MIcHIGANDER GETTING THE START OF THE
LONDON MONEY LESDERs.-A good Joke is go.
ing the rounds of the railway circles, saws the
London Free Press, which, bears rather heavily
upon the English board of the Great Western
railway. 1t is said that number of American
railway bonds were recently pu, on the London
market by n gentleman from Michigan, but ow-
ing to the extreme monetary pressure no pur-
chaser could be found. He then offered them
to the Great Western company, who consented
to take them to the amount $50, 900 in exchange
for the Canada and America, STEAMBOATS,
which have already caused loss of goo. 600
A little time was taken for reflection by the
American gentleman, who at last consented to
the bargain on the condition that the boats
should be delivered to him on Lake Erie. Of
course the English board saw no objection to so
simple a condition and tie bargain was placed
in black and white Whenit is recollected that
the Canada and America are very long and
large crafts, and that it is simply impossible to
take the boats through the loc,s on the We'll
land Canal, the absurdity Of the bargain is ap
parent. The ignorance displayed b, the great
English board is somethingakin to tha, shown
by the Amiralty when they sent ont water casks
wherein to stow fresh water for the use of The
vessels employed OH the lakes during the war.

Dowagiac, Mich, March IL, 1856
J. A. RHODES, ESQ. Dear Sir: AS took
your medicine to sell on consignment, no cure
no pay, l take pleasure in stating its effects as
reported to me by three brothers who live in
this place. and their testimony is a fair speci-
men of all have received
| w. S. Conklin told me---'' had taken nine
bottles of Christie's Ague Balsam, and continu-
ally run down while using it until my lungs
| and liver were congestcd to that degree that
| blood discharged from my mouth and bowels
so that all thought it impossible for me to live
| through another chill. The doctors too did all
they could for me- but thought l must die
Nothing did me any good until / got Rhodes
Fever and Ague Cure, which at once relieved
me of the distress and nausea at my stomach
and pain in my head and bowels, and produced
! a permanent cure in short time" Hag
II. NJ Conklin says II had been taking
medicine of as good doctor as we have in our
county, and taken any quantity OF quinine and
specifics without any good result, from 18th
August to 18th December. But seeing how
nicely it operated on my brother, Igot a bottle
of Rhodes Fever and Ague Cure, which cffec-
ted permanent cure by using two-thirds Of a
bottle r t,sr .n-.f
S. NJ. Conklin was not here, but both the
other brothers say his case was the same as FL.
Ms. Isold the medicine to both the same
Gay anu the cure was as speedy rom the same
small quantity, and might so specify.
Yours with respect,
A. HUNTINGTON.
The above speaks for itself. Good proof as
it is, it is of better tenor than the vast num-
Der of like certificates have already published
and the still greater amount that is still pour
ing in to me. One thing more. Last year
had occasion to caution the public in these
words 6 notice one firm who have taken
one of my general circulars, substituted the
name OF their nostrum for my medicine and
then with brazen impotence send their pamph-
let with the exclamation, Let the proprietor
Of any medicine say as much if he dares, &C."
Now take pleasure in saying that the eau
ton referred to the same DR.. Christie Ague
Balsam that is mentioned in the above certifi-
cate. There are several other industrious peo-
pie who are applying to their poisonous trash
all that publish about my Fever and Ague
Cure, or Antidote to Malaria except the certiti-
Gates of cures, and the certificate of the cele
brated chemist, DIR. James r. Chiffon of New
York, in favor of it's perfectly harmless charac-
ter, which is attached to every bottle. These
will always serve to distinguish my medicines
from limitations. JAMES A. RHODES,

New Patent Fence.

THE SUBSCRIBER respectfully announces
i to the citizens of Floyd and the adjoining
Counties that he is prepared to sell rights for
the construction of Fence upon a new and
cheap PLAN This Fence is made of boards
nailed to battens and supported by stakes drove
in the ground cross-wise, with a wire around
the top board and attached to the tops of the
stakes on either side. Fence made upon this
plan will be a saving of from ten to twenty
cents per rod over fence made of boards nailed
to posts set in the ground. The invention was
patented by J. B. Reyman, March 18th, 1856.
Having purchased the right for Floyd, Mitch
ell and Chickasaw Counties, will sell the
right and give instruction for making the
Fence, to individuals for their own use, for
$500; to clubs of ten in one Township for
less. A specimen of the Fence may be seen at
this place-formerly called Cutters Mill.
