ADVICE TO MoTHERs.-MRS. WINSLOW'S
SOOTHING SYRUP should always be used
when children are cutting teeth. 1t rel eyes
the little sufferer at once; 1t produces matt al,
quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain,
and the little cherub swakes as "brlght as a
button" 1t is very pleasant to taste. 1t
soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all
pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and
is the best known remedy for diarrhea, whether
arising from teething her causes. Twenty
five cents bottle.

Three PecuEarties

The superior qualities Of Hoods Sarsaparilla
are secured by three peculiarities, namely -
First: The combination of remedial agents used.
Second: The proportion in which they are mixed.
Third: The process by which the active medic
inal properties are secured.
The result is a medicine of unusual strength,
which effects cures hitherto unknown. These
peculiarities are exclusively peculiar to Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and are

puzzles every body. Prof Bartholomew saws

Sabbath evening we'were visited by

small quantity of the largest hail
stones | have ever seen. | applied
the callipers to one picked up by
Mr.. VIM. Lowell, which gave diam
etcr of one and three fourth inches,
which, if multiplied by the rule, g.
lll6) will give circumference of
over five inches. 1t was not strictly
a sphere, being rather rhomboid in
shape. When placed under the
lense of the magnifying glass, its con-
struction reminded one of what is
meant by the term, transition con-
glomerates " in geology. Many lit
tie PARTICLES of various shapes seem
ed to have been brought in contact
with each other, CONCEALED and the
whole mass covered over smoothly
with ice. 1t had evidently been sub
jected TO Il temperature far below
that necessary to produce ice, as nu-
merous hair line cracks running from
the center nearly to the surface
showed the irresistible law Of ofexpan-
sion had been called into action.
Strange to say, while these pure
balls of ice pelted the leaves from
the trees, made the pigs squeal and
holses prance about frantically, they
did not hurt one stalk of corn or
cotton, not even tender vegetable
plant on the place. You see the
overflow never ceased to run through
the gap in the levee opposite Inc un-
til the 10th. Of this month, and !
have not had a chance to pillow, much
less plant. What strange things
happen! and yet "we are not happy"
