REMEDY FOR BURNS AND
SCALDS.

-Four years since the American Ag-
riculturist recommended the use of
Bicarbonate of Soda, that is the COM
mon cooking soda, for most kinds of
burns. Since then frequent expert
ments and observations, the opinion
of physicians, and the best medical
journals, have more than confirmed
all that was then said. As burns
and scalds are always liable to occur,
and as this remedy, though simple,
has proved to be extraordinarily use
full, it should be fixed in the mind of
every one. The soda, and the car
bonic acid SO readily set at liberty
from it have an@sthetic, antiseptic,
and disinfecting properties-all high
ly beneficial for burns. For slight
burns, cover all the injured parts
with a layer of powdered soda. For
deeper burns, but where the skin is
not broken. dip linen rags in a solu-
ton made by dissolving about one
third of an ounce of the soda in a
pint of water; lay the rags on and
keep them moist with the solution.
For very severe burns, followed by
suppuration formation of pus) apply
the rags in the same way, keeping
them moist; but frequently exchange
them when dry for fresh ones, and
carefully wash off, with the soda solu-
ton, any matter that has Accumulate

Neuralgia, Sprains,

@NStAA A<Is DIe1tHS,
Pain in the Back and Side.
There is nothing more painful than these
diseases; but the pain can be removed and
the disease cured by use of Perry Davis
Pain Killer.
This remedy is not a cheap Benzine
or Petroleum product that must be kept
away from fire or heat to avoid danger
OF explosion, nor is it an untried expert
ment that may do more harm than good.
Pain Killer has been in constant use
for forty years, and the universal testimony
from all parts Of the world is, 1t never
falls. 1t not only effects permanent cure,
but it relieves pain almost instantaneously.
Being purely vegetable remedy, it is safe
In the hands of the most inexperienced.
The record of cures by the use of PAIN
KILLER would fill volumes The following
extracts from letters received show what
those who have tried it think:

WINTER WHEAT ON RIVER
LANDS.

Vermont at one time raised her
own wheat; or, at least, no flour of
any account was consumed in the
state not made from wheat raised
within its borders. We have no sta
tistics to prove this, and do not know
that they are Obtainable, but we
think no one will question the fact.
Within the memory of many now liv-
ing every farmer sowed wheat, as
nearly every farmer now sows oats,
but the frequent failure of the crop,
with the cheapness of western flour,
caused wheat-growing to be general
s ly abandoned in the greater part of
the state. OF late years, only a
small proportion of the -four consum-
ed in Vermont has been made from
home grown wheat. Attempts to
raise wheat on low lands or intervales
were generally abandoned years ago.
A few hill farmers have continued to
raise it with tolerable success, but its
successful cultivation in the valleys
or on low lands has been considered
put of the question in this part of the
state. Windham county produced
pnly about 1000 bushels by the CEN
Bus of 1870-not enough to supply
more than one barrel of flour out of
thirty barrels used. OF winter wheat
pnly Ill bushels are reported for
Windham county in the census re-
urns for 1870. The little raised in
his county has been almost entirely
spring wheat,
Within the past two OF three years,
armers have been trying winter
wheat on the intervales of West Riv-
r, and have met with surprising sue
ess, thirty-fye bushels, or more, to
he acre having been raised. In
early every case where it has been
ried the grower has been rewarded
Fith heavy crop. In Townshend
Ehere a large share of the farmers
owed winter wheat in the fall OF
$50, the product the past year is re-
orted to have averaged not less than
5 or 30 bushels per acre. Encour-
ged by such results, the farmers OF
nat town put in an increased acreage
winter wheat this fall. If the croI
arvested next summer should equa,

Leading European medical journals
give numerous instances in which by
the above treatment, extensive burns
of very severe character have healed
speedily, leaving little scar.
The simplest and cleanest substance
for cleaning silver articles is, accord
ing to Professor Davenport, hyposul-
phite of soda. 1t acts quickly, and
is inexpensive. A rag or brush,
moistened with saturated solution
of the salt, cleanses even strongly
oxidized silver surfaces in a few sec
onds, without the application of any
polishing powder.
Black stockings, calico, or any
goods of the kind containing black
should be washed in hot salt and wa
ter. The salt prevents fading.
If you wish to make cake which
will keep well, use the yolk of eggs
only they make it much more moist
and less liable to dry than the whites
do.
By dipping the joint OF feshy ends

Light blue stockings that have lost
their color in washing may be restor

bluing water in which a little alum
is dissolved. White stockings may
be colored in the same way.
A complete cure for dandruff is
said to be affected by washing with
solution of borax once each tenth

Especial Correspondent of the vIRaIN1ANl
With an extensive ramble through the coun-
ty and a close inspection into the prospects of
the wheat crops now beginning to be gather
ed, though the results cannot be definitely
known until the "Steam Thresher" has COM
pleted its work, am inclined to the opinion
that the farmer, as general thing, is the most
ungratcful and distrustful creature upon earth
even putting his ingratitute and mistrust
out on interest, as 1t were. The croaker has
been heard for the last six or eight weeks
finding fault with an ever kind Providence in
the nudge, the army worm, Sc, though these
pests may have been sent as blessing in dis
guse to consume the super-abundance of sap
or to clip off the too exuberant growth OF blade
on the wheat, and thus prove blessing 1t is
we'll that God is God and not man, or such in
gratitude would be summarily punished as we
all deserve. l have never known the pros
poets of an abundant wheat crop better than
at present. 1t is very good, not q ii cid of in
different wheat to be seen. The oat crop is
failure. The corn is short, but there is time
yet, with good season, to expect n fair CROP
There is more activity in the agricultural i'm
plement business, especially in Reapers, than
there has ever been known in this country
The price Ofharvest hands is high-another
cause fgrumbllng-and it is heard on all sides,
but the laborer is worthy OF his hire. In my
opinion no land is so blessed as ours yet, no
people appreciate our blessings so little, An
Ingersol is looked upon, as he should he, with
contempt but what should be thought of a
Christian people alWays and ut all times muir
muring. while our baskets and stores are being
so constantly filled with the good things that
the Garth Is yielding. More anon.

VALUABLE. Property FOR S\LE-A
CHANCE FOR MANUFACTURERs.-B reference
to the advertisement it W ill be seen that the
valuable estate owned by the late Philip O.
Polmer is offered for sale. This sale affords
an opportunity seldom offered for the pur-
chase of property which can easily be made
to pay very large percentage on the amount
of capital invested. The tract embracing the
mansion house and mill possesses peculiar
value, on account ofthe splendid water power
connected herewith The mill as it stands
enjoys fine reputation, and being situated in
the midst of a productive wheat section, has
an extensive patronage. The foundry and
saw mill are also very desirable. To parties
who might not desire to engage in this partic-
ular line of industry the water-power would
give splendid facilities for the operation of
any kind OF machinery Especially is the
property adapted to the establishment OF
large manufacturing industries, such as wool
en- or cotton factories, the water power being
equalled at few places in the South. 1t is
convenient to. railroads, in a country that is
every year increasing its growth of wool, and
could be made one of the most profitable of in
ves!ments. A wooden or cotton mill is needed
in the vicinity and to parties who would put
the capital into it, a handsome return would
at once be realized. There is every induce
ment offered BY the sale of this property tor
such an enterprise, and those who have
means should particularly mark the day it
will be offered.
Independent of the mill property and the
excellent land connected with it, three other
good tracts, comfortably improved will be Of
fercd, each of which would make good
home. The advertisement does not exagger.
ate the advantages.

HARVEST is now being pretty generally
commenced throughout this section, and the
promise of fine yield is represented as ex-
cellent. In some few localities the wheat is
said to have been somewhat damaged by the
nudge, and in other places the army worm
succeeded in affecting injuriously the tender
grain. These, however, are isolated cases.
AS crop, the yield this year will be almost
unprecedentedly large. An increased acreage
was sown, and from almost every direction
accounts reach us of the wheat being finely
headed, and the grains large and plump. Good
judges have estimated that there, will be more
wheat threshed in Augusta county this year
than was ever known before. The nearest
approach to this seasons product, so far as
summer preceding was unusually dry and
the winter mild, rs was the case last summer
and winter. Then, too, a number of insects
invaded the wheat fields, and some of the
farmers apprehended serious damage. But
the grain headed up finely, as it is doing this
year and when the threshing time came the
yield was surprising. AS matter of course,
there is a much larger area in wheat this year
than was the case nearly half century ago
and if the product is proportional to what
it was then, MS many think it will be- there
Will be large export from the county during

New York, were out in North Mountain ex
amining the Dora Coal Mines, in this county.
They had one of Burke's fine teams to Jer-
sey wagon, and had left it standing in the road
whilst they went to make some explorations
near by. Presently there was sharp flash of
iightning.a deafening thunder clap, and a large
tree just in rear of the horses was shivered to
sfiinters. The frightened animals rushed
down the mountain, tearing themselves loose
from the vehicle, and speeding madly on
their course. They were stopped some hall
mile below, and. strange to say. had sustained
no serious injuries, though the road they
passed oyer is about the toughest in the coun-
ty- The wagon was but little damaged.
