firm, with light offerings and not very
pressing disposition to buy, though there
is and has been some speculative feeling |
among few buyers. Even running tables |
are hard to find; mixed lots about the only |
kind that are uncovered. The market this |
morning opened weak in consequences of |
the tenor of the first New York dispatch, |
but it soon became frmer and closed with |
middlings at 22f@225o.

Thunder and Oysters.

1t may not be generally known, but a
Baltimore correspondent affirms with pos
itiveness, based upon knowledge and ex-
perience, that thunder kills oysters. He
says that you may load a vessel to its
utmost capacity, start for market, and one

weight, viii kill every oyster that feels
the jar. But thunder fetChes them the

MANY kinds of headaches can be instan-
taneously cured with Magic Arnica Lini-
ment. A small quantity on a pellet of
cotton inserted in hollow tooth, and the
cheek or jaw opposite the part rubbed
with it externally, will almost always cure
the toothache. Sprains, hurts of all kinds,
stings of venomous insects, are relieved at
once, and, indeed, there are few kinds of
pain, if any, that are not arrested at once
by use of the Magic Arnica Liniment. No
