The many acquaintances and friends OF
gloom and sorrow the announcement of
her death, which sad event occurred at
the family residence in Hickman, Mon
day morning, 40 n. m, after several
months of severe illness. The deceased
was native of ST. Johns, New Brunswick,
and some 80 years ago, came to Hickman,
on visit to her brother, the late Duke
Donslson, Esq, of Lake county. While
on this visit she was married TO our now
venerable fellow-tow n sman, Judge A. ID.
Kingman. She was lady of rare accom-
plishments, well educated, splendidly gift
ted as a musician, and ms q conversa-
tionalist she had few equals. These quail
ties, supplemented by genial and hospi
table temperament, made her home, for
years, the center of the most attractive
features of Hick man society For a gen.
Grafton past she has been thus intimately
identified with the home circles of all our
best families, and the moving impulse
through these many years that inter
spersed the routine duties of Hickman
life, with occasions of music and pleasure.
The children OF this community have
grown up and been educated under
the elevating influence OF her splendid
musical accomplishments, and each and
every member of the older families must
cherish pleasant recollections of her mem
DRY. Her association and Identification
has been so thorough, SO prominent, so
long, as part and parcel of Hickman SO
ciety, that it would seem that the dark
angel had cast his shadow over each and
every household. Our whole community
will feel and mourn her loss. To her ven
cradle husband, and bereaved children,
We extend the sincere condolen ce of hon
est sympathy.

Vegetable or Mineral.

A physician writing to a journal of medi-
cine, not long ago, proclaimed against the use
OF mineral poisons in curing diseases, on the
ground that in ninety-nine cases out of hum
dred more mischief than benefit was the re-
suit. In his practice he dispensed entirely
with the use of mercury, etc, and attributed
his success mostly to his prescribing vegetable
and herb medicines only. In the face Of these
facts, every invalid should take warning.

Treatment Of Sprains and Bruises.

The best treatment of sprains and
bruises is the application of water, of
such temperature as is most agreeable.
The degree OF temperature varies with
the temperature Of the weather and the
vigor Of the circulation. In hot day
use cool or cold water. If the circllla-
ton is low, use warm water. The
bruised or sprained parts may be i'm
mersed in pail OF water, and gently
pressed or manipulated with the hand
or soft cloth, for ten OF fifteen minutes.
or even longer in severe eases, after
which, wrap up the parts in cloths wet
in cold water, and keep quiet. This
treatment keeps down the infiamma-
ton, and in nine cases out OF ten proves
a speedy cure. The linimcnts and
filthy ointments so much used for
sprains, do not compare with this SIM
pie treatment in efficacy. Herald OF
Health.

Renoyate Lawns.

~
However well the lawn may be cared
for during the season of growth, it will
often show signs of deterioration through
the gradual exhaustion of the soil. A
thick, matted sod over the soil is not
favorable to free circulation of air,
freighted with ammonia through it, and
it becomes gradually deprived of that
very important pabulum of grass. To
restore the wasted ammonia as well as
phosphates, and potash with the least
disturbance of the turf and annoyance to
the family, is the question now under
discussion.
One way would be to cover the ground
with rich stable manure. But this
course is very Objectionable. To cover
the soil with a thick coat Of fine barn
yard manure to lie through the winter
and be raked off in the spring, is the
method generally pursued, but it has its
dement's. First, it is very disgusting to
the sight and smell Of the family and
passers-by all through the winter, espe-
cially if it be an open one. Secondly,
it may deposit seeds of noxious weeds
in the soil, rendering it more foul. If
there is no better way of renovating the
lawn than this. we must tolerate it, but
we submit that there is.
A good commercial fertilizer, bone
meal, a rich, ammoniated phosphate,
prepared with special reference to the
wants of lawn, would secure the de-
sired fertilization with much less annoy
ance than stable manure. Have the
fertilizer to cover the ground at the rate
of five hundred pounds per acre.
We would say further in this connec-
ton, that it is almost impossible to pre-
serve uniform growth of lawn grass
where trees and Shrubs are growing.
The shade of the tops and the competi-
ton of the roots impoverish the soil,
and the effects are visible on the lawn.
On large grounds, shade trees are indis-
pensable, but then small patch of clean
lawn can be preserved directly in front
of the dwelling, and in small town lots
the better way is, to devote the entire
front exclusively to grass. -AnaericG's
