BLACK LAMBs.--At the farm Of
Chester Pike, in Cornish, N. H., we
saw, short time since, a curious freak
of nature in the production Of ten
black lambs in a flock Of seventy
Spanish Merinos. The ewes were
descended from sheep imported by
Consul Jarvis, and had never before
produced any black lambs. The
buck had been used in the neighbor-
hood for two or three years, and had
$50 far as Mr.. Pike could ascertain)
begotten no other black lambs.
We were much surprised at this,
and made many inquiries concerning
the circumstances attending the care
and management Of the sheep during
the winter, but could learn nothing
worthy of notice, except that the man
who had charge of the flock during
the fall and winter was constantly fol.
lowed by large, black Newfoundland
dog. It would seem that the color OF
the lambs must be attributed to the
influence of the black dog Yer

4 Beaerolent hlstitution established by special
dOtUnent for the relief of the sick and distresse

Il BenegOlent hstitution established By special sn-
d0Umentto for the relief Of the sick and distressed,
| afflicted Nth ViruLeat and Epidemic Diseases.
| HN0 all persons afflicted with Sexual Diseases
| l. such as Spermatorrhea, Seminal Weakness,
Impotence, GOnorrhea, Gleet, Syphilis, the vice
of 0nanism, Self-Abuse, &c, &c.
The Howard Association, in view Of the awful
destruction of human life, caused by Sexual dis
eases, and the deceptions practced upon the un,.
fortunate victims of such diseases, by Quacks
several years ago directed their Consulting Sur
geon, as a CHARITABLE ACT worthy of their,
name, to open Dispensary for the treatment Of
this class of diseases, in all their forms, and to
give medical ADVICE GRATIS to all who apply
by letter, with description of their condition
age, occupation, habits of life, &C., and in ca
ses of extreme poverty to furnish MEDICINES
FREE OF CHARGE. 1t is needless to add that
the Association commands the highest medical
skill of the age, and will furnish the most appro-
we'd modern treatment.
The Directors on review of the past, feel as
sured that their labors in this sphere of benevo-
lent effort, have been of great benefit to the af-
ficted, especially to the young, and they have
resolved to devote themselves with renewed zeal
to this very important but uch despised cause.
just published by the Association, a Report on
Spermatorrhea, or Seminal Weakness, the vice
Of Onanism, Masturbation or Self Abuse, and
other diseases of the sexual organs, by the con
suiting Surgeon, which will be sent by mail, in q

REWARD OF MERIT.-Some time
ago we noticed the fact that West &
Caldwell, a New York firm who went
under during the crisis and compro-
missed, has since been prosperous and
paid the debts which had been forgiv-
en-. In appreciation OF this act, and
IN recognition of the moral principles
involved, the creditors have caused tc
lbe prepared a service Of silver, Of
which the intrinsic value is $4,000,
to be presented to the honest firm.
