pletely demoralized by the continuous jar of the train. To

the most approved principles, and combines all the recent 
improvements. It has a new micrometrieal regulator, by

carefully adjusted, and may be entirely relied on to rim ac- 
curately, wear well, and ENDURE THE HARDEST 
USAGE, without any derangement whatever. "We confi- 
dently recommend this watch to the trade and the public as 
the BEST "WATCH FOR THE PRICE IN THIS MARKET.

Economy in the Kitchen. 
Prudent housekeepers are ever on the alert to practice 
economy in the culinary department. In no way can this 
be done more effectually than in the use of a Baking Powder 
which combines purity, strength, and reliability. 
Dooley's Yeast Powdep lias attained t lie deserved repu- 
tation of being economical, convenient, and wholesome, 
besides which it will produce from a barrel of flour twentv- 
flve to forty pounds more bread, rolls, etc., than by ttie old 
process of raising dough with bakers' or hop yeast. Here 
alone is a great saving, and authorizes the guarantee that it 
will give entire satisfaction.

particular lie is about everything connected with his 
dairy, the better he appreciates and likes the Blanchard 
Chnrn.

1 BOOK FOR THE MILLION. 
THE 
YOUNG 
HOUSEKEEPE RS 
FRIEND. 
By MRS. CORNELIUS. 
UKVISBD AND ENLARGED. 
The aim of the writer of this work has been to furnish to 
young housekeepers the be?t aid that a book can give in tho 
departments of which it treats. No printed guide can per- 
fectly supply the place of that experience which is gained 
by early and habitual attention to domestic concerns. But 
the directions here given arc so minute and practical, that 
the observance of them will prevent very many of the per- 
plexities which most young people suffer during their first 
years of married life. 
The recipes, with very few exceptions] are furnished from 
the author's own experience, or that of her immediate 
friends. An ample variety Is given for furnishing the table 
of any American family; but especial reference has been 
had to those who have neither poverty nor riches ; and such 
directions have been given as will enable a housekeeper to 
provide a good and healthful table, or, if desired, a hand- 
some one, at a moderate expense. 
How well the author has succeeded Is manifest from the 
very great favor with which past editions, through a period 
of twenty-five years, have been received. And now, in this 
new edition, she has rendered the book more than ever 
worthy of patronage, by a thorough revision, the omission 
of a few recipes of least value, the addition of full direc- 
tions for Canning Fruits, and more than One H un- 
clrcd and Fifty New Recipes which have been 
tested by experienced housekeepers. While the lessons of 
economy taught by the late war have not been forgotten, 
the author has well met the demands of the present customs 
of society for a greater variety of" dishes than nsed to bo 
thought requisite for the ample supply of the family table.
