The undersigned, desirous of acquanting those who
may be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted
where permanent relief Of their snllerngs may be
ohancd feels it his duty to thus publicly express his
most sincere gratitude to DR.. l.. j. Czapkay for the
permanent recovery of his health. Borne down by
the distressing symptoms incident to the vicious prac-
tice of uncomfortable passion in youth depressed in
body and mind, unable to perform even the most tri-
sods the advice of many physicians who al first
garded my disease of tring importance; but alas
after few weeks and in several instances months of
their treatment, found to my unutterabe horror that
instead of relief, my symptoms became alarming
in their torture and being told by that my disease
being principally confined TO the brain, medicines
would be of little consequence, despaired Of ever re-
gaining my heath strength and energy and last
resort, and with but faint hope, called upon Dr.
Czapkay, who, after examining my case, prescribed
some medicine which almost instantly relieved me of
the dull pain and dizziness in my head. Encouraged
by this result, resolved to place myself Immediately
under his care and by strict obedience to all his di
reCti0ns and advice, my head became clear, my ideas
collected, the constant pain in my back and groins
the weakness of my limbs the nervous reaction Of my
whole body on the slightest alarm excitement the
msanthropy and evil forebodings the sell-distrust
and want of confidence in others the incapabty to
study and want of resolution the frigtul, exciting
and at all times pleasurable dreams at night followed
by Involuntary discharges have all disappeared and,
in fact in two months after having consulted the Doc
tor, felt as If inspired by new lifehat life which,
but short time ago, contemplated to end by my
ownhand.
With view to guard the unfortunate from falling in
to the snares of incompetent quacks deem it my du
y to offer this testimony to the merits and skill of Dr.
Czpkay, ard recommend him to all who may stand in
need of medical advice, being assured by my own ex-
perence, that nnder his care radical and per.
manent cure will be effected. b. Il. FILLMORE.

NEW PATENT.

TNhe undersigned having procured the exclu-
 Il sive right of manufacturing and selling to the citizens of Prairie county Arkansas, the late improvement in blows, (known as Har- ris' twelve pointed shovel and turning blow, ) would inform the planters of said county that he is prepared to receive and fill all orders, which will be done in regular turn, notifying the person ordering, as soon as ready.
 This is no Yankee humbug for speculation, but was gotten up in the South by an expe- rienced workman, on scientific principles, to suit the wants of the cotton growing commu- nity, and five minutes examination will satisfy the most credulous, that it is the neatest, best, and in the end, the cheapest blow ever of fered.
 < They will be put up at Atlanta, Prairie county, under the superintendence Of an ex- perenced workman and no means or time will be spared in making them neat and durable.
 The advantages of this over all other blows to the farmer is, cheapness, time saved in go- ing to the shop, time saved in changing blows and the smiths bill. In this you have four distinct blows, all working perfect, (no sub stitute in either,) which yon can change at pleasure on any part of your farm, no other tool being required but your clovis pin; first, you have a small shovel, suited for all ordi- nary purposes of that tool, by adding one mould, either right or left, you have good turning half shovel for ridging and milling and place a cutter before it and you have an excel lent new-g ground blow; in the third place, put on both moulds and you have large shovel, perfectly suited to breaking out the middles of cotton rows; and fourth, by reversing the moulds of the large shovel, you have good cotton sweep, all four working better than you can get any common smith to make of wrought iron. In addition you have, by adjusting the point, (which is made of the best of wrought blow steel, } five extra points and eleven extra sharpenings, over other blows, which is said, by some of the most prominent planters in North Mississippi, to be sufficient for five crops; and all this for S6 50-100, without cutter, or $7 50-100 with cutter attached; these are shop prices. I will send them to Brownsville or Hickory Plain, in lots of 20 for $3 per lot or to Des Arc, at $6 per lot.
 RI Terms invariably cash on delivery of the blow. c. A. HARRIS.

 A LIBERAL G1FT.-Capt. ABNER BAIRD of the good Steamer Admiral, on the 30th ult., presented the Methodist Church of Des Arc with fine bell. The gift seems to be duly appreciated by'our Methodists friends, as the following proceedings will testify. AT MEETING OF THE QUARTERLY CONFER ENcE OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, HELD AT DEs ARC, ON SATURDAY THE 1sT OF OCTOBER, 1859, THE FOLLOW ING PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS WERE ADOPTED:
 WHEREAS, Capt. Abner Baird, of the Mem phis and White river packet Admiral, has presented the Methodist Church of Des Arc, bell, for the use and benefit of Watkins Chapel; and WHEREAS, We highly appre- ciate the generous spirit exhibited thereby !; be it therefore
 RESOLVED, That the thanks of this Confer ence, and of the members of the Church rep resented thereby, as well as that of the public generally, are hereby rendered Capt. Baird. RESOLVED, That we trust ''the sound of the Church going bell' may not only be heard, but that the multitude may be persuaded to come and hear of ''him who died that we might live."
 RESOLVED, That the foregoing preamble and resolutions be published in the ''Des Arc Citizen," and copy of the same be presented to Capt. A. Baird.

ScoTcH SoLED BooTs.-Messrs. OBRYAN & HoLr, as everybody knows, are No. 1 work men. They understand the art of shaping leather to suit the ''feet'' of customers, no matter if their "feet" are ssfoot long."-- Their make of fine boots, we have tried, and know them to be good-but what we wish to cali attention to is an article known as ''Scotch Soled Boots," specimen of which were on exhibition at their shop on Monday. We won't attempt to describe them--but call and examine for yourselves. They are well adapted to muddy weather, impervious to water; and the individual who wears them will escape s'kotching cold and having fe- ver." If our town authorities fail to grade the streets, and owners of property don't lay down their pavements, it would be good idea to appropriate a sufficient sum, and contract with Messrs. O'BRYAN S HoLT to furnish ev- cry man, woman and child in the town with a pair of their "Scotch Soled Boots." They are warranted to last lifetime, provided the purchaser don't live too long.

GRATurrous ADvERTIsING.-The follow ing paragraph which we quote from the "Prairie (Mississippi) News," we trust, will be read and pondered over by the public gen. orally. We have published the 'Citizen' near five years, and during that time have done over three thousand dollars worth of gratuitous advertising:
 "Some people there are who are so innocent ly simple as to believe, or affect to believe, that the editorial columns of newspaper are public property in which every society, every school, and every meeting has special inter- est that entities it to special right to be blown into notoriety or puffed into public fla vor. Preambles and resolutions, no matter how long or of how little general interest they may be, individual puffs, business announce ments--all are expected to be printed, gratis. We have, to some extent tried to disabuse the public mind of this halucination. It is all very we'll to argue that an editor must fill his paper with something, and that such things will sfll up'' as well as anything else ; but be it distinctly understood that we possess, and intend to exercise, the right of being the judge of whatever matter is likely to be of most interest to our subscribers. We pay for every line of type that is set up in this office, and no one can reasonably expect us to pay for the setting up of type for his pecaniary bene- fit, without paying us for the space he wishes to occupy. In cities man would as soon think of going into store, and ask the pro prietor to give him a suit of clothes, as to step into printing office and ask the editor to give him notice that would benefit him pecunia- rily. In the agrarian districts, however, it is a little different; but printers, like other me- chanics, must be paid for their work. Money is as necessary to the steady going of print ing office, as are wheels to the running of 8 cart.
 As a man we treat our fellow-men with tht same degree of courtesy and kindness they ex tend to us as a printer we will mete out jus tice to those who are just to us.'
 There is class who have been neglected by the "News." We mean those who beg { paper from the printing office, or "pick up' one from their neighbors door--they get tn, paper-no matter how--so they don't have tC pay for it. They won't try to beg yard o goods of the merchant-they pay for that but the newspaper "don't cost the publisher anythingw Oh, mol

AGRICULTURAL FAIR CoNcERT.-By refer ence to an advertisement in our columns, signed by the Secretary of the Prairie county Agricultural Society," it will be seen that the Ladies have again consented to favor the at tendants at the approaching Fair with con- cert, the proceeds to go into the treasury of the Society. This is indeed commendable on the part of our fair friends. There was noth ing, during our last annual Fair, that the large number in attendance were more highly grati- fled to see, than the fine array of musical talent presented on that occasion. We are safe in asserting that this concert will be equal, if not superior to tn .t of last year.

Their Apple and Pear scions, &c., are superior to those brought from the North, as they have been reared in the Southern climate, and there can be no deception as to their growth and matu- rity. The specimen of Queen apple left with ns, is of superior kind. MT. MORROW wish es to make engagements for the delivery of scions in the month of December. On his arrival here at that time, he will make it known to our readers.
