David Wilmot, who had agreed to propose
II, was tardy, and Hamlln offered 1t just 10
time to win by narrow majority. In
l847 he was elected to tho Senate, and I'M
til 1856 acted with the democrats, but In
that year he formally withdrew from the
party In speech which caused wide ex-
element. Soon afterward he was elected
governor Of Maine by the republicans, but
served only few days, for he was at once
re-chosen to the Senate. The story OF his
nomination on the Lincoln ticket, his
work during the war, and his later services
10 the capitol, are too familiar to need re-
calling. Hannibal Hamlin retires from
public life with more honors than fall to
the lot Of most men. At home be is the

late eminent Judge wiids. Of the Mnssachu-
sets Supreme Court, writes as follows;
"78 +. 5ifh ST., Nep York, loy &c, 1852.
MEssRs. j. G. AVER & Co., Gentlemen:
Last winter was troubled with n most uncoui-
Portable itching humor affecting more especially
my limbs, which itched so intoleraby at night
and burned so intensely, that could scarcely bear
any clothing over them. / was also n sufferer
from severe catarrh and catarrhal cough my
appetite was poor, and my system good deal run
down. Knowing the value of AyRR's SARsAPA-
RILLA, by observation OF many other cases, and
from personal use in former years, began taking
IL for the above-named disorders. My appetite
improved almost from the first dose. After o
short time the fever and itching were alayed, and
all signs Of irritation Of the skin disappeared. NV
catarrh and cough were also cured by the same
means, and my general health greatly improved.
until IL 10 now excellent. / feel hundred per
cent stronger, and attribute these results TO tho
use of the SARsAPARILLA, which I recommend
with all confidence as the best blood medicine
ever devised. l took IL In small doses three
times day, and used, In all, less than two bottles.
i place these facts at your service, hoping their
publication may do good.
Yours respectfully p. wILDs."
The above instance is but one Of the many con-
stantly coming to our notice, which prove the per-
feet adaptability Of AYERS sARsArARILLA to
the cure Of all diseases arising from impure or i'm
poverished blood, and weakened vitality.

AFTERNOON.

Ar,er bountiful dinner, provided by the
Turner ladies, Mr.. Henry Z. Alvord OF the
Houghton Experiment Farm, New York,
gave very interesting lecture on butter
factories and factory butter. He said; A
few wears ago the butter makers OF Yer
mont began to see their product gradually
act aside for Western butter made In
Western creameries, and to-day the choic-
est New York State and Vermont butter In
large lots is selling at sec. per pound,
while that from the Western crcameries Is
selling for 42c. The reason for this bad
condition OF things is, that the creamery
butter is uniform in its quality, and the
New York market calls for it by the han
dred of tons. While in home dsiries, there
is not. in large quantities, this same uni
formity; and that is the reason for the Dill
ference 10 price Now, said Mr.. Aivord,
this is not a fashion, but hard fact, that
We have to meet. The speaker then went
ON 10 describe the methods adopted at but
ter factories and the results obtained. One
of those methods is, that an agent Is en-
ployed to 90 around to all the atrons,who
skins the milk, takes an account OF the
cream and takes that only to the factory,
leaving the milk at home. This is FOUND
70 be very much cheaper and less trouble
than for each one to carry his own. At
the factory the cream, when in proper con-
dition. is churned and put upon the mar
ket. The results that have been obtained
a, the Massachusetts, factories has been
r,ur cents a quart for the milk at the farm
er's door for Massachusetts quart, winch
is no, so large as a Maine quart. This In
clndes. of course, the value or the skim
milk which. the speaker said, be was pre-
nared 10 prove by a series ofcareful exper-
imests at Houghton Farm, to be worth &C.
ner gallon for lambs, calves and pigs. lie
went on to say that, / was offered, day
hefore-yesterday, Acc. pr pound for all the
hu,ter made at CRANKY factory, this next
J,n,y. Another thing, said he, is, that
4
can show that the same number OF cows
will produce more butter by the factory
system than they will by the home dairy
system. He read letter, the writer say
| ing he was getting ten per cent. better re
sults from the former than by the lat1el
system. Mr.. Alvord said he ascertained
that one ton Of butter per week was sent
70 market from Winthrop during Decem
her-ayerage price, SOC. or &c. per pound
The same butter from factory would o.
worth i4c. per pound. These are thing'
for the farmers consideration, said tn
lecturer. and where the creameries ar
a,ce established they are sure to succeed
