SterCcultural, arc. OFR SINGING BIRDS. This is the month which brings back our annual songsters from the warm and shady groyes of the tropics where the most of them spend their Winter "season"— gay, frolicksome things that they are, lov ing fun and hilarity quite as well, and en joying themselves much more sensibly than a great majority of us who boast the , higher intelligence of humanity. Let the | wren and the blue-bird, the martin, and the j swallow boxes all be in their places. If you have them not, stick up a lot of oyster kegs —every body has or can get them now-a-days—in the trees for the wrens and blue-birds, put up sundry shelves —a bit of rough board eight inches square will do— for the phebes in the wood-house or back porch ; and have a nice well painted box for the martins. The swallows will take care of themselves under the barn, and sta ble eaves, through the air holes in the ga bles. under the edge of the roof inside on the rafters. The more of these things you have about you, the better. They cheer up the husbandman, please the house-wife, gladden the children, and make everything j seem happy and joyful. The tree and the forest birds will be 1 along, also. The meadow lark, and robin, thrush, and black-bird among the larger | shade trees, and the orchard; and, best lav- j ed of all, the sweet little song sparrow in j its quaker-brown coat, opening his music- j filled throat in the honeysuckle, or the li lac bush under the window, where it in tends to nestle for the Summer. Let not a gun, or an idle boy with murderous in tent be about your premises. These joy ous little birds are among our best benefac tors. We may sometimes be annoyed by what we thoughtlessly consider their dep redations; but they are only "tolling" their share of the fruits, which their labors in destroying the innumerable tribe of insects that would otherwise have preyed upon them hereafter, entitle them to. Sparc then the birds, and invite them to stay with and return to you every Spring with their delightful companionship.—Ameri can Agriculturalist. To Cut Glass with a Piece of Iron.— ; Draw with a pencil on paper any pattern to which you would have the glass conform; place the pattern under the glass, holding both together in the left hand, for the glass must not rest on auy plain surface, then take a common spike, heat the point of it to redness, and apply it to the edge of the glass, draw the iron slowly forward, and the edge of the glass will immediately crack; still move the iron slowly over the glass, tracing the pattern, and the clink in the glass will follow at the distance of about half an inch, in every direction, according to the motion of the iron. It may be found requisite, especially in forming corners, to apply a wet finger to the opposite side of the glass. The iron must be re-heated as often as the crevice in the glass ceases to flow.— Scientific Mechanic. A New Grafting Was. —A foreign jour nal describes a new grafting wax as follows: Take two ounces of common rosin, melt it slow over a fire, being careful not to heat it so much as to make it throw it off its spirits of turpentine. When it becomes clear as syrup, add a little less than one ounce of alcohol, and mis well, and put ig a bottle at once and cork tight. Alcohol is to be added sufficient to make the mix ture liquid and keep it so, and when ap plied to trees it hardens at once and forms an air-tight covering. scratches in a horse may be cured unless very inveterate, by washing thoroughly with soapsuds, then rubbing with lard fried out of salt meat. Keep clean, wash and grease every other day until a cure is effected. Leaving mud to dry upon the legs of a horse is one great cause of this disease. Pennsylvania Railroad.

MODERN BARBARIANS. —We clip the following paragraph from the Louisville ' Courier, and cannot avoid expressing a hope that the authorities will interfere to prevent the wicked and wanton exposure of human life that is contemplated : Great Pistol Match —Novel 1 Yager. — Mr. Travis, who has established a pistol gallery in this city, has just closed the j most extraordinary wager we have ever heard of. It is no less than a bet of one thousand dollars that he will hit an orange placed on the head of a boy at ten paces: also shoot one in each hand of the. boy. The wager is with Samuel A. Suydam, of New York, and the match takes place in this city on the 15th of June. The fol lowing are the terms of the match : Travis bets Suydam one thousand dollars that he will find a boy who will stand at a distance of ten paces and place an orange, not to exceed two and a half inches in diameter, in each hand, and one upon his head, which Travis will shoot from their respective lo calities, no object to intervene between the boy and the oranges. If Travis fails to find the boy who will stand, or fails to hit the oranges in three shots, or an}" shot touches the by, he looses the bet. The match to be shot in Louisville, dune 15, 1858. Novel Laic suit. —During a late revival, in the Second Methodist Church at Lan caster, the llev. Mr. Walter, peremptorily ordered "those persons who did not wish to comply with his request (to kneel during prayer.) to leave." Mr. Henry Miller, of that city, refused to do either, whereupon Mr. Walter instituted a suit against Mr. Miller, before a magistrate. A clergyman of the same church appeared as a witness, testifying that it was not compulsory with every one to kneel, but simply customary, when judgment was given in favor of de fendant.

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 liastrieil It in over 1100 cases,and never failed ex cept in two cases, (both thunder humor.) lie has now in his possession over two hundred certificate* of its virtue,all within twenty miles of Boston. Two bottles are warranted to cure a nursing Sore Moutli. One to three bottles will cure the worst kind ofPimpies on the 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 lo live bottles are warranted to cure the worst case of Erysipelas. One to two bottles arc warranted to cure all Humor in the eyes. Two bottles are warranted to cure Running of the Ears and Blotches among the llair. Four to six bottles are warranted to cure corrupt and running Ulcers. One bottle will cure Scaly Eruption nf the Skin. Two to three bottlesare warranted t" cure ilt 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 is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the above quanti i ty is taken. Reader, I peddled over a thousand lioltlesof this in the vicinity of B<sinn. 1 know the effect of it in every case. i4o sure as water will extinguish fire, so sure wilt this cure humor. 1 never sold a bottle of it but that sold an other; after a trial it always speaks for itself. There are two things about this herb that appears to me sur prising; first that it grows in our pastures, in some pla ces quite plentiful, and ye' its value has never been known until I discovered it in !Bif—second,that it should cure all kinds of humor In order to give some idea of the sudden rise and great popularity of tin discovery. 1 w ill state that ill April, 1853, 1 peddled it and sold about six bottles per day—in April, 1854, I soid over one thousand bottles per day of it. tAwite of the wholesale Druggists u hn*ia ve been in business twenty and ilnriy 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 introduction asa general family medicine, great ami wonderful virtues have been found in it that 1 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 H will prove effectual in all rases 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 diseasesof the Liv er, Sick Headache. Dyspepsia, Asthma, Fever and Ague, Pain in the liitlc, Diseases of Ihe lupine, ami particularly HI disease" of the Kidneys, Arc ,the discovery has done more good than any medicine ever known. No change of diet ever tie. essary—eat the best you get and plenty of it. DIRECTIONS FOR USE. —Adults one table spoonful per day—Cltsi in n over 10 years, dessert spoonful—Children from 5 to 1 - j ears, tea-spoonful. As no directions ran be I applicable to all constitutions, take sufficient to operate on the bowels twice a day. Manufactured by ROWIJI KE.WESJV, No 120 ll'arrtH St., Roxbury, .Mass.

FAXON'S Attachment of Vulcanized India Rubber Spring to the Tubes of Grain Drills. rnilE undersigned, having perfected an arrangement for A the attachment of a Gum Spring to the Tubes and Drag ilars of Grain Drills, is happy to inform Farmers and all others interested in the growing of Wheat and other grains, that he is prepared to furnish GRAIN DRILLS, with the übove article attached, at the shortest notice, at his Foundry, in McVeytown.Pa. Seeders have become an almost indispensable article to the Fanner, and he will find that the attachment of the Gum Spring will enhance its value at least one-half. All the deten tion and trouble caused by the breaking of wooden pins is entirely done away with by this arrangement, and a man, or boy,can perform nearly double the labor that he could under the old plan, with much greater ease, both to himself and horses. There need be no fearofthe Spring breaking, for if there is an article that will neither break, rot, or wear out, Hie 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, and therefore the most durable ever offered to the agri cultural public. The feed Is so arranged that it will sow 1> U". U, 11, and 2 bushels per acre. Persons desiring one for the coming seeding arc requested lo send in their orders as early as possible.
