HoLLowAY's OINTMENT AND PILLS, AN
EXCELLENT REMEDY FOR OLD WOUNDS,
SORE LEGS, AND SCRoFULA.-Mr. Turner,
of Penshurst, suffered for two years from q
dreadful sore leg, the deceased part extend
ing from the foot to the knee, and causing
severe scorbutic affection, which spread
over the whole surface of the leg. He tried
every available remedy without being able
to heal or even to do the least good what
ever to it. At length he commenced using
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and to tho
astonishment of himselfan others who had
seen the dreadful state of his leg, these fine
medicines effected sound cure in about
five weeks.

Day We learn by the Providence
Tribune, that man by the name of
John Arnold who has been in the em-
ploy of John James, liquor dealer in
West Greenwich, for about fourteen
years, until within short time, was
found dead few days since, sitting up
beside an apple tree, near the barn OF
Mr.. James. He had in his pocket a
bottle which had contained liquor. Mr.
Arnold left Mr.. James house on Satur-
day night, where he obtained quantity
of liquor, and was next found as stated
above.
After receiving the earnings of this
man for about fourteen years, for trihC
above the liquor he drank, Mr.. James
would not allow him decent buria
from his house, and he was carted off BY
two men and buried with no one to droy
a tear upon bis coffin.

erty party candidate for the Presidency,
is spending the autumn and winter in
Philadelphia. Mr.. b. owns a respecta-
BILE property at East Saginaw, Michigan.
The Enterprise of that town says:
Something of the nature of paralytic
stroke has somewhat impeded the use of
his limbs, and renders it difficult for him
to articulate distinctly; yet he walks
erect with dignity, and presents a very
healthy and agreeable appearance. The
profession Of the law, in which he has
stood eminent, he now devotes scarcely
any attention to though it is said that
many Of his ncighbors are occasionally
indebted to him for very valuable legal
advice, for which no charge is made.
Though decided opponent to human
slavery, he Is not the fanatic which
many unacquantcd with him take him
to be. Mr.. Birney's claims to the
Presidency were not considered to be
valid, nor do his views meet with gen.
eral favor; yet he is Il very estimable
man, or his neighbors are egregiously
mistaken.

DD" Counterfeit gold dollars are again
put in circulation. They are dated
1853, and seem to be q perfect fac
simile of the genuine coin, but may be
detected by their very greasy surface.
They are lighter than the real coin, and
have not the ringing sound. If held in
the hand few minutes, the heat will
take off the gilt and leave the coin the
color of the zinc. Counterfeit quarter
dollars, of the date of 1853, are in cir
culation, so admirably done that they
can be detected only by the slight diff
ference in the ringing of the metal.

Gus and Muscular Systems.
The muscular system is under the
control of the nerves and the nerves
are under the control of the mind or
will. And the mind may be controlled
by realities addressed to the senses, or
simply by the workings of the imagiua-
ton. Hence in certain individuals, or
in almost any individual, under certain
circumstances, the Imagination may en-
tirely control the nervous and muscular
system. An illustration of this occurred
in Connecticut, in the vicinity of my
early residence. The instance may be
relied upon since was well acquainted
with the parties, and many could attest
it.
Captain j. A. was largely interested
in fisheries on the coast of Florida,
where he spent his winters, and was ac-
customed to bring home with him, in
the Spring, number of sea-turtle for
the northern market.
His mother-in-law, a widow, had for
many years resided in very secluded
and uninviting spot, amid the woods,
near to pond and very large swamp,
where bull-frogs, snakes and unsightly
swapping turtles were abundant. These
turtles would creep up to, and around,
the lonely widows dwelling, to her great
natural disgust, increased by frequent
losses Of small ducks and chickens, so
that she always regarded them with the
utmost loathing and hatred.
The son-in-law being a little humor-
Gus, would tell her that many esteemed
turtles a great table-delicacy and lux
ury, and that he had often caught and
sold and eaten them. This would draw
forth from the good woman strong ex-
clamations of adherence, and nearly
throw her into convulsions she not
being apprised of the wide difference
between sea-turtles and the black, mis-
chievous serpentlike turtles that haunted
and plundered her humble domain, and
associated with bull-frogs and white
throated black snakes.
; On his return home one Spring, Cap
tain A. brought a number of turtles,
and among the rest one of very fine
E quality specially designed for his own
table. AS was his custom on his return
he made a general dinner for his rela-
tives and friends, and at which his hon.
ored mother-in-law, of course, had a con-
spicious place. For this dinner the
young and tender Florida-turtle was
carefully and secretly prepared under
the name of "yOung pig," always
a rare and admired dish. All were
served with "young pig" and particular
care was taken to serve the mother-in-
law, who relished it so well that she was
gladly and readily served again and
again. The dinner passed off with the
greatest satisfaction. The secret was
: preserved for two or three weeks that
} all might end happily. At the expira-
ton of this time, Captain A., in dear and
simple language, divulged to the good
} mother the true character and qualities
Of her admired dinner-that she had
actually eaten turtle. The old lady
was instantly thrown into convulsions Of
! the stomach, and her vomitings were SC
severe and protracted, that scarcely with
. the most speedy, skillful, and powerful
l medical aid, could her life te preserved

The MONKS REVENGE or, the Secret
Enemy, is the title of an interesting tale
by the talented author of /" "Giaffer al
Barmaki," published by Messrs. Dewitt
& Davenport, 100 and 162 Nassau-st.,
N. Y. The incidents of this romance
belong to an age when men earned re-
nown only on the battle field, and sought
repose only in the lap of beauty. The
Christian and the Pagan hosts are here
brought vividly before the reader, and
their desperate encounters are rendered
more sanguinary and ruthless by the in
huence of fanaticism. 1t is well-writ-
ten book, by a popular author, and lacks
none of the more prominent elements OF
success. 1t furnishes an admirable por-
traiture of the times when religious en-
thusiasm led the whole countries to enlist
under the Banners of the Cross, and
wage extirminating war in the name Of
the Holy Church.
