Many forfetures are about TO accrue, from failure

barred by adverse possession of three years--that

Texas, for want of proper authorization. Owing
to or other of these causes, the best lands
arc in condition to be lost.
Having made it my business to become acquant-

termined TO attend diligently to all claims confded to
me, require, in all cases, advance in cash, sufh-
cient to cover expenses of investigation. When
that shall be done am willing to take contingent

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.


The plan of instruction in this department of the
University, presents peculiarites to be found in
other school of medicine in the Union. The lee
lures commence on the LIST of October and terminate
on the 29th of June ensuing.
Owing to the length of the session, which en-
braces period of nine months, three professors
enabled to perform all the duties which in other med
ical institutions usually assigned to six; and the
students seldom required to attend more than
two lectures on the same day. BY this arrange
ment, the students have an opportunity Of being
well grounded in Anatomy, Physiology, and other
elementary branches of medical science before they
investigate their applications in connexion with the
study of the practice of Medicine and Surgery.
Immediately before each lecture, the students are
subjected to full and rigid examination the pre-
ceding lecture, or on portions of approved text
books. 1t is apparent that the plan, of which the
outlines have been briefly stated, is which allows
the student to commence well as to complete his
medical studies in the institution, and presents a
happy combination of the advantages of the system
ofinstructon, by private pupage and that of public
lectures.
Any person of approved moral conduct may offer
as candidate, and receive the degree of M. d.,
without reference to the time he has been engaged
in the study of medicine, or of joining the school,
the various examinations prescribed by the enact
ments. The professors are:
Robert Z. Rogers, M. D., Professor of Cbemis-
try Pharmacy, and Materia Medica.
Henry Howard, M. D., Professor of Pathology
and Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, and Medical
Jurisprudence.
James L. Cabell, M. D., Professor of Anatomy,
Physiology, and Surgery.

From the Brooklyn Daily Advertiser.
The following note was received this morning from
ex-sherif Stryker. We met him in Fulton street.
limping along by the aid Of cane, and on inquiry,
found he was suffering from attack of rhcu-
matism Having heard much said of the efficacy OF
the Galvanic Plaster in such cases, and being in
possession of one, with no pains to be aeyiaed-
except the pain of having empty purse, which the
plaster had failed to remedy-we proceeded to our
dwelling, procured the Galvanic, and presented it to
our FRIEND with the request to acquant us with the
result the next time we met Not having seen him
since, we suppose he was too much eated to wait
an Interview, and sent us the following note We
know not whether we shall be doing right to publish
it, but take the responsibility for the benefit of others
who are suffering from the distressing malady rheu-
matism.
