WentwOrth's Location,

Considerable excitement has pre-
vailed in this place for about two
weeks past, owing to the fact that p.
b. Hildreth, agent for the Howe Shut
tie Sewing Machine, has been here for
the purpose of settling up the ma
chimes for which he took orders a few
weeks since, and some person had the
wonderful power Of discernment in
such degree that they could detect
the rascal in the man and the hunabuq
in the machine, in consequence of
which many of the ladies who had
ordered the machines refused to take
them. In fact, one virtuous lady de-
clared in her wrath that she shonld
''forbid the fellows bringing one of his
old machines into the house." Wheth-
er she did or not is best known to Mr..
Hildreth. We will say however that
so far as we know the Starnal things"
have given satisfaction.
We are having very cold weather
at pres mt, in fact have had a little
snow fall this morning. Our noun
tains which of late have been clothed
in robes Of the most beautiful scarlet
and gold, are beginning to change it
for one Of more sober brown. Sport
ing parties are turning their faces
honeward there are but few of them
left at present.

Circus day, like the 4th Of July,
passed off with an overflow of Coun-
try Cousins coming to town. The
show Cousins and circus was tolera-
bly, good. The attendance was large,
and but a few DRINKS were noticeable,
the most CONSPICUOUS occupying box

of over 600 pages, giving sketch. of

Arrangements are being made for
holding Fair, for the Counties Of
Essex, Caledonia and Coos, here in
the fall of 1874. Membership tickets
are about to be issued, to be sold at
$1.00 each. These tickets entitle the
holder to enter articles for exhibition
and to admission to the Fair ground
during the three days of the Fair.
Fifteen hundred membership tickets,
will be issued at once and distributed
in the various towns in the three
Counties for sale. If this number is
sold, the success of the undertaking
is insured. If sufficient number of
tickets are not sold to warrant the
undertaking, the money will be re-
funded for what are sold and the I'M
dertaking abandoned. The location
is good one for the combined Fair
of the three Counties. The p. & O.
K. r. will be i'll operation atfordng
easy access from this vicinity, as it
now does from Caledonia. The
amount of premiums moneywhich is to
be $1,000, will be such as to allow of
liberal premiums for all cases of ar
ticles put on exhibition, and the re-
sources of the territory embraced in
the limits of the Counties mentioned
one such as Will afford an excellent
exhibition. We are persuaded that
the plan is practicable and but needs
the present aid of some of the leading
farmers to make it grand success.

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consump-
ton, cured by this preparation, are public
ly known, so remarkable as hardly to be be-
lieved, were they not proven beyond dispute
AS a remedy 1t is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs,
the forerunners Of moro serious disease, 1t saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering
not to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack Of Pulmonary Affections,
which are easily met at first, but which become
incurable, and too often fatal, If neglected. Ten
der lungs need this defence; and 1t is unwise to
be without it. AS a safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat
and Chest of Childhood, CHERRY PICTORIAL
is invaluabe for, by its timely use, multi
titudes are rescued from premature graves, and
saved to the love and affection centred on them.
1t acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound and notwithstanding sleep. No
ono will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain
full Bronchitis, when they know how easily
they can be cured.
Originally the product OF long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently re-
lied upon as possessing all the virtues 1t has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

There may be too many COWS kept in one

high as forty cows, all in milk, and find they
did not pay because ! could not care for
them as they should be- Especially in
winter COWS demand great care to pay well

Der mentioned, but | think that was too
many-6fteen cows are enough for one man
to care for, and can be made to pay better
than a greater number When cows are
turned to drink in large numbers they sell
dom all drink, and if you leave it to help
to care for them they will be neglected -
Drink is one of the most essential things
for COWS feed your COWS regularly and
not too much at a time card and pet
them. Have your man do this regularly
and he can find plenty to do from 4 o'clock
in the morning until g in the evening with
fifteen cows.
People do not pay enough for COWS
they want to buy them too cheap, and they
always have poor cows. want cows that
will give from sixteen to twenty quarts a
day; you can get them by paying good
price. Advertise for them and you will
soon find that kind; buy them, aud you
will not be sorry for so doing. There is a
profit in good cows, loss in poor ones.

Men have always thought that religion
was one thing and goodness different
thing So they still think, and many
Christians suppose n religious man to be a
man who worships and prays great deal,
and has a great deal to do with ceremonies
sacramonts, creeds and churches. But
Jesus, when he first began TO preach, and
went into Nazareth, and took the old parcb-
mont roll to read in the synagogue, selected
the passage which said, The spirit of the
Lord is upon me, because he has anointed
me to preach the gospel to the poor. to heal
the broken-hearted, to give delivernncc to
The captiyes, sight to the blind, and to set
at liberty the slaves" On Mercy. and not
sacrifice" was his iavorito text. The Sab
bath, he said, was made for man; not man
for the Sabbath. So, too, the church was
made for man; not man for the church
Worship was made for man; not man for
