there's no ism on earth, so bad as Rheumatism -
The venerable sufferer was right. st, Law,
rences grdron or Quatimozin's pallet of fire
was not more emphatically bed of torment than
the couch of the martyr to Rheumatism. 1t Is
generally considered by the faculty one of the
most obstinate as well as one of the most pain
ful of maladies. and it certainly does resist all
ordinary remedies with extraordinary pertinaci.

this painful disease entrenched among the mus
Giles, and iaterknit as it were with the sipews
and tendons Of our frames, is compelled to yield
to the curatives they have provided.
We have it on unquestionable authority-the
testimony of patients themSelves-that Rheum-
atsm, however deeply seated, may be cured by
the regular and persistent application of Hollo-
ways Ointment, This, we feel assured, will be
welcome intelligence to thousands of sufferers,
bed-ridden by the disease or limping with stiff
ened joints along the pathway to the tomb. In
climate where the quicksilver sometimes
makes cap of thirty degrees up or down, the
complaint is of course q prevalent one, and in
our new settlements at the West along the al
luvial borders of our great rivers, i'll the hem
lock swamps of the South, and in all low and
damp locations, few persons reach the age OF
forty years without rheumatic visitation 1t
is Clear IHeIelVIGi THAT IL preparation WHICH VIII

tested statements which have been laid before us,
sustained as they are by circumstances within
our own owledge, that the Ointment referred
to will effect that object, and among all the ben

xue OOuut1y
Our country notes this week are limited, but
we shall be around again among the farmers, in
a week or two and CLEAN more facts in relation
to their farms. which.we shall probably lay before
our readers.
IRA LARABEE, Of Pleasant Prairie, has cap
ital farm of 1870 acres, 90 of which are under The
plough. His crops of Wheat, Oats, Bafle,
Corn and potatoes look remarkably well, and
promise good yield. His orchard contains
some of the most thrifty looking trees we have
seen. His farm is wen stocked with cattle horses
sheep, &C., of improved breeds. We noticed q
piece of early golden flint corn, which is already
fit for use. He has sorue eight varieties of po
ia toes, some of which a.e now fully ripe.
In our trips through the county, we can but
notice the many new residences that are being
put up. These will account in measure foi
the immense amount of lumber that has been
sold in this market the past year. The Ole
houses are fast becoming obsolete and their plac
es filed by neat and tasty as well as commodi
GUS farm houses. We notice that:
NJ D. BURT, of South Bristol is just finishing
off very elegant residence. 1t is of the Gothic
style of architecture, and is beautifully finished
LYMAN SMITH, of South Bristol is the architee
and builder, and he has shown that he is work
man of both taste and skill.
]. G. VINCENT of Bristol, has lately finished
beautiful and commodious residence that sets
off his fine farm TO excellent advantage.
| We are happy to note these evidences of thrift
and prosperity among our farmers.
