TINE FOR SOWING TURNIPs.-Some
facts are given by a correspondent of
the New England Farmer, showing that
late sown turnips succeed much better
than early sown. A quantity of ruta
baga, and other turnip seed, was plant
ed the middle of June, on well prepared
ground, n d carefully tended. They
did well for five or six weeks, but then
turned yellow, and began to rot at the
heart-the crop proving failure
Some of the same seed were sown a
month later-leit INTENDED for six weeks
and then hoed, n d lightly dressed
with guano. The crop turned out a re-
markedly fine one.

10000 DOLLARS REWARD

1T is estimated that 900 persons die annu-
l. ally in the United States, with consumption,
and Professor Eberly says, that a vast number
of these could be saved by the timely use of
some proper remedy.
DIR. HALLS BALSAM strikes at the root of
the disease AT ONCE, and such is its speedy eff
feet that any one using it freely, according to
directions, for twenty four or forty eight hours,
and not entirely satisfied with its merits may re-
turn ii and receive back his money. The most
distressing cough is frequently relieved by
single dose and broken up in few hours time.
The afflicted do not have TO take bottle after bot
tic before they find whether this remedy will
afford relief or not.

1t has effected cures in numerous cases, where
the most skilltul physicians in this country and
in Europe have been employed, and have exer-
cised their skill in vain. Cases which they pro-
nounced iRcurdbte, and surrendered as hopeless
beyond doubt, leaving the patients without a
single ray to enliven them in their gloom, have
been cured by DIR. HALLS BAL>AM,
and the victims of consumption" are now Wig
orous and strong as the most robust amongus
And these cases are not isolated ones they are
numerous, and can be pointed out in every COM
munity, where this most unrivaled remedy has
been tested.
BE slow, then, to believe the oft repeated story
about the lungs being gone; or rather let no
such apprehension induce you to give up. act
upon the principle that i0hiLe there is life there is
hope. You can NEVER BE so Low that you may
not trust, humanity speaking, in HALLS BAL
SAM. More than one, nay hundreds has it
brought almost from death to life, when all else
had failed. Give, then, this powerful but harm
less remedy a trial.
The public have been imposed upon by rene
dies recommended by certificates which have
always originated from some unknown source
We believe that medicine possessing real mer-
its will effect cures wherever it is used, at home
as well as abroad. This is no paregoric prepar-
alton, but one which, if used in season, will save
the lives of thousands.

almost impossible to choose another President

lands ceded the Government, he says, are prob

The lands lie between the 31th and 4lst degrees
Of North latitude. NicOlay IS now on his way to

been received at the Indian Bureau from the
Omaha superintendency, stating that many OF
the Poncss and Winebagoes had arrived there
begging for food. The Indians from the North

are working their way down the Missouri River,
and 1t is added unless some action be taken, they
will be scattered all along the river, greatly TO

It's believed the rebels have not pushed any

since their grand retreat. Small bodies, how

are circumscnbed to these positions by the
proximity Of oUr forces.
The enemy's cavalry scout the neck as far as

ANoTHER BIC HAUL BY THE POLICE
FoUR HUEDRED DOLLARS Worth OF STOLEN
PROPERTY REcovERED.-Another depot for
stolen goods was yesterday discovered and
broken up by our police force. The house Of
Bridget Gleason, on Superior street extern
sion, was yesterday visited and found to be
a perfect stOre-roOm Of stolen property, ap-
parently the accumulated products Of at
least two or three years Of successful and un-
discovered thieving. Among the "spoiIs," !"
which filed half-a-dosen trunks to overflow
ing, were every description, style and kind
Of apparel, especially feminine, dresses, man
tiIlas, cloaks, under-cIothing, bed-clothes,
feather beds, quilts, towels, hose, scarfs,
shawls, parasols, &c, &c.,-a sort of omniun
gathsrum of all sorts Of domestic srticler.
But very few Of these things appear to have
been taken from stores, the greater part
being stolen from private persons, taken
from cIOthss-linss, picked up in dorr-yards,
&C., &c. Some few articles were, however,
taken from our merchants. The worth of
the things picked up by the police must be
more than $4OO. Beside this, the woman
has sold $50 worth Of goods IN one quarter,
and $27 in another, which will be recovered
to-day.
Among the many and various articles found
in this wOman's possession were eighteen silk
dresses, six Of which were identified and
claimed by Henry Blair. Others were iden-
tilted by C. 8, Ransom. A splendid silk
dress, partly made up, is supposed to be the
property Of Mrs. Henry G. Abbey. J. @.
Grannis, ESQ.,, Is so fortunate as to recover a
bsby-wagon, which be identifies as his Owp.
Many other articles have been claimed by
their respective owners.
1t is requested that all persons, who have
lost household goods or clothing of any de-
scriTtiOn, call TO- day at the Police Station
and examine this property.
