a change. Suppose he raise on ten acres
of land 100 bushels and ON another ten acre
field 200 bushels he sells his white for SI2O
and the red, at ten cents less per bushel. for
S220. He is thus the gamer of 500 of the
red over the white on 90 acres. By the same
rule. on putting 60 acres out, he will gain
$500. Every intelligent farmer should see
the propriety of changing his seed not only
OF wheat. but of all the staple articles raised
on his farm. Some will say this is great
trouble and expense for them to 90 to a for
eIgn country for a change of seeds. This is
not necessary. Go twenty, thirty or fifty
miles into neighboring county, and you get
as good seeds as you would in going thou
sand miles off. know a small fertile valley
in Blair county on which have seen as fine
wheat grow as ever mans eye beheld, and
will produce from 25 to 80 bushels to the
acre. Change your seed, farmers, and nv
word for it you will be amply repaid for your
trouble. LOGAN.

PROGRESS IMPOSSIBLE.

The Goal Reached at q B0uRd-We call
this the age Of progress. 1t is so. But in
some departments Of science discoveries have
been made, and practical systems introduced,
which le2re nothing to be desired ia the way
Of improvement, and which, in fact, pre-
clude progress by giving us perfection at the
outset. For example when Profe sor HOll0
way, some twenty FIVE years ago, gave to the
world his inestimable remedies. he seems to
have left nothing even for himself to achieve,
in the treatment Of human maladies. The
progress of the demand for his Pills and Oint
meut has, indeed, been unparalleled in the
history Of medicine; bat he has found no
reason to alter single ingredient or vary
proportion. We therefore class the sover
eign antidotes for external and internal dis
eases with which tiat distinguished medical
reformer blessed the world, among the inven-
tons which are perfected ut their birth.
Our method Of arriving AT a correct appre.
citation of the respective merits Of opposing
systems, is by comparison. Now, we have
seen a great deal Of what is called regular
practice, and do not hesitate to say that it
fails more frequently than it succeeds. This
is not the case with Holloway's Pills and
Ointment In many instances-some of
which should be specified if space permitted
we have seen these remedies effect COM
plete ard permanent cures, when eminent
members of the faculty had exhausted their
repertoires without finding anything that
would even aHeriate the agonies of their pa
tients. Testimony confrmatory of our own
observations on the subject is continually
pouring IN from all parts of the Union, aud
we cannot refuse credenee alike to our own
Senses the common sense of the public, and
the almost universal opinion of our brethren
Of the press.
The case as between the Faculty and Pro
fessor Holloway seems to stand thus: The
faculty have the prestige Of antiquity, au-
thority and usage.
Holloway, on the other hand, is not man
of mouldy maxims. Small respect has he
for Galen and CANNON. He cites no author
tiles, save living witnesses and contemporary
facts. A few pages suffice to develope his
system and embrace his simple directions
He denounces mercury and all corrosive poi
sons, and does not believe that life can be
saved by draining its fountains. Above all,
he furnishes the whole civilized, aud no
small portion of the semi barbarian and say

FROM EUROPE.

By the arrival of the Fulton and Etna from
Europe, we are enabled to present very full
details Of the foreign news. Among other
things is a high tempered article from the
London Times in regard to the vexatous San
Juan question. The Times takes the ground,
after warmly eulogizing our military men,
that General Harvey is an exception to the
general run of American officers. As, how
ever, General Ilarney has been placed in
command at Nancouver's Island, where he
has undone, or at least has tried to undo,
General Scott's Pacific arrangement, which
placed everything upon an amieabIe footing,
until the details could be properly shaped by
diplomacy, and as General IIarneys actions
have not been disayowed by the Government
at Washington, it is with him and his action
that the Times deals, and is unwilling to sub
NIT any longer to what it calls insults to ma
tinnai honor. The article will create quite a
sensati n, on account Of its warlike tone
The Slcilian resolution is still progressing
Garabaldi, strengthened by large reinforce
ments, is preparing to march on Messina,
while at the same time we have confirmation
of the statement that Francis ii has offered
liberal Constitution to the Neapolitans and
is ready to form an alliance" with Pied
mont. There was report in Paris, at last
dates that the Neapolitan Government had
restored the captured American steamers,

cided stand taken by our minister there If

TnESE Cans and Jars being perfectly sim

no cement or solder to make them air tight,
are the most reliable and convenient vessels
that are in the market for preserving Fruits

They possess the following advantages over
all other Cans and Jars that are in the maj.

FIRsT-All that is required after the fruit
has been put in hot, is simply to screw the

Of adjustment and the impossbllity of step

fruit is going to spoil, but will always show
itself in time to be saved.
