 Reversed. Opinion by Oldham, J.
 The l40th section of chapter ii6 Rev. Stat, authorizing he Clerks of the Cirrnis Courts to enter judgments by confession in vacation, contravenes no provision of the constitution. The entering of judgment by confession, by the Clerk, is a ministerial act, rot the exercise of judicial power, and such judgmen. is binding upon the par,ies.--- A sale Of real estate, therefore, by virtue of an execution, under such judgment, passes the title of the defendant to the purchaser.

VEEMIFUGE:

A Remedy unsurpassed for Erpellng Worms
JFarralted TO contain nothing Of poison
Gus character, but to be simple IN its ac-
ton and safe in its application.
1T is not the desire or intention of the under
H. signed TO give the above remedy the ordna-
ry putting which generally attends the adver-
tisement of Quack .Medicnes---we do not re-
commend our Remedy for any thing else than
the destruction ofWorms from the animal sys-
tem-for this purpose, we regard ii as specific.
We have seen the action of most of the SIM
pie remedies found in the Materia Medica, as
well as great many of the Compounds offer
ed TO the public as Vermif1ges, but we feel con-
fident no remedy can be found in the whole
list Of Remedies that combines as much safety,
and acts as efiectually as the one we offer.
Daily demonstrations prove it to be no ordi
nary Remedy-and we might produce certih-
Gates from our most respectable citizens IN ia
vor OF its eflects--but our object is not to get
the certificates of those who have tried If, but
il is TO get others in want of such remedy to
TRY IT themselves, and we have no fears
as TO the result

good story is going the rounds OF '.Bil

and always had good excuse ready for his
wife, when kept out late o'nlghts. On one
occasion Bill got rather more'n he could stand
up under. Conscious Of his sitewation he
was thinkn' how TO manage, and at length
came to tie conclusion 10 drink copious
draught Of milk before retiring. Arrived at
home, Bill staggered to tae pantry bat could
find no milk. lie called TO Susan, who told
him it was there. Bill couldn't find it, and
called again, and was again told where TO get
it.--BIll couldn't find ii, and in a mint more
was at the bed room agn.

Susan snulfled snore short off in the mid

short moulhfuls Of pretty loud italic.
That sort Of skeered Bill, and put him oil

"Well, Susan" ses he, "is ii tied up Il, any

That was enough--the cat was out Of the

bright awake in a mint, and the way Bill

10 sober the drunkenest husband in creation
He never got corned agin-and it was more'n
a year after fore he could drink milk in his
