Experience has shown that the more
rapidly lumber can be seasoned in open
air the better the quality, and the less
liable it is to be affected by the varia-
bleness of the atmosphere. During the
months Of June, July and August the
air is drier than at any other period,
and consequently better adapted to
seasoning lumber. Planks or boards
should be piled up under sheds open
ON all sides, to allow of a free circulation
Of air /; in no case ought lumber to be
subjected to the rays of the sun or rain
and it should be elevated two feet above
the ground. If the shed has a floor it
will be much the better. As soon as the
moist weather of the fall months COM
mences the sheds should be inclosed ON
all sides, and opened only on clear, dry
days. Lumber well stuck up" under
sheds of this kind will dry out in two
seasons, and retain all the natural
strength and elasticity of the timber.
The bark should always be removed
from white oak and hickory. The
growing scarcity of lumber necessi-
tates more care in seasoning if we
would prevent prices advancing too
rapidly.

CALIFORNIA's BIGGEST NUGaET.-How
much we owe to California; Her pre-
cious metals have enriched thousands of
our fellow-citizens, and have proved the
main-stay Of America in times of nation
al pecuniary embarrassment. Her min
ing 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 a new treasure. Her last nugget
is DIR. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BTTERs. The health-giving principles
contained in this curative are IL more
precious boon than gold. In all affec-
tions of the liver and stomach, remittent
and intermittent ~fevers, rheumatism, and
pulmonary diseases, il may be relied
upon. As a blood depurent and invig-
GRANT it is unequaled, purifying the cir
culation and infusing new vigor into the
debilitated frame. II conquers that
most %unyielding of all complaints, dys-
pepsia, and we know OF nc other remedy
that can accomplish this. It's entire
freedom from alcoholic spirit, which re-
tards and neutralizes the effect OF any
medicine, and which forms the basis Of
many of the pseudo bitters and %tonics,
doubly 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 vegetable kingdom such a balsam
for human suffering.-ICom.

PAIN KILLIR-ITS MERITS.
AsIATIc CHOLERA IN CHINA.

TuSacnow, China, Aug. u.
Messrs. PERRY DAvis& Son:
Dear Substituting n long residence In China, /
have used your invaluable Pain Killer, both IN my
own family and among the Chinese, and have found
IL q most excellent medicine. In the summer Of go
and '63, while residing in Shanghai, I found II an
almost certain cure for Cholera, II used In time.
Indeed, using IL I'm a great many instances, I do
not member falling In n single case. For three
years ! have been residing In this place, more than
fifty miles from o physician, and have been obliged
often to fall back upon my own resources In cases
of sickness. The Chinese come to us In great
numbers for medicine and advice. Though with
out medical knowledge ourselves, the few simple
remedies we can ommand are so much In advance
even Of their physicians, that we have almost
daily applications. We allow them to come, be-
cause IL brings us in contact with them, and opens
q door to usefulness. In diarrhen, collie, vomiting,
coughs, &c., your Pain Killer has been my
chief medicine. Yours, very truly,

ceipts for the year of about IS. OOO, 900 in ex-
cess of the estimates will enable the Internal
Revenue Bureau to make a good showing in

ought really to be two per cent. less than it

Office. The Commissioner of Customs has
just prepared a report for the use of the
Secretary of the Treasury on the amounts of
customs frauds on the Government for the
fiscal year ending the SOth Of last month.
These frauds represent cases settled by the
department, and show to what an alarming
extent the system Of s~windling is carried on.
The total amount of the frauds for the year
is 81. 49,, 100, of which 81, ITO, 600 is credited
to the port of New York. Taking into account
the fact that but a comparatively small pro-
portion of the frauds committed are discover
ed, the exhibit is truly a serious one. Re-
ports of the condition of the national banks
Of the country shew them generally in good
condition, and disclose an easy money market.

did wrongfully keep a dog which was used and
accustomed to bark continually by day and
night, and that, on Saturday last, the de.
PENDANT did then and there allow the dog to
bark necessarily from early in the day through
the whole day and night following, and did
thereby hinder and prevent the plaintiff from
studying and transacting his lawful business
by day, and deprived him of his sleep during
the night so as in~juriously to affect his health
and the peaceful use Of bis property. The
second count alleges the keeping of the same
dog, and that said dog was a dangerous one.
On the first count 81, 900 and on the second
count $1,000 damages are claimed. go.
A dispatch from Washington states that the
