The Drunkard's Ours.

1
Some months ago says an exchange, a
gentleman advertised that he had discov-
cred sure specific for the cure of drunk
enness, He would not diyulge the secret
OF what compounds he used, but furnished
the medicine at SO much per bottle. He
did not have so many applicants for his
cure as he expected, considering the ex
tent Of the disease In fact, the more ma
lignant cases did not seem anxious for
relief. They rather appeared to enjoy
themselves under treatment, and some
were cured-whether by taking the
medicine or by not taking strong drinks
we are not prepared to say One of the
cured ones had faith in the medicine,
rigidly carried out the directions of the
doctor, and now has not the least taste for
intoxicating drinks whereas one year ago
he was an inebriate, and could not get
along with less than pint to quart of
whisky per day. ~ 5d saaa
He said that, at some trouble and ex-
pense, he had procured the receipt for
the preparations of the medicine, which
he had published for the benefit of suf-
fering humanity 1t is as follows Sulp-
hate OF iorn, five grains; peppermint wa
ter eleven drachms; spirit of nutmeg,
one drachm, twicea day This prepare
ton acts as tonic and stimulsnt; and so
partially supplies the place of the accuS.
toned liquor, and prevents that absolute
physical prostration that follows i sud
den breaking off from the use Of st.mulat-
ing drinks 1t is to be taken inquantities
equal to an ordinary dram and SO often as
the desire for dram returns Any
druggist can prepare the prescription.
1t is said this preparation win soon re-
move all longing for intoxicating drinks.
Try it, you who honestly wish to break
away from habit which is hurrying you
to a drunkard's grave.

Misery in Palaces,

Looking from the river, the east bank
of the Hudson is studded for forty miles
with large and costly mansions which
loom up proudly amid masses of deep
green foliage. These buildings have an
air Of feudal grandeur, and their solitude,
their heavy masonary, their towers, and
the surrounding forest remind one of the
castled Rhine But although some may
affect this style of Elife, it appears to our
taste exceedingly solitary and even gloomy
and that these snowy mansions contain a
vast amount Of misery is evident from
those occasional revelations which cannot
be repressed. We have referred to Pauld-
ing castle, and we might refer to the Ben
nett mansion, where the Cerberus of the
press is passing miserable age. We
might also speak of grand riverside
palace, whose owner kept himself afoat
by series of forgeries, until, fearing de-
lection, he was obliged to flee to Europe
where he died We know of one man
who built palace in a park Of three hun
bred acres, and who gave an entertainment
to large company, whom he sent home
in his own carriages, to the number of one
and yet this man was sold out
by the sheriff, and died q bankrupt In
fact, the changes in these splendid villas
are about as marked and as marked as
are found in humber life, and verify the
old saying that "fools build houses and
wise men live in them

Plant Trees,

Thirteen years ago planted row of maple
trees along the road in front Of my house, and
through the season was q dry one, the most
l tapped some of the largest of them, and
made some of the finest mola5ses / ever saw.
Now would recommend to all young men
who have just commenced farming, to plant
shade trees around their dwellings.
To me there is nothing more pleasing than
to see homes surrounded by variety Of
shade trees. Not only do they relieve the
landscape, when set judiciously, but they
serve as shelter from the sun, and barrier
to cold, bleak winds.
Shade trees have q pecuniary value like
wise, that should not be overlooked, and a
farmers home tastefully laid out and shaded
has a greater pecuniary value than one whose
owner has no taste for such Improvements

TERRIBLE SCENE IN A MENAGERIE-A
LIoNEss ATTACKS IT'S TAMER.-A terrible
accident at the exhibition Of Ames Men
agrie, at Madison, Indiana on Wednesday
evening, in which Herr Lengel, the famous
lion tanner, was very seriously wounded
and narrowly escaped instant death. He
had nearly completed his usual perform
ance in the lions cage, and was in the act
of firing off his pistol as the fnaJe when
one Of the lionesses sprang furiosiy at
him, and tore his flesh in shreds from his
arms and legs The unfortunate mans
bones snapped under the terrible violence
and all the spectators were stricken with
fear, expecting to see him killed outright.
The employees Of the menagerie however,
quickly realized the peril of the situation
and made furious attack on the lioness
with spears and Iances. They succeeded
with some difficulty, in beating her off
and rescuing their comrade, ~who was inn
mediately placed under medical treatment
and his wounds dressed. The crowd of
spectators were thrown into great confu-
sion during the affair, and many, fearing
for their own lives, fled from the scene,
but fortunately none were injured Gin

New Churches at Rockford, III.

Rockfor d. III, Aug go, 1868
To tina Editor OF the Chiago Evening journal.
The cornerstone of a new Swed ish
Lutheran Church was laid yesterday, in
this city, with appropriate ceremonies.
The proposed structure is to be built of
stone, and is to be ninety feet long by
about forty feet wide, and is to cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 The erection
of this church will be good example Of
the character of our Swedish population
wh4ch comprises large portion of our
people. The Swedes are an industrious,
orderly aud thriving people They
easily assimilate American habits and
sympathise with our views and social
modes, and are nearly all Republicans
This new church enterprise suggests a
few words in regard to church building
in Rockford. There are now in process of
erection in this city three new churches
while another is about to be commenced
Besides these, two have been thoroughly
repaired and refurnished, while another
is being enlarged andrepaired. Altogeth-
er there are seven church enterprises go
ing forward here. the least of them in
volving an expenditure Of several thous
ands Of dollars The largest Of these edi-
fees, the State Street Baptist Church,
would do credit to city of much more
pretention than Rockford. Considering
our population-about 12,000--we think
these church Improvements a fair exhibit
of our growth and prosperity as a city.

The Pacific Railroad Snow Sheds

An exchange says that the sheds built
by the Pacific Railroad Company to pro
tect their track from the deep SHOWS of
Sierra Nevada, were crushed by the weight
Of snow that fell upon them, and that
some other method of protection would
have to be devised. It seems, however,
that this plan of shielding has not been
abandoned The company are now en-
gagged in erecting sheds over the cuttings
and other exposed points. They are of
heavy timber fran work, with pointed
gable roofs, and look as though they
could withstand almost any pressure of
snow. Nearly forty miles Of the track
will have to be thus covered, and the
quantity of timber required will be enor-
nous. Not less than twenty-five saw mills
most of them worked by steam, are run
night and day, employing nearly tive
thousand men, and yet they do not work
up to the needs of the company In few
weeks twepty-eight mills will be running.
1t is estimated that it will require no less
than 100000 feet of lumber to construct
a mile Of sheds. So great is the demand
that the country, on both sides Of the
track, is being rapidly denuded of its
forest s-e Hr51
