DIR. 4. G Bragg + Co.-Gents: You
will probably recollect that 1 called into
your establishment some three weeks since
and purchased ffty-eent bottle of your
"MENICAN MUSTANG LINIMENT.''
My object in doing so was to try its merits
upon my daughters arm, who has been suf-
fering from the effect of severe dislocation
of the elbowfor segcral gears past
The excruciating pain consequent upon
false setting of the bone had dwindled and
contracted her arm to q puny size, and
considered it duty devolving upon me to
acquaint the community ofthe beneficial eff
feet your Linimcnt has produced.
Her arm was drawn to right angle, and
was almost inert and useless, until your in
valuable Liniment was applied, since which
time, am happy to state, she has enjoyed
uninterrupted good strength, and can use
her arm nearly as pliantly as before it was
dislocated.
[ would state, however, that prior to try
ing your unequalled Liniment used several
other remedies, but without the least benei-
cial result. D. NJ Z. SMYTII

Others against which our only safeguard is
TO be found in the maintenance of national
and individual integrity, in a judicious econ.
omy, and an unwayering and incorrup,ible
patriotism. The people look to those occu-
pying places of honor and trust for an exem.
plifcation of these traits Of character in
their public and private action, not only as
recognition of their obligations to the peo-

PUMPING OUT BOSTON HARBOR.

Freuuenters OF our wharves are well
aware that class OF vessels often lie nj
Long Wharf, known as fishing smacks.-
These smacks hail in most cases from Cape
Ann, and supply our markets with fresh
fish. Near The centre OF these smacks Is a
fish pit, with sides perfectly water II !hl,
and raising TO The decks, while the bottom,
which is also part OF the bottom OF the
vessel, is perforated with holes. Into these
pits or wells are thrown the fish, and tho
sea furnishes through these holes plenty OF
wafer for the preservation OF the tinny tribes
during their transit from along shore 10 our
market.
1t happened one morning last week that
one Of those smacks was lying near the
Custom House, when two Irishmen came
OH board inquiring for work. They were
told that there was nothing 10 be done on
board, but they still hung around, and al
last discovering the pit, inquired ii they
mi yht pump out the vessel, as they noticed
she leaked badly. The two ,ars aboard,
who were both first class jokers, perceiving
the mistake Of the Hibernians, replied yes,
and asked their prios for pumping the
smack dry. A bargain was struck for q
dollar and hall, a pump was procured,
at work the two men went, one pumping
while the other baled with bucket.
An hour passed on, and still they worked,
occasionally wondering how deep The hole
was, and how much water remained in The
vessel. The two sailors in the meantime
had gone up the wharf as they said OIL bus
mess. The Captain, who was absent a, the
time the bargain was made, came on board,
and finding the men hard at work, with The
perspira,ion pouring down their faces, in.
quired what they were about. Pumping
ou, this ship" was the reply. Pumping
ou, this ship" said the Captain. Yes sir,
and mighty dape one she is, inlirely,"
said one Of The perspiring Emeralders, as
he painted away at the pump handle.-
3" Sure, I'm ihinkin' it'll be night before
We sc, her dhry." "Nighi I" said the
captain, beginning TO roar with laughter rs
he discovered the joke that had been per-
pe,ra,ed during his absence. "Night,
why, you will not get through I'LL you have
pumped out Boston Harbor."
He then explained the matter TO tho la
borers, who resumed their coats, vowing
upon the sailors who had de.
sared" them.-Post.
