Any scholar iu the city semina
ry,, under a recent regulation, in ref

nine certificates of houor will entitle
to a graduating card. This regula
tion, it is calculated, will create emu
lation among the scliolars, and a
greater decree of interest in the
studies. We consider it a much" bet

"The G:in2 Plow made by J. C. Pfeil,

wj.th no litjle favor in the west. Almost in
credible stories are told ot its excellence
and elliciency in plowing the prairie lields
of Illinois and other States.
t " The depth of the furrow is regulated by
the craak-axie,. which is so arranged that
the ploughs ca:i be driven deeper or shal
lower at the pleasure of the driver, when thn

"The committee who tested the draught
of this plow w ith a tynamcmeter state, that
it ran lighter by l-t pounds, than other plows
when running at the sama depth, and held
by the plowman while ou foot.'-'
Willi this Plow one man can do
more xvork than two men can do witll

Gentlemen : I have no hesitation in saying
that I believe, the great majority of locomu
tiye engineers have found by experience that
Walthatn Watches are tb most satisfactory
of any for their uses.- Thov run "trith the
greatest accuracy and. st'eadin.esxc?iotw:tIr-.
st-.tnd'tng the rcdgi riding of an engine, and,
as. I have never known one to wear out, they
must be durable. .-. I. hope -to Kee the time
whea railway companies . will generally,
adopt your watches, and furnish them to all
engineers and conductors. In my opinion
it would greatly tcud to promote regularity
and safct3.
Yours respectfullv,

MEDICAL. PROPERTIES

IIOSTTTJEI'S
STOV!ACJfB!Tf ERS
Lj;T IT BE DISTINCTLY B0RNR IN
' mind .that ilOSTETTER'S BITTEKH
is a MEDICINAL PREPARATION, not a
beverage, and that it is entirely free from
the attributes which create. and fofrter a. pas-i
sion for stimulants, aud which beloDg to .all
the distilled and. fonientefl HquofS. of com-j
rnerce. Its alcoholic element is derived, from
-sound r-e, a grain which, according to tbe
testimony of the most distinguished najj.ti
cal chemists, yields a more nhojesomc tiLrit
than any other known t-ubstante. liuttjie
QUINTESSENCE OF RYE employed ia tLe
manufacture of the Bitters, must iiotbe con
founded with the rye spirit .sold in the mar
ket as Bourbon ana Mouongahela Whisky.
The very best brands of those liquors pro
cured for hospital inc, and preferred by the
I eJical Stall's of the Army and Navj to any
other liquor, are not to be compared ia ex
cellence with tbe article used in the concoc
tion of the GREAT: STOMACHIC. It is
subjected, in the first instance, to a process
which deprives it of the. pungent and acrid
elements proved by chemical test to exist in
even what are deemed the incst imported
and domestic spirits, and after being thus
purified, is- kept on, hand long enough to
give it mellowness before bcing medicated.
The chief yirtue of the preparations is not,"
however, in its spirituous basis, but. in tho
juices of the tonic, aperient, corrective and
antibilious vegetable products so largely")
intermixed with it. ..
Perhaps, it may be urged, that if they inn
part to the alc.oholic fluid its preventive and
remedial qualities, water impregnated witk
the sa-ie ingredients would answer tbepnr
po.se as well. . Nothing but profouud igao
rance.of the laws of physiology and patho
logy can excuse such an error. Only by r.
diffusible stimulant can the medicinal con
stituents, that are to fortify the system
agant disease, or counteract .diseased ac
tion, be conveyed directly to their destina
tion. The stimulant rapidly pervades the
animal structure, carrying tvith.it to the
points whcre.it is needed,,-, the required anti
dote. r Water wiil not do this. , It has, com
paratively speaking, no propelling or diffu
sive power. Nor is this all.- Nothing but
alcohol will preserve the medicine) piopcrfy
of vegetable extracts in a iltiid state. Mix
t;iem with water and the compound will
fermect, turn sour and become worse1 than
valueless. - . ....
It is claimed that IIOSTETTIR'S. .BIT-j
TER.S commend themselves to the special
favor of tho. Temperance Physician, as the
only difhi'-i-re timnlant which he can pre
scribe without danger of pnduly exciting tii
brain pf his patient, and of creating tjiat
morbid thirst for alcohol which doses of ifn
medicated spirits arc so apt to engender.' ,
. To argue vith the .dogniAtistj why assrrti
that stimulants are always unnecessary and.
pernicious, would be a waste of time. The
most eminent lights of Medical Science have
settled that. question, and .it is. not. worth
while to,haveta oqur-versy 4vijh te, rush
Lgh. The leading champions of temper
ance In the United States, Ifo'racfe Greelev;
among the number, have annoinced that
they , are pot in favor of prohibitipg the em
ployment of ipirrtr.oiib liquors as medicine.-.
So muih far 'he nioral clairis ct the art-'-cle
under the temperance code. The ground
being thus cleared, and , it is hoped,, to the
satisfaction of every rational champion of
sobriety, the specific application of the Bit
ters to the prevention and cure of the " ills
that flesh is heir to," comes next rn order.
Pcaons whose lives are peculiarly sensi -five
are said to be of a 'bilious habit." The.
morbid inlhtences which affect others, in '
general way, seem in their cases to operate
directly aud mainly upon, the biliary orjan.
Many wIk) are tints predisposed to an over
flow of bile are subject to periodical attack-
of biliousness, accouipanied, by pain in the.
right side, languor, pain between tbe should
ers, gloomy feelings, and that peculiar tinge
of the complexion which indicates that a
portion of the bjle'which should have passed
off through the bowels, has been misdirected,
to tbe venous system, and is present fn the
superficial bloodvessels To- overt these
symptorr.s, and the, general disorder ot the
internal organs, which they involve, it is, ad
visable for individuals of a bilious habit to
take nt least two doses of Ao.?f ETTEK'S'
BITTERS daily at such times as fbey have
reason to apprehend an attack. Indeed, all
who have a constitutional ami temperamen
tal tendency to liver complaints wruIJ do
well to take a' dose of this admirable! ANTI
BILIOUS STOMACHIC every day,.,.Wker
the great secretive gland i.s seriously disor
dered, the medicine usuallv 'resorted to js
mercury, which, iinlcs administered with
very great c.-ntion, is .infinitely, jnore dan
gerous than the disease it . is intended to
subdue. In a largo majority of the cases
tr-'atea with calomel, or blue pill, the anti
bilious and alterative properties of the Bit
ters would produce the desired effect. . And
let it be borne in mind that, whereas mercury
in every shape is; an' insidious poison. ;tho
medicinal ingredients of this preparation
consist exclugivcN of wholesome vegetable'
extracts,, which. are diffused through . h;
svstem Tr mean-i of the purest and mildest
of all known stimulants. . .,,
