New York, August loth, 1868 Allow me to call your attention to my Preparation Compound of Extract Buchu. The component parts are BUCHU LONG LEAF, CUBEBS, JUNIPER BERRIES. Mode of Preparation. —Buchu, in vacuo. Juniper Berries, by distillation, to form a fine gin. Cubebs extracted by displacement with spirits spirits obtained from Junip r Berries: very little sugar is use-1, and a small proportion of spirit. It is more palateable than any now in use. Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of a light eolor. It is a plant that emits its fragrance ; the action of a flame destroys this (its active principle,) leaving a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color of ingredients. The Buchu in my preparation predomi nates; the smallest quantity of the other ingredients are added, to prevent fermentation ; upon inspec tion, it will be found not to be a Tineture, as made in Pharmacopcea, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore can be used in cases where fever or inflammation ex ist.

JOHN BOLL’S «reat Remedies- SMITH'S TONIC STROP! FOR THE CURE OF AGUE AND FEVER OR CHILLS AND FEVER. The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer ed to the public for the safe, certain, speedy &nd per manent cure of Ague and Fever ,or Chilis and Fever whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in no case whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strict ly followed and carried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a curt, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a per fect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two af ter the disease lias been checked, more especially in difficult and long standing cases. Usually, this medi cine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order; should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after haring taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL’S VEGETA- i BLE FAM’LY PIuLS wifi be sufficient.

On the con trary they are uncertain in the extreme. My object in writing you Bto find out upon what terms lean igetthe medicine directly from yon. If I can get it ’upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it. lam aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of a great majority of the reg ular line of M.

For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering hum mity which I may be able to command—not hesitating because /some one more ingenious than myself may have learn d its effects first, and secured the sole right tc secure hat knowledge.

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the efficiency of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing and beneficial qualities it possesses, I send you the following state ment of my case: I was wounded about two years ago—was taken prisoner and confined for sixteen months. Being moved so often, my wounds have not healed yet. I have not sat up a moment since 1 was wounded! I am shot through the hips. My general health is im paired, and I need something to assist nature.

Fairs. “go, and take sallie ant> tommy and ALL-" The season of agricultural fairs has returned, and our rural population will join with the dwellers of towns and cities to celebrate the triumphs of labor. The farmers and farmers’ wives and daughters will bring of the excel lencies of their products to place along side the handiwork of the shop and factory, and theu all together rejoice in their own and each other's success. It will be a day to be looked forward to and back upon with a hope and relish that will compensate many an %our of toil and weariness. Os course you will go to the fair.— Let no little sneaking jealousy rob you of that pleasure and duty. Go to the fair, and you must take Sallie and Tommy and all the youngsters and grandmother. All will enjoy such a scene and have a nice family time of it. Be sure to dress in a plain and sub statial manner, prepared alike for a crowd, for dust or rain. This precau tion will put you at your ease while vis iting the fair. To the women in particular, I w r ould say, for pity’s sake don’t put on costly shawls, thin slippers, or very long skirts. The first will be a source of uneasiness to yourself while elbow r ing your way among men and rough fix tures, and the second endangers your health and comfort, and the third is a nuisance to all parties. Do not take any baggage that can be dispensed with. For a couple or three days you will hardly need a change of apparel, Let young and old attend the fair. The exhibition should be opened by prayer; all should join in hearty thanks and praise to Almighty God for the many blessings bestowed on us —good health, bountiful crops, and peace. — Let the officers of the fair but do their duty, and my word for it there will be good order. lam .the owner of fast horses, and in favor of speed and the encouragement of the turf, but op posed to betting at fairs. Agricultur al fairs should not be turned into race courses ; but for the assemblage of all—harmonizing all extremes ; it should be a time devoted to pleasure and thanksgiving, a jubilee of the la boring classes. For more than twelve years have the managers assembled the mambers to compare the products of their skill and toil> and it must be admitted that frcm such comparisons have resulted better cultivated fields, gardens and orchards, a> much supe rior grade of farm animals, and con sequently, homes more highly adorned and more comfortably enjoyed. Intelligent farmers cannot meet to gether and converse upon subjects connected w r ith their pursuits without giving or receiving information. They cannot see superior specimens of hors es, cattle or sheep without having the standard of excellence made more ex acting ; they cannot witness the suc cessful workings of agricultural ma chinery and not seek to lighten their labors and add to their rewards by its use : in fact, no fair minded man or sensible woman can attend tnese exhi bitions without returning home with a feeling that, however productive the farm, it still can be made to yield profitably, either in quantify or better quality ; and however pleasant the en joyment at home, yet that a slight outlay of time and means can add much to its charms and comforts. — The occupation of tilling the soil keeps man more isolated than any other of the leading avocations of labor that prevail in our community, and this very solitariness, because it Hinders the constant intercourse of mind,should be an argumen t for the cordial sup port of fairs and mechanics clubs. — Professional m£ii daily meet in syein y a ihy or in collision. The trader is in frequent communication with' his cus tomers, and the meeljjinic w orks with his men in the shop meeting, Many business men are convenient boards of trade and institutes. * sut most farm ers spend their lives seeing little from day to day but their own families and their hocks and herds. Occasions like attending fairs are calculated to draw them away from their homes for awhile and allow' inspection of articles brought from all parts of the country that would require days of time and many miles of travel otherwise to ex amine. The stout father of the family whose matched horses, whose well trained steers, cowspsheep and pigs have long filled his eyes as paragons of beauty, speed, strength, prolific yield* or fine fattening qualities, looks with critical disposition upon animals from other sections that challenges the admiratiou of impartial judges equally with his own; the frugal and industrious house wife carefully scans the cloth and flan nels, the carpets and quilts, the mit tens and blankets that equally indus trious mothers have presented for com petition. The blushiug miss examines the embroidered skirts and slippers and collars and undersleeves, the beau tiful specimens of wax and shell' work, landscape and-aninml paintings.. Pride, self-conceit are wounded at these aunual contests ; but every true man carefully studies the spectacle, and carries to his fireside and fields ample material for earnest thought and action. If his calf or colt no longer seems so perfect, it is because his standered of excellence has bceu elevated, and his struggles hereafter will be for qualities in his domestic an imals of another character than he. had before thought attainable. - The beneficial effects of our animal fairs are to be seen in all parts of tbe State w here fairs, are held, and to urge the consideration that what has al ready proved so advantageous should be seduously cultivated. Happy wall be the day for our com mon country when it shall be deemed necessary that the youths whose lives are to be devoted to the production of the food and the material by which we are fed and clothed, shall be as well educated in the principles of their busi ness as are those who are to execute our laws, to save our bodies from the ravages of disease, to minister to our souls longing after immortality, or to discharge any of those offices that contribute to the wants, comforts or noble qualification of a highly civilixed community. We have here the soil, the climate,, the position. We think ourselves too old to learn, but if those who are now at that age when the mind is most readily impressed are properly educated, we will have in a few years a population of country gentlemen who will cultivate their grounds with their own hands, and, like the knights of old, who 7*ere he roes in the field and gentle and cour teous in the castle, they will shine as intelligent men in any position, public or private, to which they may be called. L~ J. Bradford. sro. 20. Steam oil Common Roads. The practicibility of using steam an common roads appears, at l«3t to ifave been thoroughly tested in Scotland, where the success of Mr. It. W. Thom son’s Itoad Steamers, after trials, has earned for them the en dorsement of the most skeptical. A six-horse road steamer has been run ning for several months from Aber deen, a distance of four miles, over a wretched road, to the Ivittock Flour Mills. In many parts of the road the grade is one in eight, over which the steam engine draws ten tons with great ease, at the rate of three miles per hour. The engine performs four tirpsdaily, during which its entire con sumption of coal is but a quarter of a ton. Besides this, inauy interesting trials have been made with this engine the most extraordinary of which was with four huge wagons loaded with pig metal. The wagons and iron wieghed together, thirty-four tons.— Yet the engine drew these, without effort, a quarter of a mile, up an in cline varying from one in eighteen to one in twenty-four. Here is a result which is simply extraordinary. Given an engine which cost £SOO, or say $3,000, consumes seven tons of coal a month, say at a cost $-15, and which does the work of fifty horses, what is the saving in cost? Fifty horses at $175 would cost $8,750, and at <?10 per mouth would require SSOO per month for feed, In other WQiito U* QUuay ie thyee times as gfeat, and the cost of support more than ten times as, much as the road A k&ub -and boy attended the engine. Ten would be required for the horses. Thp t advantages in favor of the steam en gine are so very great That its intro duction into common use must be rap id. In engines of twenty-five tons horse power costing £I,OOO apd tow-, ing three times as heavy hx the, saving is much greater in proportion* These road steamers are also, fitted with india rubber tires, the duribility of which surpasses all expectation.— ’ After several months’ use no wear
