Where weevils are troublesome, stow away corn in tho shuck.

Winter oa's may yet ha sown during the early part of this mouth, ud! we would again press this crop upon the attention of i ur readers. The preparation of the suit, for, and in some localities sowing of wheat will engage attention this month. There is probably ns point, in agricul ture more thoroughly cstall shed, than that it docs not “pay” to sow wheat on poor or badly prepared land.

The following exciting desciiptioa tl an cnounter with a black tig- r is from an article upon Lake Nigaragua in the Temple Bar, aa English magazine ; One night, after I had been six months oa the island, I was seated by the fire, waiting for the plantains that were boiling in a pot. Juachin was not in the hut, aud 1 was expecting him home to supper. Suddenly i heard his shout outside, and the next instant he dashed into the hut, banged the door to, ar.d threw the heavy bar scross it. Just as ho Gxid it, and, panting, leaned his shoulder against the stoat wood as an additional support, a shock so heavy that the whole hut quivered, made the door bend. Au. ( other followed—then til was still. I sprung up at the first sight of Joa chin, but the 6cene passed so quickly 1 that no word had been spoken as yet.— i But when after the second b-ow ou the door, the attempt seemed to be abandoned on that side, I took the native by the shoulder and shook him, for he seemed wild with fear. “Hullo, man !’ I said, ‘what is this ?’ Mis appearance was ghastly. The old Guatemala jacket ho wore,his leath er breeches, even his boots of alligator hide, were ripped aud cut by the thorns of the scaeias. llis face streamed with blood from many deep scratches, and perspiration drenched his long, ragged hair. ‘A black tiger,’ be whispered; ‘it ha chased me across the savannah, for my horse was tired out. It is after me. O, listen !’ Then, in the tilcocc, when we held our breath, and Joachin strained my hand backward and forwards, 1 heard the bard snoring of a tiger just outside t|,o dot r. N<> d< not ifit 1 Tin bent had sintled Juacbin out, anti let the horse go free. Wbilo we listened, the direction if the sound moved about, n w up aud dnwt', accompanied by taps agiiust the door, ns if tho at imal was resting hi paws against it, a, he reared himse.l on his hiud legs. At length wo heard tho sound of scratching, and I drew my rnacl ote.— In a few ruinntes a black p.iw, armed with with luiihle irooked claws, was se en wotking in our side of the door. J gave a downright cut which nearly sev ered it, and the animal, roaiiup savugo ly. threw him-elf against the wioi again and again, in rage. Then another pau-e followed. 5 cry snoti a noise upon the roof shown!, as we bad expected that the enemy was directing Lis attack in that direction, and I got my ild gun ready. As soon as I saw tie animal's fur I fired, and wound ed him, no drubt, fi rha rolled from the roof, and we heard him fall heavily Again and rgain lie returned to the attempt, aud every time I caught n glimpse if his black anil shitting akin I tired. His roaring was terrible to bear , and Joaahio, who n;vcr had courage tuspare sat on the II ior in » corner, striving to close Lis cars to to sound. All night the stregjlo lasted at in tervale, and every crack of the bu s was tri dby this untiring fie. lie da bed upon the door, he bounded upon the roof, ser .tching the thatch away, bu‘ ever di.-turbed by my fire; he tried the wails and fl .or again and again. I was an awful night, that’s the fact ; and I for my part, did not recover from the nervoiiH straiu for mouths. With the dawn the tiger's efforts be came fainter, and at length ceased When the sun rose 1 took my gun and sallied cut to meet the creature in fail light. 1 followed his trail fur a mile more easily guided by the clots of Ifiacti stainiug the grass and rocks. lie was Wounded to the death, I plain!; saw.— And at l ist 1 found him dead bu.-ide :he body of Jo .chin’s horse, which he must have destroyed in the very !a.-t ef fort of his rtigcpd’.i gin the act.

Almost Every Case Cured With PAIN KILLEIJ. Read the following letter from Rev. R. Tel lotd, Missionary to Chi a, now visiting his home iu Pennsylvania : Washington, Pit , June 25, 1866. Messrs. Pen t Davis & Son, Providence, R. X.—Dear Si»s : During a residence of some ten years as a missionary in Siam and Chioa, I found tour Vegetable Pain Killer a moat valuable remedy for that feaiful scoutge the cholera. In administering the medicine, 1 found it most tif-clual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water sweet- ! eued with sugar; hen aft**r about fitteen ' minutes, begin to give a tablespoonful of the “ante mixture every minute until relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to the rj trcm.ties. Bathe the stomach with Ptin Kil ler, clear, and rub the limbs briskly. O' those who had the cholera and took the medicine I faithfully in the wav S'ated above, fight out ot ten recovered. Truly yours, R. TilfoßP. In an attack with Diarrhoea, Dyseutery, or Cramp Cholic, don't delay the use of the Pain Killer. Sold by all n.edicinj dealers. Pi ice 25 cents, 50 cents and $1 per bottle. Switow, China, Sept. 22, 1865. Messrs. Perry Davis k Sou : Degr Hus—l ought to have acknowledged long ago the box of Pain Killer you had the goodness to semi us last year. Its coming was most prov idenlitl. I believe hundreds of lives were saved, under God, by it. The cholera ap peared here soon after we received it. VVe resorted at once to the “Pain Killer,” using as directed for cholera. A list was kept of all to w hum the “-Pain Killer" was given, and our native assistants assures us that eight out of every ten ti whom it was prestribed re ' covered. It has, to*', been very uselul in va ' I ions other diseases. It has proved an incal | culable blessing to multitudes of poor people ; tbtuoghout ali this region. Our native pieae’n . era ate never williug to go out on their ex cm -ions without a supply of the “Pain Kill er.” It gives them lavor in the eyes ol the ' people, and access to families and localities ! by whom otherwise they would be indiff'-r --tntly received.
