NOtice.-The firm of Combs & Groomes,
Funeral Undertakers, No. SO North Cherry
street, are not connected, directly or IN
directly, with r. H. Groomes & Co., and
we will be accountable for our own acts.
We are not agents for anybody, and conse-
quently can offer greater inducements than
any agent concern. Our Mr.. GrOomes is
Ben. F. Groomes. We have full stock of
all the latest and best styles Of Cases,
Caskets, Hearses, Carriages, and everything
necessary for first-class funerals, and will
furnish them lower than any other house

In a New Dress,

Through inadVertance we have until now
tailed to make reference to the Banner of
Peace, the Cumberland Presbyterian paper
published in Nashville, which, week ago,
made its appearance in a new and vastly
improved form Of typography. In its pre-
sent size and appearance, the Banner Of
Peace speaks well for its discreet manage
ment, and the enterprise of those having its
publication in charge.

Magnifying Eyes.

A BOY with microscopic eyes is the
latest scientific wonder in England. He
possesses the faculty of seeing minute
objects magnifed to marvellous degree.
His eyes were diseased when he was
young, and he came near losing his
sight, which, however, he gradually re-
covered. 1t was found, however, that
the internal structure of the eye had been
changed, the cornea being greatly en-
larged, the crystalline lens being divided
into three different parts, each part being
surrounded with light blue circle; and
in the center of each appears the iris, di-
minished to the size of pins head.
The patient cannot distinguish objects at
distance, they appearing blurred and
misshapen. The magnifying power of
vision is stated at 500 diameters. A curl
Gus fact is that he will never examine
water, having once discovered the vast
number of infusoria contained in some
which he was drinking, and the sight Of
which thoroughly frightened him. The
lad, it should be mentioned, has a won
derful talent for drawing and coloring
with great accuracy the objects which
come beneath his inspection. The ease
is under the particular attention of Sir
Charles Madden, F. r, s., and of DR..
Crowder, the eminent oculist. H
