Destroying Tree Growth.

We observe much discussion in some
of the palnrs;on the various operations
of pruning, cutting back, cutting up and
grubbing out, in which no distinction is
made between a dormant and growing
condition Of the trees or shrubs operated
on. One inquirer asks for a method for
getting rid Of an Usage hedge, set where
it is not wanted. The answer is, cut it
off even with the surface of the ground.
If done when the hedge issdormant, the
result voald be p sprofuse sprouting up.
fromst thaa stumps or EOots; but ifAper-l
formed wilhelm a rapidly growing state,
severe check would be given, requir-
ing little repetition of the operation. For
- the same reason, if we wish to promote
the growth of young hedge, cut it back
when not in leaf :; but if making an over
growth which requires checking, cut it
2ae a. tmidsummer. Bad mistakes are made
by deferring the shortening back of
Young or newly transplanted trees until
the buds have opened; in doing which
+ty such trees as the cherry, which do not
reproduce shoots freely, have been ac-
stually killed by the operation. Rene
( 4 dies are sometimes prescribed to pre-
re6iove the suckers which spring
up around fruit or ornamental trees by
.SAi digging them out. If the removal is
done early in spring, before growth has
commenced, there will be plenty to
e !. sprin8 np and take their places; but in
issSE June 81 July, little trouble from new
suckers will be the result, and few repe-
IL stifions of the work will be needed. We
have before urged the Importance of this
distinction, but many seem slow in re-
celving and apprsciating it. On old
trees It is less essential than on younger
ones.--CoMntry Gentleman.

DR. SCHENCK: tE
Dear Sir-About four years ago was taken
sick with what my physician told me was
Consumption of the Lungs. | had bad
cough and was reduced very much in my
weight. At different times, had seven ply
sicians of this place and also one from
Bloomsbury, attending me, and although
they all thought they could help me, grew
worse very fast under their treatment. Twas
compelled to give up all business for two
years, and no one believed, nor did | myself
believe, that should ever get well One
day happened to call at Mr.. Auburn Smth's
Drug Store, in this place, and picked up one
of your pamphlets. In reading the certif-
Gates of cures, found one case so nearly like
my own that at once concluded to givey
Medicines trial l bought the Seaweed
Tonic, Pulmonic Syrup and Mandrake Pills,
and began their use according to the printed
directions, and l can truly say, that from the
first | saw marked improvement in all my
symptoms. This encouraged me to continue
their use until | was entirely well. | have
had good health since my recovery, and be-
lieve your Medicines saved my life. L know
of several other persons in this city that have
been cured by your remedies.
Yours truly,

Georgia Woman Greeted by Her
Former Slaves.

Long before the late war Gen. Canty
and wife, Of Russell County, Alabama,
were the possessors of large number
of slaves, and by their humane and kind
treatment of them won their love and
respect. So deep was this tender feel
ing and great respect rooted in their
mirds that when the last of their slaves
were set free none would leave unless
forced to do so by circumstances un-
avoidable. Employment could not be
given all, SO the remainder were COM
PEELED to seek other homes. A large
part of. these cast their chances for
livelihood in Clayton County, where
they have remained to this day. Mrs.
Canty, who has a cousin living in Clay
ton County, determined to pay her
visit, which resolution was carried into
effect last week. Her old slaves and
their children, hearing of her intended
visit, made every preparation in their
power to give her royal reception.
For several days no work was done save
that which was intended to surprise
cold missus." On the day of her ar
rival she was met at the depot by half
hundred of her former faithful slaves
and escorted through the town by them
to the residence of her cousin. Every
attention was then given for her COM
fort and well-being. Presents of all
kinds were heaped upon her, and at all
times she was surrounded by eager
servants, only waiting an intimation of
her wants. After Mrs. Canty's visit had
terminated, and she had decided to re-
turn home. the negroes brought and
presented to her some valuable articles,
which she received and will keep the
balance of her life. She was then es-
corted back to the depot, where, amid
the tears and farewells of her former
possessions, she left them.-Colunabus

From Bay City, Mich.-AnOther Case OF
Consumption Cured by DIR. Schenck's
Medicines.

Medicines.
DR.. j. II. SCHENCK:
Dear Sir-I write this to give you an ac-
count Of the cure of my mother by yourmedi-
cines. Six years ago, from the effects of
heavy cold she was reduced very low with
Consumption, and was pronounced incurable
by her physician. She had terrible cough,
and some Of her coughing spells would last
so long that she would turn black in the face
and often raise as much as a pint of blood at
a time. When she was first taken sick she
was quite stout, but from the loss of blood by
hemorrhages, and loss Of sleep, she was at
last reduced to almost a skeleton. While in
this terr. .ble condition, l happened to read
your advertisement In an Oswego, N. T.. pa
per, where we were living at this time. The
statements of those who had used your medi-
cines seemed so candid and reasonable that
we concluded to give them trial, and can
truly say, that by coming to this conclusion
my mothers life was saved from Consump-
tive's grave She commenced by using all
your remedies, as directed by you, and we
soon saw a marked improvement in all her
symptoms In conclusion will say, that she
continued their use until she was entirely
we'll, regaining her former weight and
strength. Yours respectfully

Ten years ago / contracted a severe cold,
which brought me very low. l went from
one doctor to another, getting prescriptions
from each, but the medicines they prescrib-
ed seemed to do me no good. kept getting
worse and worse, until at last | became so
weak that If I went any distance from my
house it seemed that would never be able
to get back. l was in despair, and had al
most given up all hope of recovery. AS
last resort, / went to Strope's Drug Store, in
this city, aud asked him if he had any medi-
cine that would help me. He said he had,
and he was so confident of it that he said,
"Here, take this bottle of DR.. Schenck's Pull
monte Syrup and If it does you no good you
need not pay for it.'' / took the bottle home
and commenced using it, as you directed, and
it worked like magic. BY the time 1t was
gone, felt very much better, and so got
another bottle which completed the cure.
| have since used the Pulmonc Syrup in
