Look 10 the Lambs.

When they first make their appearance in
the world lambs are very feeble animals, but
ifthey once get well started they are quite
likely to live, and if properly cared for, do
well. The first day or two of its life is a
critical period with lamb. Therefore it is
quite important for sheep owners to look
after their 1ocks when it is time for the ewes
to bring forth their lambs. Unless they are
deformed, or extremely feeble, (which is sell
dom the case) nearly all lambs will live if they
have little care and attention. Probably a
large proportion of them would live if let
alone, but many would die. When the
weather is cold they need special attention.
A severe chill will be likely to be fatal, unless
prompt and proper remedial means are used
The owner should visit the sheep yard FREQ
uently during the time at which lambs are
expected. Every evening he should attend
to new corners, if there are any that need
help. To give specific directions would re-
quire great deal of space. Every owner of
sheep should have copy of Randall's Practi-
cal Shepherd, good book which contains a
great deal of valuable information. Exper-
fence too, is very valuable aid, as the writer
has proved, but there should be a certain de-
gree of knowledge to 60 before the experience
in order to prevent mistakes, which would
otherwise be very likely to occur. Good care
is one of the essentials, and this every one
can give.-Dirigo Rural.

PERUVIAN SYRUP
PERUVIAN SYRUP
From Chas. M. COLGATE. ESQ.

OF The firm Of Colgate g Co., Manufactures of Fla
yoring extracts, q Blackstone Street, Boston.
SoMERvILLE, Mass, Dec. 6, 1876.
Messrs. Seth W. Fowle g. Sons:
Gentlemen-Last spring my little daughter, aged
five, became very much emacated with less of
appetite. and great prostraton of strength so much
SO that we were obliged to take her out of school,
This continued through the Summer, and caused us
much anxiety. After trying various remedies with
out deriving any benefit, our family physician
recommended the use of PERUVIAN SRRUP. After
using it one week we saw marked improvem ent in
the child's condition, and in a month she was
rapidly gaining in health and strength her appetite
being excellent. At this date she is perfectly WELL
again attending school regularly. L consider her
restoration to health entirely due to the PERUVIAN
SYRUP, and feel that L cannot too highly recon-
mend it as a tonic.
Very gratefully yours.

Wash. Jones, in his speech at
Georgetown, favored the issuing OF
absolute, fiat, greenbsck money, and,
by way of argument, asked his hearers
If they would lose anything if such
money should prove worthlessl
OF course, If the colored people
hold very little of the fiat stuff they
will lose very little, but the people
who gave the Federal government
money for these bonds, that the war
against the "rebels" might be prose-
cuted, would be robbed of their for
tunes. But we only proposed to show
the colored people how it is proposed
to swiLdle those who furnished the
money to carry on the war. Hon.
Wash. Jones says if the bondholders
are cheated the negroes lose nothing.
But then Hon. Wash Jones should not
forget to tell the negroes that they are
great knaves if they do this thing.
