Christmas In Ridgcflcld.
Ma. EDITOR :-—It is a little late, but we
think your readers will be pleased to know
that we, ofthe high hills, had a most enjoy-
able Christmas. '
At the M. E. Church the audience room
would scarcely hold the throng of young
and old, who came to the children’s anniver-
sary. The house was beautifully decorated
with evergreens, heavy festoons of which
hung pendant over the platform, where the
children of the Sunday School were seated.
The exercises opened with singing, “Here
again we meet you,” and prayer by the
pastor. Then followed recitatiohs, dia-
logues, and songsby individuals and classes.
The selections were of thc'best, generally
very appropriate for the occasion, pure and
elevating in tone. The “Christmas Idyl,”
recited by three young girls, was a gem of
beauty, and still lingers a lovely_picture in
the memory. The two tiny little folks,a
boy and girl, carried the house by their
graceful bits of song and acclimation. They
will not be soon forgotten. The original
chapter of chronicles, giving a review of
Christmas doings last year, created a gene-
ral buzz, and still continues the topic of
conversation in many families. The sing-
ing, throughout, was of the best, showing
excellent taste in the selection, and skill in
training. The school had voted to dispense
with their usual presents from the Christmas
tree, and devote their offerings to the relief
of the sufferers by the late fires in Michigan,
and thus fulfill the: scripture word “It is
more blessed to give than to receive.” Over
fifty dollars were given, the young people
doing their part nobly. After a few‘ words
of good cheer from - the pastor, and the
closing good night song, refreshments were
served to young and old in the lecture room
when all retired, well pleased with this very
pleasant Christmas anniversary. *

The weather during several days last week
was more like March than January, and
many flattered themselves that we were to
have an open'winter after all. It may be so,
but we remember how it was in January,
1853. Then we had a similar warm spell,
which continued until the 11th,but during
the succeeding night the wind veered info
the cast, it began to snow, and before 12
o’clock next day there was fully two feet of
snow on the ground, which remained on un-
til March. It will not surprise us to see a
repitition of this occurrence. History re-
peats itself, they say. Why maynot weath-
er history do the same? I V PAUL.

The Reformed Crows.
Colonel B——— has one of the best farms
on the Illinois river. About one hundred
acres of it are now covered with waving
corn. . When it came up in thetSpring, the
crows seemed determined on its entire
destruction. When one was killer], it seem:
ed as though a dozen came to its funeral;
and though the sharp crack of the rifle often
drove them away, they always} returned
with its echo. The colonel at length be-
came weary of throwing grass, and resolved
on trying the virtue of stones. He sent to
the druggist for a gallon of alcohol, in which
he soaked a few quarts of corn, and scatter-
ed it over his field. The blacklegs came
and partook with their usual relish, and, as
usual, they were pretty well corned ; and
such a cooing and cawing—such strutting
and staggering I When the boys attempted
to catch them, they were not avlittle am ed
at their staggering gait,_nnd their zi ng
course through the air. At length thev
gained the edge of the woods, and there be-
ing joined by a new recruit, which happenl
ed to be sober, they united, at the top of
their voices, in haw-haw-hawing, and shout-
diflicult to tell which, as they rattled away
without rhyme or reason. ut the colonel
saved his corn. As soon as they became
sober, they set their faces steadfal’stly against.
alcohol. Not another kernel would they
touch in his field, lest it should contain the
accurSed thing, while they went and pulled
up the corn of his neighbors. They have
too high a respect for their character, black
as they are, again to be found drunk.

“Why don’t you pray ?" he exclaimed, sur-
prised out of his politeness. “Well, Wattle.
smapose you pray.” It was an unexpected
turn of affairs, but he was equal to the oc-
casion. “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall
not want ; for Jesus Christ’s sake, Amen,”

The Cause and Dale of Consumption.
The primary cause of Consumption is derangement
of the digestive organs. This dcrangementprouuces
deficient nutrition and assimilation. by assimila-
tion I mean that process by which the nutrimeul. of
the food is converted into blood, and thence into
the solids of the body'. Persons with digestion
thus impaired, having the slightest predisposition to
pulmonary disease. or if they take cold, Will be very
liable to have Consumption of the Lungs in some of
its forms : and I hold that it. will be impossible to
cure any case of Consumption Without ltrst restor-
ing a good digestion and healthy ssnimiiatude, The
very first. thing to be dune is to cleanse the _s.omach
and bowels from all diseased mucus and slimewvhicb
is clogging these organs so that. they can not perform
their luucnious, and then rouse up and restofe the
liver to a healthy action. For this purpose, the
surest and best remedy is Schenck’s Mandrake Pills.
'I‘hese Pills cleanse the stomach and bowelslof all
- the dead and morbid slime that is causing disease
and decay in the whole system. They will clear out
the liver of all diseased bile that has accumulated
there, and arouse it up to a. new and healthy action
by which natural and healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus cleansed
by the use of Scheuck’s Mandrake Pills ; but. there
remains in the stomach an excess of acid, the organ
is torpid, and the appetite is poor. In the bowels,
the lacteals are weak, and requiring strength and
support. It is in a conditionzl‘lke this that Schenck’s
Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valuable rem-
edy ever discovered. It is alkaline, and its use will
neutralize all excess of acid, making the stomach
sweet: and fresh ;It will give permanent tone to this
important organ, and create a good, hearty appetite,
and prepare the system for the first process of a
good digestion, and ultimately make good, healthy,
living blood. After this preparatory treatment,
what remains to cure most cases of consumption In
the free and persevering use of Schenck’s Pnlmonic
Syrup. The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system,
purifies the blood, and is readily absorbed into the
circulation, and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs. There it ripcns all morbid matters, whether
in the form of abscess or tubercles, and then assists
Nature to expell all the diseased matter in the form
of free expectoration. when once it ripens. It is
.then, by the great healing and» purifying properties
ofSchenck’s Pulmonlc Syrup,that all ulcers and cavi-
ties are healed up sound, and my patient. is cured.
The essential thing to be done in caring Con-
sumption is to get up a goodvappetite and a good
digestion, so that the body will grow in flesh and
gel. strong. Ifa person has diseased lungs, a cavity
or abscesss there, the cavity cannot heal, the matter
cannot ripen, as long as the system is below par.
What is necessary to cure is a new order of things, a
good appetite, a good nutrition, the body to row in
flesh and get fat ; then Nature is helped, I: e cavi-
ties will heat, the matter will ripen and be thrown
ofl‘iu large quantities, and the person regain health
and'strength. This is the true and oulg plan to.
cure Consumption, and if a person Is very ad, If the
lungs are not entirely destroyed, or even if one lung
is entirely gone. it there is eunugil vitality left in
the other to heal up, there is hope.
I have seen many persons cured with only one
sound lung, living and enjoy life to a ood old age.
This is what. Schenck’s medicines wi I do to cure
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach,
sweeten and strengthen it, get. up a good digestion,
and give Nature the assistance she needs to clear the
system ofull the disease that sis in the lungs, what-
ever the form may be.
Itis important that, while using Scheuck's medl-
cines, care should be exercised not to take cold keep
in-doors in cool and dulnp weather; avoid night air,
and take out-door exercise only in a. genial and
warm synsbine.
I wish it: distinctly understood that when I recom-
mend a patient to be careful in regard to taking cold
while using my medicines, I do so for a special rea-
son. A man who has but; partially recovered from
theefl'ects of a bad cold is far more liable to a re-
lapsc than one who has been entirely cured, and it is
precisely the same in regard to consumption. 80
long as the lungs are not perfectly healed, Just so
long is there imminent danger ofa tuil return ofthe
disease. Hence it is that I so strenuously caution
pulmonary patients against ex osiug themselves to
an atmosphere that is not genia and pleasant. Con-
firmed consumptives’ lungs are a mass of sores.
which the least change of atmosphere will inflame.
The grand secret of my success with my medicines
consists in my ability to subdue inflammation Instead
of provoking it, as many of the faculty do. An In-
flamctl lung cannot with safety to the patient be ex-
posed to the biting blasts of winter or the chilling
winds ot‘spring or autumn. It should be carefully
shielded from all irritatiuginfluences. ’I‘lte- utmost
caution should be observed In this articular, us
withoutit acure under almost any c umstanceis
ll] impossibility. .
The person should be kept on a wholesome and
nutritious diet, and all the. medicines continued
until the body has restored to it the natural quantity
of flesh and s:rength.
'1 was myselfcured by this treatment of the worst
kind of Consumption. and. have lived to get- fal. and
hearty these many years, with one lung mostly one.
I have cared thousands since, and very many ave
been cured by this treatment whom I have never

' It were shown some time since a statement 0
\V the condition of the Agricultural Insurance
Company. and were of the opinion. ”the “cures
were correct. that. the Company had a fulrslarlDrng,
and consented to let .the Agentrel‘er an ingulrer to
us if our opinion was desired. We never Intended
to appear as solicitors for thgt Company, and never
assented to the publication or our names. Ofcourse
we know nothing about the correctness oftlte tig-
urcs, and could only say thou if cert-centric Company
appeared to stand well. We lta‘. r. that. opinion of
manyCompcuies. But as to what. we gctlmllg know,
we say there is ONLY ONE INSURANCE Cour. ,-
NY of whose condition we have uctna‘. Knowledge.
That Companyis the ‘

We know about that, for its money matters are
under our oflicinl and personal knowledge: we know
itis in good condition, takes risks in proportion to
Its ..ctual means, and does not owea dollar for-losses
and that no man holds against It a claim for a single
dollar of loss. We confidently recommend this
