ADyERrIsE.-It is fact well known to all
Intelligent business men--a fact that must
soon be appreciated by all-that the man
who adopts and carries out the most liberal
system of advertising, is the first TO distance
competition and reach the goal for which all
mankind are struggling-weaith- The fact
is, there is no kind of business now that pays
without the aid of advertising. The time
was when, if the people wanted to purchase
an article, they went out 10 search of it, and
kept going till they found it, or satisfied
themselves that it was not to be had. Now,
however, they do nothing of the sort they
simply turn to the advertising columns of the
newspapers, which they find an unerring
guide book, wherein they find everything
they want. The time has come when the peo-
pie require the merchant, the grocer, the
mechanic, and all others engaged in trade, 20
advertise and make known what they have
got Ii saves purchasers a vast deal of trou-
BILE. An advertisement Is a convenience
they cannot dispense with. They must have
a fnger-board to direct them to the best
place to make their purchases, and nothing
better in that line has been, or ever can be,
Invented
There are men here and there who pass
through business career of years without
discovering the advantages of advertising.
Their cry has ever been, - everybody knows
.e, and what Ihave to sell, and there is NJ
use in advertising ;" and so they keep the
even tenor of their way, their business drags
its slow length along, and they find them
selves doing comparatively nothing, while
their more wise and enterprising neighbors,
who know the advantages of advertising,
and avail themselves of them, are dashing
away rapidly and safely upon the high-road
to fortune.
If you desire to secure the patronage of
reading people, advertise your business
through the newspapers. Every edition of
the paper places your business promptly be-
fore thousands of people. Everybody knows
that single paragraph in a newspaper has
!, made the fortune of many man, and many
a man has missed a fortune by his want of
faith in the virtue of such paragraph-by
his want of faith in the value of an advertise
ment.
As small specimen of what a
newspaper advertisement will some
times active, we may state that short time
since, the Publishers of the Patriot advertised
for boy to stay in the Office. In less than
three days they had sevent-ive applications.
As another and much more important in
stance of the benefits derived from advertis-
ing, we might re:er to the insurance agency
of our friend W. J. MARI, on College street.
Go where you will, look into what city paper
you will, and you encounter his advertise
ments. The consequence is, his agency gets
as much business as it knows what to do
with. and he and his assistants are kept busy
day and night.

Diptheria t: Dfptherfa!!

For the cure of that dreadful disease
Diptheria--Perry Davis Pain Killer is a spe-
cifc, if resorted to in time. 1t should be
used mixed with water, as gargle, and the
throat bathed with Pain Killer freely. Read
what DR.. Walton writes, which is under date
of Nov. %, 1860, from Coshocton Co., Ohio:
Il am happy to inform you that the Pain
Killer cures this new disease or s5re throat,
that is prevailing to so alarming an extent
in this section of the country. On Walnut
Greek, Holmes county, they use scarcely any
other remedy, and it has never been known
to fail in single instance. This fact should
be made known to the world"
Letters of similar nature are daily re-
ceived. The Pain Killer should be in every
house.

~ The most novel invention on exhibi-
ton is certainly the air self-winding clock of
r. Hitchcock, of WateTtOwn. If not per-
petual motion itself, it is as near it as ap-
proach is likely to be made. We understand
the model ran eight months without winding
and repair, and was then taken down for re-
moyal to the Patent Office. The motive pow
er is obtained from wheel placed in the ven-
tilator of the room, where a sufficient cur
rent is always found; this, connected with
the clock-wOrk, keeps it continually wound
up. So satisfactory is the working of the
principle. and so confident are experienced
mechanics of its practical value. that the
Boston Watch Company are manufacturing

The Concert Last Night.

The concert last night, at Masonic Temple,
for the benefit of the Robertson Association
was a complete suceess-complete as to the
excellence of the entertainment the nurE-
bers in attendance, and the adaptability OF
the magnificent hall to musical performances.
The hall was full almost to overfowing, and
the various pieces of music were performed
in a style which commanded the most uD-
bounded applause. Everybody seemed de-
lighted, as well they might No amateur
concert in our city ever went of better. We
trust it is but an earnest of future triumpbs.
