The Esculus Hippocastanum, or Horse
Chestnut, generally known as the Buckeye,
Is a Native Of Asia, and was introduced in
TO Europe, about the middle Of the six
teenth century. Its virtues asa preventive,
and cure OF Hemorihoids (Piies) have
been suspected by eight tenths of the
the people of this country. To prove this,
ask any one of your neighbors, OF friends,
why he carries that Buckeye in his pocket,
and he will tell you, it is either 70 cure
him OF the Piles or to prevent his having
the disease; that it has virtues peculiar to
this disease. and that they can be utilized
FER its cure is now fixed fact. Its virtues
lie in the bitter principle denominated Es-
culin; of this any well informed medical
man can inform you. That tho Buckeye
Pile Ointment will cure you is without a
doubt, il il is used according to directions

1.-TWO heads are better than
one" we have heard them say,
and equally so we suppose in
the case of two correspondents
from the same place. So here
goes.
Farmers are moving around
with a double vim seemingly,
many of them having plowed
their crops over the first time.
Mrs. Sarah RawPs corn crib,
together with about forty bar
rels of corn, was destroyed by
fire last Sunday. Twas said to
be the work Of an incendiary.
Mr.. Jas. +. Byers started to
Texas on a visit the 18th inst.
Before taking his leave he filed
his house with an extensive
Istock of goods, which is being
sold very cheap. He also has a
large pet coon at the store which
attracts the attention of the la-
dies very much. He performs
equal to a clown, and can whis-
tie like a mocking bird.
Fishermen are plentiful, but

luck is similar to that OF the

Clara Morris Boston Experience.

Bosom .ldtfistf, lNh.
A few minutes after the curtain fell upon
the second act of Miss Multon" at the Boston
theatre last night, Mr.. Shcwell made up rs NJ.
Bclin, the venerable tutor of the De. ..v;ur
family, appeared before &c r"".i,i,g nts. He
preiaced .,,.r" s,,55acn to the audience by say
~ mat he had painful duty to perform, and
that he was called upon to make one of the
most remarkable announcements ever made
from any stage. He then went on to say that
Miss Morris deemed the piece insufiicicntly
prepared. and that she declined to proceed
with it for fear Of not doing herself justice.
The part Of Miss Mutton, Mr.. Shewcll OK
planned, is largely dependent for its effect upon
elaborate display, which, in its turn depends
upon the assisting action Of the supporting
artists. The Boston theatre company had re-
hearsed the play some four or five times
being as many times as II had been possible to
arange-while in New York about six weeks
had been given 10 its preparation. Another
aud most thorough rehearsal would be given
on Tuesday morning. and the audience were
at liberty either to have their money refunded
OF to exchange thCiI tickets for Others for this
Tuesday evening. No strong demonstration
of any Kind followed, but Mr.. Shewcll was APP
plaudcd as he closed, and the audience slowly
dispersed.

to get as much wild enjoyment out Of the

she may receive the contents of a bottle Of

OF her head; she may stand in her balcony
and pelt the paSsers-by with egg-shells filled

to insure a drenching either from those very
convenient balconies or from the hrawny
negroes who coolly awaits your coming

seek him in Cairo, and he finds in the
narrow, picturesque streets Of the old

he mGy seek in vain elsewhere. When

change is remarkable. Though all the tyranny
of the Turks has not sutficed to alter the in-
delible characteristics of the place, and
though the wide squares, the fountains, the
gardens the arCades, the watered roads, the

the yelled figure opposite.
A still greater contrast Is offered by the ap-
pearance of the women who stand by as the
