WoOD S.WISG AM THE FrFrTIo~

n.
Previous to the election Alderman
Greenbaum, of the 9th ward. entered
into written agreement with G. Lev
erenz that if he (the Alderman should
be defeated for reelection, he would
saw one quarter of a cord of wood in
the Court House Square, on Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock. If elected. Mr..
Leverenz was to saw the wood. The
wood to be furnished by Aid. Wahl,
and to be placed on the saw buck by
Henry Wendt, candidate for Alderman
in the It'll ward, and piled, after being
sawed, by Alderman Schmidt, of the
10th ward; Scheffer & Brothers, Lake
street, to furnish the saw, and Francis
4. Hoffman to grease it.
Promptly to agreement the parties
met at the Court House square this
morning.
Unger's Band struck up lively air
as the parties assembled the steps of the
Court House, at the topmost one of
which the saw and buck were placed.
Mr.. Greenbaun was dressed in a
loose flannel shirt, cap, gloves, &c. Mr.
Hoffman took his place, to his right,
with a goodly sized piece of pork to ad-
munster JUNCTION to the saw, and the
other parties stood in front to hand the
wood.
All things being in readiness, the first
stick was placed, and after the saw
was well creased by Mr.. Hoffman. the
work commenced, Greenbaum strickino
up with the song Of 'EEEail to Germany. y
which was joined in by the crowd, al
ready numbering several thousands
Another stick was sawed to the tune of
''Hail Columbian by the band, another
to "1ankee Doodle" &C., &c.
The utmost good nature was mani
tested by the immense throng, and as
the sticks were held up, after being
sawed, repeated cheers were given for
Greenbaum, Van Horn and others.
After saving some dozen sticks, to
the manifest qualification of the parties
to the agreement and the assembled
crowd, the balance of the saving was
unanimously agreed to be dispensed
with, and Mr.. Greenbaum left the
ground with the saw on his shoulder,
escorted into Randolph street by the
band and large procession Of those
who had witnessed the fulfllment of
his agreement
On regaining the street, he was
mounted on the shoulders of two of his
friends, and borne to his banking office,
where he made a speech to the crowd,
and they quietly dispersed
We understand 4 similar agreement
was made by Mr.. Weihe, the defeated
candidate for City Attorney, with Mr..
/ Lochbiler, to saw halfa cord at 2 o'clock
this afternoon, at the same place.-Chi-

''ls IT a BENEFIT TO ADVERTISER =
Under this heading, the News Letter
for January says that 'there are those
in the world who can never be persua-
dcd to advertise their business, even to
the smallest. amount-such men seldom
get rich. One of the great secrets of
success with the millionaires of the East.
was the liberality with which they were
accustomed to place themselves and
their business before those to whom
they looked for support. In mercantile
affairs, this same course cannot fail to
work wonders. True, the man who
amasses wealth by the sudden rise of
real estate might not have become rich
er by any system Of advertising. His
wealth comes without any effort on his
part, and, indeed, he can hardly be
poorer if he would. But how with the
dealers in groceries, hats and caps, and
every description Of dry goods, hard
ware, Sc. can they become rich with
out an effort? Oh. say they, ssif I 90

CURE For CANcERs.-H QUAINT to be
Universally H7ao2cp.-Our attention
has been recently called to a cure for
cancers, which is of so much in1por-
lance, that we wish to make it known
as widely as possible. Some eight
months ago Mr.. T. B. Mason-who
keeps q music store on Wisconsin
street and is a brother of the we'll known
Lowell Mason-ascertained that he had
q cancer on his face, of the size ola pea.
It was cut out by DR.. Woolcott and the
wound partially healed Subsequently
it grew again, and while he was in Gin
clnnati on business it attained the size
OF q hickory nut. He has remained
there since Christmas under treatment
and has come back perfectly cured
The process was this:
A piece of sticking plaster was put
over the cancer, with circular piece cut
out Of the center little larger than the
cancer, so that the cancer and a small
circular rim Of healthy skin next to it
was exposed. Then a plaster made of
cloride of zinc, bloolroot and wheat
-four was spread on lioce Of muslin
Of the size Of this circular opening, and
applied to the cancer for 24 hours
On removing it the cancer will be burnt
out, and appear Of the color and hard
ness Of an old shoe sole, and the circu-
lar rim outside OF it will appear white
and parboilcd, as if scalded by white
steam The wound is now dressed,
and the outside rim soon separates
and the cancer comes out a hard lump,
and the place heals up. The plaster
kills the cancer so that sloughs out like
dead flesh, and never grows again.
This remedy was discovered by DR.. Fell
Of London, and has been used by him
for six Or eight years, with unfailing
success, and not a case has been known
Of the re-appearance Of the cancer,
where this remedy has been applied
It has the sanction Of the most eminent
physicians and surgeons in London,
but has not till recently, been used in
this country, and many of the faculty,
with their proyerbial opposition to limo
yations, look upon it with distrust.-
