The Great Remedies for all Diseases of the LIVER, STOMACII, OR DIGESTIVE ORG AN" S. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS Is composed of the pure juices., (or, as they are medicinally termed, Extracts,) of Roots, Herbs, ri and Barks, mak ing a preparation, highly concentrat ed, and entirely free front alcoholic admixture of any kind. ELOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC Is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bitters, with the purest quality of Santa. Cruz Rum, Orange, &c., making one of the most pleasant and agreeable remedies ever offered to the public. Those preferring a medicine free from Al coholic admixture, will use HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS. Those who have no objection to the com bination of the Bitters, as stated, will use HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC They are both equally good, and contain the same medicinal virtues, the choice be tween the two tieing a mere matter of taste, the Tonic being the most palatable. The Stomach, from a variety of causes, such as Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Nervous Debility, etc., is very apt to have its functions deranged ni The Liver, sympa thizing as it does with the Stomach, then becomes affected, the result of which is that the patient milers from sev eral or more of the following diseases : Constipation, Flatulence.lnward Piles, Ful ness of Blood to the Head, Acidity of the Stomach, Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for Food, Fulness or Weight in the Stomach, Sour Eructations, Sinking, or Fluttering at the Pit of the Stomach, Swimming of the Head, Hurried or Diffi cult Breathing,Fluttering at the Heart, Choking or Suffocat ing Sensations when in a LyingPos tore, Dimness of Vision, Dots or Webs before the Sight, Dull Pain in the Head, Deficiency of Perspiration, Yellowness of the Skin and Eyes, Pain in the Side, Back, Chest, Limbs, etc., Sudden Flushes of Heat, Burning in the Flesh, Constantlmaginimv ' s of Evil, and G real Depression of Spirits. The sufferer from these diseases should exercise the greatest caution in the selection of a remedy fur his case, purchasing only that which he is as mired from his in vestigations and inquiries, possesses true merit, is skill I, j fully compounded, is free from Mimi ous ingredients, and has established for itself a reputation for the cure of those diseases.

A tone and vigor is imparted to the whole system, the appe tite is strengthened, tbod is enjoyed, the stomach digests promptly, the blood is puri fied, the complexion becomes sound and healthy, the yellow tinge is eradicated from the eyes, a bloom is given to the cheeks, and the weak and nervous invalid becomes a strong and healthy being. 11.50 A. 11 62.1 • s.or, " ENS PERSONS ADVANCED IN LIFE, And feeling the hand of time weighing heav ily upon them, with all its attendant ills, will find in the use of this BITTERS, or the TONIC, an elixir that will instil new life into their veins, restore in a measure the energy and ardor of more youthful days, build up their shrunken forms, and give health and happiness to their remaining years. IL is a well-established fact that fully one half of the female portion of our pop ulation are seldom T in the enjoyment of good health ; or, to j use their own ex pression, " Never feel well." They are languid, devoid of all energy, extreme ly nervous, and have no appetite. To this class of persons the BITTERS, or the TONIC, is especially recomtnended.

However, it appears very probable that among the (flubs in England in the last century, one was formed under the name of "The Club of Odd Fellows." Whatever many have been the particular purpose of its original formation, it no doubt soon embraced the principles of benevolent union for the assistance of each other, and in process, and with the improve ments of time became a secret order, and arrived at its present extent and impor tance. This scents to be the most rational and feasible account of its origin and name. Attempts have been made to trace its origin far back in the army of Cyrus the Great, and the annals of ancient Rome, bat there is nothing reliable on which to rest an argument, and it appears to be the mere fabrication of those desirous of giving it an antiquity, unwarranted by even the semblance, or trace of historical fact prior to the era above mentioned, when for the first time the name appears in history, and from which time to tie present it cannot be mistaken. The antiquity of the principles of Odd Fellowship are unquestioned ; they were first proclaimed on the morn of creation, when the stars sang together, and the hosts of ECAVeII shouted for joy, and again in .Tide`, when the angelic hosts hovering over the place where lay the infant Messiah, s'umg the heavenly anthem, " peace on earth and good will to Irian." These are the principles or our "fellow ship," being none other than the attributes of the Deily. It hardly needs an argument to prove that the name is admirably adapted to awaken curiosity. The mere mention of an " Odd Fellow" or " a society of Odd Fellows," can scarcely fail to prompt a desire of knowing, in what the man or society differs from others, and in what oddity consists. Singularity excites atten tion, and 'when joined with mystery, must be a powerful means of causing curiosity. May there not have been wisdom in the adoption of such It tido, which, while it proclaims the singularity of the institution, gives no information as to what it consists in. mid this may have been the means of attracting num hers into the ranks of Odd Fellnvship, who have found from it, other and greater benefits than the mere gratifica tion which they sought in entering it. The words " Fellow" and "Fellowship" in timir pure sense, denote a relation—and a kind relation to others. " Fellow" has by the intluenee of an unaceounte bhf custom frerlitently been, and is now used as a terra of contempt, but in the true classical English sense of the word, it implies a relbrenee of equality mind kindness to others. Thus we say "good fellowshiP." and the words are thus used in alio Bible. In one passage (which might well be our motto) it is said. "If they fall, the one will lift up Lis " fellow." "'They gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of " fellow ship."—Oal. 2-9. " That which we have seen and heard, declare we unto you, that ye always have 'fellowship' with us." Other passages might be quoted to prove the kind, mind friendly signification of the words. Arc they not, then exceedingly appropriate when applied to an institution, the great object of which is to assist each other in the diseases and disasters of life? " If one fall, his fellows lift him up," and in prosperity to cultivate mutual kind " fellowship" and benevolence. Our "fel lowship" is a sublime institution, having for its fundamental principles, universal benevolence and brotherly love, stimulating its members to deeds of charity, and con ferring upon them dignity and respect, to the thin:rut heart furnishing a balm for every affliction, tempering and controlling the passions, fortifying the heart and pre paring us for "fellowship" with the angelic host, and spirits of the just made perfect, in the celestial city not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Early Life of General Grant---By His Father. • The General comes of' a good fighting stock. His great grandfather, Capt. Noah C rant, a native of Windsor, now Tolland, Connecticut, was killed in the battle at White Plains, in 1750 ; his great grand dither's brother, Lieutenant Solomon Grant, was killed in the same battle. I have in my possession an original muster roll made out by Captain Noah Grant, in 1755—the year before his death. His own name heads it as captain. Captain Noah Grant's son, Noah Grant, also a native of Connecticut, was my father; and if he did not get killed in battle like his worthy sire, it was not because he did not perseveringly take all the chances of such a death, for he fought in the Revo lutionary War, from beginning to end— over seven years. He was a lieutenant of militia at the battle of Lexington. This long period of soldiering spoilt him for all financial business. My mother—who was his second wife—was nn excellent manager; and, while she lived, the family were al ways in comfortable circumstances ; but after her death—in April, 1805—we had to separate, and that impressed upon the minds of all of us a lesson which we never forgot. She left seven children—the oldest only twelve. I was born in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, January 23, 1794. When I was five years of age, I was taken by my father, who emigrated with his family to that part of the Northwestern Territory which is now Columbiana. county, Ohio. Wheu I was ten years of age, we moved to Portage county, in the Western Reserve. At sixteen, I was regularly apprenticed to my half-brother, to learn the tanning busi ness, at Maysville, Kentucky. I faithfully served out nay apprenticeship; and, soon after I became of age, set up business for myself, at Ravenna, Portage county, Ohio. Hero I suffered a severe and protracted illness from fever and ague, which finally compelled me to relinquish business. The savings of four years were consumed by the expenses of this sickness. In 1820 I settled temporarily at a small place called Point Pleasant, situated directly on the Ohio River, twenty-five miles above Cin cinnati; and, in June, 1.820, I was married to Miss Hannah Simpson, and commenced housekeeping at that place. Here, on the 27th day of April, 1822, our first Ulysses S. Grant, was born. The house in which this occurred is still standing. Mrs. Grant was the second daughter of Mr. John Simpson, of Montgomery county, Pennsylvania. She was born and brought up in that county, about twenty miles from Philadelphia. When in her nineteenth year she removed with her father to Cler mont county, Ohio. The family were very highly respected; people of veracity and integrity ; but not of any particular am bition beyond that of living independent ilu•aners. Mrs. Grant's dither was worth some property ; but it was all in land, and he kept it until he died. It was nearly three years after their removal to Clermont that we were married. 'At the time .;:if our marriage, Mrs. Grant was an unpreilandinz country girl Lhand some,._but.......i. vain. She had previously zSe( - . ii - ed,,tho,,Me hodlst chnrch;,an,d I can truthfully say hat it has never blidai'indie devoted and consistent member. Her steadiness, firmness, and strength of char acter have been the stay of the family through life. She was always careful, and most watchful over her children ; but never austere, and not opposed to their free par ticipation in innocent tun asentents.—X. Y. Ledger. Inside a Printing Office. The composing room of a printing office is about as productive of various questions, and elicits as much curiosity from visitors, as any place of business we know of. The first thing a visitor does is to step up to a case where lingers are at. work and watch every motion with perfect steadfast ness ; looks into the compositor's face to see where his eyes are; the process looks mysterious, and questions follow about like this: "How do you know where to rind the let ters? Are they arranged in order? How do you know when they are right side up? What is the reason that there is more type in some boxes than the others? I should think you would make mistakes; you ought to have the boxes marked. Don't you get the wrong letters sometimes? Looking around he spies in a corner a lot, of "something" that calls forth, " what are these?" Compositor—" Quads." Visitor—" What's quads ?" Compositor explains. Next finds the forms which another person is distributing. Visitor—" Tearing 'em down, eh ?" Compositor—•` Yes." "Can you do that faster than you can set? What makes you wet the type? (Looking at the form.) Why, it's all up side down ! Is that the way it always is?' Yon can't read it, can you ?" Next goes round the press and finds the roller, puts his fingers on it, and gets them dyed a shade or two darker than their ori ginal color. " What's this roller mode of—lndia rub ber'?" Compositor—"No, of glue and molasses." Visitor—" Of molasses ! I should think it would melt." Colo positor—" iL geLA Wit l's enough." 3fis next fall is upon the paper wet down, ready for press. Visitor—" Why, this paper is all : 110 you have to do that?" Compositor—" Yes." Visitor—" What for ?" Compositor explains and wishes ho Arcola dry up. He looks around and finds a liwin of advertisements laid aside. lle runs his finger over a col WWI and knocks a whole square of it into confusion. Compositor looks cross, and says, you' cc k novice,' that into pi." Visitor whistles, and goes out when com positor ain't looking. An Editor. An editor has to use pen, scissors and brains however small, correct bad proofs, revise worse manuscripts, write pulls for nauseous medicines which he never tasted, attend theatres, concerts, balls, races, ex hibitions—in all of which he is expected to be deeply interested—give descriptions of riots and marriages, review new books, and answer all questions proposed to him by correspondents; he is expected to use all the lotions sent to him, swallow all the cough drops, candies and pills, to bear testimony to their value; to hear all the news, and comment upon it; to be ever ready to do anybody a service who asks it, free of all charge; to drink with every agent, mounte bank and sporting man, who wants a word in the paper; to call on all distinguished strangers, and show them the lions; to read over a thousand exchanges, destitute of in teresting news, and still select entertaining items from them; to announce the arrival and departure of all eminent citizens ; writo obituaries of all dignitaries ; putT all the host hotels and lie about the poor ones.

Oakes Smith has an article on "Choosing a Wife," from which wo make a few extracts: It is not wise to marry a woman of a different religious faith, nor one removed from your own social rank ; tit!) an ignorant woman. Do not marry a woman with thin lips and a glib tongue. Do not marry a sentimental woman, who is sure to run into the lack adasical one; lot her love sentiment, high, noble sentiment, but beware of the senti mental. 1)0 not marry one of the delicate, die-away women, who are sure to degener ate into invalids, and take a pride in their feebleness. Only handsome men and women ought to marry. Those having a means sana in ca pore sane. Let others look the matter squarely in the face, and admit that their imbecilities, their diseases, their unhand some looks, their discordant minds, ought not to be perpetuated ; and let them go to work manfully to make the best of them selves by eschewing marriage. Lot them be honest, hearty old maids and bachelors, earning money for the good of others, teaching, and farming, and helping on good and wholesome ideas. The true, good, and handsome men and women adapted to marriage ought to be treated with distinguished honor in the world, as benefactors of the race, as fore shadowing that beautiful future when we shall be hardly lower than the angels and covered with glory and honor. One reason why it is well to marry a pretty woman in preference to a plain one, is that the former is more free front jealousy and discontent than the latter. Being better satisfied with herself, she is more likely to be pleased with others. It is better to marry a full-sized woman than a little one, for the meanness of sta ture is apt to go through the character also. A. certain roundness of contour ; a compo sure and self-poise, devoid of heaviness or sluggishness; an elastic buoyancy, a bright uppish look, more of pride titan vanity; clear, open eye, and pure, child-like smile; hands and feet well proportioned, not too small, are outlines easily discriminated and constitute a safe, reliable character. A. cheerful woman, one who will not make mountains of mole hills ; who can find something, bright and beautifu i everywhere; who has pretty feminine resources, and knows how to devise ways and means to make others happy and content about her, is a jewel of inestimable wurth. The voice (not lor singing) is a great indicator or character. Swedenborg says the angels know the state of a man by his voice. Beware of those high, sharp tones of voice, as well as the too low and hesi tating; the first belongs to a shrew, and the last to deceit and imbecility. Cheerfulness of temper; candor that re jects every species of falsehood, and owns to the truth at any peril; tenderness, to be detected by a fondness for and faithful care of poets, rather than by outward express ions; purity, instinct in thought and action; Intelligence to appreciate all that is noble Anil good.; and health, sound and elastic, ame'traits to insure duty as a wife and hariPiness in a household. 1r ll.ow to Test Herose]ie ` Oil. -rre clip the following interesting article frOnt the Boston Jou3-nal of Chenthstry `` The shock ing- ecru rrence‘: called kero sekte lamb explosions, still continue to be reported in all parts of the country.

Dis seminate far and wide the information regarding kerosene presented in former numbers of the Journal. Consumers should test the kerosene they purchase. We will add a word to former directions given. Take a common quart bowl; till it one-third full of boiling water; now add cold water, a little at a time, until a ther mometer placed in it indicates a tempera ture of 110° F. A tablespoonful of the oil to be tested may be turned into the water, and stirred about with the thermometer. It will float on top, and it may be touched with a lighted watch or bit of paper, If it ignites, or takes tire, the oil is dangerous ; and the seller can be prosecuted under the United States law. It must not be used in the family. In this experiment, so simple that all can make it, an accurate thermom eter should be used. The common ther mometer in a japanned iron ease, is usually sufficiently accurate. To test the thermom eter, bring water into the condition of active boiling ; warm the thermometer gradually in the steam, and then plunge it into the water. If it indicates a fixed temperature of 212°, the instrument is a good one." Latest Style. in Chicago, when they ask you to drink, they say : "'Nominate your lamily disturbance."

Farmers sell too many of their beef cattle when they are in merely ordinary beef con dition. In doing this there is a twofold loss that but few consider. The animal yields a less number of pounds, and the meat brings a lower price. Between ordinary beef and really choice fat beef, there is always a dif ference of two or three cents per pound,and this difference, when added to the whole number of pounds, when the animal is in the best condition, will be found to be no mean amount. Nothing pays better than the few bushels of grain or •the few days upon good June grass, that puts the finish ing touch upon what is generally denomin ated a good beef animal. Those of our readers who have followed this often re peated advice in live stock market reports, are witnesses to its soundness. Do not be in a hurry to market under ordinary cir cumstances, until cattle are really fat. This same applies to all other market animals. STOCK. BREEDING IN THE WEST.—A com pany has been organized at St. Louis called the Importing and Stock Breeding Associ ation, for the purpose of furnishing improv ed breeds of all kinds of stock, to:the farmers of the West and South. It is to commence operations when 150,000 aro sub scribed, of which $20,000 are already raised. Wherever such associations have existed they have greatly improved the stock of their respective localities, and have been remunerative to the stockholders. The public, however, derive the principal profit out of them. So soon as the requisite amount of capital is obtained the St. Louis company intend to purchaseseveral hund red acres conveniently situated for a stock breeding farm. Then they intend to pur chase in the United States, Canada, Eng land and France, such stock as is most. suitable to our climate, and to meet the wants of 'Western and Southern farmers. Thorough-bred horses, draft and roadster animals, cattle best, for beef and dairy, long and due woolen sheep, and suitable for mutton, hogs suitable for packing mid butchers' use, and poultry of all descrip tions, will be purchased and bred. TtA'rs AND Mnm.—Farmers throughout Eastern Massachusetts have been exceed ingly annoyed and injured the present winter, by swarms of rats upon their prem ises. Late in the autumn, they wore found in the fields, tinder corn-shocks and hay stacks, and in the stone walls, in largo numbers. This was very unusual, and ex cited much remark. As soon ns the winter closed in, they retreated to the barns and dwellings. Cats, traps, and poison, did not sensibly diminish their numbers. At last free use was made of carbotate of lime about their holes and walks, and this proved ef fective. They suddenly disappeared, and. have not since returned.

PEACH TREES.— Planting the young trees by drawing out the roots in two different directions, so that by dia ! ging under the stein annually, the whole might be bent over as on a hinge, and prostrated for covering, we think must be one of the hest—the tree being trained fiat for this purpose. Our own experiments indicate that no covering is of much use unless the tree rests on .the earth, so that the warmth can come up from below. Wo would not use au earth covering unless the soil was quite gravely or sandy; ti heavier or snore compact soil would be apt to rot the buds. Training the trees by extending the branches along the row, keeping them low, and forming a rough roof over them for winter, has succeeded well at the West. A I".ki.unam: 1.11:::2.—A. correspondent of the New Hampshire Farmer says: Repeat ed trials on as many different pieces of land and each trial a complete success, have con vinced us that December, the time that we invariably cut brush, is tho best season, as at that time the growth of the year is evidently at an end. A valuable pasture ground of ours, overrun with bushes, which had been ninny times cut over by a former owner to no purpose, because cut in the spring season, was by us cut over in De cember, 1861, and to this time, a period of nearly seven years, not a bush sprouted or started, and the land though moist, is well stocked down to grass.
