A CLEAR INFERENCE

It is too true that most of the patented medical preparations thrown on the market emanate from who can lay no just claim to professional ed ucation and who consequ, ntly, totally unqual- if. to originate a really preparation. But we have the pleasure of stating that know of one except at least this rule. We refer to Dr. Kennedy ot itondout Y, the discoverer and proprietor ot the popular medicine entitled the FavoIit Remedy. He is not stranger in this region of country. but d regular and favoraby known physician and geon of Rondout. where he has practiced his profe sion for eight years with degree of success which has surprised not only the general community, but also other members of the medical fraternity. Ir. Kennedy is n graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the city of New York and r three years surgeon III the United States army during late He has also been member for several years of the Ulster County Medical So ciety. As surgeon he las no superior in he State being singularly bold skilllful and unprecedeht- edy successful in his o, erations. Is it fair inference, ,ws ask that w a surgeon who has nper ated in many vital cases and never 'st of them. the people that the Favorite Remedy purifiss the blood. thereby curing Scrofula and all Scrofulous affections. Bilious disorders, Kidney Complaints Constipation of the Bowels, as we'll as all that large class of ills peculiar to womenthat they simply take him at hs word and are cured cprtiing promise? In fact the Doct..r himself does not hesitate to admit that part of his in surgery is due to the of the Fav0rite Remedy ill the after treatment of the patient, which pre- moved by the knif by giving tone and strength to the system of bis patients--which had become de bilitated and weakened by disease
 In conc usion, hope that no who may be suffering from any of the diseases for which the FdvGrite Remedy is recommended wll hesitate q moment to secure bottle and test the truth of aciy for it that none will be disappointed dece we'd.

The sleighing at such times lasted also for weeks, and this was the best season l for drawing wood from the hills apd
 sWamps where it had been cut and piled during the proceeding season. l The writer's father was the owner of some wood land lying in Hanover which | i'll the Summer was infested with snakes. Some of them were of extraordinary slze Of a species comnlonly known as the black snake, and am told that their descend-
 ants remain in full possession of the
 original domain without having in size or i'll other respects in any degree deSeaer- ated. The genial Uncle Ed'' who lives in the Hanoveran dominion, says that he has seen those reptiles as large around as his arm, (which we all know isnot a with
 cred shrub, and this must give them a proportionate length of some fifteen or sixteen feet which was q sizo quite sui ffcient to intimidate any man from ap- proaching their denS, except one, (Philo
 Foot,) who would grasp the largest by the throat, and after allowing him to squirm and writhe for a while would pull out his tongue and let him go. This the
 writer once saw him do, but the serpent
 had not attained the size referred to by Uncle Ed, yet he was large enough to
 cause the bXstanders to shudder.
 But to return to my Winter subject. Sleighing parties were frequently made
 up for visits to the neighbOring towns,
 while Aunt Kczia,' and other hospitable
 hostesses living in the suburbs, were
 called upon at short notice to provide for
 such entertainments as were usual on
 these occasions. Your neighbor, David
 B. Beers, Esq, (tfe nestor of the village
 who lives in the same house that he was
 born in, over three score and ten years
 ago, was d participator in these merry
 gatherings, of which estill retains arecoE
 lection, to say nothing of the many other
 events which transpired in and around
 Newtown in those days that have so long since passed away. c.

RECoLLEcTIoNs OF OLD NEWToWN.

WINTERS THERE IN YE oLDEN TIME.
 In comparing the severity of the Win terS of the last quarter of a century with those of a generation or two before, I am induced to believe that the climate in Connecticut has become mildcr, but whether the change is due to the clearing up of the forests at the west or to other causes, I am unable to form d SatiSfac- tory opinion; certainly, no such severe snow storms occur now as were freq uent then when the stone walls and rail fence divisions of the fields were entirely hidden by huge drifts which lay for weeks and only yielded at last to the rains of early Spring.
 The writer vividly remembers when the fields adjoining the village were so deeply covered with snow which fell on these hideous tempests that they presented to the eye an unbroken surface, leaving not q division or boundary visible. Over this was formed at times crust of ice of suf- ficient thickness and strength as to be capable of sustaining an OK sled with It's load of boys and girls in the amusement of coasting--the favoritc ground Tor this being the meadow west of the school house of the lower district, near the pres cnt residence of Mir. M. C. Hawley which had declivity that rendered it some times little dangerous. In these merry gatherings can Scafcely recall tHe haIie of one who has not long since gone to the spirit land. Among them were Wm. Black man, David Johnson. George Judson, Henry Baldwin and others whose voices were wont to ring when our sled plunged on it's mad career, particularly when It capsized (as it occasionally did) by bad guidance Sometimes our sehoolmaster would join us and infringe little upon the hours devoted to study, for which We were always profoundly grateful.
 Those days have long since passed away and they never como back to me i'll memory that I do not feel like asking myself the question, who woull not be T boy again?

HINTS TO BEE KEEPERS,

1 will answer a few Of the questions that have been asked about the hive described in No. ?. Where it is marked 20-1t, it means twenty and one-fourth. ''Thc strips for the top bars" should be 19 Is inches long, but those that have cut them IS Is, have done no harm, as a lath nail driven into each end tosprDject one-half
 inch is considered by some the best plan, though I cant sec that it makes any diff ference. The top-bar hive is for those that are not going to open and examine their hives often. The best hive in use, and if it is left as the majority leave their hives, from Spring until Fall without looking into them, will find out that a movable comb hive furnishes the best re- treats for moth worms and yet the top bar hive can be examined just as well as the movable comb hive.
 To make what is called the betse enger or prize box, strip some clear pine bass wood or white wood into strips inch es the two upright sides now mako some strips one and three-fourths inches wide by one-fourth inch thick, this is for top and bottom saw the wide strips six and one-fourth inches long and the narrow strips just five inches long, nail them be- tween the wide ones, one eight from each edge, and you have box five and three-fourths by five inches inside, and it will hold ? lbs. of honey, and when used in a crate with tin separatorS, they will please the most particular, for both beauty and neatneSS; eighteen of thcm will just cover the top of the hive when put in a crate, making 3G lbs. tothe hive.
