coming more and more thoroughly convin-
ccd of the superior washing qualities of the
WILMINGTON CITY Soar. The articles of
which it is composed are so thoroughly
neutralized that you need have no fear of
rotting your clothing. The patent and
labor-slvin@ soaps of the day are doing
more to rot and destroy clothes than all
the wear the clothes receive. If you will
use WILMINGTON CITY SOAR according to
directions on each pound. you will find it
to save rs much time and labor as any soap
i'll the market, without any risk of injuring
the clothes. Pure and full weight

WORTH ATTENTIoN.-We remind all our
readers that they will consult their own
profit as well as pleasure, by providing
themselves now with that most excellent,
interesting and valuable Journal called the
.american Agriculurist-th though not ex-
clusivcly an agricultural Journal as it has
been enlarged to embrace the Garden, and
especially Household labors and cares, and
the wants and interests of children and
youth. 1t is as valuable for the resi-
dents of Cities and Villages, as for country
people. No other journal for the same
money gives so large an amount of really
useful, reliable, practical information
The paper is literally full of good things,
carefully prepared by intelligent, thorough
ly practical men. The hundreds of beauti-
full engravings, given in each volume, are
pleasing and interesting i'll a high degree,
and are alone worth many times the sub
scription price, which is placed very low OH
account of the immense circulation that
enables the publishers to give great deal
for little money. The Agriculturia is
not a new enterprise, of uncertain value
and promise, but is just entering upon it's
2sth annual volume, with long establish
ed, useful character. We advise every one
of our readers to begin now with the new
volume and try the paper for year. 1t
will pay and pay well. The cost is only
$1.50 year, or four copies for $500
which is ''less than the expense of an egg
or two, or of a poor cigar per week. The
publishers are ORANGE JUDD & Co., 245
Broadway, New York. When desired, a
postpaid specimen copy can doubtless be
obtained by sending 10 Or Is cents to the
publishers. We have before us the last
number and find it alone worth whole
years subscription price.
