A HUNDRED YEARS AGO!

How Seth Warner Won d Wile and Became Famous. Colonel Seth Warner,of Vermouty the famous hero of the Revolutionary, war, was a leading fighter for the Hampshire rppantfa;..* '■ . ■ - These titles were disputed by the State of New York, and its authorities obtained an edict of the King of England in their favor. The settlers were stung by the supposed injustice. This state of things brought Colonel Seth Warner to the front. With Ethan Allen and others he actively opposed every effort of the New York state authorities to enforce possession, and he, with Allen and others, were outlawed and a price put on their heads. To circumvent New Yoik.it was nec essary that some one should go into that State and gain required information. Colonel Warner, assuming for safety the name of “Dr. Howard,” undertook this perilous and romantic journey. While on his way home he slopped at. a country inn, where an old gentleman and daughter weye enow bound. The) father fell ill and the daughter called upon Colonel Warner, who, with his wide knowledge of simple remedies, sue cessfully treated the “old man,” and he finally won this devoted woman wife. Such incidents were not uncommon in those years, When the doctor was not easily reached, months of sickness, and even life, were often saved by some unprofessional friend versed in the use of simple herbs and roots. The health of early settlers, and their powers of endurance convince us that such medicines did only good and left no poison in the blood to work as much injury to the system as would the disease itself. In time of peace the Colonel was in constant demand for his knowledge of simple remedies and their power over disease. But it was left to another of. hisnameof the present age to give to the public what was then used with such positive success. Warner for over a hnndred years has shared with Ethan Allen the admiration of the American people. Colonel Seth Warner belongs to a family of wide distinction; no less than eight members thereof won fame in the regular practice of medicine. Looking to the adoption by the people of this generation of the old time simple remedies, his direct descendant, H. H. Warner, the well-knowD proprietor of Warner’s safe cure, for many years has been experimenting with old lime roots and herbs formulse and, his search having been finally rewarded with success, he gives the world the result. These recipes and formulae in other days accomplished great things Decanse they were purely vegetable and combined so as to cure the disease indicated, without injury to the system. In harmony with their old time character, we learn that he proposes to call them Warner’s Log Cabin Remedies, using as a trade mark an old-fashioned American log cabin. We understand that he intends to put forth a “Sarsaparilla” for the blood, the sarsaparilla itself being but one of a number of simple. ans effective elements; “Eogf'Eabin Hops and Buchu,” a general stomach, tonic andinvigorator: “Log Cabin Cough and Consumption Remedy,” “Warner’s Log Cabin Scalping” for the hair; a preparation for that universal disease catarrh, called “Log Cabin Rose Cream,” “Warner’s Log Cabin Piasters;” and Warner’s Log Cabin Liver Pills,” which are tu be used in connection, with the other remedies, or independently, as required. Warner’s safe remedies are alr< ady standards of the most pronounced scientific value in all parts of the world, and we have no doubt the Log Cabin Remedies, for the disease they are intended to cure, will be of equal merit, for Mr. Warner has the reputation cf connecting his name with no preparation that is not meritorious.

Black River Fails, Wia Exporting Apples. New York Mail and Express. “Wuat can I tell you about shipping apples tp Europe? A great deal,” an exporter says: “In the first place, America is sending over 800,000 barrels of apples a year to London, Liverpool and Glasgow alone. The bulk of these go during the winter months, at the rate of from 40,000 to 70,000 barrels a week. New York ships the most, Boston comes next and Montreal third. Portland, Me., handles a great many, and .* Annapolis, Md , forwards the Southern fruit.” • How are they packed?” ‘ln barrels made for the p.urpcse. Only sound fruit is used. The first liyer is placed in the bottom stems downward, the others are put in until there appears to De one layer too many, and then the head is placed on these and forced into thg, barrel withaecrew press. The head is then nailed in, and any amount of hauling will not shake the apples.” Seeingthe World (or Himself.
