No MORE HEROES. deadly vege-
table alkaloids such as Mercury, Strych-
nine, and Prussic Acid cannot cure disease
or produce any bat the most disastrous re
suits. Perhaps no event has occurred of
late years which is so well calculated to
disabuse the public mind of belief in the
efficacy Of mineral poisons and bleeding as
the discovery of Doctor Walker, Of Califor-
MO. of certain medicinal herbs, whose
healing principles he has extracted and
combined in the form of VINEGAR BIT
TIERS. The cures wrought by it seem mar
velous. Its action is mild and agreeable
but at the same time rapid and effeetual
and being unimpeded by the presence oi
alcohol or fermented liquor of any deserip
ton, is attended with results hitherto un.
achieved by any remedial agent. The
cures of Bilious Complaints, Mala rious
Fever, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Scrofula
and all diseases arising from impurities O
the blood, attest the paramount excellenc'
of this medicine, and justify us in recon-
mepdingit

Farm and Garden.

Land that has been cleared five years ago,
and has produced crop since then, will be very
suitable for an apple orchard. 1t is not de-
sirable to plant trees on newly cleared or
broken soil. 1t is too rich and causes too
luxurious growth of wood, which is apt 10
winter-kill. Good soil. well drained and full
of mineral plant food, is better fer planting
fruit trees than soil in which there is an ex-
cess of vegetable matter.
USES OF RAW HIDE.-The skin of an
animal, whether COW, cali, colt or horse,
that dies on the farm, is worth more at home
than at the tanners. Cut it into narrow
strips. and shave off the hair with sharp
knife before the kitchen fire, or in the work.
shop, en- stormy days or evenings. You may
make them soft by rubbing. A raw hide
halter strap an inch wide, will hold horse
better, and last longer, than an inch rope.
1t is stronger than hoop-iron, ard more dur
able; and may be used to hoop dry casks and
boxes, and for hinges.
Try it on a broken thll, or any wood
wook that has been split. Put it ON wet,
and nail fast. Thin skins make the best bag
strings in the world. A raw hide rope is a
good substitute for chain. 1t is valuable to
mend broken link in trace chain For
some purposes it is best to use it in its nat
ural state. For other purposes it may be
dressed soft.-Journdl of Chemistry.

To the Little Ones.

Oh, children! Are you thinking about
Christmas and Sa.a Claus ?Is he coming with
his reindeers and his sleigh full of presents to
bling down the chimney 10 you? Well, it Is
about time to be clearing away the old play
things and making room for the ones. You
can get them Ill together and make some new
dresses for their old dClls and mend their
broken arms and noses. sew the covers on the
torn picture books, pick up Noah and his
family, and the animals lying round on tine
floor and in the corners of the nursery, ask
your mothers Tor the little shoes and stockings
you have outgrown and take all to Mr.. Phe
Ian or father Ripley or your Sunday school
teacher. who viii give them for you to the
children that don't bave any Santa Claus
coming down chimney Christmas eve. Some
OF them have no chimney for him to
60 dowl! Poor little onesl how joy
ful they would be over your old toys.
They play with bits of broken cups and plates
and old pieces of leather and strings, aud pic
lures cut out of newspapers, and hand bills,
and anything nobody else wants. And il you
would give halt the money you have for can
dy to buy meat and potatoes yoI would make
them happy as birds. For they don't get
enough to eat always. How hungry you are
When you come from school-welI, they are
as hungry as that all day long sometimes.
But they will forget it all while they have
good fun with your old playthings. Come

Charley and all of you! Hunt up your toys.

The common custom of decking the houses
and churches at Christmas with evergreens is
derived from ancient Druid practices. 1t was
an old belief that sylvan spirits might flock TO
the evergreens, and remain unIpped by frost
till milder season. The holly, ivy, rosema-
ry, bays, laurel and mistletoe, furnished the
favorite trimmings, which were not removed
till Candlemas. Holly and ivy still remain in
England the most esteemed Christmas ever
greens, though at the two universities the
windows of the college chapels are decked
with laurel

A Lawless scoundrel Shoots at a Man and
His Wife


His Wife.
We are informed that on Sunday even
ing about dark, Mr. Buchanan, marble
dealer, Of this city, with his wife, in a
buggy, while driving towards the cemetery
from the stone road, was met by two men
in a light wagon, who drove him into or
partly into the ditch, not giving him fair
share of the road Mr. B. stopped and re
mOnstrated. asking why they did it. They
stopped and one of them jumping up whip
ped out revolver, saying Cd d-n you
we'll show you what We mean, and fired
two or three shots at Mr. and Mrs. B. as
they sat in their buggy and then drove
rapidly towards the Milan bridges For
tunately neither shot took effect Mr..
Buchanan left his wife at the house of Mr..
Bean, and with that gentleman drove to
Milan, where he aseertained that the man
driving was John McCarty, of Rural, liv-
ing near the county farm, driving pair Of
mules. The. name of the other man he
did not learn. He procured warrant ant
placed it in the hands of Constable Ham
mond and we shall probably hear more O
this cowardly affair before long. This i,
the story as told to us, If it is true, NJ
punishment known to the law is too sever,
for this cowardly piece of rufhanism Anc
if true, we fail to see wherein McCarty
was less at fault than the other man, as hi
was driving and could have avoided the Of
