der the authority OF Government in 1919,
and confidently assert that there is no
more reasonable doubt where this line
ought torun according TO the provisions OF
the treaty Of 1888, than there is where
Connecticut river actually rises. The
whole course of the British Government
relative to this line has exhibited a tissue
OF pettlogging chicsnery, totally unbe-

The idea OF working cows instead Of
oxen, will be news 10 many OF our readers,
even in the country--Dut the following
paragraph on this subject from the Wor-
cesier .Egis, good paper by the way, is
well deserving attention.
" The experiment of 'ploughing with the
heifer,' has not yet been fairly tried among
US. IL is believed that team of cows
properly managed, will do all the ordinary
work of a small larm and furnish as much
milk as il The animals were not worked
The Maine Farmer publishes the result of
an experiment in working cows, made by
Mr.. Hoyt Of Amesbury, Mass. many
years ago. He was a small farmer, cult
waiting only twenty-five acres, from which
he derived support for himself and family.
For breaking up and his other heavy oper-
atoms he usually obtained a stronger team
but performed the ordinary work on farm
with his two cows. He worked them
three hours early in the morning and three
more late in the afternoon, permitting
them TO rest during the interval, feeding
them generously all the while and milking
them three times a day. 1t was a COM
mon remark that they furnished more but
ter and cheese than any other two cows in
town. The experiment deserves q care
full trial.

Mr.. Joseph Hart, from being exposed to cold,
was attacked with a most painful Rheumatic COM

distressing violence for several months The
principal symptoms were-a swelling and excru-
ciang pain in all the joints, and an entire loss of

Uttered an increase in the evening. The pains

more severe in the night time. A constant diar-

his medical aitendan, could not possibly give the
least hopes ofhs recovery, and it was generally
believed By his relatives and friends that all the
medicines or treatment in this world could no, give
him any relief But seeing an advertisement Of
Hunts Botanic Pills, he was directed by an Al
mighty Province to use them; he did so, and al
ter fortnight they produced favorable change,

Distressing case ofsevere Spas
modic Asthma, perfectly cur
ed bu Hunts Botanic Pills.

Mr.. Henry White, was for the space of two yssrs
afflicted with severe Asthma, which proceeded
from wet and cold: all the worst symptoms OF the
complaint followed--a tightness across the chest,
with difficult and distressing breathing. During
the last year of his Illness the disease increased so
alarmnely as to prevent his following any business,
having lost his speech, and being threatened with
immediate sufocation, until copious expectoraton
would come on, which only gave him relief for a
few hours. The physicians who attended him, pro
nounced his complaint beyond the possibility OF
cure, but a, last Providence directed pamphlet to
be left at his house, after which he procured some
of DR. Hunts Botanic Pills, and after taking few
boxes he found himself entirely free from the
plant, being capable at this time of any exercise,
even of walking forty miles daily, and having all
tho enjoyments Of perfect health.

A MAN WITHOUT MoNEY.-A man with
out money is body without life, walking
shadow, spectre that affrights. His
look is doleful, his conversation is anguid
and heavy. If he wishes to pay q visit,
he never finds any body at home and If
he opens his mouth to speak, he is inter-
rupted every moment in order that he
may not finish sentence, lest he should
end by asking for money. He is
avoided as pestIence, and is considered
a useless clog upon the earth. If he has
wit he cannot display it, and If he has
none, he is looked upon as the most fright
iul biped that nature can create. When
in i'll humor, his enemies say he is fit for
nothing-and those best inclined towards
him, preface their eulogy by a shrug
Of the shoulders. Necessity awakes
him in the morning, and misery attends
him TO bed at night. The women find he
is unmannerly and vulgar, and regard him
with suspicion. Tavern keepers wish,
that, like the cameleon, he would live
upon air and tailors, that, like our first
parents, he would clothe himself with fig
leaves. If he wishes to argue, he is not
listened to; and il he sneezes, he is not
heard: if he wants any thing from a
tradesman, he is asked to pay before hand
and if he is in debt, he is considered a
rogue.-N. Y. Sun.

Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, EE

Mr.. VIM Tucker having lately been restored to
sound state Of health, through the efficacy of DIR.
Hunts's Botanic Pills, thinks it an indispensable
duty to state certain facts relative to the disease
under which he had so long suffered. The sym
toms were-a painful obstruction, with constant
rejection of food, headache, palpitation of the
heart, lowness of spirits, troublesome dry cough,
dizziness, tightness at the chest and difficulty Of
breathing. almost constant pain in the side, loins,
and shoulders, accompanied with much languor &
debility. These Affections, together with an I'M
usual degree of fatulence, brought on such state
Of extreme weakness, as to prevent him from at
tending to his business, and his health appeared
lost beyond recovery. His friends and relatives
became alarmed at the melancholy prospect, and
strongly recommended Hunts Botanic PiIls-they
were administered, and in few days produced
astonishing relief, and finally realized perfec. re-
storation to sound he alth
