MASTEIt•PIIiCE OUTDONE.—We have late
ly supposed Ayer's Cherry Pictoral was the
'Ultima Thule in its line, and that nothing luul
been or would be invented which could surpass
it in its fine points of excellence as a medicine.
But we are confidently assured by those com
petent to judge on the subject, that Dr. Ayer's
new Pills excel in high medical artistry even
that widely celebrated embodiMent of his skill.
Ile has succeeded in making them not only
pleasant to take but powerful to cure the lar

Sive retnedy.—Laincusle? Argus, Ky.
DON'T PAINT You ILua.—The following
warning paragraph appears in the London
Titles :
•' A man was placed a few days ago in a lu
natic asylum at Berlin, to he treated for men
tal alienation, brought on by the use of hair
dye. On examining the dye which he had em
ployed, it was ascertained to be composed of
lead, mercury and lunar caustic. It produced
violent pain in the head, and at length led to
madness."
THIS LAMEST NOMIOCIt or LAMM—At the
concert of the Campbell Minstrels, on Thurs- -
day evening, the gold watch offered to the gen
tleman who should escort the largest number
of ladies, was awarded to Mr. J. Dickey, he
having brought no less than ninety three
ladies. A brighter array of beauty than his

A SWIFT Coiirosrron.—The Boston Jot r
of the bth inst., says :—" Mr. I. F. Jones, a
compositor in the Journal office, Jost Week com
posed, distributed and corrected one hundred
and twenty thousand three hundred ems, which,
at the price paid-32 cents per thousand outs
—ampunted to $38.49. We believe this is by
far the largest bill ever made by any type-set

POTATO CRICESHOAKES.—BoiI six ounces of
potato, and four of lemon peel; beat the latter
in a mortar with four ounces of lump sugar;
then add the potatoes well beaten and 4 ounces

Tim NOVRLTIES OF UTAII.-A private letter
from Nauvo city, Utah county, U. T. (fifty
miles from Great Salt Lake,) contains the fol
lowing items of intelligence :
We live in sight of snow the year round. We
can, as it were, pick flowers with one hand and
gather snow with the other. It is warm in the
valleys; healthy, pleasant and fruitful, with
seldom any rain, but we have plenty of' moun
tain streams to irrigate our fields and gardens,
so that the latter do not suffer for want of
moisture. We have no fever and ague ; there
is always a mountain breeze which affords us a
very pure atmosphere. Groceries are very
high ; coffee and sugar sell at fifty cents per
pound ; calico is from twenty to thirty cents
per yard, and other things are in proportion.—
We have been very busily engaged in making
sugar, which is manufactured from a sort of
honey-dew or sugar coating, which falls on the
leaves of the cottonwood trees, and resembles
the frosting on cake. There have been several'
thousand pounds of sugar made from this sub
stance within a few days, and it sells readily at
forty cents per pound. '

CANCERS.--In reference to the curability of
cancers, a very eminent physician of the alio
phatic school ; Dr. Monroe, of Edinburgh, states
that he witnessed the extirpation of sixty
two cancers, and not two of the patients were
free from the disease two years afterwards !
This appears to be poor encouragement for any
one to undergo a painful and often dangerous
operation.
THE WAY Tour vo to CONGO.—In Congo the
negroes take their wives for a year on trial : if
at the end of that time they are satisfied, the
wedding is celebrated with a feast. The mis
sionaries tried to abolish this.custom, without
success ; the mothers declaring that they would
not risk the happiness of their daughters by
urging them to an indissoluble union with per
sons with whose habits and tempers they were
unacquainted.
George Law.—The N. Y. Tribune says,
GEORGE LAW spent $lO,OOO to carry New York
State for the Know Nothings at the late election.
The Argus says, if he has so much spare cash,
he had better come to Easton and settle the
washer-woman's bill he forgot to pay, when he
left there a few years ago.
DEATHS FROM CONSUMPTION.—According to
the official , abstract, four thousand six hundred
and ten deaths of consumption occurred in
Massachusetts during the year 1854, of whom
one thousand nine hundred and three were
males, and two thousand seven hundred and
seven females, a preponderance on the part of
the latter of seven hundred and ninety-four.
A GrILEAT RACE.—Lecompte, the horse that
beat Lexington several months since at New Or

course by Arrow. The first three miles were
won by Lecompte in 6 minutes ; the second
heat by Arrow in 0.03, coming in fifty feet
ahead of Lecompte, " swift as the arrow from
the bow."
THE Flits? SHAD.—A correspondent of the
Savannah Morning News announces that the
first shad of the season was caught by Charles
E. Smith, in Savannah river, on the 7th, in a
pike net, and was sold for $45.

RAILWAY TICLEGRAPI/S.—The New York and
Erie Railroad, at its own expense, has erected
wires along its entire line. The expense of
putting up this telegraph was some $50,000,
and,the cost of operating it is about 830,000
a year; yet the Superintendent, Mr. McCallum,
states that the value of the services rendered
by it is more than $lOO,OOO a year. By its
means each Division Superintendent maintains
a constant control over all the trains in his di
vision, and it frequently happens that every
train is running under special orders transmit
ted by the telegraph. Indeed, whenever any
train is more than ten minutes out of time, the I
fact and cause of the delay are at once reported
to the General Superintendent fur his action.
Thus every employer on the road is held to con
stant accountability for any delay occasioned
by his fault. Every railroad in our country
should have his own telegraph.

PILLS.
FAMILY PHYSIC.
THERE has long existed a public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. Thin has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an exten
sive trial of its virtues has conclusively shown With
what success it accomplishes the purpose designed.
It is easy to make n physical pill, but not easy to
make the best of all pills —one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages, of
every other. this has been attempted here, and
with; what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. It has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
griping pain and revulsion in the system as to more
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from a previously existing obstruc
tion or derangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no hams can arise from their use in any
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciously. Minute 'directions fin their
use in the several 'diseases to which they are ap
plicable are given on the box. Among the cons
plaints which have been speedily cured by them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundice, Indigestion ' Languor and Loss of Ap
petite; Listlessness, Irritability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins ; for, in truth, all these are but the con
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an
aperient they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tiveness, Piles, Colic, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood ; in short, any
"and every case where n purgative is required.
They have also produced some singularly sue
misfol cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the siring of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system fur the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomachs and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe
tite and'vigor. They purify the blood, and, by their
stimulant action on the circulatory system, rem".
vete the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Donee an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious derangement exists; but un
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
n physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body ; and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer a better purimse than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need of a
cathartic medicine. Being. sugar-wrapped they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no
harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
For minute directions see wrapper on the liox.

For the rapid Cure of

CROUP, ASTHMA, AND
CONSUMPTION.
Tiles remedy has won for itself such notoriety
from its cures of every' variety of pulmonary (Mimic',
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evi
deuces of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its use
fulness, and so numerous the cases of its cures,
that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appa
rent to escape observation, and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous affec
tions of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate. And not only in formidable at
tacks upon the lungs, but for the milder varieties
of COLDS, COUGHS, HOARSENESS, &c. ; and for
CHILDREN it is the pleasantest and safest medicine
that can be obtained.
As it has long been in constant ase throughout
this section, we need not do more than assure the
people its quality is kept up to the best that it ever
has been, and that the genuine article is sold by—

cured the above process and is prepared to execute
PORTRAITS for all who desire them. Those por
traits fur axed the Daguerreotype, and only need to
be seen to be appreciated. They are without the
guars of the Daguerrotype, and hence may be seen in
uny view. They are not reversed,. but show every
thing in its true position. They are taken in one
fifth of the time of a daguerreotype, hence the advan
tage for taking small children, which requires but
one second in a bright light. They aro taken in dark
and rainy days as quick as daguerreotypes on the
clearest andt brightest days. They can ho seen on
either side or the plate. They are far moro durable
than any picture ever made by light, being taken on
plate glass, to which another plate of the same size is
hermetrically scaled with nu indestructible cement, by
- which the picture retains its brilliancy forages. It
will not corrode by acids nor be injured by scaler or
climate. The process for taking.these pictures being
indented, Mr. Burcaw has bought the right for Lehigh
County, and having spared no expense in obtaining
!the best instructions and everything necessary fur the
production . 'of these
INIMITABLE PICTURES,
in the highest style of the art, and being proud of the
Allentouians, inasmuch as they have always encour
aged his efforts of improvement by their liberal pat
ronage, he has ventured, at some considerable ex
pense, into this now and beautiful Art, feeling confi
dent of a continuance of the same. These pictures
are conceded by all who havo seen them to bo the
most beautiful and truthful ever produced by the
Photographic Art. The exceeding fineness, depth of
light and shade, richness of tone and brilliancy, is
wonderful. The term Ambeotype, by which these
pictures aro designated, is from tho Greek " antbro
toe," signifying indestructibility, permanency, &c.,& c.
Copies of Daguerreotypes, Oil Paintings, Engravings.
or any object whatever, made by this process, finer
than by any other known. Ambrotypo Stereoscopes
must be seen to be appreciated—they are perfection.
Persons wishing
DAGUERREOTYPES
can have them done up in Burcaw's well-known and
superior style for SI and upwards, and warranted in
the highest style the art is capable of producing.—
The public is most respectfully invited to call and ex
amine the new style of pictures, as well ns his splen
did collection of Daguerreotypes, whether they wish
pictures or not. Rooms 26 East Ilamiltin Street.
