A Great Ear of Corn

Has been shown US by orr near neighbor,
W. II. Few, taken from his lot. AS piece
had been broken off during our absence, its
exact lenghth could not be ascertained; but
we should judge it to be fraction less than
half yard in length, and evidently was not
done growing when pulled. This is a whop-
per, 1--WE mean the ear of corn, considering
the unfavorable season. If anybody can pro-
duce larger ear than this we should like to
see it,

The Hog Cholera,

We were sorry to learn, during late visit
to Warren, is prevailing to an alarming extent
IN some portions of that county. Many per-.
sons in Gloomy Manor, and lower down, had
lost the greater portion of their hogs, and the
disease seems to be extending its rayages. We
understand that in some instances Foutz's Cat
tie Powders had been successfully used as

GENTS IL think am only doing the part of a
good citizen when testify to the great benefits
received by me from the use of your Stomach Bit
ters during the last five years. Sojourning for a
time in the oil regions, in 1861 had severe bill
ious attack, which, in connection with dyspepsia,
left me in very week condition. | was advised
to try your Bitters, and, having procured bottle,
found that they worked like charm upon me,
eight pounds having been added to my weight in
the space of one week, and new life seemed to have
been infused into my system, SO much, so that
have been induced to use them every summer
since that time. As tonic, | think they are in
valuable.
This Summer, having had similar attack, (and
as before, much reduced,) although under the
treatment of an No. physician, 1 was again OBJ
iged to have recourse to the old Gitters and with
the same good result, having gained six pounds
within few days. Ipurchased half dozen bot
ties a few weeks since, and purpose to use them
regularly a tonic.
Wishing you every success, remain
Yours, gratefully,
WILLIAM MILLER.

Such preachers may be conscientious and
earnest, but their solemnity and asceticism,
poth IN ana out Of the pulpit, cast gloom
about the doctrines that they preach, render
ing them repulsive to the great majority of
their hearers. The apostle who twas made
all things to men that he might save some. -
and who so earnestly instructed Timothy 6to
be gentle to all men, evidently did not relish
thls style OF preaching. II the modern CLERGY
would add knowledge of the springs aud mo.
yves OF human action to the sum of their
otner gifts, 1t would enlarge greatly their
sphere OF influence. The fact is the system
OF education pursued in our theological
seminaries savOrs too much of the monastic
character, cramping, instead of enlarging
ana hberalizing their minds. It is fact well
known that our most able, eloquent, and eff
clent pulpit orators have been and are men
who for years prior to entering the ministry
were IN the active pursuits of the mercantile
world or in the practice of the law and of
medicine. Their previous training schooled
them into a practical knowledge of human
nature, hberaliziDg their views, sharpening
their faculties, giving them great advantages
over their less favored colleagues, who had
fewer opportunities, amid the clustered shades
OF theological seminaries of ofacquiring that COM
prehensive knowledge of mans nature and the
worlds ways so efficient for good when exhi-
bited in the pulpit. - Northern Monthly and
