Florida Land Agency.
^SIHE undersigned has established an AGENCY in
H- the town of Alligator, Columbi.a County, Florida,
for the PURCH.\SE, SALE or LOCATION of LAND
warrants, the PURCHASE and SALE of LANDS
generally, improved or unimproved.
The fact now being established that a Rail Road is
to be constructed immediately, connecting the Atlantic
and the Gulf of Mexico, running through the entire
length of^his County, east and west; and in view of
the i5reat fertility of our soil, the unusually fine growth
of pine timber on the land, the healthfulness of the
climate, and the reasonable terms on which lands can
now be obtained, there is perhaps no section of the
Lmon which offers equal inducements to the emigrant
from the other States.
Having had some experience in farming on the dif
ferent kinds of land, and acquired a general knowledge
of them throughout the County; and having acquired
unusual facilities for pointing out such as are for sale,
either of public or private lands, he feels very confi
dent of making it the interest of all persons wishing
information, or who may have determinsd to settle in
Florida to cull on him. WILL. 0. JEFFREYS.

Mr. W'. H. Lippitt,—Dear Sir:—Without any sug
gestion or solicitation whatever on your part I take
pleasure in adding my testimony to the efficacy of
your Specific for the cure of Dysentery and kindred
complaints. Having been for three years afflicted
with a di.^ease of this character, and employing the ser
vices of three of the best physicians in this place, with
but slight advantage, I was induced to try your medi
cine, and after following the prescriptior and taking
several bottles, am now perfectly restored. I believe
your Specific to be a most excellent and valuable
medicine, and feel no hesitation in recommending it to
the public. So far from being a nostrum as too many
of the popular medicines of the day are, I believe it to
be superior for the cure of the disease indicated above,
to any other known medicine. v
I am truly yours, &c. M. BRY’ IN

STOP THE THIEF!
^TOLEN from my Lot in Richmond County, on Sun-
►5 Jay night last, my HORSE. Said horse was an
iron-gray or brownish color: he had marks of gear on
him, and his fore-top cut off very short: he was shod
on the fore feet, walked fast, is a good trotter, and
would pace; there was a white mark on his back, on
the right side, about six or eight inches square; also,
a small wart on the right side, a little below the white
mark.
The horse was taken by a man calling himself John
Campbell, who says he was raised in Pitt county, and
has besn in this neighborhood about two years: he is a
Cooper by trade, and says he has worked in Turpen
tine all his life time; ho is a little round-shouldered,
has a stout body for a small man, and will not weigh
as much as I stated, 145 or 150 pounds: has a very
mean look, is very fond of negro company, and his
conversation has a good deal of the negro mixed
with it.
I will pay $60 for the delivery of the Horse, or $50
for the thief.
