Vegetables, either cooked or raw, are mueh relished also,and serve in some meas‘ure to supply the place of green diet. Onions chopped fine and mixed with their food are exceedingly wholesome, and if not a cure are certainly a preventive: of disease in many instances. Growing chickens are even more anxious for green food than laying ‘hens. They crave it,and when necessary to be housed from it on account of inclement weather, it should be provided for them. There is no food so wholesome for them as onion tops cut. up fine. b j |eet e A i ; THE space set apart for the United States in the Paris Exposition is 40,000 square feet.

' NOBLESVILLE NARRATIVES. & 'The drug store in this place was burglarized last night, and between $25 and $3O were taken. Sharp detectives are on the look-out for the thieves.. Ido not like to say we live in one of the worst places in Northern’ Indiana, but it certainly is a fact. Citizens, can’t some plan be taken to ferret out these depredations? Is it possible that something can’t be done? Can it be that there is a clique in our midst that can’t be hunted out? The depredators certainly are right among us. Call a meeting and come together, and see if some plan can’t be brought about that will be of some use. I think there is; in fact I know there is. These things have gone far enough. Something must be done, and that soon. Don’t delay.

A few of the young bloods had too much snakes, kicked up a muss, and we are told the Rochester lad came out second best; namely, with an enlarged proboscis.

I also lost small pieces of one at different times, : Matggrs ran on thus about seven dyears, till in May, 1874. when a friend recommended me to go to your office, and talk with you of the virtue of Vegerine, I didso, and by your kindnees passed ‘through your manufactory, noticing the ingredients, &c., bf which your remedy is prodnce%. By what I saw and heard I' gunined some confidence in VEGETINE. : : I commenced taking it soon after, but felt worse from its effects; stilll persevered, and soon felt it was benefitting me in other respects. Yet I did not see the results I desired till I had taken it faithfally for a little more than a year when the difficulty in the back was cured; and for nine moenths I have enjoyed the best of health. I have in that time gained twenty-five pounds of flesh, being heavier than ever before in my life, and I was never more'able to perform labor than now. § 4 During the past few weeks I had a scrofulous swelling as large as my fist gather on another part'of my body. - : : I took Veeerine faithfully, and it removedit level with the surface in a menth, I think I should have been cured of my main trouble soon-~ er if [ had taken larger doses, after having become accustomed to Its effects, : Let your patrons troubled with scrofula or kidney disease understand that it takes time to ‘cure chronic diseases; and, if they will patiently take VeaeTliNg, it will, in my judgment, cure them.
