The Burosma lias been the means of
doing a great deal of good iu healing
the sick, and benefiting the afflicted,
many of whom had almost despaired
of health or of even being free from
pain. Six years ago, a man troubled
with Kidney difficulty came to my
Drug Store, leaning heavily on his
cane, nearly half doubled, hand
across his;back an object of pity; said
he had been troubled in this way for
years, and whenever he took cold it
settled across his kidneys, often con
fining him to his bed for days and
weeks with excruciating pain. He
took a bottle of the Barosma, and
in three days returned, saying it was
worth fifty dollars a bottle to him, and
was willing to pay that if he could not
get it without. He continued using
it, buying the six bottles for five dol
lars, which cured him entirely.

Congressional districts in the State,
and are gentlemen of the highest
character, energetic, enterprising and
progressive.
The exhibitors -are assured that
every attention 'will be paid to their
wants and convenience. Visitors
will find such an exhibition as will
fullyjustify them in spending a few
days at the Fair. The exhibition will
prove both instructive and pleasant.
The buildings erected on the splen
did site along the lake shore in iS72
have all been refitted and repaired.

We advise all to visit the State Fair
at Erie, and spend at least two days.

A Bill of Particulars.
A friend in Geneva, 111., writes us
that he lias heard a great deal about
the "Dalrymple farm," near Fargo,
and has also seen many contradictory
statements abont the size of the farm
and the amount in wheat this year,
and asks us to give him "a bill of
particulars." For the benefit of our
correspondent, and others who may
be interested in largo farming opera
tions, wo will state that what is called
the "Dalrymple farm" is a tract of
about 11,000 acres of land near Cassel
ton, twenty miles west of Fargo, on
the line of the Northern Pacific Rail
road. It is owned by Geo. V. Cass
and P. B. Cheney, of New York, and
Oliver Dalrymple, the "wheat king of
Minnesota," as he is termed. Twelvo
hundred acres were broken in 187.5
and sowed to wheat last year. This
year thero are 4,000 acres in wheat
and a splendid crop it is, too and
3,000 acres additional were broken thie
season for seeding next year.
Mr. Dalrymple also owns a half in
terest in what is known as the "Gran
diu farm," a tract of 40,000 acres just
north of Elm River, in Traill County,
D. T., 85 miles north of Fargo. The
other owners are the Grandin
Brothers, bankers of Tidioute, Pa.
On this farm there are 3,500 acres in
wheat this year, and some 3,000 acres
broken for next year. To harvest
this crop of 7,500, acres on the two
places, it required 42 self-binding reap
ers, 225 horses aud mules and 150 men.
Nino steam threshers, each with a
capacity of 1,000 bushels per day, are
now at work threshing the grain.
In addition to his interest in these
two immense farms, Mr. Dalrymple
owns 2,000 acres of laud in Cottage
Grove, Minn., near St. Paul, 1,500
acres of which is in wheat so that
either as sole or half owner, Mr.
Dalrymple is interested in 9,000
acres of wheat this year, which will be
increased to 15,000 acres next year.
We may add that it is the intention
of the owners of these two huge farms
to break on an average about 5,000
acres each year, until the whole 51,000
acres are brought under cultivation.
They have abundant means, and the
experiment so far has proven that it is
not possible to make a better invest
ment of money. This is the second
year of the enterprise, and so far the
net profits have been over $10 per aere
each year, for every acre under culti
vation. Go thou and do likewise, and
there is plenty of room here to do it in.
A virulent disease has broken out
among the horses in Delaware county.
It is an affection of the throat, great
swelling of. the glands taking place,
and the windpipe appearing to be af
fected, the breath becoming very of
fensive. The disease is rapid in its de
velopment, death of tbe animal fre
quently resulting in six or eight hours
after the attack. It has so far baffled
the skill of the surgeons, and appears
to be extending.
