RECENTLY DISCOVERED IN THE

Fifteen yeora of earnest botanical research among these 

 mouutaius and valleys have resulted in the diacovery, not 

 only of many new varieties of plants, but of new species — 

 some of which have wonderful medicinal and curative 

 properties. By continued eiieriment their virtues have 

 become kuowu — and thus from extracts of these newly dis- 

 covered plants are these pills compounded. 



If properly used, they will cure very many disensea, pains 

 and aches — aud are more esgeciallv valuable in Dl'.SI-

The Only t>ifference. 



The servant of an army oflicer one day met a crony, 

 who Inquired of him how he got along with his fiery 

 master. " Oh, ex<-ellently ! " answered the servant; 

 "we live on friendly terni.s; every morning we beat 

 each other's coats ; the only ditrerence is, he takes his 

 off to be beaten, and I keep mine on."

The LANfASTER Farmer : The February num- 

 ber of this journal Is even belter than the January 

 number, which we took pleasure in commending when 

 it made its appearance in its new dress. The present 

 number contains several excellent editorials on sub- 

 jectsof great interest to the farmer and horticulturist, 

 while the correspondence and selected articles show- 

 that careful editorial supervision has been exercised 

 in their preparation and arrangement for the press. 

 A beautiful engraving of the Centennial building in 

 Philadelphia, is also published In the present number, 

 which should be In the hands of every Lancaster 

 county farmer, horticulturist and stock raiser. —

An intolerable bore, having talked a friend nearly 

 out of his senses, finally struck out on the " oyster," 

 which he called "one of the most remarkable speci- 

 mens of creative wisdom extant," when his friend in- 

 terrupted him and "closed the debate" with the ex- 

 clamation, "The oyster! Ah, yes, the oyster is a 

 glorious fellow. He always knows when to shut up."

The Lancaster Farmer : We take pleasure in 

 acknowledging the receipt of the Lniicasler Farmer 

 for January and February, In its changed, improved 

 and enlarged form. We have no doubt that under 

 the able control of Prof. S. S. Rathvon, it Is destined 

 to occupy a first-class position among the journals 

 devoted to scientific and practical Agriculture. lis 

 contents are varied and well adapted to the wants of 

 the farmers of our county; furnishing them with 

 just such information as will be of great ultimate 

 benefit to them in their daily avocation. — Marietta 

 Register. 



An old-fashioned clergyman named More was 

 riding on horseback one stormy day, enveloped in a 

 loose" cloak of large proportions and having a broad 

 scarlet collar. By the action of the wind the cloak 

 was tossing about in all directions, when a gentleman 

 rode up on a spirited horse, whleh shied and almost 

 threw the rider. " That cloak of yours would frighten 

 the devil," said the gentleman. " You don't say 

 sol" replied .Mr. More; "why, that's just my 



trade."
