Tt T8 easier to decide what the color of city houses should be than of those in the country Every one can see that streets lined with rows of white buildings wonld be intolerable ; none but eagles' eyes could endure the glare. City houses should mostly be of a sober tint, ab sorbing, not reflecting, the sun's lays, and not easily disfigured by dust and smoke. But the case is somewhat different with buildings in the country. Formerly, white was the prevailing fashion. It was a neat and cheerful color, and supposed to be the most durable. But a change was at leiigfb decreed in this fashion. Foreign writers condemned it, and native writers echo ed their words with emphasis. Artists and travelers gave it a shower of ridicule. White, they said, "is too intense a color—it does uot harmonize with the hues of a landscape. A house so painted forces itself into notice—it impudently stares you in the face. An object of a sober tint, unexpectedly gilded by the 6nn, is like a serious countenance suddenly, lighted up by a smile ; a whitened object is like the eternal grin of a fool. No artist, of auv reputation, would introduce a white house npon his canvas. The color is too glaring for the eye to rest upon, under our brilliant sun shine." And so on. These criticisms turned the fashion into the opposite extreme. Dark, sombre colors, became all the rage. Many beautiful cottages and cheerful houses embow ered among trees, were changed into gloomy, barn-like, prison-like structures. The most popular color was what the painters styled " Victoria brown," a dingy, melancholy hue, in faint imitation of free stone. Nobody, real ly liked the change ; it was a little too abrupt; but then it was the fashion, and it must 1 e swallowed down as a very genteel thing. But common sense could not be long silenced, and she soon spoke out. as follows : " Oh, ye sons of men, why run to such extremes ! Because white is too glaring, must ye therefore take refuge in black ? Choose some of the softer und more cheerful colors which I furnish you, —the various shades of gray, fawn, light drab, cream-color, straw color, the many pleasing tiuts in your rocks and sands." Men listened to this sage monitor, and the result was most happy. Now, houses are mostly painted in sober hues, but not in gloomy brown ; iD cheerful hues, but not in intense white. Let us not maintain,however,that no country house should be painted white. A white cot tage with green blinds, nestled among trees and festooned with vines, is one of the pleas antest scenes in any landscape Nor would we object, in all cases, to green blinds on oth er houses which are painted in some neutral tint. The porch, cornice, window-frames and other dressings, should be painted a darker or lighter shade than the bouse itself, to relieve what would otherwise he bald monotony. Barns and other out-buildings should be painted a darker shade than the house, to make them inconspicuous, and to mark their inferior uses. Several enterprising farmers of our accpiaintauce, have lately rebuilt their barns, clap-boarding them and fainting them ichite! Why do you so ?we a-ked one the other day. " Oh, we'd," said he, " I think as much of my barn as I do of my house ; and then, I wanted to spruce up a little." Wetnt td to spruce up a little; that was it. But his cattle and pigs have rubbed their muddy hides against his clean white paint, as if determined to get it as near the once fashionable " Victo ria brown " as possible. Fences should be painted in some subdued color, so as not to attract much notice. "A fence," says Cooper, " which looks as if it were covered with clothes hung up to dry, docs very little towards aiding the pictur esque." And now, having left the house ami got on " the fence/' we shall decline saying anything more. OVERFTAXGIXG FRUT. —The papers are dis cussing variously the right of a land-owner to the fruit which hangs across the line into his neighbor's garden. It appears that lawyers have given different opinions, according to the fact whether they themselves own on the one side or the other. We know but little of law but equity is very clear on the subject. A. has no right to turn animals into his own field, that will leap a good fence, or bur row under it, into B.'s land—this is self-evi dent with every person. On the same princi ple, he has no right to plant and nourish a patch of Canada thistles near the line, the roots of which will push under the fence and spread through B.'s fields, or the seeds of which will be scattered over the fence. Now if A. plants a line of fruit trees along B.'s boundary, one-half the roots extend into ll.'s soil, and one-half the branches shade B.'s sur face. Has A. any better right, thus to bur row under the fence, and to throw branches across the top, than he has to place animals in his field that will pass under and over a good line fence ? There can be but one an swer, to this question. But B. lias not an equal right to all the fruit on his side of the fence, for he incurred no expense in planting the trees. B. cannot therefore claim the fruit ; but he may claim an amount of damages equal to the annual value of land occupied and shaded—which raaj be paid in fruit or in such other way as A and B. can agree between themselves, or which may be decided by a third party acting for them.— Country Gentleman. HORSE TALK. —The New York Spirit of the Times gives the following characteristics of a good horse:—l. Ilis eyes, even when seen in the stable, are perfectly clear am 1 transparent, and the pupils or apples of the eyes are alike in color and size. 2. On being nipped in the gullet, he will utter a sound like that from a bellows. If, on the contrary, he should give vent to a dry, husky, short cough, beware of hiin. His wind is unsound. 3. His legs are smooth and "clean." If you find buuehes or puffs, or a difference in size, though he may not be lame, disease lurks there. 4. If broad and full between the eyes, he is susceptible of being trained to almost anything, o. If some white or parti-colored, he is docile and gentle. MAXIMS FOR FARMERS. —For rich farms stock w'th the stately Durhams ; for poorer the active Devons. The best point for a milker is a thin thigh. To till caterpillars, rub them up with the hand. To kill live ou cattle, dust lightly with ashes. ftlcrtljanbiee, £"c. TOWANDA HARDWARE CUTLERY, IRON AND STOVE STOP.E.

Nervousness, irritability. InHamations, Headache, Pains I in the Breast, Side. Back,and lambs. Female Complaints. ; Ac., Ac. Indeed very few are the diseases in which a j Purgative Medicine is not more or less required, and much t sickness and suffering might l>e prevented, if a harmless j hut effectual Cathnrtie were more freely used. Xo per- j sun can feel well while a costive habit of hmly prevails ; I besides it soon generates serious and often fatal diseases, j which might huve'bcen avoided bv the timely and judi cious use of a good purgative. This isalike true of Colds. 1 Feverish symptoms, and Billions derangements. They all tend to become or produce the deep seated and for- i midable distempers which load the hearses all Over the | land. Hence a reliable family phvsic is of the first itn- | portanccto the public health, and this Pill has been per- | fected with consummate skill to meet that demand. An extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors. | viiid Patients, has shown results surpassing anything hitherto known of any medicine. Cures have been ef fected beyond belief, were they not substantiated hyper- ! sons of such exalted positions and character as to forbid j the suspicion of untruth. Among the eminent gentlemen who have testiiied in j favor of these Pills, we may mention : Doct. A. A. HAYKS. Analytical Chemist of Boston, j and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high Profes- j sional character is endorsed by the— Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the United States. ROBERT C. WIXTIIROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives. ABBOTT LAWRENCE, Minister Plen. to England. tJOIIN B. FITZPATKICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston: also Dr..l. R. CHILTOX, Practical Chemist of Xew York City, endorsed by lion. W. |„ MARCY, Secretary of State. WM. B. ASTOR, the richest man in America. ; S. EEI.AXD & Co., Proprietors of the Metropolitan t Hotel, and others. Did space permit, we could give many hundred certi ficates from all parts where the Pills have been used, but evidence even more convincing than the experience of eminent public men, is found in their effects upon trial. These Pills, the result of long investigation and study, are offered to the public as the best and most complete which the present state of medical science can afford.— They arc compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extract ed by ( hemical process in a state of purity, and combin ed together in such a manner as to insure the best results. This system of composition for medicines has been found in Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more ef ficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any process. The reason is perfectly obvious. While by tin old mode of composition, every medicine is burdened with more or less of acrimonious and injurious qualities, by this each individual virtue only that is desired for the cu rative effect is present. All the inert and obnoxious qualities of each substance employed are left behind, the curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is self evident the effects should prove as they have proved, ! more purely remedial, and the Pills a more powerful nn : tidote to disease than any other medicine known to the world. As it is frequently expedient that many medicines should be taken under the counsel of an attending Physi cian. and as he could not properly judge of a remedy without knowing its composition, 1 have suppled the ac curate Formulae by which both my Pectoral and Pills are made, to the whole body of Practitioners in the United States anu British American Provinces. If however there should be any one who has not received them, they will he forwarded" by mail to his reqnest. Of HII the Patent Medicines that are offered, how few would be taken it their composition was known ! Their life consists in their mystery. I have no mysteries. The composition of .ay preparations is laid open to all men. and all who are competent to judge on the subject i freely acknowledge their convictions of their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral was pronounced by scienti fic men to be a wonderful medicine before its effects were known. Many eminent Physicians have declared the same thing of my Pills, and even more confidently, and are willing to certify that their anticipations were more than realized by their effects upon trial. They operate by their powerful influence on the inter nal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into heal thy action—remove the obstructions of the stunwcli, bow els, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such derangements as are the first origin of disease.
