able to ornament stand or table with
bulbs, you may use any deep vessel, such
as salad bowl or tureen, and fill it up
Two or three inches with sand, and all the
rest of it with fine green moss. Hyacinths
for this purpose, should be selected to
grow the same height. La Mu de Ceur.

Place them alternately close to the edge,
und get any early white for the centre, but
according to the size Of The vessel select
your bulbs. Water freely, for they must
not dry. When the roots reach the sand
they will grow strong; hnt they will
do without sand if well supplied with
water.

Nails. Nuts, Screws and Bolts.

One Of the component parts oil good
farmer is mechanical ingenuity. Some
lose half days time, for want of know
ing how to repair b:cakage, which an
4 ingenious person could do in FIVE minutes
A team and Two or three men are some
times stopped whole day, at a critical
season, for want OF little mechanical
skill.
1t is well for every farmer TO have n.
hand the facilities for repairing. In addi-
ZION to the more common tools. he should
keep supply Of nails of different sizes,
screws. bolts and nuts. Common cut
nails are too brittle for repairing imple-
ments, or for other similar purposes -
Buy only the very best and anneal them.
and they will answer all the ordinary pur-
poses of the best wrought nails To an
neal them, all that is necessary is to hea,
them red hot in a common fire, and cool
gradually. Let them cool, for instance,
by remaining in the fire while i. burns down
and goes out. One such nail, well
clinched, will be worth half & dozen ur-
unnealed.
Notning IS more common than tor a
farmer TO visit the blacksmith shop 10 get
broken or lost bolt or rivet Inserted, and
often single nut on bolt. This must
be paid for, and much time is lost. By
providing n supply Of bolts, nnts and riy-
cts much trouble may be saved. They
may be purchased wholesale at low
rate.
These should al be KEEP. in shallow
boxes, with compartments made for the
purpose, furnished with bow-handIe for
convenience in carrying them. One box,
with half u dozen divisions, may be APP
propriated to nails of different sizes; and
another, with as mary compartments, to
screws, bolts, rivets, etc.
Every farmer should keep on hand a
supply Of copper wire, and small pieces
OF sheet copper or copper straps. Cop
per wire is better than annealed iron wire;
ii is almost as flexible as ;wine, and may
be bent and twisted as desired; and il
vii! n"trns'. Copper straps nailed across
or around a fracture or split in eny wood
gu article, will strengthen 1t IN n thorough

FEED A LITTLE GRAIH.--lt is good
policy - feed a little grain daily with the
hay, to all stock. At present prices it is
as cheap, and TO the farmer it is both a
gain in the condition of his animals, as
we'll as in the quality of the manure made
therefrom. sprinkling the hay with a
little salt water, once or twice week
oftentimes causes the animals to eat it
more readily.

HORSE AND CATTLE POWDERS.

HORSE AND CATTLE POWDERS,
AS they are superior TO any other now in use.
GIVE THEM A TRIAL!
Give Your Horses sTONESRAKER'S
HORSE AND CATTLE POWDERS,
If you want fine and healthy Horses and you
are sure to have them.
A safe, sure and speedy cure for Coughs, Colds,
Distempers, Heaves, Hide bound, Worms,
Bots, Scurvy, &C., in Horses, Loss of
CGd, Black Tongue, ETC., in Cattle.
Np Y the use of these POWDERS the appetite
ED of the Horse is improved, all arrangements
Of the Digestive Organs are corrected, and the
slnggishncss OF the animal disappears, he becom-
ing lively and spirited. II softens the skin,
giving tie hair d sleek or shining appearance.
The great superiority Of these powders over all
others, arises fio,n the fact that they are COM
pounded oGugdicines that haze laxity, tonic and
purifying properties. Tile laxative removes all
impurities from the stomach and bowels, the tonic
adds new toneand vigor to the syst M OF tie horse
by which the appetite is wonderfully improved
and the purifying medicines contained in them
cleanse the blood from all impure matter, and
gives healthy and vigorous circulation. They
s-lso improve the wind, and are Il sure preventive
of lung fever, yellow water, founder, loss of ap-
petite, and many other diseases incident to the
horse.
1t is also invaluable az condition powder for
Cows, increasing the flow OF milk and prevent
ing disease. AL persons owning cows should ask
for STONEBRAKER'S HORSE and CATTLE
POWDERS, as it is very important through the
winter that they should be used 10 improve the
condition of The COW. They have no equal in
fattening cattle as they give them an appetite,
and loosen their hide, by which they thrive much
faster.
These Powders are n sure preventative OF HOG
CHOLERA, and are particularly adapted to the
diseases 10 which hogs are SO liable, such as
coughs, ulcers Of the lungs and liver, causing
them to improve much faster. They should be
used in the beginning to fatten hogs ns much
feed will be saved. These powders will be
found much stronger than most powders now in
use, and at the same time the most powerful
tonic ever used for HORSES and CATTLE of any
kind. All persons are particularly invited to try
these powders knowing they will continue to
use them.
Sold in every town and country store, and by
all respectable Druggists.

FROM NEW YORK.
Financial.

| New YORK, June 6.-The Commercials
money article says: The stock market is
| quiet but firm. The speculative interest is
confined to New York Central, Erie, Read
ing and Northwestern. The latter stock is
being manipulated by strong clique. At
the board the price rose "a on the common
stock, closing at 3l35, the preferred closing
at 6l18. New York Central tirmeT under
the purchases OF shorts. After the board
| d per cent. was paid on borrowed stock.
lnis stock is very largely Oversold, but
it is supposed that the party most largely
| short has covered large portion of his con-
tracts. The miscellaneous list continues
dull.
Government securities are quiet but
| steady. 5-2O's are a fraction better under
the foreign news. The issue of 1862 sold at
| 1925 at the board, and after the board 1921
was bid. Private dispatches reports pos aC
| the close of Saturday at 6525, Erie 4234, IL
| linOis Central 763I; and also state that no
further failures bad occurred. This intel
| ligence is accepted here as Indicating that
| affairs had reached their lowest point OF a
premium, and that's steady recovery may
be anticipated henceforward.
The effect of the news has been unfavor-
able on the bulls in gold. Soon after open
ing the gold room the price jumped up to
ltt/B' Dub ltll, uIluGI JuC AlIICd 3 luJtlll-
genCe, to ll4.
The total amount of specie shipments
from here and Boston to-day was So
| 675000.
There is rather more demand for money
from the street, but the supply seeking
borrowers is large and call loans are made
chiefly at per cent, with exceptions at
per cent. Discounts continue moderately
active. Commercial paper is regarded as a
good investment at 6 to per cent, and it is
taken at those sales freely, in preference to
lending on call at per cent.
Foreign exchange is nominal. The indi-
cations are uncertain as to the demand for
sight bills tor the next steamer, but thus
far there appears to be more inquiry for 60
days bills.
New YORK, June 6.-SiX new cases and
five deaths from cholera are reported.
New YORK, June G.-rhe steamer Moro

New YORK, June G.-The Tribune's Rich
mOnd dispatch says the President has eX-
pressed confidence in the jury of Virginia
gentlemen, even on the question of treason.
The President has also expressed his dis
belief in the charge of assassination brought
against Davis, if not that of killing prison.

FROM RICHMOND,
Trial of .Jeh: Davis Postponed 10
October.

RICHMOND, Va, June 6.-There was quite
a large attendance in the Court room to-
day. Messrs. Reed, Brady and Brown,
counsel for Davis, were present. Mr.. Hen
messy, Assistant District Attorney, moved
the pOstpOnement of the trial of Jefferson
Davis till the first Tuesday of October,
which motion was granted by Judge Un-
derwood. The Court adjourned to that day.
Among the reasons given by Mr.. Hem
messy for making his motion to postpone
the trial of Jefferson Davis to-day, were: /:
Mr.. Davis is not now, and never was, in the
custody of this Court, but is held by the
United States Government as a State pris-
Oner; and if he were in the custody of this
Court, the Attorney General could not now
come here and try the case, and Mr.. Davis
is in delicate health, and it would be a cru
city, in this. hot and unhealthy season, to
subject him to a protracted trial.
Mr. Brady, one of the counsel for Mr..
Davis, said the reason his client was not in
custody of this court was, that no copy of
the indictment had been served upon him,
nor any list of witnesses, nor other act done
required by the statute. Still he was anX-
ious for speedy trial. If it was hot here,
it was worse in Fortress Monroe.
Judge Underwood said Chief Justice
Chase, who was to preside on this trial, had
named the first Tuesday in October, when
it would be most convenient for him, and
the Attorney General had indicated that he
could not now give the case that attention
which its Importance demanded.
The Court was then adjourned till the
first Tuesday in October next.

Cuba. The sales were continued under ac-
tive demand, and larger amount disposed

could have reached Mr.. Van Dyke in time
