For nearly quarter Of century it has been
acknowledged that Dr. Slge's Catarrh Remedy
has no equal in speedily and permanently
curing cold in the heal and all catarrhal
affections Of the nasal cavities. Its immense
sale and great popularity are dependent upon
and entirely due 10 its merits aud superiority
over al other similar preparations. Very
many physicians. having thoroughly tested it,,
are now prescribing 1t in their practise.
Hlburton, Ont. Jan lst, 1877.
DR.. r. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, y. y:
Dear Sir--F2r years suffered with chronic
catarrh. Last winter it became more severe,
seriously affecting my throat and lungs. Ny

Ny general health became worse, 50 that de-
SPARED Of life. Seeing favorable notices Of
your medicines. procured one-half dozen bot
ties Of the Golden Medical Discovery and q
supply Of DR. Slge's Cltarrh Remedy. The

q radical cure was effected.

then, how could he continue to sell the mad
dening poison which could make man
crush and mange the delicate form of his
own little child? Then as the idea which
Mamie had suggested came back to him,
and he thought of the possibility of such
women as poor Mary Burke requiring their
husbands blood at his hands, he hesitated
no longer
"I1l give in," he said huskiy. I
thought could hold out against an angel
from heaven, but couldn't stand that poor
lame child"
Then Mamie was caressed and cried over
in way that would have surprised her, if
| she had not been so wonderfully happy. At
last the crowd dispersed, the child kissed
Mrs. Brannan and the baby, and then,
mulIled in great, soft shawl which one of
the ladies had wrapped around her. she was
carried home by her father, whom she had
won back to the right way, while faithful

" Field Days."

Some of our more progressive young farmers
in New England land older ones, too), are
starting new thing in the way Of farmers
meetings; being assemblages Of neighbors,
and others from distance, with few
newspaper men, If possible), at their farms,
for the purpose of inspection, discussion,
cheap advertising, and good time gener-
ally. We think it is mighty good idea.
So far it has been limited TO Massachusetts,.
We are ashamed of Vermonts being behind
in such a matter, and wonder what our
sheep raising friends in Addison, or our
fancy cattle men all over the state, could be
thinking of, in letting Drs Sturtevant and
Nichols, and our friend Burnett get the
start in such very good thing Mr..
Douglass sends us copy of the Boston
Globe, with glowing notice of the doings
at Mr.. Burnett's place, and wants us to call
the attention of our readers to the subject,
which we cheerfully do.
Mr.. Burnett's farm is in Southboro',
Mass, and is christened Deerfoot," Gas all
farms that are anything must have name
now-a-days), and the specialties are Jersey
cream and butter, and pig pork. About
forty head of cows are kept, and the cream
or butter is sold to the tip-top restaurants
and wealthy families of Boston. Three
thousand pigs, partly raised on The place
and partly bought tmostly Berkshires,
small Yorkshires and Essex are slaughtered
in year, and the same class of customers
are supplied with gilt-edged pork, hams
sausage and souse, at fancy prices. Mr.
Burnett (son of the Burnett's Extracts '
MANI is backed with plenty of money, and
carries on his business in the highest style
of the art of fancy farming, but whether
profitably or not we suppose he hardly
knows himself, and perhaps does not care
He keeps fast horses among other "varie
ties Young Smuggler, son of the famous
trotter, being one of them. The meeting
was well attended, and all hands had goot
time looking about, eating, drinking and
expressing admiration.
Really, we think these field days arr
a good idea, and ought not to be limited tc
the fancy farmers. Our farmers clubs ant
oranges ought to meet, sometimes, at least
at one anothers homes, look over things, dis
cuss them, learn from them and enjoy them
Sociability is encouraged knowledge is in
creased, and if you can ring in a few news
