Caufion-Re ON Your Gn

CautiOM-Be on Your Guard.
The surprising excellence and growing popu-
larity of the American Oil, has induced some
dishonest persons to palm upon the pu bic, mis-
cradle limitations Of this truly valuable medicine,
for the purpose of deceiving the un wary, and &c.
frauding the Proprietor.
In order to be sure Of obtaining the genuine,
obserUe the following FOUR THINGS;
lst. See that the name "Wm. Jackson, 80
Liberty St., head Of Wood ST." is printed on
the label of the wrapper of each bottle, to imi-
tate whicl is felony.
ed. That each bottle is incloscd in pamph-
let containing full directions for use; and also
containing the name and address of VIM Jack
son, General Agent for the proprletors, D. Hail
& Co. Kentucky.
Sd, Purchase ONLY of The advertised Agents,
all of whom have show BILL on which is print
ed 1.-The names Of the Ptoprietors. Kentucky.
VIM. Jackson. Pittsburgh. Pa. General Agent
for Western Pennsylvania, ,and part of Ohio and
Westerh Virginia; and the printers names
M'Milin & Shryock, Pittsburgh-printed at
the bottom of said show bill.
4th, Observe-the genuine Americon Gil is of
dark green color, without any sediment, and
its specific gravity lighter than water. The
counterfoits mostly of black color;-some
Seneca Oil-others mixture of other common
oils; and one purporting to come from the Pitts
burgh and Allegheny Dlspensary Co" Of vari-
GUS colors, some close imitation of the Genu.
inc. None of these counterfets possess either
the virtue or the power ofthe true AmerieanO OIL.

the combination of the shoulderbrace with
the spinal and abdominal supports, thus ad-
mirably adapting the instrument to those

SENSIBLE CoNcLUsIoN.-The Editor of
the Green Bay Advocate gives the follow
ing cold consolation TO the ladies:
MARRIAGES will be fewer the coming
year than they have been for years back.
A large share of the young, marriageable
men are, or soon will be, off for California,
and the discovery OF the gold mines will
work the ruin Of more girls prospects than
than it will the fortune of the boys.

Double Gold Eagles. &c.

The correspondent Of the Philadelphia a
Ledger says, "The Finance Committee Of
the U. S. Senate came to The conclusion
to recommend the coinage of gold eagles,
and Of double gold eagles, ($2O pieces;)
as also the coinage Of silver two and half
cent pieces, together with pennies, (cents
OF a mixture OF silver and copper, } which
will have the effect of essentially reducing
the present clumsy size of our copper coin.
Out of respect for the distinguished Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, no bill was drawn,
but the same entrusted to Mr.. Walker, who
will, no doubt, do the subject ample JUS
tice. The bill provinding for the coinage
of this new coin will also contain provis.

running gold bars Of 800, 5000 or $500
in value, and providing them with stamp
of the United States, which will make
them legal tender. When the Bank Of
England, after The war with France, re-
sumed specie payments, it was found i'm

in regard to the gold diggers in California
is somewhat similar. No mint could pre-

the demand upon it in that quarter, and for

% The Hon. Horace Mann, in allud-
ing to lily ventilated school houses, says:
"To put children on short allowance of
