SCnEYK's PULNONlC SYRUP.
SCHENK's WEED ToNIC.
S%CHESK's MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop a cough will
occasion the death OF the patient; they lock up the
liver, stop the circulation OF the blood, hemOrrhage
follows, and in fact, they clog the action Of the very
organs that caused the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia arc the causes oil
two-Ihirds Of the eases Of Consumption. Many per-
sons complain OF a dull pain in the side, constipation,
coated tongue, pain in the sh0ulder-blnde, feelings OF
drOwsiness and restlessness, the food lying heavily
on the stomach, accompanied with acidity and belch-
Ing up OF wind.
These symptoms usually originate from a dis
ordered condition Of the stomach or a torpid liver.
Persons so effected, II they take one or two heavy
colds, and II the cough In these cases lie suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver clOgged,
remaining torpid and inactive, and almost before
they are aware the lungs are "A mass OF sores, and
liberated, the result Of which is death.
SChcnck's Pulmonary Syrup Is an expectOrant
which does not contain opium or anything calculated
to check n cough suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food,
mixes with the gastric juices Of the stomach, aids
digestion, and creates a ravenOus appetite.
When the bowels are cOstiyc, skin sallOw, or the
symptoms otherwise Of a bilious tendency Schenck's
Mandrake Pills are required.
These medicines arc prepared only by
j. II. SCHENCK Il son,
n. T.. corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Phila.
And arc for sale by all druggists and dealers.

The Grape aud Vine Season in France.

The ceremonies attending the opening
of the vintage season in France has been
gone through with, and thousands of
harvestcrs are AS busy as bees in the
twenty-six departments where wine is
grown. The harvcsters comprise old
men, robust women and young girls with
stout backs, solid shoulders, II well de
vclopcd biccps, and sometimes with re-
markable pretty faces. They have to
have stout legs as well, for it is no easy
| work to climb the steep hillsides carry
| ing upon the back II hod of grapes that
grows heavier and heavier every mo-
mcnt. In some places the masters take
| their hands to a mass said at five O'Clock
in the morning, where all are expected
to pray for a bountcous vintage. After
mass all go to the vineyards, and, after
strapping the wooden hods upon their
backs, they all strike up Il lively harvest
song and 90 to their work with a will.
1t is needless to say that the wine crop is
the most important of all in France, its
value largely exceeding that of all kinds
of grain. In ordinary years it is esti-
mated at considerably over two milliards
of francs. For twenty years its exporta-
ton alone has had II mean value of two
hundred and fifty millions of francs, and
in 1873 France sold three hundred mil
lions worth of her wines. In addition to
this there are sixty millions worth of
brandy. The vintage contributes three
hundred and fifty odd millions to the
budget of the state, besides paying large
sums in octroi taxes to the towns in
which it is consumed. From these es-
Inmates one can readily comprehend the
| general interest taken in the annual
vintage, for a superior wine crop means
national prosperity. When the vintage
is poor the whole country is pinched /;
when it is good the entire nation feels at
ease. Fortunately the present wine crop
promises well, and it is supposed 1875
will count among the notable years.

British Agricultural Statistics.

The agricultural returns for Great
Britain for the current year have just
been published, and show the following
result in acres, as compared with the
three previous years;
1879. 1873. 1874. 1873.
Wheat, .3,50S,0j7 3,i9O,3SO 3,63O,3OO 3,3i2,3SS
Barley. .2,3lG,332 2,33j,9l3 2,2S7oS7 2,5O0,50
Oats, ...2,70j,S37 2,G7G,227 2,506,3Gl 2,GGi,Ol8
Potatoes. 5Gi,OSs jli,GS2 J2O,i2S 522,63i
Hops .." Gl,027 G3,278 $500 GO,2O3
The area of wheat is, therefore, about
100000 acres less than last year, a rcduc-
ton Of nearly 3 per cent. Barley shows
an increase, somewhat larger in proper
ton than the decrease in wheat, though
not ms large in area. The number OF
animals, June 18th, in each year, is as
follows;
1872. 1873. 1874. 1875.
Cattle. 5,G2I,9Di j,9Gi,5i0 G,l25,l9l G,Ol2,6Oj

Pigs. 2~,77l,7l9 2,jOO,2j9 2,i22,S32 2,22O,S7O
While the population Of Great Britain
increases from year to year, it will be seen
by the above figures that there are fewer
sheep to furnish mutton in 1875 than
there were in 1874 by ,ll8,G63. This is
It large reduction for one year, and fully
explains the steady high price Of mutton
in all British markets. These facts are
encouraging to sheep husbandry in the
United States, and especially to the long
wool, or CotswoId breed, as combing wool
sells twice as high now AS twenty years
| ago.
Hogs, always called pigs in England,
have diminished nearly 100000 since last
year. Good fat porkers and bacon are
likely to rule high for the next six or
eight months, for the cholera, the scarcity
of grain last season and other causcs, have
materially reduced the price of swine, cs-
p%ccialIy in the west and southwest.

THE FISHERS-FATHER AND son.
Prom the Washington Tribune
Then George P. Fisher AMI his son
came here with their blnster Monday
night. They b0asted very much Of the
honesty of their of8ce. They asserted
that they had refused 10 compromise
the case and as an evidence OF their
honesty they mentioned the fact tAat !
T., Perry Brother were willing 10 com.
promise the matter in order T. get their
goods back.
Mr.. AUdusTUs L. BERRY SAYS
that the goods that he has not recoiy ed
and that he has not recovered are black
and colored dress silks, black and white

they have got, except n $50 shawl. which
they have left al police headquarters IN
order to convict the thief OF grand lar
cany, In spite Of Judge Fishers asser
ton that Perry & Brother have agreed
to compromise with the thieves.
MR PERRY SAYS II Is FALSE
They have never made an offer 10 com
promise.
When the tole was robbed Mr.. nc
Dewitt went 10 one Of the partners and
stated that he wanted $50 to bear ex.
penses TO hunt up the thief. BE was
then informed that it was all he could
get, unless he could recover the goods.
District Attorney Fisher, the man who
| never receives bribe, and who was moi
! known to Mr.. Perry, except in his ofac.a
capacity, approached him and extended
his hands, and intimated that for Ger
tain sum Of money his goods could b.
recovered.

he could recover his goods honestly h.

The Reform fever has suddenly broken
out in Baltimore, and tremendous
meeting of the "Citizens Reform Party"
vas held there Inst night. The esIn says;
"Overthe front of the platform string
of flags was suspended, and to the left OF
the audience was the following. inscrip-
tions mo fifteen per cent. blackmail on
appropriations" Men who hold Office
should not be candidates for another In
The centre was the following; mo pros.
scription on account of birthplace" No
prescription of any man for his religious
opinions" Civil add religious liberty
guaranteed to all" No exemption OF $50,
oOe, 900 worth Of property in Baltimore
from taxation while any poor mans home
is taxed its full value" To the night OF
the stage was inscribed: Ring sule has
reduced the value Of property, but has
increased assessments thirty per cent,
and increased taxes fifty per cent. on any
previous city government.
But few of the leaders Of either of the
old parties were present, and the candi-
dates for Mayor and other city officers
were announced as having been made in
secret.
This would indicate that the new party
was a second edition Of the old Know
Nothing organization.
One speaker said in 1850 the church
property in this country exempt from
tax was Ss7,000,000 in 1860. sl70.00o.00O,
inla-0 il was S940, 600, 600. and at present
S65a, COO, 600. In the city Of Baltimore the
amount exempted is placed at $4,000
O00 By an estimates the speaker rehea on.
Take this $4,000, 600 from the assess
nent= and every mans taxes will be re-
ducfd one half.
