The largest stock of Millineiy Goods and Shawls ever before seen in Catskin have just been opened at B ottqhton & D oty â s , 60 Main St. Ladies wishing to purchase should not fall to examine these goods, as they are offered at extraordinary low rates. J>nj Goods a t l A v i n g P r ices, HttMFHEEY & S mite claim to run their store witli the least expense of any in Catsldllin pro portion to the amount of goods sold. This being the case, they are willing to give their customers the benefit of it, which they will no doubt take advantage of, as heretofore. Gicess He teas XtigltU A clergyman in a recent sermon quoted an anecdote of an old merchant who instructed his clerks: âWhen a man comes into the store and talks ofhis honesty, watehhim; ifhe talks of his wealth, donât try to sell him anything; it he talks of his religion, donât trust him a dollar.

Prof. GtTNNiNOâs course of Dlnstrated Lee- nres win commence on Monday evening next, at Mcechâs HaH. The introdnetory lecture will be free. The Hall sbonid be crowded with onr best citizens. Catskill, as everybody knows, is on the most interesting geologic ground. The lectures cannot fail to be deeply interest- ng. One of the most distinguished clergymen of Brooklyn writes to the Times of Prof. Gun ningâs lectures: â* * In the purest language, without man- nsenpty often most eloquently be discourses on. his great themes, and with paintings, black board, and brlUiant experiments, he gives to the eye most valuable results of scientific re^ search.â F P V C A T I O N A T ,. ---- A new brick sehool-bonso is to be built in District No. 3, Coxsackie Village. It is to be COxSO f t , with celling 13 feet high, and separate rooms for girls and boys. ° ' FIFTH ANSir.lL F.lIIt. The Fifth Annual Fair of the Catskill -Agri- cnltural and Horticnltiu'al Association opened, on 'Wednesday, 20th Inst, under favorable auspices. Tbe weatliJa: was all that could be desired. In anticipation of the occasion, the grounds had been put in perfect order; the track was In fine condition. Exhibition Hall was tastefully decorated with evergreens and flowers, and tbe national emblem floated from the flag-staff, at the top of which the Eagle ex tended his wings and took a birdâs eye view of the animated scene. EXHIBITION HALLâELOWEE STAND. There was the nsua^ fine display of choice flowers, especially verbenas and dahlias; with some orchids, and a fine collection of hanging baskets. The floral display is contributed mostly from the gardens of Messrs. C o l e , B beasted , J ones , S a l isb u b t , apd a few oth ers. The ladies appear to admire the plants, as there are some new varieties on exhibition. Some elegant hanging baskets, containing rare vines and exotics, have heen contributed from the Koohestcr greenhouses. PBUir TABLE. The exhibition of Fruits is the fuUest and most complete of any department, and bears witness to tbe growth of that branch with our farmers and land owners. The amount of money brought into our County in returns for fruit is increasing yearly, and the assortment of varieties cultivated is much larger, and com prises more valuable soi'ts than were known here a few yeai-s ago. At the front of the line of fruit tables is a magnificent display of eighty different varieties of Pears, from E llw ang e r & B abry â s Nursery, Eocbestcr. In this coUee- tion are some new and promising sortsânever before introducedâwhich interest fruit grow ers. At the recent Richmond (Va.) Fair, this firm exhibited 350 different kinds of Pears! It may be added, however, that there are not over twenty varieties that combine all the valu able requisites of flrst-class fmit for family and market use. Of these select few, comprising the Duchess dâAngoulome, Beurre Bose, Bart lett, Bcurre dâAnjou, Laurence, Beurre Clair- gean. Swanâs Orange, Vicar of Winkfleld, BeurreDiel, Sheldon, Howell, Bonne de Jersey, See&el, &c., Âťfee, onr resident fruit growers show specimens that compare favorably with the Nursery fruit: Messrs. T. A. C ole , P. â WniTTAKEB, J acob B . G o e t c h in s , A lebed F oote , B. L..B eam , J ohn B. F oote , I saio P bhyn , and others. Veiy few apples were shown; and of grapes hut a few varieties, only the earlier sorts being yet fuUy ripe. Messrs. C ole , P ruyn , and B eam contribute beautiful dusters of Concord, Diana, Iona, andlsraella. We noticed some specimens of K ea â s Mammoth Quince as largo as âIndian Clubs.â There are no plums on exhibition, as tbe season has been unfavorable. M a b t t n G. V a n S l t c k , of Coxsackie, exhib its thirty-three choice varieties of pears, of the yarieties above ennmerated and othersâthe most creditable display made by any of our County fruit-growers. Mr. Van Slyck has afforded us ample opportunity to sample tbe Quality of this fruit, which we pronounce firat- dass. A c e e b & Co., Commission Frait Deal ers, 149 \West Street, N. T., with their usual tbongbtfulness and courtesy, give onr citizens -a sight at a fine specimen lot of the celebrated Pears of California. These attract great atten tion, from their size and beauty. v e g e t a b l e s . The display of vegetables, and farm and gar den products, would delight the soul of Ho- BACE G beelex , *âor any otherâ eminent vege tarian. A better line of thoroughbred Leghorn, Cream-ebeese and California Squashes we never saw, nor a finer assortment of fat Puropldns; the big Beets fairly blush at their overgrown condition; while there are Cabbagesâwhich have miraculously escaped the âwormâ and âbugâ of the periodâthat would make more âkrautâ in a week than old N ix c h - wabouse himself could eat in a month. 'We saw several Tomips so big that one canât tell what'll turn up next, and Parenips and IVatermelons that we should hate to have fall on us; and big Egg Plants that would do credit to the hatchway of a ship. The specimens of Grain, Feed and Flour were flrst-class; and M u r p h y himself, âthe author and inventor of the Irish potato,â could not bnt be delighted with the baskets of Early Rose, Mohawks, and Chilis. Some spe cimens of Nansemond Sweet Potatoes show that they can be grown here as well as farther South. The general average of the Vegetables shown speaks well for the fertility of our soil; bnt there sbonid be more competition encour aged in this department. MISCELLANEOUS. Among the fancy articles we noticed a fine array of maps, drawn by our yotmg friends of the Union School. Having traveled in most of them we recognized the several States ivithout difficulty. A map is a difficult thing to sketch, as every body will find who tries to draw one; and these specimens by Misses C a r r ie TV hite , C a b b ie S w aetw o ut , J e n n ie \W il s e t , C a e b ie D elam abteb , and Mastera H alcott , B e n  n e t t , O lnby , and others, refleqt credit on pupils and teachers. A. J. M a r t in displays some new stoves, in cluding base-burners, and one big cook-stove with a Mansard roof and a rear elevation con taining two tanksâthe whole big enough to accommodate city boarders during the Summer months. ââ˘TrnthfnlJAMESâ TV allace has a case containing specimens of his' handiwork. B eoivere and M ott & G aylord exhibit flue goods, in the boot and shoe line. The show of canned fruits is as large and fine as nsnal; and the same may he said of the bread and cake display. There were numerous rolls of rag carpets, of the usual unique and lively patterns; over which the judges will puzzle their heads as to respective merits. â J. F iero , Jr., and H umphrey & S mith ex- Mbit Dry Goods. A fine lot of cheese was exhibited by some of our County creameries. A case of geological specimens is contributed, compil^lng fragments of the different strata which comprise the **cmstâ of the earth; in cluding conglomerate and argUlitic rock, Helderberg lime stone and Schoharie grit of the old red sandstone of the Devonian age; Muschelkalk and Bunter sandstein of the Con necticut River sandstone (Reptilian age,) car boniferous formations, iron pyrites, and lots of other quantities unlinown to deponent. .One party on. the ground had a private geological specimen in the shape of bri<k in his hat, but the competition in this branch was heavy. TJ1A.CIIINERT. At the head of this department we must men tion the little boiler and steam engine made by WrLX. P ennoyer , of tbia Village, a lad of seventeen. The boiler is an upright tubular, 6)-^ in high and about 8 in. diameter; the engine a horizontal stationary, completeâ slide valves, eccentrics, fly-wheel, force pump, cranks, steam pipes, &c., &c. The engine has a stroke of three-foiuths on an inchâand hardly attains the dignity of horse-power; rather, say, colt power. The machlue reflects great credit on Master Pennoycrâs engineering predilections, and was submitted to the Navy Department, last week, in the coui'se of his examination for the Engineerâs Class at the Annapolis Academy. W ood â s Mowing Machine is exhibited by WiLLiAir H. M agilton , agât., and C arhart â s Two-Horse Cultivator by R ttshmore , agât. A number of feed-cutters are also shown. LADIES* DEPARTMENT. The Ladies* Department never contained finer specimens of taste and skill in plain and fine serving, crochet and worsted. Owing to the manner of ticketing now in practice tho<* ownership of the different articles is no longer public property. One fine specimen of worsted work, containing a deerâs head, was much ad mired; as, also, was a splendid Affghan near it. The embroidery sho-ivn was very nice, in- clndlng fiizzies, furbelows, fag-ends and fix ingsâwith the names of which we are not familiar. The fnU details of this assortment will appear in the award of premiums in our next. THE GROUNDS. 'Ihe booths along the line of the seats are aU oeenpied, and eloquent orators invite the crowd to walk up and be ârefreshedâ for ridlciilonsly low prices. The whip man is on hand, with a stock of aU sorts of gads; and eke the little ârotaryâ table where, for ten cents or so a chance, the public may draw gold jewelry many âcarrotsâ fine, (and may not.) Candy stands abound; and one âsteamâ bakery runs altogether on tbe popular and festive Abyssin ian frnit or Japanese Clustersâotherwise known as the pea-nut. By far the finest tent show ever on the Grounds is the Antomatic 'Wonderâthe finest and most complete piece of mechanism ever completed by man. It is the result of many yearsâ vmrk by J oseph B ebgmann , of Troy, and is valued at many thousands of dollars. It is a complete little landscape with saw and grist mills at work, wagons coming and un loading, boats saUiiig, wheels turning, andâ two citizens qnarreUng over steam fire engines âaU **as natural as life.â POULTRY.\ In the ponltry department are some fine grade fowls, Bantams, Dominiques, etc. Sev eral lots of extra large SpringcMokens (Spring of 1871) are shown. E. G. S tudlet , of Clav- erack, Columbia Co., shows coops of hens of the following âbrandsââ'White Dorkings,Hon- dan. Gray Dorkings, Partridge Coehins.'White Leghorn, Buff Cochins, Red Game and Sebright Bantams, Bearded 'White Poland and 'White Cochins; also, Aylesbury Dneks and Bronze Turkeys. THE HORSE DEPARTMENT, Although not largely filled, made a respect able display. Among the 2 yr. olds, E d w in E l l io t t , of Durham, exhibited a splendid Bay Colt, (by Hedges Hambletonian); I ra F in c h , Sandy Plains, a good black Colt; I ra S mith , Cairo, a good grey, by âthe R ider horse E. C. D ickinson , Hiskatom, a fine white colt, by JDr. Parmcke, he by HamlMonian, W m . M artin , Catskill, exhibits a good 2 yr. old black colt, over 16 hands high, and well- proportioned. E. K. B radbury , Coxscaekie, showed two excellent four-year-olds, by Tom SuffoVc, E.C. Dickinsonâs yearling colt Is a good one. R ob  ert F. S tort , of Catskill, exhibited a very flue American Star Mare, with sucking colt by George Wilkes. J ames S terrett , Catskill, also exhibited mare with sucking colt by âthe Eider horseââone of the best of his get that .we have ever seen. There were several others shown, but as they were removed from the grounds before our ar rival, we are unable to make special mention. We were greatly disappointed in not seeing on exhibition the score, or more, of well-hred Colts owned in this town. We infer,however, that tlielr ahsenoe is to be accounted for by the fact that âblood is not consideredâ by the judges. This is not as it sbonid be. cattle , sheep and swine . The exhibition of Working Cattle was very meagre ; H iram S tewart â s 4-yr. olds were the best we saw. But one town, Catskill, contend, cd for the Town Team premium, 5 yokesâ D ennis M. S tewart â s red 2 yr. old Steers are very good. IS aao P ruyn and D ennis M. S tewart each exhibited a superior yearling Heiferâboth as good grades as we have ever seen. H arvey B bown ' â s large Cow attracted at tention. The show of Sheep is good, both in quantity and quality. Of Swine bnt few are on exhl- bitionâleastwise inside the pens. SECOND DAT. Thursday was simply one of the pleasantest days in this year's almanacâsunny and genial. The masses began to pour in at an early hour, and the crowds increased steadily up to 3 p . m . The Grand Cavalcade moved into the grounds, at 11 A. M., under thelead of Col. J. H. M eech , Grand Marshal. It was the biggest demonstra tion of the kind on record here, and was made up as follows: Marshal and Assistant Marshals. I. Five ox teams di'awing a vehicle contain ing the CatskUl Comet Baud, âv/rapped in the American Flag.â 3.

C has . H. W infield , of Orange County, and was of a very interesting and satis factory character. The Purse for County Horses was contended for by the following entries (except the latter, which was drawn): J no . PnjLEY enters g. s. âTom Suffolk.â E.K.BnAx>BUBY â br. g. âCapt. Ike.â S.

As Tilton has one wife already, and Victoria has two hnsbands, as far as returns are in, it is perhaps safe to say they â wiH many on the European plah. We tviah them muchjawy. ----- D. H. M ahan , L .L . D ., for tbe past forty years a leading professor at the West Point Military Academy, committed suicide, on Saturday last, by jumping overboard from the steamboat Mary Powell, off Veiplanokâs Point. Prof. M. was over 70 years of age, and had recently heen put bn the retired listâan ar- rangement which greatiy angered him, and seems to have finally unsettled Ms mind. Ho was one of the ablest authors and instructors in the Art of War, and bis fame as such is world wide. ___ D rank J. S ilsbt , of tbe Steam FkcfEngine Manfg. Co., of Seneca Falls, whose accidental death, on the 11th Inst., we noticed last week, was the junior partner of the Com pany. He was at Canandaigua, with apie-nic party, and while at the station wailing for their train, noticed on a platform car on the switch one of their Steamers on its way West. He stepped down to look at it, and while in the act of jumping on the car the freight train started tip suddenly, and ho fell on the track between the carsâseveral of which passed over him. His remains were taken home the same evening. The funeral, on the following day, was attended by an immense eonooui\se.

He will regard this, when it occurs, as a greater misfortune to himself and his journal than it can be to any person whom it has involuntarily misrepresented, for he will at once make full reparation to any such person, but he can do this only by acknowledg ing that ho has himself heen wronged in a way which admits of no reparation -whatever. When a journal Is seen to have kept good faith with the public, to bo free from malico, and to have exercised all reasonable care to avoid error, there is no plausible pretext for a libel salt. A mistake made under sneh eireumstau- ccs should be regarded bnt as an accident. F a i r yreefe trt Cairo. ___ An A g ricultural Eestival -will b e held at J. W.

I t -will be remembered th a t OâB rien â s Circus was here, in April last, and that among the performers was âThe Man of the Iron Jawâ and Iris wife the âStrong Wo man.â This proeions pair had a little boy with them, whose daty it is to be thrown about by the Iron Jaw Man in various ways, every one of which is dangerous in the extreme. This boy was an âadoptedâ son, of eonree. It was desirable that he should not get too heavy, hence his food supply was cut short. Finally, when the ebeus was at Stormville, Dutchess Co., on Thursday of last week, the boy died suddenly jnst after receiving a violent boating for eating a crust of bread given by the cook. The doctors who were called gave it as their opinion that he died of starvation. The same parties were arrested, at Philadelphia, for brntality to the same boy, but escaped punish ment. No attempt was made to arrestâ them, at Stormvillo, and they are now doubtless look ing for another boy.

That advice would be worth heeding outside of Bishop G lare â s dio cese. . . . .Verdancy flourishes in the eccle siastical breast as weU as in the system of the persistent sinner, else why would the Gadsden (Ala.) Times have this story to teU: Some time since a Northern Vermont clergy man visited New York, and was invited to fiU a city pulpit. He know nothing about quar tette choirs, and had never , heard a church organ. After the first hymn showed him what the organ prelude was, he announced the second as foUows: âThe audience wiU now join with me in singing a good old Methodist hymn, and those feUows running that bag of wind in the gaUery wiU please not interrupt.â . . . .

The collection for tho Sunday school last Sunday amounted to ^gh- teen dollars. Had I been better acquainted with you I would have omitted the collection, and would have ashed ihe Sunday school to take one up for ihe church V* After that he got money when ho asked for it. . . . .N o thing wiU so surely tend to break down the narrow-minded exclusiveness which often separates Christians of different names as cordial co-operation in some plan of Christian work. At the late anniversary of the British and Foreign Bible Society, Bishop E llicott appeared for the first time. He frankly stated that he had doubted tho pro priety of co-operation with those that were not of his communion. Ho however had been ap pointed a member of the body for tbe revision of the Scriptures, and in meeting in the Bible Society House he had hy the teaching of experienceâthe best of teachersâseen that G od â s 'Word is indeed a blessed bond of unity. . . . . â B ueleigh â writes to tbe Boston Journal': We hid fair to have as many trans lations of the Bible as we have different compi lations of hymns.

Indubitably, though I preambnlate the glen of the sepulchral donuitories, I shall not be perturbed by appalling catastrophes; thy crook and thy wand insinuate deleoation.

After aU tha^as heen said and written about tbe CatskiU Mountains, it is strange that we have no autbentio and reliable history of Black Head. The writer has done little throughout the Summer but to watch this Mountain King, and study his character and histoiy. - The only merit claimed for this narrative is its entire truthfulness. Black Head is very, very oldâho was bom about tho time when âthe earth was without form and void, and darkness covered the face of the deepââand he listened iTlth de light when âthe morning stars sang together, and the sons of God shouted for joy.â At the expulsion from Eden, Ms head was looming heavenward, as it is to-day, and now his very crown is studded Tvith marine shells which were deposited there by the waters of the del uge. Black Head was fully three thousand years old before he saw a human being. Daring .all these years, he looked doivn upon raccoons, hears and wild-eats, and was very lonesome.â Some four hundred and thirty years after the âlost tribesâ crossed over Behringâs Straits,and when their descendants had scattered them selves over these parts, Black Head waked up one pleasant morning and found a regular In dian pow-wow going on, down in Big HoUow. About a hundred and sixty delegates from the Six Nations had assembled to celebrate the discovery of Gilboa. From this day Black Head despised the native Americans in his heart. He saw the first white n ^ i n a . d . 1494. Two Portugese sailors had debited from the vessel of C olumbus , in tbe harbor of Havana, while the Admiral was ashore after a box of cigars. They senUed over to Key 'West, struck Northward, and found refuge in Hunter, near the tannery of the late Col. E dw ards , and on the exact site of A aron R oggen â s boarding house. They lived sumptuously by peeling bark and trapping bears. They laid out the foundation of the CatskiU Mountain House,and began tlie dam at the Fallsâhut visitors were so few that they threw np these enterprises. In the Spring of 1621, Black Head was visited by J o h n E n d ico t t , one of the âpUgrim fathers.â Mr. Endicott made him moderator of a free- soil club, and collector of a cold water society. TMs was the beginning of trouble. Black Head had been kind and indulgent to his hoys, allowing them all innocent amusements, and they were always orderly, indnstrious and well- bchaved. They were accustomed to an occa sional hand of whist and euchre, a swallow of rectified cider, and the weekly perusal of the Catskill Becorder. Black Head stopped all thisâburned the cardsâlooked the cellarâand kept the boys studying the Advocate o f Moral Reform,. The upshot was, they ran off to HensonvUle,and spent their nights andSnndays in drinking and gambling. Matters went on from bad to worseâthe father waxed strict and harshâthe sons grew wild and wickedâ^the spirit of peace had flown from the household of Black Head forever. His boys are only pain and grief to him. Round Top, the first-born, ran away in a fit of anger, and set np for himself. The result was, he failed, paid thirteen cents on the dollar,and is now doing a one-horse bnsiness in -the old manâs name. âBear Barrachâ next flew into fury about something, and started off after his brother. Somewhere between S t e v e 'W e b  ster ' s and Uncle J im C ochban â s , he stopped because he could not cross theKiskatom Creek. The little stream ripples at his feet, murmuring and mocking his lack of energy and decision. âBald Hillâ has lured out to a neighbor, is shiftless and ââunstable as waterâ*âandof little good to any one. Acra Point remains at home, but he drinks, swears and gambles. La Madre, the poor wife, is heart-broken and deâsolateâ but She keeps a cheerful face before the world; and hears up as a biave and true woman only can. Black Head says that his boys never took âto evil ways until after the influx of Summer boarders. He is misiufoi-med. In October, 1840, many years before the first âboarderâ struck foot lYest of Jefferson Flats, the wiiter saw all four boys as drunk as pipers. They were at home visiting and gathering chestnuts. Black Head, -who was bursting for the election of H arrison and T y l e r , forgot Ms cold-water matters, and sent the boys doivn to Uncle M ose O lm s t e a d â s with two barrels of hard cider, wMch he had promised to fnmish a log-cahiu in operation there. They reached the ground late in the afternoon, with two empty barrels, the boys all huddled in the bottom of the cart, striving ludicrously to sing a plaintive little ballad, of which I remember only a line of the chornsâ âV an , T an , I s a used-np m a n !â After Mr. Endioottâs visit, Black Head denied his boys all amnsements at home, and drove them into 'devious and forbidden ways else where. While he treated them with kindly in dulgence, and allowed them innocent amuse ments at home, they were obedient,orderly and manly fellows, and attended the East Kill Academy five days in every week. Of late years they pass their nights and Sundays iu taverns and out-houses, pitching pennies and playing âHigh, Low, Jackâââwhile the hopes of the Father of Mountains and poor La Madre are lost in sorrow and disappointment. Mrs. Black Head is of Spanish descent; her full name is La Madre de las Montanas. And now, as I look ont upon Black Head, aU grim and hoary, while Round Top, Bear Bergh,Bald Hill and Acra Point are lying around in idle ness and dissipation, poor-La Madre stands at her husbandâs side, her eyes raised lovingly to his, the very embodiment of hopefulness and trust. Through all these chances and changes Black Head has treated his wife with uniform kindness, and now, as Ms browâfaces the morn ing sun. La Madre leans lovingly upon Ms \shoulder all fresh andgreeuinperpetual youth, and notwithstandidg her stormy spouse and their wayward offspring, she is a faithful, de voted wue, and a hopeful mother. In conclu sion, Black Head is very like other folks ; in the clear snnsMno he is cheerful and pleasant âwhen the clouds gather he is fretful and im patientâas they grow tMck and dark he raves and storms like mad. I have seen him âcarry ing onâ this Summer, as no mountain could that was not drunk or crazy. He groans under the burden of years, despondency and gloom. In my heart I pity Mm. Last evening as I hade Mm good night he was mutteringâ <*Hiere is no creature Icves me. __ And should I die, no soul will p ity me.â lie had forgotten poor La Madre. whose cheeks glowed with tears at the sad words,and who, heart-broken and desolate, Icept a cheer- fnl face before the world, and bore up as brave and true women only can. Whether school teachers, in the olden time, delighted to nse the birch more than now, or whether hoys needed it more then, I cannot say. In my school days I was floggedâenough to serve a regiment of modern boys. Daring Summer, under female sway, we got on very well, but when frost and snow brought the Winter tyrants, their advent was tho s'^nal of wrath and punishment. One teacher flogged me constantiy, because he enjoyed i t ; another did so to please a pretty miss of sixtcen,whose ni-wffl I had gained, as usual. In the Fall of â 1865, in the tent at the Greene County Fair, among the fancy work, was a pair of slippers, beautifully wrpught upon black cloth, with drah silk. Upon enquiry I learned that it was the work of Miss L ouisa P ro u t . â What a flood of early memories the name re called. Miss Front taught a primary seliool ia Cairo for weU nigh or quite fifty years. There are few horn hereabout who have not attended Miss -Prontâs school. More than forty years ago, a young man invited Miss Front to visit the âPine Orchard,â (there was no Mountain Hohse then,) on the 3d of .July. As this was a day lost, Miss Front gave out that sho should teach on the 4th. This angereithe boys great ly. On the m ining of the 4th, school was opened as nsuaL Sliss Prout was very sleepy, and otherwise was greatly deranged. 'Whtie asleep in her chair, leaning against the desk. J im J ones ignited a flre-oraeker, and threw it directly under her chair. His success was com plete. Jim Jones was a bad boy; if be makes a good man, I never heard it. 'While on a visit to Cairo, in 1866, a messenger desired mo to call at Miss Frontâs room. The place wore a deserted look, the benches were ricketty and time-worn, the mistress was emaciated and' worn with age, disease and care. The poor woman had sent for me to present a pair of slippers, the exact counterpart of those I had so much admired. I slipped a greasy green back into her thin hand, all that could be spared from a meagre purse, and hade her fareweE. It was my last interview with Miss Prout here. God grant the next may be under happier au spices. It must interest the reader to know that this is written in the afternoon of Sept. 8th, 1871, and that at tMs vci-y hour, five and twenty years ago, the writer was putting on Ms wed ding garments. Tuesday, Sept. 8th, 1846, was a close, sultry day. At sunset a welcome shower refreshed earth, air and sky, and nsh ered in a delightful evening. I remember a group of happy faces, many of wMoh have passed away forever; some are grown grave and serious, and some are very, very sad. Of two prominent actors in this scene let 'me say a few words. The occasion must pardon them. One, who had heen nurtured tenderly and del icately, was about to step from a garden of ease into a desert of thorns, toil and care. The arm on which she then, leaned now clings to her for support. TMs aid and sympathy nave never failed. Through all these weary years âshe hath done what sho could.â How many of us may claim this eulogy? The officiating clergyman was a man of unusual cultivation, refinement and delicacy. He was employed by the proprietor of a cotton-mill for mission work among the operatives, who were mostly coarse and unlettered, feeling little sympathy with their young rector. - His poor wife had little society but the sick and suffering among whom she ministered, and his-little ones no compan ions beyond their own roof. Once I saw his look of wounded feeling, as the matter-of-faet mill owner doled ont his quarterly pittai much 83 a modern Shoddy k m s^ould give a ernst to a hungry beggar. In Octobei\ 1855,1 was -visiting one of the beautiful cemeteries â which adorn the vicinity of New York city; at tho entrance I gave the fee to the gate-keeper. He was \the clei\gyman who officiated at my marriage, mne years before! He was wan and emaciated, his'breathing labored and short, and a hectio ring glowed upon either cheek. He had âconsumption;â the Irish laborer who was cleaning the gravel walk told me so. This unhappy world of ours is full of it. When the first December gales swept through the naked branches, bis remains had found their home in that beautiful resting-place. â âEarth to earth, dost to dnst, ashes to ashes.â He was an ac complished reader. I recall how J en n y L in d sang âI Know that my Eedeemeth Llveth,â and my heart stands still, as in a trance; and so the very soul of this devoted man seemed pour ing out, as he implored Divine guidance and protection, âIn all time of our tribulation, in all time of onr prosperity, in the hour of death, and in the day of judgment.â â0 Father of mercies and God of all comfort,â his tears are gathered info Thy botUe, whose merciful hand upholds the weary and the fainting soul, âthe fatherless cMlilron and widows, and aU who are desolate and oppressed.â l . h . v jikt!

Hair has advanced 25 per cent, in market value, and is likely to go up 35 per cent. more. ___ A Eondoiit fashion w riter has issned his bulletin for the present month: One of the prettiest fashions is the sailor jacket, that looks best when worn by young girls of 35 and upwards. The hair should be allowed to hang down the hack in a mass like flayed flax; but for those who wear that wMch is retailed a t the stores the old style of a-la- Heathen Chinee still remains in rogue, and in either style the extreme end shoiud be tied with a shoestring or a piece of tape. Sleeves are worn wide and flowing, though it is some what inconsiderate for those who must display a needless amount of osseous surface to adhere strictly to this fashion. Bustles are the rage now, and must be worn large, though a two weeksâ aceumnlation of daily papers would no doubt form one of sufficient dimensions to sat isfy the most fastidious. ....

The wife of ihe Russian Minister (a beautiful and accomplished lady) is being ignored by some of the â official wives,â on the pretense that she was a divorced lady before she became Mrs. C atacazy . Out of this domestic breeze came the personal dif ficulty between Secretary F ish and the Russian Ministerâof some months agoâand G rant requested of the Emperor his recall. It now appears that the Grand Duke A l e x is , of Rus sia, (who is on his way to this country,) will accept the hospitality of M.

CONSUrtXPTIONâ I t s C n re a n d its P r e v e n  tiv e â B y J . H . S c h c u c k , m . I f . Many a human being has passed away for whoso death there was no other reason than the neglect of known and indisputably proven means of cure. Those n e ar and Uear to family tmcLftrienas aro sleox>- ing the dreamless slumber into which, had they calmly adopted 2>r. JOSEPH H . SCHENCK*S Simple Treatment, and availed themselves of h |s wonderfully efficacious medicines, they would n o t have fallen. Dr. Schenck has in h is o'tm case proved that wher ever sufficient vitality remains, that -vitality, b y h is medicines and his directions for their use, is quick ened into healthful â vigor. In this statement there is nothing presumptuous. Its pliilosophy requires no argument. I t is self- assâuring, self-con'vincing. The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills ore the first two weapons with which the citadel o f the mal- dered liver, , âsympathizeâ -with tbe stomach. They respond to the morbific action of the liver. Here then comes the culminating result, and ttio setting in, â˘with all its distressing symptoms, of coNsimPTioir. The Mandrake Pills are composed of ono of Na tureâs noblest giftsâthe Podophillum Peltatum. They possess all the blood-searching, alterative prop erties, of calomel, but, unlike calomel, they **Leave no Sting Behind^* The work of cure is now beginning. The vitiated and mucous deposits i n tb,e bowels and in the ali- â mentary canal are ejected. The liver, like a dock, is wo^und up. I t arouses from its torpidity. Tho stomach acts responsively, and the patient liegins to feel -that he is getting, a t last, A Supply o f Good Blood, Tho Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction -with the Pills, permeates and assimilates -with the food. Chylifica- tion is now progressing -without its previous tor tures. Digestion becomes painless, and the cure is seen to be a t hand.â Thereisnom o ro flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach. An appetite sets in. Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever yet given by gji indulgent Father to suffering man. Sohenckâs Pulmonic Syrup comes in to perform its functions a n d to hasten and complete the cure. I t enters at once upon its work. Nature cannot be cheated. I t collects and ripens the impaired and diseased portions of the lungs. In the form of gath erings, i t prepares them for expectoration, and lo ! Given Up as Lost, The second thing is, the patients m-ost stay in a warm room â until they get â˘well; it is almost impos sible to prevent taking cold when tho lungs are dis eased, b u t it m u st be prevented or a cure cannot bo effected. Fresh air and riding out, eepeciaily in this section of the coxmtry, in the Fall and Winter season are all -wTong. Physicians who recommend that course lose their patients, if their lungs are badly diseased. And yet because they are in tho house they m ust n o t sit do'wn q u iet; they m ust walk about the room as much and a s fast as the strength will bear, to get u p aâgOO'â <'T-r/*nlaÂŤnTi rriio patients m u st keep i n g to get welL This has a great deal to appetite, and is a great p o int to gain. To depair of cure after such e-vidence of its possi bility in the worst c:^cs, and m o ral certainty in all othersLis sinful. Dr. Schenricâs personal statement to tho Faculty of âhis own cure was in. these modest words: âMany years ago I âwas in the last stages of con sumption ; confined to my bed, and a t one time my physicians thought I would not live a week; then, like a drowning man catching a t straws, I heard of and obtained the preparations which I now offer to the public, and they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to me that I could feel them penetrate my whole system. They soon ripened the matter in my lungs, and I would spit up more than a pint of of- pains, and nigM swi my appetite became so great that i t was -with great difficulty that I could keep from eating too muCh. I soon gained my strength, and have grown in flesh over since. âI was weighed shortly aftermyrccovery,â added the doctor, â then looking like a mere skeleton; my weight -was only ninety-seven p o unds; my presenâ- weight is two hundred and twenty-five (225) pounds and for years I have enjoyed -uninterrupted health.' Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional-vis its to New York and Boston. He or his son. Dr. J. H.

The directions for taking the medicines are adapt ed to tho intelligence even of a child.
