CELEBRATED HORSE AND CATTLE
p q wv d E ERS.

NJ HESE Powders have proved, after trial
i OF several years, TO be superior to any
preparation of the kind in use. The chief
superiority of these Powders arises from tnel
fact that they are composed OF medicines
Irhat have Laxative, Tonic and PurIfying
properties The laxative elects crudities
from the stomach and intestines the tonic
- gives strength to the system CT the Horse,
z and the Purifying medicines contained in
= them cleanse the blood, and lay the founda-
tion for vigorous and healthy circulation.
The use vf tfem improves the wind SIT en- 9Th.
ems the appetite and gives the horse fine,
smooth and glossy skin-thus improving the
appearance, vigor and spirit of this noble !
animal.
These powders are not intended, as most
powders are, TO bloat the animal SO as to
give him the appearance OF being lat when
mol really So out, TO remove the disease
and promote his general health.
These powders will strengthen the stom-
ach and intestines, cleanse them from offen-
sive matter, and bring them to healthy
state. They are sure prevention Of Lung
Fever, and a certain remedy for all diseases
incident to the Horse, as Chambers, Yellow
Water, Distempers, Founder, Heaves, Slav-
.ering, Coughs, Fevers. Loss of Appetite and
Vital Energy, &c.--These Powders, il used
two or three times a week, through the VIM
= ter and spring, your horse will never get the
= Lung Fever, Collie or Bolts. A few doses of
! these powders will remove the worst cough,
on any horse. Were owners of horses TO ,
:, ieed few of these powders every year, they
might save the lives of many valuable horses.
.MILCH COWS.
The properties this powder possesses Ia in
ereasing the quantity of milk in cows, givesl
il an importance and value which shouldI
place 1t in he hands of every person keep-I
ing cow. In fatteuing cattle. it gives them
an appetite, loosens their bide, and makes
hem thrive much faster.

Singular Incident.

''The wicked fee when no man pur-
Fueth, was proverb strikingly verified,
on Saturday the 9TH Dec. 1868, at the
ancient ely Of Georgetown, place Of
1000 inhabitants, about 60 miles north
Of Charleston, S. c., at the head of Win
Jaw Bay. Hearing of Bragg's defeat,
and report prevailing that Gen. Grant
was close upon them, fire was applied to
the depots ef naval stores belonging to
the Confederacy, and an immense amount
of cotton, tar, pitch, turpentine, rosin, &c,
were consumed, with the greater part of
the town. This immense loss some
attribute, however, more to hatred of JEFF.
Davis, than to any real fear of the Union
army's being near them. Thus waste
away the Rebel resources.

A Day of Jubilee.

January l, 1864, should be observed
as day of jubilee. On that day, one
year ago, Abraham Lincoln struck the
chains off the Slaves of Rebels in ten
States, and started the Nation in a
career of Freedom which will be honored
to our latest postcrity. Thousands who
are now blinded by party prejudice and
Ignorance, will yet live to see the day
when they will thank God for Abraham
Lincoln and his charter of Freedom.
The true and faithful to freedom every
where should meet on that day and ask
Gods blessing on the President and the
cause of Emancipation. If but 'two or
three gather together in His name,"
there also Will be the spirit of Him who
is with the prince and the peasant, the mon
arch and the slave. We commend this
to the consideration of all who recognize
the hand of Providence in the conduct of
our national affairs, and the instrumental
ity of Abraham Lincoln in His hands. as
evidenced by the success of the Union
armies since the lst of January, lS63.-
