Swallowing a big camel is nothing in comparison.”—Kennebec Journal. The above was evidently intended as a re ply our article last week in regard to the I proposed reversal of the decision of the Su preme Court concerning the legal tender law. (t is true the Journal does not have the frank ness and manhood to say so. but resorts to its ■stinl slang style of insinuations, but its Meaning is quite as apparent ns it would be if> plainly and honestly declared. “It docs not undertake to meet or refutes single position of ours, but nndcr the phrase “Basse fellows,’’ meanly insinuates that we tawa contended within a few weeks for meas uks to repudiate the whole national debt.

If the Street Commissioner Is going to attend to them all at once lie will have to spread himself out exceedingly thin. The amendments added by Senator (Vagin to the House lull to suppress poly gamy, have intensified it to such a degree that Ilrigham and Ids followers are more troubled than ever. In its present shape it deprives the Mormon Church of all legal power to solemnize marriages or grant divorces, punishes with a heavy line or imprisonment any person who may as sist at sueli a ceremony, and aho any person who may cohabit with a woman under the ceremonies of the Mormon church. If this should become a law there will lie wailing in I’tali among the elders, and the question of the power of the strong hand to deal with this difficult matter will be tested. GENERAL FEW'S.

I’erry is situated thirty-four miles in a northwest! rly direction from Des Moines, the capital of the State of Iowa. The Des M lines Valley II. II. running from Keokuk, on the Mississippi river, to Des Moines, thence to Fort Dodge, where they quarry material for the manufacture of Cardiff giants, thence to connect with a road from Minnesota, passes through this place. This road was opened from Des Moines during the past season. Its general course is from southeast to north west. crossing the Chicago, Hock Island and the Pacific Hoad a few miles this side of Des Moines, ami crossing the Chicago and North Western running from Chicago to Council Bluffs, sixteen miles northwest of this place The two (treat Western [roads above named j run nearly parallel across the State from east to west. This village of Perry is situated. 1 about mid way between the two Great North Western Koads, a tew miles nearer the North j Western than the Hock Island. The belt of j the country lying between the two great tlior- j otighfares running from the east to the west, i- a beautiful section of country, and the soil of the very best quality for agricultural pur- suits, and owing to its location, climate, abundance of coal, good and pure streams i of water, is fast settling up and must, in a few short years, become densely settled. Tit is town is built on the prairie between two streams, one tlie Coon river, which has its i source in the northwest part of the State, and unites witli the Des Moines within the limits of the eitv. I think nearly the size of the j Sandy river, at this place. The other stream, I called BeavcrCreek, runs nearly parallel with the Coon at this place, some three miles dis tant. and unites with the Des Moines river, north of the city. These streams are both bordered with tim ber, from a half to two miles wide, consisting of white and black oak, blsek walnut, hick ory. elm, ash, sycamore, hard and soft maple, coffee tree, hackberry, &c., &r. No ever greens Of any kind or description whatever. This timber stretching away in the distance as far as the eye can reach, gives a beautiful expression to the landscape, which otherwise would be like looking out on the boundless ocean, so to speak. In other words it gives one relief that cannot be found in looking off on these great everlasting prairies. The face of tlie country here is more rolling than fur ther south, in Illinois, and Missouri, so far as I have seen those States, hut do not infer from this that it is hilly, far from this. Targe, gen- tie swells of moderate elevation, with the ex-! eeption of the Vuffl on the streams is the general character of the surface. The soil is generally a black vegetable mould from one to ten feet deep on the prairies. The bluffs are made up of a different soil, not so fertile, i but said to be fine for fruit. Speaking of the bluffs reminds me of the coal mines. It is believed there is an endless! supply of coal in the immediate vicinity of this place, both on tlie Coon and Beaver, j which will be ot more value than can readily j be estimated to the surrounding country. Several banks have already been dpenc, but some of the parties are already in bust nets. and the others are making preparations to commence soon. Previous to the fire we had three dry goods and grocery stores, filled with a largo assortmcul of goods, two hard ware stores, ouo tin manufactory, two drug stores, two lumber yards, two agricultural im- j plcment stores, two public houses, one targe -a grain warehouse, bakery, blacksmith, shoe shop, barber shop, three doctors, one lawyer. Baptist clergyman, Boyd Carded, Land Agents, post offlce||. telegraph office, clothing store, harness and•ftarniture shop, coalyard, «team saw mill, stock vai4%r shipping stokk, &C. Hcfa is a splendid opening for various ki dtt. j of mechanics among whiehis a dealer in hoots ami shoes. All the merchants keep a large assortment of goods, and find a good demand for the same. The amount of trade is large and increasing. Ido not know the amount of grain shipped this winter, but it is large for i tiie place. Farms arc being taken tip and building lots sold, and the prospect is that a large increase 1 of population win take place the coining sca son. You may wish to know the price of land, (ioed prairie as ever the sun shone upon, can lie had within four miles of the It. K. station, tor 81 per acre and upwards, farther away for from 85 to 810. Location has a great deal i to do with the price of land here. Lumber is high for liuilding purposes, hut can lie had in any quantity. The climate does not vary much herefrom northeast in the winter, while the cold weath er lasts, judging from what experience we have had, otherwise than we have less snow and rain than east. We came here the last of December, have had some cold days, but no stormy weather; not a drop of rain and not over oneninch of snow lies fell dnring the whole time. The wind is piercing when cold. The spring opens earlier than in Maine, con sequently the winters are not so long. T. C. N. domestic Krtos. (.rand lodge. I. 0. of (i. T., at Auburn null. Lewiston. April 14, 1870.

The business of the Grand Lodge is pro gressing harmoniously and will probably be finished up so as to adjourn by to-morrow nfternoon. Rcsnaji.

The Somerset Reporter says one of the j workmen on the Somerset Railroad took n i 1 novel way to return to bis boarding house at j the village from a mile above where he was at work, the other evening. Providing himself with a pole he embarked upon a floating cake of ice about ten feet square aud navigated him-1 self down the river, running within ten feetof the pier, which, if he had struck it would have j wrecked his novel craft and tent him to the j bottom. He would have worked his ice float! to the shore, but a friend went out with alioat ami relieved him. An interested crowd wit nessed the adventure from the shore. A machine for scraping the roods, which promises to he of great utility has been inven- 1 ted by \Y. 11. Doering of Saco, according to i the Biddeford Journal. It has been tested and said to work well. It consists of a ’scraper', with a nietalieedge. attached diagonally under the perches of an ordinary two horse wagon. and acting on the principle of a plane. This j shaves oil the inequalities above a certain j height and deposits its load in the holes and hollows as it passes. In Sebec, on Monday last, a boy by the name of Smart, living with Elbridge Morrill, was drowned in a brook which ran near the house.

Dr. Hit.MBOI.iv— Dear Sir: It Is with much pleasure that 1 write you upon facts respecting my self. 1 do not know hardly how to express myself. I have been for the last ten or twelve years the greatest sufferer man could be and live; but ng>re sometimes than others. The complaint was the “Kidneys” and “Bladder.” I have been sometimes from twelve to fourteen hours, and w anted to make water every minute, but could not. Have consult ed doctors, both in Massachusetts and this State, and taken pills. 1 may say. by the quart, also liq uored medicines, but found no relief from any, and got worse the last six mouths. I was so that f could scarcely get about 1 could not rest night or day. It would soon have been “all up” w ith me if I had not seen your advertisement in “The Berkshire I Courier” headed “Kulneva.” 1 read it through and j thought 1 would try it. 1 purchased a bottle, but, minu you, hurl not much faith in it. Why should 1, when 1 had been trying so many things and cost me so much Well, I organ taking it, and before I had taken the first bottle I felt bad: but 1 finished it and got another. By the lime 1 took half of the second I Ptill got worse (apparently). When I walked it seemed as if my right kidney w as falling from its place, and I felt really bad. I felt bo, before I had finished the second, that 1 had made up my mind it w as of no use trying any morn—and all this time I the “Buchu” was doing its work, but I did not know it; so 1 gave it up ami went to Hartford on Saturday to see one of the best doctors iu the city. He said it was the neck of the bladder, and I should have to undergo an ojieration. He gave me med- i ieine, and 1 went home quite downhearted. On Sunday I was unable to go to church. I had not taken any of his medicine, but on my return con tin ned using the “Buchu,” ami in the afternoon 1 had a desire to make water, but could not. About one hour after this I tried again, with the same result; but the next time 1 took the vessel it was the same as turning a faucet and stopping it off again. It was so for three times, and the third time there was something came thrdugh the passage and struck i against the side of the vessel. I examined it, and it I is the ugliest stone or gravel you ever saw, cov I ered over with little polces wliicn collided together. It looks the color of a mud turtle, and is an hard as a flint. So you see the "Buchu” was doing its w ork although J was feeling so badly. I procured an* other bottle thinking then might bo eonrn more bc hind, but since that has passed, which is eight I i weeks ago last Sunday, I have been as well as ever I w as iu mv lila. I have the stone securely wrapped and those who have seen it in this place are sur prised. 1 cannot tell you all, but this is a true story of mv case, and you are welcome to make such use of my name a§ yon think proper 1 am pretty w ell known in Berkshire; also In Connecticut.
