Price two dollars per bottle, or six bottles
for ten dollars—which will be sent to in va•

.AII orders must he accompanied with the
Cash, or they Will receive no attention.
This medicine needs no pulling, it speaks
for itself, while perfectly harmless in its ope
ration it eradicates the sa•stem from the
efrects produced by unskillful treatment. It
has already produced some astonishing
cures, and of cases where the patient has
been cdnlin e d to the Louse for years, and
those that got abroad only with then use of
Crutches, were set at liberty by the use of
from one to six Bottels. Certificates of
cures can be shown from'the most respect

None is genuine without his written

There is no subject perhaps .on which
false notions exist more generally in 'the
min& of those directly interested in the
matter, than upon the education of children
fur whom the profession of agriculture has
been chosen by their parents. In many of
our sister States the agricultural interest is
sadly depressed by reason of the neglect
' with which it is treated by legislators, and
the more . cull ible neglect with which agri
culturalists treat thumselves. Commerce,
tit::i.ett.ceute, a. d be currency receive their
sioal, 1 to tHtm f r om our statesmen
and leuislativ, s, the inurest
final:' his-blood of them all,
is ti..) much ail too generally forgotten.
But if farmers wool I cease to neglect them
selves, they would thrive in spite of the neg.
b et of legislators, and by suitably educating
their children, they would secure a more
general representation of their interests in
It gislatiee bodies, and the I assage oral! acts
-- rtir.a.dfal - forits fostering andprotection.
When the farmer discovers that one of
his sons is gifted %%jib more than ordinary
intelligence, he concludes that he is too
smart to follow the plough, and then he is
willing to make sacrifices, if necessary; to
secure for him a suitable education. If the
boy is to be a minister, or a physician and
live uyoh the disease's oldie unfortunate, or
lawyer and live upon the quarreli. and
mistakes of the passionate mid the weak,
he must have a thorough education ; but if
lie is to furnish food for all classes and prii
fessions—if hb is to assist nature in the tidi
ly miracle by which she feeds her children,
then the most scanty rudiments of knowledge
must suffice for him, and he must be con
tent to dig among the clods, and become
almost insensible as they.
Now this is wrong—totally and radically •
wrong. The farmer should have a thorotth,
I general, and professional education. Of
i course we would not recommend him to,
'study Greek and Latin, brit he wants the
benefits of schools designed expressly to
pupils for the professipn of Agricultural
schools in uhich beside the common Eng:.
fish branches, Natural Philosophy and Che,
inistry in their relations to the business of
the fanner, and the production r.nJ elements
of the soil, together with every other study
necessary to fit men fur active duties as
citizens of a self-governing community, and
practical farmers, should be thoroughly
taught. When farmers are thus educated,
their piofessiOn . will be come more respect
able, and more profitable. Their interests
will then be fostered in our legislative bodes,
and will thrive at home. Then will their.
influence predominate in the council and the .
mart, and it depends upon the farmers them:
selves whether they Will take the position
they should occupy in one of the most con
siderable nations of the earth, or plod along
is the beaten truck of their forefathers.—

The following extract from a letter of a
St. Louis gentleman to a friend in this
cinity, will give some idea of the scale on
which fanning is conducted in Missouri
"Yesterday I took a ride to see one of our
fine Missouri farms, about eight miles from
St. Louis. A Mr. Sigerson and Brothers
have one thousand acres fenced in with a
rail and post fence, which, is one mile and
• a half lung in a straight line both sides, and
with fine large gates every quarter of a mile.
They have 150 acres of corn, 40 acres of
, strawberries, 30 acres of peaches, about 80
acres of flowers, and about 200 acres of fine
grass, and 200 acres of various fruit trees.
and about 30J acres pasturage, &c., all
lin the completes! order and neatness,• and
to a high state Of ctiltivritiOn.' They hayil
about 100 head of cattle, 600 sheep, &C".,
2,500 pear trees. They have a row of these
trees set out three quarters of a mile long
in a straight line, with a row of arbor vitro
trees on one side., I cannot begin to tell
you of all the beauties of this place. The
natermelon patch was about the si2e of
half the Boston Common, and completely
covered with vines, and melons of the most
'lucious description. You must remember
all the land occupied by the fruit trees is
also covered with straWberries, grass, .&c.
This farm has been opened within six years.
Can this be beat in the old Bay State any
where ? If so, let me know. There are
fine carriage avenues through the farm•
crossing at right angles the main avenuei
bordered with flowers each side : about n
quarter of a mil. I spent n &Tin the vi
cinity, and -dined there ow the farm, 'was
escorted all Over it, rinfrfh/ated in the most
hospitable mermen"— Traveller.
