FACTS WORTH KEOwING.-During a recent
Trial or comparison of ordinary Baking Powders
In New York, with DoOley'S Yeast POtodsr, it was
SHOWN conclusiyely that better results were
attained with IRON one half to tw0-thirds the
quantity of the latter than with any other in
maThet. The secret of the success lies in the
care with which Dooley's Yeast Powder is pre-
pared, and it's entire freedom from substances
that arc Injurious Ia the system.
We challenge comparison at any and all
times. The verdict OF the consumer is always
In cur favor. Sold by all gcOcers.

Charm Against Hanging.

A private letter from a gentleman in
Texas to his brother in this city tells
the story how q colored man was saved
from hanging in San Antonio, in that
State !: About q month since, color
ei man killed white man in g. fracas
in this place. The colored man was
verymuch alarmed, knowing that should
he be caught he would be hanged to the
nearest tree convenient for the purpose,
there being no hope for a fair trial in
that section. A friend of his hearing of
his situation went to see him in mis- hid
ing place, and promised for consider
alton (of money, of course, to give him
powder, which he should take when
he was captured, that would prevent his
being hanged or shot. The poor man,
believing it to be a charm, readily paid
the sum demanded and received the
powder, which he was to swallow when
there was no other hope. The next day
the man was discovered in his hiding
place by crowd of white men, who
were determined to carry out the de-
cision of Judge Lynch, and were about
to hang him to tree which they had
already selected. The prisoner, with
great reluctance, yet having faith in the
power of his powder, was taken to the
tree, and when all the arrangements
were made took the powder from his
pocket and swallowed its contents. The
effect was quickly seen, as he fell dead

TOOthache.

The researches made by DR.. Sillin,
one of the most experienced of Euro
pean dentists, have led him to the
opinion that common or acute tooth
ache proceeds from causes but little
considered or understood. In the cen
ter of every tooth, he says, there is
cavity corresponding in shape to that of
the tooth itself, and into this cavity
passes through a minute aperture at
the end of each root a branch of a
nerve, an Artery, and vein ; and when,
either by mechanical injury or decay,
this cavity becomes exposed to the airs
action, the blood thickens or coagu-
lates to an extent beyond the capacity
of the vein to remove in the natural
way Inflammation ensues, and COM
mences, at first slightly more blood is
pumped in at every pulse of the heart,
through the branch of the artery, and,
the hard material of which the tooth is
formed being unyielding, a pressure is
set up on the walls of the cavity and its
contents, including the nerve. The
pressure is increased at every pulse
