HOAD'S patent graduated electro-galvanic appa-
" ratus, with patent insulated poles for medica |
and other purposes. .a#
The undersigned is prepared to apply the above
admirable, all-pervadng, pleasant safe. and potent
remedial agent, which has accomplished wonders,
where all other remedies have failed, in the whole
train of nervous and rheumatic complaints, (too
numerous to be here particularized) and in the
actual restoration Of sight, speech, and hearing,
where no destruction of the organ has taken place.
Most respectable proof from physicians and others
will be exhibited at his apartments, south side Penn
sylvania avenue, sixth house East of the market,
and nearly opposite Browns Hotel, where the
splendid first size or largest apparatus will be kept
in readiness at any hour, day or night that may be
appointed; and the second size for use abroad
when required. He has received due instructions
in their application from the inventor, for which he
was previously prepared by many years expert
ence in the use of electricity in another form.
As this is a subject to which justice cannot be
done in newspaper advertisement, communicq-
tion will shortly be made to the public in another
way, embracing opinions of eminent physicians OF
the apparatus, and selections from successfully
treated eases. .gtaa .Ea.4
The undersigned having twenty-five years ago
been in tn practice in certain cases, of aiding the
operation Of the electric fluid by relaxing the system
during its in the vapor bath, this salutary prac-
tice will be continued, the oatn invented by him
being peculiarly adapted to such service.

A Marriage Portion.

Allow me to introduce simple story; per-
haps not new, nevertheless interesting in its
results On the margin ola sunny lake v-
ed a farmer; his shaded cottage was an object
ofpleasure to the mariner of our inland sea,
and the traveller could not refrain his COM
mendation as he passed the well-tlled fields,
rendered more attractive by the pervading
spirit ofneatness and order A wife and
two daughters shared the labors and pleas
lIres of the farmer, One hundred acres
We're the extent ofthe farm, and the farmers
capital was little more than honesty, industry
and health. Ineed not paint the family cir
che IN its devotion to sacred duties nor it,
daily toil-,he results will carry to every
heart view of the path pursued. His eldest
Z daughter married. and he gave to her one
Third Of the farm rs her marriage portion
Notwithstanding this diminution ofacres, he
had the same quantity ofproducts as former
ly. In due time his Youngest daughter mar
ried MISC and he gave to her one halfof what
remained-and still the produce of his farm
was not diminished. The secret was easily
discovered-hea applied ms much labor and
attention to the remaining third part as he
had been accustomed to give to the whole
farm. Do you ask how this applies to any
of us? Let me explain. We divide our la
Dor over too many acresto afford sufficient
culture to each; and we neglect the aid of sci
etlce, which teaches us to concentrate the va
rious means almost within our control; and
their economical and appropriate application.

n mallet who strikes the third qurter on the
bell in the hand of old Time, and then turns
and glides with a slow step round behind
time; ont gides an old man with mallet,
and places hmselfin front ofhim As the
hour ofl2 comes, the old man raises his NAL
LEI and deliberately strikes twelve times on
the bell, that echoes through the building,and
is heard all round the region of the church.
Then the old man glides slowly behind Faith
or Time, and the young man comes round n
gain. Soon as the old man has struck twelve
and disappeared, another set of machinery is
put in motion, some twenty feet higher still.
II is this: there is n high cross with an image
of Christ on IL The instant twelve has struck
one of the apostles walks out from behind,
comes in front, turns, facing the cross, bows,
and walks on around to his place. As he
doesso, another comes out in front, turns
bows and passesin. So twelve apostles, fig
ures as large as life, walk round, bow and
pass on. As the last appears, an enormous
cock, perched on the pinnacle ofth clock,
slowly flaps its wings, stretches forth its
neck, and crows three times so loud as to be
heard out side the church, TO some distance,
and so natural as 10 be mistaken for real
cock. Then all is silent as death. No won
der this clock is the admiration of Europe
1t was made 1851, and has performed these
mechanical wonders ever since, except about
so years, when it was out ofrepair."

Sow a little corn broadcast for
VnVIr nONHy ....... ..... If

Sowing corn on clean, good soil, broad
cast, for your COWS TO eat utter the grass be-
gins to fail, you will find to he an excellent
plan: Ifyou have but one COW it will not re-
quire much land, say l6 square rods. Ifyou
have more cows put in more. '''
Mr. Fish, ofEIerkimer county, N. Y. allow
cd, as we told you the other day, an acre for
every ten cows, and he sowed it at intervals
oftime, so as to have a succession ofcuttings.
1T will be suitable for fodder after about eigh-
ty days from the time of sowing. Suppose
you wish TO sow an acre for feed; it would be
well TO sow quarter of an acre at a time, leav-
ing seven or eight days between each sowing.
In this way yoUwill have it coming on, fresh
and good, about as fast as you will feed off.
Ifyour land is foul, perhaps it would be bet
ter TO plant in drills, say eight or ten inches
apart, so that the ground could be hoed once
or twice before the corn grew high enough to
shade it. Some prefer the Southern corn for
this purpose, as itgrows taller before coming
out-but either variety is good.-.MHne Far

SAVING LiiaUID MANURE.

The N. E. Farmer, describing MIR Web
ster's farm at Marshfeld, says;
'There is no cellar under the barns, but Mr.
w. has hit upon n method to save every
drop of liquid manure, and in the hest pos
sible way. The planks composing the floors
ofthe caitle's quarters,are laid with an open
ing between them ofabout haitian inch, and
so arranged ms to be easily taken up. The i
dea is TO place about two feet ofloam or 9th
er earth under the floor;ths will absorb all the
liquid part of the manure as it runs down
through the openings, and in the spring will
he converted into the finest manure, when it
is to be replaced by fine mould '
