VEGETINE Will Cleanse Scrofula from the System. HONEST OPINION. Mk. H. R. 8TEXYENS: Dear Sir This is to show that my ton was taken sick in January, 1864, with Scrofula, which came out in large sores and ulcers on his left and hip. His lee was swelled more than twice its natural site. Ue had several doctors of high standing iu their profession two from Boston and three from Cbarlestowu without petting a bit belter. He was obliged to lie wherever he was placed, for he had uo use of hi limbs w hatcver. W hen we had given up all hope of his living we were told to try VEGE TINE. the great blood remedy; and he had taken it but a short time belore we could see a great change. The sores ruu so bad that we bad I change the cloilis four of five times a day. Still, be was getting better; for he could move his limbs and help himself a little. He was soon able to sit up in bed, and, by constant use or VEGETINE, it has cured him. He has a lame leg, which he will probably have for life ; but we all honestly believe, if we had used VEGETINE before we had bothered with those doctors. It would have saved the used of bis leg, ana restored It to natural health. I hope all those troubled with. Scrofula will read this testl- i mony of me and tny son, who s now ve:l aud 1 .hi. st inMV fnr Mmaelf. hl. lo ..Bk for himself. CATHERINE MAHONET, DANIEL MA HONEY, 19 Treuton St., Cnarlestown, Muss.

Vpe'are informed that there is an esiabli'hmetf' on front street, this city, where persons afe constactly engaged in repackini; tea. A fw years ato a vessel with an unusually larre" car?o of choice tea was wrecked on Loag.gearnj New Jersey, and the chests wererfii rOUu, tl be so thoroughly im pregaatfwith aIt Water that the Jiiderwriter ilid yK think it would pay tl.em to seil the tea. farty purchased the lead ConUineJ ia the boxes for two thousand dollars tnd aiterwnrJs reu iz d Bve thousand dollars from the sa.e of this article a. oue. In order to get ut the lead the boxes were removed from the wreca and the " contents thrown upon tbe beach, forming a small mountain of tea, originally wortli about a hundred thousand dollars. Afterwards the tea war placed in barrels by paities from New York, taken up the Hudson to a malt house, where it went through a brief wafhin:; to re move the brine, was artificially dried, repacked in imitation Chinese paper and sent forth In every direction, wherever purchasers could be found, as freshly imported lea of fine flavor, borne of it. we learn, is still in the maiket. The speculation was a profitable one to the nnseru poloqg party who Lad it iu charge.-OnrMW foicn Telegraph. J Fakmep.s Versus Mercham Wa take following rrom the New York Time, as a purison between farming and other kin-w business: - '- v "To be sutistled that wealth may be acquired by farmint; oue needs to look over the country and enumerate the number of thiifty farmers, whose farms are adorned by substantial and even elegant buildings, whose homes are sur rounded by luxury, and whose sons and danifh ters are as proiuii.iug, as well cultured, aad as well received as any in the land, and then look hack for ouly a few years to see how rapidly that number has increased. "Who ever heard of a farmer who followed ma calling as a legitimate and only pursuit, failing in but-ines-a T Aad pet the statistics show that nearly ninety per cent, of those who engage in mercantile pursuits become bankrupt. Tbe highways of trade and commerce are strewn with wrecked fortunes, while not one ran be found a.'otiit the quiet retreats of rural life." Hokse Stable Floors. -The long-d-bate.l question us to the best material for stable Boors, is bein revived. A c'.ay floor was held out lor year.-", aud Eueh was the earnestness ot it advo cates aud tbe many arguments brought to- bear upon It, that we were induced some fifteen to twenty years ago to try it. In three or Jour mouths we had the planks back aijain, be'in; se verely satisfled of tha disadvantages of clay fer horses Our present floor ol planks is simply inclined a little from front to rear, where tbe us ual gutter is made to carry offthe liquid voiding. We do nol believe in sand, coal-ashe, sawdast, afphaltum, flags, cobble stones, or any of these modern devices to iujure horses. Thus (ar we have never noticed that this little inclination was in any way injurious ; and we doubt wheth er the wooden gratingplaced over the plauking; would be advisable on the ground that tbe ani mal would be no more comfortable, while this movable grating or second floor might lead to accidents. When a person can keep borsea in good, sound, healthy condition for from five to sevcu years, aa we bave done ou a carefBily-eon-structed plunk flooring, inclining a little to the rear, it is Justus well to be satisfied with it. Gerrniintown T-Ugraph. Fai.l-plasti.so of potatoes; also growinj them by laying on the ground and cove'ing tbeui well witb straw are again up for discus sion. As farmers are men of seuse and ex perience they will allow '"the lancy" to try these ypthods of producing murphies. pascliolD. nM asd eoos. To make a dish of bam and ei:gs as good as possible, cut the bam nearly half an inch thick, boil it iu plenty of water till barr-ly-eeoked through, pour off the water and put the frying pan in a place ju.t hot enough to brown the fat part of the ham slightly, but not hot enough to make smoke or to brown the lean meat much. When this is dubbed, remove the frying-pan from the fire, take np the bam, pour ff the fat into a cup, and wipe the pan till il shiues like a mirror, without a single speck t mar the polish. Then put iu a spoonful of the clear part of the fat, break iu the eg, and set the pan to cook as slowly as possible for four or five minutes, taking them np as soon as they can be lifted out. Place them around the bain, and do not pour any fat on the dish. Eat with mashed potatoes. VENTiLaTios for Cipboakds. In the con struction of old bouses, und In too many in stances new ones also, a great defect is to be found in the abseuce of any nn-de of ventilation for the cupboards. This omission U a serious one in all ease?, but especially in those which are devoted to the reception of food or of dirty linen. In such cases these closets, with their contents, become laboratories for the manufac ture of polluted air, which from lime to tim escapes iutu the living rooms and makes itsel' unpleasantly apparent. The remedy for this i not difficult ; a few perforations in the doos will be found serviceable ; but if found pracl eutile the wall of tbe cupboard should also i perforated, so that a thorough draft couid I obtained. Oatmeal Pib-Ckist. Scald two parts of o meal with oue part of hot water. Roll ttl It bakes very quickly, so that fruit which quires much cooking must be cooked before ai ding the pie. This remark, however, applii only to pies which are baked with an nppi ciust. Oatmeal pie-crust is very tender, an possesses ail the desirable qualities of short pit crust witb no deleterious properties. Rice. To boil rice as in India proceed as fo lows : Into a sa'iccpau of two q I iris of wate when boiling, throw a tabiespoonful of salt, at then put in oue pint of rice, previously we washed iu cold water. Let il boil twenty uif utes, throw into a colander, diain, and pul bj into the saucepan, which should staud near 1 lire for several minutes. Gtrmantom 7. irrtjtA. How to Clean Sitter Tcbs. A correspr dent asked the New York Times how to L oughly cleanse butter tubs, to which It repl'ii W e have consulted with the well-known 'J. t of Liberty street. She gives the following die tions : 'Fill your tuba with boiling water, u throw in four ounces of American potash. d let staud for twelve hours, being careful mo touch the potash with your fl hrowiug out the potash water scrub well t hot suds, rinse, and let the tubs stand f. while in the sun.' An old butter dealer o states that rancid butter tubs may be sweetc) by filling them loosely with e.ean timothyy nd pouring over it vuough scalding water liornujhly cle.iu the tu , keeping It ligr overed long enough to retain tbe steam. 1j is a eouvenient and cheap method for da- men. T Somi one, doubtless not knowing just wh to get at, asserts tn.it turnips, e.it as cab ban. and put down in the same way. as for saue kraut, are just as good, and soon. W .h.ma ty, let anyone who wishes only his labor for bis pain, try it. Turnips are wholesome boiled iu any way, mashed or in soups or stews, while cabbage U not, and this N the best way to dis pose of them. A French money-lender, complaining t tbe late Baron Rothschild that he bat lent Boble man ten thousand francs who had gone off lo Constantinople without leaving any acknowledg ment of tbe debt, the Baron said, "Well, write to him and ask him to send you the seventy thousand francs he owes yon." "But he only owes me ton," said the monsy-lender. "Pre cisely," rejoined the Baron ; and ha will write and tell yon so, and tha you will get his ac knowledgment." , 1
