BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.


IMPOSITION having been practised upon the
Il public by spurious article bearing the name
of :: Judkins Ointment, the proprietor, c. HERS
TONS, recommends the following communication
Some years back, Nathan Shepherd, informed
the public in the newspapers, that he was the
original dscoverer of Judkin' s Ointment. and had
taken out new patent thereon in his own name,
having in the first instance assigned as reason
for so doing, that many persons would try to
make it, and would not be able, and the Ointment
be propagated in this adulterated state, in some
degree resembling the genuine Ointment" As
complaints have been made repeatedly of this
being the case to the subscriber, who is still le-
gally concerned it is due to the public that they
should be cautioned on this head.

EXPECTED News FROM EuRoPE-THE BAKERS
-PRIcE OF FLoUR-Persons would suppose that
the spectators in -four and other produce, re-
ceived surfeit of news by the steamship Bril-
tannia, which arrived at Boston a few days
since, bringing to them the unpleasant inteli-
gence that, in consequence of the prospect Of
good harvest, the quotations had receded to a
point ruinous to many of them, but excellent for
the unfortunate people of the old world, who
have been suffering from famine for year or
more past Not so, however. They are anxious
ly awaiting the arrival of the American steam
ship Washington, which is twelve days at sea
to-day. They will very soon be gratifed, for
that steamship will, in all probability, make a
short passage.
The news by the expected arrival will be six
days later than that brought by the Britannia. If
the promising weather which prevailed when
the last mentioned vessel sailed, continued to the
time of the sailing of the Washington, the mar
kets, ofcourse, cannot have improved, unless the
potato disease has made its appearance. In the
latter case, the markets may have rallied slightly
but not sufficiently to alter materially the price
ofgrain. The slightest advance, however, would
be welcome intelligence to many in this country
whose solvency may depend on it, When men
gamblei n.breadstuffs, they become desperate, and
will hold en- to what they have, In the hope, no
matter how remote, that matters may assume
shape favorable to their interests. We have
no doubt, that there are hundreds In this
country in this condition, at the present hour,
who will 60 by the board if the Washing
toms news does not cause an advance in the ar
ticles they possess.
Flour has reached point in this market be-
low which it cannot very well go. Five dollars
a barrel is low enough-indeed, we do not wish
to see it lower At that price, the farmer will re-
ceve a remuneration for his toll and labor;
and when the farming interest is prosperlng,
the country at large is prospecting. We
question, however, if it is as low as the
bakers wish it to be. Although it is low enough
to enable them to give their customers much
larger loaves than they do-for a good healthy
boy of five years old can eat three of them for
breakfast-we perceive but a small increase In
their size. indeed, there is not much difference
between their weight now and what it was
when flour was eleven ,llars a barre. These
workers in dough must reform. If they do not,
our housekeepers will get into the habit of
baking their own bread-a habit that will injure
the bakers great deal.
Some people are DESTROYS of having an ordi-
nance passed which would compel bakers to sell
their bread by the pound. Such course would
be ridiculous We have too many laws already.
Let the housekeepers bake their own bread, and
the bakers will soon knock under, and give
them good sized loaf
