the Colonel with great composnre seized the
man by the nape ofthe neck and slack of his
breeches and pitched him about six feet into

WHEAT-LrME-We saw yesterday par,
eel of very superior red Wheat, weighing ia
pounds per bushel, which has been purchased
for city grinding, and which was raised under
circumstances showing what good management
may effect in the agricultural line. The wheat
in question was the product ofa field which a
short time since was part Of waste common
that had been uncultivated for many years, and
was deemed to be too poor and worn out to
yield anything. After enclosing it the present
owner put lime upou it in the proportion of
one hundred bushels to the acre, and subsequent
ly followed the lime with liberal application
of stable manure. Last Fall the field thus pre-
pared was sowed in wheat, and has Just return
ed crop of the very best quality, averaging
thirty bushels to the acre. The field thus res
tored and enriched will require but little addi.
tional outlay for years to come, and in the mean.
time will yield liberal annual return to the sa.
gacous owner.-Bdl. Amer.

PURIrY THE BLoon.-As the Blood in its
e-preserving course is subject to continual waste,
nature has provided for the supply of the exhaust
ing fountain, by the conversion of our food into
new blood, But whilst such ample means are pro.
vided for the manufacture of new blood. nature
has been no less solctous in proviling for the
pusion of ,ha, which is useless and decayed. This
important Office is performed by the bowels, and
when Nature (whO is always struggling to throw
off offending matleJ requires assistance in her be-
nevolent intention, Brandreth's Vegetable Univer-
sal Ills will be found singularly sdlpted to the
purpose, because they remove through the sto.
mach and bowels sil corrupt humors from the body
in an easy, safe and ehecual manner, producing no
effect but what will finally conduee to the perfect
publication of the Blood, and thereby cure the dis.
ease, (by whatever name il may be called,) and
give perfect health to the whole system.
