A beautiful rebly was that Of the captive
maid Parthenia, who, when weaving gar.
land Of flowers for the rude and barbaric In
gomar, was asked by him Of what use the
fragrant blossoms were. "Use," she re-
piled, bestowing upon them look Of rever-
ent admiration, why, they are beautiful
that is their use.'' So might we answer il
asked what use there is Of beautifying the
hair by the application Of "Lubin's Florii-
ine.' 1t makes tho hair soft and glossy, re-
tains it in any desired position, and supplies
to the capillary tubes new sustcnance and
vigor. It is the most beautiful and desire
able toilet companion any lady ever possess
ed. Ask any lady who has tried it.

ANOTHER GREAT SUCCESS We have pre-
viously alluded to the unparalleled cures
that DR.. Farrard, the, Spanish physician,
has made, and declared it as our opinion,
land it has become the opinion Of the pub
lie generally,) that in his treatment relief
can be. secured if within the power Of hui
man skill. His surgical operations in our
midst, during his few months sojourn
in this city, and the success attend
cd thereto, is sufficient evidence Of his abil
ity to ouercome disease Rev Mr.. Gunn,
Of Mt. Pleasant, under date Of Dec. 18th,
1864, writes as follows II am happy to
say that our little daughter is now improv-
ing rapidly under your treatment. Her hear
ing is nearly restored. Many thanks" &c.
4 lady here in Scott county, who has been
blind for years, has had her sight entirely
restored by DR.. Farrard.

DIssoLuTIoN.-As will be noticed by i'd
vertisement in another column, the popular
and widely known firm of Luse, Lane &
Co. is dissolved by mutual consent Of part
ners. By this dissolution, T. Y. Lane,
Esq, retires from the firm, leaving the
large and profitable business that the ener-
getic concern has built up to be conducted
by the remaining partners, A. P. Luse and
F. H. Griggs, under the firm name Of Luse
& Griggs.
The retiring partner, our esteemed friend,
Z. Y. Lane, goes to New York for the pur-
pose Of entering upon business there. Mr..
Lane came to this city in 1856 and entered
into the above named firm. At that time
the now large and thriving business was in
its infancy, and confined to one room in the
third story of 10 Claire row, but by the un-
tiring energy - perseverance Of the firm
lit has now become what it is-the leading
blank book and general publishing house in
the State, occupying the entire room Of a
large three story brick building on Perry
street. No concern in this city has labored
more fairly or more earnestly to achieve
prosperity than that Of Lusc, Lane & Co.,
and none are more worthy to enjoy the sue
cess that arduous and constant labor has
brought. By the retiring of Mr. Lane from
the business that he has contributed SC
largely to building up, Davenport loses one
Of its most enterprising and most valuable
citizens and his loss is one that is to be
seriously regretted. In his future public
| and private career we wish him continued
success, and hope that some time he may
make up his mind to return to our city.
AS to the new firm, we wish it continued
prosperity in its business career. 1t has q
strong hold upon the business Of the State
and will take good care not to let it gro
| any less.
