TYPES.—It may well be said "we live in an age
of wonders:" discoveries npon discoveries follow each
other so rapidly, and inventions succeed inventious so
numerously that "the march of intellect" in the fields
of literature can scarcely keep pace with the strides
of improvement in science ana the fine arts. We
have scarcely become familiar with the electric lan
guage of the telegraph —borne on its serial couriers
from seaboard to frontier throughout our vast, intelli
gent and happy republic—or ceased admiring the
magical beauty of the delicate and truthful Daguer
reotypes, transfixed by the instantaneous concentra
tion of the sun's rays ere we are again astonished by
another and still superior invention, the Stereoscope.
We have been led to make these remarks after
looking at a Stereoscopic likeness of a beautiful young
ladv, made doubly beautiful by the aid of this hand
maid to the arts, the Stereoscope. We must not for
get to say that we saw all this at SIMONS', 151 Main

VA L U ABLE MEDICINES.—FKOM
THE LABORATORY OF THE CELEBRA
TED DR. J. 8. ROSE, OF PHILADELPHIA—
These Medicines are all of high repute, and can be
relied upon as suiting the diseases for which they are
recommended, as they are the result of an extensive
Medical Practice fbr the last thirty years in the City ef
Philadelphia.
For all Nm*ou« Affections.—Dß. J. S.
ROSE'S NERVOUS AND INVIGORATINO COR
DIAL The greatest discovery hi medical science.
This astonishing medicine, fbr raising up a weak con
stitution, debilitated by care, labor, study or disease,
acts like a charm. It gives strength and appetite, and
possesses great invigorating properties. For Heart
Diseases, all Nervous Affections, Flatulence, Heart
burn, Restlessness, Numbi,«ss, Neuralgia, raising the
sniritii, and giving power to the whole system, it hp
almost miraculous in its effects. Fifty cents a bottle.
The Great I'ain Curer.—TO THOSE WHO

ner of most diies,ses. Cure the pain and von check

Great Cure for all Bowel Complaints.—Dlt-
J. S. ROSE'S CARMINATIVE BALSAM.—A sure
remedy for all Bowel Complains. This mixture !•
one of the most important medicines, and should be
kept in all families. As a soothing preparation it has

A YER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, FOR
-C\. THE CURE OF COUGHS, COLDS, HOARSE
NESS, BRONCHITIS, WHOOPING COUGH,
CROUP, ASTHMA AND CONSUMPTION.—Many
years of trial, instead of impairing the public confi
dence in this medicine, lias won for it an appreciation
and notoriety by far exceeding the most sanguine ex
pectations of its friends. Nothing but its intrinsic
virtues and the unmistakeable benefit conferred on
thousands of sufferers, could originate and maintain
the reputation it enjoys. While many inferior reme
dies thrust upon the community have failed and been
discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, con
ferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget,
and produced cures too numerous and too remarkable
to be forgotten.
While it is a fraud on the public to pretend to say
that any one medicine will infallibly cure—still there
is abundant proof that the CHERRY PECTORAL
does not only as a general thinj:, but almost invariably
cure the maladies for which it is employed.
As time makes these facts wider and better known,
this medicine has gradually become the best reliance
of the afflicted, from the log-cabin of the American
peasant, to the palaces of European kings. Through
out this entire country, in every State, city, and in
deed almost every hamlet it contains. Cherry Pectoral
is known as the best remedy extant tor diseases of the
Throat and Lungs; and in many foreign countries, it
is coming to be extensively used by their most intelli
gent physicians. In Great Britain, France and Ger
many, where the medical sciences have reached their
highest perfection, Cherry Pectoral is introduced, and
in constant use in the Annies, Hospitals, Aims-Houses,
Public Institutions, and in domestic practice, as the
surest remedy their attending Physicians can employ
for the more dangerous affections of the lungs. Also
in milder ca.-es, and for children it is safe, pleasant and
effectual to cure. In fact, some of the most flattering
testimonials we receive have been from parents who
have found it efficacious in cases particularly inciden
tal to childhood.
The Cherry Pectoral is manufactured by a practical
Chemist, and every ounce of it under his own eye,
with invariable accuracy and care. It is sealed and
protected by law from counterfeits, consequently can
be relied on as genuine without adulteration.
We have endeavored here to furnish the commu
nity with a medicine of such intrinsic superiority and
worth as should commend it-self to their confidence—
a remedy at once safe, speedy and effectual, which
this has by repeated and countless trials preved itself
to be: and trust by great care in preparing it with
chemical accuracy, of uniform strength, to afford Phy
sicians a new agent on which they can rely for the
best results, and the afflicted with a remedy "that will
do for them all that medicine can do.

CELEBRATED GERMAN BITTERS ! Prepared
by Dr. C. M. JACKSON, No. 120 Arch street, Phila
delphia.
Their power over the above diseases is not excelled,
if equalled, by any other preparation in the United
States, as the cures attest, in many cases after skilful
physicians had failed.
tfhese BITTERS are worthy the attention of inva
lids. Possessing great virtues in the rectification of
diseases of the liver and lesser glands, exercising the
most searching powers in weakness and affections of
the digestive ergans, they are, withal, 6afe, certain
and pleasant.
READ AND" BE CONVINCED.—The "Philadel
phia Saturday Gazette" says of Dr. Hooflaud's Ger
man Bitters-.
"It is seldom that we recommend what are termed
Patent Medicines, to the confidence and patronage of
our readers: and therefore, when we recommend Dr.
Hooiland's German Bitters, we wish it to be distinctly
understood that we are not speaking of the nostrums
of the day, that are noised about for a brief period
and then forgotten after they have done their guilty
race of mischief, but of a medicine long established,
universally prized, and which has met the hearty ap
proval of the faculty itself."
"Scott's Weekly" said, August 25:
'Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters, manufactured by
Dr. Jackson, are now recommended by some of the
most prominent members of the faculty as an article of
much efficacv in cases of female weakness. Persons
of debilitated constitutions will find these Bitters ad
vantageous to their health, as we know from experi
ence the salutary effect they have upon weak systems.'

render many persons, too indifferent to the diseased

are gone, they can be replaced by prettier ones tha*
those nature had furnished.
To all such I would say, that Artificial Teeth are

that should be the last resort, as the mouth can be

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT.—The under
signed have purchased the right to use Dr. ALLEN'S
PATENT IMPROVEMENT in the mode of insert
ing ARTIFICIAL TEETH, which is one of the
greatest and most important inventions ever made in
this branch of the Dentist's art.
The improvement consists in the employment of a
metal superior to gold in purity, and in the complete
union of all the teeth by a silicious compound, which
at the same time forms the most beautiful and natu
ral looking gum, and tilling up all crevices and irregu
larities, and rendering it impossible for the teeth to
become unpleasant to the wearer by the accumula
tion of particles of food or other substances between
them. No other mode of mounting artificial teeth la
comparable to this in any respect.
Persons wearing teeth (inserted in the ordinary
way, and not giving satisfaction,) are invited to tir
this invention, which they can do at but little addi
tional cost.
We shall be pleased to show specimens of this ktad
of work to any persons who will call at onr office,
whether they want artificial teeth or not.

loan, together with their original Capital of Threo
Million, will be expended on the road.
The road will extend from Lynchburg to the Ten
nessee line, a distance of 205 miles, where it will con
nect with other similar improvements extending to
Memphis, on the Mississippi river, thereby affording,
when the Soutliside and Petersburg and Norfolk Rail
reads are completed, a continuous communication
from Norfolk, Petersburg and Richmond, to Memphis.
It passes through that portion of our State remarka
ble for its fertility, its agricultural and mineral pro
ductions, and from the large and increasing business
which it already commands, the friends of the road
are sanguine that it will certainly pay 8 per cent, it'
not more. The whole work is under contract, and
will be completed by the Ist of January, 1855. A
copy of the mortgage can be seen at onr office, and
any information in regard to the Bonds, can be had oft
application to PURCELL i. CO.,
