AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tionS, proves them the best and most
effectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated. they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, apd
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs Of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tions, where mild but effectual
cathartic is required.

SIXTEEN German carp, presented by
Richard Holiday, Esq, of Queen
Anne's county, to Fish Commissioner
Hughlett, for our river, were brought
here one day this week and deposited
IN the placid Pocomoke The fish
weighed from Il to 8 pounds each,
and are about two years old. Mr.. Hol-
liday has been very successful propa-
gator of these fish, and he thinks them
as delicate and finely favored fish as
the blue fish On the other hand,
Bill Jones, our colored expressman,
AYERS that they are nothing more or
less than the common " white mullet,"
which species is very numerous in the
upper portion of the Pocomoke, and in
many other streams on the Eastern
Shore. While youngster, We were
fishing one day with hook and line on
the Conestoga, with President Buchan-
an, near " Wheatland," his home, in
Lacaster county, Pa Among others
we caught several fish varying from 10
to I6 inches in length, which the Pres
ident called I" white suckers" The
latter fish, in appearance al least, are
very much, if not exactly, like the So
called German carp, and is, we think,
the same as our {" white mullet."

THE Rev. DR.. Leavitt, President of
St. Johns College, at Annapolis, ar
rived in Snow Hill on Saturday last.
On Sabbath morning and evening, by
invitation, he filed the pulpit of All
Hallows' p. +. Church. The DR.. pro
poses to add to the classical department.
of St. Johns Technical School for
instruction in engineering. The scheme
is to combine the teaching of the theory
and practice of engineering, the lee
lures to be supplemented by actual ex-
perience in the mine machine shop.
DR. Leavitt was at one time President
of the Lehigh University, which has
for some years practiced this method
of teaching, so that it is no new thing
with him. His views are set forth in
the address which he delivered on last
commencement day at St. Johns. The
Legislature will be asked at its mex,
session for an appropriation, for the
purpose of establishing this department
of the college. If the appropriation is
made it is the intention Of the college
authorities to make the tuition free,
and thus supplement our system of pub.
lie schools by a Free College. St.
Johns has for years been recognized
as State Institution, and if the desira.
bility of State aid to colleges be con-
ceded, this Institution is as deserving
of legislative favors as others. Never
theless, the taxpayers, in their present
frame of mind, are opposed to giving
any more money to the State colleges,
and we venture the assertion that the
appropriation to be asked for in aid of
St. Johns will not be granted.
