Advertising.

We reproduce from DR.. CLOVIS
letter, which we published three
weeks ago, the following:
"Thousands of dollars r wasted
annually in purchasing fruit trees
from Northern nurseries, for the
want of enterprisessand energy in
this country to supply the demand.
Even when they are raised by anna
teurs in large quantities, they let
them remain in their nurseries, for
the lack of the nerve to advertise
them, and let it be known that they
have them. [ was only the other
day informed by a friend that a
confiere at Chicot had a large mum
Der of pear trees of a choice variety,
which he was Offering at n fourth
of the price they sell at in Northern
nurseries, and could not sell them;
whereas, if he had let it be known
through the columns OF your paper,
he would have before this had more
orders than he could fill, as there is
no fruit more highly appreciated by
all who are acquainted with it. But
this is only one instance in a hun
bred which might be brought to
light by advertising. Whilst cot
ton bore a good price everything
else has been neglected, and now
when cotton is low, and likely to
continue so, on account Of over-pro-
duction, many of the commonest
productions OF the farm are so scarce
that it is difficult to procure seeds,
and among them COW peas, which
cannot be had in the city for less
than six dollars a bushel; but no
doubt we have a few proyident far
mers who have them to spare, and if
they would let it be known through
the columns of your paper could sell
them at a highly remunerative price.
So also with regard to seed corn.
| heard a year or two ago that some
of the new settlers below Opelousas
had introduced a valuable variety
of corn known as the velvet cob,'
and I was anxious to procure some,
as I had seen it in De Soto parish,
twenty years ago, and know it to be
the best variety | have ever seen.
But [ have strayed from my subject
and exhausted my sheet and, prob
ably, your patience, and must close
for the present with the recommen-
dation that you open a column for
one or two line advertisements, and
invite the farmers to advertise any
thing and everything they have to
spare, from a bushel of peas to a
gallon of pumpkin seed, and you
may head the column with the fol-
lowing:
"'Tanyah Seedfor sale atJohn Po-
sey', and c. Mayo's by the gallon,
bushel or barrel.'n
The cost of advertising such a no.
tice as the above, one time, would
only be fifty cents. Many persons
fail to obtain their wants and sell
articles that they do not need, often
with considerable Inconvenience and
loss, simply because they do not adj
vertise. A few days since we bought
a new saddle; and a gentleman, on
sseing it, informed us that he had a
better and cheaper one for sale. In
all probability we should have
bought it, had we known the fact in
time. Advertising it one time
would have costhim only fifty cents.
We advise the public, therefore,
to take Dr.. CLOVIS advice, and let
their wants be known through the
newspaper. 1t will profit both the
advertiser and the paper, and pro
mote the general prosperity of the
parish.

Symptoms of Diseased Liver.

Dam in the right side, under the
l. edge of the ribs, increase on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
LETT side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costive,
sometimes alternative with lax ; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss Of memory, &C.
%companied with a painful sensation
of having Left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning.
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin his spirits are low ;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he Can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but cases have occurred where few
of them existed, yet examination Of
the body, after death, has shown the
Liver to have been extensively de-
ranged.

The State Debt.
from the New Orleans Times.1

In order to satisfy the public mind upon
the disputed question of the State indebted
ness, we on Saturday addressed the following
note to Auditor Graham, and received his re.
ply as annexed.
It will thus be seen the promises to pay, SO
freely circulated in eorrupting the Leglsla'
ture, are not worth the paper they are witten
upon, Auditor Graham authorizing US to state
that he will refuse the issuance of any bond
or warrants, save those actually necessary to
defray the legitimate expenses of the govern.
ment, until otherwise decided by the Supreme
Court.

FearrnI ease OF MydrOpIlObIn.

Among the prisoners in the Pcnnsyl
vania Western Penitentiary there is q
young German suffering from that dread
ful disease, hydrophobia. Ho is about
twenty.eight yenrs Of age, and was q
member oil the Virginin cavalry. In the
Spring Of 1866, when near Lynchburg,
his company was ordered to sack u rail'
way freight depot where large amount
of provisions were stored The prisoner
was the first to enter tho depot, when u
large dog jumped upon him aud bit him
in the back OF the neck. A conrale oi
the prisoner killed the dog, and the man
was taken to the hospital where the
wound was dressed. Nine days after this
occurrence the man was seized with con-
WILSON'S, aud so violent did he became
that he soon after was discouraged from
the army and returned to his home. He
had been with his parents but short
time, when his father died, leaving him
S., 900 with which to visit Europe and
be treated for the awful disease from
which he was suffering. This, he did,
and under advice OF several English doe
tors, to whom, in London, he stated his
case, he proceeded to Berlin where he
was treated for about six months, At
the end Of this time, having gone through
nearly all his funds, he returned to
America, and about one year ago made
his appearance in Pittsburg, He had
not been long in the city until lie was
arrested on charge Of larceny, tried,
found guilty, aud sentenced to the
Western PenItentinry.
Shortly after his Incarceration he was
seized with commissions and consigned
to the hospital. A few days ago, while
sitting on the edge of bath tub in the
hospital department, n dog which had
found its way into the chapel adjoining
suddenly began to bark, which caused
the man to fall into the bath tub in ter.
rible at. On getting out Of the ct he
dropped upon his hands and knees and
began to bark ut his keepers (; his eyes
glaring and OF that brilliant appearance
which the organs OF vision present in
cases Of insanity. Foaming at the mouth
he crept over to pan confirming water,
and, STOPPING down, Tapped itup exactly
after the manner of dog, In this con.
dition he remained for some hours, pre-
scnting n most frightful appearance.
Several physicians have seen him, and all
admit that nothing SO terrible ever came
under their notice before. Their only
wonder is how the unfortunate man sur.
wives at all. The physician Of the Insti.
tuition entertnins hopes Of saving the
mans life, but they are very slight. He
has adopted q new remedy known as
