FARM, 4URDEX AND HOUSEHOLD. Cmtln the Ornni. W. A. Anmtroiift,-editor of the Jim bandman nnd efpbrrtnrv 6t thd Now York State Orange, opened tho discussion be fore the Elmira farrnerB' club, by re ferring to a statement made by a member nt a previous meeting that the principal reason of our light grass in these latter years is in tho practice of close mowing by machines, which ho believed was cor rect. We cut oni'grivss at a season when the snn is pouring nymn the meadows his fiercest heat. we remove the natural protection, exposing the bulbous roots or tho timothy to bnrmnsr lient. whereby they are injured, their vitality wcaseueci it lite is not destroyed. omo times there is complete destruction, without doubt.-. A few years ago wo had no complaint about meadows ' run ning out." Now there is general uneasi ness about the grass supply, for good meadows are exceptions and there is great difficulty ovcrywhore in establish ing permanent grass. As a reason for hargiug this to close mowing it may bo stated that there are many rough meadows in our acquaintance which have boon cut only by tho scythe, and the sod remains firm and the crops good. This may not bo conclusive against tho close cutting, for it may be said that puch pieces aro generally newer, mid that they have not abstracted the ele ments of growth; but it tends to estab lish the theory that 'our mowing ma chines liavo caused our distress in this matter. It is hoped that farmers will raiso their cutter-bars throueh the n proaching hnyiug, that wo may see if beneficial rosults will follow. There will be but little loss if the stubble be left as long as by baud-mowing, giving proteC' lion to tno roots. Uertamly there is somewhere a cause for the ilt-torioration of our meadows, nnd if it should prove to exist in too closo cutting, wo want tho fact known. Curing Hon-ril Corn. Let tho crop grow until it begins to ripen. This is a particular point in the curing of this crop, for when the lower leaves begin to turn yellow, it is ' a sign that the sacchariuo matter is being con verted into sugar, and that there is less water to dry out than at any time pre vious to this, consequently the cri p is more valuable thnu when cut sooner. Tho ground having been rolled smooth, I can cut tho crop with my reaper closo to the ground. 1 thou let it lie in the mm two or three days, then rake with a horserako nnd eoek ut. nml nllmv it t cure for four or tivo days, when it can bo uuiuru 10 wnere i wish to leed it. 1 usually put it in small stacks, and havo but little more trouUo with it than I do with timothy hay. Fight tlio Inserts. From many quarters we learn of fcar- liuiuvagesoi insects, ihe cniiKer-worm is ravaging orchards and defoliating the elms, poplars, bass nnd birch trees. In some sections, ncres nnd ncres of forest growth is looking ns though it had been visited by a tiro which had tak en every leaf from the trees. Tho true tent caterpillar is working sad havoc in many orchards, although they are not so numerous as in some years previous. The currant worm has also appeared in countless rmnilim-si tlivonfmii,. i,. . ' j ... ...... v o w J 1 ' struction of this useful fruit. Maine farmer. The Jews.

C 1.1. . 1 ' 1 . i n mo vi me Biigutesi renection upon our faith, how indignant at the most harm less criticism of our institutions I And, strange to say, how many of us there are who find excuses for still grumbling that prejudice against our raco has not yet altogether died out I It is certainly astonishing that a nation which has en dured so much bitter persecution in the past should bo so impatient of the merest breath of intolerance in their present vastly improved condition. For our condition is vastly improved; im proved so much, indeed, that it is safe to say that we are now no worse off than any other people; nnd, in many respects, we are better off than others. True, there are a few (perhaps not n dozen) second rate hotels, in a few ob scure summer resorts, whose proprietors "do not receive Jews." But what of that i Does that prove that the Jews are, as some nsHrt still lmfirl on I -J ' . - """..I ..UU WOMl?lU ns social outcasts ? Not at all. It simply proves tnat some m-ured Jews of tho lower classes have frequented these second-rate lintels themselves (as it is tho habit of ill-bred peopie or nil races to do), and that the proprietors, and a few ignorant people among their guests, mistaking these per sons for representatives cf our race, de termined to exclude in future all Jews indiscriminately. Let some gentleman visit one of these exclusive hotels, hav ing first ascertained that there aro rooms unoccupied and for rent, demand ac comodations, get refused, and then, by way of making a test case, institute pro ceedings at law ngainst the proprietor. We certainly have no reason to inveigh against the prejudice of a people because of tho stupidity of a handful of block heads, to whom prejudieo comes as naturally as thintles. to asses. . The Changes lu Our Postage. In 1792 the first postage act was passed in this country. Every separate sheet of paper, large or small, without reference to weight, was considered a letter, and two or three small pieces in one envoi ope paid double or triple postage. The lowest rate was six cents to places within thirty miles, eight cents to places within sixty miles, ten ceuts to places within one hundred miles, and so on up to places within four hundred and fifty miles, tho postage then being twenty five ceuts. In 17U'J a new law was passed changing the rates. The lowest rate was eight cents, and the lowest dis tance was forty miles. In 1816 the minium rates were again reducod to six cents, and the distance to thirty miles, only five rates being established. Eight een and one-half cents carried letters four hundred miles, and for a longer dis tance twenty-five cents were charged. These rates continued until 1845, when the first material reduction took place. Five cents became the postage of letters carried a distance of lees than three hundred miles, and ten cents for a greater distance. At the same time the drop letter system was introduced, tho postage on such being fixed at two ceut3. In 18i5 the hidf ounce weight was made the standard instead of the number of sheets. In 1851 the single rate was made three cents for all dis tances under three thousand miles, and six cents for greater distances, if prepaid, this being the first inducement held out to prepay postage. Unpaid letters were charged five and ten cents, according to distance. In 1855 piepayment was re quired, the rate as to distance remaining the same. In 18C3 the present rate of three cents, prepaid, for all distances, wu established. A Woman with a Wicked Mania. The London Neil's hns received the following narrative from tho secretary of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals: It will be remem bered that on two different occasions during the past three yearn proceedings have been taken ngainst Mrs. Chantrell by this society for cruelly starving a large number of cata and dogs at Tier house in Iiottingdean, near Brighton. It was determined to senrch her honse, to which she offered such resistance that it was necessary for tho offioei-s to force their way. An indescribable Hpcuo of misery and suffering pervadod tho place. The attenuated frames of ' living cats were found with ; the oarensses of doad animals, and iu a cupboard skeletons of upwards of fifty cats wore disclosed. In other places a number of dogs were found in the last state of emaciation and disease, upon seeing which the veterinary surgeon assured Mrs. Chantrell it was was an act of cruelty to permit any of her animals to live. The actual back bone of one of tho dogs was exposed to view, and another dog, a shriveled, wan looking creature, gave birth to a pup during the visit, and, being pressed by hunger, shortly afterwards devoured it. Those persons who witnessed the eager, ravenous struggles of tho wretched brutes to obtain food which was thrown amongst them will never forget tho scene of weakness and ferocity which followed. Mrs. Chantrell obstructed the search with threats of violeuco and per sistently refused to permit any of the animals to bo destroyed. Her loud lan guage caused a large crowd to assemble) round tho house, which at one ' time threatened to break in for the purpose of putting an end to the cruelty and venting their indignation on the strango person who had caused it. Tho police managed, however, to keep tho crowd back, and a sufficient quantity of poison having been procured, tho whole of the animals, excepting two, were put out of their misery. These extraordinary pro ceedings caused great excitement, which was protracted by Mrs. Chnudrell's will ful resistance until midnight, tho entire neighborhood having turned out to wit ness tho termination of a uui.sanee as well ns the cruelty to tho animals which havo unhappily been continued by her for three or four years in defiance of the magistrates, tho police and this so ciety. . ' Incidents of the Flood. Tho following are among the numerons incidents related in the Paris journals: In the flooded plain between St. Jory and Casteluan, a boat containing fifteen persons came into collision with a poplar tree and was upset. Fonrteen of these were drowned, nnd the survivor, a girl fifteen years of age, has lost her reason. At Anterive a family of four persons took refuge iu tho branches of an elm, a great part of which was swept nwny by the torrent, and tho four people clinging to its branches were drowned. At Roques and at Pinsaguel, it is stated, the crosses, the Btatues of the Virgin, and tho imnges of the saints, are the only things that tho waters have spared. A poor peasant woman in this district remarked: " God punishes France. In the north it has been war; in tho south it is the inundations. It is time for us to open our eye.?." At St. Gaudens a Newfoundland dog saved in succession twelve persons, dashing into the rushing torrent bravely, but making the attempt a thirteenth timo the poor animal was drowned. At Huos, at the confluence of the Garonne, tho family of a M. Tour ment had succeeded iu getting into a boat, which was overturned. M. Tour ment the younger, however, with des perate efforts, managed to save all his relatives. Iu the apartment for the injured at the Hotel Dieu, in St. Cyprien, is a young man whose foot has been much hurt. Unaided he had saved sixty persons. At Ca-stelsarrasiu ayouug mother took her two infants (twins at the breast), tied them together, and placed them iu a large wooden trough, used for kneading bread, and committed it to tho waves, hoping that it would save her children's lives, ns she felt that her house was about to fall. The im provised boat swam safely for a time, but soon afterward tho current dashed it against the trunk of a tree, where it was broken. Tho poor woman, to whom maternal love gave a superhuman force, succeeded in seizing a branch and climbed into the tree. But it was too weak and began to crack ominously. She then rapidly tied the infants to a branch, kissed them, mado the sign of the cross, and leaped into the waves. Tho two little twins were saved, but the devoted mother was drowned. A Vision of Death. Sheriff Ramsey, nt Ellis, on the Kansas Pacilio railroad, got after a thief with the determination to catch him or rjorish in tho nttempt. Tho desperate character of the hunted man was well known. He was a daring marauder, and, having long lived in defiance of the law, it was pretty certain he would not allow himself to be taken alive. Mrs. Ramsey, the wife of tho sheriff, was extremely anxious for the safety vf her husband, and dreamed a bad dream one night. Sho was terribly uisiressoci auout it, ami expressed the conviction that her husband was killed. She enlisted tho sympathies of a Dr. O'Briou, of Ellis, and tho two started out toward Hays, where tho sheriff was supposed to be in quest of his game. On the journey the doctor and Mrs. Ramsey met a wagon ten miles from Stockton, containing the corpse of the sheriff, shot through the body in his encounter with the thief. The sight of hr dead hus band dethroned Mrs. Ramsey's reason, and she is now a raving maniac Her dream was fulfilled in every particular. Many miles nway she saw her husband firo the first shot at the thief, hitting him. They both fired simultaneously. The thief fell dead with a bullet in his heart. Mr. Ramsey fell also, mortally wounded, the ball having passed entirely through his body. Ho lived only an hour. All these things happened in reality. Then the woman saw the wagon starting with her husband's lifeless body in it. When Mrs. Ramsey, -traveling with the doctor, saw the wagon on ho road she knew it afar off. It was all very like a dream even to the doctor, as he drove along with the woman, whose vision was turned in the direction of the unknown, which she piercad ho clearly. Her eyes are still looking for the coming of her husband, and they will look va forever. To her he is not dead, but coming.. She stumbled over his corpse, and in her mind he rose from the dead. Horse' Disease lu Connecticut. The New Haven Journal says that 'a new horse disease- bos broken 'out in East Hartford, and several animals are stricken with it. It is entirtdy different from the epizootic, comes in a different attack, and so far as is known; is fatal. The hind part of the animal seems to be come paralyzed, while he froths and foams at the mouth. No reason has yet been ascertained for the cause of the dis ease, . . j .v - i- ' . SUMMARY OF NEWS.

The Great Medical Reformation. The sutanio theory that preparations which inflame the brain are, in any sense of the word, remedies, has been overthrown, and can never be re-established. Tho wonderful effects which have attended . tho use of Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitters as an antidote to the causes of disease and a cure for every controllable ailment, have demonstrated the utter fallacy of tho doctrine that alcohol is a touio as well as a stimulant. The uew and incomparable vegetable remedy winch has superseded the death draught of rum bitters is as free from every intoxicating element as the dew of heaven, yet seo how it is invigorating the nervous, relieving the bilious, curing tho dyspeptio, purifying the blood of the sorofulous, strengthening the debili tated, arresting premature decay, and replacing despondency and weakness with cheerfulness and activity. Truly a grand medical revolution is iu progre?, A Ken Use for Cork. A company is said to have recently been formed in Taris for the purpose of tosting the non-conducting property of oork. A number of steam pipes" at several . important establishments had been covered with cork, and it is said that, after standing some eighteen months, the covering remains intact, and is as perfect a non-conductor as ou the day it was laid. Although the durability of cork had been proved before, in the case of buoys, which are partly immersed aud partly exposed to the weather, its ability to stand such high tomporaturos fcs those of surfaces intensely heated by steam had not before been shown. The lightness of cork j the readiness with which it yields so as to surround cylin ders or pies ; the facility with which it is put iu its place, taken down and put up again in the case of the inspection or repairs of a boiler or steam pipe, to gether with tho fact that its non-conducting power effects a great deal of fuel, are regarded by engineers as greatly in its favor for the outer coating of steam vessels.

Walker's talilornia vin egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from tbo na tive herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. Tho question is almost daily aBked, " What is tho cause of the unparalleled success of Vineoar Bit ters!" Our answer Is, that they remove the cause of disease, nnd the patient re covers his health. Thoy aro the great blood pui fier and a lifo-giving principle, a porfee Renovator and Invigorator of tho r fstom. Never before in the history o tho world has a medicine been oompoun 3d possessing tho remarkable qualities f Vinegar Bitters in healing tha. Bick or e cry disease man is neir 10. rney nro a go tie Turpative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inllammation of tho Liver Rid Visceral Organs in Bilious DisenBcs Tho properties of Dr. Walker's riNKQARBiTTKtts are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretio, Sedative Counter-irritant Sudorilic, Altera tive, am'i Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vnr egar Bitters the most wonderful In Vigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bone3 aro not do stroyed by mineral poison or othei moans, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious. Remittent and Inter, mitteut levers, which aro so preva lent in tlio valleys of our great rivers throughout tho United States, especially those of tbe Mississippi. Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee. Cumberland, Arkan sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Kio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobilo, Savannah, Ko anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea sons of' unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de rangements of the stomach and liver, and othor abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon theso various or gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for tho purpose eqnal to Dr. i. Walker's Vinegar Bitteri, as they will speedily rcmovo tho dark colored viscid matter with which the bowels aro loaded, at the same time stimulating tho secretions of tho livor and generally restoring tho healthy functions of tbo digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Tlead ache, Pain in tho Shouldors, Coughs Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of tho Stomach, Bad Taste in tho Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita tation of tho Ileart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of tho Kid neys, and a hundred other painful svtad toins, are tho offsprings of Dysptti. Ono bottlo will prove a better guaranceo of its merits than a lengthy advertise ment. Scrofula, or King's Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Morcurial A flections, Old Soros, Eruptions of tho Skin, Soro Eyes, etc. In theso, as in all other constitutional Dis eases, Walker's Vinegar Bitters have shown thoir great curative powors in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit tent and Intermittent Fevors, Diseases of the Blood, liver, Kidnovs and Bladder, those Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases. Persons en gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as thoy advanco iu life, are subject to paralysis of tho Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of Walker's Vin Buar Bitters occasionally. For Sk'in Diseases, Eruptions, Tet ter, Salt-ltheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, CaVbunclos, Ring-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyos, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of tho Skin, llumora and Diseases of tho Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up aud carried out of tbe system in a short timo by the use pf these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other "Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are eflectually destroyed and removed. No systom of medicine, no vermifuges, no an thelmiuitics will frco the system from worms liko these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo manhood, or the turn of life, theso Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse tho Vitiated Blood when ever you find its impurities bursting through the skiu iu Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it when it is foul ; your feelings will toll you when. Keep tbo blood pure, and the health of the system rui follow. it. ii. McDonald & co.. Druggists and Gen. A gtt., San Francisco, California, rod oor. of Washington and Charlton St., N. Y.
