so fortunate as to have It on hand, and in

their slender stocks by selling doses-a
spoonful each-for dollar. Many paid
ten dollars for bottle, when tho regular

A Sound Mind.

Health OF Mind is very closely depen.
dent upon health of body. The brain Ia
the organ Of thought and feeling, as truly
as the eye Is the organ Of seeing. Thus
the physical state of the brain in a large
measure determines what the man is, both
morally and intellectually. The health
and condition Of the brain, 10 very great
extent, are proportionate to the health
and condition Of the system generally,
The brain demands moro abundant nutri.
ton than any other part of the body.
This Is owing to the peculiarly rapid
molecular changes which It's substance
undergoes, in the course OF emotional or
mental action. The brain Is also remark
ably susceptible to tho presence Of i'm.
purities in blood. From all this VIC see
the valuabieness of medicine such az
DR.. Gottlicb Fisch's Bitters, which both
stimulates the digestion, thus furnishing
abundant nutrition, and, at the same time,
stimulates tho excretories, thus insuring
pure nutrition!

MRS. STowE AT HER WoRK.-The most popular female writer of America, whose great novel struck a chord of universal sympathy throughout the civilized world has habits of composition peculiarly her own, and unlike those belonging to any author of whom we have record. She croons, so to speak, over her writings. and it makes very little difference to her wheth- CT there is crowd of people about her or whether she is alone during the compost tion of her books. "Uncle Toms Cabin was wholly prepared for the press in a little wooden house in Maine, from week to week, while the story was coming out in a Washington newspaper. Most of it was written by the evening lamp, on g pine table, about which the children of the family were gathered together, coming their various lessons for the next day. Amid the busy hum of earnest voices, con- stantIy asking questions of the mother, in- tent on her world renowned task, Mrs. Stowe wove together those thrilling chap ters which were destined to find readers in so many languages throughout the globe. No work of similar importance, so far as we know, was ever written amid so much that seemed hostile to literary composition. -Fields " Yesterdays aoith AathpTg."

 The house, respectable in it's appearance for those early times, was ill dimensions 40 by 50, of suitable height for galleries, built in plain style, without any external dec oration, except the then fashionable triang ular cornices or laps over the doors and windows. The inside finish was equally plain and remained unpainted. The out side was painted about this time, with what was called peach blow color, which must have appeared glaring contrast to the sombre hue of the thick and lofty trees which then surrounded it; so dense, that in coming from the south it was not seen until entering the lower part of the triang- ular green, now in use, and cleared of the incumbrance of lofty hemlocks and wide spreading naples, etc.; and the surface thus cleared exposed still more stubborn article, to be removed in due time-rocks, deeply imbedded, had lain undisturbed since creation, until they felt the force of powder, which they could not resist; yet, some remain as specimen of the once rough appearance of the surface. In l79s, the house was painted white, and retained slight appearance of it when taken down in 1874, having stood about 55 years.
 The congregation was, for some time after the house was finished. or in, a con dition to occupy, summoned to assemble on the Sabbath, and on other occasions, by blowing horn, or some other signal un- derstood and authorized by vote of the town. Suitable persons were appointed aud required to see that every one, who had not satisfactory excuse, shonld regu larly attend public divine worship in the sanctuary, and, also, that every family be furnished with Bible.

A Monster Relic.

The farm of Mr. Andrew Mitchell, about one mile from Otisville Orange Co.,, N. Y. is, and has been for weeks, visited by very many people. The attraction is the huge aud almost entire skeleton of Mastodon, which has been found by piecemeal in a swamp on his land since January last, and w hich has been put together by professor from Boston, Mass The farm which has so suddenly become famous was purchased by Mr. Mitchell some time since, and in January he hired man to dig muck from a swamp to place on the uplaEds, he him. self being engaged in NewYork. The man had excavated to the depth of four feet when he came upon an enormous bone, shaped like rib. He stopped work and informed Mir. Mitchell of his discovery, who thinking it must have belonged to some monstrous animal, directed that deeper and more extended digging be done. At a depth of fifteen feet the pekvis, head and other large bones were found. Search has been continued until almost the entire skeleton has been exhumed, and the scientific gentle man from Boston says 1t is much larger than the famous remains in the Boston Museum, which was also found in this county, and which was the largest known specimen of these extinct mammalia. The skeleton is in barn on MT. Mitchell's farm, and no train stops at this station but brings numbers of curious or scientifically in ! clined persons, on their way to view the monster. The upper jaw and main portion of the head weighs about five hundred pounds, and measures three feet seven inches across the top. There are four teeth in the upper jaw, two on each side. The back teeth extend seven inches along the jawbone, and are four inches across. The openings where the tusks have been are three feet and eight inches deep, and eight inches in circumference. The vertsbre was found in forty pieces, but lying all together, while the pelvis was taken out whole and uniniured. The channel where the spinal cords lay when the monster was alive is five inches in circumference - Among the missing bones are the tusks, the lower jawbone, and those of the hind legs. One bone of leg that has been found weighs alone over $50 pounds When the skeleton is reconstructed, it will meas. ure fourteen feet from the bottom os its feet to the top of it's head, and over twenty. five feet from head to tail
 Work is steadily prosecuted in the exca vating in search of the missing bones. Great difficulty is met in the filling in ol water, a pump of considerable capacity being steadily worked by horse power tc keep the pit clear,
 A singular incident connected with the skeleton is, that in its stomach was found Q quantity of uudigested matter. Among 1t were freshlooking and very large leaves of odd form, and blades of strange grass of extreme length, varying from an inch t6 three inches in width, and looking as il freshly cropped from the earth. The spo where the remains were found is low; marshy ground.
 Parties in New York have already opened negotiations with Mr. Mitchell for the pur chase of the skeleton. and he has refused $l, 800 for it.-N ?. Tunes.

Sharon.
 The great topic of conversation with us here just now, is over the marriage of a couple of our young folks last evening. Mr. Andrew J. Wheeler and Miss Sarah Whitford. The ceremony was performed in the M. E, Church, the Rev. Robt. Hunt presiding, and who performed the cere- mony. evidently to the satisfaction of the parties most interested and to all who wit messed il. At seven o'clock, the bell called the parties into the church, where were gathered hosts of our young people and not few older ones, among whom were number of old bachelors, who no doubt were lamenting the sad fate which had befallen them, and which was brought forcibly to mind by this occasion. All passed off well and were an adept at the business, would be glad to tell how beau tiful the bride looked, dressed as she was, in pure white with white veil. but alas though Q great admirer of beauty, and beautiful things, my powers of description are not adequate for this occasion. and will leave that part for some one else to de- scribe. Our merchants are atl busy get ting in their new spring goods, and every thing looks as if the people of Sharon need not suffer for the want of dry goods and groceries this season while the stamps last. Gager Brothers are cleaning up their store. painting and whitewashing, and with their large stock of new, substantial and fancy goods, really make things shine. Success to the boys for they are good fellows and we'll worthy of it........Our friend l. N. Bartram seems very busy this spring, and think from wha; can learn, that he is likely to have heavy jobs in building and repairing blast furnaces this season, at the business of which he has proced himself master.
