Worth Knowing.

In looking through the columns of
the N. 0. Daily Picayune, our eye fell
upon Al article which we would insert
in full in our columns, had we the
space.
1t is worthy of attention 10y all who
are afflicted with Brights deasease of
the Kidneys, Diabetes, &c.
1t is an article giving an account of
tue properties and wonderful cures of
the Stafford springs neal Eosburg. The
account given leaves DO doubt in our
mind of the efficacy of the water. The
Dames given of persons living in New
Orleans, are well known to us, one be-
ing the brother of AIr. Newhauser, the
gentlemanly agent of au Insurance
Company which has acted such
promptand fair part by some of the good
but unfortunate people of this place.
The names Of Drs. Bickham, Logan,
Vaudeville and Elliott of New Orleans
arc given as physicians who had been
consulted by one of the sutferers-Mr.
A. I'll. Smiley Of Meridian, Mississippi.
There can be no doubt Of the efficacy
of tho waters of Capt. Stafford's springs,
and all who are afflicted with diseases
of the kidneys, dyspepsia, insomnia
&C., should resort to them or try the
water.
1t can be sent for at IS, Camp street,
New Orleans. We hope our readers
may not consider this a paid for puff.
On tue contrary. We are not asked to
notice the springs. We wish to benefit
the afflicted. That and nothing more.

Extraordinary Weather.

Mercury in the thermometer began to
fall rapidly Oh Saturday evening last,
21st inst. A north wind came wbistling
down and promenaders found it neces-
sary to don winter Overcoats, etc. The
thermometer continued to show q de-
preston Of the mercury until Sunday
morning, by which time it marked but
four degrees above frost. 1t continued
quite cool all day. Fires were kinlled
in the heartbs for families, aud through
the entire day, every one sought the
sunshine for comfort. BY Monday the
thermometer had risen several degrees,
nevertheless the GOODNESS was remarka-
be.
On Sunday heavy clouds curtained
the western sky, and broken columns
foated over rapidly down from the
North.
By night fall, the sky became beauti-
fully blue, and the shining armament
never appeared more serene, beautiful
and lovely to behold. On Monday it
was unclOuded.
Judge elect w. c. Perrault took and
subscribed the oath of office as Judge
of the nth judicial District Oh Monday

The lately elected Town Council, for

night and organized for business. The
meeting was special, and no business of
general character was transacted.

some town lots and then stepped TO 9

In Q moment another stranger stepped

INSTALMENT.

The instalment plan of payment has been
adopted as best calculated to meet the wants
of all classes, although our Certificates can
be paid for In ono or moro payments by
those desiring to do 90. The advantages
of being allowed to pay for Certificate in
small monthly payments will be appreciated
by the majority Of those who wish to visit the
Worlds Fair, and will enable very many to
como who, II they waited until the opening"
would not have the ready money. Another
great advantage Is In knowing beforehand
Just how much IL will cost, and having no an
noyance or uncertainty to anticipate.
