FINE BLANK BooKs.-Our Book
Binders have just finished number Of
Blank Books for County officers and
for individuals, which defy successful
competition, and we invite merchants,
business men, bankers, steamboatmen
and County and City. officers to call
and examine them They are made Of
the best material and in the most sub
stantial and workmanlike manner,
and are exquisitely finished.
The JOURNAL Book Binders are fin-
ished workmen, gentlemen who served
regular apprenticeship of seven
years, receiving their instruction from
master Book-Biaders and blank book
manufacturers, and have had long ex-
perience as journeymen, and thor
oughly understand their business
Messrs. Gorse and Ernst need not be
ashamed of their productions in the
blank book line We direct the espec-
ial attention of steamboat officers,
and County officers to our Bindery and
Job Printing establishment. We
honestly believe they are not equalled
by any establishment of the kind be-
tween Cincinnati and the Gulf of
Mexico.
BUSINESS DIRECTORY. = Messrs.
Ammon & Cakes, couple of young
gentlemen recently arrived in our
city, have shown us sample of Bust
ness Directory TO which they are de-
voting their attention A canvas is
prepared upon which the business
cards of subscribers is printed-in
size II by 91A inches-44in beautiful
oil-colors. The size of the canvas
will be regulated by the number of
subscribers obtained This is a very
snowy way Of advertising, and where
sufficient number of copies are
printed must have the effect to attract
the attention of purchasers, The
young gentlemen assure us that they
have met with good success in Fort
Wayne and other cities, and feel san
guine that they will not fail in Evans
vile. New Albany is represented by
four of these directories. and thew are
confident Evansville will not prove
less energetic in the advertising way.
Our city will be canvassed by the
young gentlemen, who will more fully
explain the operations to all who may
feel interested

ON CHANGE. There was a good at
tendance at the Board of Trade yes
terday. A great many samples of
-four were on exhibition, but no sales
were effected The time was spent
mostly in pleasant discussion in
regard to business and trade, after
which the Board adjourned to meet
to-day at the Office of Sharpe & Smith
at 3 O. clock.
Too much Importance can not be
attached to this move. The great i'm
portance of Board of Trade or Mer-
chants Exchange, has long been felt
and acknowledged in this city. All
efforts before have failed, but we have
good reason to believe that this will
prove a success, from the fact that it
was put into practical operation at
once Every day at 3 o'clock the
market reports from Cincinnati and
New York are read-a matter of i'm
portance to all business men. All are
invited to attend to-day who feel an
interest in the success of the Ander-
taking. ~

His infIhitable preparation of Sarsapa-

rious compounds of that valuable drug.
His Compound of wild Cherry has be-
come q household word throughout the
West and South. ti as}s 81 s4a
His Worm Lozenges, in less than year
after their Introduction, attained reputa-
ton as widespread as the continent OF
North America.
But the crowning glory of his life re-
manned to be attained in his latest disccv-
cry. or rather combination, for he does not
claim to be the discoverer of CEDRON,
which is the basis of the Bitters now offer
ed to the public. That honor belongs to
the native Inhabitants of Central America,
to whom its virtues have been known for
more than two hundred years. Armed
with it, the Indian bids defiance to the
most deadly malaria, and handles without
fear the most venomous serpents. 1t is
belief with them that while there is breath
left in the body the CEDRON is potent TO
cure, no matter what the disease may be.
While DIR. Bull is not prepared to tndorse
this extravagant pretension, he is never
theless satisfied, from a thorough examin-
alton of the evidence relating to its virtues,
that as a remedy and preventive for all
diseases arising from exposure, either to
changes of weather and climates or to the
miasmatic influence, it stands without 9
rival and Justly deserves the reputation 1t
has so long enjoyed in Central America
and the West Indies fsss.sf. .bs4aieszs.
In DYSPEPSIA, and its attendant train
of symptoms, it acts more like a charm
than medicine. There is nothing in the
range of Materfa Medica that can for q
moment bear a comparison with it in this

A series of experiments, in which DR..
Bun has been for years engaged, has just
been brought to successful termination,
and he Ii now enabled to offer to the public
a combination of Cedr0n with other ap-
best Quality of 8copper-distilled Bourbon
Whisky. which he is confident has no
equal in the world. He might furnish
volume of certificates, but the public has
long since learned to estimate such things
at their true value. The safest plan IS Tor
every one to test for himself the virtues OF
a new medicine. - f7fFts 500 ~
