FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. The Profit in Corn. A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune gives the following figures as the oost of a crop of corn. Corn being taken in the ^pi-airie region of the West at par for economical feeding, let ns see what one hundred acres cost, from an itemized account kept with one hundred acres in 1870 in central Illinois; and this again we tabulate for convenience to the reader : DEBTOB. 100 acres land, rent at ?5 ?500.00 Depreciation in implements, estimated 100.00 Reed corn 15.00 Plowing, forty-seven days, at ?3 141.00 Marking. A ve days, at ?3 15.0C Planting. tan days, at ?3 30.00 Boy. drop^i"g, teu days, at ?1 10.00 Rolling, eight days, at S3 24 00 Harrowing twelve days, at ?3... 36.00 Plowing three times, thirty-six days, at S3... 108.00 Hu?kiug and cribbing, fifty-three days, man and team, at S3 139.00 Hacking and cribbing, fifty-three days, extra man, at S1.50 79.50 Total days, 224; total cost SI,215 50 CREDIT. By 4,670 bushels corn, sold at crib at forty-two and one-half cents per bashel $1,985.75 Cash balance $770.25 Thus 224 days' work produced 100 acres of corn cribbed, or an expense?including rent of land, wear and tear of implements, and men and teams?of $1,215.50, produced ?1,985.75,leaving a net profit of $770.25 ; #r, again, we find that the cost of making an acre of corn to be withiu a fraction of oneand one-fifth days; or, cribbed, the crop oost less than two and one-quarter days' work per acre. The cash expense per acre is $12.15 : the produce is $19.86 per acre; the net profit per acre is $7.70. To this should be added the value of the stocks sold standing after the corn was husked, at $1 per acre, bringing the net profit to $8.70 per acre. We have heard good farmers say they could make and " lay by" a crop of oorn at one day's work for man and team per acre. In exceptional cases it may be done. Our experience is that it will oftener overrun than go below the figures we have given. Whether it takes a quarter of a day more or leas, it will vary the cash cost of the corn per bushel but slightly. Medical Hint.

To be eaten with cream. Sudden Knocks.?In cases of sudden jar, knock or jam of the hand or fingers, immediately after the blow press the injured part with the uninjured hand, say, between the thumb and forefinger, and gradually lessen the pressure. It will nearly always remove the pain, and generally any swelling that might occur under the circumstances. Warts.?The treatment of warts is to pare the hard and dry skin from their tops, and then touch them with the smallest drop of strong acetic acid, taking care that the acid does not run off the wart upon the neighboring skin, for if it does it will occasion inflammation and much pain. If this practioe be oontinued onoe or twice daily, with regularity, paring the surface ?f the wart occasionally, when it gets hard and dry, the wart may be soon effectually cured. A Cure for Catarrh.?A medical authority asserts that the severest catarrh cold can be removed in about ten hours by a mixture of carbolic acid, ten drops, tincture of iodine and chloroform, each 7.5 drops. A few drops of the mixture should be heated oyer a spirit lamp in a test tube, the month of which should be applied to the nostrils as volatilization is effected. The operation should be repeated in about twenty minutes, when, after the patient sneezes a number of times, troublesome symptoms rapidly disappear. What to Do ta Cue of Fire. Do not get confused ; admit no one to your house except firemen, policemen or in ighb >:8. If a lady's or child's dre3s takes fire, endeavor to roll the person np in a rug, carpet, or any piece of woolen stuff. Keep all doors and windows closed until the firemen arrive. If smoke enters the room and it is difficult to stand erect, get your mouth as close to the floor as possible and breathe easy, as there is always a fresh current of air near the floor. A wet cloth over the mouth will greatly aid breathiDg. Interesting Facts. The number of seeds of wheat in one pound is 10,500. The number of seeds in one pound of barley is 15,400.

Loss or Confu/Exce ?The Worcester (Maa.3.) Gazette quotes a bank president in that city as saying on hearing of the great bank robbery at Northampton: "I'm sick of this rascally world. Don't want to see or do business with anybody. I'd rather be an old farmer, living on a cross-road, four miles from the sight of everybody, with a barrel of cider and two hogs than to have anything to do with bank6. money, or meD." PURSUED TO DEATH. A Cold Blooded Crime nnd a Thrilling Retrlbutlon?Tlie Rlderle*? Home. In the year 1812 the western portions of Pennsylvania, embracing the mountainous regions between Chambersbnrg 1 and Pittsburgh, presented little more ! than an unbroken wilderness, through f which the great road from Philadelphia to tne neaa waters or tii3 unio vaney passed; and at that period it was a; lonely and daDgerous pathway to all | wayfarers between the Eastern cities and j the great Western wilderne&s of Ohio i and Kentucky. About midway of this road, and in a most dismal locality, was located an inn, [ kept by an honest, well-to-do German, | named Stottlers. The house was a small J one, but the accommodations were j amply sufficient for the travel that came 1 that way. In the spring of the year mentioned there came from the stock ! raising region arouud Pittsburgh a drover, who, with his flock of well fatten- j ed bullocks, was on his way to Philadelphia. He was *well armed and; mounted on a horse of spotless white-; ness. In conversation with the inmates | of Stottlers' iDn?the most of whom j were ordinary hunters?he stated with ! reserve the objects of his trip, and communicated the fact that on his return he ; i would stop at the tavern with the proceeds from the sale of his cattle in his possession. On the day following his arrival the stranger departed. About three weeks thereafter, or at the time he was expected to return, two Canadian Frenchmen, of villianous appearanoe and both heavily armed, arrived at Stottler's, and, after breakfasting, continued their journey eastward. In less than an hour they returned, accompanied by a third traveler, who was mounted on a white horse that closely resembled that ridden by the Pittsburgh drover. The third party, in the course of his conversation with the landlord, stated that his name was Pollock, that he lived near the residence of General Arthur St. Clair, in Westmoreland oounty, and that he was on his way to rejoin" his wife and children, from whom he had been separated for some weeks. He stated also that he was a farmer, but possessed of small means. The oontents of his purse were, however small they might be, at the dis- 1 posal, in equal shares, with destitute I travelers, such as those whose comDanv ' he was in, and whose expenses to Pitts'- i burgh he expected to pay. 1 After partaking of some refreshments < the three men then took the road westward. In leas than an hour John Stottler and his brother-in-law, John Lam bert, a blacksmith by trade and a thor- 1 ough frontiersman, were startled while 1 in conversation on the porch outside 1 the inn to see Pollock's riderless horse 1 approaching them at a gallop. As the 1 animal neared them they saw that he was bespattered with blood, and Lambert, j who had just been oommunieating his suspicions of the Frenchmen, insisted that the farmer had been murdered, and urged an immediate pursuit of his companions. The servants about the inn were at once mounted and sent out to scour the country for assistance, while Lambert and his less energetic relative busied : themselves in preparing their horses 1 and arms for the chase. By noonday about a dozen men, residing nearest the 1 ! inn, congregated at the general rendez- 1 j vous, and, with Lambert for a leader, | were soon in pursuit of the murderers. , I A n 1A11 vnnT? nf olv\nf Ann tyi iIa f lin I .HKV7i a J UUiUCJ V/4 MVVUV VUV AlAAAXS VUV j party came to the scene of the murder. Here they discovered the evidences of a terrible struggle. The snow which lay , upon the ground was much trampl'd ( and greatly discolored with blood, and , a few feet away from this scene lay the j corpse of the murdered man, wedged in ( between two logs, and covered with the rubbish of leaves and broken twigs. Two balls had passed through the body, and in. the breast were several gaping 1 wounds that had evidently been inflict- ] ed with a large hunting knife. One of ! the hands of the deceased was terribly 1 disfigured, as he had evidently grasped < the blade of the knife, which, being < drawn through his Angers, nearly cut i them in twain. His clothiug was badly i j torn, while his countenance indicated i I the intense agony of his dying mo* | ments. It appeared from the foot tracks in j . the snow leading to the west that the , j murderers had set their horses free or j j been compelled to part with them, and j | this seemed a wise precaution on theft: 1 j part, as the mountainous condition of 1 ! the country ahead of them rendered ' travel by foot, to those aocustomed to i such exertion, far more expeditious than i by horseback. Lambert and his com! panions knowing this to be the case, determined to follow their prey on foot, 1 j also. Accordingly the major part of the 1 party at once continued on the trail, ; , while three or four of the men removed 1 ] the body and the horses to Stottler's ' , inn. Shortly after night had fallen ( Lambert's associates became dissatisfled ' | with their errand, and in a body returned i ; to the inn. i The intrepid blacksmith, notwith- i standing this demoralizing defection, I continued the pursuit alone. After ( traveling in a northwestern direction , for twelve or fourteen miles he came to , an old and disused road, running nearly j' j parallel with the one he had left. This I. | was called the "Old Pennsylvania!: j Trace," between Philadelphia and Red ; 1 Stone Old Fort, situated on the waters j: i of the Monongahela river. It was the i first road ever opened between eastern 1 j Pennsylvania and the head waters of the 1 i Ohio river, and the ancient landmark, *' three chops and a blaze," were still i | visible by daylight on the old trees. , ! This ancient road and landmark were adopted by the old surveyors and open! ere of roads iu the West to propitiate i ; Heaven in favor of the first settlers of i the great Western wilderness, and hence the first chop was for the Father, the | j ! second for the Son and the third for the 1 j j Holy Ghost; and the blaze was merely j < ; designated to attract the eye of the ob- j ; server. j ( When Lambert struck this old road he ! discovered on the north 6ide of it a di-!' lapidated log cabin. Approaching the ! 1 cabin he noticed a light within, and, 1 feeling satisfied that the murderers were j ' close at hand, he gave a loud cough, j ! j This brought to the rear door of the 11 I house the old woman who occupied it, ; < aud who obtained a living by selling ; i j cakes and beer to passing wayfarers. j j j Lambert, in a feigned voice, asked to j t spend the night within, and was at once j j admitted. He had but crossed the ' j i threshold when the report of a musket: , was heard in the next room, and the ball i i splintered the woodwork of the door above his head. Without a moment's hesitation Lam ! i bert, with notliiDg but his tomahawk in ; hand, sprang into the next room and ] : struck down the man in whose hand was i the still smoking musket. The villain's I ! companion, the smaller man of the two, i at once fled the house; but before he had ? passed beyond the light of the fire ' within, the avenger, with the wretch's g own rifle, brought him to the earth in a t I struggle with death that lasted but a second. As soon ns he had fired the shot Lambeit turned upon the prostrate murderer, who was about to arise, aud ' struck him a second time, felling him to , the floor again. He then, with a rope furnished him by the old woman, bound ! the villain's hands and legs securely. In the morning the avenge'- borrowed a j horse from the woman, strapped upon its back the liviDg and dead murderers, j and before nightfall arrived at Stottier's j inn. On the following day the living man was publicly lynched in front of the inn, and the two bodies were then con-; signed to an unhonored grave. Lambert's companions, craven-hearted as they had proven themselves, were loud in praise of their daring leader, who, until the day of his death, was a hero in the humble circle of life in which he was placed. .

There Were iu London in theyear 1875, 190 cases of infauticido. The perpetrators of forty-five of theae were arteafced? The Goosebone and the Weather. The Louisville Commercial says: The goosebone predictions are perhaps in ore closely watched in Kentucky than anywhere else, and it may be called the Kentucky weather prophet. We must take the breast bone of a last spring's goose?none other will do, for the j prophecy does not extend beyond the year in which the goose is hatched. It mu9t be divided into three different parts, which represents the three divis- j ions of winter. The breastbone of a gooae is translucent, but at places has cloud-like blots upon it. These blots denote cold weather. Looking at the | bone before us, we find a little cold j weather about the first of December, I which we have realized, and there is an-1 other blot beyond the center of the hnnp dpnntinc cold weather about the middle of January ; this cloud we are passing now, and so far our little prog- j nosticator has guided us right. We are to have warmer weather after a few days but the worst is to come. The darkest blots are near the end of the bone, and I if the prophecy fails not, winter will, verify the saying of ooming in like a lamb and going out like a roaring lion Our coldest weather will come after the middle of February, and our warmest tires will bo required for the parting days of winter and the first days of spring. This is the goosebone prophecy, and as we have the word of a good old farmer that it has not failed for fifty years, we would advise the laying in of a good supply of ooal and general preparations to meet cold weather?for j the goosebone has said it, and old winter will be after young spring with a big icicle.

This large meas- : uro of success is tho result of a thorough and j careful preparation for his calling, and exteu- J sivo reading during a long and unusually large ! practice, which have enabled him to gain high ; commendation, even from his professional brethren. Devoting his attention to certain j specialties of the science he has so carefully j investigated, he has been rewarded in a re- : markable degree. In these specialties he has 1 ?:?J t i? \r~. ? < Vw, UWUUIO B it <JU?L114C7U icauci. 11W BIO rr \j a a-aav , remedies prescribed by him have, it is eaid, i be&n adopted and prescribed by physicians in I their private practice. His pamphlets and 1 larger works have been received as useful j contributions to medical knowledge. He has recently ad-led another, and perhaps more important wit because of more general applies- i tiou, to tho list of his published writings. This ' book, entitled " The People's Common Senso ! Medical Adviser,'' is designed to enter into ' general circulation. Dr. Pierce has received acknowledgments and honors from many j eom'ces, and especially scieutitic degiees from ' two of the first medical institutions in the t land.? Missouri (St. Louis) Republican.

Com. f SCHENCK'M PULMONIC MYRUP, MBA ' WEED TONIC and MANDRAKE PILLS. I These deservedly oelebrsted and popular medicines nave effected a revolution In the haallng art, and proved ' the fallacy of several maxims which have for many yean obstructed the progress ol medical scienoa. The false supposition that " Consumption is incurable " dote;red physicians from attempting to find remedies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it reoocdied themselves to death without making an effort to escape from a doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. It is now proved, however, thst Consumption ran b? enrtd, and that it Ka? been cured in a very great n amber of ; cases (some of them apparently desperate ones) by Scheuck's Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in other cases ' by the same medicine in connection with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, accordi to the requl-ementa of the case. Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted good health for more than forty years, was supposed, at one time, to be at the very gate of death, his physicians having pronounced his care hopeless, and aoandoued him j to his fate. He w?s enred by the aforesaid medicloea, and, since his recovery, many thousands similarly affeot- > ed bare used Dr. Schenck's preps: ations wltn the same remarkable success Fall directions accompany each, making it not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenok unless 1 Catlenia wish their lungs examined, and for this purpose e is professionally at his principal office, U^rner Sixth , and Arch Streets. Philadelphia, every Monday, when* | all letters for advice mast be addressed. Schenck's tucdJciuee are sold by all druggists. The Markets.
