HOODS VINEYARD.--We were the
recipients of Il liberal sample of two
varieties of grapes, this week, from n,
+. Hoods'S grapery, the Concord and
Ives Scedling-they were large, lucious,
and perfect. He has turned his atten-
ton to the culture Of grapes, pears,
peaches, apples, etc, having choice and
very select varieties of each. His To-
cation, near the city, il admirably adj.
apted to the growth of most fruits
suitable to our trade and climate, aud
Mr., Hood is an expert in the business,
and, if he continues, will soon be
blessed with ample returns, from his
sales, to rccompcnse him for his labor.
1t is our intention to visit his place,
and speak more fully in reference to
his products and mode of culture.

CALIFoRNIA's BIGGEST NUGGET. How
much we owe to California Her precious
metals have enriched thousands of our fellow
citizens, and have proved the main stay of
America in times of national pecuniary en-
barrassment. Her mining industries have
given employment to myriads of mechanics
and laborers. She is the land of promise to
the fortune seeker But the Golden State has
lately sent us new treasure. Her last mug
get is DIR. WALKERS CALIroRNIA VINEGAR
BITTERs. The healtk-giving principles con-
tained in this curative are a more precious
boon than gold. In all affections Of the liver
and stomach, remittent and intermittent
fevers, rheumatism, and pulmonary diseases,
it may be relied upon. AS blood depurcnt
and invigorant it is unequalled, purifying the
circulation and infusing new vigor into the de-
bilitated frame. 1t conquers that most un-
yielding Of all mplaints-dyspepsia, and we
know of no other remedy that can accom-
plish this. Its entire freedom from ale oholic
spirit, which retards and neutralizes the effect
Of any medicine, and which forms
the basis of many of the pseudo bitters
and tonics, doubiy enhances its value
| to the sick. The papers of the United
States vie with one another in doing honor to
DIR. Walker We, too, add our voice, and
| say all honor to the man whose science and
skill have enabled him to draw from the eege-
table kingdom such balsam foE human suf-
| fering.

About Cats.

The Persian cat is often more silky in
appearance than the Angora, though
the color is different, being gray. Pure
white Persians, with blue eyes, are most
beautiful animals, but, strange to say,
they are always deaf. Those exhibited
at the recent cat show at the Crystal
Palace had this popularity. Some years
ago there was white Persian cat at
Allesbury Rectory, near Coventry, quite
deaf. OF her many kittens those quite
white were always deaf, but those with
the least color could hear well. The
Isle of Man produces the tailless cat, a
very curious variety. When these are
crossed with an ordinary tailed cat, the
progeny exhibits the intermediate stages
between tail and no tail.
A tortoise shell Tom cat is extremely
rare. Mr.. Broderip, writing in 1S47,
says: "a friend, not less noted for his
scientific labors than his fund of anec-
dotes, tells us that some twenty-five or
(by'r Lady, thirty years ago, tortoise
shell Tom cat was exhibited in Piccadilly,
where the Liverpool Museum was after
ward shown, and where dowagers and
spinsters thronged to the levee, as was
recorded in the caricatures of the day.
One hundred guineas says our philoso-
phical friend of many tales, was the
price asked; and saw many a longing,
coroneted coach at the door of the exhi-
bition room" Cats and spinsters are not
always associated, for at the Crystal
Palace show, of the prizes offered, thirty
two were gained by gentlemen, fifteen
by married ladies, and only four by
spinsters. Mohammed had favorite cat /;
that of Petrarch was at its death placed
in niche in his room and DR.. johnson
took delight in bringing home oysters
for his cat when it was i'll. Mrs. Griggs,
of Southampton Row, who died Jan. l6,
1892, left in her house eighty-six living,
and twenty-eight dead cats. She left
e150 year to maintain her black SER
want and the cats. No one could paint
cat like Gottfriet Mind, who died at
Bern in 1914. He actually had eight
hundred live ones, but these were order
ed to be killed, as some were believed to
be mad -Cham6ers's Journal
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1872-04-25

A STABLE INsTITUTIoN.--Just at the period
when all stable-men were complaining that the
horse-ointments of the day were unstable re-
medies, the MUSTANG LINIMENT made its en-
tree in Missouri, without any flourish of trum-
pets, and within one year, became the favorite
embrocation for the external distempers and
injuries of horses and cattle in all the Western
and Southern States. From that time to this,
it has never had rival in the estimation OF
accomplished horsemen nor is its household
reputation as cure for rheumatism, neural
gia, sore nipples and caked breasts, tumors,
mumps, sore throat, earache, toothache,
bruises, burns, wounds and sprains, a whit be-
hind its celebrity as horse Liniment. The
Mothers of America know its value, and ap.
ply it promptly to the external injuries of the
" rising generation" and in fact there is not q
city or township in the United States where
the MUSTANG LINIMENT is not regarded by
beth sexes and every class, as blessing to the
community.

BE Happy Now.

How old are you Twenty-Five
Thirty? Are you happy to-day +? Were
you happy yesterday Are you gener-
ally happy? If so, you have reason to
judge that you will be happy byvand-by.
Are you SO busy that you have no time
to be happy? and are you going to be
happy when you are old, and you have
not much to do? No; you will not.
You now have specimen of what you
will be when you are old. Look in the
face of to-day. That is about the aver
age. That will tell you what you are
going to be. What you are carrying
along with you is what you will have
by-and-by. If you are SO conducting
yourself that you have peace with God,
and with your fellow-men, and with
your faculties if every day you insist
that duty shall make you happy, and
you take as much time as is needful for
the culture of your social faculties, you
will not be exhausting life, and it will
be continually replenished. But if you
are saving every thing up till you get to
be an old man, habit will stand like a
tyrant, and say, "You would not enjoy
yourself before, and you shall not now"
How many men there are, who have
ground and ground to make money, that
they might be happy by-and-by, but
who, when they have got to be fifty or
sixty years old, had used up all the en-
joyable nerve that was in them. Dur
ing their early life they carried toll, and
economy, and frugality to the excess of
stinginess, and when the time came that
they expected JOY, there was no joy for
them.-Beecher.
