Some of the sharp shooting on the Rapi-

Some of the sharp shooting on the Rapi- dan in Virginia has been very sharp. A reb- sl officer appeared mounted near the river, when 40 shots resounded, and the ven turer dropped instantly from his saddle. A sqad of the 9th New York cavalry euscouced themselves in earpenters shop, making bar sicades and breastvorks of the bench and some heavy cherry plank, and boring loop- holes with an auger, out of which they con- trivsd to Ire with deliberate aim. and make good hits. 2d Lieutenant Dick Taylor had fired many effective shots through one of these. when; dropping behind the woodwork to re- load" chick"-in an instant came wel-di- fected bullet through the upper edge of his leop hole, shivering the plank, and releasing him from an honorable death or an ugly wound by the narrowest escape. Corporal Banks of the 3d Indiana, had built 6 breast-work of logs acoss space between two houses, and for five hours, with deadly aim, did execution whenev- CT head or limb appeared above the enenys rife pits. At last, as he laid his carbine again upon the log, minnie ball entered his fore head, and he fell . sacrifice to his bold persist enee.

Bs Cr~n--A few days since, dispatch was received by gentleman in Boston from the westward, in which his correspondent re, quested the receiver to instantly inform a merchant in neigAburing city regarding cer. tain affairs which had an important bearing on his pecuniary interest. Without delay, the gentleman rode out of town and called upon the merchant, who received him in a most un- kindly manner. and without allowing him a preliminary word. told him to come to the subject of his business at once, and then clear out y Naturally irritated at such reception, the gentleman left the merchants counting room, without exchanging word with him. The consequence was that the lack of inform atlon which common civility would have fur nished the merchant, has since cost him twen. ydve.thousand dollars.

oASFlsa GREEN CeRS AND ToMAroEs;-A. D. Wood, of Ohio communicates the followino which he says is successful mode of canning green corn and tomatoes, to the Country Gen. ueman:--
 Cut the corn from the cob when 1t is in nice order for roasting ears, put it on and cook # sares-quarters of an hour over a good fire, or until it is done. Then have your tomatoes pared and put in two equal measures of them. with one ear of corn, bring them all to a hard boil, or as hot az fruits are usually made when put up air tight. Put in salt enough for taste and stir it through. This appears to help keep it good then can, as you would anything else and my experience for it, you will have nice corn aud tomatoes in the coming winter. ] have tried it two years with uniform success.

 CERTIFICATE.
 This is to certify that. about eighteen months ago, I commenced using STERLING s AaBRosIA. My hair was short, thin, and rap idly falling out I had tried many Hair Tonics, Invigorators. &c., without receiving any benefit. Soon after using the Ambrosia my hair ceased falling out, and commenced growing 50 rapidly as to astOnish me. Now my hair is thick, soft and glossy. and is five feet and four incAes in length when let down reaching to the floor. This wonderful result attribute solely to the use of STERLING S AMBRosIA. as since 1 commenced using it have applied nothing else to my hair.
 Mrs. L. A. BROWN,
 No. 439 Broadway, New York. We advise young persons, whose hair is be. ginning to fall out, to take warning in time and save their hair, by using the Ambrosia To these who have already lost their hair. the free use of the Ambrosa will surely restore it. as it has done for thousands.
 Dr. sterling's Ambrosia is a stimulating oily extract of Roots, Barks and Herbs. It will cure all diseases of the scalp, and itching of the head; entirely eradicates dandruff pre- vents the hair from falling out, or from turn ing prematurely gray, causing it to grow thick and long. It is entirely different from all other preparations, and can be relied on.
 It is well known fact to thousands in the city of New York that this is the only article yet discovered that will cure the Disease of the Scalp and cause the Hair to grow.
