the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our tiGnts can devise for this every

With Movable or Inserted Teeth.
We claim for our Patent Circular Saw the
following advantages over all others:
The shanks of the teeth are elastic, and
exert uniform distension in the sockets.
The stability of the plate is in no way af-
fected by inserting new sets Of teeth.
Each tooth, independently, may be adjust
ed to the cutting line.
No rivets, keys, or other Objectionable APP
planes are employed in connection with
the teeth which are as simple in construc-
ton, and as easily used as a nut for bolt
In short, all the difficulties heretofore ex-
perienced in the use of movable teeth for
saws, are fully met and obviated by this in
vention.

4 CURIOUS TREE.-A gentleman residing
north of Port Byron, Cayuga county, has 4
large and fourishing pear tree which Is
curiosity that attracts numerous spectators.
Some years since he covered the roots of the
tree with straw as protection against cold
weather. When the straw was removed II
was found that family Of moles had made
it their. .habitation, and, in the natural de-
pravity of their instincts, had passed their
time in gnawing the bark from the tree,
stripping it clean below the straw with the
exception of few inches on one side. The
owner, being possessed of an inventive turn
of mind, determined TO save the tree if pos
sible, and he has succeeded. lie cut from
the tree several healthy and promising
sprouts, and bending them in the form of a
crescent, grated on end of each in the body
of the tree above and below this girdle
Now the tree is healthy above and below
the spot, whilst beneath the sprouts the
trunk is dead and decaying. The sprouts
have, of course, increased in size, and the
owner confidently expects they will be able
to sustain the weight of the tree by the time
the trunk has decaycd through to the
healthy side. The top is filed with an un,
usually large quantity of fruit, and the
yield this season will be greater than ever
before,

A DIFFICULT QrESTIoN.-The Queen
does not pretend, as sovcrcigns do, to he the
arbtcr of Europe, but her Majesty has just
arbitratcd in a matter which might have
conyulscd embassies, though it would pro-
badly have left the world totally undisturb-
ed. 1t seems thnt there was question
what place in order Of procedure should
be en- Dyed by the daughters Of NJ. Mu-
surus, tue Turkish Ambassador, as com
pared with the wife Of Baron Bulow, the
Minister of Denmark. AZ to the two am
bassadors there was no doubt. 1t was quite
certain that NJ. Musuru5 had precedence
but did it extend to his daughters The
Queen, after such grave consideration ne
the question demanded, M. Guizot would
have made it the subject Of a most cXtc,i-
siye diplomatic ncgotiation-has decided IN
favor of the Danish ambassadrcss. Nc
reasons are given, but her Majesty may
perhaps be safely presumed to have gone by
the old rule Of precedence by seniority
and no doubt has done wisely; though il
ever the Crown might be expected to dc
wrong it would be in arbitrating between
number Of excited ladies. Many sore-
reign would rather 90 into a conference n

somebody, who signs herself Stallasthia G

author must be soft enough TO roll out

4 choice extract is given:
"The tender fruit engagement appears
among the leaves OF affection and flowers OF
love. Now, black, bancful jealousy, with
all its blighting influence, consuming ha-
tired and offensive power, snaws at the stem
that the young fruit may fall and perish
while calumny, the proud syren OF infamy,
sings song and warbles melodies to en-
nance the aspirations TO pleasures and the
beautiful, then lead off to vice and folly to
the end that the plighted VOW may be
broken. The fruit ripens into matrimony."
