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.

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.

BULL'S SARSAPARILLA,
PUT OP IN
FULL QUART BOTTLES,
And containing the strength of six times as
much pure Honduras Sarsaparilla as any
other similar preparation in America.
4 FEW bottles of this Sarsaparilla, put up
several years ago, rendering it the more
lable, (a9 all well-informed druggists know
that age improves it,) have been deposited at
the drug store of CHARLES RITZ, in Lcwistown,
where they are offered for sale at three-fourths
the regular price, namely 75 cents per bottle.
It has been a well established fact for years
past that Sarsaparilla, when pure and properly
prepared, was the only true panacea for all di
seases originating from an impure state of the
blood, the use of mercury, intoxicating drinks,
evil habits in youth, barrenness, &c. We bold
ly assert that .JOHN BULL S FLUID EX
TRACT OF MRSAPARILLA is the only pre
paration before the public that is prepared on
strictly scientific principles and of uniform
strength. The sarsaparilla is purchased with
out regard to price, and every pound, before
being used, is subject to the strictest chemical
tests, and its genuineness ascertained before
beimr used. Bull's Sarsaparilla also contains
the virtues of several other valuable medical
roots, together forming the best compound, and
producing the greatest curative agent in the
known world! This medicine, when used ac
cording to directions, has cured
Scrofula or King's Evil, Cancers, Tumors, Erup
tions of the Skin, Erysipelas, Chronic Sore
Eyes, Rinsrtcorm or Tetters, Scald Head,
Rheumatism, Old Serves and Ulcers,
Pains in the bones or Joints, Swelliug of the
Glands, Syphilis, Dyspepsia, Salt Rheum, Di
seases of the Kidneys, Loss of Appetite, Pain
in the Side and Shoulders, General Debility,
Dropsy, Lumbago, Jaundice, Costiveness, Sore
Throat, Bronchitis, Coughs, Co!d, Weakness
of the Chest, Pulmonary Affections, and all
other diseases tending to produce
CONSUMPTION,
Liver Complaint, Female Irregularities and
Complaints, Sick ar.d Nervous Headache, Low
Spirits, Night Sweats, Exposure or Imprudence
in Life, Chronic Constitutional Diseases, and is
a spring and summer drink and general tonic
for the system, and a gentle and pleasant pur
gative, far superior to Blue Lick or Congress
Water, salts, or seidlitz powders.

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.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
M. M. 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. Direct to McVeytown, Mif
flin county, Pa., or F. G. FRANCIBCU3, Lewistown;
E. L. FAXON, Hollidaysburg, Illair co., Pa ; ROVER &
IIRO., Ilarrlsburg, Pa . who are authorized to act as
agents, and from whom any furl.ier information may be oh
tained.
PRICE (>F DRILLS, with the attachment, 4175. Far
mers who already have drills, c( n have them altered,and
the India Rubber Spring attached, for from $lO to $l5.
7>AI! brunches of the FOUNDRY BUSINESS still
carried on, for which orders are respectful!,- solicited.
