THE The Way to Select Flour. —hirst look fct the color; if it is white, with a yellow ish or straw colored tint, buy it. If it is very white, a bluish east, or with white ■pecs in it, refuse it. Second, examine its adhesiveness ; wet and knead a little of it between your finders; if it works soft and sticky, it is poor. Third, throw a lump of the flour on a smooth surface ; if it falls like powder, it is bud. Fourth, squeeze ■ome of the flour in your hand : if it retains the shape given by the pressure, that, too, is a good sign Flour that wiil stand all these tests is safe to buy. These modes are given by old Hour deal ers, aud they pertain to a matter that con cerns everybody—the staff of life. Early lomatoa. —Every farmer can have the luxury of early tomatoes without the trouble of a hot bed, or sending to the city for early plants. About the fir9t week in March fill a box, holding six or eight quarts, with the richest mould you can get, and 60W your seed. Set it near a south window, if possible, in a warm room. Gixe it plenty of water, and in ten days the plants will begin to appear. When the plants are two inches high, or have four leaves, make boxes, four inches wide by five deep, of shingles, on any thin stuff, tacked together with carpet tacks; fill them with rich mould, and put one plant in each box ; set them in the window ; turn and water them every day. When you wish to transplant to the garden, take the boxes carefully apart, and the dirt remains undis turbed. Set deep and water freely. jjjqrua'y* The Snow Bird. As each returning winter comes to us clad in its garments of white, as oft and as faithful are the visits of the little snow bird, those feathered companions of winter's chill and dreary day. During the last few days, while the ground has been covered with snow, many of these little birds could be seen fritting about as if regardless of the fact that Jack Frost, like the grasp of a miser, has laid his cold hands upon the earth, 'i he snow bird is remarked amoDg ornithologists for the obscurity which hangs around its history. On the first approach of wmter it suddenly makes its appearance, apparently driven by the inclemency of the weather to court the society of man ~\\ hence it comes no one can tell; and whither it goes (for its exit is as sudden as its entrance,) no one has been able to discover. It is supposed by some to be in reality another bird, only that its plumage, by some mysterious and irresistable power, has been suddenly changed. There is a feeling of melancholy passing over the mind when the bleak and dreary landscape, deserted by ail other tenants of the air, is only enlivened by the presence of the mournful snow bird. Yet in the bitterest weather he is always gay and lively, and the gioominess of the scenery around him ■eeais to have no saddening effect upon his cheerful heart. Simplest Form of Animal Life. Ia making the soundings for the At lantic telegraph, says the Scientific Ameri can, between Newfoundland and" Ireland, a small tube with a valve was fitted to the end of the line, so as to bring up a little ! of the scediment from the bottom of the sea, and when this was dried it was found to be a dust BO fine that on rubbing it between the fingers it would disappear in the cracks of the skin. On placing this dust under a microscope each particle was seen to be a shell—the home of a 6entient being.— "W hen these shells are highly magnified, little holes are discovered in them, through which delicate filaments protruded, which were the animal s organs of locomotion. As these filaments branch out like the roots of a tree, the animal is called a thizopod, from two Greek words which signify root footed. As the thizopod is the simplest form of animal life, it is probably the oldest. The shells are found in all of the geologic periods, and as we go down in the state, or backword in the ages, they regularly in crease in size and numbers. They form a large portion of the chalk formation which was laid down in the age of reptiles, and at that time the shells were generally of about the size of a pin's head ; in lower strata the shells are found as large as a penDy, and in still lower a foot in diaine etcr. They have lately been found in Canada three feet in diameter. NEW DRUG STORE Two Doors West of the Odd Fellows' Hall. PURE and fresh drugs always on hand.

It 1 either produces or is 'EE'-- produced by an en- vitiated state | . jS^ ot Oie blood, wherein I i 1 to pustain i |||M vital forces in their vigorous action, and fall into disorder and decay. The scrofulous contamination is va riously caused by mercurial disease, low living, disordered digestion from unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in the constitution, | descending "from parents to children unto ! the third and fourth generation; " indeed, it seems to be the rod of Him who says, " 1 will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their children." The diseases it originates take various names, according to the organs it attacks. In the lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally Consumption; in the glands, swellings which suppurate and be come ulcerous sores; in the stomach and bowels, derangements which produce indi gestion, dyspepsia, and liver complaints: on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous affections. These, all having the same origin, require the same remedy, viz., purification and invigora tion of the blood. Purify the blood, and these dangerous distempers leave you. With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you cannot have health; with that "life of the llesh" healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is compounded from the most effectual anti dotes that medical science has discovered for tills afflicting distemper, and for the cure of the disorders it entails. That it is far supe rior to any other remedy yet devisc-d, is known by all who have given it t. trial. That it does combine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect upon this class of complaints, is indisputably proven by the great multitude of publicly known and remarkable cures it j lias made of the following diseases: King's Evil, or Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Erysipelas, Rose or St. Anthony's Fire, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from , tuberculous deposits in the lungs. White j Swellings, Debility, Dropsy. Neuralgia, j Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases. Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole I series of complaints that arise from impurity \ of the blood. Minute reports of individual j cases may be found in AYER'S AMERICAN ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be learned the directions for its use. and some of the remarkable cures which it has made when all other remedies had failed to afford I relief. Those cases are purposely taken from all sections of the country, in order that every reader may have access to some one who can speak to him of its benefits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far more subject to disease and its fatal results ! than are healthy constitutions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does greatly shorten, the average duration of human life. The vast importance of these considerations has led us to spend years in perfecting a remedy which is adequate to its cure. This we now offer to the public under the name of AYER'S SARSAPARILLA, although it is composed of ingredients, some of which exceed the best of Sarsaparilla in alterative power. By its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer ing and danger of these disorders. Purge j out the foul corruptions that rot and fester j in the blood, purge out the causes of disease, t and vigorous health will follow. By its pecu- ; liar virtues this remedy stimulates the vital functions, and thus expels the distempers which lurk within the system or burst out on any part of it. We know the public have been deceived by many compounds of Sarsaparilla, that j promised much and did nothing; but they j will neither be deceived nor disappointed in j this.. Its virtues have been proven by abun- ! dant trial, and there remains no question of | its surpassing excellence for the cure of the ! afflicting diseases it is intended to reach. ! Although under the same name, it is a very 1 different medicine from any other which has j been before the people, and is far more ef fectual than any other which has ever been available to them. AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, The World's Great Remedy for Coughs, Colds, Incipient Con sumption, and for the relief of Consumptive patients in advanced stages of the disease. This has been so long used and so uni- j vers ally known, that we need do no more ' than assure the public that its quality is kept i up to the best it ever has been, and that it may be relied on to do all it has ever done. i Prepared by DR.
