Eyapsvs,,e CommercialCollese.

The following fiattering notice OF benin
Commercial College in this city, is taken
from a late number of the Bloomington Adj
vocate, published at Bloomington in this
State.
We have received the 4th annual catalogue
of this excellent and prosperous Institution.
Prof. Benin, the Principal of this College Is
well known to most bushes men in Indiana
as most competent teacher of practical
Book Keeping. Although his College has
been established but about four years, it j,
one ofthe most fourishing in the State, anc
is constantly gaining popularity. Mr.Behn
does not use text books in teaching his pu
pills, bnt requires them to 60 through tn,
precise operations that would be required II
the most scientific counting house. In afey
months very thorough knowledge can b
gained Of this useful branch of business. w
take great pleasure in recommending thi
institution to the young gentlemen Of GU
| town and county.

sB- Nothing is omitted in nature that can
enhance its beauty; therefore persons who
play the philosopher on the strength of ne
glecting the attire, and who hope that the
world will rate the superiority of their intel

their dress, are not philosophers at all, be-
cause the truly wise man thinks of natur,
through himself. Therefore VIC should M
longer neglect the appearance of the QUITE
man, but repair to Lyons On first street, VIII,

coats at cost, and is making upbeautiful gar
ments to order at extremely low prices.

"Wnr Was PnARoAn's DArourrn LIKE

BRoKER--Because she got little prophet
from the rushes on the banks"
The above is pretty good conundrum,
but it is not as good as the fact that the more
rushes there are upon the banks Of S. Swan
& Cos legalized lotteries at Augusta, Ca,
the more profit accrues to the parties making
the rush. We anticipate for the next draw
ing a rush from all parts of the Union for a
chance Of the profits in the magnificent prize
of 100000. The investment of $40 will en-
title the purchaser to whole ticket; while
or "a will give the holder an opportunity o.
gathering up tie handsome little flreft o.

Why will YOU Delayi-why will you neglect
that disease which is taking such deep root and which
gives you warning by that hacking cough, that you
fast rpening for eternityf Why encourage that
pain in the side, the raising of blood, those night
sweats, or that difficult breathing, which silently
whisper in your that something must be done to
save you from the grave of the consumptive! Why
act so careessy by permitting that disease to destroy
your health, and hasten you to the tomb from whence
notraveler ever yet returned!
SILENCE THAT DREADFUL COUGH!
Or death must carry you to your silent grave. Why
delay while there isyet hope! Consumption is causet
by impure humors Of the blood being deposited In tn,
cells Of the lungs. Hence, the lungs like sprint
of water. when rolled up by the dirt mud, IL clei
water constantly flows through the springs, impuriti
or mud will be conveyed away by the pure water
just with the blood when kept in clean or pun,
state; constantly flows through the lungs, il car
ries away all corrupt matter, and perfect heath will
be the result. From two to three pills taken ever,
night or every other night, or enough to keep tn,
bowels regular, will in reasonable time cure con
sumption. The reason these pills used more thai
all others, is because they made Of a purifying
vegetables, and cleanse the body from all corrupt
ter and drive out disease of every description quicke
and in milder way than any other Pills.

Pork Packing in W uscatine.

We visited the slaugh terins and packing estab-
lishmcnts of S. 0. Butler and Leland Co., yester-
day afternoon, and found the most active opera ions
in progress. The receipts of hogs for the at
the former establishment 10 date alb 'at s, 500 ;
at the latter, $1,000 The total is less than at the
same date last year, but the present season com
m .nced much la:er than last. Before the close Of
operations, the receipts will doubt amount TO as
many if not more than last year. Mr.. Butler in.
forms Us that about 5000 head of hogs on the
way for his establishment from the counties west of
Muscatine. Qnitc number have zen brought to
this market from Mahaska county, and some from
Htnry, which formerly sought the Burlington mar
iet.
Prices range from $3.50 to 81 PER 100 lbs. The
latter price is paid for aoss weighing over 200 lbs
As certain Davenport buyers paying higher pri-
ces on the line of tn railroad with their worthless
shnp!asters, we authorized by Mr.. Butler to say
that the farmers of that reg ion who desire such
money can get it for any price they may themselves
set on their hogs. He asks nobody to take bad
money from him, but if they insist on it, he can
accommodate them. The frmers of Cedar county
who are getting 81 and 81 Is for their hogs in Flor
ence and Burrows & Prettylnans checks at the rail-
road stations IN really obtain S. in Muscaine, if
they prefer that kind Of money.
