PRUssIvG's VINEeAR.-As the picking
season is now at hand, and many housekeep-
ers are concerned about getting vinegar that
will keep their pickles, we deem it our duty
to inform our readers that Prussing's vinegar
is admitted by all who have tried it to have
no superior in the market for this purpose.
Mr.. Prussing warrants his vinegar to be free
from all poisonous acids, with which many
Eastern yinegars are adulterated. His works
are the largest of the kind in the United
States, and owing to the extra quality of his
vinegar, it is rapidly superseding all Others
with the city and country trade. Dealers and
consumers should not fail to ask for it VIXEN
replenishing their stock.-Iuinoss State Jour-

The Shlvering Season.

The loss to the llboring classes Of tie United
States caused by fever and agae, has been esti-
mated at upwards OF two millions of dollars per

localities, as one OF those vieitations Of Provi-
dencs which cannot be avoided. This Is mistake.
A certainly - any Of the evils which arc invited

lawyer; and Tom Soper made his Will, and
such reparation as lay IN his power for
the wrong he had done. ~ , faiiF 8
In less than fortnight that viii had to
be read, and people declared that it was
the most incomprehensible will that was
ever penned; for, as to Miss Champion, it
was known that Tom Soper had had what
amounted almost to an aversion for her;
Jerry Simpson, who was then up In Lon
don being turned into an architect, was no
more than speaking acquaintance; and
there was not penny bestowed in charity.
The trustees of the schools, the guardians
who had to keep the pump in repair, the
board of the literary institution, and, in q
word, every one connected with any of the
local charities, declared finally that the
five hundred pounds had evidently been
intended as charitable trust-fund, and
even went so far as to quarrel among them
selves as to its distribution; but the clergy
man, happening to differ from them IN toto,
kept the money for ffs own use and bene-
fit; and SO the literary and scientific insti-
tuition, which it had been in contemplation
to call ''The Soper Lyceum of Science,
came to speedy end for want of funds,
and the building stands desolate and un-
tented-(there is talk Of turning it into a
lunatic asylum, bat the fsBlack Lion" has
petitioned against it )-even unto the pres
ent day-a melancholy, monument Of the
vanity of human wishes,
Every one said it was the most incom-
prehensible will ever penned; and SO one
half of Cogswen asked, "Whst induced him
to do it?" and the other half answered,
Heaven knowsT But the above may be
taken as true statement of the matter,
though how the facts came to be known
whether they were divulged by Mr.. Soper
himself, or whether the ghost of the last
will and testament paid a second visit to,

profound secret. ALI that is necessary to

turn the switch in time; and if it were not
done, the oncoming train would meet an
other train and a terrible crash and smash
take place. The safety of hundreds Of lives
depended upon his fidelity. What could

told him, and did it instantlys He fellflat
between the rails, and the cars went high

Great CONSERVATION was created Thurs
day in the usual peaceful village of Rose
Hill, where our shaker friends pursue their
happy avocations Among the denizens Of
this prosperous community were q young
man by the name ofJohn Boyd and maid
called Jariah McCoid, andit seems that un-
der their quiet and apparently cold exterior
they cherished most un-Shaker-like at
tachmentfor each other, and on Thursday,
to the horror of the brotherhood, they
eloped. They went to Nicholasville, and,
having put up at the Verandah Hotel, called
in Rev. Mr.. Hunt, and were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony before a numer-
GUS company, among whom was our in
formant, Capt VIM. Harlan, of Tennessee.
As they stood before the reverend divine,
he with broadbrim in hand. and with the
long homespun coat peculiar to the broth
erhood from which he had fed, and she ''in
simplest habit clad, they were not an un-
interesting couple Even her horrible cos
tune, as the female spectators regarded it,
could not disguise the beauty of the bride,
for she was fresh and fair, and the groom
was as happy as man could be.

HAGGAIs SEAL-One of the most i'm
portant, although as yet disregafded, dis
coveries made byi the Palestine exploration
party at Jerusalem, is the seal of Haggai,
the son of Shebaniah, whom we take to be
the prophet commissioned along with
Zachariah to forward the rebuilding of the.
house of the Lord, upon the return of the
Jews from Babylon, after the seventy years
captivity, and about the same number of
years before Nehemiah moved so heartily in
the completion of the restoration
Haggai appeared to have been deep in the
foundation of the restoration, and TO have
left his seal there. Whether dropped
by accident, or left to be found s:after
many days" by the people appointed to ex-
ercise certain authority under the seal Of
prophesy, certain it is that the seal of
'.Haggai, the son of Shebaniah, !" has BEEN
found 1t Is noticeable that the last words
of Haggai, whose seal has Just nov been @
brought TO light, after being buried SO many
centuries, are about the return to power
of the man who had authority to effect the
restoration of the Lords house at Jerlsa-
lem. Haggai prophesied about $40 b. c.,
or sixteen years after the Jews had receiv-
ed permission, at the end af the seventy
years captivity in Babylon to return and

FINE DRESSING OF CHURCH-eoERs. .-Ap-
pleton's Journal thinks that the wearing of
Ane dresses by church-going ladies is not
so reprehensible practice after ali. It
says: "Men and women in pure linen, in
unstained apparel, in choice personal
adornment, have a sense of dignity and
elevation which those in sloyenly garb do
not experience. And it is no particular sin
if this sort of elevation is carried little
too far. Pride, of course, often enters into
fine dressing, and ms ny women particular
ly are fond of Haunting their fine feathers
in the peoples eyes; but a great ma
jority love handsome dressing in obe-
dience to an instinct of refnement-in
consequence of that sense of personal
purity which accompanies the wearing of
choice apparel-and hence we see perfect
congruity In the well-dressed crowds that
pour through our streets on Sundays, vend-
ing their way to the place of prayer. And
our most fashionable congregations, if ex-
hibiting q little too much Of ultra elegance,
even if showing unmistakably the presence
of pride and vainglory in too large pro-
portion for the spiritual welfare of the wor-
shippers, have yet an air Of sobriety, are
reverential in manner, at least-conditions
that seem to have been somewhat different
in former times, if we can credit M. ]. G.
Jeffreson, who, in his new Book about the
Clergy, gives rs some striking pictures of
church assemblies in the olden times"

ERIE RAILROAD MAKING GREAT PREPARA-
IIoEs FOR THE SUMNER TRAvRL--Thers is
no railroad to-day in America IN so complete
order, both the track and rolling stock.
Great Improvements have been introduced
TO make the road the most popular with the
travelling public. Elegant new broad-gauge
palace day and night coaches have been
added, (said to be the finest in the world),
which makes it luxurious travelling, there
being no changes of cars. Persons holding
tickets for -berths, sections or state rooms,
have undisputed possession Of them until
they arrive in New York. Invalids and
families, or ladies travelling alone, VIII appre-
eiate these advantages. Two lightning
express trains daily to New York. Parties
should be very particular to ask for tickets
uid Erie road, and not be persuaded to take
any other route. --
