Tool! tor Farm
Don't buy ft chest filled with tools
ready for work. If yon Lave bad a
good deal of experience, and know
what you waut, make a chest and select
the tools yourself, but if you get one
whioh some one else has furnished, you
may, to be sure, get a good set of
tools, but there will be many for which
you will find but little use. Even reg
ular meohanics have different ways of
using tools, and an ingenious amateur
will often make shift to do without cer
tain tools, which a carpenter or blaok
Bmith consider indispensable. Here
nro some good suggestions, which we
clip from the Agriculturist : " Every
farmer should have a small room, tight
and warm, which he can lock, and
where he can keep his small tools.
Then he wants a good, solid work
bench, with nn iron vice on one side,
and a wooden one on the other. For
iron working, he wants a solid piece of
iron for an anvil, a seven-pound steel
face hammer, a riveting hammer, one
large and one small cold chisel, two or
three punches from one-quarter to
three-eighths-inoh, a rimmer and a
countersink, to be used with bit-stock,
a screw plate that will cut a sorew from
one-quarter , to three-eighths-inch ;
then with round iron of the various
sizes, and ready-made nuts, he can
ruuke any bolt he wishes. For carpen
ter work, he wants a square, a shaving
horso, drawing-knife, a set of planes,
auger from one-half to two inches, a
fine band-saw, with coarse cross-cut and
rip-saw, large cross-cut saw for logs,
and a grind-stone.
Farm Notes.
Coup in chickens often follows ca
tarrh if the latter is not promptly taken
in hand. Tho symptoms are similar.
A frothy substance occurs in the inner
comer of the eye, tho lidn swell, the
eye-ball being in severe cases wholly
concealed, and tli9 fowl, unablo to
see or feed, loses all spirit, and often
dies. A f otid smell is emitted by fowls
in advanced stages of this djsease.
So long as au egg is an egg and they
are sold by count, farmers will not be
in haste to exchange thin, small, old
fashioned barnyard fowls for the large,
improved and more valuable kinds j
neither will they bo less likely to go
sorting their eggs, selling the small
ones to tho grocer aud the large ones
to customers for an extra price, or,
what is more commendable, eating them
themselves,
To finish a house in what is called
rough cast is done by throwing or
splashing upon tho mortar, while it is
yet soft, a mixture of freshly slaked
lime, water and clean, fine gravel, which
is immediately brushed over and
colored a uniform hue. Small stones,
pebbles anil bits of earthernware and
other materials are sometimes dashed
on, instead of using the sifted gravel.
We would not advise the use of laths,
for should they warp, the mortar is lia
able to crack. The rough cast should
bo made ou either brick r stone work.

Mice Gleaning Couaba
The practice of giving combs, to be
cleared of dead bees by mice, has been
practised in frame for more than fifty
years. It is good only for those who
own tho old gums or boxes. As the
owner of these immovable hives cannot
take out combs, if he wants to preserve
some hives full of combs, he has to
clean them, to prevent moulding, and
mice can do that work for him. But
the cleanliness of this process is deubt
ful ; wherever mice have access, they
impregnate the things around with
their special scent, which is far from
being agreeable, besides they eat not
only the dead bees, but the combs also.
There is for us, owners of movable
comb hives, a better way to clean our
combs ; it is to introduce them in a
May colony, between two combs full of
brood. The next day all dead bees are
removed, and the comb is scented anew
with the odor of living bees.
Whooping Cough Remedy.
One of the London journals contains
a statement by JJr. lierry, of his sua
cessful treatment of uncomplicated
wliooping congli with diluted nitrio
acid, in doses of from five to fifteen
minims, according to age, with simple
Byrup. Kiven every tnree or lour hours,
alleviating the cough and spasm, and
apparently cutting short tho disease.
During an epidemio of the disorder, he
prescribed this frequently and with
very satisfactory results. He offers no
suggestion as to the operation of
the remedy, but he believes its aotion
to be that of a tonic, sedative and anti
septic, and, at the same time its rem
erating properties are not to be lost
sight of. in ail tho cases treated he
has, of course, paid attention to the
state of the digestive organs, and in
such cases as have required it, he has
given an aperient combined with an
alterative.
Fall Shawls.
Square shawls for early fall wear
for ladies, says a fashion journal, have
plain centers with striped or plaid bor
ders, and are all of shades of one color,
gray, brown, or blue being preferred.
Long shawls for traveling are of thick
plush-like fabrics with Oriental names,
and are usually in large broken plaids.
Cashmere shawls that do not profess to
be India shawls, but are of plain col
ored cashmere and striped borders, are
tasteful and, moreover, soft and warm.
These are shown in mode, blue, and
scarlet. Unique shawls also of soft
cashmere wool mixed silk, have palm
leaf patterns of gold on black or scarlet
grounds, or else have mixtures of blue,
led, gold, and black, in true Eastern
fashion. Black cashmere shawls for
old ladies, have richly embroidered
edges dotted with jet. The edges are
scalloped, and do not require laoe to
finish them, though a deep guipure
lace border adds to their elegance,
TOE RETT ASSISTANT.
Hiring a New Solicitor How He Brought
In an Advertiser Taking It Out In
Trade.
He wanted to help edit. He said he
always wanted to work around a news
paper, and he hoped we would give him
a job. We told him a good many had
tried to work around us, and a good
many had succeeded in working around
us, but we were getting sharper as we
gqj along. Then he begged if we
could a' t let him edit that we would set
him at something else. We pondered a
spell, and then asked him if he ever
tried canvassing. He said yes. Ha
worked in a porkhouse one winter and
canvassed hams, but he never liked it.
Thought he would prefer to canvass
trunks or, what was infinitely better,
canvass-back ducks. Wo explained
that we meant canvassing for advertis
ing going among business houses and
prevailing on them to advertise.
Asked him if he didn't think he should
go out and bring in an advertiser that
afternoon.
' He said he thought he could, and
looking out of the window he exclaim
ed, "There goes one, now back in a
minute," and flew down stairs in about
two jumps. In a few minutes after
there was a frightful rumpus on the
stairway, mingled with cries of " Come
right along I" "Lem'mebel" "Bound
to have ye I" ' Tell ye I'll bust yer
head if you don't leggo I" We hasten
ed to the spot and found our new solici
tor making the most strenuous efforts
to lug the portly form of our old friend,
Dr. Kerr, the system renovator man, up
stairs, notwithstanding his struggles
and remonstrances.
" What are you doing there ?" we
cried.
"Bringing in an advertiser," our so
licitor shouted, " aud it's the toughest
job I ever undertook."
The doctor released himself with a
sturdy kick that sent our solicitor roll
ing to the foot of tine stairs, and then
wanted to know " What in thunder's
goin' on ?"
We explained that it was a new solic
itor we had just engaged, and he was a
little too energetic, but means well.
The doctor said the papers had lugged
him in in a good many ways, but never
in that way before.
While we admired the pluck of our
new man tackling one of the heaviest
advertisers in the city, yet we could not
approve of his way in bringing him in.
We made him apologize to the doctor,
and then gave him further instructions
bsfore letting him start out again. He
had developed an energy and courage
in grappling an advertiser which he
thought would render him a valuable
adjunct to such a concern as ours. Ad
vertisers rather like boldness aud au
dacity in a solicitor. We told him he
had a future before him. Afttr solicit
ing for a newspaper a few years, he
might become a newspaper proprietor
himself, and wind up by soliciting
alms. This encouraged him greatly.
It was a dull season with advertisers,
and we told him if he couldn't get peo
ple to advertise for cash, to take it out
in trade. He said he knew now what
to do. and started away. We didn't
hear anything of him for four days, and
then he came in with the worst head on
him we ever taw. It was in the shape
of a snuff bladder, and would hold
about a bushel.
" What have you been up to ?" we
inquired.
" Taking it out in trade," he man
aged to articulate. He said he induced
a boxing master to put a card in one
year, agreeing to take it out in trade,
aud this was all there was left of him.
He said he had traded it only about
half out, and he wanted some one else
to go up and get the rest of it.
It was the most extraordinary in
stance of zeal in a solicitor we ever en
countered. That wasn't all. He had
thirty-two adveitisements of separate
and distinct patent medicines, all of
which he had taken out in trade. And
he had taken the medioino too, every
bit of it. He ha3 engaged to advertise
about a dozen quack doctors and take
it out in vaccination, and he was tat
tooed like a bouth Sea Islander. If all
the vaccine matter takes it will take
him along with it. He hadu't a tooth
in his head, 'cause he had secured the
patronage of half the dentists in town
and endeavored to trade it all out of
himself.
When he said to a dentist. " Adver
tise aud take it out in trade," the den
list immediately bounced him into i
chair, clapped his forceps into his
mouth and jerked out a tooth. Den
tists don t like to allow 6uch accounts
to run. "Was that all?" we calmly
asked. JNo, he said, be got an adver
tisement from some fifty saloons, and
took that in trade. This confused him
a little and made him feel like a bond'
ed warehouse. He went up to the
Ninth street station house and solicit
ed an advertisement of Captain
agreeing to take it out in trade. The
Captain said the station house was
sufficiently advertised already, but if I
would take in out in trade it was all
right. Then he locked me up and kept
me twenty -four hours.
We felt it was no use trying to dis
charge that man. We had only to let
him go ou taking advertising out in
trade, and he would soou take a finish
of himself, so when he asked if he
should try it again we said, " Certain
ly ; keep right on the way you have
begun and it's all right."
We afterwards heard of him at the
gas office soliciting Barney Cunning
ham for an advertisement, agreeing to
take it in trade. He had a patent pail
in his hand to carry gas in, and said if
they would advertise he would take a
pail full now.
Then he disappeared for a week, and
we ascertained that he had secured an
advertisement for Old John Robinson's
show, and was taking it out in circus
tickots, every one of which he was
using himself.
A catastrophe at length oscurred to
our solicitor, as we anticipated. He
hud traded out an advertisement with
dealers in mill stones, and, after select
ing one of the largest sizes, started to
roll it down to our office, when it top
pled over on him aud smashed him as
fiat as a pancake. He is now reposing
in a casket made expressly for him, the
only serviceable thing he has been able
to "take out in trade."
Canning Gbeen Cokn. The follow
ing is an excellent recipe for canning
green corn : Dissolve 2, oz. tartario
aoid in one pint of water. Of this solu

teaspoonful of soda to every three pints
of corn. Some fruit has been poisoned
by being put up in leaden tin cans in
stead of bright tin cans. The poor
cans have the appearanoe ef lead while
good cans are bright and have no
poisoning properties. Never use seal
ing wax that has been used before.
A WHITE CANNIBAL,
Horrible Deed In the Wilds of the Rocky
MountalnsA. Miner Hills and Kati
Five ot His Companions.
The particulars of a horrible murder
in the Rooky Mountains have been re
ceived, and for diabolical ferooity this
deed exceeds anything known in tho
annals of modern crime. The mur
derer, Packer, is still at large, having
escaped from his captors j but the au
thorities of Nebraska have offered $200
reward for Packer's apprehension, and
it is believed be soon will be taken.
He was last seen near Del Norte.
The names of the murdered men are
Israel Swan, Samuel Bell, George
Noon, James Humphrey and George
Frank. They were all from Salt Lake,
Utah, aud the bodies have been identi
fied by Mr. Burke, who knew all the
actors in the tragedy.
Packer started out with these men
last spring from Utah for the San Juan
mines, and Mr. Burke knows that they
were all in company. Several other
parties started out about the same time
and encountered deep snows and suf
fered great hardships. It is probable
Packer's party got lost in the moun
tains, and wandered about until nearly
frozen and starved. Two men, Frenchy
aud Martformer, saw them, and they
were then enduring many privations.
Frenchy and Martformer made their
way into tho Los Pinos Agency, which
they reached only after great exertions,
and in a footsore and almost famished
condition. They reported the condi
tion of Packer's party, and believed
they would make their way in, but
none of them ever came except Packer,
the murderer of his unfortunate com
panions. A short time ago Captain Graham,
while out prospecting with a party on
the south branch of Gunnison's river,
came upon the dead bodies. They wore
all lying under a large pine tree, the
branches .of which swept the ground.
It stood in a secluded spot, and the
men had evidently taken shelter there
from the cold and storm. The dead
men were five in number and lay near
together.
Four of the bodies had the- flesh cut
from the breasts, thighs aud calves of
the legs. The remains of two of the
bodies wero in a state of perfect pres
ervation, except where the flesh had
been cut off. "All the bodies showe 1
bullet holes. One had the skull crush
ed in and another had the head severed
from the body, and it could not be
found. One of the men lay a little
apart from the rest, a bullet hole in his
breast, and his skull crushed with
some blunt instrument like a hatchet,
ft is believed this was the last man
killed, and that there was a struggle
between the victim and the murderer.
Packer finished him with an axe or
hatchet. Israel Swan was au old man,
whose hair was quite white, and near
his body lay a pocket-book open, and
by it a note torn in two. The note was
much weather-beaten and almost
illegible, but enough could be read to
show it was for $500, and drawn in
favor of Israel Swan. No signature or
date eould be made out, both being ef
faced by water, wind and weather.
Swan's body had been but little muti
lated, only a little of the flesh being
cut from tne thighs. No arms of any
kind could be found, but two Id blan
kets and three tin onps lay near the
bodies. Captain Graham thought
the bodies had lain under the tree
about four months. A camp, where a
single man had apparently stopped a
couple of weeks, was found some dis
tance ou. bv the side of a little lake.
It is believed .Packer was actuated
by the double motive of self-preserva
tion and robbery in committing the
murder of his companions. He may
have meditated asking some to kill the
others and eat them ; but, fearing he
could not bring them to his purpose,
kept his counsel and killed all the
others. In such a case one would
naturally fear being made a victim him
self. Even if Packer had taken the re
sponsibility and 6hot down one of his
party, that the others micht have food
to eat, it is liKely the others, fearing
their turn would come next, would
have killed Packer. We read of lots
being drawn in such emergencies to de
termine who should die, but I never
believed these tales, and here is a oase
in proof that the old law of self-preser
vation stands first, and there is no ro
mance, except in books, for one's dying
that others may drink his blood or eat
his flesh and live.
Packer, probably, would have pre
ferred to kill only one or two of his
companiors. but he had to kill all or
none and so killed all. When or how
the attack was made, none but God and
the murderer knows, but it is probable
he took away their arms in the night
and then began the massacre with the
bloody hatohet. This theory is sus
tained by Captain Graham, who says
"the bodieB, except one. lay as if
sleeping." Tho breaking in of the
skulls was likely done first and the
shooting afterwards. One man waked
and sprang up, only to be shot down
like a dog and then
finished with a
hatchet.
It is dreadful to think of this mau
camums near by aud eoidr every day
for two weeks to cut a horrid meal
from the bodies of his dead comrades,
What were his thoughts through the
silent watches of those long, bleak win
ter nights, with his dead companions,

cold and stiff near him, none but the

A certain lady of my acquaintance,
the wife of a country clergyman, bad
three sons, whom she was very anxi
ous to train in every principle of virtue
and morality. To this end, as soon as
they could read, she placed in their
childish hands some caret any selected
stories of a moral and didactic charac
ter, in which the good boy attained to
riches and lienor and consequent hap
piness, while the bad boy came to all
sorts of grief, the former getting all
the honey and the latter all the whacks.
But, to the unspeakable horror and
distress of the careful mother, when
she came to discuss with her children
the stories which they had read, she
found that the books had taught pre
cisely the opposite lesson to that
which she desired, and that her hope
ful pupils were full of admiration of
the Tom Idle of the drama, and eagerly
desirous to imitate 1'is achievements,
while on the other band they regarded
Frank Goodchild as an uninteresting
milksop, whose example they were de
termined to eschew as much as possi
ble. I need hardly say that the poor
lady was sorely troubled at this most
unexpected result, and anticipated a
dreadful future for her children a
forecast which, I am happy to say, has
proved to be entirely groundless, as
they have all become worthy citizens
and excellent members of society.
If this be a fair sample of the general
effect of stories written with a profess
edly didactic purpose upon those who
read them, it would surely be worth
the while of those authors whose busi
ness it is to write for this particular
purpose to devote some serious thought
to the matter, and to try wnetner tney
can not make the good boys a little
less tedious, and the bad boys a little
less attractive. Indeed, I think the
remark may be extended to those who
write for children of a larger growth,
who not unfrequently commit the same
crime, and maae tne exceiieni young

commenced to tako your medicine as enrooted.
Tho result was you completed a permanent
cure in a little over eight months time. Al
most fine months have now passed Binco I loft
off taking your medicine, aud I am a well,
happy, and prosperous man once again. Joy
and gladness nave eome once more to our
family circle and driven forever away that
sadness and grief and deep sorrow that had
settled there because of my illnoes and bond
age to that great task aud slave-master, Mor
phine. For eight long, weary, sorrowing years
lodmeday by day for all tuat time to satisfy
tho demands of habit entailed upon me by the
doctors who attended me during my long ill
noss in tne summer and ran or isoi. since
the first Tuesday iu October last I have been
in court every day, here and there, with but
ono or two exceptions, and I have had full
strength of mind aud body to enable me to
conduct the matters and business there de
manded of me. liut for your aid, your skill,
aud your medicine, I never could havo done
sncu work. I tell you, Doctor, I am well again;
I am what I have written you I am. You have
done for me all aud more thau I have ever
written you. That awfully heavy weight or
load of profound grief and apprehensive sor
row tbat had for so long a tiino settled upon
the hearts of dearly loved ones in my own
loved home, because they saw through mor
phine the surely and swiftly coming of tho
sleep of death during the long night of the
grave, has been completely removed ; and now,
with light hearts aud joyous, barmy spirits.
they move on and ou through the hours of this
life, never forgettiug my great emanciption
from the long and terrible bondage of that
cruel but eeductive poison morphine.

TIDINGS from one who has bees cubed for
TWO YEARS.
Kingston, Rhode Iuland, Feb. 1, 1874.
Dear Doctor ColliDB, La Torte, Ind. :
I wish to repay, so far as I can, the great
obligation) l owo to you ror savini; my life.
llavinpr boen a victim to that most terrible
habit the ueo of opium aud having reached
that point when I felt that all was lost, and no
hope remained, upon hearing or your Antidoto,
I ventured to try it. I did bo, au you well
know, and from the time I commenced takinc
it have never put a particle of the accursed
drug between my lips. I was able from the
first to pursue my utmiu avocation, and. in fact.
dispatch a largely increased amount of busi
uets. My physicians advised me that I was
only substituting one habit for another : but,
notwithstanding all they said, I kept ou, and
ultimately reached a condition when I bad no
trouhlo iu abandoning the medicine. It is
now nearly two years sinco I was cured, aud I
enjoy the best of health and am enabled to
endure any amount of work and fatigue with'
out inconvenience. I feel and desno to so
express myself, that I owe my life to you ; and
you can, therefore, imagine my feelings toward
you. l nave aaviseu eoverai people in my
locality to apply to you for aid, and all who
have dono so have been fully cured. I am,
sir, yourB very truly,
Klisha C. Clarke.
A COMPLETE ANTIDOTE.
Brentwood, Williams County, Miss., )
April 10, 1814. f
Dr. Collins, La Forte, Ind. ;
Deab Bib I owe you an apology for not
writing Booner aud letting you kuosv how
came out with your Opium Antidote. It ban
boen about six months since I quit uning the
Antidote, and I am now all right and have
been ever since 1 quit ; in fact, ever since
commenced using it. My health is about as
good as it was before i had the rheumatinni
which caused me to form tho habit of using
morphine. I feel very thankful that I ever
learned of your Antidote, aud I am free to con.
fess that I thought it was a humbug ; but,
as drowning men will catch at straws. I con
cluded to try it, and I can now say that it is
no humbug, but it is just what you claim for
it a complete antidoto for the habit of Opium
Eating. You cau use mv name in connection
with thia, if you wish, lours truly,
II. Zellneb.
We hoar very favorable encomiums
regarding the Kluiwood and Warwick Collars
manufactured by tho Narragansett Collar
Company. These collars havo linen facing,
and owing to the peculiarity of cut, are most
comiortabie and neat-nttiug articles. The
edges of the collars are folded in underneath
all around, thus strengthening the collar and
preventing tho poiuts from turning up. We
recommend these collars to our friends.

Fever aud Ague, Chill Fever, &c.
A few months after having commenced the
manufacture of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, the proprietor began to reoeive
numerous letters from all parts of the Western
aud Southern titates bestowing the most un
bounded praise upon it for having promptly
cured the writers or their friends of Fever aud
Ague, or other forms of miasmatic, or mala
rious diseases. Ha was repeatedly urged to
make known the wonderful virtues of the
Discovery in the cure of Ague and kindred
diseases. He always replied that it was not
intended for a "oure-all," and should he
recommend it to people aa a remedy for so
many ainerenc rorms ana classes or disease,
he feared those who had never tested its vir
tues would at snce class it among the numer
ous humbugs of the day. This answer wag
satisfactory to no one ; they argued that the
whole country ought to know it at once, and
exnreused their astonishment at hia indiffer
ence to the subject. His ear and heart being
at all timoa open to the call of suffering
humanity, be has at last, after having reoeived
testimony from hundreds who have been
speedily oured by it, and many of them after
quinine ana ail me usual means uauiaiiea,con
sented to make the matter known.
Newman, Jeff. Co., Kan. Jan. 6, 1873.
Da. Pierces Dear Sir .-Having used a few
bottles of your Golden Medical Discovery, and
believing it to be the very best medicine for
Chills and Fever I wish to buy it by the dozen,
please give nie your prioe ior it.
