Blackwoods Magazine.—The ApriJ
number of Blackwood with the accustomed
puctnality of that magazine made its apper-
ance upon our table yesterday morning and
with the assurance of n rich treat wo open
ed its cover- With its contents we were
not disappointed. Each article
treat of itself.
“Fair to See” was continued JAfter which
followed an interesting and elaborate review
of “New Books” bearing an examination of
“Ilutton’s Essays," “Hugh Miller’s Life
and Letters,” “Iona,” by the Duke of Ar-
gvllej “Hare’s Walks ia Rome,” “Arnold’s
Friendship’s Garland,” “Mitford’s Tales of
Old Japau,” in J Mr. Trollop’s “Siren.”
After this comes an interesting article
upon the condition of Scotch Agricultural
Laborer, which wonld be profitable to our
agricultural friends; aud here, by the way,
we wonld respectfully recommend to the
Directors of our Fair Association, the pro
priety of enlarging the list of their premi
ums so as to embrace the more sterling and
standard works of periodical literature,
such as the British republications of Leo.
n.rd Scott & Co , Little’s Living Age, and
the better of the American Magazines.
The End of the War” follows this arti
cle, when we have an excellent financial
paper on “Bullion.”
The “Descent of Man” is a clover satire
upon Darwin’s recent work. “How can we
Trust Them” is a political paper of consid
erable force, attacking the present Ministry
of Mr. Gladstone.
Altogether, the April number of Black
wood is a capital one, and we commend it
to our readers.

bare made a chemical examination of a .ample
of 70nr“8ehidam Schnapps," with tba intent of
determininu if any foreign or injurious snhstanea
had been added to the distfliad spirit*.
Th* examination ha* resulted in the eonclu-

cover any trace of the deleterious sabstaness
which arc sometimes employed in the adultera

When disease has undermined th* health, and
th* physical system has become prostrated, a
stimulant that will not only strengthen, but re
move th* cans*, should b* immediately resorted
Mantel distress is also a fruitful source of
the breaking down of tha constitution, and ti>*
ravages of this enemy to health are truly alarm-
For all such maladies Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters bar* been found unsurpassed. By met
ing directly upon the digestive organs, they re
move the heavy, disagreeable foaling after eat
ing, so often complained of by persons of a deli
cate temperament. So soon as digestion is ros
tered, the patient finds his strength increasing,
and his gsnarsl health is improved.
Thousands of persons certify that it may be
relied on in all cases of weakness er nervous del
bility attendant upon sedentary habits. Th*
generality of Bitters aro ae disagreeable to the
1 mate that they are objectionable to a weak stom
ach. This IS not the case with Hestetter’a Bit
ten, which will bo found mild aod extremely
pleasant. Balsamic plants, barks and roots con-
ribnte their restorative juieei to render it sooth
ing and steengthaning. Its basis is th* only
pure stimulant which has ever bean produced,
containing no fusil oil, or any other deleterious
containing no /tail oil, *r any
element. Hi* most eurstal and skllfktl chemists
have analyed the Bitters, and pronounce them
harmless. This is seientifis testimony; bat th*
testimony of th* hundreds of thonnnds who
bar* experienced tho preventive aad curative
effects of the creel vegitoN* tonic and alterative
*f modern tunes is still men conclusive. In
