DIR. Bennett ascribcs TO the tomato
the following important medical proper
ties

the least harmful, remedial agents known
to the professions.
ID. That q chemical extract will be OBJ
taincd from it, that will supercede the
use of calomel in the cure Of disease.
3D.. That he has successfully treated

diet, it is almost sovereign for dyspopsia
and Indigestion.
5th. That it should be constantly used

Corn Fodder.

1t will not be long before the corn har
vest will commence. The suffering that
resulted last year from n want of fodder
should be remembered and provided
against. The providence commences with
the grain harvest. Hay is not the only
source of food for stock. 1t is an impor-
tant question TO determine whether it
is not more profit to cut up the
corn before it is maturcd, than allow it
TO stand until frost shall have rendered
the stalks worthless as q forage crop
Corn if fairly glazed may be cut up with
out damage to the grain. But the foli-
age of corn once frosted is worthless,
nearly, for any such purpose. It is pro-
per to advise the husbandry of this inn
portant resource for food for stock. The
farmer who has a large stock of cattle
can not fail to appreciate the value of
this immense crop Of nutritious food
Make preparations early to secure it
Watch closely the progress Of the grain,
and as soon as glazed cut it up and set it
in stocks. 1t aOW pay to do SO, especial
iy if you have a large stock of cattle; if
not purchase enough TO cat the forage re-
sulting from your corn crop. 1t will
yield large amount of available manure,
which will be wasted and worthless if left
in the field exposed to the haps of winter.
Prepare beforehand to take care of the
corn fodder. Prairie Farmer.

FLYING MAcHINE.--The Mansfield
(Ohio) Herald is informed that gen.
tIeman residing near that city, Mr.. d. M.
Cook, we'll known as tho inventor of the
popular Sorgum Evaporator extensively
sold throughout tho West, is now enga-
ged in the construction of flying ma
chine. Mr.. G. is quite sanguine of
success. We are ignorant of the details
on which his air-ship is to be built, but
we understand that, while balloon is to
be used for elevation, steam is TO be the
motive. The inventor is quite sanguine
that he has discovered the proper machin.
cry whereby the air may be navigated
at will. He has built, or is about Ia
build, house for the purpose of contain
ing his labor without being annoyed by

What's up, thought we, and were all

unaccountable.

you will conduct yourselves with deco

"Yes, sir"-"agreed"-"I vi, sir p'
and various other expressions of acquies-
cence came from every quarter of the
room, and as preface to the new state
of things the school was dismissed at an
early hour, leaving the boys to gaze into
each others eyes in astonishment, as if to
divine in each others intuition the answer
of the riddle which had stolen upon them
like pleasant dream.
An anxious week folowed-a week of
curiosity, bewiderment, hope and pleas
ure in embryo. Out of the school it was
all the talk" what no man ever saw,
and what no man shall ever see AGAIN.

cal named one dawned upon the glad

Nine o'clock came-ovory urchin was

Of darkness and ignorance-every task
fully committed to memory. Altogether
a charming state of affairs! An active
mind, not welded too closely to orthodox
ideas, would have OWNED at once the
great advantage of rewards and kindness
over oppression and cruelty. But our old
tutor was in,incible. Unmake him I?
Never. You could not alter his plans an
iota. "Tingle! tingle.' sounded the little
bell--that bell had voice as well as a
tongue. Boys all attention eyes, ears,
mouths agape! momentous epoch!
Old Haskins raised the lid of his desk,
and drew the wonderful thing forth-ad-
justed his ominous-looking spectacles
straddle his nasal projection, and pro-
ceeded to the solemn ceremony.
Attention SCHOOL, roared the tutor.
A single order was all that was neces-
sary-you might have heard a pin drop.
"The hour has at length arrived; be-
hold in my upraised fingers single al

mond is kernel'-ceremoniously breaks

"This no man ever saw!" Then opening
his capacious jaws, exposing an internal
array of decaying ivory and raw flesh,
that reminded us of the mouth of n Bengal
tiger, he thrust in the mysterious kernel

"Boys," exclaimed he with emphasis,
"boys, you will never-I will never-no
man will ever see that kernal again To

GENERAL PUTNAM,

Among the worthless who figured du-
ring the era of American Revolution, per.
haps there was none possessing more orig.
inallty of character than General Putnam,
who was eccentric and fearless, blunt in
his manners-the daring soldier without
the polish of the gentleman. He might
well be called the Marion of the North,
though he disliked disguise, probably from
the fact of his lisping, which was very apt
to overthrow any trickery he might have
in view.
AT the time n stronghold called Horse
neck, some miles above New York, was
in possession of the British, Putnam,
with few sturdy patriots, was lurking
in its vicinity, bent on driving them from
the place. Tired of lying in ambush, the
men became impatient, and importuned
the General with questions as TO when
they were going to have bout with the
foe. One morning he made speech
something to the following effect, which
convinced them that something was in the
wind:
Fellers-You have been idle too long,
and so have /. Pm going down to Bush's
at Horseneck in an hour, with m OK team
and load of corn. If / come back, I'll
let You know all the particulars; if
should not, let 'em have it, by the hokey ~
lie shortly afterwards mounted his OK
cart, dressed as one of the commonest Or
der of Yankee farmers, and was soon at
Bush's tavern, which was in possession of
the British troops. No sooner did the Of
ficers espy him than they began to ques-
tion him respecting his whereabouts, and
finding him, as they thought, complete
simpleton, they began to quiz him, and
threatened TO seize his corn and fodder
"How much do you ask for your
whole consarn?' they inquired.
"For mercy's sake, gentlemen" replied
The mock clod-hopper, with the most de-
plorable look of entreaty, "only let me
of, and You shall have my hull team and
load for nothingl And if that wont dew,
I'll give you my word I'll return to-mor-
row, and pay you heartily for your kind
ness ana cOnueScenSlOn.
"Well," said they, swell take you at
your word. Leave the team and proven
der with us, and we won't require any
bail for your appearance"
Putnam gave up the team, and saun-
tered about for an hour or two, gaining
all the information that he wished. He
then returned to his men, and told them
of the disposition Of the foe and his plan
of attack.
Tho morning camo and with il sailed
out the gallant band. The British were
handled with rough hands, and when they
surrendered to Gen. Putnam, the clod-
hopper, he sarcastically remarked, " Gen
tlemen, l have only kept my word. ] told
you | would call and pay you for your
kindness and condescension."

THE ADVANTAGES OF MARRIAGE.

The following is a spicy quotation from
Michelets new book, EAmour," The
bold author states that marriage delivers
one
From the servitude of your base pas
sions: If home is happy one you will
not 90 under the smoky lamps of ball
garden in quest of love, nor to the street
for intoxication.
The seryitude of weakness: You will
not drag yourself feebly along, like your
pitiful comrade-that young old man, so
pale, debascd, and broken down, whom
the women ridiculc. True love will re-
store you from this, and concentrate your
strength.
The servitude of melancholy: He who
is strong and does a mans work-he who
in going out TO his daily toll leaves at
home a beloved creature who loves and
thinks of him alone, is by that very fact
inspired with cheerfulness, and he is hap
py all the day.
The servitude of money: Receive for
truth this exact mathematical maxim:
Two persons spend less than one.
l see many bachelors who remain such
from sheer fright at the expensiveness of
matrimony, and yet spend infinitely more
than a married man aferall. They live ve-
ry dearly at the cafes and restaurants, and
at the theatres. Havana cigars, smoked
all day, are to their solitude an extrava-
giant necessity.
Why do they smoke! "To forget they
say" Nothing can be more disastrous.
We should aever forget. Woe to him
who forgets evils, for he never seeks their
antidotes. The man, the citizen who for
gets, ruins not only himself but his coun-
try. A blessed thing it is to have by
your hearth-stone a reliable and loving
woman, TO whom you can open your heart,
with whom you can suffer. She will pre-
vent you from either dreaming or forget
ting. We must all suffer, and think
In that is the true life of man.
Some men call themselves bachelors.
But are they really so! l have long
sought, but have not yet found, that
mythical being have discovered that
everybody is married; some by Temporal
ry marriage only, it is true-secret and
shameful these, lasting sometimes for
months, sometimes for q week, and often
only for an hour. These marriages of
hourly duration, which are the utter deg
radiation of the woman, are not at less cost
to man. II is easier to feed whale than
q Dame aur CdmeliaS.
If wife has no female friends whose
rivalry incites her to extravaganza in dress,
she spends almost nothing. She reduces
all your expenses to such degree that
the formula given above is no longer cor
rect. We must not say "two persons"
but "toHr persons spend less than one"
She supports the two children besides.

THE CINCINNATI GRAPE CRoP.-In
the month of June, the vines in the vi
cinity of Cincinnati gave evidence Of pro-
ducing the largest grape crop ever gath
cred there, but towards the latter part Of
the month, rot or mildew made its APP
pearance, and good deal of alarm was
manifested. About one-tenth of the
grapes, il is estimated, was destroyed, but
with the dry warm weather of July the
rot disappeared, and it is stated by ex-
perienced men that the crop now on the
vines, and which look wonderfully well,
is as large as ever known. A gentleman
thoroughly conversant with the cultiya-
ton of the grape estimates the money
value of the crop of Hamilton county
this year at million of dollars.

Irishman, late from Erin's fair turf while
at work on stone quarry, near this city,
found q skunk under q fiat stone which

companion 10 hold the stone while he got
the kitten, as he called it, out, and not
kill tho poor thing. Jamie came, held up
the stone, while Patrick got down on his
knees, reached his hand under, and pull
cd out the animal. Handling it q little
too rough for ordinary occasions, he all
of n sudden let go, sprang up, with one
hand to his nose, and sang out, " "Howly

A RAILROAD TRAIN ATTACKED BY A
BULL.-An accident of very singular
and serious nature occurred on the Allie
ghany Valley Railroad, on Wednesday
evening. 1t appears that, as the express
train was passing point near White
Rock station, about nine miles this side
of Kittauning, it was charged upon by a
bull belonging TO gentleman named
Klingensmith, residing in the neighbor-
hood, and said to be an animal of un-
usual strength and ferocity. In the col
lision which followed, his bovine majesty
was crushed almost TO jelly, and his de-
funct remains carried some distance along
the track. The affair, however, did not
stop here. The carcass proved an i'm
passable obstruction TO the train, and the
locomotive, tender, and four freight cars
were thrown off the track. The latter
went over an embankment some thirty
feet in height, and was reduced almost
TO q complete wreck. The passenger car,
the last in the train, remained on the
track, else the consequences would have
been far more serious. The locomotive
was good deal used up, and the track
damaged for some forty feet, bit, beyond
this, nothing serious resulted from the
strange occurrence.
