The Foreign and domestic demand for Perry
Davis & soD's great medicine-the Pain Killer
was never before so large as it has been of late;
and we think the time has arrived when the dec
laration may be made, without the possibility Of
refutation, that the city of Providence, Rhode
Island, has furnished the entire hahitahle globe
with medicine, which, in point of universally
of demand, extent of usefulness, complete eff
cheney for all the purposes for which it was de-
signed and widespread, enduring popularity has
never been equalled by any medicine in Europe
or America.
The universally of the demand for the Pain
Killer is novel, interesting, and surprising
feature in the history of this medicine. Its fame
has gone out, into every quarter of the globe
The Pain Killer is now regularly sold in large
and steadily increasing quantities, not only to
general agents in every State aad Territory of
the Union, and every Province of British Amer
lea, but to every South American State, to the
Sandwich Islands, to Cuba and other West India
Islands; to England and Continental Europe;
to Mozambique Madagascar, Zanzibar and other
African lands, to Australia and Calcutta, Ran
Coon and other places in India. 1t has also been
sent to China, and we doubt if there is any for
eign port or any inland city in Africa or Asia,
which is frequented by American or European
missionaries, travellers or traders, into which the
Pain Killer has not been introduced and been
sought after. 'i-
The extent of its usefulness is another great
feature of this remarkable medicine. 1t is not
only the best thing ever known, as everybody
will confess, for bruises, cuts, burns, &C., but
for dysentery cholera, any sort of bowel
complaint it is remedy unsurpassed for efhcien-
cy and rapidly of action. In the great cities of
British India and in the West India Islands and
other hot climates it has become the standard
medicine for all such complaints, as well as for
dyspepsia, liver complaint and other kindred dis
orders. For coughs and colds, canker, asthma
and rheumatic difficulties, it has been proved by
the most abundant and convincing trials and tes-
timony, to be an Invaluable medicine. The pro-
pretors are in possession of letters from persons
of the highest character and responsibility, tcs-
flying in unequivoeai terms to the cures effect
ed and the satisfactory results, produced. in an
this great medicine Providence Advertiser.

Monday morning the boys, and indeed some

any accidents, and hope those who have not yet
gotten their Ice put up, will take this chance We
learned that it was about three inches thick near

WHAT DOES 1T MEAx 7-ChListfaas week had
almost gone and we were wearsied with high liy-
ing and setting type, and sirolled quietly up Main
-.stsset anticipating a happier New Year, when
we espied Two young ladiee. One clad in-per-
hans the uniform of one our Schools and the 9TH
er in ordinary attire, in the neighborhood Of the
"Plank Walk short distance behind them were
two young gentlemen whom We regarded as stran
gers in these parts, going in the same direction.
One of the gentlemen took from his pocket a card
on which he appeared to write something, they
then in earnest conversatqg, passed the aforesaid
young ladies' and having gone but short distance,
hastily looked quite a large bundle ofietters
and papers and accident1y dropped the card and
then hurried on up town, we know not wither.
One of the young ladies picked up the card and
we presume keeps it to this day as a Souvenir"
we have in youthful days heard of such
things, and this little episode was something very
pleasant to our eyes. We sighed as we thought
that perhaps it was too late for us to INDUCE in
such luxuries, and wcnded way homewards.
we only ask what it means?

REVIVAL Revival meeting has been going
on in the Methodist church during the past week,
and will be continued during this week We learn,
some seven or eight have connected themselves
with the church, and there is prospect for a
Iarger number. There appears to be good deal
of interest in the attendance and we think it
safe to look forward to much good arising from
the present meetings There can he.little doubt
of the increase in the interest which people
generally show for religious matters of late! 1t
is q good omen for our future prosperity.

We learn that number Of ladies of Staunton
have very recently organized and started a ''Cir-
<ulating Library which will certainly add a good
deal, not only to their improvement but also to
their pleasure. We predict for it success, and
hope they may have very many members, as well
as subscribers. We learn the subscription will
be only two dollars per annum, and strangers Wis
iting the town can secure any volume to read by
paying in advance its value and when returned,
their money will be refunded with the exception
of ten cents which will be the "Library Fee"

EXCELSIOR is composed Of 700 pounds OF
No. Peruvian Guano, and 1900 pounds OF Sol
uole Phosphate Of Lime Clones dissolved in
sulphuric acid potash and soda, forming the
most concentrated, universal ana durable fer
tilizer ever offered to the farmer-combining all
the stimulating properties of Peruvian Guano,.
and the ever durable tertilizing properties of
Ground Bones-supplyingan abundance of Am
monis for any crop, and all soils, and IN per.
fectly fixed condition-not volatile and passing
off with the first crop, as with Peruvian and
other smmoniacal guanos, but stimulating the
crop to which is is applied, and all succeeding
ones, giving to poor, worn out and unproduct-
i've soils new life and Vlgor, making them, 10
this respect, equal to the most highly Guilt
waited lands, upon which much time anu money
have beer expended.
EXCELSIOR Mas introduced in 1853 and we
challenge the manufacturers and vendors OF fer
tilizers, natural or artificial Guano, to show re-
suits so invariably successful as can be shown
from its use One of the PROPRIETORS SU-
PERINTENDS IN PERSON EVERY MIN.
UTE OF ITS MANUFACTURE, and there
fore warrant every bag uniform, and to contain
by analysis the standard of fertilizing proper
ties, giving that protection to the farmer which
he does not have i'll the purchase Of any other
Guano or Fertilizer sold.
Excelsior is in fine dry powder, prepared ex-
pressly for drilling and can be applied IN any
quantity per acre, however email; and 1t IS the
opinion of the most prominent and calculating
farmers, alter TWE years experience IN
testing it side by side with other popular fertil
izers, that an application of 100 pounds of Ex-
sor is equal to 200 to 300 pounds Of sny other
Fertilizer or Guano offered for sale, and there.
fore is fully 100 to 200 per cent cheaper.
1a-The very best evidence we can offer of
the value of Excelsior as crop grower and
fertilizer, is the fact of it's being initiated and
counterfeited. Some unprincipled manufsc.
turers have actually used the trade mark for
the purpose of pslming off their worthless com.
