Dr. o. R. BAKER-Sir Last week had severe
attack of oothache and pain in my face, (sometimes
called ague in the face) My whole face was very
mucn swollen and distorted and the right side was
very large The pain was so Intense that could not
eat or sleep and at times it seemed as though must
go distracted Every toothe in my head seemed to
ache at the same time, that could not tell which
gave me the most pain. kept mustard plaster ap-
piled to my face until it nearly bstered This gave
mo momentary relief, but on taking cold the pain
would return with more violence than ever. Just at
this crisis we found one of your circulars which had
been thrown in our yard. Seeing the Panacea rec
commended, procured bottle and commenced us
ing 1t, by first bathing my face freely and also by
washing my teeth and gums. Afterward applied a
bread poultice with the surface mostened with Pam
acea. which changed twice day. This soon gave
me relief and in few days entirely cured me- l
have had similar attacks since but the Panacea has
always given immediate relief. l have also used it
for summer complaints and Pains in the bowels, and
always found it speedy and certain remedy


Accept with this my gratitude for the blessing
your medicine has been to me-

MINES ON THE OKANAGAN.-We have
heard vague rumors recently the discovery
of rich gold mines on the Okanagan, and its
tributaries. One report is that prospects of
81 to SIS per pan have been obtained on the
bed rock If these reports have any foun-
dation in fact which may very reasonably be
doubted-the Okanagan is not so far away
but that we will soon have substantial proof
of their correctness in the shape of the shin

A TEMPEST IN A TEAPoT.-Considerable
excitement and discussion has been created
within the city limits in the past few days,
growing out of report that certain
disinterested parties were taking pre-
cautionary measures to secure the passage
of an act, during the session of the next
legislature, repeating 0nr city charter
Without entering into discussion of the
merits, of the subject, we venture the opin-
ion, that the party in favor of the city char
ter as 1t Is, is largely in the majority. This
party includes the principal portion of the
property holders, and if they are satisfied
with the charter we cannot see how any
number of outsiders have a right to
say it shall be repealed

And leaning over the vessels side,
Throwing herself away:

THE WHITE OR Grey Willow For
FENcIsa.-We would call attention OF
the people of Kansas to this valuable ar.
ticle for fencing, coming into favorable
notice throughout the Western Prairie
States. From published accounts which
we have seen in the Chicago Tribune and
other. influential papers in Illinois. the
White Willow is decided success, and
is exactly what is wanted in Kansas. W.
have long thought that something of a
quicker growth and less trouble and ex-
penss in cultivation would supercede the
Usage Orange and other material of q
like nature for live fence. and we now
have it in the shape Of the White Will
low. 1t is said to make more valuable,
durable and beautiful live fence Than any
other tree, shrub or plant that has ever
been introduced into the United States;
that it gives evidence of more durability
than other kind of hedges, and that it
will. in addition to making good fence,
furnish timber for rails and firewood,
without injury to the fence; that It does
not sprout from the root; that it will
thrive on any and on all Of our prairies,
and will make more efficient wind brake
in less time than any tree used for simi-
lar purposes. Its introduction into our
State will be worth millions of dollars.
Its general use will in a dozen years
greatly change our climate. by giving to
our large prairies more liberal supply
Of summer showers, and also protecting
the standing grain from being beaten
down by heavy winds and dashing rains;
for these must first spend their fury upon
the living walls of fence that shall girdle
our fields to ward off these dreaded dan.
gers to our golden harvests.

GEN. MEADE's VIEWS OF PATRIOT
IsM.-As Gen Meade has so signally Illus
trated his patriotism on the field of battle,
it may not be SO important to learn how he
has recorded it on paper. But his views
will be interesting. They are found in
letter written by him last April, in response
to an invitation to attend the great meeting
of the Loyal League in New York. He re-
GREETED that he was unable TO be present at
a meeting which had his heartiest approval,
and then proceeded as follows -


My views, which you ask for, are very
brief and simple. They are, that it is, and
should be, the undoubtins and unhesitating
duty Of every citizen Of the Republic to
give his whole energies, and contribute all
the means in his power to the determined
prosecution of the war, until the integrity
of the Government is re-established and its
supremacy acknowledged. Deprecating as
useless all discussion as to the cause OF the
war, the fact of its existence, and the neces-
sity for its continuance, should alone occupy
us. For its successful prosecution and ter
mination, am clearly of the opinion there
is only required union and harmony among
ourselves, and the bringing to bear men and
means proportionate TO the power and re-
sources of the country.


For the purpose of securing union and
harmony, know of no measure better cal
culated than the organization of your Ma
tional Loyal League. Its broad and simple
platform is one to which citizens of all par
lies can readily subscribe; and l have no
doubt its effect will be most salutary in
proving to those who are in arms to sub
vert the Government, that whatever differ
ences of opinion may exist on minor points,
upon the main point of there being but one
Government one flag, we are determined
and united. ] have the honor TO be, sir,
most respectfully your obedient servant,


GEO. G. MEADE,


Ma. General of Volunteers.

From the Richmond Examiner Nov. .


The monstrous bombardmend Of Sumter
continues with nabated vigor but neverdid
so great noise attract so little attention.
Perhaps it was never made till now for so
little purpose. What the enemy expect to
gain by this limitless expenditure Of
fixed ammunition cannot easily be mag
ined, unless it is the qualification of stupid
rage on that mound of broken brick and
stone. If they could strike every fragment
one by one, into the water, not step to the
capture of Charleston would be achieved,
for the position is untenable, even for an
hour, against the batteries which command
it. But whsta glory will settle on that
ruined mass if it should continue after all
their shot and all their shell, to bear high
in the air the standard of the Confederate
States.

coin in the Confederate States settles the op-
ton reserved to the Government, and it is
clear that the interest will be paid in cotton.


The annual interest of $50 will be very
nearly the value of 4 bale Of cotton Of 500

each coupon will he the equivalent of bale of
cotton, Of the class of New Orleans middling.


At the present market rates, such cotton, at
the ports, is now worth at least three times the
price set upon it in the bonds, so that the actu-
al interest received by the holder of the bond
would bc eighteen per cent. in Confederate
currency. The same relative advantage at
tachcS.to the principal which is payable twcn-

paid in coin. but the purchase money is now
paid in Confederate notes: and the purchaser

possess an intrinsic value, greatly exceeding
