The Receipt of these Bitters was obtained by the proprietor In lf*45 , from an old and experienced physician (then a phv. sician in the Prussian annv), and a graduate of the liigliest medical colleges of German v. These Bitters are Guaranteed to cure the se­ verest cases of D1ARRIKEA, INDIGESTIOX, DYSPEPSIA, and are a certain preventative of FEMALE SICKNESS, CHILLS AND FEVER, ANI) AGUE. ' Diarrhwa Is a disease characterized by an increased discharge from the Bowels, usually in a very liquid state, and sometimes contain- Ing a large quantity of Bile, Besides the vari. ons puvjcativo medicines, undressed or imii. gestable food, or vegetables, :ieid fruits, oily or putrid ^u>;st^2u'cs fre<iuently cause I)larr. h«ca. Physicians distinguish various kinds of l»!arrho'H. as when the forces »«ss off ordinary quality; "bil'osa" when the bile is more abun<lant than natural; "mucosa" when the excrements contain aqimntfty of mucus; "serosv" in which they are almost entirely liquid and watery; and "licuteria" when the food passes through the body in an almost un altered state. There are' frequently, also nausea an<l vomiting, a bitter taste 'in the mouth, a furred and yellow tongue, drv and harsh skin, a full or sallow countenance, and If speedly checked, great emaciation. This is one of tyose diseases by means of which na­ ture strives to get rid of impurities, and re­ store the system to its natural condition. Hence, when it is not verv violent, and the patient is strong, It is best to let it take its course for a short time, and bv taking only two wine glasses full of the Bitters for the first ten hours,* JFor violent cases live wine glasses full per day, one before each meal and ^Wko tmtween mea}s. In any case great care should be taken nofto stop it too suddenly. Thjp treatment thus in all cases depends upon thp cause from which it sprang.

JT, £E9T. AtoHeurr, Oe|, 5th. 187& £ SI LENT MEN. Washington never made a speech. In toe zenith of his fame he once At­ tempted it, failed, and gave it up,con- fiused and abasfied. In framing the ^Co«ft4tution of th« United States the labor wgg almost wholly performed in cr.5*»uiittees of the whole, of which Gef»rge Washington was chairman. He twice during the convention; but hiawords were so few that they could »not fitly h« termed speeches. The !coi*entiou, however, acknowledged th4 master spirit, and historians affirm tha£, had it not been for his personal popularity and the sincerity with which lie Spoke, the constitution would have beetn rejected by the people. Thomas JeiPerson never made a speech. He ootildn't doit. Napoleon,whose execu­ tive ability almost without a parallel, sail that his greatest trouble was. in Iln4lng men of deeds rather than words. ;W5»h asked hpw ho maintained his in- over his superiors in age and ex^ci-ience, when cominander-in-chief of tho army in Italy, he said, "By re- se.-T*." The greatness of a man Is not to he measured by the length of his sptpches or their number. H&c great drawback to th© dispatch oft^ueiness in Congress and in our State Legislatures will be found in the fact that there are too manjT talking men In t hose bodies and too few silent ones. No matter how much good sense an in­ dividual may possess, if unable or un­ willing to make speeches, there are those wh® think he cannot be of much aocouut. Men endowed with the "gift of gab" are the sort the crowd run after though they may be sadly deficient in intelligence and .good' judgment. Our Legislatures, State aud National, c<yi- taia great numbers of this class of people, a»d they are about the poorest material iu those bodies. They can niajte speeches, they can talk, and that is about all they can do. A good share of the iffork is performed by the silent men, those who are rarely heard of. Of course i t is well enough that there should be a few men in our legislative assemblies who cr.n explain the meas­ ure® which come up for consideration. for^«xp}anation may sometime be nee- essary. But as a rule there is too much talk and too little work. Speeches are made when they are not called for, whin they do no good,--made that the er m*r hear himself talk, or that y be heard by others, or that he " trfllifelf hi to prtni, * lengthy discourses are delivered to an audience composed of gentlemcu many of whom understand the question discussed as well ot£better than the speaker. They are read or spoken when they enlighten, tiobodj*, when thev are siuiply a bore. For it is to be borne Is mind that the men who talk the least, think the most, have the best intellects, possess the greatest amount of knowledge and th« largest stoek of good sound sense. It often happens that a matt can do a great deal of talking on very limited capital. He has the gift of speech, but lacks nearly every other gift. He lacks industry, lacks application, lacks culti­ vation, lacks business habits, aud there­ fore he is a very ordinary man, though he can talk. In the various elements which go to make up a truly great man lie is of small statue. There is now and thca a silent man like Washington or Jefferson or <5r«ut that will accomplish more than an entire army of speech- makers. OVER AWILt. The inevitable squabble over a rich man's will has begun in Detroit. Mr. E. B. Ward, dying a few months ago, left a fortune of five million dollars, and the funeral was hardly over before the heirs began to quarrel about the be­ quests. One relative, who had received ten thousand dollars, said he deserved ten times that amount, and gave notioe that he would contest the will. The latest move is a combined one by the widow and some of the other lie Irs, and consists of a petition to the Michigan Legislature for an amend­ ment to tbe present law relating to the settlement of estates, so as to do away with, the special administrator who may be appointed to take charge of the estate until it is settled, and in­ stead, to give the executors control. The sons resist the proposed change in the law, and as a powerful lobby is en listed on both sides, a bitter oontest is expected. JQTA fastiduous English lady, on her-travels, stopping temporarily at the log cabin of a literary trapper in Ore­ gon, and seeing the .essays of Carlyle aud Macaulay on the table, asked the frontiersman what he thought of those authors. MOh!" said he, 4,them fellers is some pumpkins.

Prepared by request, to be read before the Cryttal lAxke Crmfrings Horti- culcural Society, at their Meeting held XMt Grower^ Half, on the 25th, 2Hth, (ind 27th of January, 187G, but www omitted, on aeeotmf. of other important busthess. By Capt. J.JS. Bcbklty*. In assuming tfie role an essayist J am acware of subjecting myself to the criticisms of a discriminating public, but trusting to your forbearauce upon this occasion I shall ask your -attention for only a few moments, to a few thoughts upon the subject of Vegeta­ bles, as being iu harmony with the "pirit of our meeting here to-clay. In scanning not to closely this subject we find it one of a trinity of so-called Kingdoms, to-wit : The Animal, The Vegetable and the Mineral Kingdoms. In the animal man stands preeminently prominent, subjecting all to his pur­ pose and using all with a masters skill to enhance the happiness of his kind­ red; but lut only the animal but the vegetable also has felt the magic pow­ er of man's investigation, and thus has opened wide the gates jof her kingdom and revealed in part the rich treasures. New sources of wealth and happiness seem to he continually brought to light through mail's investigation, and yet, like the sources of the Nile, the vegetable kingdom is yet. but partially explored, but we hope to make at least one new discovery here to-day. We want to adt^ on6 more success to our many triumphs. For the better com­ prehension of this subject we find the vegetable kingdom divided and each part considered under its appropriate head, to-wit; Agriculture, Horticulture and Floriculture. But only for conve­ nience it is thus divided, for all these parts are necessary to form one gt and stupendous whole. The Agriculture to represent the field, the Horticulture the garden, and the Floriculture to decorate and beautify tbe whole. But let us pass by Agricultural with her broad fields of golden grain and tassaled corn, with clover scented nie&uows and wide blue grass pastures, and loiter for a moment beneath the tempting shade of yonder fruit laden orchard, while we note some of the beautiful specimens that hang in such rieh profusion above and around us. How those "Early Junes," so richly colored and already ripe, tempt our taste, while there we se#" tfivwSa<j modest beauty as the gentle breeze lifts the dark green canopy of leaves that shelter it from the rays of the sum­ mer's suu; and there the "Wine Sap" (so deliciousjte-thetaste) hangs from the slenderfboughs reveling a flush of beauty that can only be appreciated but by the taste. But we should weary you should we enumerate all we behold yet here are two varieties that present so bold a front we cannot pass them by without pausing a moment to note their demeanor, m both seem to be boasting of great superiority over all their more modest connections. The one has grown red with boastful pride as he speaks of his comely form and great power of endurance, while the other, no less egotistical, but rather a pale greenness that is quite satisfac­ tory. while he speaks of the many praisas bestowed by his admiring vota­ ries. In the one we behold the uBen Davis," while the ^Dominie" is recog­ nized in the other as he boasts of his mission. But we must pass on as the garden more particularly invites our attention and note the extent, for a few rods of ground no longer suffices for a garden patch, hut the fence is poshed back until large fields are in­ corporated In the Horticultural lnclos* ure, and a few sparo moments before breakfast will not Bufifce to cnltivate our modern gardens. A few years ago a single tomato plant (then called Jjove- Apple and considered quite unfit for use) was sufficient, but now unnumber­ ed acres are devoted to their culture and the fruit is measured by tons and bought and sold in every market and consumed in every family throughout the land. And the same may be said of other vegetables. A feyr rods de­ voted to cabbage used to be sufficient, as our Teutonic friends were the prin­ cipal consumers except that our good mothers used to make use of some, for who of us do not remember those de­ lectable "Pot Victuals" ..that used ' to adorn our tables at least three times a week. They need no description froin me, but why this change ? me thinks I hear you ask. From the simple reason we did not know how to preserve them, only suoh as could be dried, and we did not know how to use them as we do now. Besides we did not- relish them as we do now. The same with cucum­ bers. A few hills were plenty then, now large farms are devoted to their culture, for we have but Just learned the value of Pickles as an appetizer, Well do I remember, while in the ser* vice of my country, how highly we prfce4 some pickled potatoes and pickled onions that onr good sanitarjp ; friends so though folly sent us. Th<i science of Horticulture, (n connection with a knowledge of preserving an4 ^ using the fruits of our gardens, hajf " done vero mnch towards ameliorating sickness and disease ia ear hffssi, be­ sides it brings ns in such close proxi­ mity withjthe anderiatlng laws of Nsjr'... ture that a pure and unostentatlonjl^ _ morality takes possession of oar mlndf \ and leads us on through Nature tip t# Nature's God. I fear that 1 shall wearjr y o n b n t l i n u a t n o t o v e r l o o k t h e l a s i v part of oar subject for who of us cai" dispense with the little Flower gar­ dens. It creates «n atmosphere of love and teaches a lesson of innocence and of purity as well as of Spiritual , « and omnipotent wisdom that is not found in our books. Those little to­ kens of love are nsed io adorn th« living and likewise to decorate the graves of the dead. Go where you will, I care not how hnmble the cot, where ever you find those tiny tokens of inno- cen'ce festooned about the door or lured in fairy forms over the window, and you will fond the taind that trelle«sed them, as pure and innocent as the flow­ ers it cultivates. Flowers are the great civilisers of our raoe. I could civilize a Scion Indian could I but keep him in a flower garden. Then let ns culticate them. Let us learn that the Vegetable Kingdom is richly stored with lessons of purity, lessons of wis­ dom and lessons of love. t Let ns feel proud to he called a Horticulturist. Let us educate our children lo feel thai there it no true nobility mtho&i LATE DtAIBY MARKXTBi • UTICA, X.Y., Feb. tsttw Tfc CHKKSK.--There has been no intet& ruption in the foreign demand for latA factory cheese; and the market has continued firm.
