over ten years, and do not hesitate to say, that
nothing has yet been developed by medical re-

harmlessly, in cases of female irregularity, as
does this medicine. In al recent cases it never
fails, while thousands who have been long suffer
ers, indebted to it for the boon of health to-
day.
Although powerful and positive, they are
perfectly harmless, and may be used at all times
except when specially forbidden in the directions

the company, and to secure to them, its patrons,
their share of the profits from its business.
ASSESSMENTS OF STOCK.
Only five per cent of the stock will be required
to be paid in at the time of subscription and sub
sequent calls win not exceed ten per cent. per
month After the first payment of five per cent,
no further call will be made until Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars shall have been subscribed.
The company confidently believe that they win
not be compelled to call in more than fifty or six
y per cent. of the subscriptions in order to place
the line in complete working order.
DIVIDENDS.
From carefully prepared estimates, based upon
the amount of business done by the companies
NOW in operation, and giving them equal share
of the business between competing points, the
company confidently believe that large and re-
munerative dividends can be made and they
further believe that, taking into consideration the
great advantages which they will possess in
short and direct route they will be able to
nearly all the business along the line, which will
place the stock at a high premium, and make it
one Of the best investments to be found.
WHEN To be DONE.
The company propose to commence work at an
| early day, and to push it forward rapidly as
possible, and intend to have their lines completed
without delay.
DISTRIBUTION OF DIRECTORS
The stockholders will be represented by Direc-
tors at the principal points of the line.
THE PROSPECT
Is most fattering. The location of the line is
one of the best in the country. 1t passes through
large number of important cities and towns where
commercial intercourse is large and rapidly in
creaslng. The country along the river is receiv-
ing constant accessions of wealth and population,
and these will bring an increase of trade which
must correspondingiy add largely every year to
the business and profits of the company. AIlthe
are now, and have been, paying satisfactory div
idends, on capital stock that has been repeated
edly watered. If these companies, controlled by
| a few wealthy individuals owning nearly all the
stock can do this, it is quite reasonable to sup
pose that a company, owned and managed by iTs
patrons, with its lines dcsrabIy located, and
with limited amount of stock, at least do
| equally well.

A Village Sketch.


Here comes Tom, the crazy man!
Boys, make ready as fast as you can;
Scrape up the dust and throw it before
him,
And mako him believe the wind blows it
DER him;
Then with curses he'll Load the air,
And his horrible blood-shot eyes will glare,
AZ il he were putting IL host to rout.
Poor old Tom, tho crazy man,
with his long gray hair and his face like
tan,
Has roamed, tho target OF sportivc jccrs.
About the village for years and years.
whenever ho passes tho cross roads store.
The lonngcrs within all crowd to the door,
And ply him with questions to rouse his ire
And sec him grow rcd likc the blacksmith's
fire.
Some OF the villagers-grav old men
Say they remember the lunatic when
ne was sound OF mind and comely OF mien;
Only tn think such time has Lcenl
But now even they, in spite Of themselves,
Laugh when tho boys, like mischicvous
elves,
Tease him with pranks till ho roars with
rage,
And then with kindness his anger assauge.
Poor old Tom! a fresh hcaped mound,
In the church-yard, tells OF the rest Inc has
found.
There, with his head 'g.inst moss grown
stone,
He lay ono morning, cold and alone.
As they tore his ragged shirt apart,
10 feel, If they might, the beat OF his
heart,
They found lockct OF soft brown hair.
Tied by ribbon, suspended there;
And tho namc engraved thereon, they say,
Was tho Same that was carved on the
stone where lie lay.

CONSTITUTION MENDING.- is
much discussion in New York touch
ing the amendment Of the constitu-
ton of that State, for which pur-
pose convention now elected is
soon to meet. In this convention
the Republicans have some forty
majority. An important question
under discussion is, in the language
of the Herald, whether the reform m
shall "be directed only to clearing
away the calendars, or shall it reach
the root of the evil, sweep away the
elective system, and place the judi
ciary above the influence of politics
and ont Of the reach of partisans."

HEINITSHS CELEBRATED
GERMAN HORSE POWDER
For all Diseases 10 which Horse is Liable.

NHE various diseases to which that no.
Il Bile and useful animal, tho horse, is
subject, and the little knowledge that is
known of them by farriers and ignorant
ostlers, have occasioned many remedies to
be offered to tho public under different
forms, with high encomums, and sane
toned by digniiicd names. Some of these
are injurious; others, at best, of little use,
and many entirely worthless, and do not
meet the want. A good medicine, free
from objections of this kind, has long been
desired by many gentlemen who have va
liable horses. We therefore offer the only
good medicine-the truo "GERMAN N
HORSE POWDER" which has proved SO
efficacious in all tho diseases. 1t is pro-
pared from the original recipe of DR.. Hei-
nitsh, OF Germany. It's extraordinary vir-
tues arc attosted to by thousands, and for
nifty years has stood, and still stands, fi. st
in the estimation of all experienced farm
ers and agriculturists as the best medicine
for tho horse. 1t is recommended for
horses foundered by eating to excess or
drinking cold water when heated, to such
as have symptoms of glandcrs or are ex-
posed to the infection by being with other
horses, for Indigestion, distemper, hide
bound, drOwsiness, loss OF appetite, inward
sprans, debility, wasting of flesh, sore
eyes, swelled logs, grease, mango, surfeit,
old coughs, for exhaustion from work. 1t
carries off all foul humors, purifics and
coois tho blood, and prevents horses be-
lus for weak stomachs, and renders the
limbs and skin soft and fine, giving a
smooth coat to the hair. Ask for ''Hei-
nitshs German Horse Powder" For sale

THF NEWEST FAsH1oNs.-A lady
correspondent writes of the New
York fushions:
''Some of the new fashions pro-
mise to be hideously ugly. For in-
stance, that which admits of the
skirt and waist of dress being of
one color, aud the sleeves and petit
coat OF another, thus forming glar-
ing contrast, is one. A gray skirt
and waist, with cherry sleeves and
under-skirt, is n combination of tints
very much affected ut tho present
time. AS novelty, it will do, but
the odd-looking sleeves put one un-
comfortably in mind of horseback
eying costume, and I marvel very
much when I see modest young
girl willing to run the gauntlet Of
criticism of men who lounge about
hotel doors and windows, by adopting
fashion like this, one which is out,e
and pronounced in the extreme"

takes quantity Of molasses to the

girl OF seventeen, with her saddle on
