A Curiovs Affair. A curious :il!';iir 1ms been brought to lijjit in Way City, Mic1iiH'nu, within a few ii:ivs j iist, tho history of which is lie Inlliiwn : f-'mnc time last f ill a man tin J his wife came hero from Columbus, Nt. ('lair county. 1'ho ir.an a Inborn', r.nd the lmly who shared his fortunes Lore is a si-fuml wife. Tin; man found ltady work, mid tho family flmirilicd. A month or two ncc a nice looking hoy, n pari iitly ahout nineteen yours of nge, c.iinr. into the family rirolo, claim ing to he the son of the lord offhtf linuse hy his former wife, nml as such the la. ily of the house, who knew -nothing cf her predecessor, nhowing her kind at tention? ami care upon tho visiting son. All went well for a month or more, when, to the horror of the lady in rjiies tion, s-'lic discovered that her lnishand had sold everything he could, and had left country with lira " son," which per. ron the wife found not only to be not her step son, but indeed not a boy, but n younj; lady, fond of her husband, and unscrupulous enough to live more than a month with him representing herself to be his son, find finally to depart with him to parts unknown. The wife of this man is left in destitute circumstan ces, and is now seeking menus with which, to return to her former home. MormoiHsni in England is collapsing.

"Wid all my heart, sa," said Sambo; " wid all this l.et.rt. Some niggers are hauty and proud, and proud and won't stoop to drink wid a police officer most, if not ehery way, as good as a nigger 'specially when dat niggor's dry." "John, my son," said a doting fath er, who was about taking his son into business, " what shall oc the stylo of the new firm ? " " Well, Governor," said the one. and twenty youth, looking in to the heavens to find an answer, " I don't know but suppose we have John II. Sampling & Fathor." Tho old gov ernor was struck at tho originality of the ideabut couldn't adopt it. There are but three kiuds of wrongs in our lives : The wrong a man tloes to his own soul or body, or suffer in cither ; the wrongs of man against his brother niau ; the wrongs between man and woman. A drunken fellow sitting on the fifeps of a church in Boston, tho cold wind blowing chillingly round tho cor ner, exclaimed. " If heaven (Mo) tern, pcrs the wind to the shorn lamb, I wish tho lamb (hie) was on this corner." " What 18 tho difference twist a watch aud a fedder bed, Sam ? " " Dun no gin it up." " Because de tickin' of do watch is on the inside, an! the ticking of the bed on the outside.''

It is a squeezing machine constructed on strictly mechanical principles, and the ex. perience derived from five years extensive use in families, hotels and public institutions proves it to be of lasting value to the pur chaser The manner of operating the Nonpareil, by rotary motion acting on a crankshaft (with balance wheel,) which moves the plungers alternately, Is the simplest, least laoonon ana most powerrul that can be de vised for the purpose, and accomplishes the work with the greatest rapidity and the least possible labor. The great speed with which this machine performs work will be understood from the statement that It is geared to give six btrokes or me plungers tor one turn ot the handle, or, when worked leisurely, about four hun dred strokes a minute Safety to the fabrie washed is insured by the entire absence of rubbing. A eirl or boy of fifteen can work the ma chine, and do a week's washing for a family of six or eight persons in two to three hours' time; and it may be relied on to cleanse the clothing thoroughly, without assistance from hand rubbing.

BE ALE'S (late towell's) EMBROCATION! I7OR ALL DISEASES INCIDENT TO Horses, 'Caltlo and tho Human Flesh, requiring the use cf an external application. This new Compound, prepared by a prac tical Chemist having a full knowledge of all the medical virtues of each ingredient that enters into its composition, is warran ted to exceed anything of the kind yet of fered to the public as an external applica tion for the diseases for which it is recom mended. We are satisfied that it will work its own road iuto the confidence of all who use it, and those who try it once will never be without it, and therefore wo rely on ex perience as the best test of its usefulness. It is pronounced by Farriers, and all who have tried it to be tho bent application ev er used. This Embrocation has been put up for over eight years, and it is only through tho increasing demand and urgent request of my friends and tho Publio that 1 send it forth as tho grand remedial agent for tho various diseases to which that noblo and useful animal, tho HORSE, isBubject. Many remedies have been offered to the Public under different forms, some of these are injurious, others at bct of little use, and many wholly improper to answer the purposes for which they are recommended. A judicious and renlly useful composition free from those objections, has therefore long been desired by many geiiilemon who have valuable horses, and are unwilling to trust them to the care of designing, and pretending Furriers. Their wishes ar at length fully gratified, by Dr. Bealo being prevailed upon to allow this valuable Em brocation (which has proved so etlleacious to the various diseases) to be prepared and brought out to the public.
