1t is natter Of surprise that so many
Of the travelling public 10 this portion of
the West. and particularly this State, 10
going East, 60 BY the way Of Chicago,
when it is much more direct route, and
great deal cheaper, to 60 on the Great
Western, BY the way of Springfield and
Toledo. A further advantage Of this
route, is that there is but one change oi
cars between here and Toledo, an advan-
tage of great moment to ladies and fami-
lies, and withal Of no less comfort to bus
mess men. All these advantages are ee-
cured BY buying your ticket to the East
of our gentlemanly friend N. D. Munson,
General Ticket Agent; Office corner Of
Second and Main streets.
The reduction of fare just made BY
this company, to all points East. should
indaos our people generally to try thi,
new and admirably appointed line, where.
by they can reach the East 10 less time
and for less money than by any othel
route.

stories high, with road way on one side
and one end Of the building. on level
with the second story. Tie wallis of these
buildings will be entirely of stone, and in
connection with them, there will be small
er buildings for slaugbtering the hogs
and smoking their bacon.
When finished this will be the most
extensive and complete establishments of
the kind on the Mississippi River.
Messrs. Cleghorw& Alexander have
made extensive additions to their es.ab-
lishment for the present, as have also
Messrs. Patterson & Timberman.
With the new buildings of Connable
d. Smyth, and the additions made to the
Old establishments, the capacity for
slaughtering and packing hogs. will be
twice as great as it was last year at this
point. and We shall be able to take care
of at least three hundred thousand head
of hogs here during the approaching
season.

DESTIsrRY.-In calling attention 10
the card of Dr.. Hicks, We deem it proper
simply to mention that We are much in
debted to bis skill for the present good
condition Of our teeth. Thirteen or four
teen years ago, We went to him to get an
aching tooth extracted; he said he could
save it for six or eight years by plugging.
That was our first experience in dentistry.
Since that time, we have paid DR. H.
about Fifty dollars, and do not regret the
expenditure. Our experience has taught
us never to suffer one day with the tooth
ache; any skillful dentist can tell at a
glance whether an aching tooth is worth
saving or not. DR.. Hicks has always kept
up with the improvements in business.
and has never allowed scientific or skill-
full Improvements to pass unhesded, when
he was satisfied that it was an actual ben.
eft to the profession. Our advice, in
fact. is to patronis Dentists instead ol
suffering with the most agonizing of all
ills-the tooth-ache.
