gram from New York, April Is, has just

consul states that he cannot learn that
there is or has recently been a single case
of cholera in England, and therefore he
concludes that the disease was not the res

Every Age has its Wonder,

And this has produced it's. in Warre,ss s
Patent Soap; which. by the casual observ-
err, has until recently been but ittleregard-
ed; but recent tdevelopements is producing
its wonder. When we consider the vast
amount of labor, and the slow process by
which the wearing apparel, and the va
rious other fabrics used by mankind. have
weekly and daily been cleansed. and then
see that few simple substances chemical
ly combined. will thoroughly cleanse all
cotton, silk or wooden fabrics and threads,
in such au incredibly short time. and al
most without labor, the wonder is appa-
rent. This Soap. also. in the speed and
eheapness of its manufacture, rivals all
others.
1t will give thorough satisfaction in eve
ry case where the proper direction for its
use are strictly followed. ANY failure to
produce the desired effect. and pledged for
it, is only attributable to neglect in follow
ing the proper directions for its use. And
il is no less superior TO all other soaps in
the toilet, than in the tub.
This wonderful soap may be had in any
desired quantity by all wishing to try its
superior qualities, upon the shortest rea-
sonablo notice, of YoCNG. sole propriet or
of the right TO manufacture and sell it in
| this county. at his headquarters, at DR..
Merrick's drug store, in Ottumwa, Iowa.
He will also furnish family rights to man
ufacture these soaps for their own use, upon
reasonable terms.
Mr.. Young is a thorough gentleman and
is as worthy of public patronage as the
soap is of the high reputation ii is entitled
to. SAM'L GOSSAGE.

PRICE OF PRoPERTY.--There is q way
to build a town; and there is way to des-
troy its prospects. Ifthose who own lots
and houses to sell, hold them atunreason-
able prices they kill the town and sew up
their own pockets. How strange it is,
there are so many men, owners of proper
ty in western towns, who are such misera-
bic econbmists! Many will hold their lots
at such prices as to drive away mechanics
and young men just beginning the world;
and the very men needed to build up a
town. Supposea man owns six vacant
10, 5; If he will sell three at reasonable pri-
ces, does he not know that this will in
crease the real value of the remaining
three? But suppose he holds them at five
hundred dollars. when they are really
worth only three hundred, Of what profit
is it to him to hold them and pay taxes on
tf1err? and SO Keep back the growth ofthe
town? The wise man said, "He that with
ho!deth corn, the people shall curse him:
but blessing shall be upon the head of him
that selleth it. ............ .e...
