The ‘Blood Food,’ is one of the great est medicines of the age, and is rapidly driving out of the market all the quack nostrums of modern times. Its efficacy is so great, and its superiority so justly acknow ledged, that it- is found difficult to supply the immease and increasing demand for the article. Dr. Eaton's celebrated ‘Infantile Cordial,’ is a medicine prepared by a regular physician of eiainenoe in his profession, and one who has devoted his life to the peculiar phases of Infantile diseases. It is no humbug, but a medioine which commends itself to those only who eaa appreeiate it.”—Apalachicola, Flor. Tinu. Set advertittmmt.

In due time the nest was cleared of its eggs, and the one bearing the inscription discovered. The wonderful news was at once “telegraphed" from hou.se to house through the town, and be fore night hundreds had journeyed to the spot to see it for themselves. Consternation was depict ed on every countenance in view of the impend ing calamity which they were certain the pheno menon denoted. It finally occurred to them to ask counsel of their pastor in this their hour of terror. Parson A. was accordingly sent for, and arriving, the cause of alarm was made known to him, backed up by an exhibition of the egg. The parson examined it attentively, after which he laid it down, and for many minutes seemed lost in reflection. His parishioners thought they saw in this fresh cause for alarm, and one and other would ejaculate, in hoarse whispers, “The Lord wrote iti the Lord wrote it!” At length the old man rose as if to address them, and, Stretching to hia full height, exclaimed, “If the Lord wrote that, he didn’t know how to spell Berkley!” and, bidding them good day, he walk ed off. Their eyes were opened, and they saw in it at once the trick of some mischievous wag, but it was not till some time afterwards that they found out the author, to whom they ever after wards owed a grudge.—I\ietrport New$. Chinete Kite*.—They do not consider any pur suit so frivolous as to be denied the best advan tages of science, not even the flying of paper kites. It is strange to see sober sedate merchants tug ging away at a long string guiding a kite very el- fectually in the air. Some are made in the shape of birds, and the hovering of the kestral or the quick dive of the sparrow-hawk is beautifully imitated by an expert guidance of the string. The first I saw was in Shanghai, and it appeared so real that I got down a rifle and tried to shoot, but was told it was only a kite. “To be sure it is; why not have a shot at it?” and it was ,some time till I understood it was a paper not a bird kite. The Chinese beat us all hollow in these things, especially in the “messengers” they send spinning up the string. They send up prettily painted gigantic butterflies with outspread wings, at the back of which is a simple contrivance to make them collapse when the butterfly reaches the kite, and as soon as they collapse down comes the butterfly, sliding along the string, ready to ‘ be adjusted for another flight. Important to Houaekeepers.—KW good hou.se- wives are now preparing their pickles, and it is all-important, for more reasons than one, that they should secure pure cider vinegar. It is au thoritatively stated that a very sharp vinegar can be made with either sulphuric, nitric, citric or tar taric acids, at the small cost of ten cents a barrel. Such vinegar is sold in New York, according to a writer in the Tribune. lie says he one day ate boiled cabbage and vinegar at one eating-house, and, in less than an hour thereafter, he was thrown into a strong fever, with much sensitive ness of touch, nausea, head-ache, soreness of the throat, and other indications of poison, and after passing a restless night, woke in the morning completely salivated. On consulting a physician and chemist, he was informed that such were al ways the effects of Nitric Arid upon the system when not taken in sufficient quantities to produce death, [lou.sekeepers should be on their guard against this dangerous traffic. The spurious ar ticle may be generally detected by a biting pun gency of taste, and by destroying vegetables (as cucumbers) when used for a pickle.—Pet. Ex. The latest project of the people of Chicago is one to connect the waters of Lake Michigan with those of the Gulf of Mexico by an uninterrupted channel for steamboat navigation. The original scheme of the lllinoi.s and ^Michigan canal, when first projected by the State government of Illinois, I comprise a ship canal of sufficient capacity to float the largest cla^s of vessel? that could navigate the j Illinois river, and a considerable portion of the I work was constructed upon that plan, but upon ■ the failure of the means the design was given up I and the work completed for ordinary canal boats only. Now, however, that Chicago has become a I great and flourishing city, centralizing the capital, j commerce, and interests of a vast region, the idea j is again revived for a two-fold purpose; first to i serve the ends of commerce, and second to carry j off the drainage of the city of Chicago, and thus j improve its sanitary condition. There are two I propositions having these objects. One is to cut I down the’summit of the Illinois and Michigan I canal, while the other is to make a new channel ' through Mud lake to the Aux Plaine river, and I then to deepen the channel of that stream suffi- ^ ciently to answer the purpose. Farts for Poor Formers.—“Those farmers who I have most difficulty to make both ends meet al ways plough most and keep most stock. Now, these men take the true plan to keep them selves always poor, because their crops and stock are always poor and bring little.” So writes John Johnson in a letter to the Secretary of our State Society; and he thus illustrates his statement: ' “It is good profit to raise three hundred bushels of wheat from ten acres, but when it takes thirty acres to raise that amount it is raised at a loss. ’ So it is with cattle and sheep; you will s^the think-* ing farmer making four-year old steers worth from 860 to 880 each, and his'rieighbor’s at the liame age not worth over 825 to 840. His a^rtw^' to * the latter is, “If his land is exhau.sted he .sfiould ■ plough no more than he can thoroughly manure. I Ssed with clover and grass and let it rest, and I that field will not only pay well for tillage, but it 1 will furnish manure (if rightly managed) to make another field of the same siae rich also.” And then keep it rich; do,not run it with grain until again exhausted, or “the Utter end of that land .will be worse tbao
