18TH REGIMENT, Co. D-A list of soldiers
wounded at Fort Donelson, published in the
Chicago Time, of the 25th, has the following
in Capt. Lackey's company, viz
IN. Blodgett, D. X. Harrington, E. NJ.
Dennng, - Benderwood, Thomas Durand.'
We cannot be certain WHO is wounded, by
reading the names, for the telegraph is quite
as likely to get them wrong as right. For
instance, "E. NJ Denning" is, without doubt,
a son of Elisha Devinney, of Hampton. Who
the others are we shall probably know some.

p. S.-Since the above was put in type,
young Divenney has arrived in town, and gone
home. file is wounded in the leg--a flesh
wound, pretty bad, but will recover. We did
not see him, but we hear that he said one of
the other wounded was son of S. Brandt, OF
Port Byron, and that he thought all would
recover. We earnestly hope they may.
LOCAL NEwspAPERs.-Local newspapers,
says cotemporary, should be a complete re-
fex of the business and prosperity of their
place of publication, and every one ought to
be impressed with the Importance of this
fact who has charge of a local paper. 1t
should be the imperative duty Of all business
men to patronize, sustain and encourage their
local journals not only for their own indi-
yidual interest, but for the welfare Of the
community in which they are published. Lo,
cal news of local papers is so regarded by
intelligent business men in every place. II
is through this source that one is qualified &c
Judge of the business and activity of towns
and villages therefore the necessity ofliber
ally patronizing local papers, not only by the
way of advertising, but in furnishing the
material to make them entertaining and pro
ftable to all. 1t cannot be expected that al
editor is cognizant of all that is transpirinl
throughout the town and county, and for thi
reason every man should feel it privilege T.
assist in making public through the local pa
pers events Of daily occurrence in the CON
munity in which he resides. By this cours
editors can furnish through their respectiv
papers complete record Of all that transpirt
OF interest in town or country.

Who is Mrs. WinsloW ?

As this question is frequently asked,
we SHALL simply say that she is a lady
who for upwards Of thirty years has IN
tiringly devoted her time and talents As
female physician and nurse, principally
among children She has especially
studied the constitution and wants Of this
numerous class, 50 generally overlooked
or carelessly treated by the faculty in too
many instances and, as result Of this
effort and practical knowledge, obtained
in a lifetime spent as nurse and physi-
clan, she has compounded a Soothing
Syrup for children teething. 1t Oper-
ates like magic-giving rest and health,
and is, moreover, sure TO regulate the
bowels. In consequence OF this article
Mrs. Winslow is becoming world re-
nowned as a benelactor Of the race +;
children certainly do RISE UP and bless
her; especially is this the case in this
city. Vast quantities Of the Soothing
Syrup are daily sold and used here. 1t
has got TO be a common remark, Il had
rather depend on Mrs. Winslow's Sooth-
ing Syrup for my children, than to have
the united advice of the medical faculty
of the city" We think Mrs. Winslow
has immortaIized her name by this in
valuable article, and we sincerely believe
thousands of children have been saved
from an early grave by its timely use,
and that millions yet unborn will share
its benefits, and unite in calling her
blessed. No mother has discharged her
duty to her suffering little one, in our
opinion, until she has given it the bene-
fit of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup.
Try it, mothers-try it now.-Ladies'
