When q discovery is made which is
calculated to benefit mankind, it becomes
the duty Of every good citizen to aysil
themselves Of the results arising there.
from In accordance with tliese views,
we feel it our duty tobSing 70 the notice
Of our readers the extraordinary merits Of
. medical discovery known as Carers
Spanish Mixture. 1t is the most pow
erful, effectual and certain remedy for
oil diseases of the Blood yet brought be-
fore the public. 1t has permanently and
positively cured more than ten thousand
cases of the worst formsAof Blood Dis
ease, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, Liy-
err D isease, Syphilis, Feverand Ague and
other kindred diseases, many of which
set at nought the physicians skill and
laugh at all the ordinary efforts Of science
TO- conquer and subdue them. While
Carter's Spanish Mixture contains no
Mercury, Opium, or anything injurious,
yet it, success in curing disease has left
ii without rival; and wherever Il has
become known is regularly prescribed by
physicians who are fully conscious Of its
effects. and avail themselves Of its mer-
its because it has deserved their com.
mendation. 1t would be better tory it
in time-the sooner the better. nib I.

INTERESTING TO FARMERS.
Wells Improved Patent Churns.

INTERESTING TO FARMERS.
Wells Improved Patent Churns.
Butter Can be Prodaced in Five Minutes.
THE operation Of this improved Churn
i is as follows: The dasher is moved
vertically by a lever, and lis at each ups
ward stroke lifted above the surface Of the
cream. Its descent causes q rush OF
cream through q channel, which current,
taking the direction Of the sides Of the
channel, forms continuous hollow col
.umn Of cream, running upward toward a
shaft, where it meets and encloses the
body of air which has been drawn down
blythe disc portion Of the dasher. This
air, in bursting through its enclosure as
the dasher continues its descent, scatters
the cream ina foam towards the inner
surface Of the body of the Churn, eau
sing it to enclose the column Of air drawn
down by the annular portion Of the dash
er. This column in its turn breaks
through the cream, and adding tothe az.
itation already produced, scatters it up
ward in mass Of foam. This action 81
the atmosphere is repeated at each down
stroke Of the dasher, producing the spec
dy transformation of the cream to butter.
The superior atmospheric action Of this
Churn Is due TO the formation, in the
dasber, ola passage, whereby d continu-
GUS column Of cream Is thrown up for en-,
closing the air. The effect Of the down
stroke being altogether different from thal
Of any other perforated dasher.
The undersigned having bought Tho
patent-right for these Churns for the
counties Of Putnam and Mason, is pre-.
pared to furnished the public withthem
They are made Of white oak wood, will
iron hoops, in \ finished and substantial
manner, and will be sold at reasonable
prices. The Churns may be seen at Buff
falo, Putnam county. N. WILSON.

Women in Assyria.

The position Of women in ancient
Assyria is abundantly illustrated by tho
extraordinary method adopted to dis.
pose OF them in marriage. Speaking of
Assyrian customs, Herodotus says, very
uaireiu: The aoiseSt, an my idea, IS
tits, which l understand holds also
among the Venetians of Illyria. Once
every year, tho following scene took
place in every village. Whatever maid
ems might be of manageable years, were
all collected and brought iuto ono GER
tain place, around which stood multi
tude of men. A crer called up each
girl separately, and offered her for sale:
he began with the prettiest OF the lot,
and wien she had found rich bidding,
he sold her off and called up onother
tho next he ranked in beauty. all
these girls were sold off in marriage -
the rich men who were candidates for
wife. bale against one another for the
bandsomest the more humble classes,
desirous Of getting partners, did not re-
quire absolutely beauty, but were will
ling to take even the ugly girls for a
sum of money. Therefore, when tho
crier had gone through tho list of the
prcttiest women, and disposed of them,
he put up the usliest, or some one that
was a cripple, if any there were, and
offering to dispose of her, called out for
the bidder that would for the smallest
sum take her to lire NTH him ; so he
went on till he camo to her that he con-
sidered the most forbiddiug. The
money for this was got by the sale OF
the pretty maidens so that the hand
