pervades the whole body, and may burst out in

Its effects commence by deposition from the

not only suffer from scrofulous complaints, but
they have far less power to Withstand the attacks
of other diseases: consequently, vast numbers
perish by disorders which, although not scrofu-

this taint in the system. Most of the consump-

origin directly in this scrofuIous contamination

from or are aggravated by the same cause.

Emigration to Hammonton New Jersey
The emigration stil continues to thi,
new settlement. The present season the
crops are excellent. Grapes and peach
es will yield we'll. The grape will yield
largely. Some forty vinyards have re.
Gently been set out.
Considering that this locality is entire.
ly secure from blighting frosts, it present,
great inducements for profitable farming
to those who must leave. The loss o,
wealth to farmers in the North, from
frosts, amounts to incalculable millions,
whilst the GOODNESS of their climate also
debars them from raising of the most
profitable crops.
This New England settlement is un-
dergoiug vast improvements, and increase
efpopulation. We understand that with
in the past year the population has in
creased some 1900. Ia business way
the improvement is even more marked.
We learn that some parties think oi

Inasmuch as ehoe manufacturers go tc

to buy their leather, and then sell their
shoes, there is no reason Why the shoe
business cannot be carried on to great ad.

He looked as if he might be tough, but he

muscle should be so potential in his rule.
Poor Jones-that's what we'll call him

was not inclined to knock under, and be con-
trolled despotically by man that he imagined
he could tie and whip. He at length deter
