During the winter OF 1865 t6, | was
engaged in public sales as auctioneer. l
attended sale at Chipman's Point, on
Lake Champlain, which consumed one
weeks time. To reach there was
obliged TO take team at Brandon,
arriving at the Point, some seventeen or
eighteen miles. late in the evening. The
following morning was sensible of taking
a severe cold. / however made the first
days sale without much difficulty, but at
night l felt very unwell. Some advised
me to take something for my cold, but
being unaccustomed to dosing, and having
no faith in patent medicines, took moth.
ing, AT the close of the second days sale
| was unable to speak aloud, and felt a
tightness about the lungs that l had never
experienced before, and for the first time
in my life I was alarmed for my health.
There were several different kinds of
medicine in the store where | was selling,
and various opinions expressed as to their
virtues. Bat Down's Eti1ir was strongly
recommended to me by an intelligent,
motherly looking woman, saying it had
done more good in her family for colds
and bronchial affections, than all other
remedies ever used. She manifested such
an interest in my case, laughingly
replied that as l had never been other
than benefited by woman's advice. l
would take bottle. Which did. and on
retiring that night took about one-third
more than directions given, and with extra
blankets on the bed, l soon fell asleep.
About two O'Clock in the morning awoke
10 find myself sweating profusely, the
pain and tightness across the lungs had
disappeared. and l felt much better.
took another light dose and slept until
eight o'clock, when arose feeling like a
new man. could hardly believe such Il
cure could be affected in so simple man
ner, and so short time. and expected that
every day would prove to be only tempo
rary, But went on with the sale,
speaking from six 10 eight hours a day,
and returned home as well as when lett.
Since that time Downs ELi1ir has been
my never failing remedy for all lung and
bronchial difficulties, and for sudden colds,
| consider it the hest known.
Very truly yours,

The Missisquoi took a notion to rise very

was feared that the bridge would 60. One
pier was carried away by the ice and
another badly damaged. 1t is thought at
this writing that the danger is over, as
but little ice is now in the river. Gallup
& Hawley have the contract Of the selec-
men to put in truss work. This will
make the bridge passable till piers can be
built. The carrying off Of the dam will
be a large loss to our mill owners, as they
must lay still till temporary dam is put
in.

MAKING GARDEN.-As about one half
the business men of New York live in
Brooklyn or some other place that comes
under the general desi gnation of "the
country it naturally follows that about
this time in April the rural half referred
to devote much thought and energy to the
work of making garden. During the
customary midday dinner hour there are
thousands of men who forego many Great.
ure comforts and horticultural implements
to 60 hungry. In the evening they may
be seen on terryboats and trains with new
spades and rakes, baskets of roots or
packages of seeds in their hands and a far
away look in their faces. Most eager and
happy among them are those who are
about to enjoy their first season of making
garden. They have read all the seed
catalogues and made their selections in
the light shed by highly colored plates;
they have allotted their garden space
according to the probable yield, as indica-
ted by manuals of horticulture, and now
all they ask is that the weather shall
become settled enough to let them put
inn such seeds and plants as can not en-.
dure cold. With their minds eye they
already see their gardens in full yield;
they behold larger tomatoes than any
mere farmer ever plucked; their cucum-
bers are an inch or two longer than any
the markets will contain; their Italian
onious weigh about four pounds each and
their watermelons-oh, oh! Theirs is the
real bliss of ignorance. and what an en-.
viable article it isl What do they know
or care about the rains that may rot half
their seeds and harden the soil over the
others; of the prowling cats that at
midnight will scratch crops out of the
ground, and of birds that will come at
midday TO eat the food SO kindly provided;
of the insect pests that will eat the tops off
the radishes and cucumbers, the smut that
will como on the corn, the worms that
will steal the cabbages, the boys who will
steal the melons-if any melons grow
and the weeds that will never slumber or
sleep but strive night and day to make the
garden all their ownP They wonder,
these enthusiastic young gardeners, why
their neighbors do not buy seeds like
like theirs, and why some of them
say they prefer buying onions and celery
and asparagus to raising them. Before
the summer is over about half of the
young gardeners resolve that they also
will buy, for one season at least, for they
raise scracely anything that is fit to eat
And yet next season, under tho influence
of an entirely new catalogue and set OF
colored plates, they will try again. And
why shouldn't theyP The only two peoble
who ever were entirely happy were ANA
teur gardeners, and yet they had not the
modern joy Of reading seed catalogues.

ney, has brought suit against S. II Sher-

have probably ruined the treasurer. The
bill of complaint charges the defendant
with combining and confederaling togeth.
