@ We are happy to say that the
dog-fennel crop bids fair to be an aver
age. Fears were entertained by many. q
month ago, that the country would be
set back several years in the propagation
Of this very excellent and ornamental
plant. Some of our horiculturists seem
ed apprehensivs, few weeks ago, that
there would be great scarcity of gymp-
son, the present season, in consequence Of
the drouth. The seed had lain 90 long
in the ground, that they were thought to
be eternally dried up; but the rain came
and soaked them, and the young plants
have sprung forth as if by magic, to
beautify and smellify the earth. Our
country is not destitute yet!

THE AUGUST ELECTIONS.
The August elections in the South and
Southwest will be very bitterly contested.
Nelson and Quarles Of Tennessee. Ander.
son and Moore Of Kentucky, and Winter
Davis and Morrison Harris Of Maryland.
and others. arc preparing for the coming
contest with great industry. Bets were
freely offered on the Avenue, this NOR
ming. that Bell and Everett would GER
tainly carry Kentucky. Tsnnesses. North
Carolina and Maryland.
CONFIDENCE OF THE REPUBLICANS.
The Republicans are no less sanguine.
They have many able and prudent men
in their organization. and have an sdsau-
tage in the fact that, although . purely
Northern party, there is no division in
their ranks. One Of them said to me-.
yesterday, Lincoln ought certainly to Be
elected. as the Douglas men prefer him
to Breckenridge and the Breckenridge men
prefer him to Douglas. He seems about
the second choice Of every body but the
Bell and Everett men.
PRYoR's CONVERSION.
The conversion Of the Hon. Roger A.
Pryor, member of Congress from the Pc
tersburg, Va. district, to the Breckenridge
party surprises everybody. He was quite
enthusiastic for Douglas, and was almost
constantly at his residence before the ses-
sion of the Baltimore Convention
Some interest is felt to see how Mr. Pry.
or will excuse his abandonment of Judge
Douglas.

PALUDAL M1AsM.-The Chemists have
long been laboring to detect this subtle
poison, and determine what it is. DR..
AVER, of Lowell, has at length succeed :
ed. He finds it to be an ETHEREAL exhal-
alton of vegetable decay, which is evolv-
ed only in the presence and by the assist
auce of water. It's absorption through
the lungs into the blood is the sole cause
Of the hillary arrangement which result
in the Intermittent Fevers, SO affecting
and so prevalent in our climate. An
antidote for this insidious venom, is one
of the great desiderata in medicine, and
the Doctor feels sure that he has found
one which not only neutra.izes but ex-
pels it completely from the system. Il
is put up in convenient form, called
j" AGuE CURE" and furnished cheaper
than other remedies for this complaint
which last fact is by no means an unim-
portant one in these times.-Democrat,

ted in perfecftng them. When the pods
have turned brown and begin to open,
each head should be cut off and hung
up to dry under cover, until they can be
rubbed out. Then pass the seed through
a fine sieve, to clean it, and keep it dry
The turnip fly, the tobacco fly, the
grub, and the tobacco worm, are the in
sects which modest the plants. A dress
ing Of charcoal or fine pulverized ma
nure are found effectual against the flies
Five or ten bushels of refuse salt, per
acre, scattered over the hills, will dispose
of the grubs, besides helping the tobac-
co in its young state. The great pest is
the tobacco worm, which is hatched on
the tobacco leaf, grows very rapidly,
and in few days arrives at maturity,
when it buries itself eight or ten inches
under ground. Here it undergoes a
change, and comes forth as sort Of but
terfy, called "Horn-b blowers" They
appear about the middle of May. They
deposite their eggs on the tobacco leaf,
laying myriads. not in clusters, but sep
arately, and seldom more than two Or four
eggs on leaf. In about fortnight the
egg produces little worm. SO small as to
be hardly perceptible. aud yet it eats a
hole in the leaf as though large needle
had punched if. In a few days it has
grown to be as large as mans finger.
It is constantly eating, and it is fact
that this little worm. never reaching over
two ounces in weight will eat and digest,
in fifteen days, from two to three pounds
of green tobacco. They must be destroy
ed when they appear, and a flock of tur-
keys will be of great assistance in the
work. There are two "gluts" Of these
worms, the first coming when the plants
are e-fourth grown, the second when
nearly ripe. The last must be killed by
hand.
Ashes, at the rate of 100 bushels to
the acre, are said TO be the best manure
for tobacco.

BUSINESS NOTICES.
Eg We want 10 call the attention of
our country readers to the fact, that our
village is now provided with what we
have long needed, namely. a well-pro-
vided furniture store. Messrs. KELLER
g. BuRpEE have been in the constant re-
ceipt of furniture of all kinds since they
opened here, and have now good and
well-made assortment of Chairs, Tables,
Bureaus. Washstands, Bedsteads, DC,
&c. They have also some very hand
some sofa lounges, with spring seats. and
patent spring. and other, MATTRESSES
Their furniture is of substantial charac-
ter, and is sold at very reasonable pri-
ces. They are practical workmen, and
are getting ready to manufacture every
thing in their line. This will be an adj
dition to our manufacturing interest, and
appeals to us for encouragement. We
hope it will be given.
About one month since, Messrs, KIN
sLEY 81 BowLEY commenced the founda-
ton of an addition to their store, and
now they have it entirely finished, and
besides have furnished their whole store
with new counters. shelves, and fixtures.
This shows most commendable energy,
and speaks volumes for the enterprise of
these gentlemen. They have now the
largest store in the village, as well as one
Of the handsomest and best appointed.
We hope to see them have an increase
Of business corresponding to their in
crease of facilities for doing it.
Mr.. ii. A. CLARK, formerly of Dewitt
Clinton County, has opened Grocery
Store. in Union Block, adjoining the
store of Messrs. KrNsLEY & BowLEY, and
has now well.assorted stock of Grocer
les, Fruits, Provisions, Boots and Shoes,
Crockery. &C., for sale, at competition
prices. Mr.. CLARK will be found a
courteous man TO deal with, and we be-
speak for him fair share of patronage
In these times, when gold pieces and
bank bills are almost as scarce as chick
en- teeth, or consistent Democ rats, it is
important to know where we can get an
article for the least money. Now so far as
pictures are concerned. we think it is be-
yond dispute that cheaper pictures can
be had of Dr.. TABOR than can be pro-
cured any where in the State. He sells
good pictures with cases. from 80 cents
upwards. AT these prices no resident of
this county has an excuse for not pos
sessing counterfeit likeness of him or
her self. The DR's pictures are durable
and can be taken in all weathers.
