WEBSTER’S PICTORIAL DICTIONARY IN
SOUTH AMERICA—The Publishers have inst
received an application from the “director
of the colle iate institution at Nova Fribur-

“Pictorial illustrations only.” The professor
says, “They would be useful to me in some
Of the classes of the sciences.” The illus-
trations are never sold separately from the
body of the work, but this application indi-
cates a high appreciation of their beauty and
utility.

Sales of Webster’s Dictionaries.
From certain published statements of the
leading booksellers from every part of the
country. it would seem that the sales of the
various editions of Webster’s Dictionaries
are enormous, exceeding many times the
sales of all other dictionaries put together.
We learn that there are five different edi-
tions of our great American lexicographer
now published in England, besides several
English dictionaries 'which are confessedly
based on Webster. A recent article in the
London Critic admits that the orthography
of Webster’s Dictionary is all but universal

THE N. Y. WEEKLY TIMES.
Single copies $2—‘1'wo copies for $3—

The Cheapest and Best Irhmz'ly and General
Newspaper in the United States.
HE NEW YORK WEEKLY TIMES is
a large and elegantly printed quarto
sheet, of eight pages, or forty-eight columns,
—devoted to Politics, Literatdre and Gener-
al News, and intended to be the BEST as
well as the CHEAPEST FAMILY NEWSPA-
PER in the United States.
The first aim of the TIMES is, and will al-
ways he, to keep its readers thoroughly pos-
ted up, as to everything which may happen,
of general interest, in any part of the world.
It comments fully and freely upon all topics
of importance in every department of public
action, and always in the interest ofFree-
dom, Order, and the Public Good. While
its influence will be uniformly conservative,
it advocates every measure of j ust and benefi-
cent Progress, and resists the increase, exten-
sion, or perpetuation of Slavery, as of every-
thing else incompatible with the highest
welfare of the whole community. While it
reports promptly and accurately all intelli-
gence of general interest in every depart-
ment of human activity It never panders to
vicious tastes, and exc udes from its col-
umns everything that mi ht render it unsafe
or improper for general AMILY perusal. It
seeks to promote the general Welfare by urg-
ing the claims of
EDUCATION, MORALITY AND RE-
LIGION
1
upon the masses of the people; and in all its
discussions, it endeavors constantly to be
guided and controlled by the spirit of
MODERATION. PATRIOTISM AND
COMMON SENSE.
In its CORRESPONDENCE, both Foroi n
and Domestic, the TIMES is confessed to ‘
superior to any other American Journal. Its
REPORTS of Congressional and Legislative
proceedings, Of inancial, Commercial and
GENERAL, INTELLIGENCE,
of important Legal and Criminal Trials, and
of whatever may have special interest for
the great body of the community, are full,
prompt and reliable.
Especial attentiqn is devote to full, accu-
rate and'trustwqrtliy reports 0 the
LIVE STOCK AND PRODUCE MAR-
KETS,
for which a special corps of Reporters is
maintained.
A LITERARY DEPARTMENT
will also be kept up, embracing
STANDARD NOVELS AND TALES,

Madame ZADOC PORTER’S
GREAT DOUGH REMEDY l l
ADAME ZADOC PORTER’S Curative
Balsam is warranted if used according
to the directions, to cure in all cases, Coughs,
Colds, Whoopin Cough, Asthma, and all
affections of the hroat and Lungs.
Mad‘e ZADOC PORTER’S Balsam is re-
pared with all the requisite care and s ill,
from a combination of the best remedies the
vegetable kingdom affords. Its remedial
qualities are based on its power to assist the
healthy and vigorous circulation of‘ the blood,
through the lungs. It is not a violent rem-
egy, but emollient,——warining, searching and
e ective; can be taken by the oldest person
or youngest child.
Mad’e ZADOC PORTER’S Balsam has
been used by the public for over 18 years, and
has acquired its present sale simply by being
recommended by those who have used it, to
their afllicted friends and others.
MOST IMPORTANT—Madame ZADOC
PORTER’S Curative Balsam is sold at a price
which brings it in the reach of every one to
keep it convenient for use. The timely use
of a single bottle will prove it to be worth
100 times its cost.
NOTICE.—-SAVE YOUR MONEY! !—Do not
be persuaded to purchase articles at 48. to $1,
which do not contain the virtues of a Dime
Bottle of Madame Porter’s Curative Balsam,
the cost of manufacturing which is as great
as that of almost any other medicine; and
the very low price at which it is sold, makes
the profit to the seller apparently small, and
unprincipled dealers will sometimes recom-
mend other medicines on which their profits
are larger, unless the customers insist upon
having Madame Porter’s and none other.-
Ask for Madame Porter’s Curative Balsam,
price 10 cts., and in large bottles at 20 cts.,
and take no other. If you can not get it at
one store you can at another.
Sold by all Druggists and Store-keepers at

neys, for these diseases it is truly a sovereign
remedy, and too much cannot be said in its
praise. A single dose has been known to re-

There is no class of diseases that produce

neys and Bladder, and, through a false mod-
esty, they are neglected until they are as far
advanced as to be beyond the control of ordi-

little can be done by the physicians, and we
present the
Constitution Water
to the public with the conviction that it has
no equal in relieving the class of diseases for
which it has been found so eminently suc-
cessful in curing; and we trust that we shall

would eventually break inwardly, and run my life
