BITTEN BY MAD DoG.TMr. Joshua
Glenn of Powells Fort was sitten on his

the dog gave evidence of betty aife cted

several dogs, snapped at some tcattle and
LETT home. He was, Afterwards killed
about six miles from home. As soon as
Mr.. Glen ascertained that The dog was
mad he determined TO try the merits OF,
the mad stone. On Monday, pec. 29th j,
he visited M. Triplett,in Fanqil er County
where Mrs. Triplett applied the mad
stone to the wound. The ST one adhered
to the wound about fourteen lonrs. 1t
was taken of several times, washed, dried
and again applied to the wound, Finally
it ceased to adhere. Tins stone has been
in the hands OF Mr.. Tripiett's family for
number of years, and has been applied, t
is said, with success, to Il large number of
persons. Mr.. Glen speaks III the mo st
supplementary terms of Mr.. Triple tt,
who is now an Invalid, and of his wife
Mrs. Z. who kindly rendered ery,posi-
bic attention. The charge for services
was very moderate. We do not profess 0

stone but are fully convinced that it either

four of these peculiar stones, one in Rich

The New York Herald says there is
no use in manuring land to grow weeds:
in buying tools to rust out under a stone
wall; in erecting buildings to rot
away for want of paint and care;
in buying animals and leaving
them to the unhindered action of disease !;
in accommodating manure to fill the air
with its exhalations and the brooks with
its teachings; in raising forage to floor a
barnyard with; in buying land to yearly
lose its strength and virtue; in growing
crops to feed unheeded insects. Yetmore
than one of these defects may be seen on
almost every farm in the country, and the
extent to which they lower the average
success of our farmers is greater than
would be believed.
"A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph writes: "On dry or wet ground
the effect of the roller is found to be salu-
tary. Plowed and prepared for sowing,
dry land is much helped by the roller.
The blades of grass spring up sooner and
retain tirmer hold in the earth. In q
season of drought, rolling has saved the
crop when without it the seed would have
never sprung from the ground In wet
and heavy ground it is believed the roller,
smoothing and hardening the surface, will
leave the soil Immediately beneath the
surface in better condition to generate
the seed. On grass ground that has been
heaved by the frost the roller has an ex-
cellent effect in tixinSthe roots. Rolling
the ground is also good when the land has
been laid down unevenly the previous
year. If the land is too dry, wait till just
after soaking rain, and it will work
capitally. 1t is good idea to roll plowed
soweds ground before narrowing, as it
presses down the burrows that would be
turned back, and makes the surface less
uneven, and the harrow pulverizes it
much. We find that on an average not
one farmer in four has roller"

Bronchitis.

This is an irritation or Inflammation of the
bronchial tubes which carry the air we breathe
into the lungs. Itarises from cold settled in
the throat, from Catarrh extending to these
parts, from scrofulous affections, and from &C.
we're use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter cause commences in the larynx and
CLOTHS, which are the organs Of the voice, and,
extending downward, produces hoarseness,
coughing and splitting mucous matter, some
times mixed with blood. 1t is chiefly danger
GUS from its tendency to spread into the lungs
and terminate in consumption. It is in the
cure of severe and obstinate cases of this dis
ease that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry has achieved unparalleled success and
won the loudest praise from all who have
used it.
