A YOUTHFUL MONSTROSITY.
A Boy With the Instincts of a Dog and
a Hog He Eats Raw Meat and Drinks
Blood.
A warrant was sworn out yesterday be
fore Justice Dyer, for the arrest of Ira
Gavitt, of the town ol Summit, for assault
and battery upon William Henry Forbes,
a boy whom he has employed upon his
farm. The complant alleged that Gavitt
was wont to chaiu the boy up in a room,
and otherwise misuse him. The warrant
was placed in the hands of Policemen
Pierson and Gilson, who proceeded to
Summit and arrested Mr. Gavitt. 3Ir.
Pierson went to the field to serve the
warrant, while Mr. Gilson remained be
hind to watch the boy, who was supposed
to have been tampered with on a previous
occasion, he refusing to appear against
Mr. Gavitt when a similar warrant had
been issued.
While conversing with the lad and
Mrs. Gavitt, Mr. Gibson was informed
by the latter that the boy possessed a very
peculiar and strange appetite, being al
ways hungry, and, unless watched, eating
everything of an edible nature that he
could get his hands on. To show his
ability in this line, the boy was given a
raw egg, which he crushed in his mouth
and swallowed shell aud all. Mr. Gavitt
then gave him two quarts of bread and
milk, which he devoured. Mr. Gavitt
came in with Mr. Pierson at this point,
and, in obedience to Forbes' request, pre
pared 8 half dozen raw eggs, which he
ate in the same manner as an egg-suck-
inj
dog,
working the
shell
out of
or
his
mouin. is a Dreaming spell, ne now
1 4 1
took a large ear of corn, which was fol
lowed by a sauce dish full of sauce, sev
eral cucumbers, and a large slice of pork.
Tho officers interfered and would not al
low him to cat more.
Mrs. Gavitt says that he eats all the
raw eggs he can get hold of, and that
whenever a chicken was killed, be would
seize the fowl and suck the blood Cowing
from the neck. Two years ago, while
killing a cow, Mr. Gavitt left the boy to
watch the carcass while he was away for
a little while. He returned in twenty
minutes, and found that little Forbes had
licked the blood entirely from the hide
which had just been taken off the animal.
, While in the court-room, the boy asked
Mr. Gibson to get him some raw meat.
He procured him something over a pound,
which he devoured as greedily as a vul
ture, and then asked for a couple of quarts
of blood to wash it down. The officer
said he could not get any, but that he
would have some to-day.
Forbes was sixteen years old last April,
although he does not appear to be more
than twelve. He is the son of a quad
room and a Scotchman. He has not a
single African feature, his hair being of
the color of faded tow and straight as an
Indian'b, and his eyes being blue. His
features are screwed up into a peculiarly
wolfish, hungry expression, which would
cause one to look at him more than once.
We asked Mr. Gavitt what was the big
gest meal the boy ever ate, and he inform
ed us that while killing hogs once, he de
voured raw three "belly-pieces" and three
pints of fresh lard.
This monstrosity is certainly the con
necting link in the Drawinian chain.
Mr. Gavitt says that he shall endeavor to
send the boy to Lansing, as he can do
nothing with him. He is obliged to chain
him up to protect his property and keep
enough food on hand lor his family.
Jackson Citizen, Aug. 17.
Goats and Rats.
A correspondent of the Gcrmantown
Telegraph Fays : llcing sadly plagued
with rats about my house and farm build
ings, I tried in vaiu to catch them ; they
arc to cunniug to be trapped, aud to lay
poison I dare not for fear of killing my
dogs, cats and hogs, and to wait for them
with a gun was a loss of too much time,
though I have dropped three at a shut.
At last I purchased two goats, which I
kept about my fold, barn and stables, the
pigpens being iu the fold. In a short
time all the rats emigrated they evacua
ted the place, cleared right out, every
Jack of them, and I have not seen a siu
gle rat about the place for upwards of
three years, but my ueighbors who are
within eighty rods have plenty of all sizes
and ages. Perhaps it is not generally
known that where there are many horses
stabled together,' very little sickness pre
vails if there is a goat kept about the
yard and stables.

Care of Heroes.
A celebrated writer eays : All horses
must not be fed in the same proportions,,
without regard to their ages, their con
stitutions, and their work, because the
impropriety of such a practice is self
evident. Yet it is coustaotly done, and
i the basis of diseases of every kind.
Never use bad hay on- acuouat of ih
cheapness, because there is not proper
nourishment ia it.
Damaged corn is exceedingly injurious,
because it brings on inflammation of the
bowels and skin- diseases.
Chaff is better for old horses than hay,
because they can chew and digest it bet
ter. Mix chaff with corn or beans, and' do
not give the latter alone, because it makes
the horse chew his food more, and digest
it better.
Hay or grass alone will not support a
horse under hard work, because there is
uot sufficient nutritive body iu tither.
Whn a horse is worked hard its food
should chiefly be oats; if nod worked
hard, its food should chiefly be hay, be
cause oats supply more nourishment and
flesh-making material than any other kind;
of food : hay not so much.
For a saddle or coach horse,, half a
peck of sound oats, aud eighteen pounds
of good bay, are sufficient. If the hay is
not good, add a quarter of a peck more
oats. A horse which works harder may
have rather more cf each. One that
works little should have less.
Rack feedisg is wasteful. The better
plan is to feed with chopped hay, from a
manger, because the food is not then
thrown about, and is more easily chewed
and digested.
Sprinkle the hay with water that has
salt dissolved in it, because it is pleasing,
to the animal's taste, and more easily di
gested. A tcaspoonful of salt in a buck
et of water is sufficient.
Oats should be bruised for an old horser
but not for a young one, because the for
mer, through age and defective teeth,,
cannot chew them properly ; the young
horse can do so, and they aso thus pro
perly mixed with the saliva and turned!
into wholesome nutriment.
How to Get Rid of Fleas.
Mr. Ely said, at the last meeting of the
New York Farmers' Club, that there are
two or three substances that are obnoxious
to the flea he doesn't liU the smell of
them, or thsy remind him of something
he doesn't like to think aboat these are
carbolic acid and sulpher. If you want
a barn thoroughly purged oi weevil, or
Hce, or flea, the best way i to fumigate
w,tn sulpher. JJut if you white-wash all
around the stables and posts of the yard'
with a wash made by adding carbolic acid
to the lime, it will drive iuo& of these
pests away. Washing an aaimat thud
'infested with crubolic soap suds will give
it relijf.
