A Wisconsin man has recently pa*tented a machine for picking cranberries by horse power. The Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce are already alarmed about their capacity to Btore the 40,000,000 bushels of surplus grain they calculate upon seeking a market there. A special committee have had the matter under advisement. Mr. Dougherty, the keeper of a hotel in Greensboro/Ga., sold last year $114 worth of Bermuda grass hay, from a measured acre of land in the outskirts of the village. This year he has sold the first cutting for $50, and he thinks the seoond cutting will yield a larger amount. The latest prescription for the potato . bug is gas lime, sprinkled over the vines when they are wet with dew or rain. One who tried this cure in a gar-, den "where the leaves were almost covered," says the effect was wonderful, and the next day not a Doryphora was to be seen, " the last solitary straggler having quietly stole away." The flesh of the best goat in the world is inferior to that of sheep as mutton, and goats are subject to diseases of as troublesome a character as those peculiar to sheep. A sheep can be raised as easily as a goat, and wool is a vast staple for which there is a world-wide market. Sheep are more docile than goats, and more manageable. F. G. McCauley, West Salem, Ohio, writes to The Western Rural: I Baw a beetle attack a Colorado slug and kill it. The beetle was of the genus Coleoptera, 6heath wings, steel blue; thorax diamond shapo and flesh oolor ; head flesh color ; six-legged, antepnse about onethird the length of the body; nimble in action; it was not as large as the slug, but much stronger ; it killed the slug for its juices. A New England Farmer correspondent tells the boys that the way to get a woodchuck out of a stone wall without tearing it down is to take a piece of wire about three feet long, place both ends in one hand, and put the curve at the creature's nose.

When a horse coughs as soon as he commences to eat his hay or grain, it may be taken to be a case of inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which, if not corrected, will soon result in difficulty of breathing, known as heaves. Feeding dustv or moldy hay has frequently caused bronchitis, or a chronic cough which has ended in a case of heaves impossible of cure, and only relieveu by a total change of feeding. It has hitherto been the custom in Franco to use in the harvest field for sheaves bands prepared from rye straw, and sold at 50 francs per 1,000. But these rarely served beyond a single season, and suffered also from the attacks of rats and mice. The plan at present coming into favor is to use bands made of tarred cord, with a light wire hook at one end and a series of knots at the other t6 bite into it. These sell at the rate of 50 to 80 francs per 1,000, hold good for four years, and, after binding the sheaves, are used to bundle the straw when threshed. A binder, it is said, executes three times more work by having the bands prepared. The hook end is kept under the left foot when the sheaf is to be tied, the binder, by means of a hand crook in light iron, draws the knotted end under the band itself and home to the hook. The Cotintv Fair. It seems to us that no farmer of any intelligence can afford to ignore his county fair. It is proper to say this here and now, since the fall fairs are Boon to open. When wc say " ignore," we do not menn that it is enough that the farmer shall attend the fair as evidence of recognition. He should show something thereat. Why? Because, theoretically, at least, the county exhibition is an index of the county's agri cultural condition, of the enterprise of its fanners, of their skill and care ascultivators, of the character of their live stock, of the elements of wealth, natural and acquired, with which they operate. The stimulus of local pride alone ought to be sufficient to load the tables with field, orchard, garden, dairy, and household products. Local pride is a good thing. It should be cultivated. Its demonstrations are always good investments, since the reputation of a locality depends in a large degree thereupon. County and township fairs are excellent places whereat to make such demonstrations. The stranger looks upon the fair as a means of forming judgment; but he ofien errs, because it is too often the fact that the best farms and farmers are in 110 sense represented at the local fairs. They lay back and growl and grumble because the fair management is in bad hands, or is not managed " on the square," or because fairs arc "played out." Unfortunately, fairs are playing out because the best men hold themselves aloof from them. Freih Mutter In Winter. As a general thing, butter is scarce during the winter season, and fresh butter bears a high price. By taking proper measures, which include having . the cows to come in from October to January ; a warm, comfortable stable, a frost-proof dairy, clover hay cut iu blossom and well saved, a supply of arrets, perfect cleanliness in the stable, and a plentiful supply of water free from ice or snow, with daily drinks of bran or oatmeal slop slightly warmed, the dairy may be made as prolific and far more profitable than in the summer. The butter will be yellow, hard, and will keep fresh longer, and from its scarcity at that season, would bring a very high price. Fruit. Pears, when left to ripen upon the tree, are soft, but often destitute of fine flavor. It is recommended to gather them several dayB before they are to be eaten, and place them in * the dark, taking care that they do not touch each other. Many persons put them between layers of dry flannel in a warm room. When they have become mellow and brightly colored they are delicious. Peaches are different; they are best when eaten ripe from the tree. Grapes are usually served upon the table as a dinner dessert, but perhaps they are really relished most when eaten as a first course at breakfast; their cooling juice is then peculiarly grateful. Melons also are best at the morning meal. Plenty of good, ripe, fresh fruit is the most wholesome and agreeable food for the lummer season. There were four lives lost by the Belle Vernon disaster. A Spirited Girl. A St. Paul P*ptf Tell? the Story. Some days ago a respectable matron tl of St. Paul, Minn., who advertised in a f( paper of that city for a girl to do gen- "a eral housework, was aghast at finding ^ in the first applicant for employment a ^ fine-looking young woman, not only c, dressed in the latest fashions, but also ^ having the manners of the best society, h Anticipating at least a demand for the * use of piano and sewing-machine) nbfc & to speak of hot and cold water and sta- P tionary washdUbs, from a handmaiden tl of this superlative description, the dis- h comfited old lady was beginning an tl agitated rejection of her visitor, when, tl to her increased embarrassment, the b latter suddenly burst into tears jmd b fairly begged to be employed. She ? asked it only for a feW days, she said, tl until she Could write to her friends, and e: then poured her whole story into the tl ears of the astonished matron. Her h home was near St. Louis, where recent d parental infirmities made it neeCs&ary g for her to contribute something to the b maintenance of the family; and, having n seen in a St. Louis journal an adver- ? tisement for a governess, which some b unknown friend sent marked to her, she n had answered the same with an applies- 11 tion. To her delight she was at once h accepted by the gentleman advertising, d who wrote, however, that it would be 8< necessary for her to go up the river to h St. Paul, where his family were spend- ^ ing the summer, and directed her to tl take the steamboat from St. Louis on a tl certain day, that he might meet her thereon further up the country, where b he was tarrying on businessi tn the 11 flush and expectancy of her first effort 8; away from home she had taken no ac- ^ count of the peculiarity of this pre- ? liminary arrangement, but gone upon b 11... 1 A A A IT liic uuivL un turn.

Noting her dismay when he intro- y duced himself as her late advertising ? correspondent, he reminded her that j> any sensational demonstration on her part would only make her a subject of d scandal to the other passengers, and J5 volunteered to refrain from addressing " her again until St. Paul was reached. At the latter place, when, in her help- " less bewilderment, she followed some r< of her fellow-voyagers to the nearest e: hotel, she was politely but firmly in- J* formed by her daring abductor that if she did not now listen to his often-re- w peated suit and consent to an immediate n marriage with him her situation was ? such that she must be gravely compro- * mised for life. By this time, however, ff she had recovered her self-possession ; 7 and, fiercely indignant at the plot prac- J1 tised upon her, she so spurned and up braided the dotard that he left her pres- j* ence in a towering passion. Then, see- " ing in the newspaper the advertisement P for a servant-girl, she hastily decided to make that a medium of appeal for help t( to some motneriy soul, wno migut be e willing to grant her shelter and protection until she could write to her family. Upon hearing her story, thus related, the matron readily granted the harbor . and guardianship asked. Inquiry on 1 the St. Louis boat and at the hotel re- f suited in the substantiation of essential h points of the narrative, and in a few j days there came a brother frem St. Louis, to rescue his sister from her 0 painful situation and vow condign fu- e ture vengeance upon her fugitive perse- v cutor. * Alcohol Is Foods e Liquor fattens ; whiskey is a good j; tonic; bitters aid digestion.

I ? Death of Mr. Sothern's Victim. 6 Actor Sothern's car difficulty in Cali- * foruiu, says a local paper of recent j date, has unfortunately ended fatally. , James Lawson is dead. Sad as the i whole affair is, no one can possibly \ blame Sotheru. He was suddenly and savagely struck, while quietly expostu- ( lating with Lawson, a man over six feet * two inches high, and almost double his weight. Even then, according to the ^ conductor's evidence, although bleeding profusely from the mouth aud nose, he ! kept his temper, but remained as firm ' as ever in his determination to have his 1 j nrivnte ear to himself. A second time . he requested Lawson .to leave, and a second time did Lawson make a rush at him while his back was turned, as he urged the conductor to keep passive. The second cowardly attack did at last rouse him, and, turning around rapidly, Sothern gave him two or three stinging blows, then closed with him, and tinallv administered a rapid " cross buttock/' intending to throw him on the platform, but the man's struggles called for more force, and he was thrown over the chain at the end of the car. A compound fracture of the right leg and internal injury were the result. Mr. Sothern's departure is unavoidably postponed, but no one can doubt the verdict of the , coroner's jury. ^ 1 Ten currency mills make a cent: but : fancy what ten gin-mills would mftfte I i % Powder in His Pocket.

He said he didn't ke it a bit, and she remarked that Miss trown was a stuck-up thing anyhow ; nd all this time that pipe was insiduusly burning its way through that aper. He agreed that Miss Brown as somewhat stuck-up, and said maye we'd strike it pretty soon, and then ou'd see who would wear plug hats, he told him she thought plug hats ?o ecomitig, and then he was going to tell er he adored her; that she was the arling of his soul, and that all his appiness was centered in her No. 7 oots.

A Hebrew's Opportune Wit. i Coming out of the Benedictine 1 luseum, says Maury, in a letter from 'ranee, pause a moment opposite the ouse No. 9 and admire the wit of a [ebrew who was very nearly hanged ver the doorway, in the year 1825, but scaped by his presence of mind. He raa a peddler, and had shrugged his houlders at the legend of the Precious Hood, just then in more repute than ver, for Charles X. had lately come to he throne, and the Jesuits ruled men's ouls and bodies. Tho good folk of ''ecamp took immediate measures for inching the Hebrew, there and then, rith the leather strap that girt his pack, nd the noose was already round his leek, when he roared to be allowed to lip his lips in holy water from the ource at No. 10 rue de l'Aumone. His equest was graciously acceded to, iwing to the remark of somebody presnt that the water would probably hoke him. But the infidel had no ooner drank than he tossed both arms .loft and vowed that he was cured of . chronic rheumatism that had afflicted dm for the last ten years. Tho miracle ras too good to be lost, so the Jew was eleased on promising to be christened he next day, and he disappeared myseriously the same night.

Gault, he wife of a well-to-do wine-shop ;eeper at Brest, giving way to bad tem>er. committed assault and battery tpon a female neighbor, for which she ras convicted and sentenced to a week's mprisonment.

I only wonder inder these circumstances that people vitli money sentenced to imprisonment lo not very often get substitutes. How- { ;ver, the idea appears to be a new one. M. Gault and his wife, the cabarcticrs )f Brest, were agreed that it would be lisagreeable for Madame to go to jail, ind foolish, moreover, since for a trivial mm another woman might be found : ,vho would be delighted to suffer vicari- , >usly.

A good story has been told of a lispng officer in the United States Army laving been victimized by a brother ifficer (who was noted for his cool delibsrations and strong nerves), and his jetting square with him in the followng manner. The cool joker, the capain.'was always quizzing the lisping ifficer, a lieutenant, for his nervottsiess... ""VHiy," said he, one day, in the iresence of his company, "nervousiess is all nonsense ; I tell vou, lieuenant, no brave man will be nerVlUS." " Well," inquired his lisping friend, ' how would yon do, thpose a shell with in inch futhee thould drop itthelf in a vailed angle, in which you had taken belter from a company of tharpthooerth, and where it was certain, if you >ut out your nothe, you'd get pepperid ?

The party broke up, and all retired except the patroL The next morning a lumber of soldiers Were assembled on Via naroila anrl folk in or in ftliiafArfl Then along came the lisping lieutenmt.

Saying this, he walked deliberately nto the Captain's quarters, where a Ire Was burning on the hearth, and jlaced in its hottest centre a powder janister, and instantly retreated. There vas but one mode of egress from the juarters, and that was upon the paradejround, the road being built up for defense; the occupant took one look at ;he canister, comprehended his situa;ion, and in a moment dashed at the loor, but it was fastened on the out>ide. "Charley,let me out if you love me!" ihouted the captain. "Thpit on the canither I" shouted le, in return. Not a moment was to be lost; he had it first snatched up a blanket to cover ^ess, but now, dropping it, he raised ;his window, and out he bounded, sans :ulottes, sans everything but a very ihort nnder-garment, and thus, with iair almost on end, he dashed upon a full parade-ground. The shout "which jailed him brought out the wholo barracks to see what was the matter, and ;he dignified captain pulled a sergeant in front of him to hide himself. "Why didn't you thpit on it?" in |UUOU tue ucuiciiuab. " Because there were no sharp-shootBrs in front to stop a retreat," answered the captain. "All I got to thay, then, ith," said the lieutenant, "that you might have thafely done it; for I'll thware there wathn't a thingle grain of powder in it!"

The three requisites for babies or plenty of sleep, plenty of food, plent of flannel. The saying that man is bundle of habits is as true of babies, o it is of grown children. If an infant i accustomed from its birth to sleep froi of nifrM until davlicht. th habit of early sleep will bo formed, an the mother may have all her evening to herself. If the baby sleeps all nigh a long morning nap will naturally con; about dinner time, after which the chih except when very young, should be kej awake until six o'clock. Perseveram in this routine will sood result in secu ing quiet evenings for both the chil and parent. Some mothers have a lor season every morning and every nigl in getting the baby asleep. They roc them and sing to them till Morphet enfolds them. With most children tL is entirely unnecessary. An infant ct be accustomed, by a few days' trainini to go to sleep itself for a morning nn as well as for the longer rest at night.Exchange. Twelve of the artilleymon who mul nied in Barcelona have been sentence I to death. Disinfectants. Herr Eckstein, of Vienna, strongly recommends chloride of lime as the cheapest ahd best of all disinfectants. His experiments with various substances used for this purpose show some curious results. Thus, two pounds of sulphate of iron, dissolved in water and poured into a saucer, at first liberated sulphuretted hydrogen, and after 12 hours no longer produced any effect; a solution of sulphate of copper behaved in the same manner ; two pounds of crystals of green vitriol retained its action for two days ; a mixture of sulphates of iron and copper and carbolic acid lasted two days ; sulphurous acid was suffocating, and ceased to act in one day ; and carbolic acid produced a worse odor in the house than the bad gasses that proceeded from the sewet. Destruction ix Disguise.?It is a fact that mixtures of bad liquors and acid astringents are often given for medicines. They are potent to destroy! and may be safely warranted to ruin, morally and physically, any human being that sticks to them long enough. More drunkards have been made by these villainous concoetions. labelled medicines, than by the liquors |of Commerce. Alcoholic poisons, advertised as remedies, are more mischievous than tavern drams. For intermittent and remittent fevers, as well as for all other diseases which these fiery frauds are falsely certified to relieve, Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, the ne plus ultra of vegetable medicines, is a positive cure.

Walker's California Yin| egar Bitters are a purely Vegetabk* i preparation, made chiefly from tbe no> tire herba found on the lower ranges of > she Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor uia, the medicinal properties of whick are extracted therefrom without the oso ' of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked. ''What is the cause of the i unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit- \ tersT" Our answer is, that they remove tko cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great i blood purifier and a life-giving principle. i a perfect Renovator and Invigorator . of the system. Never before in the , history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remorkablo ' qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentlo Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, % Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vinegar Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained tho sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral pAisod or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious. Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, which are so prevalent In the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially - ' AI*1a IfiooAiipi those ot toe Mississippi, vuw, mux*, ., = Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland,Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, e Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, RoJ anoke, James, and many others, with - their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so daring seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various or^ans, is essentially necessary. There A is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the dark- , - colored viscid matter with which the > bowels are loaded, at the same time 2 stimulating the socretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take bold Iof a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head, ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of tho Stomach, Bad Taste I in the Month, Bilious Attacks, Palpitatation of tho Heart, Inflammation of the ^ Lungs, Pain in tho region of the Kid!n ueys, and a hundred other painful symp? toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee n. of its merits than a lengthy advertise? ment. Scrofula, or King's Evil, White Swellings, Uleers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent * Inflammations, .Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc. t, In these, as in all other constitutional DisHI eases, Walker's Vjsboar Bittbrs have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory- and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit* and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of i the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Disease* ib are caused by Vitiated Blood. q ? Mechanical Diseases.? Persons en.. paged in Paints and Minerals, such as ?: Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and or Miners, as they advance in life, are subject * to paralysis of tho Bowels. To guard ? against this, take a dose of Waikbe's Vihboar Bitters occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Decolorations of the Skin, Humors 1 and Diseases of tho Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, i lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no asi thelminitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or singio, at the dawn of wo manhood, or tho turn of life, theaa Ionic Bitters display so decided an influenco that _T improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through ai. tho skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or ?ores, ?? cleans? it when you find it obstructed and im sluggish in the veins; cleanso it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep tar the blood pure, and the health of the system irl* will follow. _ It. If. McDOXALD <Si CO., at? Drugpiet* anilOen. Apt*..
