Centaur Lininlenf.

There is no pain which the Centsur Liniment
will not relieve, no swelling it will not subdue,
and no lameness which it will not cure This is
strong language, but it is true. Where the parts
| are not gone, its effects are marvellous. It has
produced more cures of rheumatism neuralgia,
lockjaw, palsy, sprains, swellings caked-breasts
scalds, burns, salt-rheum, ear-ache, &C., upon
the human frame, and of strains, SPAWN, gals,
&c, upon animals in one year than have all 9TH
er pretended remedies since the world began
1t is a counter-irritant, all-healing pain re-
lever. Cripples throw away their crutches, the
lame walk, poisonous bites are rendered harm
less, and the wounded are healed without scar.
1t is no humbug. Therecipe is published around
each bottle. 1t is selling as no article ever before
sold, and it sells because it does just what it pre-
tends to do. Those who now suffer from rheu-
matism, pain or swelling, deserve to suffer if
they will not use Centaur Liniment. More than
1000 certificates Of remarkable cures, including
frozen limbs, chronic rheumatism, govt, run
ming tumors, &C., have been received We will
send circular containing certificates the reci-
pc. &c, gratis. to any one requesting it. One
bottle of the yellow wrapper Centaur Liniment
is worth one hundred dollars for spawned or
sweenied horses and mules, or for screw worm
in sheep. Stock-owners, this liniment is worth
your attention. No family should be without
Centaur Liniment. Price SOC bottle, large bot

History that is being written
ought in all things to be strictly correct. In the
NUM- Der for the Spectator of the 10th inst, where
che writer speaks of the captains of the Rangers,
Volunteers, DC, he enumerates the Bumgard-
ners, Hangers and Hogsetts, when the two for
mer came in after the Revolution, and if the
third family was here, it is not exactly clear
but that any of them were here to participate in
the battle of Point Pleasant, no one familiar
with history at that date will pretend. There
were others not named who were as prominent
as those who were mentioned.

A GREAT WANT SUPPLIED.-Ever since the
war, we have commended that material prosper
ity brought political strength" andsto get that
the superior native talent of the Sunny South
needed only the proper practical and scientific
development to make it surpass that of any
country, section of country, on earth, in great
practical achievements Too long have our
schools been devoted to examining the youthful
mind with the dregs Of what other nations have
wisely forgotten lost, and our young men
have grown up full of learning-"all sound and
fury, signifying nothing" in the great struggle
before them. But now we have, in our midst
a school of the right sort and at its head man
who has found the true philosophers stone'' of
learning. We allude to Prof Ben. Hyde Ben
toms truly great New Market Polytechnic Inst-
tute, now in successful operation, in one of the
most pleasant towns of our Valley. The tuition is
only $20O-a pitiful sum when compared with
the great benefits received. The student here
learns the philosophy and use Of apparatus in
chemistry, astronomy, telegraphy and the other
sciences. They learn how to make the utensils
necessary and all the tools, implements, blow
pipes and lathes for doing the most ingenious
work in the most perfect manner. They not on
~ learn the theory and principles of science and
engineering, but they learn the practical appli-
cation of all the actual performances And
they learn, too, the much neglected art of SPELL
ing, reading and writing properly, and have all
the benefits Of home life and the best moral
influence. Prof Benton was on a visit to our
city, in the interest of his school, last week,
and we are happy to learn met with marked en-
eeVragement in mis- noble efforts to benefit labor,
by educating it and raising its standard to that
OF the highest excellence. To such thoroughgo-
lng' Woodworking, practically scientific teachers,
our loved Sunny South will owe her present re-
cuperatlon and future high position in the world,
which, in the grand and varied walks of applied
science, will open field of usefulness to her
sons equal, If not SURPRISING, that of her former
supremacy IN that OF the law, physic, political
economy and craftsmanship and far more prof
table. We bid him hearty God speed, and wish
his efforts the success they SO richly deserve

EVEN the most casual magazine reader
must have noticed the remarkable increase
of feminine authors within the past ten
years. Especially in the dominion of poet
ny has the female hand usurped the place
so long almost exclusively occupied by that
of man, until nowadays one can hardly
take up q literary periodical that does not
exhibit striking preponderance Of women
among its contributors Of verse. Three OF
the four poems in the Atlantic arc by
women and the other may be as
well, for the initials of the author alone
are given-while for several months past
the other magazines have been but little
behind the Atlantic in their partially for
feminine pens. Scribner's magazine is
equally partial to the poetical efforts of
female pens. Those men who strive to get
living by working in the higher depart
nents ofliteraturc must view this gradually
increasing monopoly of their field of labor
by the gentler sex with feelings akin to
dismay. Soon, apparently, they will find
no choice between emigration to England
where the masculine mind still controls the
magazine supply, and the REIMBURSEMENT
of the quill for some heavier instrument
of toll. sg t.,4 a.. p

THE question of journalistic contempt Of
court has just been passed upon in Massa-
chusetts. 1t seems that the Saturday
Evening Express, Of Boston, has just been
fined twenty-five dollars and costs for con-
tempt of court under the following cir
cumstances That journal having written
and printed an article, in respect to a suit
still undecided, in which all the praise was
given to the defendant and all the abuse
to the plaintiff, of whom, among other
things it was said that he brought "the
suit in bulldog, Tammany style' and in
support at "thin claim" the suit in ques-
ton was brought, after verdict was given
by the jury in favor Of the plaintiff for
some thousands Of dollars.
The editor, on appearing before the
court, declared that he wrote and printed
the paragraph in good faith, believing the
same to be true, and furthermore that he
had no intention of influencing the jury or
obstructing the course of justice. Judge
Wells decided, however, that it was to be
presumed that the writer knew that such
an article would influence any juror read
ing it, and that "the protection of the
dignity and purity Of the administrator Of
justice required that such want Of discre-
ton in the press be made an example and
a warning" He accordingly fined him.
