The Household.
Green-corn Podding.?Allow one
long ear of sweet corn for each person.
Take half a pint of milk, one egg, a dessertspoonful
of white sugar, one of
sweet butter, and a teaspoonful of salt
to etery two ears. Beat the egg and
sugar together, and add the milk and
salt. Out the corn off the cobs with a
sharp knife, andchop the divided grains
with a chopping-knife, but not too fine;
or, better still split each row of grains
down the middle before cutting them off
the cobs. The corn must not be boiled
first. Stirr the chopped corn into the
milk, and bake in a brisk oven in custard-cups
or tin pan until the top is
nicely browned, but not hardened.
Serve hot, without sauce. This is a delicious
dish. Some persons prefer it
cold. Common corn may be used, if
young and tender, but requires as much
again sugar.
To Boil Green Corn.?Trim cff all
Vincho r?nf fKn oovc into V?ni1 innr i
uuoaoi .v
water, with* a tablespoonful of salt to a
dozen ears. If the fire is brisk, tender
corn will be dono in fifteen or twenty
minutes, otherwise in half am hour.
Lay a napkin on a large dish, and after
draining off the water from the corn,
lay it on, turning the corners of the
napkin over it to keep it Lot. Some
housekeepers prefer to steam the ears
of corn, or wrap them in a linen towel
while boiling.
Another Way.?Cut the corn off a
dozen ears, and put it into a quart of
cold water or milk. It should be left
oyer a moderate fire hals an hour. Just
before taking it off, add two tablespoonfuls
of butter, and salt and pepper
to taste.
Grken-cobn Pie.?Prepare as above,
and bake with a short under-crust?no
top-crust. If preferred, six iegga may
be used to eight long ears: but most
persons would like itbest>ith but four,
as then the taste of Vne corn predominates.
Cutting up lorn,
I have prepared the following in reply
to a correspondent who seeks information
as to the method of corn-cutting
at the North: Northern farmers usually
commeuce cutting the corn as soon as
the kernel has become glazed, using a
tool sold by all hardware men in localities
where corn is raised. Should there
be no such tool procurable, a good substitute
can be made by cutting oil 12
inches from the point of an old scythe,
and attaching this piece to a handle of
wood 18 inches long at ri^ht angles to i
it, or in the shape of a letter L. Now
commenco on the middle one of five i
rows, grasp all the stalks of the hill in
the left hand, and with the tool described
in the other hand cut them off
with one blow about six inohes above
the grouud. Cut the first two hills and ;
carry them to the third, setting them
up against it; then select a sucker stulk
aiul b?nd all together. Now cut the remainder
of the five rows until six hills
have been cut forward from the starting
point, or 30 hills in all, counting the
one around which the others are set up.
As fast as a hill or so is cnt place it
against the uncut one, taking care to
set around on all sides, so that the shock
shall stand firm. Select two good bunds
of two sucker stalks each, put one I
around midway np the shock, the other j
midway between this aud the top ; draw
these bauds tight, as the shock will
shrink considerably in size when cured.
.Then repeat until all the field is served
in ine name war. onocxs put up rn tnis 1
manner are allowed to remain until such
a time as best suits the convenience of
the owner. Some farmers husk in the
field, binding the Btalks into small bundles,
and these into a large 6hock, to be
drawn to the barn and moved away.
Others draw the corn in the shock on a
sled to the barn, and husk on the floor,
secure from wind or cold storms. Corn
generally remains in the field until the ,
stalks are cured before being husked,
or from four to eight weeks after cutting
up. ?J, S. Fowler, Livingston Co.,

Cucumber Salad.
We have just prepared our winter's
supply of cucumber salad, and this is ;
bow we made it: There were about a
dozen ripe white spine cucumbers lying ;
on their vines, and these we picked,
washed, pared, cut into strips, taking 1
oat the seeds, and then to each dozen :;
cucumbers?which we out up into pieces
like small dice?we put twelve large
white onions, chopped, six large green ;
peppers, also chopped, one quurter ,
pound each black and white mustard ,
seed, and a gill of celery seed. These
were all mixed together, a teacup of
coftree salt added, and tlicy were then ,
liung up in a cotton bag to drain for
twentv-four honrs. TIipi th? unhid
with enough cold vinegar added to cover i
it, was put into Btone jars and fastened ,
nearly air-tight. In six weeks it will be
fit for use. We found the recipe in an
old paper some years ago, and it has I
proved one of the nicest pickles we ever
used. It looks as well as it tastes, so ,
white and crisp, and it makes an elegant .
salad for a joint of cold meat.
Preserving Eggi*
A Parisian paper recommends the following
method for preserving eggs:
"Dissolve four ounces of bees-wux in
eight ounces of warm olive oil; in this <
dip the tip of the finger and anoint the
egg all around. The oil will immediately
be absorbed by the shell and the
pores filled up by the wax. If kept in
a cool place, the eggs, after two years,
will be as good as if fresh laid." A correspondent
of the Inverness Courier
says: "On the farm of Doclinrn, parish
of Detail, occupied by Mr. Peter Mackintosh,
there is a common barn-door
fowl which changes its color twice a
year. In the summer the plumage is
jet black, and in the winter it is pure
white. In 1871, the lien (which is a prol
_? \ j l al.
uuu wyvr ui uuuerweut iuu eauit*
change, of which uot much notice was
taken; but on observing last year, at
the same time, the color change from
black to white, it was considered as
something wonderful."
A Swindling Phinter.?A New Jersey
paper reports that a traveling printer
by the name of C. N. Bence, is now
engaged in victimizing the craft in a
rather novel style. He is accompauied
in his rambles by a woman who elaims
to be his wife, and states in piteous
tones that she was deserted by him in
Boston, and is now soliciting aid from
printers to enable her to reach her
friends iu Pittsburg. After obtaining al
she can from the sympathetic typos,
she quietly retires and meets Mr. Bence
around the comer, to whom she disgorges.
She exhibits a couple of working
cards belonging to said Bence?one
from the New Orleans Typographical
Union, and the other from the Vicks*
burg Union. The paper from which we
quote says that her appearance is cal- j
eulated to excite sympathy.
Took Befoge In a Log.
The romancer of the Detroit Press
talks as follows: "A Detroiter named
Andrew Steadman who buys cattle, deals
in hides, and occasionally makes a dollar
by buying and selling produce, went
on to Nankin Township a few days ago
to buy a span of heavy horses whioh
were wanted by a firm in the city. Upon
reaching the farmer's house he found
that the man was working with a neighbor
a mile away. To save the distance
he cut across lots, but was warned before
he started to look out for a savage
bovine which had the run of a ten-acre
field. Thinking how he was going to
get that span of horses for 850 less than
their value, Steadman kept plodding
through the field, which had a strip of
bushes two or three rods wide running
half way across it. There were a few
stumps and logs, one small tree, but
nothing which prevented any one from
crossing the strip. The Detroiter was
about ten rods from the bushes when he
heard 'a distant thunder sound,' and
looked around to see from which way
the shower was coming. About thirty
rods away he beheld the old bovine coming
for him, head down, back up, and
eyes blazing. Steadman was satisfied
he was the man who Was wanted, and he
went for the bushes. He thought the
bull Would stoD and run around tli?
strip, and was startled when the old fellow
dashed through them on his trail,
uttering a deep 'biom 1' every instant.
Steadman dodges this way and thut, but
the bovine tore along after him, smashing
bushes and leaping logs, and it was
getting to be a red-hot affair when the
man spied the open end of a large hollow
log. The bull was not over forty
feet behind, and into the log went
Steadman, finding an orifice about
twelve feet long, and large enough to be
roomy. ^The bovine had seen the movement,
and stopped at the log and ripped
off a bushel of bark at the first dash.
Then pnttingliis horns under it he guve
it a roll, and Steadman spun around
like a dried pea in a policeman's whistle.
The log was large, but old and
tender, and every time the bull hauled
back and jumped for it he covered himself
with glory and clouds of bark and
wood. Sometimes he whirled one end,
add then he gave the centre a heave,
and then ho knocked a foot off the other
end. Steadman swore, shrieked and
pleaded, his eyes full of bark and his
mouth stopped up, and every act of his
life passed before him like a vision.
'W-o-o-h!w-h-o-o-h!'bellowedtheboviue
as he slammed away at the log, and
every moment Steadman expected to
see the roof cave in on him. He was in
despair, when-he heard the barking of
dogs and the shouts of men, and after
a few minutes the farmers succeeded in
releasing him, but it took a good hour
to get the kinks out of his back and the
rotten wood from his ears and eyes.
Working-Women in Vienna.
A correspondent writes from Vienna
that nearly every women and girl, both
of the wages and middle classes, work
and earn their own living. " Passing
along the street," he observes. " it has
not been my lot yet to seo a lady or
gill leaning idlv from the windows, or
sitting within listlessly perusing some
novel or other, as we so often see in the
cities at home. On the contrary, they
are all busy at something from morning
until night. At every turn I find lady
clerks, store-women, cashiers, womeu
in restaurants, women every where,right
down to cleaning boots on the public
streets ; and they all work for very
little, yet seem blithe and cherry,comely
and content. Women who labor on
the buildings are generally of the
peasantry cluss.
They are dressed in costumes half
manly, half womanly, with colored
handkerchiefs tied over their heads as
covering; they get paid the same as
the Slomacks?the men laborers?from
ninety kreutzers (45 cents) up to one
florin and ten kreutzers (55 cents) for a
day of eleven hours, commencing work
at G a. m., taking one hour at noon for
dinnt r, then working on and quitting
at G p. M. They are allowed to staud
up during the working hours and take
a lunch and a drink, which they do,
taking the latter with as much gusto as
the fondest lover of lager beer. On
Sunday you should see them dressed,
bright red handkerchiefs on their heads,
tied under their chins, one end hanging
away down their backs ; faces as clean
as soap and water will make them ; clean,
,?;ir i?i -i??ii? J I
evil* nuutmu, uut Miuri uimuii ureoBCa,
worsted stockings, and strong brogans,
leaning upon the arm of some private
of the Austro-Huugarian army, or sitting
with their male comrades in some
one of the many beer gardens where
the people mostly congregate on Sundays
and holiduys."
An Unlucky Dream.
An Iowa raftsman had a bad fall from
a hotel window in Davenport the other
night, and afterward explained the accident
to his physician. He said that |
his name was John Fett, his residence
being Franklin, Lee county, where his
brotcer and mother reside. For fifteen '
years he has been a raft pilot on the
Sliss issippi. Tuesday evening he ar- 1
rived with a raft, and took rooms in !
the Mississippi House, where he had !
frequently stopped before. He took a
drink or two before going to bed, and
lay upon the couch with his clothes on. j
After midnight he had a terrible dream.
He said he thought he was guiding a
raft on the rapids in the midst of an j
awful storm, and at last the strings
were caught by a whirlwind and seattored
hither and thitlier in the air and
in the water. The crew were drowned.
He himself was hanging to a single log
which was rolling and pitching ou the [

his grasp. At last his hands and arras
became too tired to hold on longer, and
he let go. Down ho sank, in water one
hundred feet deep, but offering no
more resistance to his descent than air
would, and he struck the bottom with
a force which jarred him almost to j
pieces. Then he aweke ! He could not!
at first tell where he was, but his whole
frame seemed to be twisted and broker,
and he was in tortvre. He soon realised
his situation, and he knew that he had
fallen from the window. He cried for
help, but no one came to his relief, and
there he law until after daylight, when
a policeman arrived. Examination at
the hospital proved that the poor man i
was fatally injured. Four of his ribs
were broken, and his spine was fractured.
"Put down your umbrellas! You'll
scare the engine off the track!" screamed
the engineer on the Western North
Carolina road, to a crowd of country
people who had gathered to see the first
train of cars come in. They were all
lowered at once.
The Battle of Waterloo.
An Officer'* Account of It.
The following is Col. Ponsonby's interesting
account of his own sufferings,
after a rash and unlucky charge:
" I was stationed with my regiment
(about three hundred strong) at the extreme
left wing, and directed to act discretionally;
each of the armies was
drawn up on a gentle declivity, a small
valley lying between them.
"At one o'clock, observing, as I
thought, unsteadiness in a column of
French infantry, which was advancing
with an irregular fire, I resolved to
charge them. As we were descending
in a gallop, we received from our own
troops on the right a fire much more destructive
than the enemy's, they having
begun long before it could take effect,
and slackening as we drew nearer; when
we were within fifty paces of them, the
French turned, and much execution
was done among them, as wo were followed
by some Belgians who had remarked
our success. But we had no
sooner passed through them, than we
were attacked in our turn, before we
could form, by about three hundred
Polish lancers, who bad come down to
their relief; the French artillery pouring
in among us a heavv fire of grapeshot,
which, however, killed three of
their own to one of our men. In the
meleo I was disabled almost instantly
' ? r\( mo?ma on/1 fnllnwo/1 hr n
1 Li UV/IU Ui IliJ UA UlOj UUV4 tvuvnvu ??
few of my men, who were presently cut
down (no quarter being askedor given),
I was carried on by my horse, till, receiving
a blow on my head from a sabre,
I was thrown senseless on my face to
the ground. Recovering, I raised myself
a little to look round, when a lancer,
passing by, sprung at me and
struck his lance through my back; my
head dropped, the blood gushed into
my mouth, a difficulty of breathing
came on, and I thought all was over.
Not long afterwards a tirailleur came
up to plunder me, threatening to take
my life. I told him that lie mi^lit
search me, directing him to a small side
pocket, in which he found three dollars,
being all I bad ; he unloosened
my stock and tore open my waistcoat,
then leaving me in a very uneasy posture,
and was no sooner gone than
another came for the same purpose ;
but assuring him I had been plundered
already, he left me, when an officer,
bringing up some troops (to which,
probably, the trailleurs belonged), and
halting where I lay, stooped down and
addressed me, saying he feared I was
badly wounded. I replied that I was,
and expressed a wish te be removed to
the rear. He said it was aguinst the
order to remove even their own men,
but that if they gained the day, as they
would (for he uuderstood the Duke of
Wellington was killed, and that six of
our battalions had surrendered), every
attention in his power should be shown
mo. I complained of thirst, and he
held his brandy-bottle to my lips, directing
one of his men to lay me
straight on my side, and place a knapsack
under my head. He then passed
on into action, and I shall never knos
to whose generosity I was indebted, a?
1 conceive, for my life. Of what rank
he was I cannot say ; he wore a blue
JjlCttl-WUUK, JLJJ - UUU" UJ illiVkUCl til 4*1 Ilour
came and knelt and fired over me,
loading and firing many times, and conversing
with great gayety all the while,
at last he ran off, saying, 4 Vous serez
bien aise d'entendre que nous allons
nousretirer; bon jour, inonami.'
While the battle continued in that
part, several-of the wounded men and
dead bodies near me were hit with the
balls, which came very thick in that
place. Towards evening, when the
Prussians came, the continued rattling
of the cannon along theirs and the British
line growing louder and louder as
they drew near, was the finest thing I
ever lieurd. It was dusk when two
squadrons of Prussian cavalry, both of
them two deep, passed over me in full
trot, lifting mo from the ground, and
tumbling me about cruelly. The clatter
of their approach, and the apprehensions
it excited, may be easily conceived.
Had a gun come that way, it
would have done for me. The battle
was then nearly over, or removed a distance
; the cries and groans of the
wounded all around me became every
instant more and more audible, succeeding
to the shouts, imprecations,
nntorios of 'Vivo rPmnerenr !' the dis
charge of musketry and cannon ; now
and then intervals* of perfect silence,
which were worse than the noise. I
thought the night would never end.
Much about this time, I found a soldier
of the ltoyals lying across my legs,
who had probably crawled thither in
his agony; his weight, convulsive motions,
noises, and the air issuing through
a wound in his side, distressed me
greatly; the latter circumstance distressed
me the most of all, as the case
wus my own. It was not a durk night,
and the Prussians were wandering about
to plunder (and thescene in Ferdinand,
Count Fathom, came into my mind
though no women, I believe, were
there); several of them came and looked
at me, and passed on ; at length, one
stopped to examine me. I told him as
well as I could (for I could say but little
German) that I'was a British officer,
and had been plundered already ; he
did not desist, however, and pulled me
about roughly before he left lue. About
an hour before midnight I saw a soldier
in an English uniform coming toward
me ; he was, I suspect, 011 the same errand.
He came and looked in my face;
I spoke instantly, telling him who I
was, and assuring him of a reward if he
would remain by me. He said that he
belonged to the Fortieth llegiment, but
had missed it. He released me from the
dying man ; being unarmed, he took up
a sword from the ground, and stood
over me, pacing backward and forward.
At eight o'clock in the morning some
English were seen in the distance ; In
ran to them, and a messenger was sent
off to Hervey. A cart came for me. 1
was placed in it and carried to a farm'
house, about a mile and a half distant,
and I laid in the bed from which pool
Gordon fas I understood afterward) had
been just curried out. The jolting ol
the cart and the difficulty of breathing
were very painful. I had received sever
wounds; u surgeon slept in my room,
and I was saved by continual bleedings
one hundred and twenty ounces in tw<
days, besides the great loss of bloot
on the neld."'?Al( the Year Round.

A Profitable Exchange,
The following interesting adventure
in the life of & hero of a novel will be
found interesting: Going down St.
James street in London one evening
with a person who had treated him with
much civility, he is run violently against
by an accomplice of his companion,
knocked down and robbed of his money.
His "civil" friend leaves him in the
lurch, and seeks his lodgings, there being
no remedy for his loss.
To divert his mind, he repairs to the
theatre, and takes his stand among the
crowd which surrounds the entrance.
He observes that the people about him
seem watchful of each other; and
presently the cry of " Take care of your
Sockets I" renews his fears, and putting
is hand to his fob he misses his watch!
Looking eagerly around he fixed his
eye upon his quondam friend, who has
aided in robbing him. He goes on to
say :
"The blood mantled in my face. 'You
have stolen my watch,' said I. He
could not immediately escape, and
made no reply, but turned pale, looked
at me as if entreating silence and commiseration,
and put a watch into my
hand. I felt a momentary compassion,
and he piesently made his retreat.
His retiring did but increase the press
of the crowd, so that it was impossible
for me so much as to lift up my arm. I
therefore continued, as the safest way,
to hold the watch in my hand. Soon
afterward the door opened, and I hnr
ried it iuto my waistcoat pocket ; for I
was obliged to make the best use of all
my limbs, that I might not be thrown
down and trodden under foot. At
length, after very uncommon struggles,
I made my way to the money door,
paid aud entered the pit. After taking
breath and gazing around me. I sat
down and inquired of my neighbors
how soon the play would begin ? I
was told *n an hour. This new delay
occasioned me to put my hand in my
pocket and take ont my watch, which,
as I supposed, had been returned by
the thief. But, good Heavens! what
was my suprise, when, in lieu of my
own plain watch, in a green shagreen
case, the one I was now possessed of
was set round with diamonds ! And, instead
of ordinary steel and brass, its
appendages were a weighty gold chain
and seals ! My astonishment was great
beyond expression! I opened it to
examine the works, and found it Was
capped. I pressed upon the nut and it
immediately struck the hour. It was a
repeater !"
Think of that position, for an honest
man, with the detecting proof of his
evident guilt ringing in his pocket.
A Romantic Story,
The following story is told by the
Galveston (Texas) Commercial of a man
who was sent to the penitentiary of that
State a week or two ago : " He is a
German of noble birth. His uncles and
brothers ditincnished themselves in the
lato Franco-German war; they were
high in rank and live in princely pomp.
Yet this brother, perhaps of morals as
good as the best of his family, will for
two years live in the Texas Penitentiary.
This young man seems to have been the
favorite of his mother, but the hated of
his father. He was sent to the first
schools of Germany, and is proficient in
ancient and modern languages?but he
was allowed to spend money at random,
being taught nothing that is useful.
When of age, he was given a few thousands
and sent to this country. Here we
may premise that while the young man
is neither crazed nor a fool, he does lack
that which is called gumption. He
married a woman who after a season deserted
him. From the time of his desertion
he became a wanderer. Being
sick he returned to Germany and was
sent by his family to the most celebrated
springs in Germany, and when he
was fully restored they returned him to
this country with sufficient to have established
him in a small business, but
he wasted all?and it is strange that he
did so, for he does not appear to be addicted
to any of the money-eating vices.
Reduced to beggary, he walked from
Mobile to New York, hunting employment.
Then he got back to Galveston,.
Here he acted as scullion in a fourthrate
boarding house, waiting on the
table and cleaning knives. While engaged
in this work he stole two watches
worth $7, and on being charged with it,
he confessed the offense and begged tho
Recorder to send him to the Peniten'
xl_.il - -l.l 1 i ,1 onj
nary, mat lie migut icurn a mauc ?u?
be able to support hijnself. He told
the Recorder that if ho was not sent to
the Penitentiary, where he cot:ld leani
a trade, he would go out and commit
some crime that would send him there.
He was the most anxious man to get in
jail we ever saw. We hope that his residence
at Huutsville will he productive
of all the good he anticipates from it,
and that when he leaves it ho will be a
self-sujjporting, respectable citizen."
The First Steamships.
It was in 1838, says a writer in the
Chicago Tribune, that the Atlantic
Ocean was crossed for the first time by
vessels propelled exclusively by steam
power; and pretty much all the credit
we as a nation can claim at this day is
the honor connected with the fact that
the project was first conceived, and
! finally carried into successful operation,
by an American citizen. In 1831 we
find this gentleman (Junius Smith) in
London, engaged in the project of en1
deavoring to secure the navigation of
the Atlantic Ocean with steamships. At
first he met with not only opposition,
but even abuse and derision. In spite
of all, however, he succeeded, in 1830,
in establishing a company under the
title of the British and American Steam
Nnvi cation Company. This being
i done, a contract was at onco made for
building two steamships of large dimen1
sions, which, being completed, were in1
tended to be the finest specimens of
! marine architecture ever constructed.
1 During the delay in building these vesi
sels, in order to give assurance to the
> public mind, this company, in the
j spring of 1838, sent out the small steara'
er Sirius. This vessel made but one
trip, and was succeeded by their afterward
famous steamship, the Great
, Western. As soon as the company's
r first steamship, the British Queen, was
3 completed, she commenced her trips to
i New York. Then came her consort, the
- President, which, after crossing the
- ocean a few times, was lost, with all on
i board?no one knows bow or where?
3 on her return trip to Liverpool. Among
- her passengers was the famous comedian,
Powers, who delighted immense
audiences at the old Park Theatre, New
- York, forty jrcars ago. After the loss
jr of the President, tne British Queen
x made but few trips to New York, when
- she was purchased by the Belgian Government.
A Hard Case.
A lawyer was recently arraigned before
the Court of Queen's Bench1,
charged with mal-practice.
It was a very painful case. The attorney
was in partnership with his
brother, who, he found, had misappropriated
two sums of money?one of ?500
and another of ?1,000, belonging to a
client. The choice, when he ascertained
this unwelcome fact, lay between denouncing
his brother as a thief and
ruining the firm, on the one hand, and
incurring the responsibility of concealing
the truth from the client concerned,
on the other.
He concluded to conceal it, and paid
the client .the interest on the amount,
hoping one day to make the principal
good.
But the brother absconded; the de
falcation became known, and the unfortunate
and unhappy attorney was summoned
to answer before the court.
The court, in giving judgment, spoke
feelingly of the terrible nature of the
temptation to shield a brother under
which the fanlt had been committed, of
the suffering which the attorney had undergone,
and of the utter ruin which
had been brought upon him by his
brother's delinquencies. Still, for the
protection of suitors, a punishment
must be inflicted; and the sentence was
that tho attorn* y be suspended from
practice for nine months.
Another Step. ^
The Northern Pacific Railroad Company
lias with char&cteristio energy
taken another important step in the
prosecution of its great undertaking.
The camp-fires of tho Stanley Expedition
will hardly die out in Dakota, before
those of the construction corps will
be burning. The Company on the 15th
inst., advertises for contracts to grade
and bridge the line between the Missouri
River and the Yellowstone, a distance
of 205 miles, through the country
which tho expedition has just now
passed; or rather the located line is
some 30 miles north of the route pursued
by Stanley, avoiding the bad lands
through which lie passed, and traversing
a rolling prairie region, well watered
and covered with the rich buffalograss,

"ciders, you will ttiid it in that Favorite Home
Remedy
PERRY DAVIS" PAIN-KILLER.
It has been tested in every variety of climate, and
by almost every nation known to Americans. It is
the almost constant companion and inestimable
friend of the missionary and traveler, on sea and
land, and uo one shuuid travel oh our lakes or rivers
without it.
Its Msbits arb Ubscrpassbo.
If yon are suffering from INTERNAL PAIN,
Twenty to Thirty Drops in a Little Water will almost
instantly cure you. Ti.ert it nothing equal to

Dysentery, flux, Wind in the Bowels, Sour
Stomach, Dyspepsia, Sick Headache.

It gives Instant Relief from Aching Teeth.
In sections of the copntry where Fkvkb Alto
AnuK prevails, there is no remedy held in greater
esteem.
FOh Prvbb AJCD AODR.?Take three tablespoonuls
of the Pain-Killer in about half a plat of hot
water, well sweetened with molasses as the attack
is coming on. Bathing freely the chest, back, and
bowels with the Poisi-KHler at the same timo. Repeat
the dose in twenty minutes if the first does not
stop the chill. Should it produce vomitin-(and it
Ciobably will, if the stomach is Very foul), take a
ttle Pain-Killer in cold water sweetened with
sugar after each spasm. Perseverance in the above
treatment has cured many severe and obstinate
cases of this disease.

Destruction in Disguise.?It is a
fact that mixtures of'bad liquors and j
acid astringents are often given for L
medicines. They are potent to destroy !
and maybe safely wai ranted to ruin,
morally and physically, any human
being who sticks to them long enough.
More drunkards have been made by ^
these villainous concoctions, labelled
medicines, than by the liquors of com- p,
merce. Alcoholio poisons, advertised ,
as remedies, are more mischievous than 'j',
tavern drams. For intermittent and re- .Y
mitteut fevers, as well as for all other
diseases which these fiery frauds are ,
falsely certified to relieve, Dr. Walk- '
eb's Vinegar Bitters, the neplus ultra
of vegetable medicines, is a positive
cure. But this is not all; the great
Temperance Elixir is a sovereign spe- ..
cifio for the depraved appetite for \
stimulants, created by the false tonics
and bogus restoratives, of Missionaries >k
of Intemperance. Within the present 1
year many well-known citizens have !.
certified that a course of Vinegar Bitters
invariably obliberates the desire
for spirituous excitants.?Com. 'sjc

This question is respectfully submitted to the I
policy-holders of the Mutual Life Insurance |j
Company of Now York, hundreds of whom are S
doubtless readers of the Adcertiser. It is of 1
some material interest to them. In replv to the 1
card of Siieppahd Humans, lately printed in the J
Adcertiser, stating rather pnngently why Mr. h
Winston, then President, wished to get rid of r
him. a very costly advertisement is going |?
through the leading new-paper.- from one end
of the country to the other, and tho nearest it l|
comes to answering Humans' damning acctisa- H
tion against tho President?not against the I
company?is this: " Mr. Homons was removed n
from his position in this company for sufficient K
cause, by the uuauimons action of its board of K
trustees." (J
Fur anything that appears iu this volumin- E
ous and irrelevant advertisement, the thirtysix

The money is thrown away, even as a defence
