This is at least true of the old method of treating
the long abused and much abused human body
1t is no longer considered wise to put patient to
the torture in order to cure him of disease in
Which pain is already undermining the energies
OF his system. True science ranges itself on the
side of nature and endeavors to assist her in her
fight against disease This is the province of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, the most approved tonic
ever advertised in this country. It may be rec
commended as a fall medicine, par excellence
for it is in the fall that bousness, dyspepsia and
malarious feyers are especially prevalent. The
frame, exhausted by the heats of summer, is re-
laxed and feeble at its close, and requires, we
may say demands artificial assistance. Afford it
that assistance in occasional doses of Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, and the evils referred to may be
escaped. Throughout the far west, and on the
steaming alluvia of the southern rivers all the vari
cites of periodical fever are probably rife to-day
Had a course of Hostetters Bitters been commenced
by the sufferers month ago, 4. e., before the I'M
healthy set in, seven-eights of them would in
all probability be in their usual health at the
time. So much for want of forecaste. So much for
not keeping in the house, and using daily, the best
safeguard against epidemic and endemic fevers.

therefore be sure that the article you buy genuine
and verified by the proper trade marks. The true
article can only be obtained in bottles Beware of

Two Persons Killed by Runaway
Accident.

A dispatch from Sioux City, Iowa,
dated Saturday, says: "About nine
o'clock yesterday morning Chas Davis,
residing near Dakota City, Nebraska,
accompanied by his wife, was out rid
ing short distance from town, when
the horse became frightened and started
off at fearful pace. The beast was
perfectly unmanageable, and after hav-
ing run nearly half mile succeeded in
overturning the buggy, throwing the
occupants to the ground in a violent
manner, seriously injuring Mrs. Davis,
from the effects of which she died in q
short time. Mr.. Davis struck his head
on stone and was rendered insensible,
in which condition he remained for
over an hour. He is very low, and it is
thought he will probably die.

Remarkable Voyaging of Canal Boat.

From the Portage (yyis.) Register.
The Darwin, of Philadelphia, is the
| name Of a merchantmen now tied up in
the canal, at this city. The boat is con
structed something like an Erie canal
boat and is propelled by steam A brief
statement of her career since her CON
struction, will strike many With wonder
at the capabilities of the water system
of the country. From Capt. E. Meyer,
we learn that the Darwin was built some
two years ago on the Susquehanna riv-
er, some forty miles above Harrisburg.
When she left the ship yard she went
down to Havre de Grace, in Maryland,
on the Chesapeake Bay, crossed over
the bay to Chesapeak City when she en-
tered the Chesapeak and Delaware Ca
nal and proceeded to the Della
ware river; then up that great
river to Philadelphia thence to Boy
dentown where she entered the Rari-
tan canal a; thence down the river to
Newark Bay, and thence to New York
city; up the Hudson to Albany, where
she entered the Erie canal; thence to
Buffalo, through Lakes Erie, ST Clair,
Huron, and Michigan to Green Bay;
thence up the Lower Fox, through
Lake Winnebago to Oshkosh thence
up the Wolf to the Upper Fox, and up
that river to the canal which connects
that stream with the Wisconsin river.
When she leaves here she goes down
the Wisconsin to Prairie du Chen, and
from thence down the Mississippi to
Carlo, and up the Ohio to Louis
vile, eventually will bring around to
Pittsburgh, which is not very far dis
tant from where she started.

Dry Earth for Pig Sites.

A correspondent Of the Country Gen
tleman tells us how friend raised pigs
in the city:
Box sites were put up in covered
building in the rear of the yard of his
city residence. A large quantity of
well dried friable loan was obtained
and placed under cover, where it would
keep dry. At the farthest corner of
each sty sufficient straw was placed to
make comfortable bed for piggy to
lie on. He never defiles his bed if he
can help it. Over the rest of the sty,
and especially near the feeding troughs,
dry earth was spread over the boarded
floor. At first it was thought necessa-
ry to clean out the sites every day, and
put IN fresh supply OF dry earth, but
1t was soon found out that shovelful
of dry earth thrown every morning and
night over what was in the sly, entirely
disinfected it of all odors, and so OBJ
waited the necessity of cleaning out
ftener than once a week.
[ have visited the place several times,
and found no bad smell whatever aris-
ing from the sites, nor has any one
either i'll the residence or among the
neighbors adjoining, complained of
any annoyance therefrom. The pigs
seem to thrive we'll, are healthy and
quiet. One sly containing several
young pigs is kept entirely covered with
several inches of dry earth, no straw
being allowed them, and they appear
to delight to roll and root about in it.
1t might be worth while to try the
application of this same principle on
more extensive scale in stables, cow
byres and poultry houses in the cities
and towns. Even in the country, if the
earth could be properly dried, and

DunuIng in Church.

Religious proprieties, as we'll as So
cial amenities, seem liable to be sud
denly forgotten in the South. At Mo
bile, Sunday or two ago, a relentless
landlord, taking up the collection in
church, passed the plate to delinquent
tenant, and, as the latter put in his
mite, in an undertone demanded rent
bill a little overdue. The debtor in
stantly and pleasantly made answer:
"You must be a id fool to think I'm
going to pay rent in church" There
upon an unseemly debate aroused the
congregation, tho landlord concluding
with flnging the plate, money and all,
at the head of the tenant, who straight
way, in return, threw the contents of a
capacious snuff-box into the face of his
prosecutor.

Correspondence of the New York World
SIR: Among the various methods sug-
gested for q cheap motive power on the
Erie Canal none seems to me as good or
cheap as my own. Having devised a
practical method of utilizing this mo-
tive power on railroads, | find that it
is equally valuable on canals.
l have, in the course of an extended
series Of experiments within the last
two years, discovered that power can
be transported twenty miles, in suita-
bic pipes, with loss due to friction of
less than l per cent. With this great
fact established beyond a question, all
the rest is easy. am satisfied that an
air pipe can be placed along the banks
OF the canal between Albany and Buffa-
10, extending the entire distance. and at
every ten miles attached to reservoirs.
to be constructed as ordinary cylinder
boilers, and of such capacity as to sup
ply the propelling boats with their
charge OF compressed air.
The propelling boats may have q de-
slrable power, from five to fifty horse,
and tow two to twenty canal boats.
The compressed air can be worked
otfln engines very similar likely other
devices-the details of which are not vet
ready for the public.
The cost Of operating the Erie canal
can be reduced TO the small charge for
my motive power and the interest
on congresses, pipes, and reservoirs.
| The pressure need never exceed 200
pounds IN the pipes and reservoirs.
Upon the cl ose Of navigation this
power can be sold to the cities along
the line, and used through the ordin-
airy steam-engine III place of steam. I
am now building an air-dummv to
operate city railroads, but the principle
will extend to all railroads.
Two eminent scientists, one in New
York and one in PENNSYLVANIA, are
now engaged in constructing boats to
be moved with compressed air, whose
Inventions will ere long be made public
by demonstration, and [ have great con-
fidence that the time is not very distant
when the canal commerce of or State
may be trebled, defying competition
from all other lines and modes of transit,
and aid the inauguration of that revol-
utlon which is sure to come from the
use of this new motive power.

gloss and freshness Of yotth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray OF falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often SO I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

Loss Is ALMOST CERTAIN to attend long
delay in threshing out grain, after it
has been gathered from the field.
Stored in the barn, it is subject to the
ravages of fire and vermin, and if in
the stack, it is subject to injury from
the same causes, and, in addition to
these, liable to mold and dampness, or
to be scattered by the tempest. There
IS no time when grain will thrash more
easily than when it first comes from the
shock, if properly cured, and at no
time will it be in better condition for
storing or for market.
A CORRESPONDENT Of the Western
Rural asks If it is necessary to furnish

Not that they will not live without it,
for we have known them to be without

suffer but little if any Inconvenience.
But we have also noticed that where
they have access to good, pure water,
no animal resorts to it with more regu-
larity, or partakes of it with more seem
ing satisfaction. Especially do we
think it important that ewes with I'M
weaned lambs should have water with
IN easy reach.
