A Providential ■.
Then it no aapi ration so glorious as the
desire to do good. Howard, banding orer
tbo couch of sickness and smoothing the pil
low of death, waa greater than Napoleon at
Auaterlitz. And Thomas Holloway, whose
inestimable medicines are subduing disease
of every type, in every part of the habitable
globe, is more worthy of respect and honor
than any warrior that ever drew the sword.
When Kossuth visited the United States he
was designated by one of our clergy as the
providential man. Surely Professor Hollo
way, vvho has come to our country on a no
bler errand, better deserves the title. His
establishment in New York has been the
fonts! eource of health to thousands of our
afflicted fellow citizens. His agencies, es
tablished in every city and town of the Union,
are the people's dispensaries. What is true
of the popularity of his medicines here, is
trne throughout the world; for wherever civ
ilization has penetrated, by land or sea, they
are known and appreciated. From Green
land to Terra del Fuego— from the Mississip
pi to the Ganges—they are advertised in ev
<ery printed language, and resorted to by ra
ces of every name and color, as the only re
liable and proven remedies in all the phases
of disease. The leading medical periodicals
of London and Edinburg not only except Hol
loway's Pills and Ointment from their gener
al denunciations of patent medicines, but un
reservedly commend them. In short, if we
are to believe concurrent testimony of all na
tions, Professor Holloway has done more to
ameliorate human suffering and rob the grave
-of victims, than any other medical discover
er of this or any former sge. We have un
questionable authority for saying that his
central offices for the old and new world—
London and New York—send out annually
more than ten millione of dollars' worth of
his medicines. The statistics of the cares
efTeoted by their means, cannot, of course,
be ascertained, but judging from the facts
within our own limited sphere of observation
wo should say that no ordinary quarto volume
could contain the record. Surely the discov
erer and philanthropist who haa accomplish
ed such results may, without arrogance, be
etyled a providential man.—N. 0. Picayune.

the Act of 29tb of April, 1844:
''lf any county shall pay into the State
"Treasury its quota of tax levied on the ad
"jotted valuation, FIFTEEN days prior to the
"first day of August in any year, such county
"shall be entitled to an abatement of five per
1 'cent on the amount so paid."
1 am induced to send you this circular, not
so much from the custom which has prevail

The large and pressing demands upon the
Treasury, msny of which cannot be postpon

(which is not desirable,) unless relief is had
iu the usual quarter from the counties.
The credit of the Stale, as well as the gen

prompt payment, will no donbt induce you to
come to her relief
Be pleased to feply at an early day as to
your intention to comply with the suggestions
ol this Circular.

TONICS WON'T DO.
fItHEY neVer did do more than give tempo-
X rary relief and they never will. It is be
cause they don't touch the cause of the dis
ease. The cause of all ague and billious dis
eases is the atmospheric poison called Mias
ma or Malaria. Neutralize this poison by
its
NATURAL ANTIDOTE,
and all diseases caused by it disappears at
once. Rhodes' Fever and Ague Cure is this
Antidote to Malaria, and moreover it is a
perfectly harmless medicine. The certificate
of the celebrated chemist, J. R. Chilton, of
New York, to Ibis effect, is attached to every
bottle; therefore if it does no good it cac do
no harm.
This is more then can be said oT Quinine,
Arsenic, or any lonic in existence, as their
use is ruinous to the constitution and brings
on DUMB AGUE, which never allows a per
son lo feel perfectly well for a single moment.
In illustration of these truths I annex some
extracts from a letter just received from a
Physician:
Georgetown, Ohio, March 17, '66.
JAS. A. RHODES, Esq.—Dear Sir : Yours of
2d inst. is at hand. The Core arrived late
last year and the difficulty in getting any one
to try it was greatly increased from the fact
that a remedy had been introduced which
was growing in favor with the public, as be
ing better titan using Quinine. —not knowing
I presume that the remeJy they needed to
escape taking Quinine, contained the DRUG
ITSELF!
This remedy,(known as "Smith's Tonic ")
would invariably BREAK an ngue, but it did
not CURE it, and it would often return with
renewed vigor. The one circumstance I
deemed in your favor, if I could institute a
test comparison between it and your CURE.
The following is the result:
Three persons look your "Cure," all of
which were esses of "Quotidian Intermit
tent Fever," of many weeks standing. They
had tried Quinine, and other remedies, occa
sionally missing a chill, but it was, (as in all
such cases, i slowly wearing them out, and
laying the foundation of other and severer
maladies. I did succeed in effecting a radi
cal cure of all three of these cases with your
remedy, and they have not bad a chill since.
In all three of these cases the "Smith's Ton
ic" had been used, and would, as before sta
ted, break the chill, but after a period or two
had elapsed it would return.
1 think there will be no difficulty now in
giving to your "Cure" the vantage ground of
any other remedy now in use here. &c. &c.
WILLIAM BUCKNER, M. D.
RHODES' FEVER and AGUE CURE, or
Antidote to Malaria, Ihe only harmless reme
dy in existence, is equally certain as a PRE
VENTIVE, as a "CURE." Take it when
you feel the chill coming on, and you will
never have a single one.

The only Safe which, in every instance,
preserved the entire contents at
the late Extensive Fires.
AT THE BURNING OF THE ARTIZAN
BUILDJNGS, April 10th, and in the great
fire in Market Street, May Ist, 1856, the gen
uine HERRING SAFE preserved the Jewelry of
George W. Simms & Bro.; Books, Papers &c.
of Fisher & Bro. and Edward Bemans & Co.,
alter remaining exposed in the burning ruins
for nearly Forty Hours, and proving conclu
sively what we have always claimed for
them, their great superiority over all securi
ties known.
In these fires, the HERRING'S SAFE,
standing side by'side with those advertised
as "warranted to stand 10 per cent, more fire
than Herring's,"came forth the ackriowledg
ed victor, not only preserving their contents
in excellent order, but being themselves in a
condition to go through another ordeal, while
(he boasted "Salamanders" of other makers
were burlly used up in every instance, and
in somecasestheir entire oontents completely
destroyed.
To the public we would simply say, that,
during the fourteen years of the Herring's
Safe has been before them, more than two
hundred have passed through accidental fires
without the occurrence of a single loss.
We would, therefore, caution purchasers
against the misrepresentation of interested
parties. The Herring's l'alent is the only
Fire-proof Safe made in this city which is
protected by a Patent Right, nnd we will
guarantee it to resist more than double the
amount of heat of any other Safe now known.

A tbIITIVIV LIFE SAVED !
DOWAOIAC, Mich., March 11, 1856.
J. A. RHODES, Esq.: Dear Sir—As I look
your medicine to sell on consignment, "no
cure no pay," I take pleasure in stating its ef
fects as repotted to me by three brothers who
live in this place, and their testimony is a
fair specimen nf all I have received.
W.S. CONKLIN told nte—"l had taken
nine bottles of Christie's Ague Balsam, and
continually run down white using it until
tr.y lungs and liver wen.- congested to that
degree that bloud discharged from my mouth
and bowels, so that all thought it impossible
for me to live through another chill. The
doctors too did all they could for me, but
thought I must die. Nothing did me any
good until 1 got Rhodes' Eever and Ague
Cure, which at once relieved me of the dis
tress and nausea at my stomach and pain in
my head and bowels, and produced a perma
nent cure in a short lime."
H. M. CONKLIN says—"l had been tak
ing medicine of as good a doctor as we have
in our country, and IMtK of
quinine and specifies without any good result,
Irom 25th August to 17th December. But
seeing how nicely it operated on my brother,
I got a bottle of Rhode's Fever and Ague
Cure, which effected a permanent cure by
using two thirds of a bottle."
S. M. CONKLIN was not here, but both
the other brothers say his case was the same
as H. M's I sold the medicine to both the
same day, and the cure was ns speedy from
the same small quantity, and I might so spe
cify. Yours with respect,
A. HUNTINGTON.
The above speaks for itself. Good proof
as it is, it is of no better lennr than the vast
number of like certificates I have already
published, and the still greater amount that
is continually pouring in to me.
One thing mote. Last year I had occasion
to caution the public in these words:
"1 notice one firm who have taken one of
my generel circulars, substituted the name
o! their nostrum for n;y medicine, and then
with brazen impudence end their pamphlet
with the exclamation, 'Let the Proprietor of
any other medicine say ft mbch it be dares,'
&o. &c.
• Now I lake pleasure in saying that the
Caution referred to the same "Dr. Christie's
Ague Balsam" that is mentioned in the above
I certificate.
There are several other industrious people
who are applying to their poisonous trash all
that 1 publish about my Fever and Ague
Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, except the cer
tificates of cures, and the certificate of the
celebrated Chemist, Dr. James R. Chilton,
of New York, in favor of its perfectly harm
less character, which is attached to every
bottle. These will always serve to distin
guish my medicine from imitations.

Farm of TO. 75, 100, or more aaat adjoin*
ing in proportion. EtA Faim froot. upon a
road thirty feet in width.
The Soil la a rich limftatbne loam, and a*
pecially adapted to cultivation, a. it la neither
hilly nor atony, but gently rolling or fine table
land. Around and through ibia properly there
are already aonte 20,000 tcrea under cultivation,
and ita Fertility ha> been eatabliahed frbai the
crops pro uccd. Upon (bis subject it is easy
to be fully satisfied. There is a ready cash
market for pioduce which is much better than
trade. It is the CHEAPEST, as land of a
similar quality is selling at much higher prices,
adjoining, and especially such as contains coal.
TH E COAL—This in particular la the Coal
District, several veins underlaying the whole
property, and the attention of miners, and
those acquainted with coal landa, is specially
called to it. It bos the advantage of being the
iicmcst to the great lake market, with which
it will he connected by the Bunbury and Erie
Itoilroad now under contract and in course of
completion from Erie to llidgeway, wilh de
scending grade ihe whole way. The soil over
bituminous coal is the best, for instance Eng.
land and other rounliies. 'lhe prico per aere
is trifling for the coal alone, as it will certain
ly, in so favorable a location wilhin a short
time pay largely. This ia important aa ad
immense coal trade will soon open. Four coal
companies have already been started td Work
mil os in the vicinity, and there are now flfteeh
openings around St. Mary'a.
I'll K TIMBER, Stockholders'also received.
There ia no reservation whatever either of
timber or conl. It Is very valuable, and will
pay for a great pail of the lar.d. On account
of ihe excellence of streams tfiere are fine op
portunities for p*ills.
FOR HEALTH, the location ia much re.
commended liy Phyaicianr. The chills and
feveraare unknown, also pulmonary complaints,
bring protected from the north coat winds by'
the Alirghanies. The water is puro and amongst
the I.Cft, ihn lnd abounding on fine spring*
FtlUlt RAILROADS will ahonly be cotit.
pleted connecting it by a direct communication
witli New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Erie,
Buffalo, and all the ciiics on the lakes. They'
are the Sunburv and Erie, the Alloghany
Valley, the Pittsburg and Buffalo, and the
Venango. Energetic exortions are also being
made for the building of the Tyrone and Clear*
field, which also passes through this property.
The effect of Ibis upon Irade, and general de.
velopment, ae well as the coal, may be imagined.
The lar#e and flourishing town of B|. Mary's
is in the centre of the tract, numbering near
3,000 inhabitants. It has hotels, good public
schools, saw and grist mills, stores, well stocked
and every thing desired. There are 235 half
acre lots in the town of 81. Mary's which will
be ro'd and the proceeds equally divided amongst
those who buy farms. Ridgcway the county
real, where an extensive business ia done ad.
oins the tract ou the west. The whole district
s intersected by good turnpike, and other roads.
Thit is a rere opportunity offered to those
who wish to farm or have a good investment
or the future. By making proper inquiries,
tnd considering the advantages of good soil,
in abundance of coal, healthfulness of cli
nate, Railroad facilities, and its location, a
torrent judgment may be formed of ita pre
ent advantages and ultimate inctease.
By writing to the office directions will bd
liven to those who wish to visit the land.—
t system of excursions will shortly be adopted
There is an excellent opening for various
tranches of mechanical business, especially
anners, wheelwrights, axe handle makers,
boemakers, carpenters and others.
