That favorite remedy, Smiths Tonic Syr-
up--the reputation of which has been estab-
lished for years as certain cure for fever
and ague, in all its various forms and stages,
as well as in climates where the disease as
sumed the most aggravated type--is now
offered TO the afflicted, endorsed with the
broad assertion that it WILL CURE when ia
ken pursuant to directions.
Combining with its powerful and general
tonic properties cathartic and sudorific
action, it can be used with perfect safety
without any previous preparation of the
system.
1t corrects and prevents the febrile ex-
element which unusually attends and so
often defeats in its early use quinine, and
the other remedies in the treatment of ague
and fever. Hence il viii be seen, that its
use allays rather than endangers the patient,
by an increase of the suffering after the
chill subsidies.

Female HerOiSm,

The following incident is related as hay
ing occurred on the burning of the steamer
Webster, on the Mississippi River:
"a young lady named Miss C. Dill, Of
Dayton, Ohio, who is possessed of extra
ordinary physical power and courage, miss
ed her protector, and at once set about the
means to save herself Observing at the
moment two children by her side, helpless
and unprotected, she seized one in each
arm, got down to the lower deck, procured
board wrestling it from the boat, and
threw it into the water with the tender
charges she held. The young lady be-
came SO courageous in the calamity, that she
jumped over after the board, and by its as
sistance foated down the river considera-
BILE distance, and was taken up by skifi
at about mile from the boat, both herself
and the children safe. Such an act of hero
ism deserves the highest encomiums hav-
ing no selfish feeling for her own life, but
nobly extending her services to the helpless
and unprotected; kind Providence watch
ed over her, and she was saved from an ul.
innate grave"

Narrow Escape,

A little girl about three years of age,
daughter of Alexander Radmond, on Mon
day last while playing with other children
near well some fifty or sixty feet deep,
accidentally fell in headforemost. Mr..
r., who fortunately happened to be in
hailing distance, instantly, and with great
presence of mind, made his way into the
well. He was aided in the descent by the
well rope, until the skin was literally
burned from his fingers, when he was
compelled 10 relinquish his hold and let
himself down by his elbows, which pre-
vented his falling, but were badly lacera-
ted upon the stones. On reaching the
water, no trace of the child appeared. He
lost no time in plunging to the bottom,
(about seven or eight feet,) and bringing
up the child, who gave little evidence Of
life. Scarcely knowing whether his little
favorite was dead or alive, he placed her
on his shoulder and proceeded upwards as
we'll as he was able, suffering greatly from
pain, anxiety and exhaustion. He sue
ceeded with great difficulty, and with no
aid whatever in reaching the "upper air."
and on inspection discovered that his child
was not only alive, but to all appearance
tetcl.y aainjured! A more wondrous in
cident has never come to our knowledge.
The incident illustrates the great value of
cool self-posscssion and prompt action in
all trying emergencies.-Nemphis Adro-

fountains of the heart-that this humane
individual has spared to his infantile
friends, can not be enumerated, or even
estimated. The relief which the commu-
nifty at large have experienced, since their

by the poet and recorded by the scholar

ing more nor less than "Baby Walker"
Aye, reader, a "baby walker" an arrange

little one, whose limbs fail to afford the
requisite support for such purpose. Its
form resembles somewhat a common par
lor ottoman, though in the top is cut a
hole, into which the baby is placed, and
secured from falling. A small saddle is
suspended beneath the hole. upon which
the infant rests, its feet touching the floor.
The saddles supported on springs which
give up and down moving at every motion
of the little occupant. The contrivance is
placed upon castors, and can therefore be

Educate Your DAUGHTERS,

A writer says !: "When l lived among
the Choctaw Indians, held consultation
with one of their chiefs respecting the
successive stages Of their progress in the
arts of civilized life ; and among other
things he informed me at their first start
they fell into great mistake-they only
sent their boys to school. They became
intelligent men, but they married unedu-
Gated and uncivilized wives, and the uni
form result was, that the children were all
like the mother; and soon the father lost
all interest in both wife and children.
"And now" says he, elf We could edu-
cate but one class of our children, we
should choose the girls; for when they
became mothers they would educate their
sons" This is to the point, and it is
true. No nation can become fully and
permanently civilized and enlightened,
when them others are not, to good degree,
qualified to discharge the duties of the
home work of education"

On Breaking Colts.

Breaking colts being business that al
most every farmer has to do, at least every
one is apt to consider his mode of man
agement the best. Now, as there are
many colts spoiled by mismanagement in
breaking, 1 am inclined to believe that
every man is not capable of understanding
the disposition of every colt, and breaking
them in a proper manner SO as to have
them work kindly. 1t is true, there ara
colts that may be managed, and be made
to do every kind of labor by almost any
one, bat there are others which require
skilful and proper management before
they become kind. A horse that is con-
trary about standing and at starting, has
not, in my opinion, been rightly taught in
breaking, or has been spoilt since by i'm
proper management, and I think all will
admit that horse that will not stand quietly
until you are safely seated in your car.
riage, is dangerous horse to own; 1
would rather whip horse to make him
stand, than to make him start. A colt
that has been rightly managed is always
ready to start when he is told so to do,
but they should be treated very kindly,
and with great patience.
L have broken many colts, and found it
the best way to bit them very lightly at
first; by tight biting at first, have known
colts to throw themselves and even break
their neeks by falling. When in harness,
they must be taught to stop, and stand
when spoken to, and not be allowed to
start, until they stand perfectly at ease
mana ging thus, l have never failed to
break them to start moderately and kindly.
When driving them in harness and before
they are attached to carriage, take .
rope, and tying it to the tugs, hold back
with one hand, to teach them to draw on.
Colts as well as older horses are apt to
see many things to frighten them, while
being lead in bride or headstall; on
these occasions they should never be struck,
but treated very kindly and spoken to
encouragingly; many horse is spoilt for
life by being fored up by whipping to an
object at which they have expressed .
sense Of fear; the man who would fog his
horse on such an occasion ought to be .
horse in the next world, as some believe,
when he may very naturally expect to be
served out for his cruelty. A colt while
breaking should not be left hitched to =
post for any length of time unless you arc
near it is best to take him out of the
shafts, unless this be the case.-Bosso,s

Ploughing Deep with a Light Team.

A writer in the Rural New Yorker,
over the signature of H. D. B., gives the
following description of the method he
adopted to plough his land eight inches
deep when the strength of his team was
adequate to four inches only. He guaged
the wheel ofhis plough to four inches, and
went easily around his piece without rest
ing. He then turned the clevis to right
side, and put the nigh horse into the fur
row, and ploughed round in the same fur
row four inches deeper, which made the
furrow in fact eight inches deep. By this
practice, he conceives that be gained
three-fold advantage 1st. His team
could plough easily, and as much in day
as they could by ploughing six inches.
I'd. He obtained proper depth, which
answered every purpose of subsoiling. Sd.
The second furrow lifted the dirt on to the
sod, and filed the crevices between the
burrows, which will make it much easier
for tillinr his corn.

the rains, and the melting SHOWS in the
hills The streams themselves are bridged,
but the sloughs, or side cuts, which carry
off the surplus water, are open. In cross
ing these, the water made clever sweep
over the buggy-no damage but a washing,
not particularly nice More than half of
the way one passes over plains without
tree or shrub. The whole is now carpeted
with grass and flowers, growing in wild
profusion. Fine belts of woodland border
the streams. The timber is mostly oak
or. sycamore. Farming has commenced at
various points, and the crops are very
promising The streams crossed are the

in the State and is a fine, fourishing place.
