    WESTERN LAND AGENCY.
A CAMPBELL, Land Agent at Lasalle, II
• linois, has openedageneral Land Agency fur
Middle and Northern Illinois, and Southern Wis- !
*eosin, where he will attend to the purchase and
sale of Improved and Unimproved Lands, payment
of TAMS, Location of Mexican Land \Vervains,
making selections for those who may be entitled to
Bounty Lands under the late act of Congress, and
generally to all business connected with a general
Land Agency. ti
Baring completed arrangements whereby per
sons wishing to procure lands in this fertile and
rapidly improving portion of the West, can do so
at the miiiirnitm price of $1.25 per acre, without
the expense and risk of travelling there, any per
son who may pay to my Agent, James Maguire,
at Huntingdon, the sum of two hundred dollars,
will have one quarter section (160 acres) entered
in their name, (or as they may direct) for which
they will receive the patent from the general Lami
Office at Washington city, in their mne, clear of ,
all charges.
Satisfactory security will be given for all perform
ances on any part,and for the refunding ofthe amount
of the purchase, with 6 per cent., at the expiration
alive years, to any person who may thenti dis
satisfied with the location. .
The canal &vita Chicago to Lasalle, at the head
of Steam-boat Navigation on the Illinois River,
the Railroad from Chicago to Galena, which is
sow in process of construction, and the Railroad
from Chicago to Rock Island, ou the Mississippi
river, now completed to Aurora, some 30 miles
west of Chicago, will pass through this country
from East to West, and the great Central Raiiroad
from Galena to the mouth of the Ohio river, pass
es through it from North to South, for the con
struction of which the late Congress appropriated
a large amount of land, thereby securing, beyond
doubt, its speedy completion ; and there is uo doubt
In the mind of any person well informed upon the
subject, but Chicago will be connected with all the
Atlantic Cities by Railroad, in the course of from
two to four yoars from this time, thereby enabling
families to emigrate to this country in the short
space of from three to four days, front any portion
of the East, without the riskof travelling by steam
boat. Persons wishing to procure desirable hotm3a
for themselves and families, will do well to make
application soon, as the amount of public lands is
limited, and is being taken up rapidly by actual
settlers.

tone and softness of light and shade. By working
themselves, they not only produce pictures which
are GOOD AND CHEAP! ! but by far the best
and cheapest which can be produced at any other
establishment. Their charge for pictures in hand
tome improved cases, range from ONE DOL LA R
to three dollars, depending on the size of the pic
ture, being scarcely one-half the prices charged at
ether establishments, for pictures of equal size—
bat of inferior quality. Their GALLERY OF POW.
consisting of some hundreds, embraces a
eollection of DIS EINGUISIIED AMERICANS
worthy the attention of visitors to their rooms,
which are OPEN AT ALL TIMES.
Tue collection winch they bad deposited in the
italtibition of the Fr.tuklin luititute, was constant
ly surrounded by dense crowds of admirers, who
'owe load in thew praise or the artists' skill.
To guurd against every possibility of mistake,
*ay guarantee every picture to be of the best ma
aerials, and unless it it entirely sinisfactory to the
austomer, NO CHARGE IS MAYSE.

. _ _
For the benefit of sufferers like the and oth
ers, I d.e freely declare the following facts
have suffered more or less for twenty years with
the most desperate Rheumatism, and also for 18
years at times with most desperate pain in the
stomach, which at times seemed to expand as if
it would burst ; also for many years I was ter
ribly troubled with cramps in my legs—indeed
I can't describe all my sufferings for so long a
time. I could do no business for the last ten
years, nor had I a single good night's sleep for
the last five years. I never could find any relief
worth mentioning, until last November, when I
met with the Extract of American Oil, end to
my no little surprise I got relieved of all in a
short time and to this day. I respectfully in
vite all who choose to call and see me upon the
matter; such I can tell much more. I can say
it has done wonders on others around me in va
rious complaints. If ever an article was put
out honestly, this is one. I know it sells rap
idly here. No family in the hind will be with
out it when they once know its use.

HUNTINGDON, March 11, MO,
I do hereby certify to the following faits :
That I have suffered for five years past with
pain in my back, spine and kidnies, and never
received any relief but by bleeding, for a few
days only. Last November I got a bottle of
the Extract of American Oil, I used it inward
ly, and to my surprise it removed the complaint
in a short time. From what I have seen and
heard of its wondrous effects upon others in des
perate cases, I can freely recommend ir, and be
lieve it to be worth all the humbugs in the land,
and do believe it will do all for what it is so
highly recommended. C. COUTS.

never before gave a certificate, but this I
give with a clear conscience for the benefit of
sufferers like myself. I suffered with the Ery
sipelas or St. Antony's Fire, mixed with 'let
ter, so pronounced by my doctor, for 12 years.
The su ff ering I endured is beyond description.
At times all my hair came off my head. During
this time I had .no relief for more than a few
clays at a time. Last October 1 got a bottle of
the Extract of American Oil, used it inwardly
and outwardly, and to my great astonishment
and my neighbors, I got clear of it in a short
time, and to this time I have noticed its won
drous effects on other desperate complaints. I
do assure my friends and the public that it is
indeed a wonderful thing for many complaints.

What is the cause of this sallow complexion,
jaundiced eye, depression of spirits, pain in the
side and shoulder, weariness of body, bitter taste
in the mouth I Such is the inquiry, and such
the symptoms of many a sufferer. It is the
liver which is affected, and the Cholagogue is
the remedy, always successful in curing it.—
Try it, and judge far yourselves. For sale by
the above named agents.

tortured from day to day with this horrible A
gue, exclaims the poor sufferer whose life has
become a burden to him, from the racking par-
oxysms of an intermittent, and whoseconlidence
in human aid is destroyed by the failure of rem
edies to produce the promised relief. Such has
been the situation of thousands who are now re
joicing in all the blessings of health, from the
use of Dr. Osgood's Indian Cholagogne. In no
instance does it fail to effect a speedy and per
manent cure. For sale by above named agents.
'How few who think aright among the thinking
few ;
How many never think, but only think they do.'
TIIK sentiment implied in the above ex
clamation is on no subject more fully exemplifi
ed than on that of health. But few give it a
single thought, and fewer still reflect upon it
with the observation and good sense which mat
ters of minor consequence receive. As obser
vation teaches the fact that Dr. Osgood's Indian
ChoTagogrre is a never failing remedy in Fever
and Ague, good sense would surely indicate its
prompt and immediate use. For sale by the a
toes named agents. [July 9, 1850.
