SOMETHING NEw.-We have lust been cyan

SOMETHING NEw.-We have Just been exam.
ining g Beal g. Buelrs Patent American Horse
Shoe" of which We had seen considerable of late
in the agricultural and scientific papers Its
merit is its simplicity of construction, and the
ease with which it can be put on, or taken of
the horses hoof. Any farmer, being supplied
with set of these shoes, can put them on and
take them off with the same ease that he can pu,
ON and OH any piece of harness Another merit
is, that the shoe can never injure the hoof while
1t will stick with more tenacity and frmnes,
than can be attained by the use of nails. Mr.. s.
WILSON, who is now in this city, has the patent
right for few counties for SALE including La
Sale and Bureau. He will remain here until
Tuesday.

LETTER FROM BOWMAN.
TO the CItlzeMs OF La sale County. Greelin

FRIENDS AND PATRONS Having frequently
been solicited to take our Portrait apparatus and
go either into the country or some distance from
the Gallery to make pictures of Dwellings, chur-
ches, &c, at times when it was difficult for us to
leave our business and when our efforts were at
tended with great inconvenience, for want Of
suitable work rooms for our chemicals, and at an
unfavorable season of the year. making it i'm.
possible TO produce as perfect picture as we are
now enabled to make, having Photographic
View Coach and the most approved apparatus,
with everything desirable for producing first class
Diers of any sizes from the Album Card, and
Stereoscopic to the large size byI inchcs suit
able for framing. As the season for "out.door
photography" is governed by the foliage, shall
commence my labors in this branch on Monday
the 9Th of May, and make it speciality for a fep
tseeks only
To Farmers and others in adjoining towns I
shall make special contracts, and offer superior
inducements to get up "club orders" among them
selves, that We may make several views in the
same neighborheod at the same trip. thus saving
US much time i'll travelling, which benefit will
give my patrons the advantage of.
We have in our County many fine residences,
which if photographed, would find their way into
different portions Of our country, and thus give
the fortunate owners, in fact the whole county
notoriety which could be received in no other
way. Our publishers of maps and illustrated
papers, would labor under great disadvantages
were it not for ''out door Photography"
Orders should be left at the Gallery in Chee-
ver's New Building, where Portrait Painting,
Photographing and Ambrotyping, also the Album
and Frame business, will be conducted with the
usual promptness.
Respectfully, &C..

PERsoNAL--We had the pleasure yesterday,
of taking by the hand our friend 8. WILSON,
Esq, editor and publisher Of the Oregon tOyle
Co.. National Guard. We looked upon him with
feeling somewhat akin to awe, as the most
courageous man we know Of He not only bore his
part with marked bravery soldier during the
great rebellion, but at the close of it, had the
courage to commence the publication of sound
democratic paper in so hopelessly benighted
and forbidding region as Osle county and what
astonishes US most of all is, that he is doing
well.

Nor SO.-The report that Jacob Mooney is
selling off his stock at auction arose from the fact
that quite number Of splendid new suits have
been bought of him of late at less than auction

auction stores, when you can buy such goods az
Mooney is selling at his present prices.
