Holloway’s Ointment and Pills.—Look to Lour children. — Diseases incident to early life iall more under the management of the mother then tlie medical man. Wereparents duly impressed with the preservative power possessed. Holloway’s Ointment in fully bringing out the resh in measles and scarlatina the bills of mortality ’would not weekly register 58 deaths against the former and 50 against the latter disease. This valuable Ointment may be rubbed twice daily upon the throat or chest of the youngest invalid with a soothing rather than annoying effect. When the child is placable and obedient, Holloway’s Pills should be likewise given ; but not if their administration tease the infant as the Ointment unaided will certainly, though more gradually, cure.— Advt.

The weevil produce from 70 to 90 eggs which laid so many grains of corn become larvm and soon eat up the com Now swallows hedge sparrows and other small birds live principally upon grubs caterpillars and otherinsects and animalcules which prey on and destroy the products of agriculture. Ten swallows were recently killed and dissected and in their stomachs were found the remains of 5,182 insects which must have been the result of a very few hours feeding. We trust that our farmers will be induced to make over this matter and will not join in unreasoning crusade against sparrows and waterwagtails on account of the good supper at the Toad under the Harrow and of the conviviality of the feast over the dead bodies of larks wrens, finches, white throats, and others of the feathered songsters, whoso notes, for pnrity, richness, melody and variety, wc will back against the boistcring glee of all the bacchanals who ever assembled at the “Toad under the Harrow” aforesaid.— West Surrey Times.
