INFALLBLE CURE FOR TooTHACHE.-Those
of our readers who have felt the excruciating
pains of this disease, and who, like ourself,
have experienced but little human sympathy
on such occasions, will no doubt be grati6e
to be in possession of remedy which will,
in all probability, forever quiet the unmer-
ciful offender. On one occasion, while labor
ing under the torture of this distressing dis
ease, friend entered our room, and after
learning the cause of our suffering, joyously
exclaimed:
why, my dear friend, can cure you in
FIVE minutes"
How? how ~ inquired we.
g Have you any alum ?"
" Yes.n
Bring it, and some common salt"
They were produced Our. friend pulver
lied them, and mixed in equal quantities
then wet q small piece of cotton, causing the
mixed powder to adhere, and placed it il
the hollow tooth. There" said he, e If
that does net cure will forfeit my head"
1t was as he predicted. On the introduc
ton of the mixed alum and salt, sensation
of coldness was experienced, which grad
ually subsided, and with it the torment 0

STRANGE RENcoNTER.-One of those
chastity romances which occur only in real
life happened last night at the station house.
A man who had been arrested for assault
was bailed out, and just as he was leaving
the prison, o woman with young child in
her arms was broughtin in on a charge of being
drunk in the streets. The names of the man
and woman were the same, and the prison
keeper, in Joke, said to the man, - look
here comes your wife !" The man did look.
and SO earnestly that the prison keeper asked
him, "Do you know the woman ?'' AYE
that do l." was the reply, and going up to
her he said Mary is that you? Whose
child is that in your arms?" The woman
started, and even in her maudlin drunken
ness. recognized and shrank from her hus-
band whom she had deserted three years
ago. The story is a sad one-three years
ago the man, miner, had gone to the noun
tains, leaving his wife here. He never set
ewes upon her again until he saw her last
night in the station house. After the first
shock was over the woman appeared disposed
to brazen the matter out, and told him he
could get divorce, a course which he at
once declared his intention OF taking. lie
asserted that she had always been drunk
ard, and that Gil he wanted was to be legally
rid of her. So after three years separation
the husband and wife parted again, she to
sleep off her drunken fit in a cell, and he to
devise means of procuring a divorce from
hers r. Times,

A BUSINESS. LIKE CoURTsHIP.-There is &
story extant about five minutes courtshiE
between a thriving and busy merchant, of q
watering place in England, and lady, fol
whom, as conjunction with deceased friend
be was q trustee. The lady called at his
counting house, and said that her business
was to consult him on the propriety or other
wise of her accepting offer of marriage
which she had received Now, for the first time,
occurred to the Bristol merchant the idea Of
this holy estate in his own case.
Marriage" said he, listlessly turning
over some West India correspondence
Well, | suppose every body ought to marry,
though such thing never occurred to me
before Have you given this gentleman an
affirmative answer ?"
"No."
Are your feelings particularly engaged
In the matter ?''
" Not particularly"
well, then, madam" said he, turning
round on his Office stool, ''f that be the case
and if you could dispense with courtship, for
which | have no time, and think you could
be comfortable with me, l am your humble
servant to command"
There were people who thought that the
lady had purpose in going there, but if So
she prudently disguised it. She said she
would consider the matter. The Bristol
merchant saw her out with the same GOODNESS
as if she were one of his correspondents, and
when she was gone five minutes, was once
more immersed in his letters and ledgers.-
A day or two after, he had letter from the
lady, accepting his offer, very considerably
excusing him from an elaborate courtship,
and leaving him to name the ''most con-
venient day"
They were married.

Caution to the Unfortunate

Beware of the San Francisco quucks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates, dupe
the unwary. Some Of the sef-styled doctors,
whose names are to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places, are tradesmon and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some tinsmiths, shoemakers
newspaper carriers, intelligence Office Keepers &C.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it, Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1868. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-t will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets for,
advertising physicians in eight out of ten
are bogus, there is DO safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are. Dr.
Gibbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
titles. certificates, pretended patients letters &C.
Dr. Gibbon will satisfy persons who may call at
his office of his ability to treat diseases that he
proposes to cure.
