A TOrpid System.

Sometimes, without any assignable cause, the
ply steal strength and animal spirits give way,
and a strange tOrpor falls alike on the body and
intellect There is little or 10 pain perhaps,
but the natural vigor and elasticity of the
nervous and muscular system seems to have
departed, and an Indifference to the pleasures
of life, and even of its grave responsibilities,
takes the place of that earnest interest in both
which ch2racterizes every well balanced mind
when in healthy condition. ..
This state Of partial collapse is often the pre-
mouitory systoms of some serious malady. 1t
indicates uRmistakab'y that the vital powers
are Ian guishirg and need a stimulant In such
cases the effect of a few doses OF Hostetter

great tonic wakes up the system from It's
dTowse. The seCTeti0ns al d the Circulation re.

Inequality of sa,e. of transportation


All over the country this SUI .sct i,
attracting attention, and in several oi
the States legislation is demanded by
the people. In the Senate of New York
. bill has been introduced designed t.
reach this evil, which provides that
railways in the State of New York shall
not be allowed to charge for the trans
portation of any freight Il greater sum
than so per cent over through rates, on
freight carried not exceeding ten miles;
IS per cent over through rates on
freight carried twenty-five miles; 80 per
cent over through rates on freight car
ried not exceeding fifty miles; % per
cent on seventy-five miles; 20 per cent
on one hundred miles. All freight over
one hundred and fifty miles shall be
carried at the same per mile as through
freight of the same class as that receiv-
ed at the terminus of the road, or from
other connecting roads, but it is con-
eeded that an additional charge OF %
cents per ton may be made for handling
such local freight. Winter rates must
not be more than 80 per cent in excess of
the rates charged during the season OF
water transportation, and no freight
must be delayed at a station more than
six days accidents excepted, of course).
1t is provided, further, that the State
Engineer shall give official notice, by
publication in the State paper, for three
successive weeks after the first day OF
November, of what rates shall consti-
tute the winter freight tariff, which he
will arrive at by taking the lowest
charges of the year and adding 80 per
cent thereto.

Ladies' Skill at Archery.

On Tuesday, says the Boston Times,
about one hundred ladies and gentle
men, by private invitation, assembled
at Quincy to witness trial at archery
by twelve young ladies for a prize of a
gold medal, valued at $3.50, contributed
by number of young men.
The target was made of pine wood
and its face painted white, with circles
an inch wide, and an inch apsrt,i paint
ed in black and red alternately. The
target was round and about twenty
four inches in diameter; it was affixed
to pointed staff which was planted in
the sod The distance for the arrows 70
be fired was thirty-fve feet. The bows
were about three feet six inches in
length with steel heads OF barbs. The
fog prevailing at the time ocoasioned a
delay for an hour and half. The sue,
cessful young lady was a resident OF
Medford Her arrow struck the target
at q distance of three and fourth
inches from the bulls eye.

Josh Billings in n New Role.

Josh Billings is now in the editors
chair, and his answers to correspondents
include the following: Fred-You amt
obliged to ask the glrPs mother If you
may 90 home with her from party; get
the girls endorsement; and 90 in; it is
proper enough to ask her to take your
arm, but you have no right to put your
arm around her waist unless you meet
bear on the road, and tben you are
supposed to relinquish your hold as soon
as the bear gets safely by.
Whip-You are right--mules live to O
lonely age, and i have known them my
self to live to one hundred years and
not half try. You are also right about
their being surefooted; l have known
them to kick boy twice in a second,
ten feet off.
Gertrude-Your inquiry stumps me.
The more / think about it, the more l
can tell. As near as l can recOllect now,
think don't know. Much might be
said both ways; neither may be right.
Upon the whole, / think l would or
wouldn't, just as think best or other
wise.
sPlutarch-You're mistaken; the Shak-
ers don't marry. Ii young Shakers fall
in love they are set TO weddiu onions,
which kures them forth worthy. Ican't
tell you how much it takes TO join the
Shakers, but believe the expenses used
to be, includiog having your hair cut
and learning TO dane, and slxty-hye
dollars.
Sportsman-Your inquiry is not ex-
actly in my line, cut haste to reply as

Preserving Ham. during summer

OF tie several modes in common use
the one most freQu ntlX prac;ised is,
Enclose the ham or shoulder in strong
paper, wrapping aud tying securely
aud then place the s. me in barrel OF
oats or dry ashes. Either kept in q
cool. dry place will protect from parasi
ties without injury to the meat; or, after
the ham is smoked, slice and trim as fol-
cooking, and then pack in stone jar
pressing each slice down firmly, giving
q slight shake of brown pepper between
each layer. Then extract from the rinds
and trimmings all the grease, and pour
il over the ham. Tie o cloth over the
jar, keep it in a cool place, and when
wanted remove the top layer to the
spider, till it is all used. It viii keep
in this way till new hams are ready. for
use.
