"CosrAR's' RAT, Roach, BED Buo, &C., Ex-
rERxiNAroR.-We invite special attention to
s'Costar's" advertisement in another column
These remedies for all domestic pests, such as
Rats, Cock Reaches, Bed Bugs, Ants, Fleas, &C.,
are said to be invaluable: indeed, we can speak
from actual knowledge of their rare merits. The
name Of ''Costar" is household word to New
Workers., and his depot, No. 3SS Broadway is
thronged by thousands daily. As the summer ap-
proaches we advise every one who would be rid
of the above named pesta, to send and procure q
timely supply of the Exterminator. Druggists
and Dealers should also send their orders early,
if they would secure trade in articles for which
there is a constant demand, and on which q fair
profit may be realized.
These remedies, We learn, are being extensively
introduced into West Indies and s. America, az
the United States. Orders large or small, accom-
panied BY the c,sh, will receive prompt attention
if addressed to ''Costar's'' Principal depot, No.

WAY TO GET SEAT.-A few weeks ago an
old gentleman and his lady were coming down
from iowa City to Davenport when the oars were
crowded. A young man got up and gave the old
lady seat, while his companion, another young
gent, remained steadfast, and let the old gentle
man stand. This did not suit our old friend, go he
concluded to get q seat in some way, and, quick a.
thought, turned to the young man on the seat be-
side bis wife, and said, s.Will you be so kind a.
to watch that woman while get a seat in the

young gent. He could not bear the idea of taking

man got . seat, and his wife never was known to
