DE.MCUTISEU S.nOKJ.Nti TOBAC-CO.?Great Desideratum for Smok-

ers.?The undersigned offer to the consumers olSmoking Tobacco, an article which has been pro-Bounced by all who have tested it, superior to anypreparation of the weed for smoking purposes,which has yet been otiered to the public. The pe-c_iar advantage of the article which they offer, isthis: in a.l tobacco there is aconcrete oil, Nicotine,tne ofits active principles, and which is eminentlypoisonous Theeffects of this principleare disa-greeably felt, more or less, upon the nerves andstomach,by ail smokers. The Tobacco offered bythe undersigned has been entirely deprived of itspoisonous properties, whilst, at the same time, itretains all its fragrant and aromatic qualities. Sozci'.d and pleasant has it been rendered that personsci weak nervescanuse it without inconvenience.?It has the additional advantage thatit does notleavethat strong and pungent odor so perceptible andtfier.=ive in close rooms.

I deem it due to the public at large,but especiallyto those at a distance, to state, that Dr. JOHN DU-VAL. the Proprietor of the Family Anti-Spa».modic, is a graduate of the University of Pennsyl-vania, as may be seen by reference to the MedicalRecorder, vol. 1, page 304, published in Philadel-phia in 1818. And in further confirmation of hisciaim to public confidence, in reference to theclaims of this medicine and the pamphletaccom-panying it, we present to the public toe followingcertificate of a number of highly respectable citi-zens, of the county ot his long residence, besidesothers of different sections.

WE, the undersigned.do hereby certify thatDr. JOHN DUVAL has been a resident "of thecounty of King & Queen, Va., for some thirtyyears: that he is a regular physician; has doneone of the most extensive practices amongst us,and is fully worthy of the public confidence in anystatement which he may make.

With a Healing Balm we coine to greetyou,

THE action of this Liniment upon the humanorganization is truly wonderful Its volatile,penetrating, soothing and healing properties diffusethemselves to the very bones. ~lt enters into thecirculation of the blood, gives a new impulse tothe whole nervous system, stimulates the absor-tents and secretions, and thus assists nature tothrow off and rid herself of any diseased action ofthe nervous chords or ligaments, making it equallyapplicable to sores of any kind, rheumatism, orPAINS IN ANY PART OF THE BODY, givingabundant reasons of its great efficacy in so manydifferent diseases. While it is perfectly harmlessto healthyflesh, skin or bone, it acts upon scientiiicprinciples and FIXED LAWS OF THE CREA-TION . The large number of cases in which thisLiniment has proved its great value in the shorttime it has been in Virginia, is sufficient to givethegreatest confidence, that its virtues are incompara-ble in the cure of Rheumatism, Bruises, Sprains.Burns, Wounds, Swellings, Broken and CakedBreast, old Sores. &c.

Charles Robinson. Esq., Easton, Md., in a letterto Dr. Jackson, January 9, 1850, said?"My wife and myseli have received morebenefitfrom your medicine than any other we have evertaken for the Dyspepsia andLiver disease.""The Tenth Legon." published at Woodstock,Va., January 10, 1850, said?"A Great Medicine."

"We have uniformlyrefrained from recommend-ingto the publicany of the various Patent Medi-cines ol the day. unless thoroughly convinced oftheir value. Among those we consider worthy ofnotice is the German Bitters, invented by Dr. Hoof-land, and preparedby Dr. Jackson, in Philadelphia.One instance in particular, in which the superiorvirtues ol this medicine has been tested, has fallenunder our observation During the last summer, ason oi Mr. Abraham Crabill, of this county, wasve-y seriously afflicted with Liver Complaint,andalter tryingin rain various remedies, he purchaseda bottle of the Bitters, and after using it, was somuch relieved of his distressing maJariy, that heprocured another bottle, BEd in restored entirely tohealth."

MORE EVIDENCE.The "Philadelphia Saturday Gazette," the bestfamily newspaper published in the United StatesThe editor says ofDR. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN FITTERS:

"It is seldom that we recommend what aretermed Patent Medicines to the confidence and pa-tronage of ourreaders; and, therefore, when we re-commend Dr. Hoofliand's German Bitters, we wishIt to be distinctly understood that we are not speak-ing ot the nostrums of the day, that are noisedabout for a brief period and then forgotten after ithas done its guilty race of mischief, but of a medi-cine leng established, universally prized,and whichhas met the hearty approvalof the faculty itself."

This medicine has* attaiced that high oharacterwhich is necessary for all medicinoe to attain to induce counterfeits toput forth a spurious article atthe risk of the lives of those who are innocentlydeceived.

From the Savannah Republican of December 20th,1851, written by A.K.Moore. Esq., recommendsthe Mustang Liniment in the following manner:This medicine is now offered to the people ofGeorgia for thefirst time. Our personalexperienceenables us to recrmmend this Liniment to thtpublic with confidence, as we have felt the goodeffects upon a sprained a'lclt, which received greatbenefit from one application, and has been almoetcured by the occasional use for a week.

THE DAILY DISPATCHI f?' The following article is taken from a

magazine, the name of which we do not know,as it was forwarded to us by a friend who for-got to give it. We mention this fact, becausethe two prose paragraphs have the appearanceoi being original. Lord Byron has said, veryjustly, that you can steal anything from anauthor, with more safety than his writings, un-less it be his purse. Warrfed by the words ofso great a judge we take occasion to say thatwe wrote nothing of what follows, but that itall came from the magazine alluded to:

Macaronic Poetry.A recent article in the London Examiner, in re-

viewing a new French book by M. Octave Dela-pierre, called "Macaronea ou Melanges de Littera-tare Macaronique des dift'erents peuples de l'Eu-rope,' says that "the true Macaronic takes avulgar,tongue and makes it classical with Latin endingsft is a jumble of Latin whether with Italian orFrench and German latinized, interspersed with afew woids truly Latin, and some homely sentencesof humor." Theophilo Folengo, an Italian, wholived in the 16th century, is said to have been theinventor of this sort ol verse. Its name is derivedfrom the Italian Macaroni, eatables composed offlour, cheese and butter, and very significantly expresses the peculiar mixture of word and sentimentappropriate to its character. As a specimen otMacaronic verse of the present day, the Examinergives the following, byGilbert Abbott A'Eeckett

Qui nunc dancere vult modo,Wants to dance in the fashion, Oh!Discere debet ought to know,Kickere floor heel and toe.One, two, three,Hop with me,

Whirligig, twirligig, rapide.Polkatn jungere, virgo, vis.Willyou join thepoika, Miss?Liberius.?most willingly,Sic agimus?then let us try :

Nunc vide,Skip with me,

Change hands, ma'am;Celere?run away, just in sham.

We find thefollowing published in anew BostonLiterary Journal, called "To-Day," about which,the editor says: "We printit because, althoughwepresume it is quitelamiliar to our readers, we thinkthey will be glad to see it relieved from the load ofmis prints which, in its travels over the ccuntry, ithas accumulated, and more particularlybecause wewish to present to their notice the strictly accurateversion following it, which we know will be newto them." Our readers have often heard of dog-Latin ; did they ever before seeany cat-Latin ?

Lord Timothy Dexter.?Most of oar rea-ders have probably heard of that singular andextraordinarycharacter, LordTimothy Dexter,of Newburyport. In looking overa file of ourpaper for 1801, say a the Salem Register, wefound the following characteristic specimen ofhis literary ability, copied verbatim et litera-tim from his own writing. It is a part ofa schedule of the ornaments then already executed,and in contemplation, to be placed around hiaresidence."The three Presidents, Doctor Franklin,John hen-Cock, and Mr. Hamilton, and Rouf-fous king, and John Jea.

THE DAILY DISPATCH.~ Mn TEXAS NEWS.Texa! n» u *' publishe« the details ofTexas news by ,he Loui.ian.. The item ofchief interest is the murder of J. p FulkersnnSheriff, at Port La, aea: ulkerson,

Augustus Sharkey, th- murderer, i, , i a?emigrant from M.ssissippi. He provoked !quarrel with a peaceable citizen ot Lavacaand attacked him with a slung shot Th*weapon was wrested from him by a bv st>»w»and placed in sheriff Fulkerson's hands whohad just then arrived and commanded thepeaceSharkey demanded it with a threat that hewould have -'it or him." Fulkerson went toJustice Maulding for a warrant, and Sharkeyimmediatf ly got his rifle, went to Maulding'soffice, and without the lea«t warning, shotFulkerson in the heart, remarking, with demonlike coolness and an oath, that he was the bestshot in the State. He then made an attemptto escape on horseback, but was seized andironed. A town meeting was called to considerthe matter, and determined to !et the law takeits course. During its sitting and throughoutthe day, while intense excitement prevailed,Sharkey manifested the most reckless spirit?told them he had killed three men in Missis-sippi, and if he got away he would kill fourothers in Lavaca?and in every way defied anindignant and deeply afflicted people, whilethe blood of the victim was yet warm. Undersuch circumstances, in a community wherethe deceased was beloved by all, the sequelto the bloody scene, though an outrage, willnot appear surprising. During the night fol-lowing, the guiity man was seized and draggedfrom the hands of the officers, and in the morn-ing was found suspended to the limb of a treenear by.

The following item shows that human life isheld cheap in Texas :

A few weeks ago a young man namd JohnP. Stieet, went ta Victoria having in chargea mulatto woman. A gentleman came on fromAlabama in pursuit of bim, as a negro thief.Street had suspected pursuit and left Victoriawith the stolen woman, a day or two before thegentleman's arrival; he was followed by somecitizens and overtaken in Lavaca county, whenhe drew a revolver and shot the woman deadand mortally wounded himself so that he diedin about two hourp.

The steamer Camden, decending the Brazos,struck a snag and sunk.The Houston Telegraph has heard that

some alarm is manifested in Washington coun-ty, owing to the conduct of the negroes onsome of the plantations. It is suspected thatnegro thieves or abolitionists have been tam-pering with the slaves in that section.

The San Antonio Ledger «a) s. there is nodoubt but that the city and its vicinity is in-fested with as graceless a set of horse thieves,as the celebrated Murrel would have desiredto lead in his palmiest days.

The prospect for good crops is encouraging,The Flood in the Rappahannoce.?The

Fredericksburg Newssaysthe amountof dam-age to the Rappahannock Canal will not ex-ceed $150G. From the same paper we ex-tract the following items :

It gives us pain to leurn that our old fiiendCol. John A. Porter, of Orange, had his millswept off. Our friend Commodore Ellis, hadone of his boats with 700 bushels of wheatlost. Capt. Young (Commander in Chief ofafleet of boats on the Rappahannock Canal)lost one of his boats with flour, and his pocketbook containing $100?himself and crew bare-ly escaped wiih life, after swimming a longdistance and ful>jected lo several duckings. Aboat and 180 barrels of flour were lost on IIa-zle river wftere serjous damage, we learn, hasbeen done the canal. Two wagons carrvingmerchandize to Culpeper, camped near Ely'sFord. When asleep at night, the water roseabove their encampment, and aroused themfrom their slumbers not until they were im-mersed in the reviving beverage. With greatdifficulty the horses fastened to the wagonswere rescued, the wagons then floating, drawnout by the driverswith all the goods seriouslydamaged. We have many such incidents.

Cure for Tooth-ache.?Mr. James Beat-son, of Airdrie, says: Gum Copal, when dissolv-ed in chloroform,forms an excellent compoundfor stuffing the holes of decayed teeth. I haveused it very frequently, and the benefit my pa-tients have derived from it has been astonishing.The application is simple and easy. I cleanout the hole, and moisten a liittle cotton withthe solution: I introduce this into the decayedpart, and in every instance relief hasbeen mostinstantaneous. Tlie chloroform removes thepain, and the gum copal resists the action ofthe saliva; and as the application is so agree-able, those who may labor under this dreadfulmalady would do well to make a trial of it.Medical Times and Jour.

ny Register writing from Minnesota says:"It is a singular fact that the ordinary field

birds and songsters socommon in old settle-ments,and also the honey bee, unknown herebefoie, have migrated hither with civilizedman. The Indians say that the rattlesnake*follow in his wake also. Be that a* it may,while they are numerous further down theMississippi, they have not yet made their de-but into this locality. In the neighborhoodof Sauk Rapids, however, some have bees kill-ed where, it is said, they were never seen tillrecently."

minute, or 864,000 gallons in twenty-fourhours, exceeding any well in America. Thewater flows out with such force, tirnt ifpiecesofstone as large as an or a half-dollar,are thrown in, they are immediately ejected.The sand, gravel, &,c., made by the auger, arealso forced out by water, which is perfectlyclear, limpid, and pleasant to the taste. Thediameter of the well is a little over si* inches,and it is Mr. Matthews'intention, as soon ashe has had it tubed the entire distance nowcompleted, to have the boring continued to agreater depth. This will make it, it is be-lieved, the most wonderful Artesian Well inAmerica.

"What is the best attitude for self defence?"said a pupil (putting on gloves,) to a wellknown pugilist. "Keep a civil tongue in yourhead," was the significant reply.

"I feel," said an old lady, "that I've gotabout through with this world. I shan't enjoymuch moretrouble, nor suffer much more com-fort."

When prosperity was well mounted, she letgo thebridle, and soon came tumbling out ofthe saddle.
