One of the most delightful exercises
that can be indnlged in by the family
circle is the practice, of .siicred music
on Sabbath evening. And to derive
the greatest amount of pleasure from
it, it should be accomprnied by a
cabinet organ. This has a sweetly sol
emn sound, which no other instrument
can ever attain, which makes it an in
valuable accompaniment to sabbath
evening or family worship. The cabi
net organ is an improvement on the
melodeon, and has been bronght to
great perfection of late years. Decid
edly the b.est made are those of Mason
A Hamlin, which are sold by Geo. P.
Guilford & Go., Macon. One of them
is now used by the Baptist Chnrch in
Perry.

Highway Bobbeby.—An old negrt
named Cary Houser, which they called
him for short “One-legged Cary,” was
knocked over and robbed Saturday
night, near the branch at the eastern
end of town. He had received about
fifteen dollars that evening, winch was
the temptation to commit the deed.
He is reported to be in a precarious
condition, and cannot tell who struck
him.
Cotton is now weak, at 20 cen:s.
Dog-slinging is the way Perry young
men have of showing that they have
been trained in the way they should
ffo.
“Mind how you fling your dogs!” is
now the heart-rending cry that echoes
through the wilds of Perry.
Two or three important communica
tions that came too late for insertion

very few votes cast. _

it, in New York City; bnt the most
elevated railway in the world is that
whi--h runs from Arequipa to Cusco, in
Peru. Its highest point is 15,096
feet, or abont three miles, above the
level of the sea. At this altitude the
air is only half as dense as at the sea
level, the average height of the barom

Another Agricultural Editor-
Mr. C. W. Fay, of Trenton, is after
Greeley’s Agr cultural laurels. Here
is a sample of what he knows about
farming:
The proper time to pull hemp is any
Friday that a good judge may select.
Castor oil beans succeed best in the
bowels of the earth. Tin y will so:-;:
work their way out.
The best preparation for hops is a
toad or two in each hill. They will
make the vines fairly jump.
The usual time to put in rye is eai-
ly in the morning. Some husband
men—especially in the city—continue,
to run it in at intervals of half an
hour until bed time. The practice is
only allowable in case of a dry sea
son.
In reaping wheat never take it by
the heard. Ifc is found to go against
the grain.
Buckwheat is not healthy food. It
is apt to cake upon the stomach.
Corn in the ear is apt to effect the
hearing. If eaten green it will make
the voice husky. When dealt ont as
army rations the kernel should always
lie served first, and then the men pri
vately.
Never plant your potatoes early. It
is the early potato that gets the first
worm. It is up hill work with them
after that.
To be certain of the right kind of
squashes compare them with your
bend. In adopting this rule I first
mistook pumpkins for squashes, but
by continued careful comparison,
soon learned to detect the difference.
Bnt for some new beginners it requires
great caution.
In making cider ont of apples I
teke it to be a prettyr tight squeeze,
notwithstanding my long connection
with the press. Never drink cider
made from crab apples. It is pretty-
certain to “go back on yon.”
SPECIAL NOTICES.
Gently Does it, without pain or irrita
tion, Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters relieve
the constipated bowels; at the same time so
thoroughly toning their inner membrane
and restoring their mechanical action, that
it seems as if they had been reorganized on
an improved plan. Yet the result is sole
ly due to nature, reinforced and sustained
by the best Vegetable Alterative and Tonic
that ever passed the lips of the side and
suffering.
A Fragrant Breath and Pearly Teeth
are easily attained, and those who fail to
avail themselves of the means, shonld not
complain when accused of gross neglect—
The Sozodont will speedily eradicate the
cause of foul breath, beautifying and pre
serving the teeth to oldest age.
Many House-keepers are not aware of
the deception practised in the manufacture
of Flavoring Extracts for culinary use.—
Many of them are deleterious and impure.
‘Barnett’s Standard Extracts” are made
irom the finest specimens of the fruits and
spices they represent, and are perfectly
pure.
To Owners op Horses.—No one who
has ever used Dr. Tobias’ Horse Vent tian
Liniment will ever be without it; it is a
certain cure for colic, sore throat, cuts,
bruises nnd old sores. Warranted superi
or to any other. In pint bottles at $1.00.
