fashion:
We congratulate the Board upon the
increased facilities afforded to the trade
OF the southwestern portion of the

feeling and desire to do business with
our city, evinced 10y the people OF

We have the best evidence that the

good and adapted TO the wants of the
people. We know of 10 other medi-
cal guide for popular use, that at all
approaches it. The work is fully IL
lustrated. and is sold through agents
(either local or traveling). and we be-
speak for it a ready sale in this COM
munity. We presume such of our
readers as desire copies can, by
writing directly to the publishers. ar

review of this most excellent work By
quoting the following from late
number of The Ne0 Orleans Daily
Times
"The work appears 90 have been writ
ten and compiled with conscientious
care. Though its matter occupies a
thousand pages, We find nothing in it
which could have been omitted with
propriety or presented in fewer words.
If il could be placed in every house in
America, il would save many hundreds
OF lives every year, besides preventing
or relieving an amount of suffering be-
yond all estimate. We all know the
cheering effect of the appearance Of
the Doctor, and how, in his presence,
the faces of patients and attendants
tighten up with confidence and hope.
Something of this same comforting and
wholesome effect will be produced by
this Home Physician, which, though
IL has no pleasant voice or tender baud,
Is yet always present with ia silent
counsel ana careful prescriptions. In
the present age of enlightenment the
faculty look with liberal favor upon
works intended to generalize and diff
fuse such Information as DIR. Beard's
work contains. Reference to diseases,
Remedies and other subjects is facilta-
ted by means OF carefully prepared
index. There are fifty or sixty pages
of prescriptions, a list of medicines
and the form and quantity in which
they are used, n glossary of the few
scientific and professional terms made
use of in the body of the work, and
some hundreds of engravings. The au-
thor had personal experience in the
treatment of yellow fever and other
southern and tropical diseases.n

THE CHAHOoN CAsE.-The Rich
mond correspondent of the Petersburg
Inder says 1T has been said that the
trial of Chahoon was political perse-
tuition. IL is not true. First, because
there are indicted with him two Vir-
ginians-two men who were Confeder-
ate soldiers, who have hitherto borne
good characters, and stood we'll in
this community; and second. because
upon the trial of Chahoon, the evil
dence brought out has stamped him as
one of set of conspirators, and the
chief one, who have combined TO swim
die the estate of Haunstein, and fill
their own pockets with dishonest gain,
No unprejudiced mind can review this
testimony and not perceive that Cha

clare his guilt
