DENTISTRY. The rapid advances in
science is perceptible in every branch OF
business in this age of progression, and
none more so than that of the dental pro-
fession; Notwithstanding the raid of
Goodyear, the vulcanized-rubber man,
having distracted several thousand dol
lars from the bank accounts of the lead
ing dentist of Memphis within the past
two weeks. 1t is jealous and progress
sive profession. We were forciby re-
minded of these advances by visit we
had to the operating r0om5 Of Dr.. 6. Il.
Hurd & Bro. We there saw their new
style of upper plate, so constructed as
not to cover the roof of the mouth, thereby
rendering taste and articulation perfect.
This ingeniously constructed plate
was patented February ~, 1869, by DR..
G. 81. Hurd. DR.. 81. was also one of the
FIRST successful dentists who introduced
Nitrous Oxide or LaughiHg Gas into
Memphis. This gas is so closely allied
to atmospheric air as to free it from all
poisonous elements which both ether and
chloroform contain. Its effects induces
a delightful and refreshing sleep. with
insensibiliiy to pain, and the recovery
from its influence is almost instants-
Deous, aud is perfectly harmless. If ANY
of our readers ever went to sleep in
swing while pendulsting, they have
complete idea of the effects of this
laughing gas.

The Railroad.

A correspondent of the Ohio State
journal, from Perry county, in writ
ing of the Newark railroad move
ment, says:
''The route, if changed at all by
these operations, will more likely
change so as to pass over the old
route via Logan, Macarthur, &c, to
Hamden. That route which is most
direct, and fully as cheap as rival
routes, and which has also the advan-
tage of having several hundred
thousand dollars already expended
upon it, is likely to have fair show
in obtaining the location
The great advantage of this route
over all others is also set forth in the
following extract from the report of
Mr.. Wright, the State Commissioner
of railroads, to-wit:
"On that part of the road between
Jackson and Newark, work had
been done to December, 1855, accord
ing to the estimate of the engineer
ofthe company, to the amount of
S780,604 03, with result of twelve
miles of road ready for use, forty
two miles graded, and thirty seven
miles well advanced"
This is the route, and we trust its
friends will not be idle or lukewarm
in giving it the prominence deman-
ded by its merits.
@ We have to record this week
the death Of an old and respected
citizen of this county-that of Col
JOHN RoADARMoUR, of Harrison
township. He died on Monday
morning last, in the Seth year of
his age. He served in the war of
1812,-went out with the Gallia
county troops, and returned Major
of his regiment. He was good |
citizen, and an honest man. We
hope some one, better acquainted |
with his life and services than we
are, will prepare a biographical
sketch of him.

~ Mr.. E. HUNT, keeper of the
Star Saloon, was seriously beaten by
a negro named Mosely, up town,
Wednesday night, last week. His
skull was fractured, his jaw bone
broken, with other less serious inju-
ries. He was left on the side walk,
where he lay unconscious until morn
ing, some three or four hours.
When found, he was brought to his
Saloon, where his wounds we're
dressed by Docts. JOHN MORGAN and
F. A. CROWLEY. At present writing
he is doing well, with strong hopes
of his recovery.

Salt Packer-A New Invention.

We noticed some weeks since the
invention of Salt Packer, the pro-
duction of three of our city mechan-
les, Messrs. P. RALPH, J. HANNAH,
and LEWIS Billings. Last Satur-
day we were gratified in seeing the
machine work. A barrel of salt was
emptied, and repacked in less than
two minutes. Fifty pounds more Of
salt could have been put into the
same barrel. 1t is packed and then
weighed, without any handling of
the barrel. The whole operation
can be done in from three to four
minutes, and better done than by
the old process, We look upon the
machine as great success-a saving
in time and in barrels-important
considerations in these times of high
laborand stock.
The invention will soon be brought
totheattention of Saltmanufacturers,
and its merits thus more fully test
ed. We believe it will be found
valuable-a great eeonomizer in the
production of Salt.
