Tillage. ,
Tillage is a good thing. Manure is a ,
good thing. But tillage and manure
together are far better than eitheralone.
So I said to myself one day as I walked '
across my corn field. This spring I i
spread a little well-rotted manure on ,
the poorer parts of the field and plowed
it in. I have cultivated the corn very 3
thoroughly?almost excessively. The 1
land was far from clean, and i was de- i
termined that not a weed should grow ,
that I could reach with a cultivator.
We harrowed the field four times with .
a Thomas harrow after the corn was ]
planted, and before it was large enough 1
to cultivate. This is pretty good tillage, j
and the corn on the whole looks quite
well for this season ; but wherever the
manure was applied the effect is very *
decided. I do not think I ever saw so <
little manure do so much good. We j
did not put on over five tons to the ,
acre. True, it was good manure, made j
from sheep, cows, and pigs fed largely ^
on bran, and was pretty well rotted ; j
but still I think the good tillage has
helped the manure. I am sure the ma- \
nure has helped the good tillage. i
What we want is good manure and {
good tillage. And when I so strenu- <
ously and so frequently urge farmers to i
cultivate the soil more thoroughly, I
have precisely this result in my mind.
I never dreamed of depending ultimately
on tillage alone. I use it merely as
a" stepping-stone to something better.
If I have given any other impression it
must be because I do not write and talk
plainly and definitely. But it is also
just possible that some people are careless
readers and uncandid critics.
Chicken Cholera.
The symptoms of this disease, which
has during the past few years become
Suite prevalent in our poultry yards
uring the hot months, are by no means
unilorm, and in several instances do not
present a clear choleraic character. It
is, therefore, of importance for the
breeder to thoroughly understand the
symptoms, so that if his fowls be attacked,
he will be able to apply the
proper remedv. During the last few
years, in the United State3, whole yards
have been devastated by this disease,
and we see several complaints in poultry
journals of similar occurrences this
year. When attacked by cholera the
bird is seized with a sudden and violent
thirst, accession of thirst accompanied
with diarrhoea; at first the droppings
are of a greenish character, and by de
grees oecome mm nna wnuisn, mucn t
resembling similar discharges in the ha- s
man subject. Great weakness also p
manifests itself, and in some .cases t
cramps supervene. The disease runs a
its course rapidly, death resulting in f
most cases in from twelve to thirty-six r
hours; if not, therefore, taken imme- i
diately, the treatment is generally too t
late. If the following recipe be administered
at an early stage of the g
disease, every three hours, a large per- c
centage of those affected may be cured: a
Rhubarb, five grains ; cayenne pepper, a
two grains, and laudanum, ten drops.? L

How to Treat Run-Down Horse*.
When horses become worn out and e
run down by hard work, sometimes v
liberal feeding alone will not bring f
them up again to tlreir proper state of d
health. A writer in the Agriculturist v
says his animals were in that condition r
of lassitude and weakness, and he t
corrnrl a Karral in fnrA and nlonod flin
DH"VU W tSMA&VA 111 v " v uuu j/invuu vuv
ends upon the platform of the pump,
to be used in watering the horses. Into
one of them he put a pailful of corn
meal and mixed it with the water. The ^
horses at first did not like it, and would
only drink a little when very thirsty. e
After they had drank what they would i<
they were allowed pure water. In a few f,
days, however, they drank this corn
meal soup with a relish, and in less *
than a week there was a decided change 0
for the better in the appearance of all i'
the horses. He did not let them eat f,
the meal, but merely let them drink the
milky water. There is no doubt but
it is as good for them as a plate of 8
good soup is for a tired and hungry ?
man before dinner. It seems to stimu- 11
late the appetite and aid digestion. P
Houaehold Hints. d
Crusts and pieces of bread should be ^
kept iu an earthen pot or pan, closely 0
covered, in a dry, cool place. ' t
Keep fresh lard and suet in tin vss
BCls. i
Keep salt pork fat in glazed earthen 8
ware. h
Keep yeast in wooden or earthen d
ware. f
Keep preserves and jellies in glass, 0
china, or stone ware. 1
Keep salt in a dry place. c
Keep meal in a cool, dry place. 0
Keep ice in the cellar, or refrigerator, P
wrapped in flannel. v
Keep vinegar in wood or glass. 14
Housekeepers in the country must be 8
careful that their meats are well Baited, v
and kept under brine. b
Sugar is an admirable ingredient in ^
curing meat and fish. o
Saltpetre dries up meat?it is best to 1!
use it sparingly. C
c
Cutting Corn. [,
I commence cutting up the corn as P
soon as it is too hard for roasting ears, 11
making the shocks contain 12 hills
square. When first commencing cutting,
cut about one-half the shock, tie
it, and let it cure a few days before cutting
the other half of the shock. See
that the stalk is well set up, a little y
bracing, and well tied, to keep it from t
falling down. I have continued cutting 0
up uutil November, but think the
earliest cut best, and have always ob- c
served that when cut just at the right ?
time, when you go to use it the shock
opens out, nicely cured, and the blades ?
a bright green color, looking good ?
enough to eat. ^
After Them. e
?
. John N. Beadle, a correspondent of c
the Btica Observer, sends that paper an \
account of an adventure in the North s
Woods, recently, which reads like the I
stories of a century ago. In company j.
with a friend, Mr. Beadle went on a t
fishing excursion, and the pair were i
enjoying their sport finely, when an
angry growl a short distance off disclosed
the presence of a bear with evi- t
dent hostile intentions. The two took i
to separate trees without unnecessary
delay, Bruin following Mr. Beadle so
closely' that he had barely time to '
scramble out of his reach. After a 1
thorough reconnoissance of the ground,
the bear leisurely proceeded to secure 1
his game by gnawing the tree down, J
but became disheartened with his job, f
and about midnight stalked surlily off. 1
The men were treed from four in the f
afternoon till daylight next morning, <
not daring to venture down after the i
bear left until it was light enough to <
enable them to escape if tl^e hungry i
brute should reappear. ' '
Baby Farming.
Baby farming has long been a recognized
business in the Old World, and
although a plant of foreign growth, has
;aken root here and flourished amazingly.
Civilized society Bhudders at the
utterance of the doctrine that some
neanB should be taken to check the toe
rapid increase of population, but in
private makes use of all the appliances
vhich have been invented to accomplish
this object.
In England the custom of baby faming
is an old one. The ordinary means
for preventing the infant from coming
nto the world having failed, the next
juestion is, how to get it out of it in
;he best and speediest manner. Be;ent
examinations by several benevolent
gentlemen in the City of London have
leveloped the fact that thousands ol
nfants are annually put out to nurse
vith the understanding that the mother
.s no longer to be troubled with them.
In some cases the same party will
:ake twenty or thirty infants at once,
is the nurse is paid a fixed sum for her
jervices, which is neither increased nor
lecreased by the length of the time for
srhich her services continue, it is, of
:ourse, to her interest to make that
lime as short as possible.
The developments brought about by
ihese investigations would be incredblo
if they were not so well authentisated
both by all the well-known phianthropists
and the exposures made in
ecent cases in this city.
But. a few weeks since a nurse was
irought before the Court of Special
Sessions upon the charge of exposing a
:hild, which had been entrusted to her
:are, to the fierce rays of an August
tun and the chilling dews of night until
t died.
It was proved that the woman was in
he habit of taking children ostensibly
o nurse, but in reality to relieve their
nothers of a burden. Those of the
iliildren who survived the course of
reatment to which they were subjeced
were set adrift or given away to any
>erson who would take them.
Since that time an establishment caried
on on a far more extensive scale in
he upper portion of the city has been
irought to the notice of the police by
he neighbors, and the parties concerned
in it will undoubtedly be indicted
during the coming week. The
>arties living in the vicinity of this
?aby farming establishment being disurbed
by the uproar made by the
tarved and tortured children, and sus>ecting
what was going on, applied to
he police to have the matter examined,
.nd if possible put a Btop to it. It was
ound that more than twenty children,
anging from one week to six months
n age, were confined in the establishoent.
The nurses who had charge of them
tated at first that no more deaths occurred
among them than would occur
,mong the same number of children
.nywhere else. But an examination
nto the state o; affairs showed that
aany of the children were actually dyng
of starvation
TKa nri /lonooa nf ill.froafmAnt nn
very hand seems apparent. There
rere none of the ordinary appliances
er securing the comfort of the ohil[ren,
all of whom boro marks of illisage.
It is believed that the testiaony,
when these cases are brought to
ria1, will horrify the community.
The Yellow Fever.
The rumors which for some time have
een in circulation regarding the existnco
of yellow fever in the bouthwest,
t now appears, Lave been too well
aunded. It is now admitted that it
revails in certain portions of the city
f Memphis, and at least thirty persons
a that city have fallen victims to the
ital malady. At Shreveport, La., the
isease seems to have broken out with
reat violence. Most of the telegraphic
perators have been stricken down by
t. A panic has fallen upon the people,
and the liltlfl town is deserted.
?he Mayor of the town, in a telegraphic
lispatcH to Washington to Senator
Vest, says " The poor are nearly all
n our hands. No money in the city
reasury. All pecuniary aid will be
hankfully received. Fever increasing."
i later dispatch states that there are
ix hundred persons sick, and that one
mndred and forty-six unfortunates have
lied. The Budden change in the weather
rom heat to cold has increased the rate
f mortality. A more alarming state of
bings can hardly be conceived. We
all upon the public to come forward at
nee to the relief of these unfortunate
ieople. We do so with the full coniction
that the response will be prompt
nd equal to the occasion. With Chicao
and Boston fresh in our memories,
,-e cannot believe that Shreveport will
>o left one day without relief. From
lobile we learn that the Advisory Board
f Health has instructed the Mayor to
5sne a proclamation quarantining New
)rleans, so far as local travel is conerned.
This example should bo folawed
at once wherever there is any
ossibility of communicating with the
afected districts.
An Odd Pet.
A writer, in speaking of sailors' pets,
ells us of Jock, "a seal of tender
ears, who for many months retained
he affections of all hands, until washed
verboard in a gale of wind. This
reature's time on board was fully ocupied
in a round of duty, pleasure and
abor. His duty consisted in eating
even meals a day, and bathing in a
ub after each; his pleasure, to lie on
lis side on the quarter-deck and be
cratched and petted ; while his labor
existed in ceaselessly endeavoring to
nlarge a certain scupper-hole suffigintly
to permit his escape to his native
>cean. How indefatigably he used to
vork day after day and hour after hour,
icraping on the iron first with one flip>er,
then auother, then poking his nose
n to measure the result with his whiskired
face ! He kept the hole bright
ind clear, but did not sensibly enlarge
t, at least to human ken."
A Legend.?There is a legend thai
;wo Dutch lovers at Little Falls, N. Y.,
vho were prevented from marrying be
;ause their fathers wero enemies, tool
the dire resolution of leaping from th<
leights clasped in each other's arms,
This was long before the days of th<
Erie Canal, and the story goes that th<
nan was dashed to pieces, but that th(
girl escaped with simple fracture o!
aoth her arms, and that she recovered
ind married the husband of her father'i
jhoice, and was a happy wife ant
mother. She must occasionally hav<
ireamed of that leap, and it must hav<
spoiled her appetite each time for a fev
lays.
The Suspension of Jaj Cooke & Co.
"What * New York Paper hat to eay on PI
the Subject.
1 The city, says the New York Herald,
had a veritable sensation in the an- ar
1 nouncement of the suspension of the Cj
1 banking house of Jay Cooke k Com- of
pany. In the circular issued by the ur
firm it is stated that the suspension wl
was caused by advances having been Di
made to the Philadelphia house of the Ci
company and from a heavy drain on the re
deposits here. This, it Is said, was the
immediate cause. But what was the th
remote cause, should it be more than a fe
temporary suspension ? Temporary or br
1 ' i ii? i--u:i:i_
not, nowever, me prut/auim-jr m >uat
1 there are causes of a general character, wj
and dating back some time, affecting.all Li
; the establishments, branches and bnsi- co
, ness of the Cookes. The dispatch from oi
? Washington annonncing, immediately th
, after the suspension of the bank here, ca
, that the banking house of Henry D. pa
Cooke & Co. had closed doors and buspended
at noon, gives a serious aspect th
to the matter, and leads to the infer- w(
, ence that previous circumstances have br
been operating to produce the catas- jc
, trophe. eg
The pressure must have been great to
have caused such instant action of the th
First National Bank of Washington; 0I]
for, as the dispatch says, parties were th;
at the counter drawing out funds when de
the order was given to close the doors W
and people to leave the premises. Such wj
prompt action after the short run upon th;
the bank indicated that the firm was in th<
a bad condition. thi
The Treasury Department, if not dh
alarmed, has taken the precaution to to
prevent losses or discredit from its con- be
nection with the Cooke houses. The an
United States Treasurer has ordered bo
the payment of gold dra&s on Jay w?
Cooke, McCulloch & CPi?;JU{mdon, to be in
stopped. It is to be kfepeft the govern- he
ment is not in any way involved and tei
will not sustain any loss. We are'aware 0f
that the Cooke firm in this country and ne
Cooke & McCulloch, of London, have w
had the handling of vast amounts of
government money and securities.
They have, as the famous Syndicate, or
the most important part of it, had a 1
great deal to do with negotiating the M<
i xl 11 - J / /I
loans, as luey are eaueu, iur me iuuu' oi
ing of the new five per cents, of the na- ^
tional debt; have had a hand, also, it is
said, in the fifteen million five hundred m(
thousand Alabama claims' payment by foi
England, and liave been the financial ua
agents or medium of the Treasury De- ne
partment in other important tiansae- ,
tions. If, therefore, the government
should escape loss in this tremendous tei
crash it will be fortunate. That we
have yet to learn. Or if the London ^
house can stand the shock, that will be
as gratifying as surprising. It is but va
'air to say that the firm hero asserti hu
that the house of Jay Cooke, McCulloch in
<fc Co. in London is entirely separate jai
from the houses in this country, that it ke
is thoroughly solvent and that it has a gu
large cash Burplus on hand. ]_
More satisfactory than anything the ou
suspended banks may say is the authorizea
announcement, according to the 30,
Washington dispatches, of the Treasury
Department that the banking house of ^
Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Co., does nq? ^r?
owe the government a cent, but that, fQ]
on the contrary, it overpaid in the last j8
settlement. jC(
ATonrr mmnro am oflnnt. na to the t.i
amount of the liabilities of the Cooke ft,
banks, some stating them to be twenty m
millions, somo more, and others less. mi
It is known their transactions were on
a large scale, but how much they owe az
or will be ablo to pay is not yet ascer- ^
taied. Hopes are held out tc deposi- ??
tors and other creditors. Though one Wj
of their banks.may say it was conjpell- ^1
ed to suspend in consequenco of the jj.
demands of another upon it, there is no
doubt they were all mixed up in the same ^
difficulty, and that was principally the ^
embarrassmsnt caused by the Northern ft^
Pacific Railroad. This Northern Pacific (]j
Railroad was a stupendous speculation. m
The Cookes were either 6hort-sighted nc
in not seeing the doubtful character of
the enterprise, and tho burden they ar]
would have to bear, or they calculated
upon tempting the market and public rft
to take the load off their hands by ex- tjj
tensive advertising and tho prestige of jj,
their financial standing. As to the dis- gj,
turbances of the stock or money mar- ra
ket, or the alleged unusual drafts of aithe
depositors, having much to do with

' There has been no such crisis calcula- ^
ted to shake any great, substantial and WI
well managed bank. How far these or
suspensions will affect other banks, ^
stock-jobbing firms or the market, we m
have yet to see. The panic resulting m
from them, as on all such like occa- 0f
' sions, has prostrated some speculators tn
and firms. Richard Schell was ono of 80
- the victims, and the firm of Robinson w;
it Suydam was unable to meet its con- su
tracts at the Stock Exhange. There jj,
are rumers of others being embarrassed frt
and likely to succumb. Stocks tumbled sc
L down more or less according to their w;
1 supposed intrinRic'or speculative value, p?
' and Western Union run down more ca
than ten per cent. Gold, of course, felt W]
the shock, but fluctuated little more p(
' than one per cent, which rather indi>
cates no very great trouble is to be ap- cc
prehended. cc
A Corpse Exhumed to Kill a Slander, [jj
A Canadian gentleman named Cam- oj
eron ten years since returned home
from British Columbia, bringing with rj
him a coffin containing the dead bodies di
i of his wife and child, who had died w
during his absence. They were in- fo
terred near Cornwall, where Mr. Cam- of
; erou resides. Recently, while he was w
absent, some of his neighbors got up rc
' a story that the coffin supposed to con- w
tain the corpse of Mrs. Cameron inclosed A
' nothing but a piece of clay, that lady ei
having been in reality sold by her lius- 01
band to an Indian chief on the Pacific w
coast for a gold chain. Strange as it E
may seem, this monstrous tale found u:
' ready belief among the Kanucks, and
when Mr. Cameron came home he found
j t necessary to refute it. So he adver|
tised that on a certain day the grave
! would be opened, and the corpses ex- .
' posed to view. When the time came
several hundred people were present, tl
The bodies were exhumed and exhibited tc
to the gaping crowd. They were in ex- ]fl
^ cellent preservation, having been em,
balmed immediately after death, and c<
. the features of Mrs. Gameron were dis- 8
i tinctly recognized by those who knew a
her in life. This, of course, exploded h
3 the story of the sale, and gave peace of b
. mind to the gossips. tl

The Polaris Party Safe.
eked Up After a Voyage of Hearty Two
Monthi In Open BotU.
The Dundee whaling steamer Aretic
rived at Don dee, having on board
iptain Buddington and the remainder
the Polaris' crew. They were picked
> on the 20th of July last by the
taling ship Bavenscraig, also from
undee, twenty miles to the south of
ipe York, in boats constructed of the
mnant3 of the bulwarks of the Polaris.
In accordance with the directions of
e chief officer the Bavenscraig transrred
the crew to the Arctic, which
ought them to Dundee.
Captain Buddington and his party
ntered last year on the mainland, near
ttleton Island, on that part of the east
aat of Smith's Land between Cape
sen andFoulke Fjord. Bealizing that
e Polaris was not in a condition to
rry them any further south, she was
rtly broken up, and the boats in
lich they were found were made from
e material thus acquired. The boats
ire made ready and stored with the
oo/t and otlior nrnvisions. and earlv in
me Buddington gave the order to proed
south.
Buddington was well acquainted with
e movements of whale ships fishing
i the coast of Labrador, and knew
at it was customary for them to enavor
to reach Cape York, off the'
!st coast of Greenland, early in June,
lence they usually crossed over to
e opposite coast, and commenced
b catch on whaling grounds nearer
e Labrador coast. By hastening
rect to the rendezvousing ground
the south coast of Cape York
anticipated finding the whalers, by
y of whom ho was sure to be taken on
ard. It was a question, however,
lether he would arrive at Cape York
time to meet the whalers. In case
did not, he would probably have atnpted
to reach Upernavik. The fact
his meeting with the BavenBcraig
ar Cape York 6hows how well founded
ire his hopes.
The Gulf Stream.
On its emergence from the Gulf of
;xico, the Gulf Stream has a breadth
fourteen leagues; its depth is one
ousand feet; and the rapidity of its
>tion, which at the outset, is nearly
lr and a half miles per hour, gradUy
diminishes, though it preserves,
vertheless, a comparatively considerle
degree of speed throughout its exlded
course.
Its temperature, much higher than
at of the sea it traverses, does not
ry more than half a degree in every
ndred leagues. Thus it arrives even,
winter at a point beyond Newfoundid,
with the abundant reserves of
at absorbed by its waters under the
n of the tropics. Plunged alternatein
the bed of the current, and wiiht
its boundaries, ihe thermometer inmates
a difference of twelve, and even
onetimes of seventeen degrees.
If wo compare this temperature with
at of tho surrounding air, the conist
is still more striking. Beyond the
rtieth parallel, where the atmosphere
colder than the standard of melting
5, the Gulf Stream maintains an equae
temperature at more than twentye
degrees above this point. Its waters,
[e those of all seas very rich in saline
itters, are distinguished by their
pth of hue, and bv their gleaming
ure reflections, denning themselves
' clear and precise lines on the green
ground color " of tho ordinary oceaniters.
Up to tho fortieth parallel the
ue and emerald waves never mingle ;
is only on quitting this latitude that
e former overleap their boundaries,
lit their channel and spread afar over
e cold strata of the sea. Their march
tho same time slackens, and the ranting
action of their caloric on the atospliero
becomes more sensible. It
ttably mitigates the severe climates of
orthern Europe ; without it England
id a part of France would be doomed
winters as rigorous as thoso of Labdor.
It is owing to the Gulf Stream

nit of eternal ice and snow, instead of
aking to the very level of the sea,
aintains itself at a point fully 550 feet
love.
Another very extraordinary charactertic
of the great American current is
e projection which it forms above the
iters that inclose and compass it both
i the right and left without being able
penetrate it. This projection is estiated
at more than sixty-five centietres
(about two feet.) The surface
the current affects a concave curvare;
and presents on its medial line a
rt of ridge or crest, on each side of
Liich extend two inclined planes ; in
ich wise that every object floating on
s surface glides to right or left. This
ct has been established by several vesIs,
whoso keel, deeply immerged,
holly obeyed the action of tho princiil
current; while at their side light
inoes drifted cu travcra, carried toards
the borders in a direction permdicular
to that of the ship.
Tho Gulf Stream is balanced, or
impensated, by tho counter-current of
Id and but slightly salt water, which,
irough Davis' Strait, descends from
ie Arctic Frozen Ocean in a precisely
iposite direction. It is to the north

of the pole encounters the genial

the flrsfc deviation of the latter,
hile, at the same time, compelling the
irmer to split into two branches ; one
which plunges under the deep blue
aters and continues its southward
>ute, while the other bends to the
est, skirting the entire extent of the
merican coast, and penetrating into
rery bay, creek and inlet. This region
ves to it the severity of its climate,
hich is much colder than that of the
uropean and Asiatic countries situated
c.der the same parallels of latitude.
Punishing ThieTes.
The Parish of Vermillion, Louisiana,
as been for years infested with cattle
lieves. The people have been unable
> obtain redress by process of law, and
ist month they organized a vigilance
ammittee as a final resort. Notice was
iven to a largo number of the thieves
nd their confederates that they must
save the parish within a specified time;
ut instead of doing so they armed
aemselves and threatened to destory
ae town of Abbeville, whereupon the
igilance pressed them and they scatsred.
It is reported that three of the
ang wfcro hung. One of a party of the
liieves, who was endeavoring to escape,
ras arrested under a civil process at
trashear, and *was taken from the
teamer Minnie Avery at Jeaneretts by
squad of armed men and hung in
ront of Dr. Dungeon's residence, three
ailes above that town.
The Cholera In Europe.
The British Medical Journal, in its
usual weekly review of the progress of
Asiatic cholera in Europe, mentions
that the outbreak at Havre, France, has
proved very serious, " having been the
canse of a panic which extends to all
classes. Of twenty-one civilians treated
in hospital nine have succumbed soon
after admission with grave symptoms.
Of twelve soldjers attacked during the
week, five have died. In the fatal cases
the rapidity of the onset, the short duration
of the affection, and the violence
of the symptoms, have been remarked.
It was imported by ships arriving from
infected parts in Germany. Montivilliers
and Harflenr and the suburbs have
been equally affected by the epidemic,
bnt details are wanting. The disease
has also appeared in Rouen, where, ac?
i a*?i ? 1 ?
cording 10 a meaicm jourum, uu wc
25th of August there had been seventyfour
cases, with thirty-nine deaths, in
the two hospitals."
"In Hungary and Transylvania," says
the Swiss Times, " the cholera has
made fearful ravages. According to
official accounts, 60,000 people nave
died of it. Vienna is said to have
spent already 200,000 florins in improving
the drainage, but, notwithstanding,
1,188 persons were attacked from the
16th of July to the 21st of August, and
929 died. Accounts from Germany
state that on the 24th and 25th of August
197 persons were taken ill at Magdeburg,
of whom 117 died. In Munich, of 407
attacked np to the present, 154 died;
in Konigsberg, 146 died ont of 815. In
Stettin, 45 were taken ill and 36 died.
In many other towns there were numerous
victims."
Can it be Tbue !?Within the last
few months a considerable number of
persons have called upon Dr. Walker,
the proprietor of the popular medicine
known as Vinegar Bitters, and assured
him that, in their belief, his
preparation is an infallible antidote for

which have been furnished him forbid
him to doubt the accuracy of the statements.
This new claim of a great remedy
to the confidence of the publio will
give a vast and well-deserved impulse
to its popularity. Heretofore the Bitters
have been recognized as a pure
vegetable tonic and corrective, devoid
of alcohol, and thoroughly adapted to
the cure of stomach and bowel complaints,
nervous disorders, bilious affections,
muscular diseases, and, indeed,
a majority of the ailments within
the reach of medicine ; but if it will
also cure the craving for liquor and tobacco,
philosophers, statesmen and theologians
ought to unite their voices in
its praise. Can the good news be true ?
It is easy to test the question.?Com.
Ninety-six million bushels of wheat,

required by England this year from
abroad, in consequence of the failure
of the potato crop and the shortness of

Allen's Luno Balaam in curing the most deepseated
Pulmonary Consumption: I have witnessed
ita effects ou the toung and the old.and I can truly
say that It i? by far the best exucctorant remedy

tbe phlegm and matter to ra'se without irritating
those delicate organs (the Lungs), and without
producing constipation of the bowels. It also gives
strength to the system, stops the night-sweats,
and changes all the morbid secretloni to a healthy
state. Yours, rcspectiully,

A new way of catching cnrculioa is
promulgated. An Ohioan daring the
curculio season scattered dry corn meal
on the gronnd under his plum trees
each morning, and thus induced the
chickens to scratch the surface over
daily. Thus doing they discovered and
caught the curculios and saved the
plums from their punctures. Whether
ihe Tndian meal is scattered or not, the
making a chicken yard of a plum or3hard
is an excellent practice.
