WEArHER.-We are now enioyin

WEATHER.-We are now enjoying
weather of the most delightful character.
The autumn season we are now entering
bids fair to be long and pleasant. As yet
there are but few evidences in nature of
the approach Of Fall. With the exception of
here and there m aple in the oscar and
yellow leaf" the woods retain their sheen
of green. Up to this time we have had no
frost to do any injury. 1t is seldom that
this is the case in Wisconsin SO late in the
season. A long fine Fall is to be hoped for
to make amends for tie extremely short
and disagreeable one of last year. Our far
mers, we notice, are taking advantage OF
the present fine time to do their ia plough
ing. and many fields are al ready prepared
for operations in the spring.

Doors AND SASHA few months
ago the door and sash mandatory of R. E.
l. G. B. Lewis passed into the hands Of the
latter, who now carries on the business 1t
is only about eight years ago that the Lew
is Brothers commenced the manufacture of
DOORS sash and blinds on the west side Of
the river on very limited scale. From
year to year their business increased until
it made such iuroads on their facilities that
they found it necessary last fall to COM
mence the erection of finishing shop, 40
feet wide by 80 long, near their place of
manufacture. This building is now &C.
cupied with numerous workmen and con-
tains a large.amouut of the manufactured
stock. Mr.. Lewis informs us that his busi-
ness continues good, equaling that OF last
year. There are more men with the enter
prise and business ability of Mr.. Lewis
needed in every city and town, and we
trust his efforts at building up large and
remuneratlve business in our midst will meet
with abundantlsu success.

To THE NERVOUS.

The natural result of exhaust on Of
strength by excessive labor or action, is a
feeling of weakness, dullness, heaviness,
WEAKNESS, languor of the body or mind, &c.
Persons of weak constitution, or whose
habits are sedentary, frequently complain of
this relaxed condition OF the vital energies !;
and when persons OF a nervous temperament
are thus weakened and debilitated, disease
inevitably follows unless it is at once check
ed and overcome. All who suffer from these
causes alike require a remedy which will
strengthen the system without exciting it,
and awake feeling of true enjoyment, so
that life may become source of pleasure.
MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS has won its
way into the confidence of thousands of this
class of persons, who warmly endorse it AS
the best invigora ting ageLt t, and the most
potent and genial of ull tonics and alte-a-
tives for strengthening and restoring the
physical constitution.

Should the weather continue as favorable as
it is at present there will doubtless be large
