The following important testimonial
from our friend, Col Mott, Of the Court
OF Claims, will be interesting to many o.
our readers who suffer from that distress
ing complaint, the asthma a:
WASHINGTON, d. G., JAN, 1869.
MEssRs. w. H. FARNHAM q Co.: !
deem it my duty to certify to you the
effects Of your valuable asthma remedy.
am afflicted with chronic spasmodic
asthma beginning in early childhood,
battling some of the best medical talent
in America and England-eluding the
three schools of allopathy, homeopathy
and hydropathy, and singularly return
ing after On intermission of fifteen years
Your remedy, forced upon my sceptical
attention by an intelligent friend, has
given to me complete and wonderful re-
lief. 1 cannot say that the disease is
cured, but it is reduced to symptoms. I
may add, what I do not notice in your
statement, that the remedy produces no
ordinary medicinal effect-no nausea, no
counter irritation ; the paroxysm simply
ceases.
Since relieved by it, have brought it
to the attention of several asthmatic suf-
ferers. Among these I may note Judge
DIN, of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and ex Secretary Stan
ton. With Judge DIN the disease was
slight, and the relief has been complete
and apparently permanent. With Secre-
tary Stanton the disease was deep-seated
and severe, and the remedy has been less
effective as permanent cure, but equally
complete in giving to him, upon each
application, entire relief.
l am, very respectfully,

CIRCULAR LETTER.
ADDRESSED TO ALL WHO ARE INTERESTED
IN THE GIRLS OF THE NORTHWEST.

1t is very easy matter to sheer at the
"Girl of the Period !" the discourse upon
her frivclity, lack Of perseverance and
general "shiftlessnesS." 1t is less easy,
but not at all an impossible matter, to cure
her of these faults. Is not this last the
more excellent, as it is the more generous
way? How can we better begin this
cure than by proving to the Periods
much berated Girl that we set no higher
value upon any member of our complex
American society than upon herself that
we believe her worthy of the best we have
to offer that we regard her faults not as
inherent, but rather as the result of a
defective training, for which-"not to
put too fine point upon it"-she is to be
pitied and we are to be blamed? We
believe the common sense of the American
has arrived at the conclusion and that
higher education for women is demanded
by the spirit of the age.
Perhaps this sentiment has nowhere
found more correct exponent than E. o.
Haven, LII. D., to whose efforts women
owe their admission to the foremost Uni
versitY in the United States, that of Mich
igan, and more recently to the North
western University at Evanston, near
Chicago, of which DIR. Haven is now
President Nor has any attempt to
realize this new and noble public senti-
ment been so commensurate with its
progressive character, as the establish
ment of the Evanston College for Women
under the control of Woman's Board of
| Trustees, and intended to supplement the
| advantages of the Northwestern University
by supplying instruction in the Modern
Languages and the Fine Arts, lessons in
the Household Arts, Lectures, &C., and by
furnishing to young Ladies from abroad
a pleasant home, while they avail them
| selves of the double advantages of Uni
versity and College.
| To foster the interests of this new in
stltution, an Educational Association has
been formed, OF which Mrs. A. H. Hoge,
(whose name is endeared to all loyal
hearts by her devotion to the "Boys in
Blue" throughout the Great Rebellion
is the President, and of which prominent
Ladies, connected with the various de-
nominations, are officers Under the
auspices of this Association it is proposed
to hold at Evanston, on next Fourth of
July, a Grand Celebration,at which time
the Corner Stone of the new building
will be laid orations will be pronounced
by some of our most celebrated country
men,and Banquet worthy of the occasion
will be served.
Notice is hereby given of the pre-emp-
ton OF the Fourth of July in the interests
of the Girls of the Northwest.

the merchant, who communicates this
fact, "than to stand before the individual

The Milwaukee Sentinel says very
much of the growing wheat in Milwau-
kee county shows the effect of the too
dry weather which has prevailed for
some time, and stands rather thin upon
the ground, besides exhibiting quite a
light growth Of straw. The heavy rains
which fell early in the spring, seemed to
have the effect to mat the ground down,
and subsequent showers have not been of
sufficient magnitude to loosen up the soil.
Although the grain is now heading out,
timely rains may yet lengthen out the
straw somewhat, but it will be short at
best, and it is not possible that the crop
will be full one.

WONDERFUL SAGACITY OF A DOG.-The
Portland (Me) Press says: ''The follow
ing story, strange as it may appear, is
vouched by several witnesses whose testi-
mony is unlmpeachable. A short time
ago a female Newfoundland dog was in
the habit of coming TO the house of "a
lady in this city who would throw to
it pieces of cold meat, which the dog
would eat, and, having satisfied its hun
ger, go away again. So confirmed did
this habit become, that at certain hour
daily the lady would expect the dog, and
the animal would put in an appearance.
A few days ago, before feeding her, the
lady said to her, why don't you bring
me one of your puppies ? repeating the
question several times as she stood at the
window, the dog looking at her in the
face with an expression of intelligence,as
if it understood every word the lady said.
The next day, to the lady's astonishment,
at the usual hour, the dog returned and,
10 and behold was accompanied by q
little puppy. The lady fed both dogs,
and then took up the puppy into the
and did not return for three days. At
the end of that time the dog again ap-
peared, when, feeding it, the lady said,
Next time bring all your puppies, / want
to see them and yesterday morning, sure
enough, the dog returned accompanied by
three Newfoundland pups. Several of
the neighbors saw the whole transaction,
and declared that they considered this
one of the most wonderful proofs of the
OF the dog they have ever known
Where the dog came from and to whom
it belonged is not known, but we have
the name of the lady and also of those
who were eyewitness to the occurrences
