The long-3«ffering public is informed that T,*)o*>,tXH> pinholes have been punctured into his flesh, and that each pinhole brought forth a tear of pain— 7,W*J,000 tears. He is a Count, and was captured by the Tartars. For three months the poor wretch was tortnn-d with hours of piuhoting and friction with indigo. He is now rapidly amassing a fortune by exhibiting himself in a state of nature in front of a stove. An piece of Chinese carving is exhibited at the Philadelphia Exhibition, On art elephant's tusk is represented a Chinese etty situated on the side of a mountain, and containing .Toss house, palaces, pagodas, and military processions, while every minute detail of Celestial street and domestic life is with marvellous accuracy. The carving is the work of one man. ;i.".d oeettptet him for three years, yet the value «>f native labour in China is so inconsiderable_ t'tiat the worth of the work is only estimated at £i>l.

Many people complain of fatigue in the eyes, oi- weakness of sight ; they cannot read or write for any length of time v.ithout the page becoming indistinct and the tetters running into each other. Tiiese are sytuptoms which em be removed by attention to the general health, rest, tonics, and freiptfiuly (three or four times a day) bathing "the forehead and eves with cold water, liut never neglect tltem. Cold bathing of the whole body every day, tnaktog a habit of it. in htcU »* a gr - and conservator of the sight. n.T tliis purpose, if the person can bear it, the shower bath is the b: st, but in taking a plunge bath, always dash a little water in the face i: rst, then spring bo'dlyin ; don't take the wafer a toe at a time. When your eyes are at all weak never work in the twilight, and never go out in very bright stmsuine. ■

Holloway's Olntment ajtd Pills.— For had legs, bad breasts, scorbutic and scrofulous sores, this is an infallible specific. The loud expressions <>f earnest gratitude made by thousands who have experienced its unrivalled power over these complaints, and who have been raised from prostrate helplessness and a condition loathesome to themselves and others, render it quite unnecessary to enlarge in this place upon its extraordinary virtues. The parts afi'ected should be bathed with lukewarm water, and when the p.nes arc thereby opened the Ointment should be well rubbed in, at least twice aday. It is always advisable to take Hollo way's Pills in lhe.-:e disorders, as the action of the Ointment is thereby -wonderfully enhanced. The Piils check fever, purify the blood, and eject all morbid matter engendered by diseases.
