This Company, National in its character, Of
fers, by reason Of its Large Capital, Low Rates
of Premiums and New Tables, the most desira-
BILE means of insuring life yet presented to the
public.
The rates of premium being largely reduced,
are made as favorable the insurers as those of
the best Mutual Companies, and avoid all the
complications and uncertainties of Notes, Divi-
bends, and the misunderstanding which the
latter are so apt to cause the policy holder.
Several new and attractive tables are now
presented, which need only to be understood to
prove acceptable to the public, such as the IN
COME PRODUCING POLICY and RETURN PRE-
MUM Policy. In the tormer the policy hold
er not only secures a life insurance, payable at
death, but will receive if living, after period of
few years an annual income equal to ten per
cent. 90 per cent? of the par OF his policy In
the latter, the Company agrees to return to the
doSulSu IlLc IOtdI diuOuHI Oh money ne mas palu
in, in addition to the amount of his policy.
The attention of persons contemplating insur-
ing their lives or increasing the amount of in
surance they already have, is called to the spec
ial advantages offered by the National Life Insu-
rance Company.

PADDOCK, DEAN & Co.,
GENrs.-I have used Superphosphate upon
my farm m st. Johnsbury, Concord and Lunen-
burgh, for some gears past, with the most salts
factory results, and have endeavored to learn
how far its Use might be profitable upon various
crops. | an satisfied it pays well on corn, pota-
toes and turnips. 1t gives vigorous growth to
the young plant, natures it two weeks earlier
than barn yard manure alone, increases the yield
by abolt one-third, and improves the quality Of
the fruit This year l used equal quantity OF
yours and Bradley's, and find the Vermont fully
equal 70 any phosphate have ever used.

PADDOCK DEAN & Co.,
GENTs.-My corn land was all MANFRED broad
cast and plowed in; and planted as follows
Two rows with Vermont phosphate, two rows
without anything, then two rows with Bradley's,
and thru the Vermont again, and so on through
the piece. That which was phosphated ripened
ten days earlier, producing much more than that
not phosIhated, all dong nobly-but decidedly
the heaviest yield from the Verml Mt phosphate.
The same was true in potatoes, planted on green
sward without manure, and after the same meth
cd followed in the corn, excepting that | used
plaster in the two rows between the Vermont
ami Bradey's. In harvesting l got the same
from the plaster did from Bradley phosphate
while the Vermont yielded some bushels more
in each row. l am satisfied it pays well wherev-

PADDOCK, DEAN g. Co.,
CENT? had about two acres which was ia
poor condition, but thought it good place to
see what Phosphate would do. 1 powed, har-
rowed will, and planted corn, without manuring
at all. through the center were four rows with
out any hrtilizer, which gave slim crop. Each
side of tbs was your phosphate, (and some other
kinds) Where used your phosphate, there
was mud heavier growth, and fully three times
as much c,rn. Three cared stalks were as plen-
ty as two ears generally are and it was all large
and souna. 1 think your phosphate a superior
article, and pays well to use.

fit in all cases; but more ESPECIALLY on the grass
and wheat, which throughout the season remem
bered the slight dressing given them, and made
satisfactory returns. Having satisfied myself
that your phosphate has no superior in the mar.

use it freely in the future.

V,HE MEDICINE FOR
WHOOPTNG COUGH.

DODD'S NERVINE AND INVIGORATOR
gives agreeable and almost instant relief in the
spasms of Whooping Cough. This is complaint
that all children are expected to have; and
when it comes. strange to say, they are left to
fight it through as they best can, little or 10th
ing being done to break its intensity or help it
along. And when it is reflected that very many
of the diseases of older and adult years have
their origin in the tear and STRAIN of Whooping
Cough, this neglect would be utterly unaccount-
able but for the fact that children's diseases,
like many of the weaknesses of women, are con-
sidered so much matter of course that people
have become stoically unconcerned about them.
Let them cough it through, as we did, seems
generally to be the unfeeling word. Whooping
Cough is nervous disease, and Dodd's Nervine
and Invigorator treats it with COMPLETE Sue
CESS. Mothers Try 1t, and save your little ones
the worst agony of this distressing affection. A
sure and benefcent medicine.

Speedy Cure of Whooping Cough.

am not in the habit of taking advertised med
icines, nor OF certifying to their curative effects
when they come under my observation; but
feel constrained to make an exception in favor
of Dood's Nervine and Invigorator, medicine
have used in my family for some time past. My
little daughter had been suffering from severe
whooping cough for several weeks, and was 50
much broken of rest at night that-by excessive
coughing and loss of sleep-her constitution and
general health seemed to be giving away. Vari
GUS remedies or palliatives were recommended
by intimate neighbors, but nothing was tried IN
til our attention was called by physician not
now in practice to Dodd's Nervine. This we pro-
cured and commenced using at once -wirh an
effect immediate and surprising. As the convul-
Sions were hardest at night, we began by giving
the Nervine on going to bed The first dose admin
istered made its impression; the cough became
less frequent, and very much less severe-she
soon got her accustomed sleep-rapidly revived
| in health and vigOr-and in a few days was as
well as ever What was left of the whooping
cough was thereafter of no trovble. Of course |
cannot but consider Doddss Nervine and Invig-
orator an invaluable remedy for this distressing
maladv l may add, that 1 have since recon-
mended it TO several family friends, in like cir
cumstances and have found 1t in every case to
| be equally successful. 1t needs only to be known
| TO come into universal demand.

THIS BALsAM is introduced to the suffering
public after its merits for the positive cure of
such diseases have been fully tested. The for
mula from which it is prepared is referred to by
the leading medical journals as being equal to
any prescription that can be made up, for such
diseases, by the medical faculty. The BAL,SAM
is, consequently, recommended by physicians
who have been acquainted with its great success.
AS an expectorant it has no equal DIR. A. L.

to the public throughout the United States as the
inventor Of remedies for the lungs, recommends
ALIENS LUNG BALSAM as surprising any
thing that has been offered to the public for the
cure of Lung diseases. He has used it in his
own family with great success in the case of his
sister, who was supposed to be in the last stages
of consumption. This lady is now well. and has

SWEARING CHINAMEN.-The trial of All
Choy and All Sam, now going on in the
District court, for the murder Of All Sou,
says the Silver City Idaho Territory III.
daI Waoe,. is creating q greater interest
than any trial that has ever occurred here
on account of the novelty of the method Of
swearing witnesses. A ROSTERS head is
hacked off with a knife, saucer broken
the oath written on yellow paper, burned
and the smoke, which is supposed to be
the spirit of the burned oath, blown up to
heaven in each case. The prosecution and
defence each swore five witnesses, killed
five chickens, broke five saucers, burned
five pieces of paper, sc. After killing the
chickens they are thrown away by the
Cinnamon and considered unfit for use
but having had their Threats cut nicely,
bled, etc, the American heather considg
them none the worse for having been sworn
by, and we confess to having been guilty
ofthe sacrilege of assisting to devour a
portion that was really fat, tender and good
to our unsanctified palate.
