Professor Barry, after careful exa mnation of his

endorsement as this. The cheapness of the article,
and the explanations given of its chemical action

superficial irritation first recommended it to
the attention of the people. This was all that
the inventor desired Every bottle advertised
itself. The effects of the fluid exceeded expec-

not be without it. Country dealers in every
section of the United States found they must

The SHADE TREEs.-The ailantbus tree, which
has become in general use for shade trees in some
of our streets, from the fact OF its rapid growth
and ornamental appearance, is now in blossom,
aad emits its usual disagreeabe odor For seye-
raj years past at the towering season OF this tree,
there have been complaints made that the odor
was detrimental to health. In the city of Wash
in gton, We believe, effort made last year to
have the trees removed from the public parks.
One thing is certain, that worms do not infest the
ailanihus, and its foliage remains the boughs
till fall while other shade trees entirely de
yopred by the vermin long before the summer is
past The question whether the odor of the allan
thus is noKious has never been settled by the ply
