M OB SB’S CAR IVY.—This celebrated horse was award¬ 
ed the first premium of $20 at the great New-York State 
Fair in September, 1850, where he was exhibited with a large 
number of his colts, and was judged the best stock horse for all 
work in this country. Said horse has trotted his mile in two 
minutes and forty-six seconds. One of his colts took the first 
premium at the state fair at Saratoga Springs, owned by Mr. 
Milliman, of Washington County, N. Y., and all places where 
stock have been exhibited, they carried off the best premi¬ 
ums. He is a beautiful dapple grey, 15$ hands high, strongly and 
finely proportioned. This horse is a descendant of the diligence 
coach horses in Italy, and brought from there by Napoleon Bona¬ 
parte to France, and was then sold to a gentleman and brought 
to Quebec, and was there sold to a gentlemen by the name of Me 
Mit, of Washington County, N. Y. His dam was of the Messen¬ 
ger breed. Said horse was raised by Mr. J. Mills, of Argyle, 
Washington County, N. Y. 
We challenge any horse in this state to show as fine stock as 
said horse. His colts are justly celebrated for speed, bottom, 
and good temper, are eagerly sought after in the market, and 
command prices varying from $150 to $500 and $1,000. Terms, 
$10 the season. Insurance to be agreed upon. Said horse will 
stand at the stable of James Rice, three miles north of the village 
of Lan3ingburgh. All communications addressed to J. T. Grant, 
P. M., Junction, Rensselaer Co. N. Y., will receive prompt atten¬ 
tion. CALVIN MORSE,

has just published The Fruit Garden, a treatise intended to 
illustrate and expiain the physiology of fruit trees, the theory and 
practice of all operations connected with the propagation, trans¬ 
planting, pruning, and training of orchard and garden trees, as 
standards, dwarfs, pyramids, espaliers, &c., the laying out and 
arranging different kinds of orchards and gardens,”the selection 
of suitable varieties for different purposes and localities, gather¬ 
ing and preserving fruits, treatment of disease, destruction of 
insects, descriptions and uses of implements, &o., illustrated with 
upwards of one hundred and fifty figures, representing different 
parts of trees, all practical operations, forms of trees, designs Im¬ 
plantations, and implements, &c. By P. Barry, of the Mount- 
Hope Nurseries, Rochester, New York. 1 vol. 12mo. 
CONTENTS. 
Part 1. Describes the different parts of fruit trees—roots, stems, 
branches, leaves, blossoms, and fruit; explains their different 
characters, functions, and practical classifications. It treats, also, 
of soils and manures, of the best modes of propagation, and the 
general principles and practice of prunning. 
This part is a new feature in treatises of this kind, and is intend¬ 
ed to be the ground-work of all the operations of culture. 
Part II. Treats of the propagation and management of trees in 
the nursery in detail, both standards and dwarfs, beginning with 
the stocks and ending with taking up the trees. The various 
kinds of stocks, their particular uses, &c., are all correctly des¬ 
cribed. 
Part HI. Treats of the laying out and arrangement of different 
kinds of orchard and fruit gardens, the selection of trees and of 
varieties, planting, prunning, and training of/standards, dwarfs, 
pyramids, and various other forms, in a maimer not attempted in 
any other American treatise, and calculated to furnish important 
information much sought for at this time. 
Part IV. Contains abridged descriptions of all the best fruits of 
well-established merit, with selections for various purposes and 
localities, and lists of new and promising varieties : also a chap¬ 
ter on diseases and insects; another on gathering and preserving 
fruits, and one on the more important implements used in fruit 
culture. The work is so arranged that any branch of the subject 
can be readily referred to, and contains upwards of one hundred 
and fifty figures, illustrating the different parts of trees, different 
forms, modes of propagation, pruning, training, &c.

Electro-Magnetic Remedies 
AND PRACTICE OF THE LATE 
DR. IT. H. SHERWOOD. 
The preparation of Dr. H. H. Sherwood’s well-known Electro- 
Magnetic Remedies of Compound Chloride of Gold, which have 
obtained a success so remarkable in the cure of Chronic Diseases, 
is continued as usual at his late residence, in accordance with his 
last will and directions, by his son-in-law, Wm. Larned, with 
medical assistance, under the name of H. H. Sherwood's Assistants. 
They also continue the medical practice of Dr. Sherwood, and 
and the publication of his various medical works. 
His Magnectic Machines, which are admirably adapted for me¬ 
dical use, are also manufactured by them, and can be sent by 
express or otherwise to any part of the world. 
All communications should be addressed to H. H. Sherwood’s 
Successors, 102 Chambers street, New York. 
We would caution the public against spurious imitations of Dr. 
Sherwood’s Remedies, none being genuine unless prepared by 
ourselves, the recipes of Dr. Sherwood being in our sole posses¬ 
sion by his last will and testament. 
If sold by our authorised agents, they will always be accom¬ 
panied by Dr. Sherwood’s valuable treatise on the Motive Power 
of the Human System, a work of about 200 pages, duly secured 
by copyright. 
We would call attention to the following abstract of Dr. Sher¬ 
wood’s theory of medical practice, from the Manhattan Souvenir: 
The EleUro-Magneiic Theory of Medical Practice .—We are not 
of the number who at once enter a nil utili upon the promulga¬ 
tion of a new theory, nor one differing from the dogmas of the 
schools. Nay, we derive a positive pleasure from the examina¬ 
tion of ideas above the plane of orthordox and grey-bearded sci¬ 
ences. At this present writing, we owe no little satisfaction to the 
examination of a pamphlet containing the rationale of the late 
Dr. Sherwood’s practice in acute and chronic diseases. The 
pamphlet gives a concise history of the rise and progress of the 
magnetic practice, and the theory appears well supported by anal¬ 
ogy, and proved by conclusive experiments. 
All the organs of the body are, without exception, covered with 
a kind of skin called a serous membrane, in which are an im¬ 
mense number of minute glands, with ducts terminating in open 
orifice on the surface. These glands excrete a watery fluid, by 
which the surfaces are kept constantly moist. The internal parts 
of the body, the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, and intestines are 
also lined with a membrane differing from the one above men¬ 
tioned, in having a villous instead of a serous surface. The mem¬ 
branes enclose glands and numerous cavities, opening also upon 
the surface. These ducts and cavities are filled with a semi-fluid, 
or mucus, which is constantly issuing from them ; and hence, 
these are cailed mucous membranes. In the human body, there 
are also four hundred and thirty-six muscles arranged for produ¬ 
cing motion. These muscles are also covered with membrane, 
the outer sides of which has a serous, and the inner a mucous 
surface. 
There are thus two surfaces in the human organisation disposed 
in different ways, exuding each its own fluid. Repeated experi¬ 
ments have demonstrated that each of these exudations gives out 
its peculiar electric force; the serous giving the negative, and the 
mucous positive ; thus terming a magnetic battery in which the 
nerves are wires conveying the current to the brain. 
J n a state of health, these secretions and forces are in a stale of 
equilibrium. In a state of disease, there is a predominance of 
one force over the other. Upon this discovery, Dr. Sherwood’s 
theory is based, his Remedies being electric in their action, and 
restoring the positive and negative currents in the body to a 
healthy equipoise. H. H. SHERWOOD’S
