Harvest Home.

As the congregation worShiping at the
Presbyterian church assembled on Sunday
last. they were surprised to find that the
chsncel had apparently been turned to a
new account. A bold and novel Innovation
had been brought about, by making it the
garnery of about all the fruits and flowers
of the autumnal season. Sheaves of wheat
and oats stood upright before the sacred
desk, and upon either side, gracefully re-
clining upon the floor, were two very well
improvised cornseopias from the broad
openings of which were displayed the vari-
Gus fruits and products of the farm and
garden. The first thought was d little
equivocal as to the strict regularity and
propriety of the conception. A little re-
Election, however. enabled the worshiperS
to trace the connection between these com
mon products of nature up to natures
God, and the fitness of making such evil
dences of Divine goodness and care Tor
his creatures the means OF quIekenlnS
their gratitude, was recognized, and very
pleasant and hearty approval was the result.
Then the effect of the pulpit instruction,
as well as the other departments of the
service. were in full accord and recogni-
tion of the season of Harvest Home. Thus
the tenor of thought of the body of wor-
shipers was turned to this very agreeable
and popular sentiment. Flowers too, gar
nished every resting place-the front of
the organ, the desk, the communion table
and stand, each offered their combination
of beauty and fragrance as evidence OF the
Divine skill displayed in the works of crea-
ton, for the pleasure and happiness OF
man. All these fruits and flowers had
been gathered and arranged by the sedu-
lous care and painstaking skill of Mr.. Ed.
Wells, to whom the congregation are in
depted from Sabbath to Sabbath for the
beautiful floral displays to be seeh decorat-
ing the ehancel of this church. The obli-
cations of the congregation TO Mr.. Wells
for this display of taste and ingenuity, we're
duly acknowledged by the deep interest so
generally felt.

ATTmF-HONOREDSPFCIFT

A ATImE-HONORED SPECIFIC.-The
long and successful career of Dr. Wishart's
Pine Tree Tar Cordial, as contrasted with the
speedy collapse of nostrums devoid of effica-
cy which have from time to time been puff
ed into brief nOtoriety during the twenty
odd years that this celebrated medicine has
been sold, affords proof that the American
public continues to repOse its confidence in
deserving articles only, The Pine Tree Tar
Cordial has long been recognized as the lead
ing specific for Consumption, Bronchitis,
other diseases of the breathing organs. 1t is
moreover, a certain, speedy, and safe botanic
remedy for dyspepsia, liver disorders, scrOfu-
lous affections, urinary troubles, gravel, drop
sy, debility, constipation, and female COM
plants. Constantly accumulating evidence
OF an unimpeaehable character establishes
the fact that it not only entirely eradicates
the diseases to which it is adopted, but also
that It's action is remarkably prompt and
thorough. The crucial test of experience has
demonstrated its reliability in every partic-
ular. Sold by all druggists. Principal Depo-

OF all medicines calculated to cure affec-

KINGS NEW Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarse-
ness, Tickling in the Throat, Loss of Voice,
&c. 1t does positively cure, and that when eV-
erything else has failed. No medicine can
show one half so many positive and perma-
nent cures as have already been wrought by
this wonderful remedy. For the Asthma and
Bronchitis it is a perfe5t specific, curing the
worst cases in the shortest time possible. We
would say by all means give it fair trial.

OF the amount involved in the settlement
we are not advised authoratatively, but un-

of all the real estate, both here and ut
