M e make the following extract from the re port of Mr. TOWXSKXD GI.UVKR OU the curculio, which will be published in the forthcoming re port of the Patent Ofliee : " The plum weevil, or curculio, ( rhynchccnus nenuphar ,) is one of the most destructive in sects that the horticulturist has to fear, not to plums alone, but to cherries, nectar nes and apples, which are indiscriminately attacked; aad in the more Southern States peaches also suffer much from the larvae of a weevill of this kind, of similar habits and shape, if not iden tically the same. The perfect curculio is about two tenths of an inch in length, of a dark browu color, with a spot of yellowish white on the hind part of each wing-case. The head i> furnished with a long curved snout or bill, with which it is enabled to bore into the unripe fruit by means of jaws placed at the end of this bill. •• Hie wing-cases, which are ridged, uneven, and humped, cover two transparent wings, by which the perfect weevil is enabled to fly from tree to tree, but when these wing-cases are closed the back appears without any suture or divis ion, which has led to the very erroneous idea among farmers that the insect cannot fly.— A\ hen disturbed, or shaken front the tree, it is so similar in appearance to a dried bud that it can scarcely be distingushed, especially when feigning death, which it always does when alarmed. As soon as the plums are of the size of peas the weevil commences the work of destruction by making a semi-circular cut through the skin with her long curved snout, in the fljicx of which curve she deposits a single egg. She then goes to another plum, which is treated in a similar manner, until she has ex hausted her whole stock of eggs. The grubs, which are hatched by the lit'at of the sun, immediately eat their way to the stone in an oblique direction, where they remain gnawing the interior until the fruit is weakened and diseased, and by this treatment falls l'rom the tree. " The grub, which is a small, yellowish, foot less, white maggot, then leaves the fallen fruit, enters the earth, changes into a pupa, aad in the first brood comes to the surface again, in about three weeks, as a perfect weevil, to pro pagate its species and destroy more fruit. It has not yet been decided whether the latest gen eration of the weevil remains in the ground all winter iu the grub, or in the pnpa state. Dr. E. Sanborn, of Andover, Massachusetts, asserts, however, that the grubs after having entered the earth, return to the surface in about six weeks as perfect weevils, which must remain hidden iu crevices until Spring. The most popular opinion is that they remain iuthe larva or pupa state. The worm or grub is often found in the knots of excresences which disfigure and destroy plum trees, and has been wrongfully accused of being the cause of these swellings ; but it is highly probable that the weevil, find iug in the young knots an acid some what similar i to that of the unripe fruit, merely deposits its j eggs thereiu as the nearest substitute for the , real plum. "Some of the remedies recommeuded for preventing the ravages of these insects, are absurd—such as tying cotton around the trees in order to prevent them from ascending, when it is known that they are furnished with wings, : and fly from tree to tree with the greatest ease. Among the remedies at present in use, oue is to covei the frini with acoat.'ugof whitewash, mixed with n little glue, applied l y means of a i syring ; another ;s to spread a sheet upon the ' ground under the tree, and then jar the branches suddenly with a mallet covered with cloth, so as not to bruise the bark, when the perfect insects will fall into the sheet and feign death, and may be gathered and destroyed.— Hogs are sometimes turned iuto plum orchards, i where by eating the fallen and diseased fruit, they materially lessen the evil. Coops of chickens placed under the trees, and the branches often shaken, the insects fall, and are eagerly seized and devoured. All fallen fruit should be gathered up several times iu the course of the season and burned, or given to hop, or destroyed in some other way. By so ; doiug, thousands of the grabs which have" not' yet left the plum are destroyed ; but as yet, i no thoroughly practical remedy has been made ! public, and the above are merely mentioned as ! being useful iu small gardens, containing onlv ! a few trees." How TO PRODITE LARGE FRTIT. —The secret consists in supporting the fruit, so that they shall not be allowed to hang their whole weight upou the stalk, or to twist about in the wind. When the fruit is allowed to liaug naturally upon the stalk, the increasing weight strains stem or twig, and thus lessens the quantity of nutritious food flowing to the fruit. The fruit may be supported either by tying it to a branch with a piece of matting, or bv enclosing it in a small net. Flowers, such as dahlias or poouies may also be rendered much larger by the adopt ion of this system. To MAKE GOOD APPJ,E JKLT.Y. —Take apples of the best (piality and good flavor, (not sweet) cut them in quarters or slices, and stew them till soft ; then strain out the juice, being vcrv careful not to let any of the pulp go through the strainer. Boil it to the consistency of molasses, then weigh it and add a- manv pounds of crushed sugar, stirring it constantly till the sugar is dissolved. Add one ounce of extract of lemon to every twenty pounds of jelly, and when cold set it away in close jars. It will keep good for years. Those who have not made jelly in this way will do well to trv it • they will find it superior to currant jelly. Michigan Fa rmer. RECEIPT FOR MAKING RICE BREAD. One and a half pounds of rice put in a gallon of water and stirred till it becomes quite soft, then mix it (while warm) with fourteen pounds of flour, and at the same time add a teaspoonful of salt and the usual quantify of yeast. Let it stand to rise, then make it into loaves an 1 bake it the usual way. We have found the abovequuutity of flour and rice to make us twenty-eight pounds of cxeelleut bread, and independent of the great saving, we like it better than bread baked in the usual way. To Ct'RE THE Soi'.F. NECKS OE OxF.N.—A letter in an exchange says, a neighbor had a pair of working oxen, whose necks became very sore. lie covered that part of the yoke resting upon the neck with sheet-lead. They got well almost immediately, though constantly kept at work. I suppose the lead being a good conductor of heat, drew off the inflamma tion, and thus enabled the sores to heal. Happiness can be made quite as well of cheap material as of dear one* jßnsiiiess QTarbs. T F. MA DILL, M. D., PHYSICIAN J • AND SURGEON— Office at his residence in ; Pa.

Strictures. Weaknesses, and all Diseases of the Sexual Organs, whether in Male or Female, from whatever cause they may have originated, and no matter of how long standing. If you have contracted the terrible disease, which when once seated in the system, will surely go down from one generation to another, undermining the constitution, and sapping the very vital fluids of life, do nut trust yourself in the hands of "Quacks, who start up every day iii a city like this, and (ill the papers with glaring"falsehoods too well calculated to deceive the young and those not ac quainted with their tricks. Yon canuot be too carefnl in the selection of a remedv in these cases. The fluid extract Bucfiu has lieen pronounced by emi nent Physicians THE GREATEST REMEDY EVER KNOWN, ft is a medicine perfectly pleasant in its taste, and very innocent iu its action, and yet so thorough that it annihi lates every particle of the rank and poisonous virus of this disease ; and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up the disease in the blood. Constitutional Debility, brought on by self-abuse, a most terrible disease, which has brought thousands of the hu man race to untimely graves, thus blasting the brilliant hopes of parents, and blighting in the bud the glorious ambition of many a noble youth, can be cured by this INFALLIBLE REMEDY. And as a medicine which must benefit everybody fromtbe simply delicate to the confined and despairing invalid, no equal is to be found, acting both as a cure and preventive. IIKMBOLD'S HIGHLY CONCENTRATED Compound Fluid Extract Sarsoparilla. For purifying the Blood, removing all disease- arising from excess of Mercury, exposure aud imprudence iu life, chronic constitutional di-ease, arising from an im pure state of the blood, and the only reliable and effect ual remedy known for the cure of Scrofula Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ulcerations of the Throat and Legs, Pains and Swellings of the Bones, Tetter, Pimples on the face and all Scaly Eruptions of the Skin. This article is now pre cribed by some of the most dis tinguished Physicians in the Couutry, and has proved more efficient in practice than any preparation of Sar-a parilla yet offered to the public. Several ease- . e ■on darv Sypliilir, Mercurial and Scrofulous di cue. have en tirely recovered in the incurable waids of our public insti tutions, which had for many years resisted every mode of treatment that could lie devi-cd.

The method by which all Sarssapnrillas. and other simi lar medicines are prepared, is by boiling the Roots ot plants to obtain the extracts. Their medicinal virtues are thus principally evaporated and destroyed. It is not to be wondered at then, that 10 and even 20 bottles of these Sarsaparillas are sometimes taken without any perceptible benefit.
