KosKoo. This medicine is rapidly gain
ing the confidence of the people, and the
numerous testimonials of its virtues given
by practitioners of medicine. leaves no
doubt that it is safe and reliable reme-
dy for impurity of the blood, liver disease,
&c.
The last Medical Journal contains an
article from Prof r. S. Newton, nj. D.,
President of the e Medical College, city
of New York, that speaks in high terms
of its curative properties, and gives spe-
cial recommendation of Koskoo to the
practitioners of medicine. This is, We
believe, the first instance where such med
icines have been officially endorsed by the
Faculty of any Of the medical colleges, and
reflects great credit upon the skill of DR.
Lawrence, its compounder, and also puts
" Koskoo" in the van of all other medi-
cines Of the present day.

Lime.
We have frequently called the attention
of our farmers to the subject of Lime, as
fertilizer, and having had an opportunity
to learn something of the operations of
the different Lime companies in the State,
We can net refrain from again calling
their attention to this matter. 1t is not
only a matter of economy and utility to
the farmer, but is proving to be of great
profit as product for export. Lime is
used in the anufaeturc of a great many
articles of trade and brings fine remu-
neratise price in the different markets. 1t
is not generally known that vast amount
of lime is used, alone, in the manufacture
of the finer qualities of queensware, besides
the Thousand Of other uses for maniac
turing purposes. The lime made from the
superior quality of stone peculiar to the
Valley district is said to possess superior
chemical qualities and commands higher
price than lime made in many other
sections.
We know Of one company. alone, in the
Valley, who are increasing their facilities
to furnish an increasing demand for their
superior lime, for manufacturing purpo-
ses. They are now furnishing thousands
of barrels of this lime, and expect to be
able to draw out several thousand barrels
per week, in very short time.
With the same facilities could not some
of our enterprizing citizens convert ma
ny of our immense quarries of equally
good limestone into this marketable mer-
chandise. We really hope this question
will be practically considered, and lend
to the Development of ons of our not in
considerable mines of wealth. We shall
take occasion to give some hints as to the
best manner of constructing kilns, upon
the most improved plans, as gathered
from the experience of these companies.

Athens. He is supposed to equal in elo-

mouthed preacher of antiquity. He was
formerly a monk of the Greek Church,
but seems to have abandoned its cere-
monies and peculiarities, and breaches
the gospel in its purity and power, in

Evangelical Missionaries, with whom he

An Esthetie view of Swearing.

One of the young ladies in Brook
Farm story in the Overland Monthly
SAYS: There is profane swearing where
the heart is filled with vindictive pas
sion-with malice; but most of the
swearing INDUCED in by young people
and uncultivated people is only so much
emphasis to back up their sentences with,
1t shows that those who indulge in it are
wanting in intelligent respect for their
own Statements or are doubtful if they
will be accepted as true by those they
address. | do not deny that it is ex-
tremely bad taste; that it is vulgar and
disagreeable; and yet, a great deal of
informal swearing is INDUCED in by really
reverent and kind-hearted people"
To which a sailor present responded:
u am sure, Miss, it's not language that S
so wicked; it's the way one feels in the
heart. was thinking, all the time you
we're talking, of once when i was at sea,
leagues from land in the Pacific; and we
fell in with a water-lOgged ship with nine
starving men on her. Then they begged
to be taken on board. Now, our captain
was one Of your pious sort. Well, when
the mate. with his hands on the ropes,
ready TO lower the boat, heard the cap
tain's cold-blooded decision, Tell them
we can't take them; we have only pro-
visions enough TO take ourselves to port;
why. the mate swore an oath-I should
not dare to repeat it to you, Miss; in a
bad cause II were enough to. sink-and
wishing that he might be hung, besides,
at the yard-arm, if he did not fetch those
poor souls on board. And down went
the boat, in spite Of the captain, and on
board they came; and we all arrived safe
and sound in port. Now, Miss, ask you
who swore-the mate or the captainf'
