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

WYE beg leave to call the atten- w tion of the Trade, and more especially the Physicians of the country, to two of the most pop ular remedies now before the pub lie. We refer to
 Dr. Chas. M'Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge 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. It has also been administered with the most satis- factory results to various Animals subject to Worms.
 THE LIVER PILLS, For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS, all BILIOUS DERANGEMENTs, SICK HEADACHE, &c. In cases of
 FEVER AND AGUE, preparatory to- or after taking Qui- nine, they almost invariably make a speedy and permanent cure.
 As specifies for the above men, toned diseases, they arc Unrivaled, and never known to fail when ad- ministered in accordance with the directions. W
 Their unprecedented popularity has induced the proprietors,
 FLEMING BROTHERS,
 PITTSBURGH, 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. kl'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 Purcst material, and com- pound them in the most thorough manner. Address all orders to

The Iberville Sentinel Of Saturday last says:
From all that we can learn, the crops are again
sadly Ia want of rain. In many places the cane
and corn have scarcely shown their green blades
above the earth. There are other places, again,
where the former ii two feet and the latter three
feet high
Since the above was in type a fine rain has oc
cured, and, we trust extended its invigorating
influence to all parts of onr parish.
The North Louisiana Herald OF the 10th instant
has the following:
The week has been a pleasant and growing Que
since the two cool days in the first Of the week.
At the time of this writing 18th, IN the mornng)
there are strong indications Of showers before

Since writing tile above fine shower has fallen

more. More propitious seasons up to this time
could hardly be desired.

On Wednesday last there was desperate fight
between John Williams and Bill Baden. They
met ON Red river, few miles below this place, in
Bossier parish where they We're raising vegetables
for this market in partnership. Baden treated
Williams wife rndely and drove her of the place.
She reported the conduct Of Bladen to her hus-
band, who went down with his gun to have salts
faction. N. =. Wright states that be was per-
suaded to go down BY Williams wife to prevent a
difficulty. When Bladen came to the spot, firing
commenced on both sides, Bladen shooting Will
liams through the body with a rife, killing him
almost instantly. Bladen was shot in the back,
and has since died.
Wright SAYS that Williams and himself both shot
at Baden, and thinks that Williams shot took
effect in Bladenss back as he was retiring from the
action. Baden's dying testimony conflicts with
WEght's. He afirms that he was not shot until
Williams was dead, and that Wright shot him after
the tight was ended. Wright states that lie was
near Williams when Bladen shot the fatal ball,
which passed near his body and through Williams;
