DR.. M'LANE'S
CELEBRATED
VERMIFUGE
LIVER PILLS.

WE beg leave to call the atten-
w ton of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu-
lar remedies now before the public
We refer to
Dr. Chax M'Lane's Celebrated
|Vermiluge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz:
THE VERMIFUGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. 1t has also been
administered with the most salts
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all Bilious DERANcEMENTs, SICK
HEAD-AcHE, &c. In cases Of
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparatory to or after taking Qui-
nine, they almost invariably make
speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men,
toned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad-
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
P1TrsBuRcn, Pa.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de-
termined that DR.. M'Lane's Cele-
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and Purest material, and COM
pound them in the most thorough
manner. Address all orders to

c. The Council Bluffs Guards were out
on parade yesterday. They looked as gal
liant as ever, though the 'yellow fever' has
somewhat thinned their ranks. They gave a
Ball at Concert Hall, last evening, for the
benefit of the poor. We were there, but have
not time to particularize-su it, that there
was respectable attendance, and that all
seemed to enjoy themselves pretty much after
the old sort. Tn" bold soldier boys" long

OLIVER SMITHS WILL.-Many years ago,
Oliver Smith, an old bachelor, who resided
in one of the towns in Hampshire county,
Mass, left the bulk of his property TO be
managed by trustees until il should amount
to 100000, when one-half of the income
was TO be annually given TO twenty-one
boys who would faithfully perform certain
conditions of the will; one-fourth TO eight
cen girls. one-eighth TO fifty-tour young
women for marriage portions, and the re
naming eighth to the same number of indi-
gent and deserving widows. The required
sum will be reached i'm October next; and
accordingly, about $40, 800 will hereafter
annually be distributed among the boys
about S5,l5 piece, making prize for those
who are lucky enough to secure it; and as
this distribution is to be an annual thing,
an army of boys will, in time, be furnished
with a handsome sum to start life with
The sum of 81, 400 viii be distributed among
the girls-S30o a piece; 81, for mar
riage portions, making $50 piece, which
will pay for many of the necessary s'fx-
ings;" and the same sum, $3.50 a piece,
TO the widows. The trustees of the fund
are annually elected, like all other town
officers, and the principal of the fund is
mainly loaned upon real estate in various
towns of the county. We are unacquainted
with the prescribed requirements for obtain-
ing the prizes.-Cm. Times. .-. ..t,

Collections tn Churches.

\ lady correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press gives an account of the manner OF
taking up collections in Notre Dame church,
Montreal, and suggests the adoption of the
plan in our country. We think it is an ex-
cellent idea Here it is: e.7l- rAe'.
The clergymen of Notre Dame have az
taches, who go to The different pews in which
the ladies who are selected TO make The col
lection are seated. These ladies are escorted
each through different aisle--by those
attaches, TO collect money for the poor, or for
other purposes. Then, after the collection
is taken up, the ladies are escorted back TO
their seats. | have resided in France seve-
raj years, where the same thing is done.
know, by experience, having several times
made collections IN churches, that the sal
yers, when handed around by ladies, were
soon filled, while those of the gentlemen
would be returned 10 the altar almost empty.
Our churchts here, it is true, are. smaller
than those at Montreal !; but this wouid make
no difference; for instead of four or five Ia
dies one or two wouid be sufficient. Each
lady could take her turn ON alternate Sun,
days. have no doubt many little gold dol
lars would fall INTO salvers presented 5y
ladies, while only few silver pieces would
be collected by gentlemen. How could any
one be so hard-hearted as to refuse lady,
who, with kind and smiling face, should,
iE presenting the plate, say, " For the poor,
