and stated to him that was taking your mcdi-
cines, and after showing them to him, and hav-
ing tasted Of them, &C., he replied; "You can
take them it you like, they will do you no harm J."
He said "You know what told you last SUM

business to close up, do not put it Off" He said
to other friends that he ''coud see nc hope for
me, "and my friends and relations concluded my

When you first came to my room and made the
examination, you gave me but little encourage

Agrienltutal,
Stump Fuller.

The Country Gentleman has cut Of a
stump puller invented by Fl. nj. Rogers
of Kenosha, Wis, whose description will
give good idea of it, without the illustra-
ton: ....
81 bought two screw jacks, and had
stout log chain. These jacks have one
and one-half feet lift, working in cast-iron
pedestals. procured a stout beam eight
feet long, and about as heavy as two men
would want to carry, and two pieces of
plank for the jacks 10 stand on, together
with some blocks, &C., and all was ready.
/ placed the beam across the largest and
stoutest root of the stump, as think the
roots will allow, and resting on a piece of
plank. The chain is passed around the
root and the beam. One man at each
jerk will raise almost any stump to the
full lift of the screw which in majority
of cases is sufficient if not, place a stud
under each end of the beam, let down the
jacks and placing blocks under them give
the stnmp another lift Two men will
pull from thirty to fifty stumps day, and
the machine will cost fifteen to twenty
dollars, while the jacks are useful for
many purposes besides pulling stumps,
and would be saleable at any time
There is no patent on this puller.

DYsENTERy.-An old friend, says the
middleton Republican, handed the fol-
lowing simple recipe for the dysenIery,
for publication. 1t has been practiced in
his family for years, with uniform sue
Cess, even in the most alarming slagessof
the complaint: Take Indian corn, roast
ed and ground in the manner Of coffee
or coarse meal ground--and boil in n suf-
ficient quantity OF water TO produce q
strong liquid like coffee, and drink tea
cup full, warm, two or three times day.
One days practice, it is said, will ordi-
nariy effect cure. 1t is at least simple
and harmless.

PRUNING PEACH TREEs.-On this
subject the Editor of the Germantown
Telegraph writes "Much depends upon
the proper pruning of the peach tree. 1t
should be annually shortened-in to with
in an inch or two of the old wood, each
ones judgment being the rule. A tree
in good health will bear uniformly
throughout all its branches, and the leaves
be deep green color. The trees may
stand twelve to fifteen feet apart !; the
latter distance is perhaps, to be preferred.
For the first two years, melons, cucum-
bers, rutabagas, turnips, or any light
crop, can be raised upon the same ground
without injury to the trees.O

Docs AND BELL SHEEr.-An Indi
ana farmer says that number of sheep
wearing bells, in any flock, will keep
away dogs-he would allow ten bell
sheep to every hundred, or hundred and
fifty. When the sheep are alarmed, they
run together in compact body, in which
act all the bells are ringing at once, which
frightens the dog, or makes him think some
one is on his track-so he leaves without
taking mutton.

How TO CATCH SHEEp.-Neve
seiza sheep by the wool on the back ;
it is very hurtful to the animal, particular

animal is easiest held by placing one
hand under the lower jaw and the other
back of its ears, and slightly raising its
head.

WHAT "BRANDYn is MADE oF.-In a
case recently tried in Albany, N. Y, the
process of manufacturing liquor was
brought into court. A lot of French
brandies in the original cask, had been
seized for non payment of import duties.
In the course of the trial it was shown
that not only is French brandy manuiac-
tured in New York and elsewhere, ont of
'''cologne spirit (whatever that may beg
favored by oil of cognac and NEUTRAL"
but the cask in which the stuff is sent out
for sale are made in New York, in exact
imitation of the French casks, branded,
stained, ante-dated, labeled so perfectly
that even the experts are unable to de-
tect the counterfeit. In such demand
are these casks that five large establish
ments are constantly employed in making
them in New York and Williamsburg and
as many more doubtless elsewhere.
