WHERE TO LOOK FOR WAR XEWS. 
From The Chicago Tribune. 
The only American correspondents that have as yet sent 
any information from the seat of war are those of The New- 
York Tribune, which lias distanced all competitors by the 
promptness and fullness of its intelligence. 
From the Dayton (Ohio) Journal. 
The European war correspondence of The New-York 
Tribune is strikingly superior to auy other that comes from 
that quarter. 
From The Burlington Free Press. 
In the matter of war news, The New-York Tribune is 
showing far more enterprise than auy of its cotemporaries. 
Every morning itgives from half a column to three columns 
of special cable dispatches. 
From The Norwalk Gazette. 
The New-York Tribune is running a great newspaper 
card in its European war news. No journal in America, 
and probably none in the world, is expending so much 
money for war nows and telegrams over the ocean wires. 
From The Chicago Republican. 
The New-York Tribune is exhibiting so much enterprise 
in securing telegraphic advices relative to the war. 
From The Rochester Express. 
As usual, The Tribune gives us the most interesting and 
reliable news'we have from the seat of war.. 
From The Newark Evening Courier. 
The New-York Tribune publishes the latest war news 
every morning. The other morning papers print a second 
edition at 6 o’clock, containing The Tribune’s dispatches 
stolen in full. For the last 10 days they liave stolen these 
dispatches regularly. 
THE NEW-YORK WEEKLEY TRIBUNE, 
THE GREAT FARMERS’ AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER 
Prints each week the best things written on the subject of 
agriculture by American and foreign writers. No prudent 
farmer can do without its full Reports of the Proceedings 
of the Farmers’ Club of the American Institute; Talks about 
Fruit; Stock, Financial, Cattle, Dry Goods, and General 
Market Reports. 
ITS HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT 
Contains ffach week articles on the Management of Small 
Farms, Fruit and Vegetable Culture, and how to make them 
pay, giving general and specific directions from planting to 
tlie ultimate disposal of the crops. 
ITS VETERINARY DEPARTMENT 
Answers questions concerning diseases of Cattle, Horses, 
Sheep, and other domestic animals, aud to prescribe reme¬ 
dies. Answers and prescriptions will be given only through

We have watched with great interest the results of vari¬ 
ous applications of these compounds, knowing that if suc¬ 
cessful, they would he of incalculable benefit to the commu¬ 
nity. By tests made under our own supervision, and the re¬ 
ports of careful observers, we believe it to be established 
that these Cresylic Compounds are , 
1st. Complete Disinfectants.— They not only re¬ 
move all noxious odors from sinks, privies, stables, etc., hut 
will destroy all infection in clothing, rooms, etc., washed 
with their solution. Thus, contagion from Small Pox, Typhus 
Fever, Cholera, and other diseases, may be effectually pre¬ 
vented. They are used-in the New York and other Hospitals 
for these purposes. 
3d. Insect Destroyers.— An animal washed with 
Carbolic Soap will be entirely freed from all vermin. It 
will destroy ticks on sheep, fleas on dogs, lice on cattle or 
poultry, roaches, ants, bed-bugs, etc., in rooms. It repels 
flies from animals, and thus is especially useful in'case of 
wounds or sores from any cause. 
3d. Preventive of Fungus Growth.— On this 
point we ask for further experiment. We feel confldent this 
soap, properly applied, will prevent smut in wheat, mildew 
on vines, and similar parasitic growth, and trust that exper¬ 
imenters Will furnish the result of their trials. 
4tli. Cleaning Sores, etc.— For washing ulcers and 
.other foul sores, and preventing gangrene in wounds, etc., 
Carbolic Soap is, we believe, unequaled. We know also that 
it has been successful wherever used, for footrot in sheep, 
and mange, itch, ring-worm, and other skin diseases. 
Desiring that our readers should be benefited by the ex¬ 
tended introduction of what we believe to he so valuable, 
we have established a general agency for the sale of these 
compounds, keeping them constantly on hand, and are pre¬ 
pared to fill orders at wholesale or retail, at the following
