White river for the past week has been declining, but very slowly. The Mississippi above Keokuk rising; at and below Memphis it lacks 22l5 inches of being up to the high water mark of last year.
 Weather is quite seasonable-slight rain this week did not throw farming back much. Prospects good last eyen ing foranother shower. The cold nights are very encouraging to the cut-worm, which has been wasting in our gardens.
 Wheat crops, though scattering, are good. Corn is gradually predominant ing ir our fields, owing to the industry of our farmers, who, as they say, have overcome GENERAL GhEEN,

We tender them our good wishes and renewed thanks for favors.

 We wish to call the attention of our readers to the column advertisement headed .Purify Your Blood. to all the articles mentioned in it. All those afflicted by disease, or who have friends suffering from sickness, should care fully read, and we know they will derive pro- fit from it. II gives us much pleasure to be able in this manner to recommend to our peo- pie these remedies, IS years of trial show they fully deserve. Dr. Thos. A. Hurley's Sarsaparilla, the Great Blood Purifier, needs only to be tried to be fully appreciated. His Bitlers, (Hurley's,) are the best and purest now offered for sale. For debility and loss of appetite no others ought to be used. Hurley's Ague Tonic is harmless in it's effect and never fails to cure if used by directions. Try it.. Also his Worm Candy. (lIuiley's,1 cannot be equallcd; any child will take it. So it is with Dr. Seahrook's Soothing Syrup, the best and safest now offered az no bad effects ever oc- cur from using it. Mothers try one bottle, and in future you win get no other. Also Dr. Seabrook's Elixir of Pyrophosphate of iron and Calasaya; also Dr. Bettsons Eng. Horse Liniment, and James Puddle < Co.'S Ext Jam.

pS~ No authentic history of our late struggles has yet reached the public. Our readers who shared those trials greatly desire a true and philosophic exposition of their motives and actions. No work upon sucha subject can claim greater prestige on account of it's lofty origin than the Official History of the War its causes, character and results, &e., by Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, now being issued by the National Pub fishing Company, 5l3 Olive street, St. Louis. The bare mention of the wri- ter's name is sufficient guarantee for its purity and authenticity. The stand point he occupied during the war, was unsurpassed, for observing the minutia and details of tho working of the Gov ernment we loved. We would advise all to send for a circular, and get full description of so valuable a work.

On the contrary they are un- certeain in the extreme. My object in writ ing you is to find upon what terms l can get the medicine directly from you. If can get il upon easy terms, shall use great deal of it. I am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to tho teachings and practice of a great majority of the segaiar line of NJ.

However, am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums thr flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir.

PURIFY YOUR BLOODlII
25iirlsy's Sarsaparilla,

OF all the remedies that have been discov- cred during the present age for the Thousand ills that flesh is heir to, none equal this won- derful preparation. Only ten years have elapsed since the discoverer (yho spent 8 decade in studying experiments, and perfect ing it.) first introduced it to the public, and it is already recognized by the most eminent physicians in all parts of the country tc be themost surprising and effective remedy for certain diseases of which they have knowl- edge.
 All other Compounds or Syrnps of this root have hitherto failed to command the sanction of the Faculty, because, on being tested, they have been found to contain noxious ingredi- ents, which neutrslixe the good effects of the Sarsaparilla, anc oftentimes injure the health of the patient. It is not So with Hurley's preparation.
 This is the pure and genuine extract of the root and will, on trial, be found to effect q certain and perfect cure ofthe following com plaints and diseases.
 Affection of the Bones, Hsa bituaI COStfveness, Diseases of the
 Kidneys, Dyspepsia. Fry
 slpeias. Female Hrreg-
 ulariaies. Fistuia,

Having had indubtable evidence of it's prompt and certain effects from the testimo- ny of a multitude of respectable citizens, among whom are classed some of our best physicians, we do not hesitate to recommend this Preparation in all cases of Fever and Ague and Chills and Fever: indeed, from the facts in our possession of its intrinsic value, it would not be too much for us to state that when the directions are strictly complied with, we warrant a cure in every case where it is tried. It is pleasant to the taste, and the cheapest medicine in the world, There fore, in truth, it may be declared the day is not far distant when it must be appreciated and used in every household where Fever and Ague or Chills and Fever is found to exist.
 The wonderful operation of the Texas Ton ic Syrup in neutralizing the effects of mala rious poison in the human system, can only explain it's extraordinary agency in the speedy, thorough and permanent cure of Chlls and Fever or Fever and Ague, and all their kindred diseases, in whatever form of Bilious Complaints they may make their ap- pearance.
 As it's name imports, it is Tonic of rare and medicinal virtues, composed of pure and harmless ingredients, and are so united as to form n compound alike skillfal in art, beau tiful in appearance and can be taken with

 The reports from hundreds of Druggists, Merchants and Dealers, from all parts of the country, are uniform in stating the medicine is safe, certain and reliable, as a substitute for Qunine and the poisonous compounds heretofore generally sold, and is rapidly supplanting everything of this class.
 As home enterprise it especially com mends itself to the people of this section of the country, who are now struggling in an effort to do away with old prejudiees in favor of foreign produce, and may we not hope foreign 'sQuack Nostr,ms,n the proprietors of which. in most cases are governed by no- thing but mereenary motives, know nothing of the properties of Medicinal Agents, and care nothing for our interests, except to en- tice our people into the use of their vile mixtures.
