MR. II. H. STEVENS :-
JirK Sir I will most cheerfully add my
testimony to l Ue great number you have already
received in favor of your great and (rood tnedicine,
Vboetikb, for I do not think enough can be raid
ia Its praise, for I was troubled over thirty
years with that dreadful disease. Catarrh, and
hat! such bad roughing spells that it would seem
s though I cou'.d never breathe any more, and
Yeoetine has cured rue ; and I do feel to thank
God all the time there is so good a medicine, as
Yeoetike, aud I also think it one of the best
medicines for coughs und weak sinking feelings
at the stomach, and advist everybody to take
the YptETiKJ!, for I can assure them that it is
one ol the best medicines that ever was.

Report from a Practi.-al Chemist and Apothe

Pear Sir This is to certify that I have sold
at retail 154 S' doren (1K52 bottles) of your Ve
oktinb since April 12, 170, and can truly say
that it has given the best satisfaction or any re
tncdv for the complaiuts for which it is recom
mended that I ever sold. Scarcely a day passes
without some of my customers testifying to its
merits on themselves or their friends. I am
perfectly cognizant of several cases of Scroful

this vicinity. Very respectfully yours

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

The above plain honest s'.alemenl conclusively
fchows the quick and thorough c'.ratiBinn efTects
of tb VEGETINE in Scrofula.

people to be the best aud most reliable blood

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

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.

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.

It bakes very quickly, so that fruit which
quires much cooking must be cooked before ai

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

into the saucepan, which should staud near 1
