BEA SIR: Permit me- 70 eulogise your
wells Of water, for with honest motives I do
so. l nave recently been convinced Of its
superior medical virtues, in the relief af-
forded Mr.. Jared DoOlittle, who was a case OF
mine in conjunction with DR.. Dement,, Of
Huntsville, for twelve months before going
TO your Wells, suffering with Brights old
\ Disease OF the kidneys. a disease mat is
scarcely, If ever, relieved BY the aid of med
tca3 treatment, thereby producing general
Dropsy of the most formidable character.
/ had d~esp0nded of his ever being relieved,
when, to my aStonishmeus, in a very short
time, by the use of the water OF your wells,
he has been placed again On his feet, and is
now able, to some extent, TO prosecute his
daily avocatiOn. l feel no hesttancY, but
would urge upon patients suffering SINH
larly, to visit at once your Wells, as being
the surest means of regaintng their health
and vigor. GEORGE r. SULLIVAN, MD.
Read what the Hon. c. c. Clay, IT,, says in
regard to the curative properties of the
water:
HUNTSVILLE, ALA, September 5, 1855.
DEAE SIR; I had not known the luxury of
a good appetite for more than twelve
months when 1 reached the Wells. 1 suf-
! fered much from that common. but terrible
disease, Dyspepsia. Before a week elapsed
my appetite was vOraclous, and my diges-
ton equal to my appetite. Ny father was
suffering nom DrOpsy and Chronic Dtar-
rhea. In three weeks he was entirely re-
Iieved from the latter, and almost rom the
former 1 am satisfied by experiences and
observation tat the water has extraOrdin-
airy curative properties in DYSPEPSIA, DrOpsy
and diseases OF the bowels. 1t is also more
palitable, and much colder than most min
eral waters. I believe it possesses as much
virtue SIS any mineral water in this country,
and time VIII prove IL. &C. CLAY, JR-
HUNTSVILLE, ALA.,J July IS. 1866.
SIR: l feel pleasure In giving a certificate
TO the effect hat your watering place has
been of great benefit TO myself the short
time [ stayed there My complaint was
Chronic Jaundice, which was fast resolving
itself into DrOpsy. When 1 came to your
Wells my condition was truly sad, and my
hope of so early an eradication of so long
seated a distember was fOriOrn. Your waters
have certainly wonderful curative powers.
To all who have Dropsy, Chronic D~iarrhea,
Dyspepsia OF Kidney complaints cheerfully
your Wells, believing at the
same time in their efficacy in other diseases.

EARLY RIsING.-Every circumstance
contributes to render early rising adyisa-
BILE to those who are in the enjoyment of
health There is no time equal in beauty
and freshness to the morning, when ma.
ture has just parted with the gloomy
mantle which night had flung over her,
and stands before US like yourg bride.
The whole material world has a WITTY
ing appearance. The husbandman is up
at his labor; the forest leaves sparkle
with drops of crystal dew the flowers
raise their rejoicing heads toward the
sun; the birds pour forth their anthems
OF gladness, and the W ide face of creation
itself seems as if awakened and refreshed
by mighty slumber. All these things,
however, are hid from the eyes of the
sluggard; nature In her most glorious
aspect is to him sealed book; and,
while every scene around him is full of
beauty, interest and animation, he alone
is passionless and uninspired.

A RHENIsH LKGEND.-A Zurich cor

The legend saith that during the Cru

the holy war, leaving behind him a young
wife to whom he was but recently wed.
After long time he returned. He ar

nine o'clock on the bank of the Rhine.
opposite his castle. Impatient to behold
the wife from whom he had been SO long
absent he could not brook the DELAY Of
the boat or daylight, but plunged into
the rapid waters, attempted to swim
across, and was lost.
The disconsolate wife had an immense
bell of silver made, hung in the great
tower, and set apart a large sum of mon
ey, the interest of which was to SUPPORT
a person whose whole duty should be to
ring this bell every night at nine o'clock,
in commemoration Of the sad event which
occurred at thai hour, ana as it hapAen-

replaced by one of baser metal, which is

nine o'clock every night, and will be by

paorECTIFG STRAWBERRIES

/ In the Northern States winter protec-
ton to strawberry plants should always
be given to insure full crop of fruit. 1t
may not always be positively necessary,
but as no one can tell in ad vance what the
winter will be-whether very cold or
mild-it is best to be on the safe side,
and this means will give protection to
plants that are likely to require it. Very
little will answer the purpose, as We do
not expect or desire the exclusion of
frost, but merely prevent the frequent
and alternate freezing and thawing of the
plants and soil in autumn and spring.
Shade is all that is required to accom-
plish our object and a single layer of
dark colored paper would answer every
purpose, If it could BE- used as readily and
cheaply as other materials.
The embryo fruit stems are formed
within the crbwns of plants in autumn,
and the alternate freezing and thawing to
which they are often subjected during
cold weather, weakens, if it does not en-
tirely destroy, vitality. There is, how
ever, great difference in varieties, some
being more hardy than others, requiring
less protection but we have never grown
sort that would not yield enough more
fruit to pay for light covering of coarse
hay during winter We usually apply
hay, straw, or leaves to the depth of one
or two inches; little more or less will
make no material difference; only have it
spread evenly, SO that every plant will
be fully and completely shaded Mulch
ing should not be applied until the
weather is cool and the ground begins to
freeze for if put on earlier the plants
are likely to be injured by being too
warm, and field mice will collect and
make nests and burrows where they are
not wanted.
In localities where there is generally
heavy fall of snow, mice often do great
injury by feeding upon the roots an
leaves OF strawberry plants in winter.
These pests may be destroyed by using
poisoned corn or wheat, although this is
not very safe method, where fowls are
allowed to run in tue same field. Wheat.
oat or rye straw, usually attract mice, on
account of the grain that it contains and
the same objections may be urged against
corn stalks; but coarse bog, or low prair
lie hay or leaves, contain little or nothing
upon which mice will feed; hence the
preference usually given to these ma
tcrials.
