DO not be deceived by similarity
of odor and appearance. These
1naatdtlOfS cannot an any instance

AnAS great Curative is always of a

Ihe extensive facilities for the
manufacture of Ponds Ex.

The true secret of the manufac-
ture' of Ponds Extract is
too well guarded and too wisely
transmitted to escape.
Other unsCPupuIOus trades
men, desirous of making a larger
profit, are in the habit of stating
TO their customers who ask for
Ponds Extract, that they

it in bulk.
This Company is most solicit

this dishonorable trick. resOrted

in purity and quality with this
old established remedy.

refill bottle with genuine
Ponds Extract except by
emptying another bottle.

A WONDERFUL PIGEON RoosT.-Such q
scene as is presented at the great wild pigeon
roost in the Indian Territory, some fifty miles
southwest of this city, is very uncommon, and
has no equal anywhere in America. The
lsroost'' includes space of about forty acres,
in the timber, and when they return to the
roost in the evening the trees are perfectly
black with them. The Indians, who own the
land, will not permit other parties to take ad.
vantage of the game, but hire men, who SIT
at the root of the trees and shoot and throw
clubs all night, and the next morning the
ground is literally covered with pigeons, and
they are gathered up, loaded into wagons and
hauled to this city, where the Indians realize
from ten to twenty-five cents per dozen for
them. During the day only now and then a
pigeon can be seen in the vicinity OF the roost,
but It they invariably return at night. Those
who own the land say they have killed dozens
