The income of Raines Buchanan is reported at
sll,lll.
The salary of the sexton of Plymouth Church
(Beecher's) is $2,500.
A LOVE OK A DRESS. —The Empress Eugenie wore
at a dinner given lately to the ministers and chief of
licers of the Crown, a dress of white muslin, with a
tunic of cerese satin, jet and black lace, and a dia
mond necklace mounted on black velvet.
ANOTHER REPENTANT REBEL. —The St. Louis lie
publican says : "Andrew J. Donelson. who will be
remembered as a prominent citizen of Tennessee,
and who was acondidate for the Vice-Presidency on
the ticket with Millard Fillmore in 1856, recently
came within the federal lines at Nashville, took the
amnesty oath, and has since been privileged to go
where he pleased in that state without let or hind
rance from the federal authorities. Daring bis term
in Dixie he did not enter into either the civil or mili
tary service of the Rebels, and did not compromise
himself in support of the cause of secession turther
than circumstances compelled. He passed Cairo, a
few days ago bound to Bolivar, Mississippi, where
he owns4wo pr three plantations. Nothing remains
of them, we believe, but the land : the negroes
stock and improvements having all been swept away
by the ravages of war." Mr. DoDelson is an adopted
son of Andrew Jackson.
A large grey eagle with-a bell round its neck has
made its appearance near Portsmouth, New Hamp
shire. It is supposed to be a bird which was form
erly a pet at Cape Porpoise, but which was sent a
drift with a sleigh-bell attached to his neck, as a
punishment for his irequent raids upon the chicken
coops.
Three more prelates, the Archbishjp of Kennes,
the Bishops of Angers and the Bishop of Poitiers,
have protested against the Government interdiction
of the Encyclical. The document has also found a
defender in Protestant Prussia. The Kreuz Zeitung
regards the Pope as the highest representative of
papal authority, and applauds what it calls his
"courageo is protest ' against anti-Christian prog
ress. "That progress," says the feudal and uhra-
Prodestant Journal, "is not a victory over truth it
self : it is rather the defeat of the authorities charged
to defend the truth, who have failed in their mission
through weakness or inefficiency.
The usual custom in Paris is to receive one day in
the week all one's acquaintances, and to receive the
remaining days for one's very intimate friends, who
take their chance of finding one at home. Princess
Mathilde reverses this custom, as she receives every
evening whoever may have been presented to her,
and reserves Sunday evenings for her privileged
friends.
The Emperor of the French is about to take away
from the Imperial Guard the exclusive right to gar
rison Paris. The Guard are henceforth to take their
turn with the line in this and other duties.
The Pope has anuounced that he intends shortly
to canonize certain individuals whom he designates
as the '"Dutch martyrs," and who, in 1272, were
put to death in Holland by the Calvinistic and pa
triotic adherents of that great Prince of Orange so
familiarly known in the history of the Netherlands
as "the father of the people."
The first birthday of Prince Albert Victor Chris
tian Edward, the infant son and heir of the Prince
aud Princess of Wales, was duly celebrated on the
Bth of January, The bells of the royal borough of
Windsor sent forth a merry peal at eight o'clock in
the morning in honor of the occasion. The youth
ful Prince was born at Frogmore House, January Bth
1864—the Princess Alexandra, in the afternoon of
his birthday, having been present at a skating party
on Virginia water only a few hours previous to the
occurrence of the interesting event.
How HE GOT A FURLOUGH. —A correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial says that the following
letter was lately received by General Thomas:
"Paris, Edgar Co., 111. Dec. 2<?tb, 1864.—Major
Gene-ial Thomas : Dear Sir —I am a little girl thir
teen years old, and I have two brothers in the army,
my other one was in : so was pa My brother Boby
1 have not seen for over two years, and O ! I want
to see him so bad. Now I want to ask a favor of
you. It is to please let liobert 8 Holding come home
on a furlough to spend New-Year's. We have a
big turkey , and we want him to have some of it,
and I would like to give you a piece, but you are so
far away. O, General, please grant him a furlough.
RACHEL HOLDING." The letter arrived too late to
give 4 'Boby" the privilege of having some of the
"turkey." Bat the furlough is a settled fact. This
he will get. The magnanimous heart of the Gener
al yields to the simple pleadings of the little girl.
GENERAL TOM THUMB, His WIFE AXD BABT, —A
late number of the London Lancet says, "Mr. and
Mrs. Stratton, (General Tom Thumb and his wife)
have been giving receptions at Colcald's Hotel, Do
ver street' Picadilly. The General looks remarka
bly well, and has improved in appearance since we
last saw him. He is now twenty-seven years old. —
His wife is smaller than the General, is dark, with
very well-defined features, indeed, exceedingly pret
ty, good figure, and inclined to embonpoint. Her
age is twenty-three. The baby was also exhibited,
which is now twelve months old, weighing seven
pounds and three quarters. The diminutive pair
seem very proud off their offspring ; whether it will
be of .the same Liliputian stamp we cannot at pres
ent say. Mrs. Stratum's sister, aged twelve, was
also present. She is smaller still than the General
or his wife.
"It is not proper for you to playschool, my dear,
to-day, for it is Sunday." "I know it mamma,"
replied the little girl" "bat it is Sunday school lam
playing.
"I say, boy, where does that road go to? inquired
a pedestrian of a country rustic. "I don't know,
sir," replied the boy ; "'taint been nowhere else
since we lived here."
On his return from India, Brown was asked how
he liked tiger hunting. "It is very good sport as
long as yon hunt the tiger," he replied; "but, if
hard pressed, he sometimes takes it into his head
to hunt yon, then it has its drawbacks.
An instance of unusual munificence has just oc
curred at Hamburg. A Jewish merchant, Herr
Heine, has presented the sum of 500,000 marks for
the support of "Betty-Heine Hospital," which was
built at the expense of his father, and takes its name
from his mother. f
Two persons of satiric turn met a neighbor, and
said, 'Friend, we have been disputing as to whether
you are most knave or fooL' The man took each of
the querists by the arm ; so that he was in the mid
dle. 'Truth,' said he, 'I believe 1 am between both.'
A gentleman in Scotland has preserved an old
number of the Greenock Advertiser, containing the
following announcement: " Notice to Correspon
dents.—T. C. The lines commencing, 'On Linden
when the sum was low,' are not up to our standard.
Pootry is evidently not T. C.'s forte.
HORCE OK HABIT.—A conncellor daring the Reign
of Terror sometimes fell asleep on the bench. One
dny, the President gathering the votes of the court
and coming to ask his vote, he answered, starting
out of his sleep, and not being quite aw&ke, that his
opinion was the man Bhould be beheaded.
'Bat the business is about a meadow,' said the
president.
'Let it be moved then,' replied the counsellor,

CELEBRITF.D HORSE AND CATTLE
POWDERS.
rfIHME Powder* have proved, altera trial of several
X year,, to be superior to any preparation of the kind
in use. The chief superiority of these powders arises
horn the fact that they are composed of medicines that
have Laxative, Tonic- and Purifying properties. The
laxative ejects crudities from the stomach and intestines,
the tonic gives strength to the system of the Horse, and
the purifying medicines contained in them cleanse the
blood, and lay tne foundation for a vigorous and healthy
circulation. The use of them improves the wind, atrengtb
ensthe appetite and gives the horse a fine, smooth and glos
sy skin —thus improving the appearance, vigor and spir
it of this noble aniuial.
These powders are not intended, as most powders are j
to bloat the animal, so as to give him the appearance of
being fat when not really so—but to remove the disease
and promote his general health.
These powders will strengthen the stomach and intes
tines, cleanse them from offensive matter, and bring them
to a healthy state. They are a sure prevention of Lung
Fever, and a certain remedy for all diseases incident to
the Horse, as Glanders, Yellow Water, Distempers, Foun
der, Heaves, Slavering, Coughs, Fevers Loss o. Appetite
and Vital Energy, Ac.—These powders, if used two or
three times a week, through the winter and spring, your
horses will never get the Lung Fever Coric or Botts. A
few doses of these powders will remove the worst cough,
on any horse. Were owners of horses to feed a few of
these powders every year, they might save the lives of
many valuable hoTses.
MILCH OOWS.
The properties this powder possesses in increasing
the quantity of milk in oust, gives it an importance and
value which should place it in the hands of every persoD
keeping a cow. In fattening cattle, it gives them an ap
petite, loosens their hide, and makes thein thrive much
faster,
HOGS.
In all diseases of swine, as coughs, ulcers in the lungs
and liver, Ac., by putting from half a paper to a paper of
these powders in a barrel of swill, the above diseases can
'e curjd or entirely prevented. By using these powders
the hog cholera can be prevented.

HAKKISBURG, Feb. Sth, 1864.
C. A. BAXNVART — Dear Sir : I have used Brown's
Bronchial Troches, Wis tar's Lozenges and other prepara
tions for hoarseness and Throat Troubles, and in compar
ison with them all. eari cheerfully commend your own as
a most admirable specific for public speakers and singers,
in eases of Hoarseness, coughs and colds I have found
them serving in time of need most effectually.
To C. A. BANXVART — Dear Mr : In the habit of speak
ing very frequently, and iu places where the vocal organs
are very much taxed. I have found the need of some gen
tle expectorant, and that want has been supplied in your
excellent Troches. I consider them very* far superior to
uny Lozenges that I have ever used, in removing speedi
ly t hat buskiness of the voice arising from its too frequent
use. and impairing the effectiveness of the delivery of
public addresses. Yours. Ac.,
J NO. WALK Kit JACKSON.
Pastor uf th Locust Street Methodiit Church.
To C. A. BAXNVART — Dear Sir : —Having used your
Troches, I am free to say they are the best I have "ever
tried, and take great pleasure in recommending them to
all persons afflicted with soar throat or buskiness of voice
arising from public speaking or singing.

For many years have I suffered from one of th< most an

of a few bottles of that valuable medicine, the complaint

be an invaluable tonic, and unhesitatingly recommend it

Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to the effee
produced by the use of Iloofland's German Bitters, in
my family, I have no hesitation in saying that it has been
highly beneficial. In one instance, a case of dyspepsia ot
thirteen years' standing, and which had bt com- very ills -
trcssing, the use of one bottle gave decided relief, "be ser
oud effecting a cure, and the third, it seems, has confirmed
the cure, for there has been no symptoms of its return for
the last six years. In my individual use of it 1 find it o
be on unequalled tonic, and sincerely recommend its use
to the sufferers.

Messrs. Jones At runs—Gentlemen: j I have recently
been laboring under the distressing effects of indigestion,
accompanied l,v a prostration of tba tervus ,-ystem.
nuni erous iciiicdies were recommended by riends. and
some of them tested, but without relief. Your Uoofland'e
German Bitters were recommended by persons who had
tried them, and whose favorable mention of the Bitters
induced mo also to try them. I must confess that I had
an aversion to Patent Medicines, from the "thousand and
one" quack "Bitters" whose only aim seems to be to palm
off sweetened arid drugged liquor upon the community,
in a sly way: and the tendency of which, 1 fear, is to
make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning that
yours was really a medicine preparation, I took it with
happy effect. Its action was not upon only the stomach,
but upon the nervous system, was prompt and gratifying.
I feel that I have derived great and permanent benefit from
the nsc of a few bottles. Verv respectful! v v §
