ORANGE QUINCE. — This fruit is of re
cent introduction in many localities, where
its habitudes are not yet fully understood.
It takes high rank among culinary fruits,
aud is eminently deserving all the atten
tion and care that can be bestowed upon it.
Salt is an excellent manure far the orrange
aoince. Prepare rich, deep loam by care
ful digging, and having transplanted your
trees, sow on about four quarts of salt to
each tree, taking care to apply it over the
surface to the entire extent of the surface
shaded by the limbs, but not in immediate
contact with the trunk. Over this spread
a small quantity of hay or grass, saturated
with salt. This process of mulching will
be found both efficient and economical,
and will tend to protect the trees from the
attacks of insectivorous depredators, as
well as to secure a vigorou developement
of the spongiolcs—the genuine lac/ads of
of the vegetable system. The saw and
pruuing-knife should be used but sparingly
during the hrst years of its growth.
CLARIFYING LARD OIL FOR THE HAIR
—To every 20 pints of lard oil add one of
alcohol; place them in a clean glass ves
sel and shake them frequently for about
two days, after which allow them to stand
until they become quite clear and a sedi
ment has fallen to the bottom. Pour off
the clear and use it for hair oil. It may
be colored a light purple with alkanet
root, and also scented with the essential
oi! of lavender, rosemary, bergamot, Arc.
Maintaining the same proportion of parts
by measure—one of alcohol to twenty of
lard—s pint of the latter may be clarified
as well as twenty.
GINGER BEER. —Two gallons of ginger
beer may be made as follows:—Put two
gallons of cold water into a pot upon the
fire; acid to it two ounces of good ginger,
and two pounds of white or brown sugar.
Let all this come to the boil, and continue
boiling for half an hour. Then skim the
liquor and pour it into a jar or tub, along
with one sliced lemon, and half an ounce
of cream of tartar. When nearly cold,
put in a teacupfu! of yeast to cause ihe li
quor to work. The brer is now made;
and after it has worked two days, strain it
and bottle it for use. Tie the corks down
firmly.
WASHING SILVERWARE. —It seems that
housekeepers who wash their silverware
with soap and water, as the common prac
tice is, do not know what they are about.
The proprietor of one of the oldest silver
establishments in the city of Philadelphia
says that housekeepers ruin their silver by
washing it in soapsuds; it makes it look
like pewter. Never put a particle of soap
about your silver and it will retain its orig
inal lustre. When it wants polish take a
piece of soft leather and whiting, and rub
it hard.
RICE CAKES. —BoiI rice until it is soft,
and while it is warm make it into cakes or
flat ba;.s. Dip these balls into a beaten
egg, and then roil them into Indian meal
till thoroughly coated. '1 his done, frv
them i.i laid, which is better than butter
for this purpose. Serve them with sauce,
or with butter and cream and s gar.
MOI LDINESS. —I ruit jellies may be pre
served from mouldiness, by covering the
surface one-fourth of an inch deep with
finely pulverized luaf sugar. Thus pro
tected they will keep in good condition for
ten years.

Allegheny, July 19, 1856
Mr. II M. Bowman—Dear Sir:—l feel it my duty tolet
you know w hat your compound has done for my daugh
ter, and wish you to publish it if you can in hope that
i some suffering one may be induced by it to try your val
I uahle medicine and lie cured. My daughter was u arried
j in 1553, and went to Cincinnati to live, where her hus-
I hand (J imes Hoy!,) was engaged in business. In six
months after tier husband died, and I sent for her to come
home, where iiy four months she wascontined and caught
cold which settled on her lungs. It seem-d as though we
could gel nothing to help her. We tried six different
physicians for over one year and then settl to N-wfl®k-rk
to a celebrated physiciin there, and <he took medicine
frntn 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 physicians, we thought we would try AV
er's Cherry Pectoral, and she took it regular for seven
weeks, but it did her no permanent good We then tried
Sellers' Imperial tough Syrup, but with all she still be
came worse, and il seemed as though she was beyond
cure, hen one day my wife w.is in at one of our neigh
bor's houses (Mr Majness') and she saw them give your
Vegetable Compound to one of their children for a cough
and she got three or four doses to bring home and try it.
After iny daughter had taken it she breathed a little eas
ier, and we seal and got a bottle of it, and when it was
taken there was a inaikcd change for the better. 1 then
got six bottles, the most of which she took as directed
until finally cured—it is three months siiw e, and she has
not had a symptom of the old complaint, and i* gelling as
lusty as she ever was. We all unite in our prayers to
God that you may be prospered and that your Vegetable
Compound nay ie the means of restoring health to many,
as it lias to one w ho is dear to us ; we cheerfully recruit
nieiiii ii to the public as ihe best medicine for Lung Dis.

DR. KENNEDY, of Roxburv, has discovered
in one of ou> common pasture treed.? a
remedy that cures
Every Kind of" llimsor
from the worst 4cwflil down to a common Pimple.
HE has tried it in over 118 cases, and never failed ex

Five to eight bottles will cure the worst case cf tserof-
A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle,
and a perfect cure is warranted when the above quanti-
Reader, I peddied over a thousand bottles of this in the
vicinity of 80-ton. 1 know the effect ..fit in every case
Sr. sure as water will extinguish fire, so sure will this
cure humor. I never sold a botile of it but that sold an
other; after a trial it always speaks for itself. There
are two things about tbu herb that appears to me sur
prising; first that it grows in our pastures, in some pta
ces quite plentiful, and yet us value has never been
known until I discovered it in Its 10 —second, that it should
cure all kinds of humor.
in order to give some idea of the sudden rise ard great
popularity of the discovery, I w ill state that in April,
1553.1 peddled it and sold about six bottles per day—in
April. 1554, Isold over one thousand bottles per day of it.
Some of the wholesale Druggists who have been in
business twenty and thirty years, say that nothing in the
annals of patent medicines was everjike it. There is a
universal praise of it from all quarters.
In my own practice I always kept it strictly for humors
bu: since its introduction 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
bollles. O, what a mercy if it will prove effectual in ali
cases of that awful malady—there are few who have
seen more of it than 1 have.
I know of several c*sesof Dropsy, all of tb.-m ige-i
people, cured by it. For the various diseases.if ibe LIT
IT, Sick Headache. Dyspepsia, Asthma, Fever and Ague,
Pain in the Side, Diseases of the Spine, and particularly
in disease- of liie Kidneys. 4c , the discovery has duut
more goodi ban any medicine ever known.

MANNY'S COMBINED
Mowing and Reaping Machine.
WITH WOODS IMPROVEMENT,
For the Harvest of 1857.
\LL persons desirous of getting this celebra
ted machine will please send in their or
ders early, to prevent delay and disappointment
as was the ca-e in so many instances last seas
on. This machine took the premium at Y'ork,
Huntingdon, Carlisle, Chambersburg, Harris
ourg, Beliefonte, and othei places too numerous
to mention. Last summer we had hundreds cf
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 ot 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 and 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.

HIGHLY' ISPORTAYT TO FARMERS.
M. M. FAXON'S
Attachment of Vulcanized India Rubber
Spring to the Tubes oj Grain Drills.
rpilE undersigned, having perfected an arrangement for
> the attachment of a Gum Spring to the Tubes and
i Bars of G r a: >> Drills, is happy to inform Farmers
j and all others interested in the growing (i f Wheat and
! nnwr ra ' nS ' ,hat he is Pupated lo furnish GRAIN
j DRILLS, with the above article attached, at the shortest
• notice, at hi* Foundry, in McVeytown, Pa. Seeders have
become an almost indispensable article to the Farmer
and he will find that the attachment of ibe Gum Spring
will enhance its value at least one-half. All the deteif
ti°n and trouble caused by the breaking of wooden pins
is entirely done away with by tbis arrangement, and a
man, or boy, can perform nearly double the labor that he
, = ou,d "nder the old plan, with much greater ease,both to
i himself and horses. There need be no fear of the Spring
, breaking, fur if there is an article that will neither break,
rot, or wear out. the Gum Spring is that article, and I
; hazard nothing in saying that my Grain Drill is the sim
| plest in construction, most economical in performance,
j and therefore the most durable ever offered to the agri
j cultural public. The feed is so arranged that it will sow
1. If. it, U, and 2 bushels per acre. Persons desiring
one lor the coming seeding are requested to send in their
! orders as early as possible. Direct to McVeytown Mif
