The Influence of Malaria COunteracted.
That the harmful influence upon the human

acted has been demonstrated for years past by
the protection afforded the inhabitants Of vast

Indies by Hostetters Stomach Bitters. Used
as a preventive, they have invariably been
found to be q most reliable safeguard against
chills and fever, bilious remittents, and still
more malignant types Of malarious disease,
and when employed as a remedy have always
proved their adequacy to the task Of eradicat-
ing such maladies from the system. For dis
orders Of the stomach, liver and bowels, which
in hot climates and miasmatic localities are
thorough remedy They also strengthen the
system, tranquilize the nerves, promote diges-

VERMONT VS.. THE WEsT.-A person
writes from Minnesota to the New York
Tribune: Not long ago you published a
letter on the deserted farms of the East,
in which the writer expended a deal of
sympathy on the poor toilors of the New
Hampshire farms, aud wished that they
could be induced TO come to the line prai-
rles Of the West, etc., etc. Allow me to
state, per contra, that about the time your
correspondent was penning that lamenta-
ton over the Woodworking farmers of the
East, CHANGED to call on Vermont far
mer, an old neighbor, who has never own
cd any other than poor farm, on which
he has toiled hard, and from the avails of
which he has brought up and educated a
large family. Three of his children, some
years since, came TO Minnesota and took
"homesteads" of fine prairie land. They
were surprised that their father did not sell
out, leave Vermont, and come at once 10
the great West. Calling on tue "old folks"
found two of tho three children spending
The winter with them. The daughter, hay
ing been for four years in succession eaten
up and eaton out of everything by the de-
vouring grasshopper, has gone in her pow
eriy 10 her early home for shelter. A
younger brother, who has spent Two years
in Minnesota, has abandoned his claim,
aud Is willing to deed it to the choppers
or any one else who may want it, Either
Of them would exchange their so acres of
"lertile prairie" for one OF those "deserted
New Hampshire FARMS" aud think they
had made good bargain.
