TnE Scottish system OF GROWING
CELERY.-Thc following quotation from a
late M ticle by Dir. Cuthiil, Of Camberwell.
ina contemporary, is worth the conSiiera-
ton ofthose who are limited for space
:" To grow 4 large number Of celery on a
small! piece Of ground, have, in the large
families | have lived in, always grown my
celery on tie Scotch system that is, ii
bed dug one spit or more deep, and bank
cd up "n either side five feet broad, then
six inches of rich manure spread on the
bed, trodden hard and dug in. Plant the
rows croSSways, six or eight plants in
the row; then for the next row, one foot
az fifteen inches from the last, and so on
The celery does not grow so large as in
single rowS, bat this plan has every other
advantage-cconomy of ground, water
ing. moulding with hoar'i on each side
vi the row, Writer covering, digging up in
severe fro>t>, etc look upon large
head nf celery as do upon blanch, d as
paraen>, long cncumberS, and the like,
they 60 t. the pigs"

WAS 1T TREASON "A day or two be.
fore the attack on Fort Sumptrr, and a! a
time when Mr.. Lincoln was in favor of
evacuating that fort, Mr.. Seward wrote
as follows:
." For these reasons he Qhe Presidency
would not be disposed to reject car'l.
mal doctrine of theirs (the rehel<) namely,
that the Federal Government could not
reduce the seeding States by conquest.
even alth ugh he were disposed to gurs-
ton that pro- osition. But in fact the
President willingly accepts it AS true.
Only an imperial or deSpoti government
coAId- SHejugate thoroughly di>nffrcted
and insurrectionary members Of the
State. This Federal Republican system
Of Government Of ours, Of all forms OF
Government, is the very one most untitled
for such labor.

CERTrFIc tTE.--The undersigned, DESTROYS OF ac-
quainting those who may be unfortunate enough to
be similarly afflicted, where a permanent relief Of
their suerings may be obtained feels il his duty to
thus pubCl express his most sincere gratitude to
Dr. L. J. Czlpkav Tor the permanent recovery Of his
health. Borne down by the distressing symptoms
incident to the vicious practices of uncomfortable
passion in youth depressed in body and mind, una
BILE to perform even the most trning duty imposed
the daily avocaonI of life, sought the advice
of many physicians, who at first regarded my disease
of trnng iIipurtancr--but, alas ! after Il few weeks
and in several instances. months, of their treatment
found to my unuttrablc horror that instead of re-
lief, the symptoms became alarming In their
torture and. being told by that my disease, be-
ing principally confined to the brain, medicine
would be of little consequence, deSplired of ever
rcgaining MY health, strength and energy and ms
last resort, and with but faint hope, called up IN
Dr.: To- t5aap. who, after examining my case, pre-
srribed some medicine which almost instantly reeY-
ed me of the dull pain and dizziness in my head
Encouraged by tins result, resolved to place myself
Immediately under his care and by strict obedience
to all his directions and advice my head became
clear, my ideas collected, the constant min in NV
back and groins the weakness of my limbs, the ner
reaction Of my whole body on the slightest

charges, have all diSappeared aud in fact, in two
months after having consulted the Doctor felt If
inspired by new life that life which, but short
time ago, contemplated to end by my own hand
With IL view to guard the unfortunate from falling
into the snares Of incompetent quacks, deem my
duty offer this testimony to the merit and skill of
DR.. Czankay. and recommend him 10 all who may
stand in need Of medical advice, being assured by
my experience, that once under his care rad
zeal and permanent cure will be effected.
