Male or Female, from whatever cause they
may have originated, and no matter of how
long standing.
F you have contracted the terrible disease
i which, when once seated in the system, will
surely go down from one Seneratian to another,
undermining the constitution and sapping the
very vital fluids of life do not trust yourself
in the hands of Quacks, who start up every day
in city like this, and fill the papers with gar-
ing fasehoods, too well calculated to deceive the
young those not acquainted with their tricks.
You cannot be too careful in the selection of a
remedy in these cases.
The Fluid Extract Buchu has been pronounc-
ed by eminent physicians the greatest remedy
ever known. 1t is medicine perfectly pleas
ant in its taste, and very innocent in its aetion
and yet so thorough that it anhilates every
particle of the rank and poisonous virus of this
dreadful disease; and, unlike other remedies
does not dry up the disease in the blood.
Constitutional Debility, brought on by self
abuse, a most terrible disease which has brought
thousands of the human race to untimely graves
thus blasting the brilliant hopes of parents
and blighting in the bud the glorious ambition

must benefit everybody, from the simply deli
cate to the confined and despairing invalid. NJ

diseases, after the glands were destroyed ano
the bones already affected.

BURKE PUT TO FLIGHT. Burke,
on one occasion, had just arisen in the
House of Commons, with some papers in
9 his hands, on the subject of which he in
tended to make a motion, when a rough
sshewn member who had no ear for charms
of eloquence, rudely started up and said:
assMr. Speaker, hope the honorable gen.
s.tleman does not mean to read that large
bundle of papers, and bore us with long
speech into the oargainl" Mr.. b. was
SO swollen, or rather SO nearly suffocated
with rage, as to be eincapable of utterance.
and absolutely ran out of the House. On
this occasion, Geo. Selwyn remarked that
lit was the only time he ever saw the fable
realized Of q lion being put to flight by
~the braying of an ass.

How to Prove and Prepare Seed for
Planting


Take small piece of white rag, in
which tie about half thimble full of the
seeds intended to be proved, of any kind
such as onions, beets, &C., and boil them
twenty minutes. If they are good, they
will sprout from one-sixteenth to one
eighth of an inch. Turnip, cabbage. car
rot, or any other kind of good seed will
swell and burst the skin, more or less.
and sprout little. The seed that will
not stand this ordeal, should not be used,
The farmer had better not put in grain or
other crop than lose his labor by sowing
such seed; all seed should be put in cold
rain water over night, before sowing; ii
will soften the skin of the seed, and the
crop will be fastened some two or three
weeks more, than if the seed had not been
so prepared. Also, all spring grain should
be put into cold rain-water, as before
mentioned. In case of the spring prov.
ing dry, Gas is not unfrequently the case,
it would prove to be of the utmost ad
vantage to the farmer.

Several years ago, "when the country
was new" Hon. Nyrum Reynolds, of
Wyoming county, enjoyed quite repu-
tation as successful pettyfogger, He
wasn't very well posted up either in
book hrnin' Or the learning of the law;
but relied principally upon his own native
tack and shrewdness-hi stock of which
has not failed him to this day His great
success created quite an active demand
for his services. On one occasion he was
pitted against q smart t-appearing' well
dressed limb of the law from neighboring
village, who made considerable sport of a
paper which Rayaolds had submitted to
the court, remarking, among other things,
that "ail law papers were required to be
written in the English language, and that
the one under consideration, from its bad
spelling and penmanship, ought in fairness,
therefore, to be excluded" "Gen'l'men

method of cultivating such crops may be made
public-that the farmers of the county gener-

that may be useful to them.
Competitors for premiums ON Corn, and Clo-
