sick, and the rest "lying around loose" drunk,

PENNSYLVANIA Coal TRADE.-The Philadelphia
Ledger Of Saturday says:
The anthracite coal trade continues active. The
shipments on the Schuylkill navigation for the
week ending on Thursday last were 29,9l6 tons,
and for the season 651 ,089 tons, against 569,S27
tons to the same time last year. The coal tonnage
Of the Reading Railroad for the week ending ON
Thursday was So, 227 tons, and for the year ,52s,
55l tons against ,363,172 tons to corresponding
time last year. The shipments Of coal upon the
Lehgh for the week ending with Saturday last,
40, 023 tons against 3S54s tons for corresponding
week Of last year. For the season, 100, 0b5 tons,

The demand for shipment continues very active,
but the supply Of vessels is insufficient The retail
market has shown considerable animation during
the past week. The period of greatest langour
and depression has apparently been passed, and
the trade may be expected TO exhibit a steady i'm.
provement as the season approaches its termina-
ton.

DECISION AGAINST THE NEw YORK LIQUOR Law.
Two important opinions under the Prohibtory
Liquor Law OF the State Of New York were REM
dered on Fridsyat Brooklyn by the supreme court
Of the second judicial district In one case liquor
dealer at Poughkeepsie had been convicted and
sentenced to the stated penalty by tie Duchess
county court and in the other a Brooklyn hotel
keeper, who submitted TO the seizure Of few bot
ties Of imported wines for the purpose Of testing
the law, was condemned by the court Of special
sessions to fine Of fifty dollars and the forfeiture
Of the liquor. Both parties carried an appeal to
the supreme court, where the cases we're fully ar.
gued, and, after a consideration Of several weeks,
the decisions hare both been reversed and the sen
fences set aside.
This action Of the Supreme Court is the most
important that has yet taken place under the law.
All the Judges, Brown, Strong and Rockwell,
were unanimous that the former Judgment should
be reversed, but the latter two could not concur
fully in the opinion Of the former that the prohibit
tory clauses we're unconstitutional. Judge Brown
maintains that intoxicating liquors are property in
the fullest sense that the Legislature cannot al
ter their nature and cannot therefore forbid their
sale. The Legislature cannot declare liquor to be
a nuisance. The right to import conveys the
right to sell.

letter, Pimples on the Face, and all Scaly
Eruptions of the Skin.
THIS article is now prescribed by some of the
i most distinguished physicians in the coun-
try. and has proved more efficient in practice
than any preparation of Sarsaparilla yet offer
ed to the public. Several cases of secondary
Syphilis Mercural and Scrofulous diseases
have entirely recovered in the incurable wards
Of our Public Institutions which had for many
years resisted every mode of treatment that
could be devised. These cases furnish striking
examples of the salutary effects of this medi-
cine in arresting some of the most inveterate
diseases, after the glands were destroyed, and
the bones already affected.
NorIcE-Letters from responsible Physicians
and Professors of several Medical Colleges and
certificates of cures from patients will be found
accompanying both Preparations.

Hem5olds Highly Concentrated
Compound Fluid Extract EsucIau.


For diseases of the Bladder and Kidneys. Sc
cret Diseases, Structures. Weakness and al
diseases of the Sexual Organs, whether in
Male or Female, from whatever cause they
may have originated and no matter OF how
long standing.
IF you have contracted the terrible disease
i which, when once seated in the system, will
surely go down from one generatian to another,
undermining the constitution and sapping the
in the hands of Quacks, who start up every day
in city like this, and fill the papers with glar-
ing falschoods, too well calculated to deceive the
young, those not acquainted with their tricks.
Gou 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 action,
and yet thorough that it anihlates 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
of many a noble youth, can be cured by this
Infallible Remedy. And as a medicine which
must benefit everybody, from the simply deli
cate to the confined and despaIing invalid, no
equal is to be found acting both as cure and
preventive.

Fixed Facts IN Agriculture.

l. All lands on which clover or grasses
are grown, must have lime in them natu-
rally, or the mineral must be artiicially
supplied in the form of stone lime, oyster
lime, or mari.
2. All permanent improvement in land
must look to lime as its basis.
3. Lands which have been long in cul-
tivation will be benefited by the applica-
ton of the phosphate of lime, and it is
unimportant whether the deficiency is sup
piled in the form of bone dust, guano,
native phosphate of ime or mari, if the
land need lining also.
4. No land can be preserved in a high
state of fertility, unless clover and the
grasses are cultivated in the course of
rotation.
5. Mold is indispensable to every soil;
and healthy supply can alone be pre-
served through the cultivation of clover,
and the grasses, the turning under of
green crops, or by the application of COM
post rich in the element of mold.
6. All highly concentrated animal ma
nures are increased in value, and their
benefits prolonged by their admixture with
salt, or plaster, or pulverized charcoal.
l.. Deep plowing greatly improves the
productive powers of every kind of soil
that is not wet.
s. Sabsoiling sound land, that is, land
that is not wet, eminently conduces to
increase production.
8. All wet land should be drained.
TO- All grain crops should be harvest
ed before the grain is thoroughly ripe.
IL. Glover as well as the grasses in
tended for hay should be moved when in
bloom, or before fully ripe.
IL. Sandy lands can be effectually i'm
proved by clay. When such land requires
lining or mariing, the lime or mari is
most benefcially applied when made into
compost with clay
ll3. The chopping or grinding of grain,
or steaming of roots to be fed to stock,
operates as saving of at least 25 per
cent.
IA. To manure or lime lands which
need draining, is to throw manure, lime,
and labor away. -
Is. Shallow plowing will impoverish
the soil while it decreases production, and
eventually become quite exhausted. One
inch deeper ploughing will increase the
product loo per cent. Think what a sum
that would be on corn alone. sa
l6. By stabling or sheltering stock
through winter, a saving of one fourth
the food may be effected-that is, one
fourth less food will answer than when

aThem Ere Legs },

A distinguished public speaker not
long since Illustrated in a conversation
with us, the singular want of acquaintance
in certain localities with Scriptural sub
jects and phraseology,. By the anecdote,w we
subjoin. If the extreme ignorance Of the
hero did not relieve him from all imputa-
tion of the sort, he wonld be considered a
coarse blasphemer; but our informant, who
vouches for the facts on personal knowl-
edge, states that the case was nothing
more nor less than an nexemplifcation oftheI
happy simplicity which characterizes some
OF the back woods counties of Tennessee.
1t seems that an adventurous SON Of the
State mentioned, born and nurtured among
the mountains, went down to the city Of
Memphis to .seek his fortunes He found,
instead, q complaint which the Mississippi
water not unfrequently generates, and
which, whether it finds speedy termination
in the cramps of cholera, or whether it
gradually saps life in chronic form, is
always to be dreaded. It was in this lat
ter shape that poor Bagley epieked it up, !"
and month after month it tugged at his
vital, reducing him day by day, until at
length be was but the outline of man
. mere peripatetic skeleton
A worthy minister marked the poor
fellow, and seeing that the king of terrors
had spotted" him, determined to call on
him and offer spiritual consolation. 1t
never occurred to him that the ears of
any one born in christian country could
be entirely unfamiliar with the vebiage
by which spiritual subjects are commonly
approached. He, therefore after seeing that
diseas ewas accomplishing its ends in Bag
ley's system, broached the important topic
somewhatthus:
my dear Mr.. Bagley, in view of your
relations with this life, how do you feel?''
rDd sick, was the prompt reply.
Don't swear, my poor. friend" said
the parson, Aand let me earnestly ask you
if you ever think of your latter end?"
sLordlp said Bagley II aim thought
on nothin' else for MORN three months,''
s.Not I'm afraid, in the right way, Mr.
Bagley; beg you to pause and reflect!
1t is time you began to wrestle with the
Lortl!'
The sick man looked down at his mis-
cradle, ,calfiess poker legs extending befor,
him, and with an ineffable expression o
amazement in his countenance exclaimed
"Rastle with the Lord! What! witt
them ere legs!''- pointing to his own
why parson, he'd airt me to the d
the very first pass" ieg
The record in the case does not disclos
whether the parson continued his effort
on SO obtuse an intellect; but we thlnl
the inference fair that SO tough
customer survived even the schroni
Mississippi-water complaint. .''--lRontgons
