SMALL NOTE LAw.-The Norfolk Ar
gus apprehends no difficulty in enforcing,
after the first of June, the law against the
circulation of small notes in Virginia, and
adds:
Every facility will be afforded at the
treasury of the United States for the cir
cu!ation of change, and for the purpose of
carrying out the object Of the legislature.
We understand that on Saturday ten
thousand dollars, on application ofthe.col-
lector. was received at the custom-h house
of this port, from the United States mint
at Philadelphia, in silver coin in the de-
nomination of quarters and halves, to be
disposed for general use to all those who
are ready to give gold in exchange for it.
We further learn that a constant supply
will be kept on hand, which, in connection
with the one dollar gold pieces and the
quarter eagle, and the three dollar coin
age, which is now being struck off at the
mint, will leave no excuse or pretext for
the violation of this salutary law.
This is a measure peculiarly intended
for the protection of the interests of the
working classes-the people-and we
trust that they, at least, will pertenacious-
ly insist on its faithful and rigid enforce
ment."

DR ALSOPIERT begs leave to call the attcn-
- ton fthose suffering from total or partial
loss ofthe hearing to the following facts He treats
diseases ofthc middle or internal Ear with,
INDICATED DoUCnEs.
Such rs is practised in the Infirmaries of Berlin,
Lcipsic, Brussels, Hamburg, St. Petersburg. and
lately by the most distinguished London Aurists,
with the most wonderful! success indeed, it is
the only method that has been uniformly sue
cessful. The best proof of the efficacy of the treat
ment will be reference to nearly
NINE HUNDRED NAMES,
Residents of the United States, Canada, New
Brunswick, and Nova Scotia who have been re-
stored to Acute Hearing. and not q single solitary
case to our knowledge did VIC fail to effect either
partial total restoration of the Hearing,
when our advice and instructions were faithfully
and punctually adhered to. Many who could
not hear the report of pistol at arms length can
now hear watch beat Mt the distance of four feet.
In cHses ofmucus accumulation in the Eustach
ian Tube and TymPanum, inflammation of the
Mucus Membrane, Nervous Affection, Diseases of
the Membrane IympOnl, commonly called the
Drum, or when the disease be traced to
the effects of Fever, Colds, the use of Quinne,
hircuial Med icines, gathering in the Ears in
childhood, &C., DIR. Alsophert's treatment
ands prominent. Where the Auditory Canal is
dry and scaly, with little or no secret ion. Where
deafness is accompanied with noises i'll the Ear,
like falling water, ringing of bells, chipping of
insects, rustiing of leaves, continual pulsa-
5Ons, discharge of matter, whenin 500
ping, II sensation is felt, if rush Of
blood to the head took place, when the hearing is
has been taken, this method of treating the dis
ease is infaliblc.
in DEAF AND DUMB CASES
my experience warrants me in saying that if the
hearing was at any time good, very much can
be accomplished. In the Denf and Dumb School
ut Lcipsic, out of class of Fourteen, l succeed
ed in restoring Four to acute hearing. DIR. A
bcgs respectfully to state, that in those cases he
undertakes, he guarantees successful result
complete restoration, or such II marked improve
ment will be perfectly satisfactory, if his re-
NEEDLES are faithfully applied and directions adj
hercd to.
Applicants will please state their age, duration
of disease, if matter issues from the external
passage, if there arc noises in the Ears, state of
general health, and what they suppose to have
been the cause of the deafness. When the
hearing is restored, it is expected that those in
easy circumstances will pay literally.
