Sour apples are said to bo as good
for bogs or cows as sweet ones. It is
not the sugar merely that they contaiu,
but the starch, mucilage, and other
matters—to say nothing of their hy

food for annuals. Tiiey will not alone
fatten, but they will assist in this pro

made profitable. When ripe they may,

A correspondent of the Utica iN. Y.)
lit raid gives the following valuable
hints:
Consult any exper euced miller, and
be will tell yon that the one great fault
with bnekwueat is its grit idust or
ground I. Tli is it gets by lying on the
ground or in swaths, the nous spatter
ing the dust against it. This should
be avoided, as it hurts both buckwheat
and the flour. Cnt and immediately set
np in loose tnubounJl sheaves, tied at
the top to give it the form of a cone, so
as to shed the rain. In this way the
air will circulate through, prevent
monlding, and yet not dry so fast but
the berry will have a chance to mature
and ripen, for it is to be cut when pait
of the crop is yet in the dough—the
largest part—and some still less ad
vanced. If left till all is ripe, the crop
will be late, and. if heavy, will be
twi-ted and lodged, and much of it will
shell in harvesting. A clear, sound
crop is what is wanted, and not a dusty
one, with the late kernels dried instead
of ronuding ent and maturing, as they
will if put np in sheaves as so u as cnt.
l>o not, ia any ease, leave it lying on
the ground, and cut early, when the
greater part of the grains are in the
doughy

The views of "A Pennsylvania
Farmer " in the Tribunr, on pasturing
meadow*,axe as follows : In order to
secure a large crop of grass next vear,
meadows as a general thing shonlcl not
be pastured in the fall, and if possible
a top-dressing should be applied, so
that the grass roots may be strengthen
ed and the aftermath act as a mulch for
winter protection. The aftermath will
also hold the drifting snows to a cer
tain extent, and protect from the cold
drying winds of March. It will then
de*y and furnish a cheap and MMl
lent manure. This is nature s system
of manuring. Where a good crop of
grass can be cut by September Ist, 1
do so, and then top-dress immediately
after; but where the growth is not
sufficient to warrant that, I leave it
npon the ground. The poor, thin
spots now show very plainly and must
have a top dressing before winter. The
temptation to pasture meadows is great,
bnt ought to be resisted. New
meadows seeded upon grain should on
no acconat be grazed, for the roots
grow in proportion to the tops, and
strong roots will give a large crop of
hay next year.
Profit In Haop Pole*.
A very profitable use mav be mode of
rough tracts of land by planting them
jnst now with white-oak acorn* or
hickory cuts. If these are planted in
rows four feet apart abd eighteen to
twenty-four inches apart in the rows,
5,000 to 7,00u poles may be grown to an
aroe. If each alternate pole is cut at
four years old there will be a crop of
about 3,000 poles fit for firkin hoops,
and worth sls a thonsand on the gronnd.
If the poles are cut in the winter time
the stumps will sprout again, and by
the time those that have been left are
large enough for barrel hoops, these
will be large enough to occupy the
gronnd nntii the others have grown
again. In this way there will be a crop
ready to cnt every four years worth at
least $45 to SSO per acre. The second
growth will be more rapid than the first,
as the roots will have become strong and
fully grown. A large number of bcop
poles are cut in this neighborhood
every year, and thousands of barren
acres might thus be made profitable.
Reversing Ute Engine.
Railroad accidents are not more fre
quent in England than in this country,
bnt the trains usually rnn at a much
higher speed, and the weather is more
frequently dark and foggy, so that the
sense of danger is far greater there than
here. An engine-driver on an English
railway thus recounts his experience :
" Engine-driving is trying work such
weather as to night, sir," said Johnny,
wiping the perspiration off bis face
with his sleeve, " when you cannot see
your signal light, or even yonr smoke
stack, and yon have to rnn like mad on
a b d track to make np time, so ns not
to lose connection."
"I tell you, it makes a man hot if he's
as cold as a lump of ice. Yon have to
go it blind. Yon can't see if the switch
ings are right- If trains yon are to pass
have got into the side-track, you can't
make out anything till you are into it.
It is trying work on the mind sir, is
driving an engine. Such as us get
very little sleep. The other night my
wife started np in bed and screamed as
if she was being murdered.
" ' What are you doing ?' she cried,
and bless your life, sir, there was I,
palling her slender arm with all my
might, while my foot was steadied
Bgainßt the bottom of the bed. I was
trying to reverse the engine."
Their Strength.
The power of growing vegetables,
even the most fragile, is something lit
tle short of woudcrfnl. Bo delicate a
structure as the mushroom can, under
certain circumstandl-s, exert the most
extraordinary power, for, according to
a good authority, it is well known that
a mushroom will " lift a paving stone
many times its own weight, rather than
turn over and grow sideways, which it
would appear so mnch easier for it to
do." The fact is also a enrioos one,
that tree roots will throw over im
mensely strong walls against which
they have grown, though one would
think the pressure against the softer
soil would give room for their develop
ment, without the necessity of their ex
tending so much foroe against the wall.
A TEST CASE.— Four passengers on
the Erie railway from New York were
obliged to stand nearly half of the way
to Paterson, and in consequence re
fused to give up their tickets to the
conductor unless he furnished them
with seats. After thev were seated
they insisted that they should not pay
their fare for the time in whioh they
were obligud to stand. The conductor
refused to acoede to this proposition
and put the passengers who refnsed
from the train. As a test case one of
the passengers has sued the Erie oom
pany for 810,000, and two or three real*
dtate of Paterton are to do so booh.
TIIK nriTH MAI* CANAL.
Why II nut lommrnrnl ami Why ll
*• Al*i>loi-l.
Gen. It. F. Butler, in his address
before the Army of the James, re
ferrcd to a peculiar point in the his
tory of that army—the digging of the
Hutch Gap Canal. Geu. Butler said :
It was demonstrated to the Command
ing General and the Chief Engineer of
the armies of the I'uited Statea that it
was impossible for the navy to aid the
army IU our operations further up the
liver than our right rtsuk of the penin
sula at Bermuda Tlnndred. because of
the want of sufficient depth of water
around Trent's Reach, even if the river
had uot been commanded by the
enemy's batteries at Hewlett House aud
along the Iwmks.nud in any future ojora
tion* toward Richmond made upon the
north bank of the river, which was the
ouly meveuieut against the enemy's
capital which could be made with any
hope of ancceM,
If not driven from their positiou,
the enemy's gunboats above Trent's
Reach would give the same aid to him
and drive our forces back from the
river, as our gunboat* bolow could give
to us. It was assumed by the Com
mandiug General of the army that if
there wa* sufficient water to float the
gunboats of the Cuited Slates they
w n> more than able to cope with the
enemy's gunboats and drive them
above Fort Fading and leave The bauk
of the river free for our advauce. The
river at Trent's Reach tnukes a sudden
and a vary sharp bend and return like
a tiorwe-du e, so that while the distance
ironud the circumference of the shoe is
>eveu miles, tnecut across at the heel
from water to water w is only 420 feet.
It was, theft fore, determined, after
full consideration by the engineers of
the army, to out a channel t">o feet w ide,
500 Let long, and 16 feet deep, through
this bauk, so as to permit our vessels
to pass up. Of such importance was it
deemed bv the enemy te prevent the
accomplishment of tins work, that
while it w.a going on they threw into
the excavations, iu the shaje of .shells,
mai.v hundred tons of iron,but because
of the precautious taken, with very
little result, the cutting was prosecuted
on the south side until the earth was all
thrown out but an embankment of 25
feet at the bottom from water to water
extending upward wedge-shaped, so as
to afford a protection to the workmen
from the direct fire of the foe.
This portion of the other side was
milled and some tons ul powder put 25
feet deep at its hiue for the purpose of
throwing out thia las: obstruction, all
of which was successfully accomplished,
and on the 2tth of December the mine
was tired, the cut opened, and three
feet of water was running through the
debris of the bank left by the explosion.
Forty-eight hours of dredging would
have opened the chancel for our gun
boats to pass up, to join battle with
the enemy's vessels, and clear the river,
at least up as far as the gnu* of Fort
Darling, which commanded the banks
some six or eight miles above, thus en
abling the advance of the Union army
from the position which they had at
Fort Harrison, oi which I will speak
hereafter.
But at that hour and from that mo
ment all work ceased on the canal uutil
the return of peace ; and the Army of
the James have rested under an impu
tation of a futile and asciese expendi
ture of time and money to do a useless
work.
I have said that the canal was under
taken for the purpose of allowing the
Union naval vessels and monitors to
clear the river, and put themselves in
position, if need be, to bombard Fort
Darling. The door was to be opened,
and this was doae with the fail ooacur
rence of the commander of the navy
apou that station when it was begun,
and who aided us in it by every means
in his power. But then there was a
charge of commauders on that station.
When the canal was ready to be opened,
the commanding officer of the works at
Datoh Gap received a letter from the
commanding officer of the naval forces
of ttie United State* stationed in James
river asking him not to go on and open
the passage through because he would
thereby give an avenue to thcenemv to
come down through and attack the fleet
of the United States stationed below it.
When the door was about to be opened
for tue dog to kill the wolf the dog
feared that the wolf would eat him. In
obedience to that tequest of the navy,
which conld not be made public, be
cause the euemy ranst not bo informed
by any true patriot that the naval forces
of the United States in James river
were not competent and able to resist
and overcome the naval forces of the
enemy stationed in James river near
Richmond—and rather than disgrace
should fall on the American navy, the
Army of the James chose to rest under
the imputation tliat they were unable
to complete thia great work for the use
of the navy, which, however, might
have been done in three days. And so
the engineers of the Army of the James
saw in silence that their work was fruit
less, because the navy for whom it was
made refnsed to take advantage of it,
not without some reason, as was after
ward shown ; for a few weeks after that
letter requesting us not to open the
canal, the enemy's gnnboats, embold
ened by the inactivity of OUIR, came
down around Trent's Reach, only three
of them, and although one got aground,
the other two made an attack upon our
naval vessels, which fled ingloriously
down the river ; aud if the euemy bad
only known their strength and made
pursuit, they wonld have cut in two
the armies of the United States operat
ing in that vicinity, and been able to
command its base of supplies at City
Point. But fortunately they did not
know their strength, and they returned
after having shown that our naval ves
sels, as theu commanded, if able were
not competent to cope with those of the
enemy.
Trouble at the Wedding.
A scene took place the other day in
Preston parish church. The daughter
of a tradesman was about to be mar
ried to a bntcher coming from Barrow,
whom she had only seen twice previons
i ly. The father and the brother of the
bride, hearing of the wedding, went to
church before the ceremony had begun.
The former seized the bridegroom,
while the son endeavored to get the
i bride away. She refused to go, and
clnDg to the bridegroom. A police
sergeant entering the church,the father
i demanded that the bride should be
i taken into custody for stealing a watch,
| and also apparel which she was then
wearing. The bride, who was terrified
j at her father's conduct, gave up the
watch. The father averred that his
daughter had lost £3,oi>o by marrying
; without his consent. The police ser
geant refused to take the bride into
custody, the father and son were turn
ed ont of the church, and the mar
riage ceremony was proceeded with.
Economy.
One of the hardest lessons for young
f eople to learn is to practice economy,
t is a harder duty for a yonng man to
accumulate and save his first thousand
dollars than the next ten thousand. A
man can be economical without being
mean, and it is one of his most solemn
duties to lay up sufficient in his days of
strength and prosperity to provide for
himself and those who are or may be
dependent on him in days of sickness
or misfortune.
Extravagance is one of the greatest
evils of the present age. It ia under
mining and overtnrning the loftiest and
best principles that shun Id be attained
and held sacred in society. It iB
annually sending thousands of young
men and women to ruin and misfor
tune.
Cultivate, then, sober and industri
ous habits; acquire the art of putting
a little aside every day for future neces
sities ; avoid all unnecessarv aud fool
ish habits.

of the little port were thronged and
positively black with eager negroes,

the sloops mud schooner*. Some were
discharging their cargoes of sponges,
shells, fish, and cattle in hot haste ;

heaving up their anchorr ; while the

merry chorus, as if uuder the iu

What could it all mean ? It meant
this—another vein in the itahama gold
mines had been struck, another load

A I'ortuiriie-e Remedy
Ten years ago I was trading with the
Portuguese and negroes of Delagoa
Ray on the southeast coast of Africa,
the most notorious place for fever and
ague, as well as for mosquitoes, on the
African continent. Throughout the
day, but especially from sunset to suu
riae, the mosquitoes dance there
through the sultry, hutnid atmosphere
literally in dense clouds, rendering
sleep or even a moment's rest utterly
impossible for unaccl; mated man and
beast, so that our trading party would
have been compelled to leave the hor
rid country had not an old friendly
Portuguese taught ns how to protect
ourselves against the bloodthirsty in
sects by giving us the following simple
recipe : Make a decoction of quassia by
boiling a handful of quassia wood
(also known a* quassia chips) in aqnart
of water for about half an hour. Allow
it to cool and then bathe your fad'
and hands with it, or any other part of
the body which you may desire to pro
tect against the attack* of the mosqui
toes. It is of terribly bitter taste, but
harmless t<> the most delicate *kin if
washed off occasionally with fresh
water, and no mosquitoes will alight on
the parts to which the decoction has
been freely applied. We tried the
remedy and found it to act like a
charm, and I defy the combined forces
of all the mosquitoes of Long Island,
Westchester county and New Jersey, or
any other mosquitoes, to attack me if I
will ge to the slight trouble of using
the above decoction. The " stnff " is
obtainable iu every drug store, and
quite inexpensive.
A Bank Robbery.
The Sangliegan National Rank, at
Milford, N. H., was robbed of about
$70,000, $4,000 being in bill* and the
rest in private property. The cashier
of thebank, F. T. Sawyer, was awakened
about t n o'clock at his house by a man
who shouted " You are wanted," and
he immediately placed a gag in his
mouth, handcuffed him, and theu tied
him to the bedjxmt. Mrs. Sawyer was
also handcuffed, and with her babe was
fastened into a small chis t. The rob
bers meanwhile bound the other chil
dren, thrust them into a closet, and
handcuffed and shut np the servant
girl. This done they presented a pistol
at Mr. Sawyer's head, dem mding the
key Bof the bank. He told them they
were not there, and, Mr. Sawyer having
refused to tell where the keys were,
the robbers nearlv strangled llim with
the gag and a twist of rope round the
neck. Finally Mr. Sawyer to'd them
that the keys were in the p mt-offiee
lock-box. The men then placed a rope
round Mr. Sawyer's neck, and t ok
him to the post-office. A hole was cnt
in the glass, the sash raised, and the
keya secured. Air. Sxwver was forced
to go and open the bank, and all the
funds, notes, and collaterals were taken
away. Mr. Sawyer was then taken back
and tied to the bod and left. Abont
three o'clock in the morning, his little
Bon, Fred, got loose and cut the rope,
letting his father free, aud an alarm
was given. The bank losses $25,000.
Twenty dollars woro taken from the
cashier's pocket. The servant girl and
Mr. Hawi er received injuries about the
face and neck. The robbers frequently
threatened to kill tho babe if it was
not kept quiet.

A Curious Story.
A curious stoiy i* in connection
with the discovery of the remains of
Leonardo da Vinci at tho Chateau of
Amboisc. This ohiU'tn, long tho test
j donee f tho kings of Franco, is now
j littlo moro than n man* of rttina.
Napoleon 111., however, gave orders
fr it* restoration ; ami in IKiH, a* a
preliminary atop, men were aont to
search for any valnahlo art or hiitorlo
treasures. Hoou aorne remain* were
found, which, from a defaced inscrip
tion, were (relieved to he thoae of
Leonardo da Vinci, who died at the
Oliatean of Clna l.nce, near by. Tho
(tones were removed with o*re, and the
skull minutely examined, and it wa* de
cided that it tnnat have belonged to u
man of great gen ill*. A caat wn* taken
of it ; and tho keeper at Auiboise wna
ordered to aeud tho remain* to l*ari *o
that the auatoniiata might oonatrnet a
skeleton front them. Hut when the re
mama arrived at l'ari*, atrange to *ay,
the aknll wa* found to he a very com
mon one, in fact it did not tit the hone*
at all, and the wonder waa how such a
hue cant could have heen matte from
a poor ukull. Ho the remain*
were returned to Auiboise and thrown
into a corner, although a monument
was erected to the painter upon the
•pot where thev had been found. Not
long ago the Chateau of Amltuiae fell
into the hand* of the Oomte de Pari*,
who resolved to restore it. The l>x of
bone* returned from l'ari* wa* found
and put into the valllta of tho chapel of
the chateau. But pretty soon more
bonoa were discover* d, ami among them
the identical skull from which the
piaster model waa taken iu IHU. Thi*
led to a:i iuvcatigation, and it appeared
that after the east wa* taken the re
main* were left in charge of the gar
dcner of the castle. That evening,
while in a wine shop, his comrade* de
sired to sec the skull about which then
had been so much talk. So it was
taken to the shop, examined, ami for
gotten, ami the keeper of the house
threw it carelessly into the cellar. When
the remains were ordered to l'ari* the
gardener could not remember what he
had done with the skull. Ho he took
auother from the lot of tone*, which
looked "precisely like the hst one"
for he knew nothing of phrenology and
comparative anatomy. When the error
was discovered the gardener told a lie
to get out of the scrape, ami swore he
sent the bone* just as he found theiu.
Years later the gardener happened to
be in the cellar of thw wine shop; lie
atnmbled over the lost skull, and
secretly n-placd it among the bones at
the chateau. And thus it was rodis
covered; arid now it 1* believed the
scattered tone* of the gnat painter arc
all gathered together, and they will be
placed beneath the monument erected
to his memory.
French "Frugality."
A Paris correspondent say* : " I have
heard a very odd, yet apparently cor
rect, reason given for the uon-succes
of MHla-water a* a Iwverage in thia city.
Due of the leading Kugludi druggists
here wo* recently asked why he did v.>
establish a soda-water fountain in las
store. 'lt would not take with the
Parisians,' via hi* answer; 'if a
Frenchman spends ten cent* for a
drink he want • a scat, a little table and
a sight of the daily papers with it, and
he pasne* two hours in sipping it. A
beverage, therefore, which must l*
quaffed at ouce will not suit their habit*
or their taste* ; they would consider
tbcm*elvea robbed if they paid half a
franc for the drink alone.' Auother
amusing exemplification of the pecu
liarly thrifty habits of the French was
also made known to me recently. An
American came out here some years
ago aud established an American bar
near the Grand Hotel, connecting with
it that decidedly American institution,
a free lunch, lie was aeon obliged to
do aa-uy with tl at portion of his pro
gramme, however, for tiuding that
there was a place where p >od food
could be had for nothing, large num
bers of Frenchmen of the better cla**<-,
including many of the member* of th*
fashionable jockey club, came there to
enjoy the eatables, but never ordered
one sou'* worth of drink therewith.
They considered it perfectly ' the
thing' to take the proprietor's lunch
without compensating him in any man
ner, direct or indirect."
The Mammoth Pave of Mexico.
It is said thst the cave cf Cacahna

Several persons, who have visited the
Mammoth Cavo of Kentucky and that

was so high—a succession of halls—
that rocket* often exploded before
striking it. Labyrinthine passages leave
tho main hall in every direction. Htal
agmitos and stalactites are abundant,
fb-low this rave, at a great depth, are
iwo other immense eaves, from each of
which issues a branch of a great river,
uniting here. These two rivers enter
some five miles distant at the other side
of the mountain, flow parallel, and issue
at last together. Vast quantities of
bats are the most numerous inhabitants
of these caverns.
Risks III* Life on hi* Faith.
Frofesaor White, a champion swim
mer, recently consented to drown him
self in order that his theory of resus
citation might bo tested for the benellt
ol the London Humane Society, who
were present to witnet-s the experiment.
After laying down certain rules for
' holding a drowning person in the water,
ho pitiuged into the river—the Serpen
tine, probably, in Hyde Park—and re
mained long enongh nnder water to bo
partially drowned. His son then dived
after him and brought him to the sur
face in an apparently lifeless condition,
adhering strictly to the principles laid
down by his parent. The breathless
body was then turned over to ono of
the Humane Society'a offloers and put
through the coarse of treatment recom
mended. The society had the satisfac
tion of seeing Mr. White revive, and in
a short time return to the water with
out apparent unpleasant eonseqnenoes,
thus proving his theory by illustration
at the risk of death.
A lioodlnnt.
John Caldwell was what they call in
ban Francisco a hoodlum. He was shot
over a game of cards. The physician
who attended him gave orders to re
move his boots, whercn]H)n the wounded
hoodlum cried with an oath, " No,
don'i tukc 'em off. I want to die with
'em on." He was very desirous that
his "gal" should ho sent for, and re
i peatcd the request so often that it was
complied with. When the damsel ar
rived, aho proved, contrary to general
expeetation, to lie a modest girl of some
intelligence. He interlarded his re
marks with the most execrable oaths,
and the physician who attended him re
fused to continue his work an less the
young roan's fearful language should
discoutinne.
A Mr. Atchorley has recently tested
a largo number of samples of malt li
quors in England expressly for load,
and has found that poison in most of
tliem. The liquor acts, in his opinion,
upon the lead or oomposition piping
used by beer retailers for connecting
the barrel with the beer engine in the
bar, and in cases where the beer has
■been for some time in contact with tho
[metal tho proportion of load dissolved
lis very considerable. Hence, I would
caution morning beer drinkers against
imbibing the first " pull" of the pump,
especially when their particular fancy
happens to be for "old ale." Sherry
drinkers abonld also be warned againet

Siiiierstifion Among Miners.
A largo number of the miners em
ployed at Home of the Bedworth col
lieries,in North Waiwickshire,England,
giving way to a superstition which has
hmg prevailed among this class,refncd
to descend into the coal-pits in which
they are employed. The men are credu
lous enough to believe that certain noc
turnal sounds, which are doubtless pro
duced by flying flocks of night hirda in
their passage across the country, are
harbingers of some impending oolliery
disaster. During Hunday night it was
stated that these, which have lieen
designated "The Seven Whistlers,"
hod been distinctly heard in the neigh
borhood of Uedworth, and the resnlt
was that on the following morning,
when the work should have been re
sumed, many of the men positively re
fused to descend the pits, and were to
be seen idling abont the streets of the
town. The recent oolliery accidents at
Bedwortb, and the sounds by which
they nro said to havo been preceded,
seem to havo augmented rather than
diminished this superstitions belief.

The approaching trial of Bnllard,
charged with robbing the Boylston
Bank ill Bostoii, some years ago, revives
incident* connected with the robbery
that are interesting. In 1 HUH the Mer
chants I'uiou Kxpre** (lompuiiy wan
robbed of f>ftio,UOo. The messenger of
the caron which the robbery took place
wax found bound and gagged, but be
ing arrested confessed that he with
wthers committed the robbery. Two
of his confederates were arrested, but
after being ill jail three mouths turned
over #IOO,OOO to the express company,
were turned loose, and witii filled
pocket* went to Kurojto.
Bullard, nun of the thieves, in Paris
took the name of Wells and oj>ened an
American gambling house in the Kile
Herlbe. The Ay n<* ilr I'olicr ascer
tained the character of the place and
arrested him, and lie was sentenced by
the criminal court to a brief imprison
ment. When lie obtained his liberty
lie married a good looking Kuglish
woinun The express company's money
Was >on squandered aud he decided
upon a visit to America, for the purjtose
of replenishing his empty exchequer.
He and Marsh came to Boston in IMU9,
and soon rallied around them the best
burglar " talent" that could be found,
all being considered first elan* men,
and tli- following was what they accom
plished ;
When the doors of the Boylston
bank, corner of Boylston and Washing -
ing streets, Boston, w *-re opened on the
morning of the 2Jd of November, IWJ,
It wa* di*oovered that the vault hail
been broken into by burglars, and that
upward of S4OO,UtO worth of property,
consisting of bank bills, bond*, etc.,
bait been stolen. From that day to
this hardly any of the property has
l>ecn recovered. The Boston police
have Itceu unable to obtain a clew a*
to who were the ]M-r)>etrators of the
daring robbery.
It appears that ou lire 'S2d day of
October, exactly a mouth previous to
the discovery of the robbery, • man

Inrugiit out a barber shop iu the build
ing adjacent to the bank. Hi appoarcxl

Jttdtton furuished his new room very
hatulaotuely and carried on the sale of
('uhfornia wine bitters. The walla of
the room were waiuacotted up to the
ceiling. Tue robbers cut off a corner
of the room by placing a partition and
funking what apjw-ared to visitors an
inuer or private room. The wainscot
or wooden sheathing in the private office
wa a then cut u at to form a door, be
hind which wo* the partition waih
This being accomplished, ihe gang
commenced cutting away the wall.brick
by brick, which were removed with the
broken mortar in boxes labelcxl " medi
cine." Working stealthily at night,
week after week, the robbers cut their
way through two wallis, twenty inches
iu thickueas, and having accomplished
this the back of the lofty iron afe waa
exjvosed. They then by means of a
drill cut a hole eighteen inches square
into the back of the safe.
Through this hole Uiey took oat all
the private boxes on the shelves, aud
bursting them open helped themselves
to what they wonted, and having taken
their choice scattered mortgages, etc.,
over the floor of the safe. A large
portion of the bootr consisted of green
backs. The burglary took place l>e
tweeu the closing of the bank on
Saturday evening aud its opening on
Monday morning.
The detectives for a long time could
get no trace of the perjvetratoni of the
robbery, but it ia now believed that
some of these officials were interested
in the robbery, or at least enjoyed their
share of the proceeds. The money
stoleu by Hullard from the Boylston
Hank was squandered with a prodigal
hand, and alter an attack of delirium
trciur-ns he entered an inebriate asylum,
where he remained some months, and
for years past iie has been hiding from
the |H)lice, till he was reeently captured
at I.is residence in New York, and taken
to Boston to answer for the robbery.
Others of the gang have since been
captured.
The Nan i tar j (ondlUoti of Water.
Th.-re is no more prelifle source of
disease than bad water ; bnt to dis

consumption or not ia somewhat diffi

spring, or well, may be repulsive to tbe

result flsh disappear or ara found dead
upon the surface, it ia certain that
the water is strongly and injuriously

compose rapidly. In the air they
merely seem to dry tip and retain life,
though torpid for some time, becoming
revivified by rctnrn to water. Cresses
cannot live in corrupt water, and their
existence is a sign of purity in the
fluid, while alga* deprived cf their
green color indicate absolute corrup
tion. ML Gerard in, in reference to thia
subject, in a recent note to the French
Academy, states that the In-st method
of measuring the degree of purity or
of infeetion in the water is by deter
mining the amount of oxygen in a
given quantity. Water containing a
large percentage of the gas ia pure and
good ; but when little of the latter is
present, the water is decidedly deleteri
ous to health.

A tonic and alterative mediciue, the
invigorating and regulating properties
of which actually lengthen life, ami
add to the rapacity for its enjoyment,
is within the reach of every mrmlH>r of

had" recourse to Dr. Walker's Vinegar
Hitters will hesitate to concede to it
these invaluable qualities. It is a stom
achic and n corrective of uurivaled effi
cacy, yet being free from alcohol, it is
not an excitant. Its anti-billons oper
ation is more direct, speedy, and cer

mineral salivauts, aud as an aperient, it
gently removes nny obstructions that
may have accumulated in the lower in

any drawback. Of all medicines, it is
the most harmless and salubrioua. As
an appetizer, it is far ahead of any of
