John G. and George IIadfield of Cincinnati— At Xo. 41, Perliam Street, In Rear of Court House, On TUESDAY, October 4th, Having bought the Light to the game for This Mode of Treatment, which is being adopted by a large number of the Medical Profes sion, has become quite popular in almost every state of the Union. It has been examined by thou sands of Physicians, of all schools of medicine, and there has not been one dissenting voice to the correctness of the principle; all acknowledge that it tills a vacuum in the Science of Medicine. The sick and afflicted are demanding it everywhere. Wc have demonstrated the fact that Paralysis, Nervous Debility, Dyspepsia, Neuralgia, Gout, Consumption in its incipient stages, all Cancerous Affections, Dropsy, Varicose Veins, Weak Chests, Narrow Chests, Asthma, Weak Lungs, Weak Hacks, Weak, Stiff and Shrunken Limbs, Curvature of the Spine, and other Spinal Affections, Sciatica, Rheumatism of years standing, Spasms, Epilepsy, Palsy, St. Vitus’ Dance, Derangement of the Mind, Prolapsus Uteri, Obstructed Menstruation, with all their concomitant diseases, Impotcncy, and all kinds of weakness of the Generative Organa, CAN BE CURED. it brings a greater supply ol blood and nutrition to all weak parts, thus creating new life and tone, and health and strength in those parts. It breaks up Congestion and Inilammation by equalizing the circulation throughout every part of the system. The Senior Proprietor of the Au^uNta Vacuum Cure, Dr. C. T. Noncnoss, Is well known in this vicinity as a Skillful Physician. During the last Forty Years he practised medicine in Maine, chiefly in Bangor and vicinity. Patients can be assured that with ]iis expe rience they will have thorough treatment.— lie will have competent aid in his Associate. References of the highest character will be furnished to those desiring them. The Medical Faculty and the Afflicted, who have failed to be benefited by other modes of treatment are requested to come and test the VACUUM CURE. Office Hours9 to 12 M.. aud 2 to (J P. M.

BY ELSIE VANE. “And ye shall surely die,’’ God said, And called his angel then, who took 11 is pet), and wrote in Nature’s book These words, and all the leaves turned red. It might have been the blush of shame That rose to Nature’s cheek, when first >he knew that God the land had cursed, That blight had fallen on her name. Again on Nature’s face I see A blush, as in tl^ olden time. Although a glory half sublime Is mingled with it, seems to me Alas I alas for her sad doom, Alas! for Adam’s sin wc say, Yet Nature wears in ner decay A charm she knew not in her bloom. A softer, sweeter tenderness, As if God's angel wrote again New words of life anil hope, and thru Imparted a new loveliness. O men, who faint witli fear of death, men, who say there is no bloom. No life, no love beyond the tomb, Look on these glories and have faith. From buried ashes shall arise New forms of life, as iu decay Nature doth mould her Spring to-day, And bloom again in Paradise. $U$ccUancou!$. KEEPING CIDEK As there is a very large amount of cider now being made, it is of some conse quence to keep it in good condition, so that to whatever use it is applied, it should be pure. There has been so little made for several years past that there is but a small amount of real cider vinegar to be found. Fifty to seventy-five cents per gallon is asked for good vinegar, and the probability is that most sold at those prices is made up of articles that ought never to be used as food in any form. Vinegar at eating houses, and some ho tels, is not only not good, but is absolute ly disgusting. In some cases it is thick and ••ropy,” and in others sickening to taste and smell, and must be extremely unwholesome. In a late number of the Knoxville Whig, are some suggestions which may prove valuable to those who thiuk that eider is a healthful drink. It is as fol lows “Much of the excellence of cider de pends upon the temperature at which the tennentatiou is conducted; a point too frequently overlooked by the manufactur ers id' this liquor. As soon as expressed from the fruit, it should be strained into sulphured casks and placed in a cool situ ation where the temperature does not ex ceed 60“ Fah't—if left in the heating sun, much of the sugar is converted into vine gar by the absorption of atmospheric oxy gen, and thus the liquor becomes acid and rough. On the contrary, if the fermen tation be conducted at a low temperature, nearly the u hole of the sugar is converted into alcohol and remains in the liquor, in stead of undergoing the process of acidi fication. The acetous fermentation or the conver sion of alcohol into vinegar proceeds most rapidly at a temperature of ninety-five degrees Fahrenheit, and at a lower temper ature the action becomes slower, until at forty six degrees Fahrenheit, no such change takes place. Independently of ditt'eienees in the quality of the fruit, this is the principal cause of the superiority of the cider made by one person over anoth er, living in the same neighborhood. The one has a cooler cellar or barn than the I other to store his cider in. In practice it I has been found that sour and rough apples produce the best cider. This arises be I cause they contain the less sugar and more 1 malic acid, and the presence cf the latter impedes the conversion of alcohol into vinegar; but cider made with such apples can never equal in quality that prepared at a low temperature from fruit abounding in sugar, which, if properly strained or racked at every indication of fermentation, win seep goon mr twenty years. One very common cause of bad cider is, that it is put into unclean barrels; barrels that have become musty, or tainted in some other form, by standing through the summer with one or two gallons of dregs left in them after drawing oft' the cider. These partially putrefy and become asdis gusting ns anything else that has passed i into the putrefactive state. When the cask j is once thorough- tainted, it is very diffi cult to sweeten it again. There is a process ol cheeking the fer mentation in eider so as to keep it sweet, which may he done as follows:—Take a strip of canvass or other thick cloth, about twelve inches long and two broad; dip it into melted brimstone; when dry, light it, and suspend it from the bung-hole of a cask, in which there are a few gallons _oi eider until the match is burnt out. The cask must be stopped for an hour or more then rolled to and fro to incorporate the fumes of the match with the cider; after which it may be tilled. Sometimes this process is resulted to for the purpose ot giving an additional flavor to the eider. To etfeet this, some powdered gingei*, cloves, iVrc., may be strewed on the match when it is made. The burning of these j ingredients with the sulphur will convey somewhat of their fragrance to the whole cask of eider, lint this should be done as soon as the mous fermentation Is fully I perfected. Should fermentation return, repeat the process. If a candle goes out on being In Id in the bung-hole, fermenta i tion iias commenced again, and carbonic acid is present. Crockery, China Glass.

Prof. Barbour, of Bangor, an eloquent preacher, will occupy the pulpit of the South Congregational church in llallowell to-mor row. We regret to learn of the death of Dr. D. W. C. Chamberlain, which occurred at bis residence in Richmond, on Monday last. A writer in the Bath Times says his decease is not only a sad bereavement to bis family, but an irreparable loss to the community, and the honorable profession of which he w as a mem ber. Dr. Chamberlain was in the prime of his life and growing in usefulness. There is still considerable activity in the vicinity of the dam. The stone wall of the bulkhead is being continued to intersect with the north bulkhead. The south wall of the waste-way is being continued down on the west bank of the river. The large water wheel lias been set and workmen are getting the shutting adjusted for running the old cot ton mill. Brick work has been suspended on the new factory, and the flooring o’ the first story is being laid and otficr arrungmcnls made to protect the structure from the ravages of the inclement weather, and avoid a repetition ot last winter's experience. It is al.-o recissaiy to provide protection for the shafting of the old mill, which will run through the new. Most likely the old lactory will soon be Stall ed up, affording employment for a large num ber of operatives. The apron of the dam is approaching completion, and is receiving its ballast. It took all the fornoun yesterday in eouit Jo finish the Cullinan case. The jury gave the plaintiffs a verdict for $400. No STS, Janu s W. Bradbury als. vs. George Cony. In t!iis action the plaintiffs, owners of the Smith and Bradbury block on Water strict, art seeking to establish the center line ot the wall between them and the defendant's blot k. now the Cony House, as the dividing line of the estates. After a partial opening ot the ease, it appearing that the question at t -tie i> mainly one ot law rather than fact, the par ties agreed to withdraw the ease from the jury and report the same to the full court lor their decision.

Some discussion took place in the morning between the court and counsel as to tile as signment of a day lor tile trial i t lluswill. 1; was finally arranged for the trial to commence Monday atternoou. November 2urth coat. Forty-eight hours alter the hist coat of paint is applied, the cloth is in condition for painting- This operation is performed in an upper story. Pads smeared with the several colors wanted are on revolving tables; over each pad hangs a pot of appropriate paint, and a brush wherewith to apply it to the pad. By each table stands two workmen; before them is a stationary table across which lies the cloth they arc painting, and beyond this still a tier of racks lor the painted goods to dry cn. ju?t as in the paint-room below. The painting is done from wooden blocks of the proper pattern, and generally eighteen inches square. Each I dock paints only one color, so that there must be as many blocks as there are colors. The workman turns to the re volving table, seizes a block from the freshly painted pad upon which it is lying, lays it carefully upon the cloth, presses it elose by thumping it w ilii an iron maul, and return." i: to the pad. One color being disposed of, lie pushes the revolving table until it brings the next block within reach. In this way he uses block sifter bloc k until nil the colors have been applied and the figure on that portion ot the carpet now before him is complete. The cloth is then drawn forward eighteen inches, aim uihhiiu si'ui >n i»i u receives me same treatment. 11 the cloth is wide, two men woik side by side, cadi painting half the width. The body of the paint used in paint ing the figures is composed of the best oil and white lead. Alter the printing, the fabric lies upon the racks two weeks, at the end ot which time it is dry enough to be rolled up and carried to the baking-honse. The rolls of carpeting are stood on end partially tin rolled to admit air to ail parts ol' them. The temperature of this house id, when the ear pi ting is iimt brought in, at 75 or bO d. gries Fahrenheit but during tiie three weeks* that the roll stand here, i. is raised to UU d grees. 1 his hardens the fabric sufficiently lor li e next op. ration, varnishing, which is done very mue’- like tie* printing, and by a machine in vented ly the proprietor. After the varnish is dry, the edges ot the tii*h are pared straigiit, the number of the design with which it is piintid is alii :ed to the back ot the roll, and it id ready for market. Messrs. Tage, Wilder Co., have introduced several im provements besides toe varnisidng machine. One ol tl» in relates to the paint machine, adjusting its po.ition so that the weight o the fabric shall be more uniform. Another is the scouring machine, another in the trim ming of the edges. All these applications of steam power save* labor, and secure accuracy .mu uniformity in the finished product. The use of machinery for printing the figures is. however, found to have no advantage beyond 'H\ing labor; it does well fir cheap goods. :>f\[ is no where umd f*r the first quality.

gaifg lUnitfkc JfounuiL TOP DRESSING. With regard to this mode of manuring there are various opinions; hut that it can he very profitably employed scarcely ad mits of a question. On grass lands it is generally withheld too long—until the grass roots are exhausted, and there is nothing left upon which to build up a crop. If on liigh land, top-dressing should be applied as early as immediately alter the second year's crop is taken oil, or in the j succeeding foil. Then it has vigorous roots to work upon, and by top-dressing annually, or every other year, mowing fields might be kept running for ten or fif teen years, and produce from a ton to a ton and a half annually. This would save a considerable cost in plowing, leveling and the cost of seed. On moist lands, once well set in grass, swale lands, lands on the margin of mead ows, a slight annual top-dressing will help them to produce profitable crops for fifty years in succession; and the fodder will lie good. Dry cows, young cattle and working oxen, doing moderate winter work, will thrive well upon it. Top-dressing may he applied most ad vantageously in the autumn, and about the time when we usually have plentiful rains, before setting in of winter. The manure can then be applied without injury to the ground by carting over it. and the rains will wash the soluble matters from the manure and carry them down among the roots of the plants, and will also force the coarser portions down around the stubble, to act as mulching through the winter. Other advantages are, that farm work is not so pressing as in the spring, the teams are stronger, and the carting quicker and cheaper over hard ground. Most land in New England needs deeper ploughing than has generally been prac tised. Where the subsoil is finegrained, and unctuous and close, or where there is a hard pan of good quality, deep plough ing may be at once resorted to, with de-1 cided advantage. Where the subsoil is poorer, the ploughing may still be advan tageously deepened by degrees, say an inch at each new breaking up. But in by far a majority of cases, deep ploughing may be practiced at once—indeed it may be the rule, with safety, while shallow ploughing may be the exception. Plough say, niue, ten. eleven or twelve inches in November. The subsoil turned up will frow several shades darker by spring. he frost and atmospheric influences of winter will mellow the soil. The inorgan ic elements and all latent fertility will be made more active for benefiting the crop. In spring spread the manure and plough it in or otherwise work it in or mingle it with the soil to the depth,say of four inches, or a little more or less, and you have the very best attainable conditions for realiz ing good crops. Deeper ploughing may thus be practiced than would at all times be safe or expedient, if the ploughing is delayed till spring. A correspondent of tins Times, writing from London, says: “The most extraordi nary machine in the exhibition is beyond question the one for microscope writing. This enables a person to write in the usual way, and to duplicate his writing a million times smaller, so small indeed, that it is invisible to the naked eye, yet with a pow erful microscope becomes so plain that every line ami dot can lie seen. The in ventor claims that with this instrument he can copy the entire Bible twenty-two times in the space of an inch. The Astor Libra ry, I presume, could be transferred to a sheet of note paper. Practically it will be of great service in preventing forgeries. With one of these machines, a private mark can be put on bills, so minute and perfect, that the forger can neither per ceive nor imitate it, but the batik clerk or broker, knowing where to look, can at once detect that the bill is gOnuiue. The machine is the invention of a Mr. Peters. CURE FOR Female Weakness IT8 EFFECTS lire wonderful in the relief and cure of the following Diseases: Prolapsus Uteri, Nervous Debility.

Editor Cosmopolite I desire, as an unsolici ted tribute to the merits of IIelmbold’s Buoiir, and for the benefit of those similarly afflicted a6 myself, to say that after consulting many eminent physicians and trying nearly all the best advertised remedies, in the vain hope of finding relief from aggravated kidney and bladder diseases, from which I have suffered excessively f«*r many years, good fortune finally suggested to me Helm BOLD’S BUCHU, which I commenced using with little faith, and no apparent beneficial effects for about a month. At the expiration of that time, however, I thought I commenced to experience slight relief, which encouraged me to persevere in its use, and now at the expiration of four months, although J am an infirm old man, nearly seventy-eight years of age, and consequently medicines cannot be ex pected to favorably affect me as they otherwise would, 1 have found such unshakable relict ami permanent benefit from Mr. Helmbold’s valuable discovery, that 1 feel I ought to publicly record the fact, as au acknowledgment to him, and a valuable suggestion to the public.

You are aware, as well as myself, that it has been extensively employed in the various diseases of the bladder aiid kidneys, and the reputation it has ac* qwired, in my judgment, is warranted by the facts. 1 have seen and used, as before stated, every form of Buclui—the powdered leaves, tincture fluid ex tracts—and 1 am not cognizant of any preparation of that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years’ experience ought, I think, to give me the right to judge of its merits, and, without prejudice or par tiality, I give you precedence over all others. 1 value your Kudin for its effect on patients. 1 have cured with it, and seen cured with it, more diseases of the bladder and kidneys than I have ever seen cured with any other buchu or any other proprietary compound of whatever name.

Helmbold, Druggist—Dear Sir: I have been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years with gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which time I nave used various medicinal preparations and been under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised, I consulted my family physican in regard to using your Extract Buchu. 1 did tin. because I had used a’l kinds of adver tised remedies and had found them worthless, and some quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of ever 1 fretting well, and determined to use no remedies lereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was j this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination and with his ad vice, after an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist, 1 concluded to try it. 1 commenced to use it about eight months ago, at which time I was confined to my room. From the first bottle I was astonished at the ben eficial effect, and after using it three weeks was able to walk out. 1 felt much like writing to you a full statement of my case at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, ami therefore concluded to defer, and see it it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be of greater value to you and more sat is factory to me. I am now able to Report that a cure is effected, after using the remedy for live months. I have not used any now for three months, and leel as well in all respects as I ever did. Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of the system, I do not mean to he without it whenever occasion may require its use in such affections. M.
