L Us, or indicated Compound, for

skin, curing rheumatic pains and healing external
wounds. Bounded by no geographical lines, the
reputation of Barry's Tricopherous pervades the
Union TIE safes fthe article of late years have
increased in a ratio that almost exceeds belief.
Professor Barry, after careful examination of his
sales-b book, finds that the number of bottles de
lyered to order, in quantities of from half gross
upward, during the year 1852, was within tribe
of $50 900.
It is unnecessary to present at length the evil
dences of the wonderful properties OF the Trico-
pberous when the public have furnished such an
endorsement as this The cheapness of the article,
and the explanations given of its chemical action
upon the hair, the scalp, and in all cases OF
superficial irritation, fret recommended 1t to
the attention of the people. This was all that
the inventor desired. Every bottle advertised
itself. The effects of the fluid exceeded expec.

PERCUSSION LocKs-An order will be issued
by the commander-in-chief of New York, and
perhaps by the commanders-in-chief of other
States, that all muskets belonging to the State,
issued to State troops, shall be returned to the ar
senals, and pieces with the percussion locks given
in exchange. This will be very judcious mea-
sure. We do not know whether or not all the
flint locks have been taken from the ranks of the
army, and percussion locks substituted, but this
will be done as fast as the former can be convert
ed into the latter. 1t is of the first Importance
that the army and militia of the United States
should use the same weapons in their respective

Discovery OF A RAPHAEL.--A per-
son at Nismes, France. had for a long
time in his possession a drawing in
red chalk, to which he attached so
little value that it was thrown aside
among some waste paper. An anna
teur having recently seen it, purchas-
ed it from him for two francs. The
purchaser having brought it to Paris,
showed il to some artists, who told
him it was an admirable sketch, and
he accordingly presented it to the Dr.
rector of the Musees Soon after his
return to Nismes he received a letter
of thanks Dom an inspector OF the
Beaux Arts, in which it was stated
that, after minute investigation, the
drawing was found to be the portrait
Of La Fornarina, by Raphael, and
was estimated as being worth, at the
lowest, 10000 francs.

"TO secure a proper moral training
the Chatecism of the Presbyterian
church is used in the school"
There is a great struggle going on,
all over the couhtry-from Louisiana
to Maine, the true object and intent of
which is neither christian, or credit
able. The palpable design sto grasp
at power and strength, and wealth
which must necessarily flow from it
To accomplish the object, each sect of
tue thousand and one denominations
are wrapgling about the proper sys-
tenn Of education," and each one pro-
tests that the only true and safe sys-
tenn is their own, and the only correct
cha.echism is the one they have had
printed for themselves at their own
expense--all others are inventions Of
The devil, and persons who study them
must inevitably be damned without
appraisment.
This is very funny doctrin to

history; and we would say nothing
about it, did we not find it gaining a
respectable position with weakminded
men and strong minded women. To
carry on the matter more successfully
there are book concerns and Ger
man Pedlers travelling hither, and
thither distributing new editions of
the Scriptures, with new notes and
lamentations and new commentaries,
and the venerable old book has been
so altered, amended, and "dmprored'
that the original can scarcely be re-
cognized.
