PHYSICIANS PRESCRIPTIONS.

"HEREAS, it has come to the notice of the
w Town Council of Yorkville, that the right
of physicians to give prescriptions for spirits, to
be filled at Drug Stores, has been grossly abused
by being given to unworthy subjects and where
as, the said Council having presented the matter
to the Grand Jury Of the late Circuit Court, and
that jury having taken no steps to stop such
abuse, but has referred the subject back to the
Council to be acted upon by them;
Resolyed, That this Council, knowing the Civ
ing of prescription to persons not sick and not
patients of physicians giving the same, to be
request to physicians to refrain from giving pre-
scriptions to persons not properly having the
right to ask for them and moreover, to notify
physicians that hereafter the prescription MES OF
the Drug Stores will be frequently inspected by
the Council and whatever abuse there found Will
be prosecuted to the full extent OF the law, the
Council reserving the right to use any evidence
now in their hands.

Ray~ Top dressing Winter wheat is one of
the very best means of using manure. Some
farmers draw manure from their barnyards
in Winter as fast as made but it is gener-
ally better to throw it in heaps and allow it
to partially ferment. Putting it on in clods
should be avoided not only as Wasteful, but
because the clods sometimes smother the
wheat plants on which they fall. With a
manure spreader one load of manure will go
as far as two spread by hand and be less liza
BILE to injure the wheat.

sa~ A very simple relief for neuralgia is
to boil small handful of lobelia in half
a pint of water till the strength is out of the
herb, then strain it off and add a spoonful
of salt. Wiring cloth out of the liquid as
hot as possible, and spread it on the part
affected. It acts like charm. Change the
cloth as soon as cold till the pain is gone !;
then cover the place with soft dry covering
till perspiration is over, so as to prevent tax
ing cold.

sprinkled on manure heap an excellent

RENTING FARMs.-Of all that tappertalns
to agricultural matters that of renting farms
is the most unsatisfactory. In SO cases out
of 100 both the landlord and the one who
rents the farm are not satisfied with the
result. 1t matters not how good condition
a farm be in, year or two of renting will
have destroyed its productiveness. The
tenant may be the very best kind of farm
er, the result will be the same. 1t is kind
of law of nature that renting of farms is
improbable to the owner as well as to the
occupant. In journeying through the rural
districts, farm that is rented can always
be selected from those which are worked
by its owner. The dilapidated state of the
buildings, the broken gates, the tumble
down fences, the mammoth crop of weeds,
the unthrifty general appearance-the air
of desolatiOn and destruction, are all too
fragrant not to be observed. The rented
farm is free to be plucked in every possible
manner. 1t is like the poor boy at the
frolic, it has no friends. In plowing, the
object is to ''cut and cover" The whole OBJ
ject, too, is to secure the utmost drain on the
soil-get everything off without returning
any ofthe fertilizers necessary to make itpro-
ductive. No, if a man has farm and ne
cannot work it he had better let it remain
idle rather than rent it. We can speak un-
derstandingly on this subject. We have
tried it.-Fd,na, Herd and Home.

SALT FOR THE THROAT.-In these days
when diseases of the throat are so universal
ly prevalent, and in so many cases fatal, re-
marks an exchange, we feel it our duty to
say word in behalf of most effectual, II
not positive cure for sore throat. Formany
years past, indeed we may say during the
whole of a life of more than forty years, we
have been subject to dry hacking cough,
which is not only distressing to ourselves,
but to our friends, and those with whom we
are brought into business contact. Last Fall
we were induced to try what virtue there
was in common salt. We commenced by
using it three times a day-morning noon
and night. We dissolved a large teaspoon
full of pure table-salt in about half small
tumbler full of water. With this we gar
gled the throat most thoroughly just before
meal time. The result has been that during
the entire winter we were not only free
from coughs and colds, but the dry hacking
cough had entirely disappeared. We attri-
butte these satisfactory results solely to the
use of salt gargle, and most cordially re-
commend a trial of it to these who are sub
iect to diseases of the throat. Many persons
who have never tried the salt gargle have
an impression that it is unpleasant, but af-
ter few days use, no person who loves a
nice clean mouth and frst-rate sharpener
of the appetite, will abandon it.-Ercha1ge.

KEEP THE BUILDINGS PAINTED.-Ihe
manufacturers of paints keep almost every
description prepared for use, and in suitable
cans to be transported, with such brushes as
may be needed for domestic purposes. Some
of the paints which would answer very well
for outside work, can be purchased at mod
crate prices. Hence there is no reason that
there should be foundamong farm dwellings
and out-houses so many of them going to
decay for want of a little paint, which the
owner or his boys could readily apply with
out difficulty, thus not only adding to the
general appearance of the buildings, but
greatly tending to their preservation. In
comparison with this the cost of the paint
and labor is mere trifle and not worth
counting. 1t is the wood work on the out
side of the building which suffers, present
ing mostunsightly appearance, and begins
early to decay. a good coat of paint as
often as may be needed, would preserve it
for at least twice the length of time that
would be the case in the absence ofthe paint.
This fact is worth serious consideration, as
it will be found that, instead of causing an
expenditure of money that many must think
is thrown away, to look at the shabby ap-
pearance of their buildings, it will prove an
absolute saving. 1t should be remembered
that money wisely spent, in cases like this,
is doubly saved Gernaantonm Telegraph.

But Jesus Christ is not only eminentlT
qualified to act as the judge on the day of
final assize, but this is a part Of his mission
into this world He came into the world to
destroy the works of the devil. |. John 3:S.
This world is in state of revolt against the
authority of God and his Christ. 10 crush
this rebellion, Jesus Christ came into the
world. So long as sin remains in this world
the work of Jesus Christ will be unfinished.
At the general judgment his work will be
finished, and the world restored as it was
when it came from the creative hands OF lts
maker. 1t will be completely saved from
the curse of sin. Not only is Judging the
world part of the mission of Jesus Christ,
but this high honor is due to him as a re"
ward for what he became, did and suffered.
"He humbled himself and became obedient
to death, even the death of the cross; there"
fore God hath highly exalted him, and Civ"
en- him name which is above every name;
that at the name Of Jesus every knee shall
bow" Phil. 2:S 8, 10.
Another character of the general judg"
ment is that it will be universal. The par"
ties to be judged will be angels and men"
All the angels will be judged and all men
will be judged. At the general Judgment,
those holy spiritual beings, which we call an
GELS, will be openly acknowledged as having
Been faithful, while those which sinned will
be openly condemned and visited with that
punishment for which they "have been re-
served in everlasting chains and darkness
until that day.
All men will appear before the Judgment
seat of Christ. The countless millions of
the human family from Adam, the first Of
the race, down to the last of his descendants
will present themselves: That will be the
grandest assemblage that earth ever saw.
As they approach the Judgment seat of the
