.ScTofuloas poison is one OF the most destrnc.

unfelt tenant of the organism undeTmines the con.
sitution, and invites the attack of enfeebng
tai diseases, without exciting suspicion Of its
presence. Again, 1T seems to breed infection
throughout the body, and then, on some favorable
occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of lis
hideo,x forms either on the surface or among the
vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly
deposited in the lungs or heart, or tuors formed
in the liver, or it shows its presence by erIptioEs
on the skin, or foul alterations on some part Of
the body. Hence the occasional use of a bottle

have leased the Ferry privilege at Van Buren
belonging to the Drenncn estate, for term
of five years, at the rate of $1,000 per year,

Steam Ferry Boat at $1,000, we believe, which
is paid for in stock of the company. Parties
from Fort Smith interested in this enterprise,
were in our town during the past week with
their bond for presentation to the County
Court, which was accepted and filed. Tho
company will at once add new ard greater
steam power, sufficient to cross at all times
high or low water-high wind or calm.
Since the above WAS in type the new ma

Saturday, and from some cuuse ON Sunday
the boat was found sunk at the landing. She
will be raised in few days, ready to resume
her regular trips. In the meantime the COM

ale alluded briefly to himself and his Of
fetal career and to the slsnderous attacks
made upon him by certain parties, who want
to get the office Themselves; but, coming from
tho source they do, he felt rather proud OF
those attacks.

him. while he felt deeply moved at this token
Of esteem and regard, he felt it his duty to de-
