spencer, Dental Sen-
:eon, from Shreveport, Louisiana, iny
tendering his serviees lo the inhabitants
of Austin, and its vicinity, and asking for a portion
of their patronage, deems it proper to remark that
his attention has been given to Dental Surgery, in
its various branches, for many years: and that dur-
ing this time he has practised in different parts ot
the country, giving, wherever thus engaged, entire
satisfaction, and receiving as evidences of^ability
and success, high conimeudatioiiandapproval. 'To
those persons who have had unfortunate experi-
ence in the way of Improper and unskilful Dental
operations, it is neceseary to say, that operations
on the teeth, unless performedpn-perty, are dear at
any price. That no art can entirely restore, aud no
money sufficiently recompense the injury which is
frequently caused by unskilful treatment of the
teeth. He would call the attention of those who
are so unfortunate as to have carious teeth, to the
great object of his pride and exertion of endeavor-
ing to excel in the important art of saving them. Mil-
lions of teeth are now annually lost which might
lie saved, bv timely and. judicious treatment. La-
dies visited at their «&>sidenccs. if re<|uired. He
would farther remark, that he has permanently set-

Improved Daguerreotypes.
PIERQE. KELLY & PIERCE have associated
themselves together, in the Daguerrean art,
lathe city of Austin, and arc prepared to execute
life-like likenesses, of the latest and most approved
styles. With long experience and -close attention
to this most beautiful art; vre feel confident in say-
ing, that our pictures will'compare both in the life-
like expression of the persons taken, and the blend-
ing of the colors to nature, with those taken by the
best artists in the United States.
Daguerreotype Excelsior !!—This imitation of
'■Miniature on Ivory," is the most beautiful im-
provement in the art, and the most discerning eye
but seldom distinguishes this from the reality. Our
instruments are the best, which enables us to take
pictures in all kinds of weather, and from the
smallest for the ring to the full size. We could
give numerous complimentary notices of our skill
in the art, but only solicit ladies and gentlemen to
visit our room, (over Morris' store on Pecan street,)
where they can examine numerous and elegant spe-
cimens that speak for themselves.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1854. ~
THE SATURDAY EfEKUTG P08T. _ -
Unrivaled Arre/y of Talent. -. - '-M
11HE proprietors of the Post, in again coming
before the public, would return thanks for the-
generous patronage which has placed them far in
advance of every other literary weekly in America.
Aud, as the only suitable return for such free and
hearty support, their arrangements for 185,4 hav«
been made with a degree of liberality probably un-
equaled in the history of American newspaper lite-
rature. They have engaged as contributors for the
ensuing year the following brilliant arrav of talent
and genius:—Mrs. SOCTHWORTII, EMERSON
BENNETT. Mrs. DENISON, GRACE GREENWOOD
and FANNY FERN. In the first paper of January
next, we design commencing an original novelet,
written expressly for our columns, entitled u7b«
Bride op the Wilderness,'' by Emerson Bennett,
author of ''Viola," "Clara Moreiand," "The Forged
Will," etc. This novelet, by the popular author of
"Clara Moreiand," we design foUowing by another
called "The Step-Mother," by Mrs. Mary A. Deni-
son, author of "Home Pictures," "Gertrude Rns-
sell," etc. We have also the promise of a number
of Sketches by Grace Greenwood, whose brilliant and
versatile pen will be almost exclusively employed
upon the Post and her own "Little Pilgrim." Mrs.
Southworth—whose fascinating works are now be-
ing rapidly republished in England—also will main-
tain lier old and pleasant connection with the Post.
The next story from her gifted pen will be entitled,
"Miriam, the Avenger: or. the Fatal Vow," by
Emma D. E. N. Southworth, author of "The Curse
of Clifton," "The Lost Heiress." "The Deserted
Wife," etc. And last—not least—we are author-
ized to announce a series of articles from one who
has rapidly risen very high in popnlarfovor- They
will be entitled a New Series of Sketches, by Fanny
Fern, author of "Fern Leaves," etc. We expect to
be able to commence the Sketches by Fanny Fern
—as well as the series by Grace Greenwood—in
the early numbers >of the coming year. Engrav-
ings, Foreign Correspondence, Agricultural Arti-
cles, the News. Congressional Reports, the Karketa,
etc., also shall be regularly given.
Cheap Postage.—'The postage M the Roat to
any part of the United States; «U«i paid'quarter-
ly in advance, is only 26 cents a year.
