ES ~. raj whatever. Much
fN& serious sickness and
- suffering is prevent
ed by their timely
use; and every family should have them on hand
for their protection and relief, when required.
Long experience has proved them to be the saf-
est, surest, and best of all the Pills with which
the market abounds. By their occasional use,
the blood IS purified, the cOrruptiOns Of the sys-
TEN expelled, distractions removed, and the
whole machinery of life restored TO its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clOgged
and sluggish are cleahsed by 4yer's Pulls, and
stimulated into action. Thus ;ncipient disease
Is changed into health the value of which change,
when reckoned on the vast mglutudes who enjoy
II, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues unimpaired for any length of time, so
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and operate
without disturbance to the constitution, or diet or
occupation.
Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how TO use them as a Family Physic,
and for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:-
For Dyspepsia or indigestion. ListIess-
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stOm-
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various symp-
toms, Billions headache, Sick Head
ache. yauniIice or Green Sickness, Bill
tOus Collie and Bilious Fevers, they should
be judiciously taken for each case to correct the
diseased action or remove the distractions which
cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For Efheumatisn, GOut, Gravel, Pal
pitafiOn Of the Heart. Pain i'm the
Side, Back and LOins, they should be contin-
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For HrOpsy and DropsicaI Swellings,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of drastic purge
For Suppression, large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by SYM
pathy.
As a Dinner Pin, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion ard relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite and inyigOrates the
system. Hence 1t is often advantageous where
no serious arrangement exists. One who feels
tOlerably well, often finds that a. dose of these
Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive
apparatus.

Why Wet Land should be Drained.


Free access of atmospheric air to
every part of the soil is of the utmost
Importance. The air assists the vari-
Gus processes of decomposition by which
dead animals and vegetable matter is
made TO yield products of the highest
value as elements of plants. If the soil
get into the soil to perform this Office.
Hence, drains, by drawing off the water
FROM beneath, gives the air free admis-
sion to the soil, and each shower of rain,
by displacing the air already present, and
then falling through the soil and run
ming away IN the Grains renews the sup
ply of fresh air In this way drains are
of the greatest benefit. Drains actual
ly diminish the loss of plant food by
washing away. Stagnant water is in
furious to the roots of plants. They
will not grow in il. Draining removes
this, and hence the plants send down
their roots deeper. Consequently their
capability of absorbing nourishment is
greatly increased. 1t is this increased
depth of the roots in well drained soil
which renders the crops growing on them
less liable to suffer from drought than
those on imperfectly drained land.
Although rain, washing the surface
and running off by open channels, may
and does dissolve and wash away a con
siderable quantity of nutritive matter,
the water which sinks into the land car
ries these nutritive substances deeper in
TO the soil and deposits them in the low
erportions where the roots of the plants
are to be found, and where these roots
can seize and absorb these soluble mat
tiers. Draining causes the rain to sink
through a considerable thickness of soil
before it runs off, and hence it causes
less loss of nutritive matter than is oc-
casioned by rain washing soil as it does
IN UNFRAMED lands, carrying off TO the
streams and rivers much of the valua-
ble nutritive matter that abounds on the
surface. ~. Y. Herald

KEEPING WINTER APPLEs.-A member
of the Michigan Pathological Society
stated at late Adrian meeting. that he
was very successful in keeping winter
apples, and had secured sound fresh fruit
in May, by the following treatment: He
picks the fruit in October, and places it
in heaps in the orchard and covers them
with hay. These heaps remain untouch-
ed till December, the slight moisture of
the earth and the few inches of hay pre-
venting any injury TO the apples. even
during sharp freezes They are then
assorted and packed in barrels, which,
after heading up, are placed in a cold
cellar, which is kept at temperature of
about thirty-two degrees, and if it should
happen to be few degrees lower for a
short time, the protection of the barrels
will prevent any injury. They come
out sound in the spring.

10 bushels of blackberry, 2 bushels but

Relics from the Arctic Expedition.

A dispatch from Dundee 10 the Lon
don TsleHuph. dated November lst, runs
thus: Captain Kilgour. OF the whaler
Polynia. which arrived here tonight.
brings number Of relics Of Arctic sx-
ploration. Whom a portion Of the crew
were ON shore at Batty Bay on the 29th
OF July. in search OF suitable watering
place, they discovered a camp on low
point on the north sijo OF the bay.
Judging it had bean erected BY some
party belonging to one OF the various
expeditions sent in search OF Sir John
Franklin. they pulled 1t down, and In
the interior OF Il found n tin canister
about twelve inches in length and four
in diameter, the lid being soldersd on.
Captain Kilgour opened the canister,
and 1t was found TO contain reports de-
posted ON the 9Th OF August, 1852, by
Captain VIM. Kennedy. OF the Prince
Albert, Lady franklin's vessel. In the
course OF the day n sledgs, a stove, two
ice knives and various other articles
were picked up on tho south side OF the
bay. where IL appeared Captain Ken
nedy's party had sncamped. The rec
oris disclosed the fact that Captain
Kennedy went into Winter quarters in
Batty BAY in the Autumn Of 1851, and
il was not until the 9th OF August. 1852.
that the ice broke up aud liberated his
vessel. II is obvious that Batty Bay
has not been visited since 1852. Tho
records are in an excellent state OF pre-
servation.

FATAL ACCIDENT.-Mr. Alfred B. Smithers,
son of VIM. ?. Smithers, ESQ, of this town,
died very unexpectedly at his home, near
Queenstown, Queen Annes CO., Md, last Sat
qTday evening. He and his brother, W. e.,
near Queenstown, and on Thursday they were
helping a neighbor to thresh wheat. Whilst
in the neighbors stable Alfred received kick
in the abdomen from young horse. Though
painful at the time, his injuries we're not
considered at all dangerous. On Saturday
afternoon, however. he seemed to grow worse
and whilst his brother was going for the doctor
he died. He was in his 9th year. and greatly
respected in his neghborhoOd The interment
took place in this town on Sunday, in the
presence of large concourse of people.

THE CONvENTION.-The Republican State
Convention assembled at Georgetown yester-
day and did its work with such harmony and
enthusiasm as was hardly anticipated by even
the most hopeful. DR.. Isaac Jump was nom-
mated for Governor and Hon. JAS R. Lofand
was renominated for Congress with spirit of
concord and unanimity that told with marked
effect upon the spirit of the party. The Re-
publicans have never acted with more en-
thusiasm or harmony, perhaps, since their
organization in the State.
What, with the dissatisfaction with the
Wilmington ring" as it was called with
the time of holding the Convention, and with
the idea of the two candidates coming from Kent
county, it was feared that dissatisfaction would
arise in the Convention, but none was mani
tested.
With reference to the ring in Wilmington,
the contest was ended on Saturday, when in
choosing the delegates by ballot, as is the custom
in New Castle, it was shown that the majority
voted in favor of the Jump delegates. The
issue having been thus squarely made and
decided all opposition ceased with the election.
The time and place of holding the convention,
being matter of opinion, was acceded to-
The resolutions, it will be seen, relate
exclusively to State affairs, and are peculiar in
this feature Though rather prolix, they are
decidedly to the point and all OF them are ol
