\ NEW CouSTEEFEIT.-A new counterfeit
ten dollar bill on the Girard Bank has made
its appearance, which may deceive the unwary.
It is easily detected, however, by its having
on the right hand end of the note group con
sisting of a man and woman in a Iovelike atti-
tude, in place of the medallion head of Ste
phen Girard, which appears on both ends of
the genuine.
CopARrxERsHIP.-It may interest our breth-
rem Of the press to know that DR.. J. c. Aver,
of Lowell, CHERRY Pectoral and Cathartic
Pills.) has associated with him, his brother
Frederick Aver, Esq, long and favorably
known as a leading merchant Of the Vest
Mr.Ayer will conduct the widely extended bu-
siness of the firm, which now reaches to the
commercial nations of both hemispheres while
the Doctor will devote himself 10 the scienti-
fic investigations and pursuits.-Merc. Jour.
C.SSEL CoAL.-In Lesley's Manuel of Coal
and its Topography, it is stated that ''this ar
ticle is carbon. nearly pure from clay and sand;
while black slate is characterized by it excess
of clay. When black slate is charged with
ifOlll cb ~ ~ per CtHl- ct DCutCtcuS
ter, it greatly resembles and has been repeat
edIy presented for true Camel Coal. The un-
common and rare qualities of Camel, togeth-
er with its acknowledged scarcity, has stimu-
lated the monopcliZiDg speculation spirit of
the day to the trial Of its representatives. when
ever they appear, and announcements have
repeatedly been made of the discovery of en-
Il.
ing but beds Of compact black slate.
Apart from chemical analysis, three con-
vcnicnt tests may easily be applied by any
one in doubt the weight of blackslate is plain
Iy greater than that of camel coal; splinter
of it will not light and blaze like one Of can
mel coal, but merely glow in the flame where it
is held and thirlly,a heap of it on the ground
will not make fire unassisted by wood or
coal, whereas a single lump of camel laid up
on embcr will be entirely consumed.
Camel, Glance, Splint, Bony Coal. Black
slate, are but so many gradations in mixed
and ever varying proportionate deposit of car
bon ana sandy clay of an original vegetation. ="
MEDICAL ULTREIsM.-If there were health
in multitude of medical systems as there is
said to be wisdom in multitude of counsel
lors, sickness would be unknown in this age of
so called pathological discoveries. The hon.
eopathsts tell MS that the salvation of our lives
| in sickness depends upon infiuitesimal doses
and infinite dilution; the Undergraduates pro-
| fess to rain health upon US from shower baths,
or soak disease out of us with wet blankets ;
/ while still newer set Of exclusives propose
| burying US up to the armpits in earth-putting
/ both feet in the grave as it were, by way OF
saving our lives Then, We have Sangrados,
who are all for bleeding, blistering, and low
diet; and minerllSts, who believe in nothing
but mercury and its oxides. 1t happens, un-
fortunately, however, for all these theorists
/ that they can show no practical proof of the
assumed infallibility of their methods OF cure.
/ Not so Professor Holloway, who has really in
augurated a new era in the history of the heal
/ ing art, and whose medicines for the last twen-
/ ty years have annually rescued tens of thou
/ sands from impending death. This is no as
sumption, bat fact verified by the unimpea-
chable evidence of a scloud of Witnesses
! The archives of his central offices in London
and New York, contain more than half mil
/ lion of manuscript certificates, authenticated
/ in the strongest manner, and placing beyond
! the possibility of doubt the iufallibiity of his
| Pills and Ointment in nincteen-twentieths OF
the maladies to which man is subject. Great
Britain, the Continent of Europe, India, Chi
/ na, Australia, the United States, the West In
/ dies, British America, every civilized land.
and every country to which the pioneers of
civilization, commercial and religious, have
/ found their way. ring with the fame OF these
all-conquering remedies. There is no written
1 language in which he cannot produce testimo-
niais of their efficacy, no printed one in which
| they are not advertised and recommended -
! Such is the demand for them in all parts of the
world that they may be justly called a great
! commercial staple, and the number of agencies
! for their sale amounts to tens of thousands
| Professor Holloway, whose comprehensive
mind is the motive principle of this immense
/ system of popular dispensaries is now in this
country. His mandatory for the Continent
is at New York, and there is no newspaper in
the Union that has not endorsed his prepara-
tions; no city or town within the same limits
where they are not known and appreciated
| These facts speak for themselves, and clearly
| show, that while so many medical dogmatistS
have been cropping in the dark, he has actually
discovered and applied the true and only
means OF eradicatiDg the primary causes of
disease in the human system.-Ne,c York
