TO PARENTS. = LOUISVILLE, Oct.
ls6S.-Messrs. james Ruddle & Co.--Gentle-
men We have for some time been using
your DIR. SEABHOOR'S INFANT SOOTH-

For curing collie, removing pain, quicting

other remedies we have ever used. II b
very pleasant 10 the taste, while most rem

LEcTUREs.-We have the pleasure
Of announcing to our readers that
they will very soon be favored with a
most gratifying and intellectual en-
tertainment. The Rev. Mr.. Plat,
of Louisville, KY, has kindly con-
scented to deliver two lectures at
Franklin Hall, ON the evenings of
the Goth and 21st of this month";
Subject: 1.-THE Characters of Richie
lieu and Mahomet."
The character of Mr.. Plat is too
well known to require any eulogy in
in advance of his coming, and it
would be hard for any lecturer to select
more captivating theme than the
delineation of the character of two of
the most remarkable men of ancient
or modern times. The proceeds of
those lectures will be appropriated to-
wards the payment of the balance
yet due for the beautiful and necessary
addition that has lately been made
to the Episcopal church, in Clarks-
vile. We hope to see the Hall filled
to overlooking, as well for the sake of
the charity as to give warm and
complimentary welcome to our city
of one of the most intellectual and
eloquent clergymen Of our country.
Tickets will, we learn, be offered at
the reduced price of so cents, that all
may attend and enjoy rich intellec-
tuaI repast.

The BRIDGE QUEsTIoN.-A char
ter has been obtained to build bridge
across Red river, justabove the mouth
of West Fork. "By the provisions of
the charter the company are author
lied, upon the subscription of $40, 900
stock, TO issue mortgage bonds to the
amount of $25, 200, which shall be a
lien upon the bridge" For want of
space we make synopsis of publish
ed letters from r. w. Humphreys,
Esq, and Mr.. j. B. Tapscott, Civil
Engineer. The bridge is incorpo-
rated as a toll-bridge, and il is believ-
ed will be a paying investment TO the
stock holders. 1t will not conflict
with the interests of other bridges,
but by an increase Of trade and travel
will enhance the profits of other toll
bridges, and add much to the prosper
ity of our city.
Mr.. Tapscott, reliable gentleman
and an accomplished engineer, has
made an examination of the pro-
posed site, and speaks favorably of
the point, and thinks all the work
connected with the bridge can be done
under peculiar Neutrality-suspicious. and
timber of good quality for the purpose
being within few hundred yards of
the proposed location.
All friends Of the scheme are re-
quested to meet at the Courthouse
in this city, on Saturday, oath inst,
to take action in the matter. All
who feel an interest in the prosperity
of the town should attend.

Thousand ills that flesh is heir to-" none
equal this wonderful preparation. Only Is
years have passed since the discoverer (who
spont decade in studying experimenting
and perfecting it, first introduced IL TO the
public, and IL Is already recognized by the
most eminent physicians In all parts of
the country, to be the most surprising and
effective remedy for certain diseases of
which they have knowledge.
All other Compounds or Syrups of this
root have hitherto failed TO command the
sanction of the Faculty, because on being
tested they have been found to contain
noxious ingredients, which neutralize the
good effects of the Sarsaparilla and often
times injure the health of the patient. 1t
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
n certain and perfect cure of the following
complaints:
Affections OF the Bones, Habitual
Costiveness, Debility, Diseases of
the Kidneys, Dyspepsia, Fry
sipelas, Female Irregular
tiles, Fistula, all Skin
Diseases, Liver

Interesting to Wool Growers.

Messrs. Justics, BatemGn & Co.,
Wool Brokers, l22 s. Front
Street, Philadelphia, have been
sending out 10 their correspond
ents over the country the follow
circular letter. copy ofwhieh has
been forwarded us for publication
by our friend Mr.. G. W. Hatcher,
Of Bremen, together with sample
of wool referred to therein. We
publish it as a matter Of interest
to our wool growers.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. !, 1869.
DEAR SIR
Enclosed is a sample of comb
ing wool grown in Illinois, and
worth 5na53c to-day in our mar
ket in the unwashcd condition.
The demand for these wools is in
ereasing 90 rapidly that it will bo
impossible for the American farm
ers to supply enough Of them for
years to como.
Three. fourth blood woods arc
now grown in excess Of the wants
ofthe country, and soon California
and Texas will raise enormous
quantities Of this quality, and
probably cause further reduction
in the price. If our farmers in
the present wool-growing sections
wish to raise wool at profit,
they can do so quito easily, and
with but slight expense ih making
tho change.
Let thom buy of the Canada far
mers young f.eicostcrshire bucks
at a cost Of So to $40 each, and
cross them with their medium and
coarse wool ewes, and They will
produce sheep valuable Tor mutton
and bearing tho wool most wanted
and sure to command high price.
These sheep will be hardy, but
they should be sheltered from tho
storms in winter, and fed on turnips
and other roots rather than corn.
that tho wool staple may be
