DIARRHGA AND DYsENTERY.-We have ex-
amined a great number of letters from some
Of the most citizens of Cincinnati and CoYing-
ton, etc, speaking in the highest terms Of
DR.. Strickland's Anti-Cholera Mixture for the
cure of diarrhoea and dysentery. The letters
are too long to publish. Mr.. Woods, of Cow
ington, says he was pronounced ineurable by
the best doctors in Cincinnati and one bottle
Of DR.. Strickland's Anti-Cholera Mixture eff
ected permanent cure after suffering for
months with the worst form OF diarrhoea aud
-dysentery.
Another saws he was discharged from the
United States service after suffering in the
hosnital for 6 months as incurable, and as
last resource tried Strickland's Ant-ChOlers
Mixture he got well directly and has now en-
tered the army again in good health. One
man writes he has cured seven or eight very
bad cases of diarrhoea and dysentery in the
barracks he was in with one bottle of this
valuable medicine. In fact we could fill half
our paper with similar items from these let
ters. Why does not our Government secure
this valuable preparation. Our army ought
TO be supplied with it. It is but a short tims
since one of our men laid in a very low con-
dition at one Of our Cincinnati Hospitals, his
wife was sent for, his doctors considered his
a hopeless case. She, however, gave him
Stricklands Anti-Cholera Mixture, and in
three weeks ne was able to return home with
his wife to New Richmond, o. All these

household work, polished every article
capable Of polish. and ssaded all the rest
At the last she had swept clean her door
stone, and now felt free to do what she
choose, to rest, or gossip, or sit down to
needle work-a thing impossible to her
while a spot beneath her roof was out of
order. Just now she felt neither like
gossiping nor sewing; her heart was very
full, and she found it necessary to stand
still and think a while. Only that she
was not used to it, she would have cried,
she was so very sad. It seemed to her
that the happiest people we're those who

What a Toad did for a Soldier.

A friend connected with the United States
Sanitary Commission relates for the Ameri-
can Agriculturist the following:
A number of wounded from the battle Of
Petersburg were lying in a hospital tent,
among whom was a negro whose leg had
been taken. of. He was on mattress on
the ground, and the weather being hot, the
dressed stump Of his leg was exposed, and
swarm Of flies were sitting upon it Present.
ly large toad hoped into the tent and take
ing his station near the edge of the bed, be-
gan to gobble up the blue bottles in double
quick The moment one alighted within six
inches Of the spot he would square himself
for the attack, bis eye twinlzling with excite
ment, and then, with fash of his tongus
and smack ofhis mouth, the unlucky insect
would disappear. The boy was asleep when
this commenced, but soon awoke, and was
at frst'frightened at the 'ugIy toad so near
him; but our friend bade him be quiet and
pointed out the service the creature was rem
dering him, when the negro and all present
voted him member of the Commission,
with many thanks, and his kindred were at
once i'll high favor. -r

In boring for tile oil, fine vein of port wine

not wanting indications Ct a fertile yield Of

to secure an honorable peace. Commits
sioners having heretofore been refused by
the United States on the ground of recog-
milton of the Confederacy, this objection is
sought to be removed in the resolutions by
appointing commissioners on the part Of
this State, whose civil existence and author
ity have never been denied.
