He was educated in New York for the law, but gave it‘up for theology at his parents’ desire, as well as, prob- ably, at his own. He was not only a man of exceptional ability, but resorted to all sorts of tricks of manner and a, speech to got himself talked about, in d which, of course, he succeeded, and in his early days as a preacher was cari- catured from one end of the country to the other. His success “ financially ” was phenomenal for a clergyman; he was supposed, at one time, to be worth $1,000,000, and it is said that he boast- ed that he could make $1,000'a day. But, somehow, we never admiredâ€"or perhaps we had better say esteemedâ€" the Rev.

At a town in England in which he delivered a lecture a violent storm prevented the attend- ance of nearly all the people who would otherwise have been present, but the Rev. DeWitt refused to abate one penny of his customary charge, which showed that, though a first-class business man, he was a long way off being a first-class Christian. When about to go to Europe and the Holy Land he wrote a lot of sermons and sold them before he left New York, and two or three of them, when they appeared in, print, were said to have been delivered in places which, it was afterwards discovered, he had never visited.

Old readers of the Post and Watchman will remem- ber George Calvert’s advertisement com- mencing “ I and the mule," and perhaps one of those papers will ascertain and let us know whether the mule spoken of by Mr. Hughes is the one formerly own. ed by Mr. Calvert. The queition “ How long do mules live ?” is one of great im- portance to farmers, some few of whom in this riding own one or two of these hybrids andâ€"we believn without an ex- ceptionâ€"speak highly of them. They are much stronger in proportion to their size than horses, require much less food, and it is very seldom that anything net's wrong with their feet or limbs; If, in addition to these points of superiority to horses, they live nearly twice as long, it is surprising that so few of them are in use. True, they are not as hand- some or speedy as horses, but that does not make them less fit for ordinary farm work. Mr. Thomas Littleton, who lives about a mile from the Falls, has had a pair long enough to be thoroughly ac- quainted with their merits and demerits, and is glad that he bought them. He says that they are just as good natured and tractable as horses, and can draw over a cord of green wood on ordinary roads without apparent difficulty. Few of the mules we have ever seen were more than fourteen hands high ; but in countries in which they are extensively used there are thousands of them that stand from fifteen to sixteen hands and weigh fully ball a ton. Raise Chickens for EXpori. Messrs. Dundas & Flavelle Bros.’ ad- vertisement under the above heading has appeared in the last tour or five is.- sues of the Gazette, and is to remain until the end of the year. The firm. are well known as large exporters of eggs and chickens, and, wishing to in- crease the business this season. have put into circulation Several thousand hand-bills and folders, .md inserted ad; vertisements in all or nearly all the papers published within the sphere of- their operations, telling the kinds of fowls they want and the prices they are willing to pay. Last- year they distrib- uted about a thousand settings of eggs for'hatching, and Mr. Joseph McFar- land, their agent at the Falls, tells us that he is prepared to supply eggs of the large breeds of fowls to persons who) wish to obtain them. We doubt whe- ther any kind of live stock on a farm pays better than hens, if properly fed, housed and’ cared' for in'winter, and years ago, when the prices given for chickens were much lower than they, new, are, the wife of a farmer who lives not very far- from the Falls, paid 0E a mortgage on her husband’s land with. the money she made out of poultry, and said. that there was no need to fear a mortgage on the farm if there were plenty of hens- kept. Therefore every, farmer, whether burdened with at mort- gage or not, should take Messrs. Dundas. St: Flavelle Bros.’ advice, and raise- chi‘ekens for export. School Board.

About five years ago my right ear began to snug, and tins kept on getting worse. until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. _ I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months. Without any success, consulted a num‘. ber of physicians. among others, the most eminent ear specualist of this City, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head uoxses would thcr. cease, but the hearing in the affected out would be lost ICI‘L‘VCI'. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat- 3116‘": After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noxses ceased. and teddy, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. 1 thank you "heartil and be to remain Vex trul ours. y g y WERMAN, 730 S.
