REMEDY FOR Dull TIMES. The
best remedy for dull times is to adj
vcrtise freely. Merchants should not
let their stocks stay shelved until
they become old, stale and unproft-
able, for the sake of the small ex-
pense it would cost them to adver-
tisc. If they try it regularly and
persistently, they will find the in

A Remarkable Case.
A GIRL INsENsIBLE FOR SEVEN WEEKS,

At Dansvile, NY, a little girl named
Robinson, aged about ten years, was seized
after dinner with a sort of fit, her muscles
becoming as stiff as board. Her jaws
were firmly locked, the abdominal muscles
hard, the toes drawn to the bottom of the
feet, the fingers tightly clenched and drawn
into the palms of the hands, and the entire
form so rigid that she could be raised on
end by the head or feet like stick. At tn,
same time her torearms were revolving
around each other with the rapidly that no
we'll person could initiate. This motion
continued for about half day. Her respi

In this strange condition she continued
about seven weeks without taking particle
O.. nourishment, although every effort was
made to introduce food in liquid form
through an opening made by extracting
tooth, or by injection. The only medical
agent that could soften the muscles was
chloroform, and the effects of an applica.
ton only lasted four or five minutes. Once
she opened her eyes and replied to ques,
tion from her father: "Are you sick, Su

was finally resorted to, and the entire skin

opened her eyes she recovered the full use

them out to get wet, and to the influence of
a hot sun, to crack the wood Wagons and
plows will last a lifetime, if we'll housed :
but when left out, exposed to all kinds OF
weather, few years suffice to use them up.
A tool room is as important to q farmer
as any building on his farm. A work bench,
with vice at one end, is very important
Here hundred things can be " fixed" too
numerous to mention.
In such room good assortment of good
tools should be kept-saws, planes. augurs,
bits, gimblets, files, &c. Then get good
supply of nails of all kinds, wrought and
cut, and some made especially for little
jobs, that require nice nails. The city hard,
ware dealers have them; they come in pa
pers like brads. You also want an assert.
ment of screws. No matter whether you
know of any use you can put many of the
screws, brads, nails, &C., to-, you will be
sure to use them all sooner or later.
You also require q good assortment OF
timber, ready seasoned, to enable you to
make or mend anything that can possihl,'
be done outside Of a.wheelwright or black,

SPRINGHAIT IN HORSES. This blemish in

edge of the veterinary art, in connection
with alG9er anatomical knawle,.ge OF the

Fellow citizens, it is useless to expect any
material prosperity or advancement of the

ion of our population.

this fact, and the attachment of the people
to the common school system shows how

If education which the young men OF other
Free States have, is to doom our children
to be hewers of wood and drawers of water
to men of superior developme forever.
We call upon all car fellow citizens, who
know that knowledge is power, and who
hope to see the mineral, mercantile and
agricultural advantages of Maryland made
productive by some educated labor, to potc
against the proposed Constitution.
