Four Cn1nmlllp. That misfortunes come not as single fpies, but in battalions, we have illustra tion in the reports of terrible disasters in remote parts of the world. First are the details of the gun cotton explosion in England, by which twenty-five per sons were killed and sixty wounded, of whom one-third will die. Then we have a steamboat explosion on the peaceful waters of Chautauqua Lake, when the boat was quietly resting, and four per sons are killed and fourteen wounded. Tne boat was at a landing, precisely as the Westfield :was, and the probability is that, rs in the Staten Island Ferry . case, the engineer was away from his en gine room, and steam was dangerously accumulating in his absence. From Pennsylvania comes another mining hor ror, to heap up still higher the fearful record of human life lost by carelessness and improvidence, and a reckless con tempt alike for law and for the safety of individuals. The opening to this mine was known to be unsafe. There was no safety car only a ladder. The fire-damp exploded and buried eighteen men in the ruined arches brought down by the concussion. Five victims have been taken out dead, and the rest have un doubtedly met the same fate. Again, as on so many other occasions, the pit mouth becomes the scene of agony nnd activity. Women and children gather with tears and lamentations, and sturdy men bend to the work of rescue or re covery with stern and silent energy. What curses must be suppressed in the energetio natures of these men, who un dertake this life of peril, and know that those who operate the work neglect suf ficient precautions. Will never a mine owner face the horrors of fire-damp? TheBe mine calamities are as frequent as , they are fearful. To a certain degree they are inevitable, but they are out of all proportion in Pennsylvania, and some Btringent and obligatory legisla tion is required. But while these fatali ties occur near home, we real of the ut- . ter depopulation of an entire island in the Malay Archipelago. The forces of nature, exercised in the irrepressible power of the volcano and the earthquake made one of the grandest and most aw ful exhibitions since the Noachian Del uge. A huge ocean wave, one hundred and twenty feet high, poured with re sistless force upon the island, and swept it clean of every living thing. The phe nomenon is described as fearful in the extreme. New craters opened in the volcano, t and vomited lava, red hot stones, mud, and ashes into the air and sea. New hills were formed, and the whole face of nature was changed. More than four hundred persons perished. Nothing could withstand this over whelming oonvulsion. The Philippine Islands, where a series of earthquakes occurred a few weeks ago, are not re mote from the scene of this frightful ca lamity, and possibly the two events were nearly contemporaneous. Dreadful as are the misfortunes caused by such agen cies as those over which man holds some sort of control, they sink into insignifi cance when compared with the prodi gious results of the action of nature, when her well-ordered forces become ec centrio and work their own wild and uncontrollable purpose. The flood, the electric storm, the earthquake shock, the volcanio overflow dwarf the more mode rate effects of the forces which man par tially subdues, but which, taking advan tage of his ignorance or carelessness or avarice, turn upon and rend him. An Alpine Adventure. Two gentlemen from Bale and three from Glarus recently made an excursion into the valley of Lindt, for the purpose of ascending the Todi, or Piz Buslin, (11,886 feet), one of the most conspicu ous of the mountains in Eastern Swit zerland. On the 25th inst., at 3 o'clock in the morning, the party left the Orun horn Hut, built by the Swiss Alpine Olub, where they had passed the night, the Fcehn blowing very violently, and reached the Glacier of Bifferten, after a very fatiguing walk of three hours, the Fcehn making the snow so soft that the feet sank deep into it at each step. On reaching a very deep and wide crevasse, which stopped their further progress, two of the party went some way along it to see if it grew any narrower, but their weight caused a large mass of snow on whioh they were standing to give way, and they were both pitched head long into the opening. Their compan ions, who were sufficiently near to see the accident, were stupefied with horror and were some time before they became sufficiently collected to form any plan for delivering their unfortunate friends, if they were still alive, of which they en tertained but slight hopes, owing to the depth to which they had fallen. On cautiously, .drawing near the edge of the precipice, however, and shouting down, they at length heard a feeble cry, which assured them that both at least were not killed, and being provided with stout cords, they joined several together, so as to make a - rope eighty feet long, and threw it down, but - it was found to be much too short. -They then added an other piece, sixty feet long, and on low ering the rope once more were delighted to find that it reached the bottom and became tightened, assuring them that it had been caught hold by their friends. After more than an hour's labor they succeeded in drawing both gentlemen from their dreadful position, who stated that they owed their safety to the soft ened snow which the wind had drifted into the Crevasse, enabling them to break the violence of their full. TJtt Bwist Time, Avg. 5. . Cnrlosltlcft of Slicpp-Fnrmlng in Cnll ; j ; foruia. 1 . The great sheep-runs of California, like those of Australia, (nays a corres pondent), seem to be a kind of mild form of Botany Bay for their respective moth er countries. Old Shepherds of long ex perience iii cither country will tell you of scores of men, with college and even university educations, whom thomselves or their friends have banished " for their country' good," and who are now gath ering, their melancholy crops of wild oats at the same time they watch the flocks on the hills nibble theirs, llufus A. Liockwood, one of the greatest and most erratio geniuses ever soon in Cali fornia, and whose biography has been written by Hon. Newton Booth, Repub lican candidate for Governor, once herd ed sheep in Australia, and that, too.aftor be bad become known as one ot the most brilliant lawyers of San Francisco. Mr. Cure's overseer told me that, during a single year, he had employed a bishop's son, an editor, a banker, a civil engineer, a priest, and a bookkeeper as shepherds. Every summer day there are several hot hours when the restless sheep are com pelled, for once, to be still, when the shepherd lolls at his ease beneath a tree, and you shall not unfrequcntly see him reading some magazine, or, like Alexan der the Great, who always carried around a piece of good literature with him, pe rusing poems of his own composition clipped from the village paper. The shepherds ot Uaiitoruia as a class, are piobably the most worthless, morally and socially, the most unprincipled, reckless and collapsed company of vaga bonds to be found in any civilized coun try, unless it be Australia. They are the riffraff of the world ; vagrant miners, who gamble away their month's wages as soon as they draw the same ; runaway sailors from strips in San Francisco, who sell their blankets for a pillow-case full of biscuits, and then get never a pinch of grub for two days ; measly, old, grog gy soldiers, who fall asleep under a live oak, and let the coyotes pull away a lamb. The good old Biblo word " shep herd " is not heard in California ; it is either " wool-grower,"' " ranch ero," or that most cumbrous and absurd " sheep raiser," and for the man who does the work, ho is a " sheep-herder." And when a man gets so low down as to be a " Bheep herder " in California, he would better go and dig a hole in the ground, insert bis head therein, nnd ask some pitying friend to cover it up. He is lower than a Greaser, for this is the Greasor's natural business that he was born to, and he is therefore respectable. Greasers and vagabond Bailors together have brought the same contempt on shepherding hero that the niggera have on all manual labor in the South. Elephant's Revenge and Urntit title. The elephant, with a sort of humorous justice, is given to return injuries or in sults in kind. In Madagascar, an ele phant's cornnc, happening to have a co coa-nut in his hand, thought fit, out of bravado, to break it on the animal s head. The elephant made no protest at the time; but next day, passing a fruit stand, he took a cocoa-nut in his trunk, and returned the comae's compliment so vigorously on the head that he killed him on the spot. If vindictive, the elephant is also grateful. At Pondichorry, a soldier who treated an elephant to a dram of arrack every time he received his pay, found himself the worse for liquor. When the guard were about to carry him oft to prison, he took refuge under the elephant and fell asleep. His protector would let no one approach, and watched him care fully all night. In the morniner, after caressing with his trunk, he dismissed him to settle with the authorities as best he could. Both revenge and gratitude imply in telligence: still more does the applica tion of an unforeseen expedient. A train of artillery going to Seringapatam had to cross the shingly bed ot a river. A man who was sitting on a gun-carriage fell ; in another second the wheel would have passed over his body. An elephant walking by the side of the carriage saw the danger, and instantly, without any order from his keeper, lifted the wheel from the ground, leaving the man unin jured. Suspended from a Burning Balloon. At the close of the afternoon perform ance of Grady's circus in Columbus on Thursday, the 17th, Mr. Charles Fisher made an ascent in a huge hot-air bal loon, or rather the balloon went up with Fisher dangling to a couple of ropes sus pended below. Immediately blue smoke was seen to issue from a point on the Bide of the balloon, about one-third the way up from the month to the top. Ex perienced eyes at once detected that the balloon was on fire, but the aeronaut.all unconscious of his danger, went on with his frightful performance on the trapeze. When the balloon was about 1,500 feet in the air, the flames were seen suddenly to burst from its side, and simultaneous ly a cry of horror went up from the great crowd below. Many turned away their eyes, and one woman fainted, all expecting that Fisher would at once meet a horrible death. But whether it was that the material of the balloon was not very inflammable, or that the hot air near the flame was not favorable to combustion, certain it is that the bal loon did not burn rapidly, and the aero naut landed in safety upon the top of a slaughter-house, near the end of the Hocking Valley bridge over the Scioto, while the burning balloon lit in the river, the water of which speedily extin guished the flames. Cincinnati Gazette. India Rubber Inexhaustible. The belt of land around the globe, five hundred miles north and five hundred miles south of the equator, abounds in trees producing the gum of India rub ber. They can be tapped, it is stated, for twenty successive seasons without in jury ; and the trees stand so close that one man can gather the sap of eighty in a day, each tree yielding, on at) average, three tablespoonfuls daily. Forty-three thousand of these trees have been count ed in a tract of country thirty miles long by eighty wide. There are in America and Europe more than one hundred and fifty manufacturers of Indian rubber ar ticles, employing some five hundred op eratives each, consuming more than ten million pounds of gum per year, and the business . is considered to be still in its infancy. But to whatever extent it may increase, there will still be plenty of rubber to supply the demand. An Indiana man claims to have suc ceeded in playing a thorough confidence game upon the potato bugs. He planted a grain of corn in each potato hill, and as the corn came up first the bugs thought it was a corn field and started for other scenes. Open Windows nt Night. Very much has beou written on this subject, and written unwisely ; the facts are that whoever sleops uncomfortably cool will get sick. To hoist a window sky-high when the mercury is nt r.ero is an absnrdity. The oolder a sleeping apartment is, the more unhealthy does it become, because cold Condenses the carbonic acid formed by the breathing of the sleeper. It set tles near the floor and is robreathed, and if in a very condensed form he will die before morning. Hence we must bo governed by circumstances ; ' the first thing is, you must be comfortably warm during Rleep, otherwise you are not re freshed, and inflammation of the lungs may be engendered, and life destroyod within a few days. An open door and an open fireplace are sufficient tor ordinary purposes in cold weather. When outer windows are opened, it is well to have them down at the top two or three inches, and up at bottom for the samo space. In miasmatio localities and these are along watercourses, beside mill ponds, marshes, bayous, river bottoms, flt lands nnd the like it is most important, from the first of August until severe frosts have been noticed, to sleep with all ex ternal doors and windows olosed, because the cool air of sunset causes the conden sation of the poisonous emanations which were caused oy the heat of the noonday sun to riso far above the oarth ; this con densation makes the air heavy at sun down, made heavy by the greater solidi fication of the emanations by cold ; and resting on the surface of the earth in their more concentrated and malignant form, they are breathed into the lungs, and swallowed into the stomach, cor rupting nnd poisoning the blood with great rapidity. By daylight these con- don nations arc made so compact by the protracted coolness of the night, that they are too near tho Burface of the earth to bo brnathed into the system ; but as the sua begins to ascend, these heavy condensations, miasms, begin to rise again to tho height ot several feet above the ground, and 'are freely taken into tho system by every breath and swallow ; hence the hours of sunrise and sunset are the mcst unhealthful of all the hours of the twenty-four in the localities named ; and noontide, when the nun is hottest, is the most healthy portion of the day, be cause the miasm is so much rarefied that it ascends rapidly to the upper regions. Tho general lessons are, nrst avoid exposure to tho outdoor nir in miasmatic localities for the horns including sunrise and sunset, second. Have a blazing nro on the hearth of the family room at those hours, to rarefy and send the mi asm upwards. Third. Tako breakfast before going out of doors in the morn ing, and take tea belore sundown ; then being out after night is not injurious. Hull's Journal of Health. A Missouri Fanner Duped by (iiiisics. An old gentluman in Polk county.Mis- souri, of considerable) wealth, was some time since made the dupe of misplaced confidence in the following manner as related by the Bolivar Free I'ress : " A baud of Oripsies appeared in the neighborhood, remaining several weeks. A woman belonging to the party made the acquaintance of the old gentleman, and communicated to him the startling intelligence that a large amount of trea sure was concealed on his place, and that by obeying her instructions he could se cure it. This ho agreed to do. She then informed him that he must deposit all his money in a certain place. After the lapse of a few days the whereabouts of the treasure would be revealed to him. Ho accordingly deposited the sum of three thousand two hundred dollars in a hiding place known only to the Gipsy and himself. When several days had passed, she again appeared unto him, stating that her incantations would not work, and assigned as a reason that he failed to deposit all his money in the hiding-place, as stipulated. lie then added seventy-seven dollars more to the amount, but still the spell which was to result in laying bare the hidden wealth proved unsuccessful. He then agreed to let the Gipsy take the package of money into her keeping, in order to facilitate her conjurations. She kept it several days, then returned with the entire amount, and they counted it over to gether. The Uipsy then informed mm he must, to complete the charm, secrete the package once more, for a period of ten days ; that he must not, in the mean time, look at or go near it. This was assented to, and the package was once more sealed up and committed to ner care. When ten days had expired he proceeded to go to the place of deposit, found the package as he had placed it, but on opening it was amazed to discov er that it contained nothing but scraps of old newspapers. He sought the Gipsy woman at her usual baunt, but the en tire party had folded their tents, like tho Arab3, and silently stolen away." A Massacre of Butchers In India. A Lahore paper reports a shocking outbreak of fanaticism at Umritsur, in the Punjaub. " For some time the Hin doos have been agitating against the butchers of Umritsur to obtain a decree forbidding the slaughter of cattle and the sale of beef in the city. Their ef forts failed, chiefly through the firmness of the Commissioner and the strength of the English and Mussulman party in the Committee. Early one morning, about one or two o'clock, a body of arm ed Hindoos assembled and made a des cent upon Umritsur slaughter-house and attacked the butchers sleeping outside. The murderers were armed with swords and broad-axes, and the butchers, being unarmed and asleep, were unable to save themselves. Four butchers were literally hacked to pieces, and two others were so fearfully cut up that one has 6ince died and the other's life is despaired of. The night was a very dark one, and it will be difficult to recognize the murderers. Accounts vary as to the sect they belong to. From some indications found on the scene of the massacre, it is suspected that the murderers belong to the Nihung sect. But another account states that the Akalies are suspected. The Akalies are a sort of fanatic Sikhs, a semi-sacerdotal class attached to the temples. They are the truculent-looking fellows who wear conical hats about a yard high.cov ered with small weapons, and those steel cluckers or sharp rings which they can hurl with terrible precision and effect. They are respected and considerably feared. The Nihungs again are associ ated with all that are reckless and Bohe mian. Their name, indeed, is a common expression In the Punjaub to represent these qualities. The affair, as may be anticipated, has caused some excitement as it is expected that the matter will not end here. Bad passions on both sides have been aroused, and natives are al ready whispering that other members of the butcher fraternity nave Deen maruea out for destruction." FARM AS HOUSEHOLD. To Make Mats from Sheepskins.--A fresh skin is more easily prepared than one a little dry. A strong soap suds is used to wash the wool, first let ting the water cool so as to be Blightly warm to the hand. In the mean time, pick out all the dirt from the wool that will come out j tLen scrub it well on a washboard. A tablespoonful of kerosene added to three gallons of warm suds will greatly help lhs cleansing process. Wash in another suds, or until the wool looks white and clean. Then put the skin into cold water enough to cover it, and dissolve half a pound of salt and the same quantity of alum in three pints of boiling water ; pour the mixture over the akin, and rinse it up and down in the water. Let it. soak in the water twelve hours, then hang it over a fence or a line to drain. When well drained, stretch it on a board to dry, or nail it on the wall of the wood-house or barn.wool side toward the boards. When nearly dry, rub into the skin one ounce of pow dered alum and saltpetre, (if the skin is largo, double the quantity ;) rub this in for an hour or so. To do this readily the skin must be taken down and spread on a table or flat surface. Fold the skin sides together and hang the mat awny. Rub it every day for three days, tr till perfectly dry. Scrape off the skin with a stick or a blunt knife, till cleared of all impurities ; then rub it with pumice stone, or, if more easily procured, rotten stone will do. Trim it to a good shape, and you have an excellent door-mat. Any intelligent house-wife can dye it green, blue, or scarlet, with the so-called " Family Dyes," either in powder or li quid, and she will have as elegant a door mat as she could desire. Lambs' skins can be similarly prepared and made into caps and mittens. Dyod a handsomo brown or blank, they equal imported Bkins. Still-born lambs, or those who die very young, furnish very soft skins, which if properly prepared would make as handsome sacks, muffs, and tippets its the far-tamed Astrachan. Any farmer b daughter could easily prepare Bkins enough to furnish herself with a hand some suit. Mechanic and Inventor. Keeping Fowls on a Lauoe Scale. Many think that because a small num ber of hens pay well, a largo numbe r will pay in the same proportion. Well, 1 suppose they would, provided there is ample provision made to spread a large number over a space of suitable grounds ; but all attempts that 1 nave seen or read of, where the trial has been made to keep a great number of hens together, have proved failures. The only tmccesn- ful production of poultry on a large soale that I know of, is by the Messrs. Lelands of the Metropolitan Hotel ot New York city. They have some thirty to forty or more acres devoted to poul try breeding, but they are scattered all over it, and kept in a state of nature, as it were, only well supplied with suitable food in abundance. In this way thou sands are kept with success, or at lenst were when I heard from them If I was going into the busintes on a large scale, I would select a piece cf open woodland or large orchards or brush fields should, however, prefer orchards, apple, pear, peach, or plum, is essential. Henneries or chicks should always be placed where they can have shade or sunshino at will ; and if run ning streams pass through the grounds, all the better to save tho labor of water ing the birds. Small portable sheds to roost not over twenty-five to fifty hens each, which could be moved as required by one or two men, with ample suitable nests scattered about in convenient lo calities, the sheds to be so scattered as to give each colony ample roving space, and certainly not more than a hundred head to the acre (50 to an acre would bs better) are best. In this way, with proper care Rnd at tention, I have no doubt that keeping poultry on a large scale can be made to pay, especially if ample arrangements ore made for a good supply of spring chicks. In the winter the hens could be brought in and made to occupy suitable quarters. Cor. Country Gentleman. Thorough Culture. A correspon dent of the Germantown (Pa.1 Telegraph writes: Thorough culture and high ma nuring are essential to profitable farm ing, and this is the right mode of farm ing. It ten acres of land can be made to produce twenty tons of hay, is it not better than to cultivate twenty acres for the same amount t It is loss labor to get twenty tons of hay from ten than from twenty acres. Suppose you are growing twenty-five bushels of corn per acre. You can, by applying moro man ure, with thorough cultivation, get fifty bushels of corn. This might be increased to seventy-five or 100 bushels per acre. What is there to prevent? You can easily test this. Select a small piece of land in your corn field ; plough it a few inches deeper than heretofore, man ure the ground thoroughly, at the rate of twenty carts per acre, plant good seed, then keep out every weed, and the result will astound you. Gardeners un derstand this principle, and they plough nearly two feet deep and apply thirty carts per acre, besides using larg quant ities of commercial manures. For any garden crops the surfaco of the ground two inches deep should be one-fourth manure. In this way, by keeping the ground moist, lettuce can be grown that is tender, large and nice, and so of other crops. The fact is, we cultivate too much land. Says one, " I have so much land I must cultivate it all.' What would you have me do with it '" Better give it away .than half cultivate it. Let it grow up to wood or use it for pas turage. Sell it. Perhaps that would be the best plan. Take the money and im- Erove the rest of the farm. A farmer as 100 acres in his farm, and he keeps as much hay, raises as much produce as the farmer who has 200 acres. Which, therefore, is the better farm the smaller or the larger ? I think you will see at a glance that the smaller farm is the best. I don't say but that the large farm can be made as productive as the smaller, acre for acre ; but this is not often the case. One man from an acre of strawberries will get from ?o00 to $1,000, while another man . will work over a large farm and get only this amount. Lso brains. These, it right ly applied, will give large crops from a small amount ot land. Interest Money. A good story is told of a rather verdant agricultural la borer, who, having by hook and by crook scraped together fifty dollars, took it to his employer, with a request to take care of it for him. A year after the laborer went to another friend, to know what would be the interest on it He was told three dollars. " WeH," said he, " I wish you would lend me three dollars for a day or two. Mv boss has been keeping fifty dollars for me a year, and 1 want to pay him the interest for it. A Curious WIH. One of tho most curious wills ever made was by an Englishman at Mont iraillnrd, in 1822, thus quoted in Once a vVi ck : "It is my will that any one of my relations who shall presume to shed tonrs at my funeral shall be disinherited. He, on the other hand, who laughs the most heartily, shall be my sole heir. . I order that neither the church nor my henrse shall bo hung with black cloth, but that, on the day of my burial, the hearse and the church shall be decorated wth flowers and green boughs. Instead of the tolling of bells, I will have drums, fiddles nnd fifes. All innsicians of Mont gaillard and its environs shall attend the tuneral. Fifty of them shall open the procession with hunting tunes, waltzes, and minuets." dlTERARY NO TICKS. ScnlUNER'S MONTIILT for Bbptember.

If iu. iui cAiroiue weiguiwi When any antidote or remedy for any particular class of diseases obtains a wide-spreading notoriety, it is but rea sonable to suppose that it must merit the popularity it receivos. It is within our province to mention that Dr. J, Walker's California Vinegar Bit ters, so long and favorably known as tho safest and most reliable remedial agent for the cure of Liver, Kidney, Bladder, and Glandular Diseases, Men tal and Physical Debility, and all com plaints emanating from a corrupt state of the blood, &o., are in great demand. So satisfied are we of the intrinsic worth of this medicine, that we do not hesitate to notice it in our columns. It is well to mention that this medicine is com pounded of roots, herbs, and flowers of California, and has no fiery material or alcohol used in its preparation. We can add no better eulogium than the fact that we use it constantly in our family, and each member thereof par takes of it, when necessary, according to directions. The terrifio duel between Prussia and Franco is over, but thousands of battles between Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bit ters and dyspepsia and liver complaint are now going on in every State in the Union. The issue of suob. contests is never for ont moment in douht. The con flict may last longor in some cases than in others, but the Leading Vegetable Tonic and Alterative of ttih Nine teenth Century invariably triumphs. A gentleman in the eastern part of the State, who was about having his leg amputated on account of its being bent at right angles and stiff at the knee, heard of Johnson' Anodyne Liniment. After using it a short time, his leg be came straight, and is now as serviceable as the other. A great many people have asked us of late, " liow do you keep your norae looking m sleek and glossy '" We tell them, its the easiest thing in the world ; give Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Pow der two or three times a week.
