THE Queen of Belgium, it is said has
regained the affections of her royal hus-
band by the great self-abnegation which
she devoted herself to nursing his insane
sister Charlotte. Three years ago cool
ness had arisen between the Queen and
King which threatened to lead to perma-
nent separation. For whole year they
treated each other in the most frigid man
ner, but when the Queen brougt Charlotte
from Miramar to the Palace of Lacken,
and the King kad embraced his poor sister,
he turned to his wife, who had averted her
face, and was hardly able to restrain her
tears. He laid his hand on her shoulder
and whispered few words in her ear, and
the Queen, with streaming eyes but a
radiant face, threw herself into his arms.
From that day forward they have treated
each other again as if they were once more
ardent young lovers.

CASES OF CoNsCIENcE.-There is a
man in Benedicta, Maine, who raises a
large quantity of apples every year, and
sells them for fifty cents bushel, as he
thinks that is about what they are worth,
while he might often get more than four
times as much Neither will he sell more
than four or FIVE bushels to one person, as
he is determined his apples shall not be
speculated upon. We also know a man
says the Machais Republican, who sells his
potatoes at so cents bushel and no more.
He says the Almighty revealed to him,
face to face, that if he made practice of
that, his potatoes should never rot, and he
says they never have

Courts of that county last month. Itappears

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus swornto certificates, dupe
the unwary. Some of the self-styled doctors,
whose names to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places, are tradesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some are tinsmiths, shoemakers
newspaper carriers, intelligence Office keepers, &c.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1863 The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will
you nothing, and may save you many regrets ; for,
as advertising physicians in eight out of ten
are bogus, there is 10 safety in trusting any of
them until You know who and what they are. DR..
Gibbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
titles, certificates, pretended patients letters &c.
DR.. Gibbon will satisfy persons who may call at
his Office of his ability to treat diseases that he
proposes to cure.

that they read his advertisement in the Shasta
