cure it, but when it is much cankered,
pencil the spots with luna causti,

blister the outside of the neck with
mustard or fyes. If the canker is
where you cannot reach it with the

solve some Of it in soft water, and
the patient can swallow two or three
drops, according to age; also when
using the gargle, swallow 4 portion
after gargling every time, and if the
patient is so far gone as to be unable
to swallow anything, have a strong
decoction Of gum myrrh and capsicum'
boiled in 4 can that has small spout
like an old fashioned coffee pot, and
let the patient breath Or inhale the
steam as hot as can be bourn. This
will relax the glands and start them

A short time since, I had q talk

his meadow had never been ploughcd;
he only cleared the land in good

came to this country he sowed some
timothy seed in the yard near the
house, and saved the seed produced
from this sowing, which he sowed in
different places on his meadow.
Three years ago was the first sown on
the meadow, and last season the hay
was more than half timothy, and as
good quality as he ever saw in Wis.
consin, where he resided about thirty.
two years. His meadow contains
about nine acres; has never been har'
rowed or ploughed, and he says it is
as good timothy meadow as he
wants, and will not SOW any more
seed on it, for the grass that is not
timothy is a kind of red-top that
makes nice hay.

lily were called upon to part with a
little twin daughter, called away by
death. She was four years old.
Though it is hard to part with our
little ones, yet the parents felt that
it was better for her to be taken thus
early, rs she was poor little Grip
pie. She had never walked, and prob.
ably never would. Miss Minnie, Mrs.
Johnson's eldest, is improving as fast
as could be expected. She has been
very sick with the diphtheria. The
rest of the children have bad colds
and sore throats, but Mrs. johnson
is very thorough, and begins in time,
and if particle Of canker makes its
appearance she goes right to work to
remove it as speedily as possible. 1
would advise everyone to watch the
little ones closely, and above all
things, if there is decaying vegeta'
bles in your cellars, proceed at once
to clean them out, and ventilate them
thoroughly. Work on the oh maxim,
that "an ounce Of prevention is worth

 Why do cities build waterworks? For the best reason in the world. Private capitalists as rule will not do it. A company attempt ed it in our city in 1s49 and failed. The city tried it in 1853 without success. The largest city in the State drifted on without water while Hartford, Bridgeport, Birning- ham and New Britain had water Then a few enterprising men put their shoulders to the wheel and raked the city from end to end as with a fine tooth comb for one year to raise two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, on the strength of which a contract was made to build the works It is now more than twenty one years since the first install ment was called in, and yet the men who paid in that money have not yet received new dollar for the old one. The money in al most any legitimate business would have doubled or trebled
