EMIGRATED from this office on Wednes day morning last, the Junior Editor. Be coming tired of a lonesome life in this region, ho struck a bee-line for the state of niatri wony, since which time he has not been heard from. He left with our best wishes for his success and prosperity; but we can not refrain fiom expressing the belief that it was only his inexperience in the felicities of editorial life that induced this rash step. However, in as much as the thing is done, suggest to all kindly disposed persons, w,io naturally take an interest in new settlers o: this class, that & corresponding increase 0- pattonage is respectfully solicited at this office. ! PAYING FARMIKO. —Two things are true of I farmers as a class. But few of them ever i come to cctnal want, and but few ever attain to great wealth. Probably no business af fords so sure an avenue of support, and this I is no small consideration in these days of fluctuations. The majority of farmers feel : that farming is perpetual slavery, because that after hard steady work from cue year's j end to the other, they find themselves at the ! end of the year just where they started from, | The price of farm products are high, the far | mer is economical, sells the best of every j thing, denies himself and family, is up early j and late, and just keeps his head above wat ! er. We tbink tbia is a truthful picture of the majority of farmers. A few like John Johnston, of Geneva, New York, rise grad ually from this condition to one of abundant wealth. W hat makes the difference be tween these two classes? We answer that in every case the difference is in head work. j The majority of farmers tread right on in the j old paths regardless of the immense improve imenta that have been made in modern agri culture, improvements as important as the j application of steam in mechanics or the loom |;o manufacturing. Suppose a manufacturer j disregarding the fact of the loom should at tempt to make cloth as our grandmothers made it? why he could not come into compe tition at all with other manufacturers and would lose ground. He would stand in jus' the position that thousands of farmers occu py, who ignore the modern improvements in the cultivation of the soil. We are aware that the information necessary to the farmer has been locked up in many costly volumes written in a scientific language that the far mer did not understand, but this difficulty has now been overcome aud the whole sub jecl has been reduced into one ordinary sized volume, written in the plainest and most practical manner; (it is entitled " How to Make the Farm Fag." This volume treats of every subject in which the farmer is inter ested. The first chapter treats of drainage as the foundation of all improved culture, and gives plain practical rules for all the operations of drainage. The second chapter treats of plowing, show ing when, where, how, and what to plow. The third chapter is upon manures, and is one of the most interesting and valuable we have ever seen; it shows just bow aud where the manure goes to waste, and how at a very trifling expense the manure can be doubled in quantity, quality and value. There are also fuil directions for the purchase aud use of commercial fertilizers after the most has been made of what every farmer has at his hand. This chapter if read, and its direc j tions followed, would surely double the wealth of every farmer in ten years. Chapter four treats of the purchase, use and care of all Farm Implements. Chapter five of the cul tivation of grain. Chapter six of grasses and bay making. Chapter seven of root crops: and chapter eight on special crops and the ! rotation of crops. This chapter gives the latest information on the cultivation of cot ton, rice, tobacco, flax, hemp, hops, beets tor sugar, Ac., Ac. Chapters nine to twelve inclusive, treat of domestic animals, breeding, raising, care, management, and feeding, and particularly of all diseases of domestic animals with plain, simple remedies. No man who owns a single animal can afford to be without the information con- j tained in those four chapters. Chapters | thirteen to eighteen treat of the cultivation of j large and small fruits, showing how millions 1 of acres of now almost profiiless lands may i be made to yield large and paying crops, how j every farmer may make S2OO to S6OO per j acre from apples or grapes. The young men j who read these chapters and commence j farming on these principles will not be the j poor plodders their predecessors have been. ! Untold wealth is in store for those who catch J the ideas and spirit of this book. Chapter ' nineteen treats of the planning and building j of farm buildings. Chapter twenty of Market J Gardening and Farmers' Gardens. Chapter ' twenty-one of various miscellaneous items, ; as fences, farm laborers, forest trees, Ac., Ac. Chapter twenty two contains nearly j three hundred choice receipts for cooking, j preserving, Ac., and the last chapter gives the symptoms and remedies for the ordinary diseases of children and adnlts, with direc tions for preserving the health, and other matters of interest. We think we are justified in saying that so much information of use to ! the farmer is not to be had for ten times the ! price anywhere else. The book, as the j reader will notice from the description in our paper, has one hundred and forty illustrations, which we have neither time or space to describe. WE say buy this book if you wish to learn the secrets ot Paying Farming. See advertisement in another column. AXD when Abraham and the people beheld the wonderful cures which were produced by this drink, Abraham said, "My children must not suffer; give me thy drink to drink, and I will give it a name." And so Abraham drank, and said there was nothing like it, even in Sangamon county ; that it was bitter to the lips, but good for the stomach ; and because there were bitter times in fighting the masters of the plantations; it shall be forevermore called PLANTATION BIT TERS; and so it has been. And the wonderful work which it has per formed is witnessed at this day in every town, parish, villiage and hamlet throughout all the world. And he said, "Let it be proclaimed through out the length and breadth of the land, from the valleys and mountain-tops, that all who suffer from fevers, dyspepsia, weakness, loss of appetite, nervous headache, and mental despondancy, will find relief through the PLASTATIO* BITTERS. Tbev add tone to the stomach, and brilliancy to the mind, of which I, O people, am a living example." NEW PUBLICATION. —We have just received from Messrs. Cos.

MrrCAU—lf you want insurance against lire, stock companies are to be preferred. Mutual companies never insure you, you in sure them , for they can assess you to death to make up their losses. At the Troy fire a model New York State Mutual lost $12.">,0G0, and levied an assessment of eighty-nine per cent, on its premium notes, and then gave up tbe ghost! Two of the largest, soundest and healthiest companies, conducted on the stock plan, are the -ETNA of Hartford, and tbe NIAGARA of New York. These com panies are located in States that have an In surance Commissioner and they are bound under oath to make a faithful exhibit of their assets, which aggregate more than seven mil lion dollars.

Does not reason tell us that judicious stimulation is required. To resort to violent purgation iu such a case is as absurd as it would be to bleed a starving man. Yet it is done every day. Yes, this stupid and un philosophical practice is continued in the teeth of the great fact that physical weakness, with all the nervous disturbances that ac company it, is more certainly and rapidly re lieved by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters than by any other medicine at present known. It is true that general debility is often attended with torpidity or irregularity of the bowels, and that this symptom must not be over looked. But while the discharge of the waste matter of the system is expedited or regu lated, its rigor must be recruited. The Bit ters do both. They combine aperient and ami-bilious properties, with extraordinary tonic power. Even while removing ob structions from the bowels, they tone and in vigorate those organs. Through the stomach, upon which the great vegetable specific acts directly, it gives a healthy and permanent im petus to every enfeebled function. Digestion is facilitated, the faltering circulation regu lated, the blood reinforced with a new acces sion of the alimentary principle, the nerves braced, and all the dormant powers of the system roused iuto healthy action; not spasmodically, as would be the case if a mere stimulant were administered, but for a con tinuance. It is in this way that such ex traordinary changes arc wrought in the con dition of the feeble, emaciated and nervous invalids by the use of this wonderful cor rective, alterative and tonic. Let common sense decide between such a preparation and a prostrating cathartic supplemented by a poisonous astringent like strychnine or qui nia. lJanlm MARK UTS. BEDFORD~M ARRETS.

Bedford, Nov. 18, 1860 .Sim 1 HSYO OI A YER'S CATHARTIC PILLS, -UA- FOR PURIFYING TIIE BLOOD, Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re quired by everybody as cathartic, n-.r was" evei any before to universally adopted into use. in every country and among ail clusses, as this mild but efficient purgative PILL. The obvious rea son it, that it is a more reliable and far more ef fectual remedy than any other. Those who have tried it, know that it cured them : those who havs not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it does once it does al ways—that it never fails through any fault ot neglect of its composition. We have thousand! upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cures are known in every neighborhood, and we reed not pnblish them. Adapted to all ages and con - ditions in all climates ; containing neither calo mel or anv deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Then sugar coatinc preserves them ever fresh and makes tbem pleas ant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can rise from their use in any quantity. They operate by their powerful in luence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimu late it into healthy action-—remove the obstruc tions of the stomach, bow's, liver, and other or guns of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist such derangements as ara the iirst o-igin of dis case. Minute directions are given in the wrrpper on the box. for tbe following complaints, which these PILLS rapidly cure : For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LIST LESSNESS, LANGUOR and LOSS OF APPE TITE, they should be taken moderately to stim ulate the stomach and restore its healthy .tone and actior. For LIVER COMPLAINT and its various STinptoms. BILIOUS HEADACHE, SICK HEACACIIE, JAUNDICE or GREEN SICK NESS, BILIOUS COLIC A BILIOUS FEVERS, they should be judiciously taken ."or each case, to correct tbe diseased action or remove tie obstruc tions wbicb cause ii. For DYSENTERY or DIARRHOEA, but one mild dose is generally required. For RHEUM ATISM, GOUT, GRAVEL, PAL PITATION OF THE HEART, PAIN IN TIIE SIDE, BACK and LOINS, they shoJld l>e con tinuously taken, a required, to cbno-c tbe dis eased action of the sy-tem. With -och change those complaints disappear. For DROPSY and DROPSICAL SWELLINGS they should be taken in large and frequent doses to produce the effect of a dra tic purge. For SUPPRESSION a la'ge dose should be ta ken as it produces tbe desired effect by sympathy. As a DINNER PILL, take one or two PILLS to promote digestion and relieve the stomach. AD occasional dose stimulates tbe stomach and bowels into bealtby ai lion, restores tbe appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often advantageous where no serious derangement ex ists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these Pills makes him feel decided ly better, from their cleansing and renovating ef fect on the digestive rpparatus. DR. J. C.
