EsS~ On last Tuesday gentleman of color, by the name of Henry Eberhardt, hired horse from the stable of I. F. Weller. of this place, to go four or five miles into the country. He never took up until he reached Devall's Bluff, where he tried to sell the horse. Fail ing in this he crossed the river, leav- ing the horse with the ferryman, telling him that if he did not return before Saturday he could have him. Mr. Mi zell, who pursued him, found the horse and brought it back. The negro, after crossing the river, came up opposite Des Arc and re-crossed the river about night, asking negro acquaintance 10 hide him until boat came up.

 DR. JOHN BuLL-Dedr Str: l have recent ly given your ..Worm Destroyer" several trials, and find it wonderfully etiicacious. It has not failed in single instance to have the wished for effect. l am doing pretty large country practice, and have daily nse for some article of the kind. l am free to confess that l know of no remedy recommended by the ablcst 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 l can get the medicine directly from you. If can get it upon easy terms, l shall use a great deal of it. ] am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of Q great majority of the regular line of NJ. D. S, but see no just cause or good sense in dis carding remedy which we know to be efh- cient, simply because we may he ignorant of it's combination. For my part. l shall make it rule to use ali and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which may be able to command-not hesitating becaGse some one more ingenious than myself may have learned its effects first and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge. However, am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that food tue country, that purpori to cure all manner of disease 10 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 10 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. It gives us much pleasure 10 be able in this manner to recommend to our 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 its effect and ever falls to cure if used by directions. Try it. Also his Worm Candy, (Hurley's,) cannot be equalled; any child will take it. So it is with Dr. Seabroci'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. AisS Dr. Seabrook's Elixir of Pyrophosphste of iron and Calasaya; also Dr. Bettison's : Eng. Horse Eminent, and James Puddle & Co.'S Ext Jam. Ginger. All the above remedies are unequalled; we cannot understand why their remedies might not ss well be taken in the special diseases for which they are recon mended, with as much confidence as tho pre- scrirticn of a regular physician.
