In consequence of the repeated attacks which
have been made on me by Forwarding & Com

columns of the Express d Herald, for not deliv

care but not consigned to them Bill of la

patrons as it rcay>is, and allow them TO judge
for themselves of the business of the course pur-
sued by me during the last season in regard to
consigned freight do not deny that have
repeatedly refused TO deliver goods to Dubuque
Commission Merchants, even when the packa-

that all persons who shipped by our line, did SO
in order to receive their freight promptly and
at the lowest possible rate per hundred pounds

Freight contracted by us should be subjected to
any extra charges at Dubuque when it could
easily be avoided. Great care has always been
observed TO deliver goods gong west to the Du-

Lectures.

Gy- Owing TO the extreme GOODNESS
of the weather. and the popular enter
tainmcnt given by the Germania Band
Of Dubuque. on that evening, there was
but limited audience present at the
Court House, on Saturday night last, and
the lecture of Dr. PARSONS was conse
quently postponed ill Monday Evening.
On that evening an unusually large and
intelligent audience was in attendance.
The lecturers theme was LIBERALISM
as. ULTRAIsM," and the discourse had
a humor, and pungency, as well as a
kind Of independent sauciness, about it,
that was quite refreshing. The opening,
in which a reason the Dr. don't deal in
apologies was given for delivering the
lecture second time, was peculiarly
happy one, and the gusto with which
he begged to assure the audience that
he didn't value their endorsement or
non endorsement Of his views and opin-
ions as much as the price of a pin, was
decidedly pleasing. The lecturer crack
ed old fogyism and ultraism over the
knuckles with some pointed illustrations,
and shocked orthodoxy by broadly as
serting the most heretical opinions
While differing most emphatically with
some of the lecturers views and deduc-
tons, we cannot fail to express our admit
ration of the blunt, fearless manner, in
which he presented them. We have not
the time 10 give anything like a just sy-
nopsis of the discourse, and conseq uent-
" shall give no intimation of the posi-
lions advanced.
The next lecture of the course will be
given by JED LAKE, Esq. Subject
" ASTRONOMY as DIVINE REVELATION. J."
Mr.. LAKE is eminendy practical and ar
gumcntative in his discourses, and we
have no doubt will give one Of the best
lectures Of the course.

number of physicians that females cannoC too
highly value them. They have given health

them would have been in their graves. They

medical companion at certain periods. From
one to three should be taken every day until re-

when well, will keep the system in healthy
condition.
