EVENING STAR. ON LICKER DRINKIN’. 1 about the “‘Skwirt”’ Incthyacetettucky ey And now I tewn my harp To uther subjecs.

EE —————— “A HIGH OLD rouRTH or JuLy.’’—The Alba- ny Knickerbocker says: “Anong the gentlemen who went In fora ‘high old Pourth of July,’ was a man by the name of Snyder, of Schenectady. Mr. 8. left home for Albany with a new suit of clothes and forty dollars in money. He returned with no money at all, and a pair of nine-shilling breeches, which some body got him to put on to ‘ran a race with;’ Mr. S- being, as his friend alleged, ‘too heavy for speed’ with his own taloons. Mr. S. says he does not care for is money, but he should very much like to see ‘them trousers in’—cause why, in right-hand pocket is a letter from his ‘Betsy Ann,’ which he would not lose for a ‘world of gold framed in with alabaster.’ ”’ > Many years ago, not far off, a certain justice was called to jail to liberate a worth- less debtor, by receiving his oath that he was not worth five dollars. “‘Well, Johnny,”’ said the Justice, as he entered, ‘‘can you swear that you are not worth five dollars, and never will be ?"’ “Why,” answered the other, rather cha- grinned at the question, “Iean swear that I am not worth that sum at present.”” “Well, well,’’ returned the justice, “I ean Swear to the rest—so step forward Johnny.”” Maryriaxp Harvest.—Our exchanges in the counties continue to bring us favorable re- ports concerning thecrops. The Howard Ga- zettte states that harvesting is nearly over in that county and adds: “‘The harvest home’ is more abundant than has been known for years past."’ The Annapolis Republican gives in three lines, the -‘harvest nearly completed’’ in that courcy, and the promise of a ‘fine yicld.”” [One of the curiosities to be sent from Prague to the Paris Exhibition is a mite of Jewelry, consisting of 15,000 garnets, which vary in dimensions from the smallest size to such larger ones as are ro longer to be met with in the trade. Added to the garnets are 6,000 other stoner, and the workmanship is said to be as exquisite as unique. & > A beautiful thought this which we find in one of our exchanges : ‘* If there is a man who can eat his bread in with God and man, it is the man who as brought that bread out of the earth. It is cankered by no fraud, it is wet by no tears, it is stained by no blood. Guserar Smieips a Farurr.—Gen. Shields says in a late letter to a friend, which we have been permitted to see, that he is farming a settlement about fifty miles from St. Paul, on the highway to St. Peters, where he expects soon to have one of the best settlements in the territory.—Chicago Press, July 4. &% The uniform of the colored soldiers of Liveria, as prescribed by President Roberts, must make a splendid show in contrast with ebony. It is yellow leather gaiters, from the ankle to the knee; red cloth pantaloons down to the gaiters ; iron-gray cloth short coats, with’ Ted facings; blue cloth waistcoats, and red felt caps with blue strings. An Irishman who had been fined sever- al weeks in succession for getting drunk, cool- Jy proposed to the judge that he should take him by the year at a reduced rate. haciteneminiethiiammemenmmasee _—_— MOVEMENTS OF OCEAN STEAMERS.

Jackson, Philadelphia—Dear Sir: 1 have been a subject of ih is a mre in its worst form, for the last five years. Sueh was my condi- tion for twelve months that the ‘icians and al] Re saw me said I must die. ile in this con- ition I was carried to the in Vir- ginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, but was not benefitted by any water to which I was taken. While on my way home I stopped a week at Ruth- erfordton, a s vi in North Carolina, to try the effect of some Chalyheate water in that face. About the last of the week I went intoa nee store to get some medicine for my child and myself. There were several of the vi! physi- cians in the store, and one of them seemed to take some interest in | case, and, after asking me some questions, said he had been a By and had been tly benefitted by the use OOF- LAND’S GERMAN BITTERS, pre by you, and he insisted that I would try the Bitters. He also called the next day at my room, and in- sisted so much that I try them that I asked him to get me one bottle. He did it, and I com- menced taking it as directed, and I was more ben- efitted by it than all the water and medicine I had ever taken. After reaching home one of my neighbors came to me for a prescription and icine, (he a dys- ptic,) and I gave him nearly all the Bitters I fan left, which effected much good in his case. He has often called on me for more of the same kind of medicine, saying he was more benefitted by it than any other he had taken, but I have not been able to get any more for him or myself since ; will you, therefore, please ship me a dozen or more as soon as ible. Respectfully, yours, W. SMITH. D.R. HOOKER, Roger's Store, Wake Co., N.
