On Saturday night last, 10th inst. We had q
fne rain, accompanied by q strong wind. which
blew Town q great deal of wheat. 1t is general
ly thought, however, that the wheat will rise
again, SO that it may be harvested without any
great disadvantage. Great a. were our previous
snticipations as to the yield. it now promises to
eclipse them in the naked reality. Some pieces
Of wheat will probably do to harvest by the 18th.
Harvest hands are scsroe, and it il thought that
wages will be high.
The rain has done much good, a. 1t was quite
dry, and has afforded = good season for setting

SUCCESS IN

In times past 1t was thought immodest to pro-
claim the excellence of ones goods. or to solicit
patronage for them in newspapers. During the
past twenty five years, through the immense
competition in trade, it has become q necessity.
The public are always anxious to learn of pro-
Sress, but are equally DESTROYS to az old all
frauds, as they have been humbugged by useless
wares until they have become skepticsl OF an
larry prejudiced against startling announce
ments OF some new and wonderful medicine
without character or worth. Still the public are
grateful to manufacturers or inventors of ar
ticles OF merit, even ii known as medicines;
many OF them are the result of years of careful
study by our most eminent chemists and phy-
sicians, and embrace such principles und pro-
auctions are QuInine, ChlorOfOrm, Choral
Hydrate, Porous Plasters, &c.
Success in advertising depends much upon the
intrinsic worth of the article itself even though
It be II "a medical preparation. AS an evidence of
this. Il celebrated physician of New York made
IL great Improvement in Porous Plusters by uda-
ing Caffeine on account of its giving Incl eased
effect and quicker relief and cure than any
known medicinal property; he hesitated about
advertising. fearing his reputation would be in
jured. A firm OF Pharmaceutical Chemists in
his city learning of this decided Improvement,
made An arrangement with this physician and
in II short time the sale increased fl ON hundreds
to thousands until now the sale of BENSON'S
PLASTERS is exceedingly large and
daily increasing. They can be obtained or any

the active business pursuits Of life. Mon

we sometimes hear from the sacred desk
Il eularges our powers of usefulness and
