Mr.. HARRISON BARNES, of Howard county, has
been severely afflicted with Rheumatism, for some
five or six years past. He had been confined to
his bed for several months previous 70 the time
he began to use this Medicine. He had heen
under the care of some three or four different
Physicians, who all despaired of his ever getting
up. He began to use the En,br0cation, and con-
tinued its use for one week, when he was able
TO get up, and in ten days was sufficiently recoy-
cred to attend to the business of his farm.
Mr.. II. w. KRING, and CHAs. OWENS, of Fay
cite, and all his neighbors. will bear witness to
the truth of the above statement.

New HEALTH OFFICKR.-In the vacancy
made by the resignation OF the Health Officer,
the Board Of Health have appointed DIR. Childs,
of this city, to supply the vacant place. DR..
Childs is highly respectable physician, and will
make valuable officer at Quarantine. We un-
derstand, however, that the Governor recently
sent in the name of DR.. Whiting, young physi-
clan, for this office, and that the Legislature
have not yet acted upon the nomination. The
probability is, now, that it will lay over alto
gether.
The following is brief article on this subject,
from the Sunday Alias
HEALTH OFFICER DIR. Chids, surgeon Of the Belle
Hospital yesterday appointed health oacsr Of

pswer to fill this vacancy under the law of lsA6 Gov.
Young has nominated to the Senate to DR..
Van but that body has not yet acted upon
IT, and vesssls would be unreasonaby detained at

of Health We learn that Dr. Chds proceeds to Staten

MAsQuERApEs-Some OF the ill-informed news.
papers assert that masquerade is in preparation
to be brought out at the Astor Place Opera
House.
We doubt this very much. Masquerades are
illegal in this State and those who get them up;
are subject to fine of one thousand dollars for
each offence Fifteen or twenty years ago, a
mania for masquerading broke out in New York,
sld they were given in every public house in
the city, down to the lowest grog shop on the
Five Poin The Legislature took the matter
10 hand, and passed law prohibiting them for
ever in New York No public place of amuse-
ment can legally bring forth masquerade. Pri-
vate masquerades, however, are legal, and may
be got up in private houses; and the only way in
which one could be produced at the Astor Place
Ooera, would be in the nature OF private mas
querade. The subscribers to the opera might
get up masquerade among themselves, and in
vite their particular friends to it, and, in this
way, they might evade the law, and amuse
themselves, by making it private affair through
out. In no other way could a masquerade be
brought out at the Astor Place Opera House.
