fixed at three o'clock in the afternoon for the

Tonsvo.—Thie common vegetable, the
use of which has become universal in our
country, is undoubtedly the most healthy sr-
Cole of diet that can be placed on the table.
Its qualities are most effestive when cooked
in the ordinary way, but used in whatever
manner it may be, the effects are wholesome.
& distinguished physician thus sums up its
merits
1. That the tomato is one of the most pow-
erful aperients et the liver and other organs;
where calomel is indicated, it is one of the
most effective and least harmful medical
agents known to the profession.
2 That a chemical extract will be obtained
from it that will supersede the of calomel
in the cure of diseases.
8. That he has sueeesafally treated diar
rh®• with this artie►e aloes.
4 That when used al an article of diet It Is
almost sovereign for dyspepsia and indigee•

5 That it should be constantly used for
doily food. Either anokei or raw, or in the
form of catsup, it is the most healthy article

The suggestion of the Dipatek in favor of a
convention of the newspaper men of Western
Pennsylvania meets with our warmest appro
val: An Association of the sort would lead to
Mailer feeling among the members of , the
fraternity, and might result in material' ad.
vantage. We have for some time past been
oonsidering a plan to increase the advertising
patronage of the State press, which, we are
quite collpant, would meet the Indorsement
of our brother edition, and which, if o•r
-ried into effect, would certainty increase their
remuneration to a large degree. In order to
, succeed in it, though, we must have the co.
;'operation of the editors of, the State, and in
no way could this be obtained so speedily and
surely as by a convention of the sort proposed.
We hope our neighbor will keep his idea be
, fore the attention of the fraternity.

They had the appearance of being unsuccess
ful attempts to obtain oil by boring. As Erie
lies on a plateau, from which there is a regu •
lar rise of ground stathw trd for ten miles, it
is not unreasonable to anticipate, th tit when
the clay-state stratifiettion, which for ns this
plateau, is pierced by the wells being bored
here, a gush of pure water may take place ;
unless, as we hope will be the case. a stream
of oil or heavy salt water ehould occupy the
tubes. It is thought by many that a judicious
expendiiare by the city of Chicago in artesian
welts, might have eared to that city the cost
of tke great tunnel under Lake Michigan
