taken from the will OF the late Horace

teen servants emancipated by secession,

Of my property on the Sd Of April, 1865,
S2O0.OOO. ! could continue the list to

been. but Tor which could have left all
my children a handsome competency.

A MELANCHOLY BREAK
DOWN.-There are lively break downs
that make an audience laugh, andt
are sad and soTowtul break downs that
make the kind hearted grieve. To the
latter class belongs the cneryation Of
body and mind which is usually called
general debility or nervous weak
ness, and which, when neglected, too
often terminates in atrophy and death.
\ wholesome medicated stimulant is the
one thing needed in cases Of this deS-
cription. and science and experience
unite in pointing to PLANTATION BT-
TIERS as the the true specific. The fact
that it combines the properties OF an in

series of experiments, instituted to
test the average loss in weight by dry

fifth, and wheat one-fourteenth by the
process From this, the statement is
made, that farmers will make more mon

at seyelty-fye cents than the following
Summe at one dollar bushel, and that
wheat Il S1.32 in December Is equal to
SI.50 for the same wheat in the June
following. This estimate is made on
the basispt interest at seven per cent.
and takes no account of the loss from
the deprfdations of vsrmin. These
facts are worthy Of consideration.
