TO ascertain the effect Of transpanting at night,
made an experiment, with the following result:
He transplanted ten cherry trees when in bloom,

roots.

TIE DErSKARD's CUKE.-Some months ago n
gentleman advertised that he had discovered n
sure specifc for the cure of drunkenness. He
would not divulge the secret of what compounds
he used but furnished the medicine Mt so much

lating drinks. IL is To be taken in quantities
equal to an ordinary dram, and as often as the
desire for n dram returns. Any druggist can pre-
pare the prescription
