Young ladies were converted in tent near
a lively young minister. The girls are
now making sundry ominous preparations
for an importantevent, about to take place,
while the girls fathers have gone TO Iowa
on trail of the minister, each armed with
double barreled shot gun. They want
TO thank him some little for his ''sutler lit
tie children etc. The name of the di>
vine is Tressly, and if be sees two joyous,
faced shot.gunists coming that way, he'd
better send them up some other road or
send his mother some mourning goods,
If anybody can give any information cons
corning this ministerial Turk, we advise
them to address it to the Journal above
named.-Des Moines Register.

1t is said that Calisaya Bark has a
peculiar effect upon the liver, and guards
the system against diseases by exposure
and irregular diet 1t is conceded that
the great success of the wonderful PLAN
TATIoN BITTERs, which, previous to our
late unhappy difficulties, was found IN
most southern homes, was owing TO the
extract of Calisaya Bark which it con-
tanned as one Of the principal Ingredients.
In confirmation of this we have heard one
of our distinguished Physicians remark,
that whenever he felt unwell from ordin-
ary dietetic or atmospheric causes, he
invariably relieved himself by PLANTA-
rloN BlrTERs. We speak adyisedly when
we say that we know it to be the best and
most popular medicine iD the world.
