A GOOD COMPARISON.

The Rev William Roulatt, q well known Methodist
clergyman residing at Naples, draws the following
amusing but apt comparison between DR.. MLanes
celebrated Vcrmfuss, prepared by Fleming Bros, Of
Pittsburgh, Pa, and ferret:
a ferret when placed at the entrance Of rat-hoay
enters the aperture travels along the passage seizcs
upon the rat csterminues his existence, and draws;
the animals dcfunct carcass to the light And in like
manner have found Dr.. .WLanes american Iermi-
ynyc to operate upon WORMS, those dreadful and dan
gerols ormcntors Of children This remedy, like the
ferret enters the aperture of the mouth travels down
the gullc hunts round the stomach, lnys hold Of the
worms shakes the life out Of the reptiles sweeps clean
their cn, and carries their carcasses ccar ont of the
SYSTEM This, at least has been the effect of the Yer
miluge upon my children"
A ncighbor of Mr.. Houlatt, Mr.. John Briggs, adopts
tic smile of the reverend certifcr thus both giving
their uncquivoeal approval of this great specific
after having witnessed its operation upon their own
children Let others try it, and be satifcd.

large and cstimable family.
The habits of life of this venerable old citizen were
we'll known to the writer of this brief tribute. Ho
as uniformly temperate in all things Fer fifty years
lie was scrupuously exact in the discharge or his
Christian duties. During nearly all Of that time he
was one of the chief pillars Of the old Red Bank
Church in this District; and most truly may it be
said of him. that he adorned his walk by holy mo
and gody conversation. In his intercourse with
men lie was an example Of moderation and kindness,
slow to anger full of bencvoence, and ever ready to
forgive offences as he hoped TO be forgiven Of Heaven
But the good Christian is gone to his reward ut the
right hand of Jesus Yet long will his virtues remain
behind on earth as landmarks to guide the younger
members of his Church and community on the true
road to God and His eternal glory.

We received yesterday the following commu,
nication from DR.. j. w. Stokes, the President OF
the Bank Of Hamburg:
M Editor: My attention has been called to
an article in your paper of the End inst, in
which you state that the banks of Augusta have
refused to receive the bills Of the Bank of HAM
burg, South Carolina.
Iou will please do me the justice to iasert al
extract of q letter addressed through their See.
retary to the Presidents Of the Augusta banks
on the 9th ultimo:
I" / propose to redeem the circulation of this
bank, held by the Augusta banks, weekly, by
sight exchange on Charleston at par; and when
have no exchange, to pay interest at the rate
Of seven per cent. per annunl, reciprocally, with
the city banks, until l am in funds to check"
This reasonable proposition, in my Judgment,
they unanimously rejected, demanding OF me
Internationally, seven per cent. interest Oh bal
ances, and in consequence OF my refusal to come
to their terms, they now attempt to discredit the
bills of the Bank of Hamburg.
A discerning public will do us justice.
