COTTON PLANTER.
WE have just received samples, from the manufae-
w turers, of the above celebrated COTTON PLAN
TER, for which the following is cuimed:
LIST, It will plant crop of Cotton with onequarter
the quantity OF seed required by the old plan and at
the same time fails to insure perfect stand
of young plants.
I'd, Ore man and mule will do the work of three
men and, two mules in the old method of planting.
I'd, Ir consequence of the seed being planted in a
straight drill, the labor of after cultivation is
greatly diminished, the plants grow to a more uni
form height, head lager, fill heavier and are more
easily picked.
AL 1t is easily held the ridge, and will work
cessuIly hill-sides, beds and circle rows;
also in sumpy land that has been some two three
years in cultivation; and by preceding it with good
noothed harrow, it will operate well stiff clod-

A FIRST CLASS LONDON FoG.-The following is from,
q London letter dated December %:
!" I have this week had the satisfaction of expert
encing first class London fog. For the last few
years the character OF this insuton has been retro
grading, and had witnessed none that we could not
have got up well at home. On Thursday however,
we were INDUCED with one That lid ample credit to
its historical ancestors The oldest inhabitants say
that has been very many years Since there has been
equal TO it.
The effect produced not like that of the ordi-
nary darkness, but one was enFeloped in sort Of
cloud that If it could not be absolutely felt could be
and tasted. The effect upon the eyes and lungs
very sensible and even painful. The streets for
time simply impossible, oritwas impossible to
see ten feet in advance. The only way to make pro-
gresswas by getting close possible to the shop
fronts the gasighs from which barely enabled one to
move slowly without coming into actual collision with
other pedestrians.
The fog lasted the whole day. (quite an unusual oc
currence) and extended throughout the entire city
and suburbs. The sight from distant emnence was
marvellous. One knew that the mighty city was there
beneath his gaze but nothing gave token of its exis
tence not solitary spire to Indicate where its
great centre or where It's barest outline was. One
looked down only vast sea Of yellow cloud, and

eases and Nervous Debility his study for the past
twenty years, and is therefore the person whom
all afflicted should consult. No one ever heard
of a patient of his not being cured since he has
been in this city. His reputation has vouchers in
all the city papers, his patients and the medical
profession, both here and abroad, as being the
most skilled specialist here, and q thorough mas
ter of all sexual diseases. If all others fail dom
despair, give him cell. 1t is only a common oc-
currence with him to cure such cases. His rooms
are separate for ladies and gentlemen, and the
most complete in the city.
YOUNG MIN, TAKE PARTICULAR NoTIcK.-Dr.
Bigelow devotes much of his time to the treat
ment of those cases caused by secret habit,
which ruins both body and mind, uniting the
unfortunate individual for either business or socie-
ty. The sad effect of these early habits, of the
excess of riper years, is to weaken and debilitate
the constitution. destroy the physical and mental
powers diminish and enfeeble the natural feel
ings and exhaust the mental energies of man
hood: the pleasures of life are marred, the object
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself
rendered a term of unceasing misery and regret.
Such persons. especially those contemplating mar
riage should lose no time in making immediate
applications, as DR.. b by his new treatment, is
enabled to insure a speedy and permanent cure.
