Last summer | was, from some cause, weak in
my spine and kidneys, and it was at times very
hard to retain the urine. Seeing your advertise

Diseases OF the Kidneys, Bladder, etc, are al

most distressing and dangerous diseases that can
affect the human system. Most diseases of the

The Celestial Emperor of China

.
The Celestial Emperor of China is
reported critically i'll, and though the
announcement is apparently of little
consequence in this quarter of the
globe, the death of the young emperor
would have no unimportant consequen

European affairs in the far East. He
has indicated favorable policy to-
wards foreigners, but the powager en-
press has opposed him, and it has res
quir ed all his power to prevent China
from drifting into an anti foreign sys-

This Machine is mounted ON wheels, the
same as the wheat drill. with drivers seat,
and has two sets of Shovels and Coverers,
hung by gum spring attachments, that
enable them to pass over distractions
The dropping arrangement can be readily
regulated to drop any number of grains
and any Quantity of Fertilizer desired,
with precision and accuracy. The adj
yantages in planting corn by this Machine
are that the burrows are more uniform,
the checkering more accurate, and the
corn is dsrpped in newly drawn burrows
and covered with fresh earth, with more
uniformity than can be done by manual
work besides one Machine will do the
work of ten hands.
We claim specially tor this Machine over
all other patterns:
/. 1t is easily adjusted in all its parts.
simple IN construction, and readily and
conveniently handled.
2. The dropping is uniform and checker
ing accurate. for the reason that the Corn
and Fertilizer are first dropped upon
self-acting valve, AT the point of the tube,
only several inches from the ground. from
which point it is lnstantaneously dropped
to the furroW, without scattering or
stringing
8. The Fertilizer is dropped accurately
and simultaneously with the Corn, with
out stringlng along the filrrow.
4. 1t plants two rows at the same time,
the ShOvels and Coverers adjusting them
selves to hard or mellow, rough or smooth
ground; and any ordinary farm hand can
manage the Machine without difficulty.
5. The Machine is also designed, by
simply reversing the Coyerers, to Throw
the first way for corn.
&. BY appending an extra s7sopet at
tdchnlert it is converted int . perfect
CULTIVATION, and cannot be equslled for
shoveling in wheat and rye.
As we have but limited time for
manufacturing these Machines for the
coming season, we would be glad to have
you call and examine for Yourself, or
correspond with Us, so that, should YOU
desire one, we may be able to furnish it
in time.
Every Machine is guaranteed.

In his message to the West Virginia
Legislature. Governor, Jacob alludes to
the general depression of business, and
attributes it to an excessive issue of
paper currency, which begets wild
speculation and reckless expenditures,
both public and private. He says no
stable financial system can exist that
has not gold and silver for its founda i.
ton and declares thatiany policy that
may be adopted must look to this end.
He congratulates the State upon the
healthy condition of her finances, and
says all demands upon the treasury
have been met, with balance in the

!. great bug bear But the people do
want a. ''dog law, and if they are thus
trltled with by unnecessary delay, they
will also want representatives who will
respect their wishes. Besides, it is
3 meaningless in its provisions. Sec. 2,
after determining what dogs shall be
taxed, provides generally that any dog
not 'Freturned," or tax not paid thereon
''may be lawfully killed by any person

maxim that no citizen shall take the law

service. How are these persons to
know what dogs are not properly re-
turned, or tax paid thereon, in order to
be warranted in killing the same9 Tt
looks very much like a Debating clause
to the whole act, for, we predict that
but few dogs would be killed, except
by malicious persons, and the tax
collected would scarcely indemnify for
the killing of a scrub ram. Sec. 3, of
the act for Clarke and other counties
provides that upon complaint of any

shall order constable to kill the dog.
Itwould seem, that upon a moments

hoped that bill will be ammended, and
