 DR. JOHN BuLL-Dedr Sir: l have recent ly given your "Worm Destroyer" several trials, and find it wonderfully effcacious. It has not failed in single instance to have the wished-for effect. am doing a pretty large country practice, and have daily use for some article of the kind am free to confess that I know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On the contrary they are un- certeain in the extreme. My object in writ ing you is to find upon what terms I can get the medicine directly from you. If can get it upon easy terms, shall use a great deal of it. l am aware that the use of such articles is contrary 10 tho teachings and practice of great majority of the regUiar line of NJ. D. 8, but see no just cause or good sense in dis cardng a remedy which we know to be efii- cient, simply because we may be ignorant of its combination. For my part, shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which I may be able to eommand--not hesitating because some one more ingenious than myself may have learned it's effects first. and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge. However, 1 am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the country, tlTat pUrport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. am, sir, most respectfully,

Special Notice.

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- it from it. It gives us much pleasure to be able in this manner to recommend to d<xl peo- pie these remedies, as 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 Bitters, (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, (Hmley's,) cannot be equalled; any child will take it. So it is with Dr. Seabrook's Soothing Syrup. the best and safest now offered, as no bad effects ever oc- cur from using it. Mothers try one bottle and in future you will get no other. Also Dr. Seabrook's Elixir of Pyrophosphate of iron and Calasaya; also Dr. Bettison's Eng. Horse Liniment, and James Puddle X Cos Ext. Jam. Ginger All the above remedies are unequalled; we cannot understand why their remedies might not as well be taken in the special diseases for which they are recom- mended, with as much confidence as the pre- scription of regular physician.

n.x-nAY CELEBRATION.

The dawn of the month of flowers
 was as bright and pleasant as heart
 could wish. Early in the morning the
 little children were clapping their hands with joy at the bright prospects before them. At about 9 o'clock, ac- eording to previous arrangement, the sabbath School assembled at the Meth odist Church, where they were formed in procession--each class in order then marched through town, thence hack to the Church, where they were addressed by N. B. Gair and Rev. Mir
 Kennedy; after which they repaired to the public square where sumptu- ous dinner was spread upon the ground
 to which all did full justice. Dinner over, old and young joined in games and plays, each vieing with the other, as if to see which could give the most pleasure or receive most joy. Alto gether 1t was pleasant sight The large crowd of little children, their faces frightened with the hope of pleas ure, led by their respective teachers 1; the beautiful banner borne at the head ofthe column, tastefully arranged and appropriately inscribed, was indeed well worth looking upon. The dinner was complete success, and under the supervision of the lady manager could not fail to give satisfaction to every one present. Time and space will not allow detailed description of all that happened. It is enough to say that old and young were glad alike; the joyous laugh of childhood called up a smile to parents faces; young men and maidens caught inspiration from the mirth of children, and pleasure beamed in every face. When in the evening all returned home we are sure it was with regret that the day ended so soon, and a wish that May-day were early here again.
 This day is emphatically a jubilee day to the citizens of Des Arc, old and young day long to be remembered, awakening "reminiscences of other and better days, when we were young and things were not as they now are. May its influences be felt for good in years to come. We have heard many ora tions on the first day of May, but the one delivered by N. E. Gair to-day surpassed in appropriateness ot lan- guage, manner of delivery, aptness of thought, and pathos of feeling, any thing we nave ever heard on any simi- lac occasioa; VIC doubt whether it could be excelled. Also the remarks made by Rev. MT. Kennedy were chaste, appropriate, and well-timed, evineing an ease and readiness of thought and word highly befltting the occasion. We think everybody went away not only pleased, but delighted with the May-day celebration at Des Are. May this occasion inspire the children and teachers of the Sunday Schools here with renewed resolution and determination to higher and more efficient efforts in their noble enter prize. A SPECTATOR.

IIAMuTIc FAMILY ABoARD-A Mo- HORNED Cow - CONTRADICTORY NAMEs-ATTRAcTIoN OF OUR ATTEN TIoN-EFC.
 The Rowena moves with ease, grace ard buoyancy this evening. Most all skif's do move that way when others are rowing them. She has made the trip so often from here to the mouth of the Bayea that there would be no great danger were you to allow her to run from the Bayou down to town without a pilot. This is grave fact.
 Dick, our genial and efficient pilot, thinks that the skiif will run against the bank in less than an hour if the bank is not moved back. He is led to shis conclusion from the fact that it was run upon the bank once before, {he bank not being moved back i'll time 10 prevent. We hope his fears are not well founded.
 We think there is member of the Hamitic family aboard. We have heard nobody say, but one of the row CTS says he is not a white man; and from the shape of his head, his general appearance and conversation, we con- clude that he is surcharged with the odeur d Afrique of the latest and most approved scent,
 We have just had ocular demonstra- tion of the fact that there is such a thing in the world as no-horned COW. She was on her way home we suppose We threw 6 chunk at her but she made no reply.
 Black and White rivers, whose names arc so contradictory, unite al Jacksonport, in this State. They will run together hereafter.
