to arrive at a correct and true valuation for
the next ten years. What is that evidence |?
II is the valuation of the several cities, towns,
and plantations for the last ten years. But
they may be controlled by evidence. There
fore he did not agree with Mr.. Baker that it is
simply the amount of property of city, town,
or plantation of the State on the first of
March, 1869, because if that property has since
been destroyed the Valuation Committee may
take evidence of that fact. 1t may enter into
their consideration and make change of
valuation of that town at any time up to the
time when they make their first report. They
are simply to give full, fair valuation at the
present time of any city, town, or plantation.
He thought this well enough, and that it did
not cover any more than the bare effects.
Therefore he did not see any necessity for the
first clause of the amendment.
The resolve went a step further. They are
not only to look at the past and present, but
they are to tell us what the valuation of Ban
gor or any other city will be in 1875, or any
years in the future. They are to tell whether
there will be any increase or diminution in
the valuation of any city or town in the flu
ture. This is all imagination. There is
nothing tangible; it is merely speculative.
Is then the Valuation Commission to take
into consideration the speculative immagina-
ton of gentlemen in relation to the location
of some city in the State, as contemplated by
this resolve, and upon that determine what
its valuation is to be in the futureY He
hoped the good sense of the House would
not allow the State Valuation Committee to
take into consideration matters of that kind.
II so, gentlemen could bid farewell to the re-
port OF this valuation committee during the
life time of the Legislature Of the State of
| Maine. ~ AJAX ssl0tA ia..sss8 9as,

The apple crop u immense this season.
Il is not confined TO some favored locali-
Tics as it has been for several years just
passed, but abounds wherever apple trees
stand--ln orchards, by the roadsidcs and
in the woods. On the old trees. where
living branch is LEFT. il is loaded with
fruit. and on young seedlings. by the dus'
~ HIGHWAY, the small. old fashioned cider
apples are glistening in untold numbers
i'm the sun.
What is to be done with them? is the
question often asked.
We have report from New Hamp-
shire town, to-day. long famous for It's
fair and solid apples for exporting. that
those OF second quality arc selling Tor five
cents per bushel-thc purchaser gathering
them himself From another town in
tina, State. we are informed that wind
falls" cannot be sold nj any price.
We have sent one hundred barrels, a.
ready, to the cider-mil, at fifty cents per
barrel, which barely pays for collecting
and carting them away two miles
But with all this abundance, and the
low prices which the farmer receives, the
printer of this sheet informs us that he
pays lor ordinary apples in Boston. forty
rents per peck, or Sl.45 per bushel, and
$500 per barrel
Even after the markets are supplied
and the cider mills are gorged, there
will be an immense surplus to be disposed
of. What can be done with them? is the
anxious inquiry OF thousandS.-N reply
Use more OF them aS foot in the family.
The apple i valuable both on account oil
fl, uu,ritive and medical qualities. As a
gentle laxative they arc Invaluable for
children, and when ripe ought to be used
freely by them. An exclusive diet of baS
cd apples and milk is recorded aS having
cured cases OF consuml ton, and other dis
eases caused by too rich food. Il is stat
ca upon high authority. that there is no
other fruit in general use that contains 80
much proportion of uuuinenj. 1t has
been a,ccrtaincd in Germany, by long
comsc of experiments, tina, men will per
form more labor. endure more fatigue,
and bc more healthy, on IN apple diet
than ON potato.

JUNIPER BERRIES.
MopE or PREpARArIoy.--Buchu, in va
cpo, Juniper Berries, by distillation, to
form fine gin. Cubebs extracted by
displacement with spirits obtained from
Juniper Berries; very little sugar is used,
and small proportion of spirit. 1t is
more palatable than any now in use.
Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of
a dark color. 1t is plant that em;ts its
fragrance; the action of flame destroys
this tits active priDciple) leaving dark
and glutinous decoction Mine is the co.
lor of ingredients. The Buchu in my
preparation predOminates the smallest
quantity of the other ingredients are add
ed, to prevent fermentation upon in-
spection it will be found not TO be Tinct-
ure, as made in Pbarmacopea, nor is it
a Syrup-and therefore can be used in
eases where fever or inflammation exists.
In this you have the knowledge Of the IN
gradients and the mode of preparation.
Hoping that you will favor it with
trial, and that upon inspection it will
meet with your apprabation,
