“ The call for nearly l.iifiit bale* for nxuort to Lon¬

the present activit y, and not hold for an advatice, 
lor this class of goods largely predominate*, boLb 
here und abroad, und there is little or no chance of 
doing better hy holding. Holders of choice export 
hops, on the other hand, stand a good show or get¬

afford to he a little Independent and not force their 
hops upon the market uow Tile scarcity of line 
hops, the world over. Is sufficient to Insure better

in this light, now probably will see tins the season 
advances, for late advices from London fully con¬ 
firm Hie early reports of a shortage of prime bop* of 
English growth, und tho high prio s asked for Ger¬

STRANGE, BUT TRTJE. 
Kingston, N. J., Oct. 1,1878. 
Messrx. Charles R. Allen & Co., Hartford, Conn.: 
Gents:—Y our favor, asking me if 1 would make 
affidavit to the facts set forth in the letter I wrote 
you a few days ago, came to hand, and I herewith 
inclose my sworn statement. 
Last May I went to Mr. Van Duny’s store, In this 
place, to get some powders for my chickeus, which 
were dying off, and be induced me to try a package 
of your Imperial Kw Food. I took it home and fed 
to my chicks with very good effect, but the strangest, 
part of the story I hav e yet to relate. I have an old 
black hen which I brought with me when 1 moved 
here in April, 1868. She was then a pullet, having 
been hatched the June previous. 18i 7, consequently 
Is now nearly 12 years old, almost blind, and crippled, 
having lost the use of one foot. She had been sick 
some time, and was around under foot; but being an 
old family pet I did not want to klii her. and think¬ 
ing the Egg Food might help her, I put her upon the 
grass in the back yard and mixed It in her feed a few 
days, and *bo soon begau to pick up, her comb turned 
red, she commenced to siug and cackle, and shortly 
to lay, and has laid this season. 
Her new feathers have come ont black and glossy, 
and she looks remarkably well, though crippled and 
almost blind. SARAH LEONARD.

oath salth the above statement is true and correct 
Sworn and subscribed before me this first day of

The New Drying Process invented by Mr.

of Cambrldgeport. Mass., is proving of much ad¬ 
vantage to all who dry materials of any kind (par¬ 
ticularly lumber), and has lately been introduced 
into cotton factories with great success. It is very 
simple and inexpensive : can be used in any form of
