An Ice Home tor Five Dollars.
A neighbor of mine, sny a corres
pondent, has an inclor"ire of about six
feet square in t,b.o clear, and six feet
high. The rralls are formed of old
refuse timbers thrown closely together,
with no regard to form or comeliness.
The roof is made of hemlock boards.
The entire cost of the building did not
exceed five dollars, and, practically con
sidered, it is a success not ambitious
of containing thirty-five loads of ice,
but simply live loads. Two years this
little, unpretentious house has been
wsod for ice, and never yet dis
honored a draft upon its crystal de
posit. About Bix inches of sawdust
was spread upon the ground floor, and
in packiug.a space of about nine inches
was left between the ioe and the walls
of the building for sawdust, and about
nine inches of sawdust was spread upon
the top of the ice, and the thing was
fixed. The three main principles ob
served here will always insure a supply
of ice, viz : good ventilation, good
drainage, and plenty of sawdust. With
these rules adhered to, a Corner of any
old pen-shed will prove quite efficient
iu preserving ics.

Stewing Chickens. Parboil two fine
chickens ; take them up in a large dish;
cut them up, and separate all the joint
bones one from another. Then take
out the breast-bone, add a little of the
water they were stewed in, a blade of
inace and a pinch of salt. Cover close

Curb fob Citorp. When the symp
toms appear, immediately fold a towel,
dip it in cold water, and apply it to tha
child's breaBt and throat ; then wrap a
blanket closely around him. Or, bathe
the feet well iu warm water, at the same
time rubbing the throat and breast with
mutton tallow or goose-grease ; then
envelope in a warm blanket. Either of
these modes will check the disease till
the arrival of a physician, and in many
cases will of thcmseles effect a cure.
Buns. Three cups of milk, one cup
of yeast, one cup of sugar, and flour to
make it sponge ; let it rise over night,
then add another cup of sugar and one
of butter ; mold them into small bis
cuits. Salt na nil 'Aid to Manure,
About five o'clock one fine summer's
morning, I noticed that where the salt
had been sown the previous day, every
grain of salt had attached to itself the
dew, and formed on the surface a wet
spot about the size of a sixpence, the
ground being generally very dry. On
our light lands it consolidates them
and makes them epecially firm and ac
ceptable to the wheat plant, whose
straw will stand firm and erect, although
four and a half to fivo feet long. It is
also unfavorable to certain weeds by
this consideration. It prevents the
ravages of the wire worm. It is
especially favorable to saline plants,
such as mangolds, whose ashes contain
fifty per cent, of salt. I never sow
guano, except mixed with its own
weight of salt. Like everything else,
it has, I am sorry to say, greatly risen
in price. I observe that all crops seem
to thrive well on land near salt water,
especially where the land is drained.
Care ot Hogs.
The Colonial Farmer says : " A
practical breeder gives the following
advice, which, in the main, we think
sound, for those whose herds are not too
largo and who are engaged in mixed
husbandry. Te handle hogs to the best
advantage, a pasture is needed of green
grasses clover, blue grass and timothy
and it is best if there is no running
water or stock ponds in the lot. Hogs
do better where there are no branches
or stock ponds to wallow in. In place
thereof, have good well-water pumped
for them. Have troughs made, and
nail strips across eight inches apart, to
keep the hogs from lying down in the
water, and let the hogs be put on floors,
to keep them from digging up wallow
ing holes. If any feed be given, it
should be soaked in swill barrels for 12
hours before feeding no longer and
fed to them as drink.
KvcrlaKting Fence Posts.
I discovered, many years ago, that
wood could be made to last longer than
iron in the ground, but thought the
process so simple and inexpensive that
it was not worth while making any stir
about it. I would as soon have poplar,
basswood, or quaking asp as any other
kind of timber for fence posts after
having been set seven years, which
were as sound when taken out as when
they were first put in the ground.
Time and weather seem to have no effect
on them. The posts can be prepared
for less than two cents apiece. This is
the recipe : Take boiled linseed oil
and stir it in pulverized charcoal to the
consistency of paint. Put a coat of
this over the timber, and there is not a
man that will live to see it rot.
Soiling Cowl.
It will certainly pay to judiciously
soil cows on a small farm. There is no
other way by which so much milk can
be produced on a given number of
acres. When you have put your land
in proper condition a cow can be kept
upon one-half acre for summer, and one
acre for winter. Even better than this
has been done. Starting this late, ore
pare the ground well, and sow one
eighth of an acre of oats thickly for
each cow as early as you can ; two or
three weeks alter sow the same amount
of land to oats for later cutting. Then
prepare the ground and sow one-fourth
of an acre of corn for each cow. This
will probably leave a surplus for win
ter feeding.
Sew Use For Petroleum,
Mr. Julius Hock, a Viennese engineer,
residing in London, has invented a new
method of using petroleum as a motive
power. His invention does away with
boiler and furnace, throwing the petro
leum in minute quantities in the form
of spray into the cylinder of the engine
itself where it is fired or exploded, the
power thus produced being transmitted
by the piston moving in the cylinder.
Petroleum has heretofore been employ
ed for this purpose by three methods :
first, the petroleum or hydro carbon
has been mixed with the ordinary solid
f nel in the furnace ; second, the hydro
carbon employed has been vaporised by
the air, forming an "air gas" which has
been conveyed to a tubular boiler and
burned in pits ; and, third, the liquid
has been injeoted in the furnace in
sprays by a steam injector.

A STRUGGLE IN TIIE MOUNTAINS.
Mow a Panther Tackled an KnRltshman,
and how the Panther nil Killed.
A correspondent sends the following
very thrilling acoontat pt a desperate
struggle with a mammoth ctn&ountin
the Blue Mountain, about seven miles
from Fcstheiolfville, on the extreme
northern edge of Albany township, to
the Beading (Pa.) Eagle ; I have just
learned the particulars of an encounter
had on the mountains, which hns caused
a great deal of talk iu this section. For
weeks past people coming down or
crossing the hills have reported at vari
ous times having seen a large wild ani
mal, and others as having heard deep
growls and strange noises at certain
hours of the night. A farmer along the
base of the hills, earned Ezra Season
ing, lost two young calves and an en
tire litter of yonng pigs iu the short
space of eight days, and he attributed
the loss totho inoursionsof this strange
animal,
These reports came to the ears of
Budolph Pfleger, an old hunter find
trapper who has passed fully forty years
on the mountains. He made several
efforts to hunt up the strange animal,
but to no purpose. At last he con
cluded to organize a small hunting
party. He had some one to write to
Sohuylkill county to two old friends of
his who were also engaged in hunting,
and who had likewise passed more than
half their lives on the mountains. They
arrived on foot over the hills, ana
stopped at the cabin of Pfleger. Their
names are Henry Vancolt and Thomas
Anson, two Englishmen, who first came
to the mines when the canal was built,
but gave up their business and took to
the hills soon afterward.
The three started out on different
pathways, the men having previously
agreed to met at the "big tree," a
point about five miles off in the moun
tains. They were well armed, and de
termined to hunt up the mysterious
animal if it were possible. Nothing
happened to any of the party up to the
time when Pfleger and Vancolt arrived
at the tree, which was within a half
hour of each other. Nothing was seen
or heard of Anson. Tiie Bun had gone
down behind the hills, and the forest
was becoming gloomy in the dusk. An
son was making his way slowly and
cautiously through a deep and tangled
underbrush, and when about one hun
dred yards from tho point of meeting,
he determined to pass np through a
small ravino, whoso sides were over
hung with a dense nrtdergrowth of
shrubs. When directly under a small
crag, and walking along with his head
bent to the ground and his form
doubled in creeping under a low vine,
au 01 a snaaen lie heard a crash over
head, and the next minute he felt the
claws of en auinial sink in his neck and
flesh, accompanied with fierce growls.
By a very ouick movement, Anson
swung around his arms, grasped the
animal by the neck with both hands,
and held it in his vice-like grip. He
then staggered back to the clearing,
when the animal shook off the hunter's
grasp, and made an effort to bite his
neck. Quick as thought the man
grasped a knife in his belt, and with
fearful velocity swung it around and
sunk it deep into the animal's side.
The brute gave a long, low howl, and
amidst the excitement man and beast
rolled over on the ground, and as they
did so the former received three severe
bites in tho shoulder. The growls of
the animal attracted the attention of
the remaining two hunters, who came
dashing through the brush toward the
spot where the hunter and the brute
were tusselling on the ground. Tho
struggle did not last long. Anson
plunged his knife the seoond time into
the animal's body, and in a few minutes
it rolled over and died.
The hunters then examined it and
found it to bo a species of panther, and
which was thought to be a catamount
of the mammoth species. It weighed
246 pounds, and measured i feet 5
inches long, not counting the length of
its tail, which was 2 feet 1 inch. It
stood 2 feet 8 inches high, and was
powerfully knit and very compactly
built.
St"am ts. Horse.
On the 28th of August, 1830, some
days before the opening of the Liver
pool and Manchester railroad Mr.
Cooper made his engine draw an open
car, with passengers, to Ellicott's Mills,
thirteen miles from Baltimore. The
return was made in fifty-seven minutes.
The engine was very small.
The stage proprietors did not take
very kindly to the revolution in travel
ing, and met the engine at the Belay
House, on its return a gray horse, of
great beauty and power, being harness
ed to another car on the second track ;
for Mr. Scharf says, "the company
had begun to make two tracks to the
mills." Then a race took place. At
first tho gallant gray had the best of it,
for his steam was up and on, while the
engine had to wait until the rotation of
the wheels set the blower to work.
Soon, when this was done, it became a
well-contested race. As Mr. Scharf
narrates :
" The blower whistled ; the steam
blew off in vapory clouds ; the pace in
creased ; the passengers shouted ; the
engine gained on the horse ; soon it
lapped him ; the silk was plied ; the
race was neck-and-neck,nose-and-nose :
then the engine passed the horse, and
a great hurrah hailed the victory. But
it was not repeated, for just at this
time, when the gray's master wa about
giving up, the band driving the pulley,
which drove the blower, slipped from
the drum, the safety-valve ceased to
scream, and the engine, for want of
breath, began to wheeze and pant. In
vain Mr. Cooper (who was his own engine-man
and fireman) lacerated his
hands in attempting to replace the
band upon the wheel in vain he tried
to urge the fire with light wood. The
horse gained on the maohine, and pass
ed it ; and although the band was pres
ently replaced and steam again did its
best, the horse was too far ahead to be
overtaken, and came in the winner of
the raoe."
Ad Ingenious Defence,
In the Police court at Chicago, a few
days ago, a wife thus ingeniously ex
plained away serions charges of harsh
treatment of her poor husband: One
day, when she was running across the
room with a fork in her hand, he jump
ed in the way and struck his wrist
against the fork, wrenching it from her
grip by the prongs, which he ran into
his wrist. Then he endeavored to
strike her, but she held up a pan of hot
dish-water between them, and he spill
ed it all over his head. Then he got
still more angry at this accident, and
started to jump at her, but his head
came against her hand, and he fell
down. She took hold of his hair to
raise him up, and the hair was moisten
ed by the hot water, bo that it came
out. 'Then she saw it was no use to
reason with him any longer, and she
left the bouse,
Cuba and the United States.
Just now the Cuban question is one
of the topics of the day, and the papers
ate discuBBing the subject with muoli
earnestness. The Washington corre
spondent of the Georgetown, S. 0.,
Planter takes the following view of the
question :
The holders of Cuban bonds here are
making a determined effort to embroil
us with Spain, by inducing Congress to
recognize the independence of Cuba.
These speculators, Cubans and Ameri
cans, chiefly the latter, have the great
advantage over the Spanish Govern
ment that they can lobby, visit news
paper offices, and tell their own story,
call public meetings and make speeches
distribute bonds, make large promises,
and influence publio opinion by a thou
sand " ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain," to which a government
cannot resort. The Spanish minister
caunot do any of these things. There
are only three American citizens with
whom the Government of Spain can
hold legitimate official intercourse on
this important subject of the recogni
tion of Cuba the President of the
United States, the Secretary of State,
and the American Minister at Madrid.
Under these circumstances, it is not
strange that Congress, the press, and
the people at large, whose knowledge
of Cuban affairs is based exclusively on
the one-sided statements of interested
parties, should misunderstand the
duties and the material interests of the
government and people of the United
States, in regard to this proposed recog
nition of Cuba. We have never yet had
any disinterested evidence that the in
surgents In Cuba are entitled to our
respeot and our sympathy, because of
their purity of motive and purpose j
or that they are so numerous, aid
powerful, and have so fair a prospect
of success, that nations at peace with
Spain would be justified in recognizing
their independence.
Only a few years ago, there were sev
eral millions of people in the United
States who wished to dissolve their con
nection with the federal government.
Among these were some of tho wealth
iest men, and many of the first states
men aud best military and naval offi
cers of high rank in the country. Thero
were among the insurgents, also, many
men of unblemished private character,
some thousands of clergymen of all de
nominations, and some hundreds of
thousands of active members of the
various Christian churches. These
millions of insurgents were backed,
heart and soul, by mothers, wives and
daughters ; had old, strong, and stable
State governments ; and organized
themselves into a powerful confed
eracy. They equipped and sent into
the field, against the United States,
from which they had seceded, immense
armies. They fitted out war vessels,
that all but swept our commerce from
the seas. For nearly five years they
stood their ground. To subdue them
cost us half a million of lives, and a
debt of some $2,000,000,000, which we
shall probably never cancel. Yet, dur
ing all that war, wo protested against
the recognition, by foreign powers of
the confederacy formed by these re
bellious States ; and mainly upon the
ground that, without such recognition,
they could not succeed in achieving
their independence, and that foreign
nations had no right to interfere in our
domestic quarrels.
And what more right have we to in
terfere in Cuba than Spain, and France,
and England had to interfere in our
civil war? The carnage here was ten
thousand times more than it has been
in Cuba. The fact of the matter is that
there never would have beon a rebellion
in Cuba, if it had not been excited by
mercenary men in this country, and it
would collapse in six months, were it
not for expected aid from the United
States. Let us take heed. We are in
no condition to interfere in the domes
tic affairs of other nations. Our civil
war is hardly over. We have a large
country, and various interests to care
for more than we can well attend to,
Let us look after our finances, our cur
rency, our system of transportation,
lest dissatisfaction may cause another
rebellion in some section of the Union,
and foreign nations may combine to
disintegrate our country by acknow
ledging tho independence of our rebels.
A Labor Strike.
Mr. Sullivan, one of tho contractors
for grading the Capitol grounds of
Washington, becran work, paying labor
ers $1 per day. Most of the men struck
and drove away those willing to work.
Mr. Sullivan then offered to pay 81.25,
the same as is being paid by contrac
tors on other sections of the work ; but
the men refused to resume work for
less than $1.50, and the work remains
suspended. Some two or three hundred
men, mostly colored, gathered around
the grounds and posted the following
notice :
"We had rather beg than work for
loss than 1.50 per day. If others at
tempt to work for less we will fight.
This thing of swindling the laboring
men has got to stop. Wages paid in
Charleston, $2.50 ; Baltimore, $2 ; New
lork, $3 ; ltichmond, $1.75. The wages
they offer us is 75 cents. Don't work
for less than 81.50. "
The men declare that they will not
interfere with those on tne two sec
tions on which work has been com'
menced, where $1.25 is being paid, but
after these small jobs are finished no
one will be allowed to work for less than
$1.50 per day. No serious disturbance
is anticipated, a body of policemen
being on hand to prevent any out'
break.
How He Got His Horse.
The origin of the once famous racing
iiorse Jioston is tims desoribed by a cor
respondent : This celebrated racer,
sire of the King of the Turf and grand-
sire of more celebrities in horseflesh
than any one cares to name, was owned
in Virginia in his early days, and has
the good fortune to win the most dis
tineuished consideration of John Ban'
dolph. A Kentucky gentleman visiting
the Virginia owner of the great racer
before the latter had earned for him
self a name greatly admired him, and
asked his owner his price. He was told
$500. 'WelL' said the Kentuckian,
" I'll play you a game of Boston ' to
night and if I win $500 I will the horse,
The original name of the game of cards
Boston was, it appears, ' boasting,
which was contracted into 1 Uoston,
The game was played, the money won,
and the horse purchased with the wiu-
nings next day, and in commemoration
of the manner iu which he had acquired

Winning Golden Opinions.
Perhaps no man living has won more
golden opinions than Dr. Walker, as
the enormous and widely increasing sale
of his California Vineoab Bitters at
tests. We never look into one of our
exchanges, but there is a panegyrio of
the Bitters staring us in the face. Our
readers will say that there must be a
reason for all this praise. They are
right. The efficacy of this celebrated
medioine is established by evidence
which it is impossible to doubt. Among
the thousands who have borne testi
mony to its excellence, there is not one
dissentient voice. In very many phases
ui murgamo disease it seems 10 no un
failing. All diseases arising from a vi
tiated state of the blood are surely
eradicated by it. It is an effectual
remedy for pulmonary complaints, bil
ious, remittent and intermittent fevers,
rheumatism and dyspepsia. It purges
the body of all unhealthy humors, gives
tone to the system, and where the vital
powers are enfeebled, restores their
functions to vigorous and healthy ao-
tion. au tins it does tne more ettectu-
ally, because its operation is not inter
fered with by the presence of alcohol.
The Vineoab Bitteus is perfectly free
from any such hurtful ingredient. We
have always believed that plants con
tain the true remedies for disease, and
all the remedies necessary. Dr. Walk
er is on the line of real progress, and
we hope that he will not rest en his
present discoveries. Cwn.

RATIONAL AND BUCCESBFtJL TREATMENT.
A largo variety of diseased conditions are pro
duced by liver complaint. By curing the dis
ease of the liver we remove the rnntf, and
thereby radically cure, not only the liver com
plaint, but also the various other diseased
conditions produced by it
It is generally the custom to tako strong
liver stimulants for the liver complaint, and
both the mineral and vegetable kingdom have
beon diligently searched to procure tho most
drastic and poisonous purgatives, in order to
produco a powerful effect upon the liver, and
rouse the lagging and enfeeblod organ. Those
medicines are given freely and in large doses,
which keep the liver in au excited condition
while under their influence. This system of
treatmont is on the same principle as that of
giving a weak and debilitated man large por
tions of brandy to enable him to do a certain
amount of work. Every intelligent person can
readily see. or imagine, the condition the msu
would bo iu when tho work was done and the
brandy withheld ; and it is just so with the
liver. Wbon tho stimulant is withheld, the
organ rapidly rolapscs into a more torpid or
sluggisn ana weaKoneu condition than l.efore.
What, then, is wanted ? Evidently medicines,
that, while they arouse the liver to action, will
do it, not by an irritating and stimulating
offect, as is produced by a dose of great, repul
sive, sickening, drastio pills, calomel, blue
mass, mandrake, or podophyllum, but by a
tonic invigorating and strengthening influence
upon that organ. Medicines are wanted that,
while they cause the bile to flow freely from
tne liver, as mat organ is toned into action.
will, when their use is discontinued, leave the
liver strengtlifned and healthy. Such medicines
am happy to have beon ablo to discover and
introduce to the afflicted for their relief and
cure. As a remedy for all the various main
testations of disease resulting from " Liver
Complaint," as it is usually termed, and aB a
blood purifier, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery ia positively uneoualed. By it the
liver and stomach are changed to an active,
healthy state, the appetito regulated and re
stored, the blood and secretions thoroughly
purified and enriched, and the whole system
renovated ana mint up anew.
Its action is mild, yot pomtiee and lastina.
It does not siniply pilliate the disease, and re
lieve it, for the time being, but it producos
radical and lasting henefit.
There are, nowever, some peculiar constitu
tions on which the Discovery will not prove
sufficiently laxative to unclog the bowels, and
instead of takiug it in larger doses than two
toaspoonfuls four timos a day, if that quantity
doeB not move the bowels twice iu twonty-four
hours, take from one to throe of Dr. Tierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets each dav. or lust
gumcieni to produce tne aesircu relaxation,
which should fall short of a catbartio effect
In fact, the combined use of the Pellots and
the Discovery from the first, in the mild doses
which I recoinmond, will be found most cflc?
tive in arousing the secretion of the livor, aud
subduing congestion or lnnamatiou or that or
gan. Do not use any other laxative or cathartic
with the uiscovcry. as none other is so vu:I
calculated to work in harmony with and uhit
the Discovery in its congenial operation.
Other cathartics will frequently counteract and
interfere with, or neutralize the power and
good offeets or the JJiscovery; they should
not, tnereforo. ue usoa. Aiiese utile rurg&ura
Pellets, or Sugar-Coated, Boot and llvrbol
Juice, Auti-Bilious Granules, on tho oil
hand, are so compounded as to harmonize with
and assist the Discovery.

A CCRE OF LIVER DISEASE.
Ri'sk, Tex., May 10, 1873.
Dr. B. V. Pierce JJearMr: My wife last
year at this time was confined to her bed with
Chronic Liver Disease. I had one of the host
doctors to see her, and ho gave her np to dio.
when I camo upon some of your medicines.
bought one bottle and commenced using it.
She thou weighed 82 pounds, now she weighs
140 pounds, and is robust and hearty. She has
taken eight bottlos iu all, so you see I am au
advocate or your medicines.
WM. MJSAZEL.
A WONDEtt TO HERSELF.
Tanktows, Delaware Co., O., March 20, 1873
To Dr. It. V. Pierce : Your Discovery needs
only a fair trial, and it will do all you recom
mend it to do, ana more too. When 1 was 15 I
caught cold, aud for 28 years I have been
periect wrecK or disease, and all the medicines
aud doctors' bills have run up at times to $200
ana :iuu, ana never any better, but worse.
when I gave up all hopes last spring of living
tne summer turougu. i receiyea one or your
Account Books, and told my husband, aftor
reading it, that it was too late to try further, but
he said it was never too late. He went and
bought two bottles, and I found it was helping
me very much. Since 1841 I was troubled
with Catarrh aud Bore Throat, and was almost
entirely deaf in one ear, and my voice was dull
as could be. There was constant pain in my
head. Now my head is as sound as a dollar,
my voioe is dear, and I have used ten bottlos
of your Discovery. It has cured mo of Catarrh
Bore Throat, Heart Disease, Hnine Affection,
aud Torpid Liver. Mv liver was very bad.
My skin was rough. When I put my hand on
my body it was like fish scales. Now it is
smooth and Boft as a child's. In conclusion, I
will say I have been well for three months. I
am a wonder to myself and friends. This is
but an imperfect statement ; half has not been
told. Yours with respect.

Dr. R. V. Piebce, Buffalo, N. Y. Sir : I
have now taken four bottles of your Golden
Medical Discovery iu connection with your

taken for my liver haa done me so muoh good.
I feel like a new man. Thanks to your won
