Galena, Dunleith and Minnesota Packet Com
pany.-Travel and Transportation for 1856.
We take pleasure in calling attention to
the card Of this old and reliable company,
which will be found in our advertising col
ums this morning. They have now all their
arrangements completed, and will at once
commence running nine first-class boats in
this trade-forming two lines per day. The
travelling public and shippers may rely upon
the boats of this line in all the essentials OF
safety accommodation, responsibility, prompt
ness in time and despatch.
In this connection, we would also call at
tention to the advertisement of the Illinois
Central Railroad Company, with the trains
of which these packets connect at Dunleth
and Galena.
If people do not come to Minnesota this
year, it will not be for the want of facilities
of travel, and facilities too not excelled in
any other part of the United States.

REMEDY FOR TooTHAcHE.-Chamber
Journal alludes to discovery by Mr.. Blum
DELL dentist, of London, of a process for ex.
tracing teeth without pain, and to anothe,
process described by DR.. Roberts, before the
Scottish Society of Arts, for cauterizing the
dental nerve, and stopping teeth without
pain, independent of the ordinary mode Of
holding red hot iron before the PATIENTS
face. Mr.. Blundell's process is the applica-
tion of ice to the jaw, which SO deadens the
sensibility that the tooth is extracted with
out pain. The process of Dr. Roberts is to
cauterize by means of a wire applied to the
tooth perfectly cold, and afterwards instan-
taneously heated to the required extent by
a small electric battery. 't7
