Stabbixo Affair. A correspondent in
forms us that on the 1st., at Cberry-Tree, In
diana county, Mr. Joshua Davis had a difficul
ty with his brother Benjamin whilst at dinner,
nd finally struck him with a pen knife, the
blade f which bit Benjamin between the sixth
and seventh rib. Benjamin tried to take the
knife from him when Joshua struck him on
tho left thigh, severing a large vein. Joshua
was arrested, and was to Lave been taken to
Indiana next morning. '
Harvest. Our farmers are pretty well
through with their wheat and rye harvest.
From what we can learn, the crop of wheat is
n average one, although some fields were al
most wholly destroyed by the weevil. The
greater part of the hay is also secured. We
have bad some fine showers during the past
few days, which have imparted new vigor to
the corn, which looks well. Buckwheat is al
so improving. The oats are suffering much
from rust and the crop will be light.
Self-Possessios. We see it stated that a
lady near Xewmarket, Tennessee, was recent
ly bitten by a rattlesnake ; that she undid her
apron string, tied it over the bite, killed the
Kriakc, cut oil a piece, applied it to the wound,
tlrank a quart of whiskey, and at last accounts
was doing well. The vivid imagination of
Dunham, of the Lock Haven Watchman, has
made several remarkable appendages to the
story, for in addition to all that is related of
the lady's doings, ho has her swallowing three
large pieces of tobacco, smoking six cigars,
eating two pounds of "bear's grease," and
trying to run down a wolf, besides locating
the occurrence in Clearfield county.
Mrs. Half's Receipts for tub Million.
This is the most complete work of its charac
ter ever published. It is bound up in one
handsomely issued volume of near eight hun
.dred pages. It is a thorough and practical
Encyclopedia for the whole country. The
whole is arranged with an Alphabetical Index
to every receipt in the whole work. Every
receipt, every precept is practical, and has
!een tested and proved worthy of credit. If
properly followed, the directions found in the
volume will infallibly produce the promised
result. Price one dollar and twenty-five cents
a cop-. Address, T. B. Peterson Brothers,
JJOG Chestnut Street, Philadelphia.
Curioits Titoier. Prominent among the
curiosities at the Hermitage, once the home
l Gen. Jackson, is a wooden pitcher, remar
kable both on account of the artistic skill dis
played and tho celebrity of the tree from
which the wood was procured. It was made
of wood from the elm tree under which Wil
liam Penn made the celebrated Indiau treaty.
The pitcher was presented by the coopers of
Philadelphia; and, although it is not larger
than a common cream-jug, it contains seven
hundred and fifty staves. The hcops, lid and
handle arc of silver ; the bottom is a magnify
ing glass, by looking through which one is en
nl.lid to see the joints, uhich are invisible to
tho naked eve.
The Virtues of Borax. The washerwomen
of Holland and Belgium, so proverbially clean,
and who get up their linen so beautifully white,
use refined borax as washing powder, instead
of soda, in the proportion of a large handful
of borax powder to ten gollons of boiling wa
ter; they save in soap nearly half. All the
large washing establishments adopt the same.
For laces, cambrics, &c, an extra quantity of
the powder is used, and for crinoline (required
to lie made stiff) a strong solution is necessary.
Borax being a neutral salt does not in the
slightest degree injure the texture of the lin
en ; its effect is too soften the hardest water,
and therefore it should be on every toilette
table. To the taste it is rather sweet, is used
for cleaning the hair, is an excellent dentri
ficc, and in hot countries is used in combina
tion with tartaric acid and bi-carhonato of
soda, as a cooling beverage. Good tea cannot
be made with hard water; all water maybe
made soft by adding a tea-spoonful of borax
powder to an ordinary sized kettle ot water,
in which it should boil. The saving in the
quantity of tea used will be at least one-fifth.
The Crops. The following in relation to
the crops is not without interest at this time :
The wheat crop in Indiana will be fully an
average one. Oats rather a failure. Corn
promising. Grass abundant.
The wheat crop in Ohio will fall but liftle
below an average should the season prove fa
vorable. In Georgia, corn and potatoes promise an
immense yield. So also throughout the south
west. Cotton crop is also fine.
. In Alabama, the prospects indicate as fine a
cotton and corn crop as any ever made in tho
State.
The Arkansas crops are tolerably good, the
corn, tobacco, wheat and oats crops especially.
In Texas, wheat good. Corn more than an
average. Cottou a large crop.
iVew York, Vermont, Massachusetts, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, all promise a full
average crop of wheat. Grass an immense
yield and potatoes and corn very promising.
In Wisconsin, the wheat crop will fall below
an average, so also in many portions of Virgin
ia and Maryland. The sugar and cotton crop
in the South promises a large yield.

GREAT DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.
IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO CUEWERS.
Dr. G-nstav lunuard's Taste Restorative Troches,
the Great Sa&rtitute for Tobacco. It is a well
known and inoontrovertable fact that the use of
Tobacco is the promoting cause of many of the
most severe MENTAL AND PHYSICAL disorders
to which the race of man is subject, as eureful an
alasis and long and painful experience have clear
ly proven that it eontaiaseertain narcotic and poi
sonous properties most dangerous in their effocts,
which by entering into the blood derange the
functions and operations of the Heart, causing ma
ny to suppose that organ to be seriously diseased.
TOBACCO affects also she entire nervous system,
manifesting itself as all who have ever used the
noxious weed will bear testimony in Lassitude,
Nervous Irritability, AVatcr Erash, Dyspepsia, and
many other disorders of a similar character. The
'Taste Restorative Troches" are designed to coun
teract these baneful influences, and have proved
completely successful in a multitude of cases, and
wherever used. Being harmless in themselves
they exert a beneficial effect upon the entire sys
tem, restoring the Taste which has become vitia
ted or destroyed by great indulgence, complete
ly removing the irritation and accompanying tick
ling sensation of tho Throat which are 'ways
consequent upon abstaining from the uso of To
bacco, and by giving a healthy tone to the Stom
ach, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who ara irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should use these Troches immediately and throw
off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobacco
Chewing.
These Troches or Lozenges are put up in a con
venient and portable form at the low price of 50
cents per Box. A liberal discount to the Trade.
Prepared solely by the undersigned to whom
all orders snon in be addressed.
