sPNEAD THE TRUTH.-Some medical
mon insist that it is undigniicd to advertise
remedy, however valuable it may be. Qncer
reasoning this. 1t is like saying that an arti.
clio which the world needs should be hid in a
corncr-that benefits and blessings may be
too WILDLY dif1used- that the means OF pro.
tecting and restoring health should be close
monopoly, and not accessible to all. Tho
argument is bad. It is worse than that; it is
inhun.an. Suppose HOsTETTERs STOMACH
BTrTERS-an absolute specific for dyspepsia,
bilioasneas and nervous debility-had never
been known beyond the repertoire of the
faculty. what would have been the conse-
quence3 Instead OF curing and invigoratine
millions, the good effects Of the preparation
would have boon confined to com parativo
lew. There is the highest authority for say
ing tnat hight should not be hid under a
bushei; that whatever is excellent should be
placed az a city on hill, where all men can
take cognizance of it. It is upon this pripci-
pie that tho Bitters have been advertised and
continue to BIO advertised in every newspaper
OF any prominence in the Western hemis-
phcre, and that tho spontaneous testimonials
III ITS favor have been translated into all
written languages. Thousands enjoy perfect

TIE TOBACCO CROP has been cut and housed
and much of it is already cured 1t has been
all along predicted that the yield Of this year
would be inferior in quality and short in guam
tity. and now that it has been gathered in, the
result only too palpably vcriteS the prediction.
In the outset, full crop could not lie pitched
for want Of plants; the fields suffered severely
from drought later in the scason: and now, ut
the critical period, that great terror Of the
planter and fatal enemy Of the weed, the frost,
has done its part towards the general mis-
fortunes.
Some of the fields in the low grounds, were
badly damaged by the fros,S, some two weeks
ago: but greater loss than this WAS sustained
because of the cold snap at that time alarming
many farmers who takug counsel Of their fears
cut their tobacco green. As well as We Gin
gather, great deal OF the crop has been thus
cut before it was ripe, and of course, the result
will be large proportion Of dark and green
leaf in market next year, with comparatively
small quantity Of good working qualities and
bright yellow.
Some farmers who We're very fortunate in
pitching their crops early, have made and
cured fine tobacco; but we think they arc the
exception. Register.
