HEINITSH'S CELEBRATED
GERMAN HORSE POWDER
For all Diseases TO which a Horse is Liable.

HNHE various diseases to which that no.
Il bic and useful animal, the horse, is
subject, and the little knowledge that is
known OF them by farriers and ignorant
ostlers, have occasioned many remedies to
be offered to the public under different
forms, with high cncomiums, and sane
toned by diSnitied names. Some of these
are injurious; others, at best, OF little use,
and many entirely worthless, and 40 not
meet the want. A good medicine, free
from objections of this kind, has long been
desired by many gentlemen who have va
luablc horses. We therefore offer the only
good mcdicinc-the true "GERMAS
HORSE POWDER" which has proved 80
eflicacious in all the diseases. 1T is pro
pared from the original recipe of Dr.. Hci-
nitsh, OF Germany. It's extra rdinary vir-
tues IRE attcsted to by thousands, and for
fifty years has stood, and still stands, first
in the estimation of all experienced farm
ers and agricutursts as the best medicine
for the horse. 1t is recommended for
horses f0undered by eating to excess or
drinking cold water when heated, to such
as have symptoms of CHAMBERS or arc ox-
posed to the infection by being with other
horses, for indigestion, distempcr, hide
bound. drowsiness, loss OF appetite, inward
sprains, debility, wasting Of flesh, sore
eyes, swellcd legs, grease, mango, surfcit,
Oh coughs, for exhaustion from work. 1t
carries OIL all foul humors, purifies and
cools the blood, and prevents horses be-
coming stiff and .foundcrcd. It is stimu-
!nS for weak stomachs, ard renders the
limbs and skin soft and fine, giving a
smooth. coat to Tie hair. Ask for sIici-

Oh, tho cheerful budding time,
When thorn hedges turn to green,
When new leaves Of elm and lime
Cleave and shod their winter screen;
Tender lambs are born and "baa," t
North wind finds no snow to bring,
Vigorous nature laughs cha, ha,"
In the miracle Of spring. ''
Oh, the gorgeous blossom days, te
When broad fiag-flowers drink and blow,
In and out in summer blaze ~
Dragon-fies fash to and fro;
Ashen branches hang out keys,
Oaks put forth the rosy shoot,
Wandering herds wax sleek at case, r-
Lovely blossoms end in fruit.
Oh, the shouting harvest weeks,
Mother Garth grows fat with sheaves,
Thrifty cleaner finds who seeks;
Russet golden pomp of leaves
Crowns the woods, to fall at length;
Bracing winds are felt to stir,
Ocean gathers up her strength,
Beasts renoW their dwindled fur.
Oh, tho starving winter lapse,
Ice-bound, hunger-pinched and dim;
Dormant roots recall their saps,
Empty nests show black and grim, 9 q
Short-hved sunshine gives no heat, q
Undue buds are nipped by frost, .les
Snow sets forth a winding sheet,
And all hope of life seems lost.

A good joke is told on one of our

eyes," was the reply.
can will you please fill one with
your best rye whiskey for me?"
"Of COURSE" said the obiging
dealer; and after reaching for the re-
quired flask, and spending full
half hour cleaning it, repaired to
the cellar, drew half pint of his
Bourbon, and presented it to the
gentleman in waiting.
Pat took the bottle, raised it to his
lips, swallowed at laast half of its
contents, and then, after making
the appropriate face over it, said, in
very confidential tone:
"Win you please to sit this to one
side till call for it?''
The saloon-keeper, smelling
large sized rat, carefully slowed
away the said half. filed bottle. The
fellow never called for it, but took
this novel way Of obtaining drink.

The Adornment of the Head---The
Hair Restorer.

GRAY HEADED people have their locks
~ restored by it to the dark, lustrous,
silken trcsses of youth, and are happy.
Young people, with light, faded or red hair,
have these questionable colors changed
to beautiful auburn, and rejoice. People
whose heads are covered with dandruff and
humors, use it, and have clean coats and
clear and healthy scalps. Bald-hcaded
veterans have their remaining locks tight
ened, and tho bare spots covered with a
luxuriant growth of hair, and dance for
joy. Young gentlemen use it because it is
richly perfumed. Young ladies use it be-
cause it keeps their hair in place. Every
body must and ,oM use it, because it is tho
cleanest and best article in the market.

For CoNsUhpT1vHs.-The Phila-

For CONSERVATIVES. The Phila-
sdelphia Ledger asks, if it occurred
to the company which proposes to
run regular steamers up the Amazon
from Para, for distance of $500
miles from its mouth, that it will
be able to transport passengers direct
into the inland valley of Jauja, where
the consumptive will obtain restora-
ton of health and cure of q too
generally incurable disease? The
voyage, though long, may be made
almost without changing vessels,
and will be iound neither tedious
nor debilitating. It will introduce
travellers into some of the most mag.
niicent scenery in the world. It
has been known to the natives, from
time immemorial, that removal of
consumptive patients, even in the
stage of well-marked liberation and
cavities in the lungs, to the Valley
of Jauja, at height of 10000 feet
above the sea, was followed by an
almost invariable suspension OF the
disease. This fact is corroborated
by the experience of physicians of
Peru at the present time. From
the statistics Of Lima, published in
1858, it appears that nearly eighty
per cent. of the cases of consump-
ton sent to the Jauja Valley are
cured. ''

brought back when four years old.
Soon after his return, the duchess,

her into the court yard, he took off
his cap and began to sing. The
little duke had been trained by his

WE WOULD CALL the attention of the Society
to Prevent Cruelty to Animals to the fact that
the dog-catchers throw the dogs they capture
into a cart, in which they are detained under
the hottest sun all day, without drop Of
water. This treatment is positively brutal.
Because they are possibly on their way to
death, is no reason why they should be tor
tured. Even after being taken to the pen,
they are kept for several days without any
thing proper to drink. AS it is popularly sup
posed that the object of their capture is to
prevent mad dogs, we cannot conceive plan
more suited to procure score of victims of
hydrophobia. We hope the Association will
promptly compel humanity to be shown to
these poor animals.
