Where contractors have been corner
ed they have had to give in, and the
men are pretty iubliant over their
supposed victory, but when these
contracts run out perhaps they won't
whistle quite so cheerfully aud may
pay dear for their whistle. There is,
a serious check to building opera
tions, and while houses already built
are changing hands at coutiuually
advancing rates, lots hang heavily on
owners' hands, for people will not
put their hands in their pockets to
start up such an expensive business
as building, unless they can form
some sort of an idea as to how much
it much it will cost them, and what
they'll make out of the operation.
When you can't tell, from clay to day

There is a good deal of talk about
the latest benevolent millionaire who

mills for woolen and cotton goods all
over New England, notably at Amos

a well-knovyu figure here, where his
principal business establishment is
located. His father introduced the
manufacture of cotton goods into
this country, having in a most roman
tic way, worked in the English mills
as a common operative in order to
master the details of their secret pro

under date of Dec. 21, 1881 : "I have used
Bradley's Phosphate for the last five
years. My first trial of a few bags was
so satisfactory that I have since bought
it by the ton. I had a chance to test its
merits last year, by using it in alternate
rows with a well-known formula manure
for potatoes. I raised twenty per cent,
more potatoes in the rows manured with
with Phosphate than in the rows manured
with the formula manure, and that, too,
at less cost. I shall use no other in fu
ture. As to its lasting qualities, I have
to say that where it was used in the rows
of corn three years ago, it could be easily
traced in the grass last summer, and I
called the attention of my neighbor (Mr.
J. L. Bean) to it. Whether the ground
be rich or poor, I use Bradley's Phos

it to be a good investment."

shown by the following letter from F. B.

rived last week, having been taken off
Heard's Island in the South Indian Ocean,
by a U. S. steamer, after a sojourn of fif
teen months there. They went to the
island to kill sea-elephants for their oil,
and their vessel, after being beached,
was driven put to sea preventing their
escape. The narrative of their sojourn
on the island vies with the story of Rob
inson Crusoe, and the circumstances of
their rescue are even more wonderful
Captain Williams' wife, in Niantic, Con
necticut, never despairing of her husband,
had petitioned the Secretary of the Navy
to send a vessel to Heard's Island in
search of him. At the time of the arriv
al of the Marion the thirty-three members
of the crew were all in good health, and,
although thin and wasted, had not actual
ly suffered from want of food. The sup
ply of penguin eggs was, however, per
ceptibly diminishing, and Captain Wil
liams feels assured that the crew would
have perished after a few months' longer
suffering. Heard s Island is in latitude,
53 south, longitude 73: 30 east.

It is an easy matter to recommend
a plow ; nearly all plows in use are
highly recommended by the manufac
turers, but, most farmers know that
j a good reversible plow, one that will

equal widths, &c, and will satisfy the
farmers, generally, is a hard thing to
find.
We wish here to call your attention
to a NEW PLOW, which has, how
ever, been in use where made, long
enough fqr its faults (if any) to be
found out; and we make the state
ment and are prepared to back it up,
that it is the best plow made ix
the united states, for the follow
ing reasons:
1. It is the simplest plow made
for the amount and kind of work it
will do.
2. It has no parts that will get out
of order, any more than a common
side-hill plow.
3. It has no more pieces than a
Skin and Flesh, instantly allays Itchings and Irrita
tions, Softens, Soothes, and Heals. Worth its weight

We would refer you to the follow
ing persons who have used the Hub
bell Plow, and the list could be
greatly extended if necessary.
John L. Dodge, of Irasburgh, says
he has tried lots of side-hill plows, and
the Hubbell is the only plow fit to
be called a side-hill plow.
D. B. Skinner, of Brownington,Vt
says it is the best plow he ever saw.
Alden E. Judevine, Hard wick, Vt.,
says he would not take fifty dollars for
his Hubbell. Plow, unless he could
get another like it.
Orrin Hall, Hardwick, Vt., tried
the steel plows, and says the IIcbbell
Plow holds easier, draws easier, and
turns better.
Levi Dot-, Elmore, Vt, says it is
the best plow he ever used.
Ex.-Gov. Hendee has talked with
quite a number that have used them,
and says they all tell him the same
story "that they are an excellent plow.'
John Scott and Earl Guyer, Wol-
cott, Henry .blossom, . Mornstown,
Alder Jones, Craftsbmy, and others,
speak very highly of them. Write
and see what they say.
Some reliable farmers say they can
save fifty cents a day in work and
wear and tear of team by using this
plow.
We have also been gratified to hear
farmers who have used this plow,
make the following expressions in re
lation to it : "This is the first swivel
plow that I ever used that just filled
the bill." Another says, "It is just
the plow 1 have been looking lor tor
years." We could enumerate many
more similar remarks, which would
illustrate the satisfaction with which
this plow is received by farmers ; but
we depend upon the merits ot the
plow more than anything else.
We also manufacture other plows,
both swivel and land, as will be seen
by the following list, that have never

Mas's Ixgbatitude. Tbis is au ungrateful world

he has the itching piles, and declare that he knows he

A Great Blessing to Mothers and Nceses,
'Swayne's Teething Cure" for infants. This new
theory and infallible remedy has saved the lives of
thousands of children. When the child is in pain, or
restless with its teeth shooting in its gums, simply
rub the gums for two or three minutes with the
"Cure." What little it may swallow will relieve the
colic, pain and flatulence, pre-eut fever, and avoid
that painful operation of lancing the gums, which
always makes thg next tooth harder to come through
and sometimes causes death. Depend upon it, moth
ers, it will give rest to yourselves and immediate relief
and health to jour infants. A very able medical
writer.who enjoys a large and lucrative practice, says
"rubbing the gums with a soothing lotion, is the only
true method for children teething, poisonous drugs
should never be introduced into their delicate stoip
achs, Swayne's Teething Cure" is prepared only by
Dr. Bwayne A Son, Philadelphia, and sold by all lead'
ing apothecaries at 25 cents a bottle.
