Hay,s Imminent.

Thousands Of other persons know of sim
liar cures. We appeal TO their sense Of JUS
tice-their human feelings.
1t is but duty you owe to your suffering
fellow-beings, to let this great remedy be
known. Speak oft then to az your friends.
This will save much pain where the news
papers are not read, or where readers are
incredulous, because so many worthless ar
ticles are advertised for the same purpose.
To buyers We say, if all who have used il
do not say it is beyond all praise, then do
not take it. The proprietor viii not allow
this article to be paid for unless it cures,
when all the directions are fully followed.
VIII any one suffering refuse non to try u
Jfhe does, he ought to bepitied more for
his ObstinGcy than his suffering.
Mr.. Hays would never consent to oflel
this article, were he not compelled bY bis
sense of moral-ofreligious duty to do all
in his power for the victims Of distress and
misery. For this purpose he would sooner
devote fortune, than secure a dollar fol
any worthless article.

MAPLE SUGAR.

II is now time to be prepared for the
sweet sport of making maple sugar in the
woods. The sap flows most freely while
lle,snow covers the ground and frosty
nights and sunny days give us the larges,
qsantity. 1t was the ancient practice to
chop large cash in the side of the tree with
acemmon axe, but this should never be
allowed where the tree is intended for stan.
dard. Anger hole one inch in diameter will
answer all purposes, and when the sap ceases
to flow, this should be stopped tight with a
pine plug.
Buckets are now used in many places to
catch the sap instead of the rude trouphs
,sSAich were wont to be cut and dug out with
a. common axe-but whether buckets or
!roughs are used, attention must DO paid 10
the kind of timber from which they are man
,,ufacturcd. The black cherry tree wood
hinges the sap black-basswood IS easily ex.
'Savated, but the sap is apt too looze through
the pores-whlte pine will answer much bet
'er, though pine is thought to give disagree
able taste to the sugar.-The white ash is
best when once made, though tho labor Of
excavating Is considerable la boiling down
the sap great caution must be used not to
reduce it too fast nor too slow--a steady
IRE is wanted. as we'll as constant attention.

Amistead, now pending in the Supreme

peroration Of his speech. 1t was in these
words:

but not the same Judges. At that time these
seats were filled by honored men, indeed. but
not the same. They are all chanoed.-

the means of knowing, fondly hope that

A COW WORTH HAVING.
The Syracuse Western State Journal

Ihc syracuse western State Journal
says:
Mr.. S'orrs Barrows, a little west of this
village, on the railroad, is the owner of one
OF the most valuable cows in this county, il
not the very best. She is a mixed breed
Durham and Leopard is now abou,
eight years old. Last summer she produced
over Fl lbs. Of butter in one week, besides
supplying the family with what milk was
needed. Mr.. B. brought us last week one
or two rolls of nearly equal size, Just made
which we found weighed 7 lbs. II oz.-beine
nearly 10 lbs. per week this winter. lie has
been offered $50 for her, and refused the
handsome sum. She is undoubtedly worth
taking all things into consideration, half a
dozen common cows
AS there is no such distinct breed as the
Leopard known, this COW undoubtedly
owes her milking properties to a for'unat,
cross of the Durham with some Of I'll, man,
varieties of our common stock. The cele.
brated Cream-pot breed of Col. Jacques had
q similar origin.
