MORE LlBELs.-The Tribune recently con-
tanned savage letter from Mr.. Fry who is
carrying on libel suit against Bennett Of
the Herald, charging among other things
that Bennett extorted $4,000 from a man
who happened to be in Rosna Townsend's
house on the night Of the Ellen Jewett muir
der and that still threatened with exposure
by the Herald, the unfortunate man sought
refuge in self destruction. The Herald Of
Sunday states that Bennett will now bring
suits against the Tribune and also against
the Express, for publishing the slanderous
charge. SO it would seem that the passions
of our New York brethren are getting them
into terrible mess.

A stocking knitting machine is among the
latest novelties in New York. 1t was pat
ented in 1851, but, with the exception Of
few in Connecticut, has not been practically
tested. The Mirror says:
~ girl ten years old can knit half doz,
en- pairs of stockings in day, working the
machine by hand or foot. In a factory, with
motive power, one person can manage doz.
en- machines. The stocking is entirely made
by the machine, from top to toe, and no
nimbe fingers of industrious elderly maidens,
sitting by the hearth corner, could widen
or narrow or heel or toe more per

one of its members, Quaker, major general

but the house persisted in sending the nomi-

SHORT MEASURES. The severest comman-
tary on the honesty of New York retailers is
to be found in the recent report Of the officer
who examines weights and measures, by
which it appears, that ont of one thousand
three hundred and ninety-sevcn dry meas
ures examined during the last year, only three
hundred and seventeen were found correct;
while of all the wet measures examined,
thirds were found to be incorrect. This
would scarcely be credible were it not an
official fact.

To PRESERVE Iron AND STEEL KNIVES
FRom RUsT.-Procure some melted virgin
wax-the purer the better-and rub it thor.
oughly over the blades of the knives. After
it has dried, warm the knives, and having
carefully removed the wax from the surface,
rub them briskly with dry cloth until the
original polish is fully restored. This will
fill all the pores with the unctious and mi
mute PARTICLES of the wax, which will adhere
firmly, and prevent the intrusion of water or
moisture, which is the cause of rust.

RAscALITY OF A HEN. "A Spanish hen, who
was great favorite of her mistress, was ac-
customed to be fed with dainty meal every
time she laid an egg. Chucky soon found
this out, and would go to her nest and sit
there a few moments, and then come forth
chuckling as loud as if she had performed a
great feat, and for day or two got the usual
reward; but on no egg being found on several
occasions, it was suspected that Mrs. Chuck
erly was playing false, and her usual feed
being withheld, it was found that for two or
three times together on the same day she
would repeat the dodge Of going and setting
for short time on her nest, and then come
forth chuckling as loud as she could for her
expected reward.-[ Poultry Chronicle.

Holloway's Pills, a certain remedy
for Indigestion and Liver Complaint
Maria Armstrong, of Edgartown, N. j.,
was a severe sufferer from this complaint
and tried a number of rcputed remedies
hoping they would benefit him, but he
became so bad at last, as to be entirely
confined to his bed, and he was unable
to move either hand or foot. While he
was in this horrible condition, a friend
brought him quantity Of Holloway's
Ointment and Pills, which he immedi-
ately commenced to use, be soon found
himself gradually improved by them,
and by persevering with them for eleven
weeks, he was entirely cured, and has
since enjoyed the best of health.

n@- DR.. Reese, of the American
Medical Gazette, asks to have it KEEP
before the people, that the only sure
and infallibls remedy for burns and
scalds is wheat -four, freely and repeat
edly laid on He has tried it for thirty
years and never had a fatal case. He
has known the most extensive burns by
falling into cauldrons of burning oil, and
even molten copper; and yet the
patients were rescued by this simple and
cheap remedy, which, from its infallible
success should supplant all the fashiona-
Bile nostrums, whether oil, cotton, lead
water, ice, turpentine, or pain extract
ors, every one Of which has long been
tried thousand times with fatal result,
and the victims have died in excrutiat-
ing agony, when few handsful Of -four
would have calmed them to sleep and
rescued them from pain and death.
