A German who resides in Mill Greek town
ship, while recently suffering from q pulmo-
nary attack, sent for q physician who resides
on College Hill. la short time the doctor
called on him, prescribed two bottles OF cod
liver oil, and receiving his fee Of S., swas
told by the German, who disliked the size Of
the bill, that he need not come again. The
German, who, by the BY, had not heard the
Doctors prescription very we'll, supposed he
could get the oil and treat himself. The
doctor saw no more Of his patient for some
time, but one day, Kidding by the residence Of
the German, he was pleased to see him out
in the garden digging Justify. The case ap-
peared such proof of the virtues Of cod
liver oil, that he stopped to make more par
ticular inquiries about il.
''fou seem to be getting very well," said
he to the German.
..Yaw, ish xsll," responded the former
sick man.
'You took as much oil as | told you 2"
| asked the doctor.
"oh yaw, have used more as four gal
Ions of de dog liver OIL"

doctor.

l could catch, aud de dog.liver oil have
cured me. Dat is great medicine, dat dog

The doctor had nothing more to say, but
rode very quickly away, and noted down in
his memorandum book that consumption
might be as readily cured with dog liver AS
cod-liver oil.

Paris, Vcly Pasha, now governor Of one OF
the Turkish provinces, has just institstsd 4
suit against the Independence Beige, for IL
bel, in the publication Of statement which
incriminates that gentleman IN the crime OF
murder. The charge Is, that when vely Pa
cha left Paris, eighteen months ago, he took
with him Paris ioreife, who had been for
some time favorite OF his Turkish High
ncss. Arrived in his new residence, the Pa
risian beauty Was placed In the harcm, and
for while the governor paid little attention
to this part Of his establishment, owing to
the active duties which tho organisation Of
his new government required. But, eli ut
once, he found there was trouble in the ha-
rem, and making observations for few
days, he discovered that his Christian impor-
tation had been teaching European customs
to her sisters in bondage, aud that the sa-
