WORK FOR SEPTEMBER.
**IOWINO OF GROICND.—I allayour
chipolata& force be but to the preparation
of your ground for the winter grain ; the
sootier this is done, the sooner will you be
in that position which all of us should cov
et.-ehat of being ready for the next. In
ploughing, whether the land be intended
for Rye,.or Wheat, it should be ploughed
deep: for, iu our humble opinion, there
nail be no surer truth than this—that depth
albite* is essential to successful culture.
Undercoocurring favorable circumstances,
shallow ploughing may, as it oiler. has,
produce very satisfactory yields ; but
theseare mere exceptions, and do not in
terfete with the integrity of our mle. We
would_ plough deep, whether the ground to
be'broken up be a clover-ley—a grass
sward, a stubble-field, or, indeed, any oth
er description of ground.
.Rvc:--In covering, do it with the plough,
and be sure to give a bed of 3 or 4 inches
to your seed—follow the plough with the
harrow, and that by the roller, so as that
the seed may be so compressed as to come
into immediate contact with the earth.—
This ensures an early germination and firm
hold to the roots of the plants. And In
order' that the plants may have time to
take deep root before frost sets in, and thus
entrench themselves against winter killing,
we would advise early, very early sowink.
We would much rather encounter the evil
of rankness than that "of winter killing.—
Where the ground is not good, and other
Mild manure not attainable, we would cer
taltily sow a bushel of plaster, or fire of
lime to the acre.
WirzAr.—As with many farmer this is
this money crop—as it is one peculiarly li
able to be taken off by disease and by in
seets,—rd owing to these eireustanee , s it
in among the most important products of
our eountry, we think it behoves every
one, to do all within his power to devise
amen preventive means to save this valua
ble clop from its enemies : as to curative
ones, under ocr present belief, we look
upon them as being unattainable. The pre
ventive means which now suggest them
selves to our mind. are these—l. Early
sowing. 2. the use of Plaster, Salt, or I
Sonia other substance calculated to prevent
the too rapid supply of the nutritive ma
nures during the last two or three weeks
of the growth of the plant.

This excellent compound, which is crea

the country, has at length made its
way successfully into the favor of our cit•
zens and the people around us. We have
read again and again of the efficacy of this
invaluable medicine—but from facts in our
possession, we are now well convinced
that, without any exception it is the safest,
pleasantest, and best compound ever offer
ed to the public, for the cure of all chronic
diseases, rheumatism, scrofula, and all im
purities of the blood ; together with many
other complaints.
It has so long been remarked, that the
age is one of •nostrums and nostrum ven

valuable discovery in the medical science,
lest we jeopardize our reputation for cre

The United States Reporter,
A Daily Journal of Government, Legislative and
• General News.
THE subscriber is now enabled to announce
the completion of his arrangements .for the
establishment of a well organized and Independent
Journal of News at the Seat of the General Gov.
ernment. The leading features of "The United
States Reporter" will be the lollowing
1. Early intelligence of the movements of the
various Departments of the Government, in refei
ence to Drimestie affairs and to the Foreign eels
none of the country, will be given with scrupu
lon, fidelity. Possessing peculiar facilities for ob.
raining hibernation. the "Reporter" will be ens.
bled frequently to communicate, exclusively, in•
telligencis,of the most important character.
It. 'Phu verbatim Report, of the Proceedings
and Debates of the U. States Senate, which the
proprietor is bound to furnish daily to that body,
to accordance with tbeterms of the contract made
at the close of the last session of Congress.' The
arrangements now made will at once fully secure
to the Senate of the United States an authentic
and complete record of its debates; and to the peo
ple—in &licitly enlarged degree—the benefit of
the expetience s _sfig,eci,_and slatesmanship.of
that body to which they have ever looked with
solieitoyis and respectful regard.
• 111. The Proceedings-add Debateslo • .t
of Representatives will also be given, with full
ness, impartiality, and the utmost promptitude.
Each day's record will be completely made up,
and appear - in the "Reporter" next morning.
LV. A Synoptical View of the Proceedingsand
Debates of all the State Legislatures will be regu
larly given. Members of Congress, and all doy
lies of readers, will thus be kept fully end syste
matically informed of domestic legislation in all
sections of the U. States.
V. Early intelligence of an important move
ments in the Legislatures of Great Britain and
France will be communicated by every steamer
from Europe, throuith Reporters in London and
Paris, who possess peculiar facilities for obtaining
information.
VI. The General News of the Day will be giv
en in a condensed form, with industry and atten
thin.
Such is a brisiview of what the "United States
Reporter' is designed to be. All the plans and
ornengements h e ro been melt matured, and the
hope is confidently cherhhed that the "Reporter"
will prove itself an energetic. industrious.
el, and perfectly , independent journal. It will
have no party views—no political bias. The pro
prietor, by the terms of his contract with the
Senate of the U. States, is bound to the condition
that "the paper shall contain no political &sena.
Aliens except the debates." It will be a vehicle of
news, not the organ of any set of opinions. The
grand aim of the subscriber is to establish at the
seat of Government a faithful and pmmpt reporter
of all sorts of intelligence—a responsible agent. uo
which the Politician, the business man, the menu
taminer, the methanie,and every one interested in
the affairs-of Congress and the Government, may
rely at all times with implicit confidence.
it is believed that' the establishment of such a
reliable Jciornal of Intelligence, on terms which
place it within teach of theArest masses of the
people, at the commencemot of *dial promises to
be a most interesting and eventful period in the
history 'of Congressional proceedings, will be re
garded withlaver , by all cleasee — of the COMMUni
ty ; and, having thus stated his objects, the sub.
scriber respectfully solicits a liberal and general
support from the enlightened public of the United
States. JAMES A. HOUSTON.

the result of a long and faithfully pursued course
of experiments instituted with the sole view to
discover (if possible) a certain, and. at the same
time, a safe remedy for this dreadfully afflicting
disorder, and after being extensively used in the
private practice of the subscriber during the last
eight years, in very numerous cases with the most
remarkable success, is now offered to the public,
for the benefit of those who, from distance or other
causes, cannot have the personal attention of the
proprietor, in the fullest confidence of its efficacy,
and in the firm belief that it will not disappoint
the expectations of those who may have occasion
for its use • in short , that it is the most VALUA
BLE artic le ever offered to the public for this di
sease.

came in and said that it was worms that was de
stroying the child, and at the same time spoke of
the wonderful effects she had witnessed from using
Dr. &Mane's Worm Specific in that neighborhood.
Ws procured a vial, gave one teaspoonful. when
the child discharged 42 large worms. I gave a
nother teaspoordul, witichAirn %hi .awaYACIPArt
in all 88 worms. As a duty %we to you and the
community I freely make kno n these facts. My
child is now well. What is very remarkable, the
Worm Specific expelled the worms alive in about
fonr hours after I gave the medicine.

The design of the Committee of the London
Tract Society, ender whose supervision the Eng.
lish work was prepared, has been to toter that
ground where all evangelical denominations meet.
■nd to make a plain and practical exposition of re
ligious truth and duty.
This work is based upon the commentaries of
Henry and Scott, and more than one hundred oth
er writers in the various departments of Biblical
Literature; the moat important observations 01
these eminent divines being quoted, constituting
a digest of the most valuable results at which the
learned men of all ages have arrived, in their crit
ical study of the Holy Scriptures. Reference has
been had to the wants of Sunday School teachers.
and of families engaged in the systematic study of
the scriptures.
Perhaps there never was a juncture of time when
true religion more greatly needed a safe-guard a
gainst attacks which are both boldly and insidi
ously aimed at her vital principles; perhaps true
religion was never in a more perilous position oe
tween open enemies and pretended friends, than at
this particular ctisis ; and surely never was it
more incumbent than now, on every true friend of
her holy precepts, every conscientious master of a
house-hold, every anxious parent, guardian and
protector, to be providid with the antidotes to the
poison, which is so unscrupulously scattered a
broad, or an argument against each deogerous fal
lacy which is propounded to the injury and detri
ment of that religion, which is the faithful erotic
of the Divine Creator, and the best exponent of his
will.
The object of the compilersluts been to provide
a commentary compact in sine;moderate in !vice.
and suited to cbriatians of every station, rank and
denomination.
"The family into whoee hands this work comes
have in their possession a store of Biblical science
and practical instruction of more value than gold.
The re-publication is a Veal undertaking, and we
hope it will receive an adequate aupport."—N. Y.

Having used in my practice, as well as in my
own family... Thomson); Compound Syrup of Tar
and Wood Naptha," I have no hevitetior. in saying
that it is the best preparation of the kind in use

MOST WONDERFUL CURE
Philadelphia, Dec. 4, 1841
Penetrated with a deep sense of gratitude for
the benefit experienced by the use of Thomson's
Compound Syrnp of Tar, end that others who,
like me, have languished through years of of
and suffering, without being able to find a remedy
may.know where it can be obtained, I voluntarily
make the following statement.
About four years since, after being affected with
a violent cold, it left upon me a troublesome and
Severe cough. Whilst the cough continued, which
was with scarcely an intermission during this
long period, language fails to tell what I have suf
fered from debility, pains in the breast and aide,
night sweet! - mgXi atilt I ti;
'beeittlfiir "lc - Ind. in fact all those symptoms which
mark a severe pulmonary affection. The relief
occasionally obtained by the discharge of the mat
ter which ob.tructed the healthy action of 'my
system, but increased my tears, as the purulent
wafter discharged was frequently streaked with
Stood.
During this time I was tinder the treatment of
several physicians, and took many of those prepa
rations teeommended as serviceable in the cases
of otbers, but without relief : and I at length eon•
. . that a cure in my case was hopeless. But
how agreeably 'entinged is now my opinion! I
have used fur about three weeks Thomson it Corn•
pound Syrup of Tar. By the use of one bottle my
cough has been relieved and my system reinvigo
rated, and by continuing the use of it up to this
time, I tun satisfied that my complaint is entirely
removed and eradicated.
