Chicken-Proof Garden Fence.

Mr.. Ep1ToR:-I am a lover of Chickens,
and we raise large number every year.
Bat am also fond of having good garden.
To secure both. however, have found it
heretofore difficult matter, But | have
lately constructed fence around my garden
that presents such perfect barrier against
chickens, dogs and rabbits, that am Undue.
ed 10 send you description of it for the
benefit of those thousands of families in the
West and South who take your paper My
fence is made of boards sixteen feet long,
nailed to stout posts. The boards next to
the ground | had sawed ten inches wide;
and the two upper boards six inches. Com
sequently each pannel was composed of five
boards. the edge of the lower board resting
on the ground. The space over the lower
plank was left one and half inches wide;
over the second board three inches; and over
the fourth board, five inches. now took a
plank of one inch thickness and sawed out
strips one inch wide and one foot long -
These strips were nailed against the sides of
he fence-where the tops of the posts were,
eight feet apart; and in such way that the
strips projected six inches above the fence.
THROUGH each one of these, near the top, !
bored small gimIet hole. A quantity of
wire, the size Of large knitting needle, and
sufficient to reach once around my acre
garden, had previously been purchased in
Cincinnati, costing me eighteen cents. This
was now taken and run through the gimlet
holes, and stretched as tight rs it could be.
The ends of the wire were fastened in such
a way as to cause ringing whenever any.

1ss-The question is often aske why is it
that DR. J. c. Young is so successful, while other
advertising Physicians are falling from day to
dny?r The answer must be or should be, plainly
apparcnt to all: it is. that he understands his
profession. and attends to II; and as his practice
increases, his knowledge extends. So close has
been his application to his unprecedented prtc-
tice. that he is perfect master OF his profession
and can insure all relief from their trouble and
while others are daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they were never fitted to be delivered
his course is onward and upward. placing him at
the head OF his arduous profession. SO great has
been his increase of business that he has been
obliged to associate himself with two other physi
clans both of extended knowledge and practice.
We would advise all afflicted to call upon him in
preference 10 any other Physician. We are in
formed that he treats entirely on the vegetable
system. and will always warrant perfect cure.
His Office is 15l Clay street, opposite the upper
corner Of the Plaza.

CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY AND SEMI
NAL WEAKNESS.


DR YOUNG addresses those who have injured
~ themselves by improper n9ulgences in that
secret and solitary habit which ruins the body
and the mind uniting them for either business
and society. The following are some of the sad
and melancholy effects produced by early habits
of youth. viz Weakness Of the back and limbs.
pain in the head dimness Of sight. loss OF musca-
lar power, paptsaion of the heart, dyspepsia,
nervousness, irrtability, arrangement OF the dl-
geStive functions. general debility, symptoms OF
consumption. &c.
MENTALLY.-Thc fearful effects upon the mind
are more to be dreaded. Loss of memory, con
fusion of ideas, depression of spirits, evil fore
boding aversion Of society. sclt-distlust love OF
solitude. etc. are most of the evils produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any Of the
above symptoms should not fail TO call on DR..
Young. and be at once restored to perfect health.
Let no false delicacy prevent you but apply I'M
mcdiately, and save yourself from the dreadful
and awful consequences of this terrible malady.

The OLD CONFERENCE.-THE following rem
iniscence occurs in letter written from
Washington by d. L. Child in 1913, and pub
lished at that time:
As the cry of treason" was raised last win
ter, and the illustrious representative of old
Plymouth put upon trial for presenting PEE
tltion In favor of peaceful dissolution of the
Union, when the principal rights, which the
Union was intended to be a means of main
tanning, are trampled down, it may be inter
estlng to know that the ratification of Jaw,
treaty by George Washington, was the first
occasion, not of constitutional petition, but
of a notification threat to dissolve the Union.
The following was published in Richmond.
Va, newspaper of that day:
"Aotice Is hereby gigen,
That in case the treaty entered into by that
id arch traitor in J-y, with the British
tyrant, shall be ratified, petition will be pre-
scented to the next general Assembly Of Virgin
ia, praying that the said state may yecede
from tie Union, and be left under the govern
ment and protection Of one huRi1od thousand
free and BdepeRdem VirginiaaS."

A writer in the Richmond Enquirer assigns
as reason for expecting an early peace that
''the bitterness and animosity between the
northern political parties is daily increasing
in intensity" He declares that ''this state of
things alone, without conflict, must obstruct
seriously, if not absolutely defeat, an efficient
prosecution of the war" Can there be any
doubt as to the truth of this statement? Can
we afford, after the bitter experience of the
past eighteen months, to raise false and dis
tracing issues? There is no Disgusting the
fact. The safety of the country is the para
mount question of the hour That safety can
be secured only by a prompt, hearty, uncon-
ditional support of the government 1t is in
no partizan sense, that men are urged to rally
around the legal head of the nation. 1t is,
because, he holds in his hands the destnies
of the republic. He is the accredited agent
of the people to crush out treason, and in
prosecuting the work of the people, he relies
upon them for support and encouragement.
1t is the part of patriotism to strengthen
his hands, Cheerfuly and lavishly, in his hon
est efforts for the preservation of the Union.
Above all, let there be no aid or comfort ex-
tended to the enemy by the formation of fac
tions-the sole purpose of which is to sow
discussions. Let it never be said that the
peril of the republic was enhanced by political
contentious and partizan disagreements.

" JORGE S T f +
WEDNESDAY, OCT. sa, 1859.



We publish this morning Gov. Andrews
letter accepting his nomination forre-elcction.
1t is something more than letter OF form,
giving the writer's views at some length upon
subjects foremost in public attention. 1t IS
such a letter as thoroughly loyal and ear
nest governor, devoted heart and soul to the
suppression of the rebellion, and to the de-
liverance of the country out of the hands of
its enemies, ought to have written. This is
probably the only public expression of his SEN
timents he will see fit to make before the cleo
ton; and it is enough. There is nothing in
the letter which it will not be honorable for
Massachusetts to endorse eartily-nothing,
indeed, the spirit of which she has not often
before endorsed. Upon this letter, and upon
his record, he can appeal to his constituents
with assured confidence OF their renewed APP
probation.
istration have made an issue against it which
must now be tried. The unconditional sup
porters of the government in Massachusetts
cannot afford to be placed in a false position
They have in the present executive and his
associates, not only the political representa-,
tiyes of the national administration, but a
state government in entire harmony there
with; strong, patriotic, efficient, and every
way above reproach. Honest patriotism,
looking first of all to the welfare of the coun-
try, and to strengthening the hands OF the
government, would require that they should
be sustained by the united voice of the COM
monwealth, while they remain faithful serv-
ants, or while the war lasts The fact that
portion of our fellow citizens, without a decent
provocation, have chosen to organize cam
paign against them, makes it the more incum-
bent republicans to see that they are support
ed, if not according to their full merit at least
with such an expression as will show that the
state does not waver from the true faith they
represent.
We trust, therefore, that no honorable
means will be neglected to secure such re-
suit The relative republican vote will ma
terially be reduced by the large numbers who
are in the service of the country. But let not
those who remain at home forget, either
through Indifference or any other cause, that
the country also demands service of them,
which they can render most effectively by
most cheerfully supporting the administra-
tons which have till now honorably borne the
burdens of the war.
