Last Sunday, snow to the depth of several
inches fell in this section of country, and the
atmosphere growing cold, and remaining so
ever 6incc, we have been In the enjoyment of
quite a "spell" of winter weather.

A physician cantions ladies against wearing
tight garters, saying that he has had a very se
vtre case of varicose veins of the foot and leg
,f a lady, caused by her wearing garters so
tight as to make a furrow around her limb
trom one-eighth to one-fourth of an inch in
depth. He says that garters should be worn
us loose as possible, only just tight enough to
upport the stocking.
Boots are said to have been invented by the
Carians. They were at first made of leather,
afterwards ol brass or iron, and were proof a
ainst both rust or cut. It was from this that
Humer called the Greeks brazen-footed. For
merly, in France, a great foot was much es
teemed, and the length of the shoe in the
fourteenth century was a mark of distinction.
The shoes of a prince were two feet and a
half long ; those ot a baron two feet ; those of
a knigl.t eighteen inches long. The trouble
Low-a-davs is to get them short enough.
The' Journal de Constantinople gives an ac
count of a curious religious ceremony which
has just taken place in that city. It is the re
ception by the Sultan of the golden gutter in
which is collected the rain that tails upon the
temple of Mecca, and which thenceforward is
considered by the Musselmans as holy water.
This gutter has been carried from Mecca, and
Ttceived by the Sultan with pompous ceremo
nies. It has been placed in the oM palace
at Constantinople, where the arms, flags nnd
.thtr memorials of Mohammed are carefully
preserved.
A Mormon is a living raradox. He says
grace before a cotillion, swears in his sermons,
elects his texts indifferently from the Bible,
The Books ot Mormon, an almanac or the Pres
ident's message, and is perpetually quarrelling
r the sake of peace. Ilis religion is a joke,
and he makes the best story teller a chief of
The quorum. He assumes dignities, but has
not the slightest respect for them ; and the ef
lect of his piety is to put him on a level with
the greatest reprobate of the time. In short,
i:e is the Latter Day Saint, or, in other words,
the last on? vou would think of calling a saint.
The Icelanders have a most curious custom,
and a most effectual one, of preventing horses
from straying, which is believed, is entirely
peculiar to this island. Two gentlemen, for
instance, are riding together without atten
dants; and wishing to alight for the purpose
"t visiting some objects at a distance from the
road, they tie the head of one horse to the tail
! another, and the head of this to the tail of
the former. In this state it is utterly impos
sible that they can move either backwards or
forwards, one pulling the one way and the oth
t the other; and. therefore, if disposed to
move at all. it will be only in a circle, and e
ven then, there must be an agreement to turn
their Leads the same way.
The Delaware County (Pa.) Republican says:
We met an individual at Media, on Monday
last. 7th instant, who was on his way to the
Rocky Mountains, on foot. lie was a stout
young man, and was engaged in drawing a
small basket wagon, in which was a baby, about
four months old. His wife, a tidy woman a
bo;it his own ag'. neatly nnd comfortably dres
sed, and tastefully hooped, accompanied him.
He told us lie had been taken captive by the
Indians lebnginz to the tribe of the Six Na
tions, when a child, and had remained with
thf-m until within a few months, when be left
to vis:t his relatives in New Jersey, intending
to return to bis friends in the far West at an
early day. He addressed his wife in the In
dian diaiect. which she answered in the same
"latignase. It will be a long time before they
reach their place of destination, if the whole
journey be made on foot.
A Complicated Marriage QcESTrov. Scan
dal is busy with an event which has something
of the ludicrous. A nobleman of Milan of
some we alth, who had contracted marriage by
civil contract before the legal authorities,
fonnd it expedient to disown the tie alter a
while, in order to connect himself with a Mi
lanese 1 dy of great personal attraction. The
second marriage was solemnized in church.
But the lady, ir her turn, having been courted
by a man of higher rank and of greater wealth,
instituted proceedings to annul her marriage,
upon t!;e plea of bigamy on the part of tho
husband, alleging, now that it served her pur
pose, that his first marriage was legal. The
new hanns were published, but the husband of
the two wives instituted proceedings to for
bid them. The matter is now before tueconrts,
and it remains to be proved whether the hus'
band of two wives is to become a bachelor,
and the lady, ambitious of a second husband
while the first is living, to be pronounced a
spinster.
The Democratic papers arc parading in their
fiilitnms an article from the Kansas Herald of
Freedom, charging old John Brown with being,
from the time of hisemigration to the tenitory,
a rather desperate man. Whether the state
ments of the Herald, are worthy of belief, can
best be judged from tho character of its edi
tor, G. W. Brown, who, after having been fur
nished with money by three members of the
Emigrant Aid Society to start his paper, turn
ed traitor to his cause, when he was captured,
with six loaded revolvers in his pocket, by one
Border Ruffian and a negro, and has ever since
been denouncing prominentFreeState men,and
opposing their candidates and measures, at the
same time keeping op the names of Chase and
Banks as bis Presidential candidates, for the
purpose of deceiving people, and making them
bcliove that he. is not a hireling of the Admin
istration. Tic is regarded by those who know
him cs capable of doing anything for money,
i.d it is said to be a common saying in Kan
sas that he would slander his wife, editorially,
f r ten cents a line, provided you paid him in
advance for a column's worth. We do not
pretend to excuse Old John Brown for un
dertaking to carry into effect his mad project
Rt Harper's Ferry he did wrong and deserves
t' be punished but we think the Democratic
politicians must be hard run when they have to
call to their aid nuch a pitiable biped an the
of the Herald of Freedom.

Aug. 21. 1S59. THOMAS ROBINS.
SCROFULA, OR KING'S EVIL, is a con
stitutional disease, a taint, orcorruption of tho
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak,
and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades
the whole body, and may burst out in disease on
any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks,'
nor is there one which it may not destroy. The
scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, or disordered or unhealthy
food, impure air, filth ami filthy habits, the depres
sing vices, and. above all, by the venereal infec
tion. Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in the
constitution, descending from parents "to children
unto the third and fourth generation ;" indeed it
seems to be the rod of llim who says. liI will visit
the iniquities of the fathersupon thdirchildren."
It effects commence by deposition from the blood
of corrupt and ulcerous matter,whioh, in the lungs,
liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; ir
the glands, swellings; and on the surface, erup
tions or sons. This foul corruption, which gen
ders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so
that scrofulous constitutions not only suffer from
scrofulous complaints, but they have far less power
to withstand the attacks of other diseases ; conse
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders which,
although not scrofulous in their nature, are still
rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most
of the consumption which deceminates the human
family has its origin directly in this scrofulous con
tamination . and many destructive diseases of the
liver, kidneys, brain, and indeed, of all the organs,
arise from or are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous ; their
persons are invaded by this lurkingconiamination,
and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse
it from the system we must renovate the blood by
an alterative medicine. and invigorate it bj healthy
food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in
Ayer's Compound Frlraet of Sars ipnrttl'i,
the most effectual "remedy which the medical skill
of our times can devise for this everywhere pre
vailing and fatal malady. It is combined from the
most active remedials that have been discovered
for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the
blood, and the rescue of the system from its des
tructive consequences. Hence it should beeinploy
ed for the cure of not only scroiula. but also those
other affections which arise from it, such as Erup
tive and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony's Fire, Rose,
or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules, Blotches, Blains
and Boi'.s, Tumors. Tetter and Salt Rheum, Scald
Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism, Syphilitic and
Mercurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debilit3
and, indeed, all Complaints arising from Vitiated
or Impure Blood. The popular belief in "impari
ty of the blood''' is founded in truth, for scrofula is
a degeneration of the blood. The practical purpose
and virtue of the Sarsaparilla is to purify and re
generate this vital fluid, without which sound
health is impossible in contaminated constitutions.
AVER'S CATHARTIC PILLS, for all the purpo
ses of a family jdiy vie, arc so composed that dis
ease within the range of their action can rarely
withstand or evade them. Their penetrating pro
perties search, aud cleanse, and invigorate every
portion of tho human erganism, correcting its dis
eased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities.
As a consequence of these properties, the inalid
who is bowed down with pain or physical debil

Not only do they cure the every-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable aud dan

AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, for the rapid
cure of Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consumption. and for
the, relief of Consumptive Patients in ailvanced
stages of the disease. So wide is the field of its
usefulness and so numerous are tho cases of its
cures, that almost every section of country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restor
ed from alarming and even desperate diseases of
the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superi

apparent to escape observation, and wheie its vir
tues are known, the public no longcrhesitate what
antidotes to employ for the distressing and danger
ous affections of the pulmonary organs that are in
cident to our climate. Wailemany inferior reme
dies thrust upon the community have failed and
been discarded, this has gained friends by every
trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted thev can
never forget, and produced cures too numerous
and too remarkable ever to be forgotten.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO BOOK. BUYERS
My attention has been called to statements made
through the public journals, by a New York Gift
Sto e, which are calculated to. deceive ; w.ho even
presume to advertise themselves as the originators
of the Gift Book Enterprise, which was first suc
cessfully established, and I may say hotiarftbly
conducted by myself. This concern, who ace pro
claiming themselves, '-The Oldest in the business,"
are indebted to me, not only for their first ideas of
conducting the business, but foV stock to commence
with, and a place to commence in. Their state
ment, that this is -The fifth year of their location
in New York," is also faise.
It has been thought, on account of the name
connected with this New York Gift Store, that it
was a branch of my Original Enterprise; but it is
not so, and I wish it distinctly understood, that I
am not in iny way responsible for their deceptive
advertisements, nor for the manner in which New
York Gift concerns are conducted. And holding
the position I do, as the originator of the Gift
Book Enterprise in the United States having es
tablished it and brought it to its present high po
sition, bv constant labor, unwearied application.
and large esp"diture of money, I deem t my du
ty to the public and myoelf to expoQ these pre
tendod ' originators," who ure attempting to Jm
poso upon the people. I would 'uere publiel v state
that these parties have been referring', without
authority or permission, to the largest'and most
widely known publishing house in tho U nited
States. I am in ormed by this firm, which is lo
cated in thi3 city, that not only hav thev never
given permission to this New York Gift Store to
refer to them, but they utterly disclaim any knowl
edge of their business or standing. The fore
going can be substantiated to the satisfaction of
