TIE True WAY TO INvIGoRATE.-
The true way to inyigorate feeble
system is 10 infuse activity into the
operations of the stomach, that woH-
drous alembic in which the food is
transmitted into the constituents OF
blood, the chief element Of our vitality.
Hostctter's Stomach Bitters, because
i; accomplishes this end, is greatly to
be preferred to many so called tones,
useful indeed as appetizers, but inop-
erative as aids to digestion and assin"
ilation. This sterling cordial, while
it invigorates the stomach, BEAUTIFULLY
stimulates the liver, bowels, and kid
neys, ensuing the escape through the
regular channels of eifete and useless
matter thrown of by the system, which
is thus purified as well as invigoruted
by it. It's tonic influence is soon made
manifest by an increase fvital energy
and more active and regular dis
charge OF every physical junction, and
it has the further effect of rendering
the system unassailable by malarial
epidemics.

whatever, as il is not only cooling and

course there are plenty of people who
are constantly doing themselves with
blood searchers, liver purifiers and
stomach in ngorators, who would laugh
Mt the mention of buttermilk as med
lcine, and yet if they could be once per-
suaded to try drinking glass OF that
fresh beverage every day, they would
soon find 1t corrective Of their poor APP
petilies and 'clogged-up livcrs.' In a
little book of PLAIN Directions for the
Care OF the Sick written by an intel
ligent physician of Philadelphia, who
has under his medical supervision sew
eral charitable institutions, we find
bultermilk mentioned as being very use
full, especially in fevers, as an article OF
diet for the sick. In Olden times when
in many q farmhouse, the medical
pharmacopeia was limited to a few
household remedies, buttermilk whey
became a familiar and valued sudorilic,
and many an old lady whose long and
successful experience as a nurse gives
weight TO her testimony, still insists
that there IS no better cure for a cold
than to bring on sweat by drinking
hot whey An additional proof OF its
value as a medicine has been found in
a letter from a traveller in Switzerland,
who has Deen visiting a goats whey
cure at Gals Patients afflicted with
weak and disorded stomachs there find
relief IN drinking whey warm from the
cheese vats. They begin to drink about
six in the morning, while the whey is
pure and warm, and take as much as
seven or eight glasses, with an interval
of quarter of an hour between the
glasses, This treatment is laxative,
but its effects are In some measure
counteracted by farinaceous food. The
treatment begins early ia summer, and
lasts three weeks.

Hen MANURE.-0ne of the best fer

putting hen manure in keg, pound
ing it down snugly, and pouring
water over it, a little at time, as on
a tub of ashes when teaching to make
soap, till the whole is soaked through.
When it begins to run off, add more
water, and the teaching thus obtained
is just what you want TO make your
plants grow splendIdly. Put enough

Use this once a week, and you will be
delighted with it. Bottle some of the

REPLY The "worms" sent to US
are the larvae of the CAD fly, aestrus
owls, one Of the most annoying insects
by which sheep aud goats are attack
ed. During the summer months it
abounds in woody places. These in-
sects deposit their eggs in the inside OF
the nostrils, which the sheep try to
prevent by holding down their heads
and hockiDg together The warmth
and humidity OF the nostrils very soon
bring the eggs to maturity, aud the
larvae find no difficulty IN gaining their
way into the frontal, maxillary, and
other sinuses and cavities Of the fore.
head. There they adhere by means of
two hooks, the secretions Of the mem
brane lining the cavities constituting
their food Here they remain, increas
ing in size until the following spring,
when they wnggle down the nose and
fall on the ground, into which they
burrow and undergo their future trans
formation. In cases where they are
very numerous, their presence IN the
cavities Of the head, especially towards
the time of their maturity, aud when
they make their exit, rlay cause con-
siderable irritation, superseded by 10
cal inflammation, and its consequences,
suppuration, gangrene, and even death
OF the sheep or goat. Little can be
recommended either as a preventive
or a remedy. Keeping the sheep away
from woody places during daytime,
and smeariDg their nostrils with mix
tule of whale oil and tar, is a trouble
some but effective method of keeping
off the attack Of the fly.

The case Of the o'Neil property holders
against Jerry Ahern was withdrawn from
the courts some days ago by consent OF the
parties. Mr.. Ahern's two houses stood on
the street, and other property holders
charged him with o~bstructing the public
highway. 1t was finally agreed that each
person interested should distribute $40 to-
ward defraying the expenses Of removing
the houses. Some difficulty was experienced
in collecting the amount, and yesterday
the property owners settled the matter by
turning in and moving the houses them
selves. Mr.. Aiken experimenting the job.
This disposes OF a vexatious question with
out a resort to the slow process Of law, and
TINS mode of adjustment cannot fail but
prove satisfactory to all parties.

Remarkable Escape OF a Virginia
Miner.

The Chronicle says a most remarkable
accident happened at the Hale 4 Norcross
on Wednesday night. A cage with six men
was coming up the shaft at II o'clock-the
hour for changing shifts, when a bolt. GOO
feet from the bottom, at a point where
there is an irregular place in the guide, the
cage suddenly lurched to one side, throw
ing the men to the other. Patrick Holland,
who was on the outside, was crowded off.
Instead OF falling to the bottom and being
dashed to pieces, he was safely lodged on
a wall.plate. The other men on the cage
supposed he had fallen into the stump, OF
caurse. When they reached the surface they
got the usual sacks and boxes and started
back to the stump to gather up the frag-
ments Of the body. As they approached the
place in the shaft where the man was thrown
off they heard a voice below them telling
them to go slow. They did not know what
to make Of the strange discovery, never
supposed il possible for Holland TO be any
where else Than at the bottom. When they
saw him safe on his narrow perch they
could scarcely believe their eyes. Any one
WHO has aSCtuueu u Sndlt hUONo HON Idplu>
ly the wall plates fit by when the lantern
is held so as to bring them to view. The
cage from which Holland was thrown was
coming up at the usual rate of speed. How
the man could possibly have been lodged
on one of these pieces Of timber, without
being iammed by the cage or knocked off as
it went past him, is a wonder. The wall
plate is a square timber, IA by l6 inches,
so that there was very little standing-room
for Holland while he was waiting for the
cage to come down and rescue him. II the
shaft had been so light that he could look
down any considerable distance of the 600
feet between him and the bottom, he could
scarcely have had the nerve to cling to his
narrow footing. The darkness of all min
ing shafts is a point in favor Of the miners
preserving their GOODNESS when placed i'll
ticklish positions. A couple of pump men
will throw a footwide plank across a shaft
1000 feet from the bottom and work upon
it as though they were not five feet from
the bottom. The darkness Of the shaft
prevents the thoughts of the awful abyss
below from being constantly present.

An Appeal I'm Favor of Home Mer-
chanfS.


The Virginia Enterprise contains a
sensible and timely editorial on the above
subject, from which we make the following
extract. It will apply to Eureka perhaps
more forcibly than to Virginia City:
These merchants in Virginia City W
property, pay taxes, employ labor, con-
tribute to the support Of all the schools
and public institutions, and are intimately
identified with the general business pros
perity Of the city, and they have, as we
have said, just cause for the complaint that
people do not commercially assist them.
II, instead Of getting trusted here at home
when they are out Of cash, and sending to
the East for supplies when they are in
funds, our people would spend this money
here among our merchants, we should all
have less cause to croak about hard times.
If this was done our merchants would
build better stores and residences; keep a
larger stock Of goods; extend their facili-
ties in all directions; reduce their prices
and grow prosperous, and by their pros
perity aid the general prosperity of the
whole community. A portion of every dol
lar spent among ourselves returns to the
very hand that set it afioat, so intimately
are our business interests connected.
"Live and let live." ''Help one another"
are wise maxims to adopt. What money
is sent to New York and Philadelphia is
just so much ~irrecoverably lost to this
community of business interests. All
things being equal-and il not equal they
should be made as nearly SO as possible
every citizen should spend his money in
Virginia City, for all that can be obtained.
There is another thing worthy Of remark
in this connection. More than half the
inducements, held out by the New York
and Philadelphia houses, are simply cal
culated to catch the gullible. When the
goods come they are of inferior quality,
and generally short measure the refuse
Of auction sales and cheap John ventures.
Spend your money at home, and then we
shall thrive.
