ARE DR.. HURD'S PREPARATIONS GOOD ?

The best evidence that they are is. that their
firmest friends and best patrons are those who
have used them longest. DR.. WILLIAM B.
HURD is an eminent Dentist of Brooklyn
Treasurer Of the New York State Dentists
Association, and these preparations have been
used in his private practice for years, and no
leading citizen of Brooklyn or Williamsburgh
questions their excellence, while eminent
Dentists OF New York recommend them as the
best known to the profession. Without the
aid of advertising, dealers have sold them by
the gross.
The Editor ofthe Brooklyn Daily Times says :
1--WE are happy to know that our friend, Dr..
Hurd, is succeeding beyond all expectations
with his Mouth Wash and Tooth Powder. The
great secret of his success rests with the fact
that his articles are precisely what they are
represented to be, as we can testify from their
long use"
The well-known P. T. Barnum writes I'll
found your Tooth Powder so good that my
family have used it all up. We find it the
best Powder for the teeth that we ever used.
shall feel obliged if you will send me another
supply at the Museum at your convenience,
with the bill"
But their cost is so small that every one
may test the matter for himself
Beware of the ordinary Tooth Powders Dr.
Hurd's Tooth Powder contains no acid, nor
alkali, nor charcoal, and poliShes without
wearing the enamel. Use no other.

Farmers and Mechanics you cannot well
afford to neglect your teeth. For a trilling

70" A regular duel occurred during the
attack on Fort Donelson, between one of
Col Birge's sharpshooters and crack shot
inside the enemy's Notifications. Both fired
accurately-but both concealed their per-
sons as much as possible, and endeavored to
deceive each other by putting their hats on
their ramrods and thrusting their coats from
behind the Notifications or the trees What
ever was exposed almost invariably received
bullet; but the two were so wary ar d skill
full that it seemed they might fire until
doomsday without danger to either. About
O'Clock in the afternoon, however, the reb-
ell, torgetful Of prudence, thrust his head
over the breastworks, thinking, no doubt, as
his enemy had not fired for five minutes, that
he might be dead. The movement was ia
tai. His head was not exposed five seconds,
bat in that brief period the sharpshooter's
ball passed into the rebels brain, land stretch
ed him out corpse before the unfortunate
fellow had been able to determine where his
enemy was lurking, OR by whose hand he
was destined to fall.

who use them and the travelling public, for
after the snow is more than eight or ten
inches deep they speedily gouge the track
into "cradle holes" which well nigh embargo
all travelling for business or pleasure. Hor-
SEES and cattle are worried and injured by
them, and they cause more damage to sleds,
sleighs and harnesses, by far, than any pos
sble benefit to be derived from the use of
them. We do not believe in undulv multi

u A short time since Col Kellogg wrote
to Gen Paine, commanding at Cairo, that the

that the rebels had murdered five Union men;
Gen Paine replied :-"IIang one of the rebel

after this kill two for each. Continue to
