AN INVALUABLE SPRING MEDICINE
DR.. ]. W. Poland's Humor Doctor.

This excellent medicinal compound was first pre-
pared by DR.. p in 1S47. and was then employed with
great success in expelling humors from the blood !:
bntin 1s4S, medical friend, who was quite celebrat,
ed as physician, especially in the treatment of hu-
mors, suggested some important improvements,
which were adopted and which have made it $50 the
people say the very test emedy for all kinds OF u-
mors known to 'sthe faculty." This preparation ia
composed wholly OF vegetables, among which are
Sarsaparilla. Yellow Dock, Burdock, Noble Pine,
Mandrake, SIENNA and Bloodroot. Suffice it to say
the "Doctor" is used in hundreds of families as n
general edicine. Unlike many other popular rem
edes is very grateful to the taste. Large size bot

Patent Bronze Metal Sheathing
MANUFACTURED BY THE
NesU Bedford Conner. Co.

/ n the manufacture of Yellow Metal Sheathing, it
has been the universal practice hitherto, IL still
Is with other manufacturers. to immense the Sheets
after all rolling is done, in acid BATH The effect
sought and obtained by this process is to give the
metal the fine yellow color to which it owes its dis
tnctive name.
But this effect is, of necessity attended by results
injurious to the metal Tho hard and highly polish
ed surface, formed the sheets by successive heat
ing and cooling and the action OF the rolls, is
moved, and surface left in its stead-bright, indeed
but rough, pmped and unequally corroded, and con-
siderably softer han the surface removed.
No onescan doubt that any given sheet Of sheath
ing metal must be better with hard, smooth sur
face than with softer and rougher surface.
This Improvement in the art Of sheathng ships has
been ecured by Letters Patent OF the United States
to the New Bedford Copper Company.
The composition of this metal is exactly the same
as that OF the yellow Muntz metal the sole differ
ence being in the surface finish. 1t is believed that
this is very important and will add months to the
wear of the metal.
The Bronze Metal is sold at the same price as Yell
low Metal.

ly made his resolve. He carefully
disrobed himself of his valuable
whites, and placed them in safety
on the fence, while lie gave chase
with unscreened pedals, through
the wet grass, after his horse. Re
turning to the fence, where he had
safely suspended his lily-white un-
mentionables, oh! miraJle dieM!
what a sight met his eyes! The field
into which his horse had turned
was not only horse pasture, but
calf pasture too; and the naughty
calves, attracted by the white flag
on the fence, had betaken them
selves to it, and, calf-like, had eaten
them up! Only few well chewed
fragments of this once valuable
portion of the wardrobe remained
only a few threads-just sufficient
to indicate what they once had
been. What pickle was this for
a nice young man to be in!
1t was now daylight, and the
farmers were up, and our hero far
from home, with no covering for
his travelling apparatus 1t would
not do TO 60 back to the house Of
his lady-lovc, neither to 90 to town,
in that plight. There was only one
resource left to him; that was to
secrete himself in the bushes; and
it may be imagined that his feelings
toward the calf kind were not Of
the most friendly character in con-
sequence. But ere long his seclu-
sion was destined to be intrudcd
upon. By-and-by the boys who
had been out to feed the calves, re-
turned with the remnent5 Of the
identical white garments which had
adorned the lower limbs of their
late visitor! They were mangled

Immediately held overthem, Some
awful fate had befallen the man.
The neighborS were summoned to
search for the manglcd corpse, and
the posse, with dogs and arms, set
out with all speed. The pasture was
throughly secured and then the
adjacent thickets, when, 10! our
hero was driven from his lair by the
keen scent Of the dogs all safe and
sound, minus thclinen!
An explanation than ensued, at
the expense of our hero. But he
was successful in the end, and
married the lady, and is now living
comfortably in one OF the flourish

JEFF. DAVIS SILVER PLATE.-Re-
Gently a coffee or tea set, formerly
used by jeff. Davis, and sold at auc-
ton with a quantity Of plate, just
previous to the evacuation of the
city by the rebels, was presented
to President Johnson by a gentle
man Of Richmond, who purchased
the article at the auction sale. The
coffee or tea set in question is a
perfect miniature or a facsimile of
a railroad locomotive, with tender
attached. The locomotive boiler
receives the coffee or tea, makes
and discharges it through a spiggot
steam whistle indicating when
the coffee or tea is ready.
The boiler Of the locomotive is
of porcelain, and the figure of a
fireman, of the same material, ap-
pears on the locomotive vigorously
ringing the bell, which, we sup
pose, means the breakfast, dinner,
or supper-bell. The tender, which
is an admiXture of brass and other
metals, carries sugar. in an elegant
sugar caisson, with goblets Of cog
Mac, and stunning small cut glasses.
The sides of the tender are embell-
ished with racks for cigars.
The most curious contrivance of
all is the secret music box located
somewhere in the tender, which,
being set, plays eight popular airs,
sufficient in length to entertain a
supper, dinner, or breakfast table.
The whole establishment, engine
and tender, sets upon two beautiful
enameled walters, Upon the sides
Of the locomotive, in miniature, is
emblazoned "President Jefferson
Davis"--showing that the testi-
monial locomotive and tender were
built expressly for his use or plea

banner and bottle-hag entwined

How a Conductor saved % Young
Lady from being Ch0alled.

Nor long since Conductor Cav
ley had the blessed privilege ofcar-
rying out a loving couple, who as
sumed the position of lord Ullin's
Daughter" and her betrothed, so
ahectingly described in the Teach
erS' Institute last week;
"Onc lovely hand was stretched for aid,
And one was rouEd her lover
Only in this case, instead of one
hand being stretched for aid,' it
was where the other was, encircling
his inamoratal. They had eyidcn-
tly been up, Or at least awake, very
late the evening before; the train
had not reached Early before the
female member of the firm was
sound aslcep-nothing to be wond-
cred at, for the position she had as
sumed was in every way favorable
to calm and sweet repose.
The by-sitters were simply anus
ed; but Conductor Cawley, more
experienced, foresaw serious, if not
fatal results. Approaching the
sleeping maiden, he took one wrist
in his hand, and looking at his
watch with a professional air, after
afew moments addressed the young
man.
"My dear sir, do you not see that
you are killing your Lady,"
"What~ exclaimed the youth i'll

"Don't You see you are killing

COurting in Iowa,

The following circumstance hap
pened in Ceder county, Iowa: A
certain young man being out on a
courting expedition one Sunday
evening, in order to keep his secret
from his young acquaintance, de-
termined to he at home bright and
early on Monday morning. Dres-
'sed in his fine white summer pants,
and other fiixins in proportion, he
mounted his horse and soon arrived
at the residence of his inamorata,
where he was kindly received, and
the horse properly cared for, being
turned out into the pasture for the
night. The night passed away, and
8 o'clock in the morning arrived,
Three o'clock was the time for him
to depart, so that he might arrive at
home before his comrades were
stirring. He sailed forth to the
pasture to catch his horse but here
was the difficulty-the grass was
high and loaded with dew. To
venture in with his pantaloons on

them, and lead to his detection. 1t

A Girl that would DC Married and
Why.
Mr.. Watts had by industry and
economy accumulated large prop
erty. He was man Of rather SUI
perior mind and requirements, but
unfortunately became addicted to
habits Of intemperance. Naturally
fond of company, and possessing
superior Conversational powers, his
company was much sought and he
became eventually sot. His wife
was very feeble woman, without
much decision of character; but an
only child was the reverse, illustra-
ting one of those singular laws of
nature, that the female ottenest take
after the father in character and per
sonal peculiarities' and the males
after the mother.
Mary was well aware Of the con-
sequences that would inevitably fol
low her fathers course, and had used
every exertion ofpersuasion and rea
son in her power, to induce him to
alter his habits, but without avail;
his resolutions and promises could
not Withstand temptation, and he
pursued his own downward curse,
till the poor girl despaired of reform
and previously realized what the
end must result in.
John Dunn was a young man
from the East, possessed of good ed
ucation, as all our New England
boys are, and there indomitable in
dustry and perseverance, and was
working on the farm Of a neighbor
by the month.
Mary, on going on some errand
to the next house, met HIM on the
road with the usual salutation-
"Good morning, Mr.. Dunn"
"Good morning, Miss Watts. How
is your health?"
"Well, l thank you, but to tell
the truths ick at heart"

John, "what can effect you, a cheer
