Mr.. Gregg, the author Of the, very ,in-
teresting book upon the Commerce Of the
Prairies," mentions the, prevalence Of :
custom among the. Cherokee Indians,
which .subserves all the purposes Of i
bankrupt law. When trader Of that ma
ton falls behind hand in his affairs, he is
brought before a summary tribunal, having
many Of the properties and functions Of
Judge Lynch's Court, which decides
whether the circumstances of the party
are 40 desperate as to require the interven-
ton Of the bankrupt code, II. the cause is
determined in The affirmative, the bankrupt
is stripped and tied to tree, when each
creditor, with good COW hide Or hickory
switch, scores the amount Of his dues up
on the victims bare back laying on stripe
for each dollar Of his debt. Whilst this
process is going on, the most quaint and
ludicrous remarks IRE made by the bystand-
crs to enliven the scenc-which is deem
ed most entertaining and instructive
pastine to all, save the victim Of this BAR
barous law. When the flagellation is gone
through with, the debts Of the party are
considered as paid of, and such is The ven
Grafton in which the rights acquired BY
passing through this bloody ordeal, are
held by the tribe, that not q single cent
would be received in discharge Of an ac-
count thus balanced, were the insolvent
