IKE MARvELs ADDRESS TO FARMERs.-Donald G.
Mitchell Qke MarveD recently delivered the annual
address before the Connecticut State Agricultural
Society. From a condensed report in the Hartford
papers select the following admirable closing par.
agraphs:
But there is something worth living for, besides
money. That is very good, but it is not all. With
the rest let raise crop of good ideas. While you
a farmer, remember that you men, with duties
and responsibilities. Live down the old brutal notion
that farmer must be uncoutb, uneducated, and
unthinkng-a mere plodder
You are brought into immediate contact with the
great heart of civilization You cannot get out of
the buzz of the toiling world. The trl of the
der working wire and the rumble of locomotives
(the thunder-threat of nations) come to your once
Move towards better life. Do not keep your
boys corn-sbeliing in the long winter evenings
Make your farms place that your sons and dasgh-
tiers cannot help loving Cultivate the trees-they
nothing for looks. You do care, else why did you
build that two story white house, with blinds, and
cupola into which you never go? Or why did you
years ago carefully brush your coat ana pluck up
your shirt collar when You were starting on q Sun
day evening, to visit that good woman who now
shares your home?
Care much more for books and pictures. Don't
keep solemn parlor into which you 60 but once
month with the parson or the sewing society. Hang
around your walls pictures which tell stories Of
mercy, hope and charity. Make your living room
the largest and most cheerful in the house. Let the
place be such that when your boy has gone to dis
tant lands, even when. perhaps he cngs to a sin.
gle plank in the lonely waters of the wide ocean,
the thought of the still homestead shall come across
the desolaton bringing always light hope, and love.
Have dungeons about your housc-no room
you never open-no blinds that always shut.
Don't teach your daughters French before they
can weed fower.bed or cling to sde.sadde; and,
daughters! do not be ashamed of the pruning knife.
Bring to your door the richest flowers from the
woods cultivate the friendship of birds; scorn the
scamp that levels his murderous gun at the bue.brd
or the robin. Study botany, learn to love nature,
and seek higher cultivation than the fashionable
world would give you.
CURE FOR CANcERs.-Our attention has been re.
Gently called to cure for cancer, which is of SO
much importance, that we wish to make it known az
widely possible. Some eight months ago, Mr..
7. B. Mason-who keeps music store on Wisconsin
street, and is a brother of the well known Lowell
Mason-ascertained that he had cancer on his
Wolcott, and the wound partially healed. Suisse
quenty it grew again. and while he was in Cincin-
natl business It attained the size Of hickory nut
He has remained there since Christmas under treat
| ment and has come back perfectly well cured. The
process is this:
A piece of sticking plaster Was put over the can
GER with circular piece cut out of the CENTRE arg
er than the cancer that the cancer and a small
circular rim Of healthy skin next to it mas exposed
Then plaster made of cloride of zinc, bloodroot
and wheat -four was spread on piece of muslin of
the size of this circular opening and applied to the
cancer for "a hours. On removing it the cancer
will be found to be burnt into and appear Of the
color and hardness of an old shoe SOLE and the cir
cular rim outside of it will appear white and par
| boiled as if scalded by hot steam. The wound is
now dressed, and the outside rim soon suppurates
| and the cancer comes out hard lump, and the
place heals up. The plaster kills the cancer SO that
| it sloughs out like dead flesh, and never crows
| again.
This remedy was discovered by DR.. Fell, of Lon
don and has been used by him for six or eight years
with unfailing success, and not a case has been
known of the temperance Of the cancer, where
this remedy has been applied It has the sanction
| Of the most eminent physicians and surgeons Of
London, but has not till recently, been used in this
country, and many Of the faculty, with their pro.
verbal opposition to innocations look upon it with

eight years experience in other cases, ne have no

Mason is we'll known both here and at the East-
