Cure for Sickly Pot Plants.

A French paper OF scissors, on the
authority of NJ. Willermoz, gives the
following cure for sickly pot plants,
which he states has been pursued for
some years with unfailing success bv
NJ. Lucas, of Hohenheim. It is recon.
mended in the case of plants which
have become sickly through over.wa-
tering, planting too deeply, &c.
Amongst the plants so treated were
palms, roses, ficus elastica, and others.
Instead of changing the soil it is well
stirred and soaked with water, heated
to temperature of 1873 deg. to IA
dag. (Fahr.) until it runs off freely
from the bottom of the pots. After a
few days the sickly plants recover
their original look of health and vigor,
and begins to grow again.

Roses in Beds or Masses.

The Dingee & Conard Company, in
their Guide to Rose Culture, give some
excellent hints on planting roses, from
which we select the following: To
produce the finest effect, roses should
undoubtedly be planted in beds or
masses-no other flowers should be
planted with them. When convenient,
circular beds are perhaps the most de.
sirable. These should be the highest
in the middle. sloping gradually to tho
edge. A bed twelve feet in diameter
will contain $50 roses. Deep colors
are usually preferred for massing, and
small beds of distinct colors are pref
cradle to a large bed of promiscuous
varieties: The plan of planting but
one sort IN bed is probably the best
of all, as it is important to have an
even and regular growth, varieties of
different styles of growth do not look
we'll together.

The Way to Keep Cut Flowers.

Never cut flowers during intense
sunshine, nor keep them exposed to
the sun or wind. Neither collect them
in large numbers, nor tie them tightly
together, as it hastens their decay.
Do not pull them, but cut them off the
stems with sharp knife, not with a
pair of scissors. When taken indoors,
place them in the shade, and reduce
them to the required length Of stalk
with sharp knife, by which means
the tubes through which they draw up
the water will be left open, and the
water will ascend freely; whereas if
the stems are bruised or lacerated,
these pores will be closed up. Use
pure water to set them in, or pure
white sand in a state of saturation,
sticking the ends of the stalks into it,
but not in a crowded manner. If the
stems are put in water alone, it ought
to be changed daily, and a thin slice
should be cut off the ends of the stalks
at every change of water.

Oil the Harness.


Have your harness repaired, if nee.
essary, before drier season sets in.
Wash it thoroughly with warm soft
water and CASTLE soap, and brush out
every particle of dust before putting
on the oil. This is tho important point.
Better not oil at all than to apply It on
dirty leather. The harness should be
taken apart and the pieces washed and
oiled separately. Rub on the oil while
the leather is softened with the wa
ter. It can be applied at once if the
leather is rubbed little with a dry
cloth; it should be soft, but not too
wet. After applying the oil, hang
up to dry for few hours, till the oil
is absorbed. Old harness that has
been neglected and is dry and hard,
had better not be oiled (; it will do no
good, the evil is already done. The
fibres of the leather have lost more or
less of their tenacity, and oil will not
restore it; in fact, by softening the
leather it only weakens it, just as a
wet sheet of paper will tear more east
ly than a dry one. Oil does not add to
to the strength of leather it merely
softens it and keeps it from cracking:
it is preventive of decay-not re-
stOrer. Harness are now so high that
it is more than ever important to take
good care of them. Never let them
suffer for the want of oil; keep in
good repair, and they will last as long
again.

Training FuchSiaS,

A fuchsia started from a cutting
and grown near the glass, with plenty
of room in house where there is
plenty of air given, will make a more
symmetrical plant by allowing the
centre shoot to grow uncut; of course
there are some varieties which natu-
rally incline to run up in a single shoot
and require to be pinched, but such
varieties are seldom worth cultivating.
Some people like plants grown in bnsh
form, and to obtain this, pinching has
to be regularly done.
l. Set the fuchsias, if through flow
ering, in some cool place where they
can be kept dry and rested for few
months Crassula perfoliata should be
set out of doors in some position
where it can receive plenty of sun,
which will induce it to flower more
abundantly during the next winter.
2. Plant the Gala into the ground in
some well.enriched portion of the gar.
den.
4. Towering geraniums cannot have
too deep soil to grow in during sum-
mer. This prevents the dry weather
taking too great effect on them. A
sunny position suits them best. If of
struggling habit, pinch back when
set out.

There has hardly ever been time in
which clothing for the feet has not been
provided, of some kind, among civilized
people.
The Ancients wore sandals, consisting OF
a sole held to the foot by straps; but there
has been vast improvement since the
days of the ancients in preparing shelters
for our feet, from time to time, and little
by little have Improvements been made in
thus part of our costume, until now we see
that nothing can be added either in the
style, ease, taste or finish, either as it may
relate or add to the comfort, beauty, grace
or ease OF the foot. The senior member Of
this firm has been resident of our village
for period of 28 years, and during this
time has turned his attention to the manu-
facture of boots and shoes and is, conse
quently, practical mechanic and an ex.
ceIlent Judge of the goods he handles. He
associated with him his son, C. F. ERERLY
about one year ago, who gives his whole
attention to the sales-room and taking

JEWELEB.
A certain writer says; "No business is
conducted so purely on the basis of honor
as the Jewelry trade" Among the masses
OF people few know the difference between
"pinchback" and gold. Fewer still are
able to pass a competent opinion upon the
finest of gold. To the uninitiated iewelry
may be IA, Is or Is carats, which they can
not tell. Pcrrysburg in common with
other villages has its goods of gold and sill
yer wares, but we have but one store where
the stock may be said to comprise a Jewell
ry establishment, and that is the one own
ed and conducted by the gentleman named
at the head OF this article. 1t was estal :
lished about six years ago, and his room
displays thousand and one articles, which
belong strictly to the trade. Here the Gus
toner can find gold and silver watches,
precious stones, plated ware, which dazSles
the eye and deplete the pockets of patrons.
Chains, thimblcs, shirt buttons, sleeve but
tons, studs, gold and silver rings, and
large variety of other goods are kept by
the proprietor and sold at fair prices
His stock of clocks is extensive and embra-
ccs the different kinds and qualities. He
makes n specially of the celebrated
"Schaffhausen Speotacles and Rye-G lasscs,"
which consist in a mathematical accuracy
in the construction of the lenses, and are
manufactured of the best white flint glass
He also has large stock of the spheroid-
n spectacles, which are considered a wonder
ful invention for preserving the eye. His
assortment OF accordeons and musical in
struments are we'll selected and in fine VA
riety, SO much so that any person deairipg
to purchase cannot help but make a salts
factory selection. Mr.. ZURFLUH is prac-

Her local, and pecuniary, and growing in

ultude in population. While we make
these remarks in general sense, we would
refer our readers in a specific sense, to the

by our fellow townsman, Mr.. f. YEAdER.
One side of his store is literally packed
with dry goods of both foreign and do

thirty to thirty-fve hands and is one ot
the indispensable institutions Of our town.
The proprietor transports his stock to Phil
adelphia, Boston, St. Louis, and other
prominent cities in the United States. 1t
requires not less than 5000 cords of bolts
to stock the yards per annum, and they no W
contain hundreds Of thousands of slaves
and heading ready for the market. The
engine is forty horse power, and the ma
chinery of the first quality. 1t requires a
capital of at least S25, 900 annually to keep
the works in motion and is fine auxiliary
to the manufacturing interests of the place.
The demand for staves and heading, in
common with all other merchantable pro-

meets with a steady market. Mr.. T. is one

WOODEN BOWL FACTORY.
DENIsoN . wEDDELI, rRoP'Rs.


extremely simple contrivance wood
en- bowl, many think; but look at it, exam
inc it closely, and in spite of its simplicity
we will warrant enough will be found to oc'
cupy ones thoughts for sometime. Simple
in construction it may be, but simple things
are not always those that are discovered
and what we write may be exemplifed by
the old and well-worn anecdote Of Colum-
bus and the egg.
The making of dishes, pitchers and cups,
and various other utensils for domestic use,
was one of the the first steps in the progress
of mankind towards civilization. The
earlies; utensils of this kind used were,
most probably, shells among the nations
who lived upon the sea hoard, and leaves
among those who lived where the forests
afforded them Of kind that would answer
for the purpose. Then came the invention
of pottery, and refuse heaps OF vessels
made of clay, still remain upon the banks
Of the Nile, which fern the most sugges.
tive record of the nations which have long
ago passed away. Next came the inven
ton Of various domestic materials made ot
metal, which was successive step of soci
ETY. toward the attainment OF Implement
to adorn the table. And from this otheI
materials have been discovered and invent
ed until now, dishes have been brought tc
an exceedingly high degree of perfection
| Wooden bowls are q modern invention
and how far back the first was manufac
tured the writer has no means to ascertain
but as to the uses and adaptation of thes,
vessels in family circles, is evident. Thi
bowl factory has had an existence fo
eleven years in our midst, and has wld
range of usefulness and is one Of the i'm
portant additions to our manufacturing
enterprises, assisting to make, as it does,
ready market for the abundance of timbe
in the county. 1t turns out from 300 to 40'
bowls per day of the different sizes, ant
makes a speciality of what is called tn

floral purposes. The timber used by tn

bowls are shipped throughout the Unite'
States and Canadas. The factory Is situn
ted on Fourth street, in the southwest par
