Fruit Prospect.

Peach and cherry buds in the north
and northeast are said to be all kill.
ed. The severe weather experienced
on the 10th of January, when the
mercury in the thermometer reeeded
from 10 10 IA degrees below zero, did
the work. A temperature Of from 10
to IA degrees below zero is fatal to the
peach bud, and often to the tree itself
In this region, the winter has been
very mild, and as yet, peaches, cher.
ries and other tender fruits remain
uniniured, although serious appre-
tensions have been felt by fruit grow
ers, that the mild weather would
bring forward the buds so early as to
expose them to more than the usual
hazard from spring frosts. The fruit
of all this section was last year killed
when in blossom, prior to which there
never had been finer prospect for an
abundant yield.
We this year feel a more than usual
solicitude ABOUT the crop, as the CEN
trail and eastern portion of the State
are anxious to have an opportunity to
display the Advancement they have
made in horticulture and improvement

Value Of Coal Ashes.

The question is frequently asked,
are coal ashes good for anything for
manurial purposes 7 to which | can
answer, yes. | have used them more
or ess for the last twenty years--the
anthracite for the most time in Rhode
Island, and the bituminous here in
Ohio for the last four years and |
should as soon think of throwing away
my wood ashes as my coal ashes. To
tell YOU when and how | have EN-.
ployed them with benefit would
lengthen out this communication be.
yond the limits OF the patience OF
your readers. Suffi 'e it to say that as
an absorbent for highly ammoniacal
manures, think them invaluable. |
have also found them very valuable
in rendering a stiff soil light and po.
rous, and q light sandy soil compact.
! have piece Of ground which fonr
years ago was a coarse yellow sand.
BY composing my hen manure with
coal ashes, the sweepjngs Of the wood
house, the grass and weeds of tho
yard and garden, and the Slop from the
chambers, the soil is getting quite
dark and compact, and | have been
enabled to get the same crops off the
same ground year after year. Indeed
such sweet corn and cabbages as |
have had year after year, would be
hard to beat. To get the full benefit
from coal ashes as an absorbent and
deodorizer, they should be used fresh
or kept dry.-Counhy Gentleman.

AguG Cure,
PoR rME sPEEDY cuRE oR

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, aud Bilious FeVers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases Origi-
Mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with a perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Precention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this balettIl distempcr. This "CURE" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGUE
from the system and prevents the develop
mcnt Of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
n dollar brings it within the reach of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AN6 AGuE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich, A
great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and cer-
tain cure of Intcrmittents is, that it contains
no Qunine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Agueis not alone the consequence
of the masmatic poison. A great variety of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
arc Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, To0thache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis and Derangement of the Stomach,
all Of which, when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This "CURE" expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fiction, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Intermittents, if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy af-
iordS.

Garden Hints for March.

AS soon as the weather permits un-
cover roses and herbaceous plants,
get ready places to receive fruit and
ornamental trees. Prepare walks and
have the ground ready for early spring
work. Grass seeds for lawns had bet
ter be sown now than later. Give a
liberal supply Of water to growing
plants and bring them to light and
air in warm weather. Sow some an
nual seeds for early Towering. Trans
plant all plants at once that require it.
Finish pruning this month, especially
grapes.-J. l.. S IN 0. CuLti0ator.

Ayers Cathartic Pills,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OFAFAMILY PHYSlC,

are so composed that disease within the range Of
their action can rarely Withstand or eyade them.
Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigorate every portion of the human organ
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalities. AS a consequence Of these
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with
pain Or physical debility is asonished to find his
health or energy restored by remedy at once so
simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the everyday complaints
Of every body, but also many formidable and
dangerous diseases. The agent below named is
pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac,
containing certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Costire
ness, Heartburn, Headache arising from diSordered
Stomach, Nausea Indigestion, Pam IN and Morbid
baction of the BOrels, FlatuieRcy, Loss of Appe-
tte, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints,
arising from low state ofthe body or obstruction
of its functions. They are an excellent Alternative
for the renovation of the blood and the restora-
tion of tone and strength to the system debltated
by disease.
