Progress of Intemperance.

The New York Journal Of Commerce,
speaking of the appalling spread Of lntem-
pcrance, says that a large number Of emil
nent names are being erased from the list
of the living, where the true cause of death
is never suspected by the community at
large, (the interpositiOu of surviving
friends saving their memories from lnde!i'
bic disgrace, died Of 'delirium tremens' be-
ing the fearful secret At least two on the
list of subscribers for Intemperate Persons
(at Binghampton)-men who stood high
in the profession Of law and literature
are already victims to this insidlous de-
strover. II has been asserted that men
are not to be found who would voluntarily
commit themselves to an institution for
inebriates but this is refuted by tho fact
that almost before the foundation Stone
was laid there had been t,co thousand etyh
hundred applications for admission, OF
whom, according to Dr. Turner, Cores
pondng Secretary of the New York State
Inebriate Asylum, "more than four hun
dred are ,vomen in the higher walks Of
life, educated aud accomplished" There
appears to be no room for reasonable doubt
on this point.

A Familiar but Forrible illustration Of

ADvERrIzING.-No man goes into busI-
ness without putting sign over his door,
at cost of from ten to twenty dollars.
This is very good, as far as it goes; but
this sign bears his name only, and is seen
occasionally by The fer tcho pass It. But
how many business men think OF the i'm
por,ancs of putting their names in the
newspaper, where they can be seen by
thousands, every day and in every quarter,
where their business and all its particulars
can he explained and presented in its most
profitable aspects? Look at the lottery
men, dealers in medicine, Sc. &c, how
they advertise. and what immense fortunes
they realize by the operation. Should
not our business men, mechanics, mer-
chants, Sc, avail themselves of the same
means of making their name aud business
familiar to the world Try advertising
in the Chronicle-it will "pay."

Grating OIL Fruit Trees.-J. Tanning
NJ. D., Oxford Co, Me, recommends cut
ting of the limbs of old trees, and cover
ing the ends with grating wax, the Spring
before the CRAFTS are to be set. The stock
will send out many young shoots, all OF
which are to be left until the following
wear. Then select the strongest shoots,
and as many Of them as are wanted to
form a wcll.shapcd top, and put the cut
tinss into these by splice grating, using
the usual precautions to exc!ude the AR
Remove about three quarters OF the other
sprouts, aud the following year prune the
rest away. In this way, he says, he has
had great success.
Panting Currants and GooseJerries.
These should be planted in good soil, in
rows, about four fee. apart. Avoid put
ting them against the fences; this leaves
no room to cultivate around them, and
also shuts off the light.
To malc Cdws 'yi0c dolca' their AN;.
Feeding the COW with slops, or some
thing of which she is fond, during the
operation of milking, will some times be
effec.ual Also "bunting" the bag with
the fist, in imitation of the calf, may have
the desired effect.
Ptegeatioa of Borers IN Trees.-J. n.
Van Zandt, Mlffiin Co, Pa, recommends
removing the earth from around the base
of the trunk and killing all the grubs
which may be found, then winding strips
Of wooden cloth(ve like stout paper )around
the trunk, frou. beneath the surface OF the
ground to say one foot aboes, covering 1t
with tar, and returning the soil to its
place. He thinks if this be done In the
Spring aud again coated with tar Ia July,
it will answer for two years.
Planting Pea WevA.-Better not plant
the peas before the bugs (wevi) are de-
stroyed by hot water or steam. The peas
will most of them grow, but the wevil will
also multiply. Put the peas in colander
covered with a plate, and set over a kettle
of boiling water the steam will soon Kill
the bugs without much injuring the peas.

A Warning to Young Men.

James Fleming, recently hung at To-
ronto, Canada, for the murder of COM
panion in nights spree, left letter for
publication. He was good telegraph
operator, young, and well educated. lie

nEaye / Come to This ?"

How painful must be the reflections of
a young man, who has enjoyed the privil-
ere of societT, moral instruction and faith
ful advice, falling into the path Of abomi-
nation, and at last to find himself arrested
in his wicked career by the arm of justice,
and about to receive the penalty of the
law for his crimes, while comparing the
past advantages with the present circum'
stances. Indeed, he may well say, "Ilave
come to this :"
This is not an imaginary case. 1t SO
happened that the writer of this was pres
ent when several convicts arrived at one
of our State Peniten,iaries. Among the
number was young man, about the age
of twenty-four years, of good appearance
and well dressed.

The Best Whitewash we Kaow of.

The arrival of the house cleaning and
house-repairins season, aal several recent
inquiries, remind US to again refer to that
first rate door white-wlsh we described
last June. Nearly years trial has eou-
firined al we said Of it. Our house cell
inss, and the walls where not papered,
which received one coat last May, are now
a. white as after usual fresh coat Of
lime, and We have not been in the least
troubled with its rubbing off, The nu-
merous published receipts to the contrary
notwithstanding, We believe no Prepara-
ton Of lime or other material will adhere
well without the addition of g)us, oil or
varnish. The latter two articles are ex-
pensive, AMI clustic limo mixed with glue
will soon change its color. White chalk

this substance is the best substitute for
lime, as q white wash. \ very hne and

chalk is called "Paris Whiie.' This we
buy at the paint stores for ) cents a pound,

White, We procure halt i pound of tue

cents (fif,y cents per pouad) The sixteen

The glue is covered with cold water ut

heated, without scorchius, until dissolved.

Fashionable Women.
Fashion kills more women than toll al

Fashion kills moro women than t9Ii and
sorrow Obedience to fashion is greater
trans sgression of the laws of wOman's na'
ture, greater injury to the physical and
mental constitution, than the hardships OF
poverty aud neglect. The slave. woman at
her tasks viii live aud grow old, and see
two or three generations of her mistresses
fade and pass away. The washerwoman
with scarce ray of hope to cheer her in
her tolls, will live to SEQ her fashionable
sisters all die around her. The kitchen
maid is hearty aud strong, when her lady
has to be nursed like sick baby. 1t isa
sad truth that fashion pampered women
are almost worthless for all the good ends
of human life. They have but little force
of character; they have still less power Of
moral will, and quite as little physical en-
ergy They live for no great purpose in
life, they accomplish no worthy ends. They
are only dol-forms in the hands of milli-
ners and servants, to Dc dressed ana leu
to order. They dress nobody; they feed
nobody they instruct nobody; they bless
nobody, and save nobody. They write no
books; they set no examples of true and
womanly life. If they rear children, ser
wants do all, save to conceive and give
them birth. Aud when reared, what are
they? What do they ever amount to,
but weaker scions of the old stock! Who
ever heard of fashionable womau's child
exhibiting any virtue and power of mind
for which it became eminent? Read the
biographies of our great and good men and
women. Not one of them had a fashiona-
bic mother. They nearly all sprung from
strong minded women, who had about as
little to do with fashion as with the chang
ing clouds.

number of applications fled during the
year is 1868, while the patents issued to
American citizens amount to 1868, aud

has been issued during any previous year
The interests of agriculture were represen-

Prospects of the Country In 1859.

The Courier, in an editorial upon the
subject, states that the erPorts from New
\ Iork for the first eight months of the
present fiscal year, exclusive of specie,
were Thirty Five Millions of DoIiars;
the imports into New York for the same
period have been One Hundred and Twen.
ty-Nine Millions of Dollars, or an ercsss
cfNtae,y -Four Millions Of dollars in the
imports into one port IN the past eight
months. 1t is well asked:
''If we do have good crops, can such an
enormous expenditure Of the vitals of the
country, namely, capital and raw material
at low prices, be continually made for the
high priced manufactures of pauper Eu-
rope? The total exports of agricultural
products last year from Ohio, the richest
agricultural State in the Union, was less
than twenty five dollars for each inhabl-
tant, and not one-third of this, or five
dollars for each person, ever flOated on
salt water or paid debt abroad, and yet
We are now importing at the rate of fifteen
dollars for each person in the whole coun-
try, in rich silks, high priced cotton goods,
and luxuries of one sort and another, in-
cludiug iron rails for our railroads. We
: have examined returns from different
parts of the country, and will admit that
there never was as much land put in cul-
tivatiOn and with good weather there new.

But never had We as many idle non-pro
ducers; never before did it take the prof
it of as many bushels of wheat to pay for
one yard of high priced cotton goods,
made in Europe from the raw material
raised here. Not for twenty years have
there been, proportionally to our size and
numbers, as few new cotton mills, iron
furnaces and coal companies to make a

Galusha A. Grow.

Mr.. Grow has represented the people of
the Fourteenth Congressional District, in
Congress for the last eight years. He is
a striking instance of the wisdom of keep
ing the same man in legislative service for
successive terms He is a man of deci-
ded ability, fluent speaker, a vigorous
debater, prompt in action Gas keiit can
testify,) and fertile in resource. Expert.
ence, added to excellent native capacity,
has made him an accomplished parliamen-
tartan. There are a number of men in
the last Congress his equals in intellect,
but it is no dsparagement to them to say
that few if any could have as skilfully
engineered through the House the Home
stead Bill or brought the Postage ques-
tion to as ready test The fact is, Nor
thern men are too often taken out Of Con-
gress just as they are becoming most use.
full The new member is shy. lie is
somewha: daunted by the bold tone of his
Southern opponents. lie is constantly
liable to be tripped up in his ignorance of
parliamentary tactics. He is therefore
necessarily hesilatingin his action, because
not sure of his ground. Give him expe-
rience; he becomes familiar with the
mode of transactiog business and with the
details of parliamentary law. He learns
to estimate Southern bluster at its true
value, and each day of his career he be-
comes more valuable to his country and
more creditabe to himself. Mr.. Grow
has pluck Of high order, as wellas brains.
lie has honesty as well as experience.
Straightforward, aTable, attentive to his
business, familiar alike with the needs OF
the country and its resources, he is rep
resentative of whom the Fourteenth Con-
gressional District may we'll be proud
