A RAILWAY is to be built in Palestine. It will con"
nect Jaffa with Jerusalem, and will be about forty
miles long, and with a harbor at Jaffa will cost about
a million pounds sterling.
Too M*XY. —Phillip Anthony, of Franklin county
Indiana, married five wives, three of them in Frank
lin county. All of thein still live, and to all of them )
he is legally bound. For all this he has been arres- ,
ted and placed in jail to take his trial for bigamy.
SILVER AND LEAD. —Private letters from Rockport
Indiana, speak of a great discovery recently made
near there. Colonel Woods lately bought a farm at
Grandview, five miles from Rockport, and, on pros
pecting for oil. struck a vein of lead and silver,
eighteen inches thick, which yields two ounces of
pure silver, and eight ounces of pure lead to every
pound of ore. What the extent of the vein is, is
unknown, of course. That region abounds in coal, !
and no doubt in oil; and 1 believe it is not generally j
known that the finest coal west of Pennsylvania, is j
to be had at the Rockport mines. They have only !
been open for a short time, and are scarcely known
outside their own county.
A BOY'S LAWSUIT. —Under a great tree, close to
the village, two boys found a walnut. "It belongs
to me." said Ignatius, "for 1 was the first to see it."
"No. it belongs to ine." cried Bernard, '"for 'I was
the first to pick it up." and so they began to quar
rel! in earnest. "1 will settle the dispute," said an
older boy, who had just then come up. He placed
himself between the two boys, broke the nut in two
and said : "'The one piece of shell belongs to him
who first saw the nut: the other piece of shell be
longs to him who first picked it up ; but the kernel
1 keep for judging the case. And this," he said, as
he sat down and laughed, "is the common end of
most lawsuits."
ATOAO UNDRESSING. —Audabon relates that he
once saw a toad undress himself. He commenced
by pressing his elbows hard against his sides and
rubbing downward. After a few smart rubshis sides
began to burst open along his back. He kept on
rubbing until be had worked all his skin into folds
on his sides and hips; then grasping one hind leg
with both hands, he hauled off one leg of his pants
the same as anybody would, then stripped oft' the
other hind leg in the ~ame way. He then took his
cast off cuticle forward between his forelegs into his.
mouth and swallowed it ; then by raising and low
ering his head, swallowing as his head came down,
he stripped off the skin underneath until it came to
his fore legs, and then grasping one of those with
the opposite hand, by considerable pulling stripped
the other, and by a single motion of the head, and
while swallowing he drew it from the neck and swal
lowed the whole.
How TO FOMENT MISCHIEF. —There seems to be a
principle in human nature, a kind of roguish curi
osity that impels one to act upon suggestions given
in such a manner as to imply that, though wrong, it
is expected they may be, or will be, followed out.
The farmer who had a husking-frolic, and told his
neigbors's boys present that they must be peaceable
and orderly on the way home, and must not put
neighbor Smith's cart on his corn-barn,
was not probably surprised, or ought not to have
been, to find that the cart was actually astride of the
corn-barn when the sun rose next morning. Nei
ther is this principle confined wholly to children.
There is a story of a Catholic priest aud a hostler
which is not inappropriate. When a hostler had
finished making confessions of his sins, the priest
inquired of him if he had ever greased the teeth of
his customers horses to prevent them from eating j
their oats. The hostler declared that he
had never heard of such a thing. The next time
he went to the confessional, the first offence which
he had to acknowledge was that he had been greas
ing the teeth of his customers' horses. — Illinois
Teacher.
WHERE THE COLD COMES FROM. —Our observations
of the the cold terms for several years, show that the
icy wave comes down over the central portion of this
continent, striking our Western States and passes
over the ocean in a south easterly direction. The
cold wave does not affect the Pacific shore; it comes
down from the Artie regions upon the Rocky Moun
tains, and then turns eastward, so that the first news
we have of it, days before it reaches here, is from
Minnesota, Nebraska, and Utah. It follows the
valleys and the course of the waters, and spends
itself over the Gulf Stream, where it warms again
and rising as it expands, is wafted back in the up
per atmosphere. This cold air current is just the
opposition, to the warm water current which we call
the Gulf Stream. That comes from the torrid zone
westerly, and is turned northward by the configura
tion of the lands, as the cold air wave is eastward
when it strikes the mountains, and thence runs a
iong our coast affecting the climate of the lands near
it, till it loses itself in the Northern ocean and ice.
So God has provided in nature for heat and cold
mutualy to affect each other.
AN OIL STORY. —The other day S , who doeß
a comfortable little business down-town, but always
has ways of spending money, provided he had a lit
tle more of it, thought he would try his luck in the
oil regions, and happened to be on the spot when
the famous Holmden well was struck, so much talk
ed of lately. He immediately ascertained who own
ed an adjoining tract of land supposed to be equally
rich, and repaired to the house where the man lived
not far off. Arriving abont three o'clock in the
morning, he professed to he very much fatigued—
he "didn't like to sleep on grapevines," and wanted
a more comtortable place. In course of time, con
versation turned to that tract of land. The owner
expatiated upon its probable value, and suggested
that his friend, just arrived, would do well to try his
luck as a purchaser. The latter said he "might not
object to a trade, if he had money and more time to
devote to such ventures," Ac. but at length inqui
red about the price. Twelve thousand dollars was
named. VV-e-1-1, supposing your wife draws up a
bill of sale, and meanwhile I'll see." The docu
ment was prepared, the cost paid and the signatures
affixed. Next day S , was offered £40,(100 for
one quarter of his purchase'. Happening to meet in
Oil-Dorado soon after, the "late owner dryly remark
ed, "Don't like sleeping on grape-vine. Ac." These
are facts.— Neir York Journal of Commerce.
A FRENCH SCENE. —A Frenchman named Soul
ages, a native of Colmar, has for some time past
been exhibiting with great success, at Wurtzburg, as
a lion tamer. One day he entered a den containing
alien and a lioness, aud made them go through va
rious perfoimances. The spectators loudly applau
ded. Elated by these plaudits, Soutages determined
to do something more extraordinary, and for that
purpose he collected in one den. a lion, a iioness, a
white bear, two black bears, four hyenas, two wolves
and A tiger. He then entered himself, whip in hand
but the door was scarcely closed when the tiger
made a spring atthe white bear. This was the sig
nal for a terrific struggle between all the beasts, who
appeared at once to recover their natural ferocity.
Soulages hoping to intimidate the animals, fired two
pistol shots at the tiger and white bear. This act
scaled his fate for the tiger, leaving the bear, sprang
on his keeper, threw him down, and began to tear
him with his teeth and claws. The other beasts,
rendered furious by the smell of blood, all fell on the
unhappy man, and in a few minutes he was torn to
pieces, and almost entirely devoured, in the pres
ence of the hogror struck spectators, who were pow
erless to render assistance. — Foreign Paper.

The property of this cols pony ie nil owned in lee ,i, u _
ptc and i all paid for, and cousist* of tlie following trueU:
Ist. Thut valuable island, known a the "Lower PH-mt,
Creek Island," containing 2 acre* and 9d pcrcbcr, sitiMw
in the Allegheny river, .t the mouth of the Clarion titter.
On tbi* island a derrick eu erected in the epriugof INJ,
and an engine placed on the ground*, but the WHT break
ing out, the parties sold off and enlisted. ■ ''
2d. The "Upper iftunip Creek Island." situated but a
few rods above the lower island, containing 4 acre* and
20 perches, 4 acres of which arc owned by this Company,
on which arc erected a bouse, .-table, Ac. Neither os tt.es
islands is liable to overflow, and both are w!I protected by
stone and trees againct washing. By reference t„ thr last,
of Pennsylvania, it will be observed that the Claii.,n riv
er empties into the Allegheny at a point due soqtn trow
Oil Creek, and as oil is found at Free port, on tin. l, Dr
further south, we have every reason to believe that these
inlands are in the very centre of the great oil Wit. of Pent:
sylvania. Besides ail this, they tie far below the
L'leasu.es.
The Company also owns 1 acre and 61 perches of Inn i
about 54 miles above the upper island, at the mouth , q
Ititehey Kun, near the town of Kmlenton, Venango Co.,
Pa., upon which is the celebrated Foj and Wide! r ll,
with new engine, derrick, building. Ac., Ac., and well bor
ed to the depth of 4211 feet. Tbi* well was tuWd at 3it>
feet, and in a few hours pumping yielded about one bar
rel of oil, but the proprietor.- determined to sink it deep
er, and the company will, as goon as possible, sink this
well if necessary to the depth of 1M feet ->r wore. The
"Stump Islands Company' owncs tW whole interest in
well, fixtures and land, and "Development Fund"* will be
amply sufficient to complete this well and sink others in
the Islands. There is besides, room t uough on the
Ritehey Run tract for several more wells.
The property owned by this company is all practical
boring territory, and persons acijuatnte-i with the lands
along the Allegheny uud other oil streams, will l w te
timoriy that we have more practical boring -urfacs
face than many of the 3'ifi acre tracts contain
In addition to this, one basin will compare far oral, v .
with the large majority of Companies, whose t aj.iui
stock is five times as great.
The services of an efficient Superintendent have been
obtained, and. the Directors are determined to prosecute
operations vigorously.
Persons desirous of securing a portion of th- fI.MWi
shares of stock, must apply soon, to Hott. S. L. Russ. It.

F O U TZ'S
CELEBRATED HORSE AND CATTLE
POWDERS.
rpiIESK Powders hate proved, after a trial of -everaf
A years, to lie superior to any preparation of the kind
in use. TW chief superiority of these powders arises
I fioni the fact that they are composed of medicine.- that
have Laxative, Tonic and Purifying properties. The
laxative ejects crudities from the stomach and intestine-,
the tonic gives strength to the system of the Horse, and
the purifying medicines contained in them cleanse the
blood, and lay the foundation for a vigorous and healths
circulation. The u-e of them improves the wind, strength*,
ens the appetite and j?ives the horse a fine, smooth and glos
sy skin—thus improving the appearance, vigor an . spir
it of this nobie animal.
These powder* are not intended, as most p.,wdiis art
to bloat the animal, so as to give him the appearance of
being fat when not really so—but to remove the disease
and promote his general health.
These powders will strengthen the stomach and intf--
tincs. cleanse them from offensive matter, and bring tlicm
to a healthy state. They are a sure prevention oi Bong
Fever, and a certain remedy for all disease* incident t
the Horse, as tiJenifers, Yellow Water, Distempers, foun
der. Heaves, Slavering, Coughs. Fevers Loss oi Appetite
and \ ital Energy, Ac.—These powders, if used iv- ur
thn e times a week, through the winter and spring, ynut
few do.-es of fetflOV.'- toe Worst cough,
on any horse. Were owuer* of horses to feed a fee oi
these powders every year, they might save the li e, wl
many valuable horses.
MILCH COWS.
The properties this powder possesses in incrrastn.-
the quantity of milk In cows, gives it an importance an-i
value which should place it in the hands of every person
keeping a cow. In fatteuing cattle, it gives tbi to an ap
petite. loosens their hide, and makes them thrive muck
faster,
HOGfS.
In all diseases of swine, as coughs, ulcers in th<- lungs
and liver, Ac., by putting from half a paper to a paper of
these powders in a barrel of swill, the above diseases caa
be cured or entirely prevented. By using these powders
the hog cholera can be pi re vented.
