WHAT DO THE PHYSICIANS,

ty- Listen to the testimony of nm emi-
nent phisician in favor ofNI'Lanc's Vermifuge
which il now universally ackno Welded to bc
the best in use even members Of the medi-
cal faculty (who are SO often opposed to the
use of patent mcdicines,) can not withhold
their approval of this invaluable remedy.
Lind, Stark Co., Ohio, Jan. 8, ls4s,
have used Or. MLane's Worm Specific
in my private practice, am prepared to say
that the unparalleled success with which
have prescribed its use, both for children
and adults, ir.taHsss nc 70 ssy t.ss most IN
its favor of any specific or patent medicine
ever before brought to my notice. The
mode Of administration, tho smalness of
the dose, and the certainty of its efiicacio
effects, give it. in my opinion, decided ad.
vantage over any other medicine Of the kind
before the public.
%- Purchasers will be careful to ask
for DIR. MLANE'S CELEBRATED LIv-
Err PILLS, and take none else. There are
other Pills, purporting to be Liver Pills,
now before the public. Dr. M'Lans's Liver
Pills, also his Celebrated Vermifuge, can
now he had at all respectable Drug Stores
in the United States and Canada.

Our Town Council-The Rail Road-Our
Village, &c.


Mr.. Editor: On the second Monday of
last September, stranger passing through
our Village would have supposed that a con-
test of no ordinary character was going on
and in fact such acas the character of the
election then pending.
1t was thought by some that the former
council were not only too extravagant in
their expenditures, but that they had ex-
pended their money in such improvements
as were not conducive to the general inter-
ests and prosperity of the Town. The con-
sequences was, a ticket was run upon the
express ground that the public money should
be expended upon the public square. That
ticket was elected. Nearly seven months
have elapsed since it went into office: and
now the questions appear neither inappro-
pirate nor personal, (they are certainly not
so meanD viz: have the present council
