"A PAIN KILLER.

Physicians say that Davis Pain Killer is one &C
those nice little articles which is calculated to
lieve an immense amount of suffering incident to
human life. Its action on the system is many
times like magic-so instantaneous-the pain is
gone at once.
For the almost miraculous extinction of pain,
no medicine was ever discovered equal to the Pain
Killer. 1t is used in certain cases externally and
internally, but never eternally, like too many prep
arations. Full directions accompany each bottle.
Perry Davis Pain Killer almost Immediately
cures the following complaints, viz: Chill and
Fever, Cholera, Cholera Morbus, DiarrhGa severe
Burns, Dyspepsia, Painters Cholic Piles. Bos,
general Debility, Coughs, Headache, sudden Colds,
swelled Joints, Cramps and Spasms, Rheumatism,
Pains in the Back and Side and various other
complaints, in fact it is PAIN KILLER!

SCARCITY OF SILvER.-Thongh the
new silver coin has got into circula-
ton, silver change continues scarce.
The reason is doubtless that the old
coin which now commando a large
premium, is withdrawn from circula.
ton faster than the new coin is FINN
ished by the mint. This seems to be
the cause all over the country, The
New York Express says, in relation
to it:
Small silver change is nearly as
scarce as it was before the new silver
coinage law went into operation. The
new coin bears premium of 2 to d
per cent. The mint. with a large
amount of silver coin, makes but feeble
exertions to supply this necessary want

j DUTfEs ON SUGAR.-Ihe sugar
planters of Louisiana have held con-
vention at Donaldsonville for the pur-
pose Of "aiding the Government in
the execution of the revenue laws"
1t seems that an extensive sugar
refinery in the city Of St. Louis, to
avoid the loss from leakage and fern
entation of molasses imported by them
have reduced the weight ard dimin-
ished the tendency to waste by pre-
pairing the molasses before Shipment
The article has then been invoiced as
"Melado," Concentrated Syrup" &c.
The duty upon these articles being
much less than that upon raw sugars,
has occasioned a strict application Of
the law by the custom house officers Of
New Orleans. The planters Of Louis
lana have taken deep interest in the
introduction Of preparation of sugar
which, protanto, superceeds their own
productions, and neutralizes the pro-
tectiem afforded by the tariff Of 1846.
The custom house officers alleged that
the concentrated syrups, &C., had been
UNDERMINED in the invoice; they ap-
prised them again, and required the
importers to pay on the excess Of val
uation, and apenal duty Of twenty
per cent. to the collector.
This decision was affirmed by merchant
appraisers; FROM this decision the i'm
porters appealed, and the matter lis
pending before the Secretary of the
/, Treasury The planters of Louisiana
have, as above, offered their services
to aid in the enforcement of the reve-
nue. laws "as they understand them
delta.

THn fT1NERANT TEMPERANCE LECTURER.
Id making honorable mention If the
Saints and Martyrs, in the cause Of
disinterested philahthrophy, we should
not fail to place first on the list, the
Ltimsyant Temperance Lecturer
If there be any one branch Of the
"great band" that deserves the un-
qualified appreciation Of mankind at
large, it is the Itinerant Lecturer.
Does he not sacrifice his time and
bic money, and tax his mind with
anecdotes and telling illustrations,
that carry conviction home to the soul :
Is he not frowned at, by the rum
seller" jostled by the wine merchant,
and his very life itself, sought after by
the coffee-house keeper? And is not
there guardian angel lowering con-
tinually over his head, protecting it
from evil? OF course there is. But
to make security double sure, he has
a carte blanche, from one Of the thou
sand and one Induction Union
Mutual-relief, Moral-Reform, wheel
within a wheel Temperance societies,
and if crowd cannot be raised by a
few placards, and the ringing of bell,
why the aid of the denominations" is
called in, and revival is had.
The motives Of the Itinerant Lee
turer should never be called in ques-
ton; the purity of his own life, and
his tea-totle temperance habits are, or
should be, sufficient guarantee to the
community that he is trarscendtally
sincere. The prying eye Of the en-
quirer, should never demand to look
into the green room adjacent to the
stage whereon he performs. It is
sufficient for the spectators Of the farce
to look on admiringly, and crown his
efforts with the 'grinnings" ofappro,

wOn Thursday evening last at
S o'clock Mr. James Thompson, well
known in the East end of this Parish,
was found dead on the plantation of
George Norton. The Coroner was
sent for and went out. On going to
press yesterday evening, be had not re-
turned, and we are unable to give the
virdict Of the jury. We learn that
Thompson was subject to Epileptic
fits, and the presumption is that he
came to his death whilst in q fit of Ep.
ilepsy.
