OUCH is often the case in regard to persons taking
y medicine. They induced by plausible rea-

medicines that so far from being adapted to their
disease or sickness, absolutely increase the symp-
toms. destroy the constitution, rack the whole
system, and bring on gradual decline, terminating
in death previous to the fatal termination, however,
(but unfortunately too late the truth is found out
that the pills. mixtures sc. they have been taking
were composed of the most powerful and dangerous
ingredients prepared too bypersons knowing nothing
Of disease or the nature Of the medicines they recon-
mend. depending altogether upon the general doc

Dr. Leidys Sarsaparilla is recommended by all

couts Of the prospect of the wheat crop in differ.
ent sections ofthe Union. The Prairie Farmer
published at Chicago, Illinois says:--'If there
be not larger wheat crop in the United States
this season, or in the west at any rate, than ever
before, we shall be disappointed. In our rambles
through Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, we have
seen and been informed that more wheat wa:
sown last fall than usual, that almost without ex
ception, so far as we have been able 10 learn j
has been uninjured by the weather. The earl,

BROOM CORN.

Broom Corn is much cultivated and with sue
cess, in some towns on the Connecticut river, in
Massachusetts. The amount produced on one
varies from 800 to 1000 pounds besides 60 or 7C
bushels of seed The brush is said to be worth
A or 5 cents per pound.--The seed on an acre
at SO cents per bushel is said TO be equal to {
crop of oats In Northampton and its vicinity
not less than 1900 acres are thus cultivated, wortl
for the brush and seed 100000. The seed usu
ally weighs 40 lbs per bushel. The manufac
ture of brooms in the small town of Handley
Mass, is estimated at 100000 annually. One
man made $4,000 brooms in a year. To lmi
ted extent, this culture ofthe broom corn and it
manufacture, might be yet more extensively en-
gagged in with advantage, The process of cult
vation is similar to that of maize or Indian corn
