Jf. spencer, Dental Slr-
• geon, from Shreveport, Irtuisiana,
tendering his services to 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 Dkktal Surgery, in
its various branches, for many years: and that dur-
ing this time he has practised in different parts or
the country, giving, wherever thus engaged, entire
satisfaction, and receiving, as evidences of ability
and success, high commendation and approval. 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 U«Ui, unlesi performed properly, are dear at
any price. Tl-'it no art cau entirely restore, and no
money sufficiently recompense the injury which is
frequently causcd'ty unskilful treatment of the
teeth. He would cill the attention of those who
are so unfortunate aA.to have carious teeth, to the
great object of his pride and exertion of endeavor-
ing to excel in the im/wr^nit art of saving them. Mil-
lions of teeth are now Annually lost which might
be saved, by timely and Uudicions treatment. La-
dies visited at their reiidcnces, if required. He
would farther remark, thfit he bos permanently set-
tled in Anstin. Office aad residence ontCongress

PIERCE, KELLY & PIERCE have associated
themselves together, ia the Daguerrean art,
in the city of Austin, and are prepared to execute
life-like likenesses, of the latest and most approved
styles. With long experience and close attention
to this most beautiful art, we feel eonfidcnt.in say-
ing, that our pietnres 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 11—This imitation of
"Miniature ou Ivory," is the most beautiful im-
provement In the art, and the most discerning eye
but seldom distinguishes this from the reality. Oar
instruments are the best, which enables us to take
pictures in all kinds of weather, and from the
smallest for the ring to the fall size. We could
give numerous complimentary notices of our skill
in the art, but only solicit ladies and gentlemen to
visit our room, (over Moms' store on Pecan street,)
where they can examine namcrous^and elegant spe-
cimens that speak for themselves.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1854.
the saturday efenhvg POST.
Unrivaled Array of Talent. *
rpHK proprietors of the Post, in again coming
I before the pubUc, would return thanks for the
generous patronage which has placed them far in
advance of every other literary weekly in America.
And, as the only suitable return for such free and
hearty support, their arrangements for 1^54 have
been made with a degree of liberality probably un-
equalled in the history of American newspaper lite-
rature. They have engaged as contributors for the
ensuing year the following brUliant array of talent
and genius:—Mrs. SOCTHWORTH, EMERSON
BENNETT, Mrs. DENIS0N, GRACE GREENWOOD
and FANNY FERN.' In the first paper of January
next, we design commencing^ .original novelet,
wptten expressly for our coluspis, entitled "The
Bride of the Wilderness," by Emerson Bennett,
author of "Viola," "Clara Moreiacd," "Tbe-Forged
Will," etc. This novelet; by the popular author of
"Clara Moreland," we design following by another
called "The Step-Mother," by Mrs. Mary A. Deni-
son, author of "Home Pictures,1' "Gertrude Rus-
sell," etc. We have also the profnise of a number
of Sketches by Grace Greenwood, whose brilliant and
versatile pen wiU be almost exclusively employed
upon the Post and her own "Little PtUfiim." Mrs.
Southworth—-whose fascinating works are now be-
ing rapidly republished in England—also wiU main-
tain her old and pleasant connection with the Post.
The next story froln her gifted pen wiU be entitled,
"Miriam, the Avexger : or, the Fatal Vow," hr
Emma D. E. N. Southworth, author of "The Curse
of CBftoa," "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 nopularfavor They
Witt be entitled a Jfew 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
{he early numbers of the coming year. Engrav-
ings, Foreign Correspondence, Agricultural Arti-
cles, the News, Congressional Reports, the Markets,
etc., also shall be regularly given.
