hailed.
To cure diseases of the Nerves, Muscles and
Joints, Olive Tar is applied.
Olive Tar mixed with Mutton Tallow forms
an Ointment which speedily and radically,
cures every disease of the skin.

the atmosphere of the apartment becomes i'm
pregnated with the delightful blended ayomsa
| of the Olive, and the Pine, curing diseases, =,
and preventing Contagion or Imperfection.
Olive Tar can be applied to the most feeble
person, or to the tenderest infant without dsn~
| ger. .sss5,-s
The Magical Curative Powers o: Olive Tar
| is due to Electricity.
The electrical effect of the Olive Tar is to ex-
pei disease. and to drive it in; TO relieve in alN
cases, and to cure all that is not beyond hope.
Pain cannot exist where Olive Tar, or Olive
Tar Ointment are applied.
Olive Tar does not irritate or discelor the
skin.
Olive Tar does not contain mineral, nor a
vegetable poison.
The principal ingredients in Olive Tar are
extracted from Pitch Pine Tar, and Olive Oil.
Olive Tar is an oily fluid, but slightly vo-
latile.
The Odor of Olive Tar is Ozone, electrified
OXYGEN the most perfect disinfectant known
/ Olive Tar is Aromatic, combining the agree
able odors of the Olive and Pine.

doubt that an anti-administration Governor
will be readily elected by the Lcgislhiure.-

The most noticeable fruit of this victory

Norris Of New Hampshire, were the only
two Senators from New England who voted
in favor Of the Kansas-Ncbraska bill. The
latter is in his grave, and his scat is filled by
one Of the most Incorporating opponents
of Slavery extension in the Union. The for

in the Scuate, ut the time Of giving his vote,
that che should not obey the instructions OF

slave power is matter Of general rejoicing
among all lovers Of constitutional freedom.

THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION. The Wash
ingion correspondent of The New York Com
nercial Advertiser writes:-
"A nice quarrel has sprung up between the
parIiaans of Mr. Pierce and Mr. Douglas on one
side, and the friends of Mr. Buchanan on The 9th
er. The Union assumes that the Nebraska act
is The prominent issue of the coming Presiden-
tal contest and that upon il the Democratic can
didate must stand or fall. Therefore, Mr. Bueh-
anan's Pennsylvania friends must not suppose
that he can be nominated while his opinions on
this subject are masked behind three years,
absence abroad. In fact, it has been rePoled
here that Mr. Buchanan, in his letters TO private
friends, strongly deprecated the re-agiiaiion Of
the slavery question, by the repeal of the Mis-
souri, compromise. The avowal of such an O.
plnion, unless soon and explicitly retraeted, will
deprive Mr. Buchanan Of his chance of nomn-
alton by a two-thirds vote, upon which the
South will insist as their protection from The
superior numbers Of the North"

times happened, the trains failed to connect. was
watched. On Wednesday the trains again fail

as had happened when the other robberies were
committed. This afforded the desired oppor-

lvoRY.-Few Of our lady readers, while

are wont to cast thought towards the manner
IN which this material is procured, the quanti-
ies OF II which are annually used, and the
number Of noble animals which are yearly slain
for the purpose Of supplying the constantly in
creasing demand. Mr. Dalton, celebrated
Sheffield manufacturer. estimate that the annii-
al consumption of ivory in the town of Sheffield
alone is about $50 ions. equal in value 10 f30,-
900, and requiring the labors Of 500 persons to
work il up for trade. The number Of tusks to
make up this amount Of ivory is Al, 900; and
according 10 this the number Of elephants
slaughtered every year for the supply Of the
Sheffield market is 90 500. But surprising
some tusks TO be cast, aud some animals TO have
died natural death, il may failly be estimated
that $1,000 are killed foe the purpose.
