The following from the N. American

tribute to this learned gentleman.
Prot Stuart is, by universal consent
entitled to having taken the lead IN bib.

more than to any other man, that the
language and literature of the Old Tes-
lament are now studied among US with
zeal and earnes,ness, aud that all the
mears and appliances OF biological lite
nature, embracing both the examination
OF the Hebrew language itself and the
comparison of it with kindred dialects,
have been brought TO bear upon the illus
tration of the Jewlsh scriptures. His
ardent love of learning, the contagious
enthusiasm of his nature. his eloquence
and his interchangeable industry. have act

Advertising,

The Massachusetts Spy, in calling the at
tention of its readers to the advertisement OF
Mr. George w. Simmons Of Boston, the
proprietor Of Oak Hall, says.
The remarkable success which has ats
tended the operations of this establishment,
is one of the best exemplhcations ofthe
benefits of advertising both to the seller and
buyer, that could be presented. A young
man of enterprise determined to az upon the
go>ahead principle, in few years secures
not only an immense run Of custom, but a
handsome fortune, while others possessing
equal advantages have plodded on their
way during the same time, without any ad>
vance or being Of much benefit, either to
themselves or the community. The differ

years has shown us what will lie found to
be true by any one who will inquire into the
facts, that in certain kinds of business, the
success of different individuals is almost
precisely in the proportion in which they

by DR.. Wells, the original discoverar Of
this wonderful aid in surgery. The tu'

His pulse was regular during the operas

he did not feel the knife at all, eXcep
the first inscision, which he felt slightly
as he W rs not fully under the effects OF
the gas. He also stated after the opera"

the patient in better state. Over ON
hun ired and fifty operations have been per
formed in Hartford with it since its frs dis

the cases are successful than where ether
is used. Indeed a failure is rarely known ;
