fruit season may be prolonged through
the year. And just as the laws of health
and the improved habits of the people
unite to demand fresh meats, fresh fruits,
and vegetables the year round, and fruit
jars are invented and put on the market
that will keep them fresh and free from
faint, and housewives are rejoicing that,
with less labor and cost than heretofore,
they can keep the household supplied
with fresh fruitth roughout the year, the
whole process seems likely to be super

have Just the wool that is wanted for
combing and delaine purposes. Farmers
can not expect to keep these large sheep
on lean pastures, with but little care of
them, and have good wool.
Growers will yet learn that these large
sheep need more to eat than the small
merine, and their food, moreover, should
not consist too exclusively of Indian
corn, but they should have, also, some
roots, mangel wurtzel, and especially
oil-cake. When sheep are fed solely or
mostly on corn, they are apt to become
too hot and feverish, and the wool con-
s~equently becomes harsh and BRITTLE;
while a proper supply of various kinds
of food, including roots and oil.cake,
would produce soft, round and elastic
wool, such as is now too seldom found in
the market.
The wool from a Leicester sheep that
has been two or three years in the United
States is generally harsher, leaner, and
worth much less than it would have
been if the sheep had remained in Can
ada or England. But this will not al
ways be SO; for sheep-growers will event
ually learn by experience how much the
profit of their business depends on right
feeding.

Mr.. II. r. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-Thi Is to show that my son was taken
sick in January 1864, with Scrofula, which came out
in large sores and ulcers on his leg and hip. HIS
leg was swelled more than twice its natural size:
Irofession,twof from Boston /, nd three from Cha AL;
10 lie wherever he was placed, for he had no use q
his limbs whatever. When we had given up all
hopes of his living we were told to try YEGEIINE,
the great blood remedy; and he had taken it but a
short time before we could see q great change. The
sores run SO bad that we had to chan Q the cloths
four or Fl We tim es a day. Still, he was getting better;
for he could move his limbs and helphimselfalittle.
He vas soon able to cit up in bed, and. by constant
use of YEGETINE, it has cured him. He has q lame
leg, which he will probably have for lie; but we all
honestly believe II we had used VEGETlNE before We
had bothered with those doctors, it would hayesaved
the use of his leg, and restored Ii to natural health.
/ hope all those troubled with Scrofula will read this
testimony of me and my son, who is now well, and

cation Of the figures by the official documents,
Internal Revenue Commissioner Raum has deemed
it his duty to ask the United States District Attor
ney to bring suit TO recover the taxes on Gov
Tlden's income alleged TO be due the Govern
ment. Since the matter was first brought to hi.
notice Gen. Raum has desired to avoid taking auy
step which would appear to be prompted by parti,
feeling, but be has repeatedly said that if the
revenue laws had been violated, he should regard
1t his duty TO see that the Government was not de
frauded Of its just dues. Little correspondence
has passed between the Revenue Department and
District Attorney Bliss on the subject, but the
transcripts from the assessors books, which have
already been published in The Tribune, and other
documentary evidence, were forwarded TO Wash
ington by Mr.. Bliss, and have been under exam
ipstion. Mir. Bliss, who prepared the case, re-
garded the accusations unanswerai le and
