A MAMMOTH TURKEY.
Improving the Breed. —R. H. Avery
of Wampsville, Madison county, New
York, is entitled to the first prize of honor
for improvement in the breed of turkeys.
From a cross of the American wild turkey,
made fourteen years ago upon the best do
mesticated birds, of pure black color, that
could be obtained, and by careful attention
to breeding since that time, he has suc
ceeded in producing a male bird, two
years old last June, of superlative beauty,
of glossy black plumage, that weighs 34
pound alive; and a female bird, two vears
old, weighing 20.£ pound alive; and a fe
male bird one year old, dressed ready for
the spit 15J- pound weight; and as the
stock has been continuously improving
both in size, beauty of form and plumage,
for years, it is impossible to determine any
limit. He has lately procured a pair of
pure wild birds from Canada, for the pur
pose of infusing a new strain of wild
blood into his stock whenever he sees a
chance to improve. The ordinary weight
of male turkeys, two years old. as they
are prepared for the market, will not ex
ceed 15 pound; and a female of eight
pound is accounted a very good one.
This is bv way of showing how great
is Mr. Avery's improvement, and to en
courage others to go and do likewise.—
There is one other point of encourage
ment, that is. the price which such a bird
commands. As a good Republican during
the l3te Presidential contest, Mr. Avery
determined to ofier this magnificent turkey
as a thanksgiving offering to the candidate
of his choice it elected; but. as he could
not have the satisfaction of presenting him
to Col. Fremont, he was willing that any of
the friends of Mr. Buchanan should have
the honor of presenting him upon his in
auguration day to serve as member of his
(kitchen) Cabinet, provided they were
abl * and willing to pay the price of a
dollar a pound. To this point Mr. J. M.
Mathews of Dey street concluded to come,
and forwarded the bird by express to
?Y ashington, where we understand the
noble bird is dividing the attention of vis
itors between himself and his new owner.

THE GREATEST
MEDICAL DISCOVERY
OF THE AGE.
DR. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, has discovered
in one of our common pasture weeds a
remedy that cures
Every Kind of Humor
from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple.
HE has tried it in over 1100 cases, and never failed ex
cept in two cases, (both thunder humor.) He has
now In his possession over two hundred certificates of
its virtue,all within twenty miles of Boston.
Two bottles are warranted to cure a nursing Sore
Mouth.
One to three bottles will cure the worst ItiuJ of Pimples
OR tile Face
Two to three bottles will clean the system of Biles.
Two bottles are warranted to cure the worst Canker
in the Mouth and Stomach.
Three to five bottles are warranted to cure the worst
case of Erysipelas.
One to two bottles are warranted to cure all Humor in
the eyes.
Two bottles are warranted to cure Running of the
Ens and Blotches among the Hair.
Four to six bottles are u arranted to cure corrupt and
running L leers.
tine bottle will cure Scaly Eruption of the .*kin.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the worst
case of Ringworm.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the most
desperate case of Rheumatism.
Three to four bottles are warranted to cure the Salt
Rheum.
Five to eight bottles will cure the worst case of Scrof
ula.
A benefit i 9 always experienced from the first bottle,
and a perfect cure is warranted w hen the above quanti
ty is taken.
Reader, 1 peddled over a thousand bottles of ihis in the
vicinity of 80-ton. I know the effect of it in every case
go sure as water wilt extinguish fire, so sure will this
cure buoior. I never sold a bot'le of it but that sold an
other; after a trial il always speaks for itself. There
are two things about this herb that appears to rue sur
prising; first that it grows in our pastures, in some pta
ces quite plentiful, and yet its value has never been
know n ur.til I discovered it in lsl6 —stcond, that it should
cure all kinds of humor.
In order to give some idea of the sudden rise and great
popularity of the discovery, t wili state that in April,
liM. 1 (Middled it and sold about six bottles per day—in
April, I*sl. i sold over one thousand bottles per day of it.
Some of the wholesale Druggists who have letii in
business twenty and thirty years, say that nothing in the
annals of patent medicines was ever like it. There is a
universal praise of it from all quarters.
In my own practice I always kept it strictly for humors
—but since its introdnction as a general family medicine,
great and wonderful virtues have been found in it that I
never suspected.
Several cases of epileptic fits—a disease which was
always considered incurable, have been cured by a few
bottles. O, what a mercy if it will prove effectual in alt
cases of that awful malady—there are few who have
seen more of it than I have.
I know of several cases of Dropsy, all of them aged
people, cured by it For the various diseases of ibe l.iv
er, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthma, Fever and Ague.
Pain in the Side, Diseases of the Spine, and particularly
in diseases of the Kidney-. Ac . ihe discovery has done
more good than any medicine ever known.
No change of diet ever ne< essary eat the best you
get and plenty of it.
DiaEtTlo.vs FOB I'SE —Adults one table spoonful per
day—Children over 10 years, dessert spoonful —Children
from 5 toS years, tea-epounful. As no directions can be
applicable to all constitutions, take suffii tent to operate
on the bowels tw ice a day.

MANNY'S COMBINED
Mowing and Reaping Machine.
WITH WOOD'S IMPROVEMENT,
For the Harvest of 1857.
i LL persons desirous of getting this celebra-
machine will picase send in their or
dei- early, to pre vent delay and disappointment
as was the case in so many instances last seas
on. This machine took the premium at York,
Huntingdon, Cat lisle Chambersburg, Harris
burg. Beilefonte, and other places too numerous
Jto mention. East summer we had hundreds of
testimonials and official reports, vouching the
superiority of this machine over all others now
! in use. This machine excels all others in the
following points, viz: Its easy convertibility
from a Mower to a Reaper and vice versa-, its
construction for adaptation to uneven surface :
the ease with which it can be raised or lowered,
for cutting from two inches to eighteen inches
from the ground, which is done by means of a
lever controlled by the driver while in his seat;
its ease of draft, portability, and cleanness and
ease of cut. Many of these features are pat
ented and cannot be embodied in any other ma
chine, and all will admit how essential arid in
dispensable they are to a complete combined
machine. With each machine will be furnish
ed two scythes, two extra guards, two extra
sections, one extra pinion and wrench.
They are warranted to give satisfaction, eith
er as a Mower or Reaper, or no sale.

.Mr. H. M. Bow man —Dear Bir: 1 feel i: my duty to let
you know what your compound has done for my daugh
ter, and wish you to publish it if you can tri hope that
some suffering one may be induced bv it to try* your va!
tiable medicine and be cured. My daughter was married
in 1*53, and went to Cincinnati to live, w here her hus
j band (James Hoyl,) was engaged in business. In six
I months after her husband died, and I sent for her to couie
borne, wiw-re in four months she was con fined and caught
; cold w hieh settled on her lungs. It seemed as though we
| could get nothing to help her We tried six different
physicians for over one year and then sent to New York
to a celebrated phygiciin there, and she took medicine
from him for eight months; but he could not cure her.—
Her cough was fixed and stubborn and seemed as though
it would tear her breast during the paroxysm of cough,
and her breathing was at times very difficult. Failing to
get relief from physician-, we thought we would try AV
er's Cherry Pectoral, and she took it regular for seven
weeks, but it did her nn perinanentgood. We then tried
Sellers' Imperial Cough Syrup, but with all she still be
j came worse, and it seemed as though she was beyond
| cure, w hen one day my wife was in at one of our neigb-
I bor"> bouses (Mr Mayness') and she saw them give your
Vegetable Compound to one of their children for a cough
i and she got Ihree or four doges to bring home and try jt.
, After my* daughter had taken it she breathed a little ras-
I ler, and we sent and got a holtle of it, and w hen it was
I taken there was a marked change for the better. I then
I got six bottles, the most of which she leok as directed
until finally cured—it is three mouths since, and she has
not had a symptom of the old complaint, ami is getting as
lusty as she ever was. We all unite in our prayers to
G.-d that you may be prospered and that your Vegetable
Compound may be the means of restoring heillh to uiam ,

considered dangerous nowadays to keep on band
bank notes, the proprietor of the People's Store
would again invite attention to his magnificent
depository for replenishing the outer man and

money, which accommodating establishment is
in East Market street, and can readily be

beautiful goods and wares and' "that sign."
which, like the Star spangled banner, is fanned
by every breeze. The Ladies, gentlemen, mer
chants, traders, farmers, laborers, and all oth
ers are therefore invited to a grand display (ad
mission free) of a most extensive, beautiful, and
cheap stock of Staple and Fancy Goods. The
exhibition will remain open every morning, af

all concerned are requested to call early and
procure good seats. The performance com

(Crape Shawls from $.6 up,) which for beauty,
neatness, fineness, finish, cheapness, and all the
other etceteras, exceeds anything of the kind
