New Orleans , Feb. 05, 1848.
To Dr. Sherman's Agent, 151 Chartres street:
Dear Sir—Having derived great benefit from the
use of Dr. Sherman's Balsam, you will permit me
to address a few lines to you. 1 have been troubled
for a long time with a bad cough, together with
raising blood, to such a degree that I could scarcely
talk without coughing. À friend of mine advised
me to try Dr. Sherman's Balsam, and in less than
two weeks after its use, I find myself perfectly well,
and able to attend to my business, i bave recom
mended it to several of my friends, and in all cases
with success.
Yours, dear sir, with respect.

STILL THEY COME !
Having accidentally become acquainted with the
viitues of Dr. Sherman's All-Ilealing Balsam. I
have no hesitation in declaiing that its use in my
family warrants the assurance that it possesses all
the gifted qualities attiibuted to it. Iti one case,
where the medicine was taken on my recommenda
tion. the effect was almost magical, as the Cough
and Expectoration of mucus matter bore a strong
analogy to a decided consumptive tendency. I be
lieve a mote general knowledge of this medicine is
only required to place it among the he=t curatives
extant, for Consumption, Dyspepsia and other dis
eases arising from a disorganized state of the stom
ach and affections of the lungs.

I hereby certify, that for 18 months I had been
lingering under Consumption, and expected every
day to be iny last. At length I procured a bottle of
Sherman's Balsam, and it raised ine as it were from
the grave. It cured me, and I am now able to at
tend to my daily avocation of a boatman.

[From the Picayune ]
The Ten-Pin Alley.
This pame, so universally played
throughout the United States, is nearly
the same as the English game called 'skit
tles,'which is played generally with nine
pins. In England it is considered rather
a vulgar game, as it commonly indulged
in by the lower classes.of society. Even
the prisoners used to have their "skittle
grounds," and poor debtors were wont to
knock about the balls and bowl down the
pins, as if every one was a remorseless
creditor. Here playing at ten-pins is a
favorite amusement, and, affording exer
cise, is indulged in by all classes of socie
ty. To see the game played it would seem
as easy as winking to roll the balls down
the centre of the smoothly planed, level
alley, and knock over every pin of the
set; but there is more in it than meets the
eye. Take a peep into Caldwell's or
Murphy's, or Johnson's, of an evening,
and see the game played. Stretching out
before you, for fifty, sixty, or seventy feet
are rows of narrow planked »Heys, raised
half a foot from the ground, and about
four feet wide. Bteween the various al
leys, separated by what are called gutters,
is an inclined grooved way, for the pur
pose of rolling down the balls from the
head of the alley to the bowler. At the
extreme end of the alley is a small, ragged
urchin, placed there for the purpose of
setting up the pins. About the foot of the
alley are a number of arm chairs, in which
the players or spectators are seated, with
coats off, sleeves rolled up, and otherwise
prepared to "go in and win." You will
find men of all professions, trades and
callings, but it is very rare to hear any
betting—in fact, the rules of the alleys
expressly state that gambling is prohibi
ted.
See that tall, spare looking man, with
goggle eyes and thin arms. He is about
to bowl. He tucks up his sleeves, selects
a ball with great care, dampens his hand
on the sponge, and with an admonition to
the boy to "look out?" away goes the
ball. Bang! it comes down on the alley,
and after rolling diagonally for a few feet,
slips off into the butter. The companions
of the thin man cry 'A spare ball!' laugh
or praise him ironically, while the keeper
of the alley growls out "No lobbing!" to
which the thin man, coloring up, stam
mers out "Slipped!" and prepares for the
second trial. He takes a second ball, and
hurls it at the inoffensive pins in a spiteful
manner, but with very little success, for
by the time it reaches the head pin it
eccentrically darts off on one side. A
third ball follows the other two, and the
poor bowler is made miserable by the
jeering of his companions; he vainly
endeavors to lay the blame upon "the al
ley," or "the lights," a "stiff shoulder," or
some otheriCause which will not reflect
upon his skill. Ile is succeeded by a
second bowler, who with his three balls
suceeds in getting the entire lot—a pretty
fair roll. He is followed by a third—the
gentleman whose hair is very much
greased—the one who is so evidently got
up for effect. Poor fellow! he lost a rela
tive by the crape upon Iiis- hat. Oh, no,
not he; that's the style. He addresses the
imp at the head of the alley with, 'Why
don't yer set 'em upthere, Number Four?'
He takes his cigar from his mouth and
spits, replaces it, and takes a ball with a
carleess air, "Go ahead!" shoutsthe imp,
jumping out of the way of the balls upon
a little shelf. "Why-r-r!" goes the ball, and
C-r-rash!"go all the pins in a heap. "Ten
strike!" yelps the boy, as he turns a
somerset from his perch on to the alley.
The bowler takes another pull at his
cigar, and sits down again, having two
spare balls to roll. An active little man
next takes hold. He makes a prodigious
deal of preparation, and rushing half way
down to the pins, despatches his ball,
slides some five feet further, and then
I . , .. . , .
| squatting down as if lie was "making a
| back" for leap-frog, watches the effect
of his play. A fancy bowler takes hold
and the hall which he sends performs
most strange vagaries: first it will roll to
one side, withtn an inch of the gutting,
and then, darting off, will make for the
head pin, and down with the whole party.
Practice enables the bowler to get enor
mous scores and acquire great skill at
the game. The boys become enthusiastic
admirers of the game, and indulge in
ecstatic demonstrations of joy at a "good
lick;" but when a green one undertakes
to play, they jeer lnm most unmercifully.
Most wonderful tales are told of great
bowling done in every alley throughout
the land, but the pathetic narrative of the
spectre boy of Dioram^IIall eclipses
litem all. It was related in^he Spirit of
the Times by 'the Old 'Un,' whose veraci
ty is undoubted, and is now among "The
Stray Subjects of the Old 'Un and Young
'Un." The following verses of the balled
tells a tale of most wonderful 'tali rolling:'
"He was a bully roller—
Spares, ten-strikes fast as raitr
Came from his hand. 'Boy, set 'em up!'
And down they went again!
"A horrid scowl was on his face,
His teeth he grimly set;
He grasped his ball "and roared.
'I can do better yet!'
"What fearful meaning in that yell!
I never heard the like;
But the clock it struck eleven,
And he got a 'leven strike '
"Down flew the pins! up flew the ball,
And hit ine on the head;
And quicker than greased lightning,
My coveys, I was dead !
"He gloried in the homicide
He broke into a roar,
And shonted that he'd done the same
Eleven times before.
" ' Ho, landlord! there's a flimsy '
Come don't be cross or coy ;
Ten dollars for your alley,
And ninety for your boy !' "
Snch rolling as that is pretty hard to
beat, and may be very properly consid
ered as a " a triumph of nature over art."
California—Gold.
We copy from the Union an extract of
a letter from an officer of the U. States
to his friend in Washington, doted Lapax,
(Lower California,) August 14, 1848:
You will perceive that I tm in Lower
California, and I assure you that it is about
as low down as I ever wish to get : for it is
as hot here as it can well be. The coun
try is perfectly destitute of vegetation, ex
cept the cactus, which grows here in all
its perfection. I have seen it two feet
through the body, and thirty feet high.
It is used in buildiug houses, by splitting, as
we do timber for rails. They sometimes
use it as plank. The fruit of the cactus
(or pitaya) is used yery extensively for
food by the natives. It is certainly a good
fruit. They have also grapes, figs, pome
granates, dates, oranges, lemons, limes,
watermelons, in fact all the tropical fruits.
They seldom ever have ram in this conn
try, consequently have to raise every thing
by irrigation. The country was evident
ly at one time the seat of an immense vol
cano. You may sec its effect every where.
I wrote you a letter from Monterey, which
you may not get until the arrival of the
Congress, in February next, in which I
gave you an accoutof Upper California.
* * * I think
California a good opening for lawyers, but
it is a long way from ths city of Wash
ington. If they come out, 1 would advise
them to bring their families, so that they
may not have to return.
California can never make what you 1 *
would call an agricultural country. Wheat
does very well ; and where they bave wa
ter for irrigation, corn can be raised ; but
that is seldom found. The rainy season,
as they term it, sets in about the 1st of
November, and continues till May. What
is meant by the rainy season is what we
would call seasonable weather. The dry
season is for the balance of the year, du
ring which time it does not rain at all, so
that every thing is dried up. It is the fi
nest grazing country I ever saw for cattle,
sheep and horses; hogsthiive well. I
have never seen finer cattle anywhere.
Sheep thrive well ; but they have an in
different stock or breed.
The gold mines seem the most striking
feature at present in California. You
will doubtless see a great deal said about
it in the papers ; for I have read several
letters intended for publication, not one of
which exaggerates the matter. I have
not been to the mines, but have it from
undoubted authority that they are getting
