THAS. G. REINHARDT's patent glas
~ pad double and single lever truss


- pad double and single lever truss
(patented Sept. "a, 1884, for the support and cure
Of rupture, hernia suitable to all sizes and ages,
for men, women, and children.
This truss has the superiority of any heretofore
in USE first, on account of its durability and clean
illness, the rupture pad Icing of glass, Tin any
shape or form,) the adjustments Of the springs to
suit the action of the body, and calculated to be
fitted to either side. The rupture pad (glass) has
a double motion: first, by revolving on its own
axis; second, by the lever to which it is attached,
ard where said lever is connected to the main
spring. The superiority which this truss has over
Others is obvious this, that it is most eectua in
retaining the parts in their proper place, and ma
king due pressure; it is always clean; its shape
form is durable, which in stuffed pads is not the
case, (as they become saturated with the fluids
from the body) The umbilical truss is unsur-
passed, being so adapted to remain perfectly
secure where applied. s....... ss,
As proof of its efficacy fthe great number that
has been vended, not one of the owners has been
dissatisfied but have spoken in the most commenda.

LATER FROM TExAs.-.No NeUs from The
.4rmy. The New Orleans Tropic and Delta
furnish US with advices from Galveston to the
I'd inst, brought by the arrival of the steamer
Telegraph. The sreamer New York, with the
troops under 1t. McPhail, was met about so
miles from Galveston.
There was no later news from the Army
The Monmouth left Galveston on LIST instant,
for Brazos st. Jago, with a number of volun-
teers-others would soon follow.
The Civilian of the I'd says, we understand
that the U. S. schr. Flirt was endeavoring to
get over the bar into the Brassos Santiago, in
order to cooperate more etfectually in the de-
fence of the depot and position at the mouth
of the river. Capt. Symptom, Of the Alert,
was assisting in the object, having taken off
some of the Flirt's guns, in order to reduce her
draught of water.
Gen. Johnson has Just reached town. He is
soldier in whom our citizens have confidence
as leader, and no doubt can raise company
or two in Galveston. We doubt not a gener-
al and immediate turnout of the hardy
and experienced citizen soldiers Of Western
Texas, to be followed by the whole State, as
rapidly as the occasion which demand their
services shall become known.
Call on alabama for Troops. Lieut. Lovel,
of the U. S. Army, arrived at Mobile on the
18th inst from N. Orleans, with authority from
Gen. Gaines to receive and muster into SER
vice volunteers from Alabama, for the frontier
service The call is for three battalions, of GOO
men each.
Departure of Troops. The Mobile volun-
teers, under command of Gen. Desha, left N
Orleans for the seat war, in the steamer Au-
gusta, which also took out 200 U. s. troops
from Fort Pike.
Enlistment Of Volunteers. The Picayune o.
the 9th inst says: Last evening there were
seven full companies actually mustered into
the service and only waiting to be equipped
and orders to march. Capt. Marks has raised
three full companies and part of fourth. -
Col. Hunt has also raised two companies we be-
lieve, and Col Langdon is filling up his regi
ment, and there are number of other corp:
nearly full. The Delta estimates the number

FLOOD AND Loss OF LIFE. We learn from
reliable source, says the Cincinnati Times,
that the recent rains have caused great rise
of water in Laughery creek, which enters the
Ohio river at Aurora, below Lawrenceburg,
and which in its course devasted considera-
Bile tract of country. One family of seven per-
sons was drowned, and perhaps others. Hou-
ses, fences, stacks, &C., were swept away and
carried into the Ohio.

EXPLOIT OF YoUNG JERSEY OFFICER. A
correspondent of the Newark Advertiser, writ
ing from the "army of occupation" relates the
following exploit of a young son of Gilbert
Dudley, of that city, aged 10 years, and at
tached to the army.
Returning two days ago from one Of our
most advanced pickets, whittier he chad been
sent to convey orders, he came unexpec teddy
upon two Mexican soldiers. who had, appar-
emily, Just rowed across the river, and were re-
freshing themselves in a cool shade, having
placed their nuskets in thoughtless security
against neighboring tree. Gilbert was equal
to the emergency, he sprang to the muskets,
threw one upon the GROUND, and stepped upon
it, while with the other he menaced the lives
of his opponents. They covered beneath his
eagle glance, and reluctantly pursued the
course which he indicated. He carried the two
muskets upon his left shoulder, drew his sword
as a sort of pacicator, and marched them, al
a respectful distance in advance, straight into
camp!
From them some desirable information was
obtained, after which they were led blindfolded
out of camp, set safely in their boat and dis,
missed. When Gilbert was asked how he wa:
able to make such a double prize, he gave the
Paddy's reply, and said, "Faith, surrounded
'em!''
