IMPORTANT TO EVERYBODY,

L'OR the last three years, have been engaged
l. in business known only to myself, and COM
parativey, few others, whom haveinstrueted for
the sum Of two hundred dollars each, which has
averaged mo at the rate of two thousand dollars
to three thousand per annum; and having made
arrangements to 60 to Europe in the Spring Of
1855 to engage in the same business, am willing
to give full instructions in the art to any person
in the United States or Canadas, who will remit
me the sum of one dollar.
l am induced, from the success | have been
favored WITH and the many thankful acknowl-
edgments | have received from those whom
have instructed, and who arc making from five to
fifteen dollars per day att, to give any person an
opportunity to engage in the business, which is
easy, pleasant, and very profitable, at small cost
There is positively no humbug in the matter
References of the best class can be given as re-
CARDS its character, and | can refer to persons
whom | have instructed, who will testify that
they are making from five TO fifteen dollarsat the
same. II is business in which either ladies or
gentlemen can ergage and with perfect case make
q handsome income. Several ladies in various
parts of New York State Pennsylvania, and Ma-
ryland whom have instructed, are now making
from three to six dollars per day at it. 1t is q
genteel business, and but few shillings are re-
quired to start it. Upon receipt of ono dollar, |
will immediately send to the applicant printed
circular containing full instructions in the art
which can be perfectly understood at once.

against the British
in India,

BY the arrival Of every steamer
from India, the prospects of the Brit.
ish in that country appear worse and
worse. The N. Y. Evening Post, in
noticing the arrival Of the last steam
er, says:
On the whole, the India news by
the steamer yesterday, is altogether
gloomy. The prospect now is that it
will cost more to recover the revolted
provinces Of Central India than it
cost originally to conquer them that
when reconquered it will take three
times as many men, and three times
as much money to hold them secure
ly; and that when reduced to subju-
gation-an event the occurrence OF
which grows more doubtful every day
they will not be worth one third as
much to the conquerers as they have
been.
The natives of that region willhave
become alienated by this war, which
is conducted without mercy on either
side; seeds of hate will be planted
that will bloom for half century af-
ter peace has been conquered, and no
man can ioresee the time when the
people who have heretofore constituted
more than tiIteen-twentieths Of the
Anglo.lndian army, can again be
confded in or safely employed to any
considerable extent as soldiers in the
Ircvolted districts.
The deep traces Of enmity still re-
naming in the hearts of the Ameri-
can people toward Great Britain, after
more than forty years of unbrOken
peace, and with all the advantages re-
Isultin9 from a similarity Of race and
language, undiSputed social equality,
and vast commercial relations, show
how difficult a thing it is, under the
most favorable circumstances, for
England to get forgiveness from n
people that has onco been driven to
revolt from her rule.

COUNTY TICKET.-The Democrats
Of Jackson county have placed in
nomination the following excellent
ticket, which we hope will be elected 4;
For Clerk, Porter Du Hallway; for
Treasurer, Jacob Wcstfall; for Pro-
bate Judge, John Stevenson; for
Commissioners, Newell Bralcy and
John Sanders.
The nominee for Probate Judge,
john STEVENSON, Esq. we have been
intimately acquainted with ever since
we can remember, and have never
heard his integrity or qualifications
doubted. In Highland county where
he formerly resided, though an un-
yielding, ,uncompromising and radical
Democrat, he was frequently honored
with office in township that gave a
majority oftwo to one against the De.
mocracy, his neighbors" having such
implicit confidence in him as an hon
est, efficient and competent man.
We congratulate the Democracy of
jackson county in securing his nomi-
nation and trust they will elect him.

DIDN'T LIKE TO SwEAR.-The Troy
Budget says that Miss Lizzie Thies,
OF Albany, some weeks since prose-
cutcd wealthy young man for ruin
ing her. Young man put himself
upon the defense, and got out subpG-
mas for some twenty-odd other fast
young men. Young men had NEE,
ting and the case was settled out of
court, by Miss Thies taking $500 they
raised on the occasion. The libcrali-

that they had conscientious scruples'
in relation to the oath.
