We shall also in connection with the above
continue the packing business. as heretofore, and
cut all lots offered Of 100 hogs and upwards, and
make cash advances, if desired. This, with the
facilities we have for slaugttering. will enable
persons to drive here with safety, as they can
either sell or pack.
Our prices will be as low as at any similar
establishment on the Mississippi river and the
same as last season, and no extra charge will be
made at any time for advance in salt or barrels:
but our list ofprices will be rgidIy adhered TO-.
Our stock Of Barrels and Salt IS large, and
amply sufficient to meet the demand. We have
also added to the house Steam Boiler and Tubs
for sfeaming out the Lard from the offal, which
Is usually thrown away and is an entire loss to
the owner, but which we shall render for his ben

have no hesitation in saying we are prepared to
do justice to any lots entrusted to US, and that
persons who have hogs will find Bloomington a
good point to drive to for packing or selling

Of five thousand roses filled the Police
Office, as Waterman led up to the bar
short, stout colored man, in the dress Of
porter, who was registered on the docket
by the name of Charles Buck.
Mayor. Where does that strong smell
come from? Has any body broken bot
tie of rose water?
Buck. 1.-THE prisoner.) It's me, mas.

Mayor. You smell like rose water?
Do you think to impose on me that way?

man bought in Second street.
Buck. Yes, and did carry UNI home,

Mayor. What did you do that for?
Buck. was very anxious to try fiz-
zilosiical experiment to see which was de
NOSE powerful, de smell OBJ de rose water
or de smell OBJ de niger. ~
Watchman. He had used up four large
bottles Of cologne water, by sprinkling
himself all over.
Buck. De white peoplei is alwsys COM

ger try to make umself smell better, dey
git mad and want to put I'm in Jail. Mig

pie.
Mayor. This is an extraordinary case.
Thieves are generally said to be in "bad
odur," but here is a thief who smells
sweeter than half dozen of the primest
dandies in ball room. The motive is
some exculpation for the offender; he
wished to make himself more agreeable to
the public, and stole the cologne for that
purpose. The offence cannot be called a
crank one: and if sit smells to heaven %
as Shakespeare says, the SAVIOR will be so
grateful to the recording angel, that it may
induce him to blot out the record. Ii Buck
will ply for the cologne and promise to
retain his natural odor until he car honest
ly acquire better one, he may be dis
charged.
This arrangement was made, the prose-
cutor was satisfied, and the prisoner left
t 9 ofic", aiffusing swee's very unusual in
that atmosphere, as he made his progress
10 the door.

Laugh and Grow Fat-Saoring. My
uncle P--was an awful snorer. He
could be heard further than blacksmiih's
forge; but my aunt became SO accustomed
to it, that it soothed her repcse. They
were very domestic couple, never slept
apart for many years. At length, my
uncle was required to attend court at
some hundred miles distant. The first
hight after his departure, my aunt never
slept wink; she missed the snoring.
The second night passed away in the same
way without sleep. She was getting into
very bad way, and probably would have
died, had it not been for the ingenuity of
servant girl; she took the cofee-mM into
my aunt's chamber, md ground her to sleep
al once!

This IS to certify, that some months since
was taken with pain in my side and breast
called in the aid of several physicians, but
they failed to give me any relief, and for the
dition to this was attacked with violent
cough. Although an excellent physician lived
in the same house, and used the greatest exer-
tion and paid the ST. ictest attention, it bafled
all his skill. Two others were called in, one Of
which was an aged and skillful physician, but
all their efforts proved alike, unavailing. At
last, physician who was attending at camp
meeting in the neighborhood, came to see me,
and declared that could not last more than
day longer; also, all of the vast number who
came to see me, believed that few days, at
most, must end my earthly career. My friend
were now calledin TO see me die! But my brother,
at this crisis. Clearing Of the astonishing cures

used half a bottle the cough was entirely cured.
From this time recovered rapidly and when
had used two bottles, was able TO assume my

cine, would now be in my grave, and must in

Educ Il tom Of the Indians

The results Of the means in operation
for the education of the Indian Tribes
under the guardianship Of the general gov
eminent, are stated i'll the late Report Of
the Secretary or War, as follows:
No subject connected with our Indian
afflirs has So deeply interested the Depart
ment and received SO much anxious Soli-
citude and attention as that ,or education;
and l am happy to be able to say that its
efforts to advance this cause have been
crowned with success. Among most Of
the tribs which have removed to and be-
come settled in the Indian country, the
blessings Of education are beginning to be
appreciated, and they generally manifest
willingness to cooperate with the Gov
ernment in diffnsing these blessings.
Tie schools alre; d established have an in
creased number OF pupils, and preparations
are making for establishing many new
ones. Much credit is due to many excel
lent missionary societies Of different Chris
@tian denominations for their aid and con-
tfibutions to sustain and advance the cause
Of education among the Indian population.
There are sixteen manual-labor schools
and eighty-seyen boarding and district
schools, now in successful operation
among the various Indian tribes, and the
number Of Indian youths attedning them,
according to the reports received at the
Department, is three thousand six hun
dred and eighty-two, Of which two thou
sand six hundred and fifty are males, and
the remaining one thousand and thiIty-two
are females. The schools are generally
in charge Of missionary societies, and are
well conducted. These facts afford the
most gratifying evidence that nearly all of
our colonized tribes are rapidly advancing
in civilization and moral improvement.
