FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS j . j We tnrlte cnmmitnlerittona.from nil permnwhonre ' interested inmatteri properly Motiving to thin I department. Instinct of Animals. Tho instinct which enables tho carrier pigeon to find his way hmnc is also shared by other animals. A writer in tho Lon don Bath Newtt says : " A Subject that has long had a deep interest for nutural i me is the power possessed by birds and animals of finding their way back to a given spot by a road never before traveled by then; Thero appears to bo no doubt that Providence) has bestowed an instinct upon them which we, who do not possess it, are hardly ablo to comprehend. Birds of passage liud their way by means of this unerring guide to tho remotest regions of tho earth, and seem to prefer traveling by night, as the keepers of lighthouses arc well awaro, inasmuch as they fre quently find woodcocks and other birds lying dead under the windows, having been killed by flying against tho thick plate-glass, attracted, like moths, by the light. " The same faculty exists in various do mestic animals, but is not so strongly de veloped as in birds. A horse belonging to a friend of mine was turned out in iotno marshes adjoining the Thames. Tho distance in a straight line from his owner's house was only a few miles, but be had to bo sent a long way round to ' oross a bridge. In less than twenty-four hours he made his appearance at the sta ble door dripping wet, having swam the river and taken a straight line homo. During the life, of tho celebrated sportsman, tho late Sir llichard Sutton, a draught of young bounds was sent up to London, by wagon, from the kennel near Lincoln, and there put on board a vessel to go abroad. While tho ship was dropping down tho Thames, one of them jumped overboard, and swam ashore. Soino weeks after it made its appearance nt tho kennel half-starved, and covered with bites bestowed upon it by its more fortunate fellows. " Some years since a dog fox was run to ground, on llathfield heath, near to Ashfield Kent. When dug out ho was found to havo some re markable white spots about him; there fore, the Karl of Thanct had him sent to bis seat in Westmoreland Appleby Cas tle a distance of three hundred miles and turned out. A fortnight afterward tho same fox was killed near Iiathfiold his native place. Not very long ago I saw a cow bought ut a farm auction. About six o'clock in tho evening sho was sent oft' home by tho purchaser, and was placed in tho yard, a distance of fifteen miles from her former homo. At six o'clock the next morning she was found back in her old shed, quietly chewing her cud, and waiting to be milked as usu al. " I onto purohased a brood of ducklings about a month old, without the hen that hatched thoni. I took them homo and placed them, as I thought, safely in a pig pound. In tho morning I found they were all gone, and I discovered them snugly huddled together at their old quarters, at the other end of tho village iu tho ncfat in which they wore hatched. A luborcr told mo ho had met them in tho street, homeward bound, at 4 o'clock A. M., as ho was going to work. They had not been off the premises where they were bred before. A Substitute for Manure. It is assumed by many farmers that if land is plowed as soon as a crop of grain is taken ofT, again after u lupso of six weeks, und again just befoio tho Butting in of winter going a littlo deeper each time a benefit, to succeeding crops will be derived equal to a coating of barn yard manure. There can bono question that frequent plowing enhances tho fer tility of the soil, as this is proved in corn fields every season. Tho more frequently the ground is stirred, if done in a way not to injure tho roots, tho nioro rapid will bo tho growth and more ubiindant tho yield. ThiB renders what is in the soil more easily appropriated while drawing from tho at mosphere supplies of nutriment which in hd inert state it could not extract. It is truo that frequent plowings involve ex pense, so docs an application of manure an artido in many places bard to bo got and very expensive when obtained. Tho more finely adhesive soils are coin minuted the mure readily will they ap propriate and impart teethe plants the nutriment supplied to them, whether it bo drawn from the atmosphcro or from the immuro heap. Tins being the case tho policy of frequent plowings as a prep aration for crop would seem to be vindi cated the grain being certuiu Ut be large ly in excess of tho cost of tho operation. stfIt is suid that a small pieco of ros in, dipped in water, pluced in u vessel on the stove, will add a peon liar property to the room, which will give grout relief to persons troubled with a cough. Tho heat of tho water is sufheent to throw off the rosin, H H 11 H gyo Dec'r. i8yo A Splendid Assortment of DRY -GOODS, Suitable for the Season nre now for Sale by the Subscribers, AT I..OYV PltlCKH! ovit stock or Shawls and Casimcrcs Will bo found the most com plcte of any in the County.

Tho Anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissues or veins, which servo as a deposit for tho urine nnd convey It to the Exterior. The lixtcrior Is a conductor also, terminating In n single tube, nnd called tho Ureter. The Ureters are connected with tbo bladder. The bladder 1b composed of various cover ings or tissues, divided Into parts, viz. i the Upper, the Lower, tlio Nervous, nnd tho Mucous. Tho upper expels, tho lower retains. Many have a desire to urinoto without the ability; others urinate without tho ability to retain. This frequently occurs In children. To euro these nffectlons, wo must bring lnt action tho muscles, which nro cngtigcd In their various functions. If they arc neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may cusue. The reader must nlso be mado nwarc, that however slight may be tho attack, it is sure t ntl'ect tlio bodily health and mental powers, as onr tlcsh and blood aro supported from these sources. Gout, on Rheumatism. Pain occurring In tho loins aro Indicative of the above diseases. They occur in persons disposed to acid stomach nnd cbalkv concretions. Dear 8m I hnve been a sulTeron, for upward of twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kid ney atreetions, during which time I havo used vuriotis medicinal preparations, and been under the treatment of tlio most eminent Physicians, experiencing but littlo relief. Hnving seen your preparations extensively ndvertised, I consulted with my family physi clnn in regard to using your Extract Bucliu. I did this because I had used nil kinds of nd vertised remedies, and hnd found them worth less, and, some quite Injurious In fact, I de spalrcd of ever getting well, nnd determined t use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted mo t use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of biteliu, cubebs, and Juniper berries, it occurred to mo and my physician as an excellent combination, nnd, with his advice, alter un cxiiinlnation of the article, nnd con sulting ngain with the druggist, I concluded to try It. I commenced Us use about eight months ngo, ut which tlmo I wns conlliied to my room. From the Hist bottle I wns ustonished and grat lllcd at the benclleial cirect, and after using It three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt much like writing you n full statement of my case nt the timo, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer nnd sec if it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be of moro value to you, nnd more satisfactory to me. . I am now able to report that a cure is effect ed after using tho remedy fur five months. I have not used any now for three months, nnd feel as well in till respects as I ever did. Your Bucliu being devoid of any unpleasant taste nnd odor, a nieo touie nnd Invlgorntor of the system, I do not mean to bo without it whenever occasion may require its uso in Bucb. nlfcctions. m. Mccormick. Should any doubt Mr. MeCormiek's state ment, lie refers to the following geutlemcn t The GitAvi'i.. The gravel ensues from neg lect or improper treatment of tho kidneys. These orguns being weak, tlio water is not ex pelled from tho bladder, but allowed to remain ; It becomes feverish, and sediment forms. It la from this deposit that the stone is formed and gravel ensues. Duopsy is a collection of wnter in some parts of tho body, and hears dillereut names, accord ing to tho parts ntlccted, viz. : when general ly dill'uscd over the body, it is called Anasarca ; when of the nbdoinen, Ascites; when of the chekt, Hydrothorax.
