next question was how to get posses
sion of the cattle, and it was finally
determined to drag them to the east
side of the river, where the current
was strongest and let them go over
the fulls, where the current would
carry their bodies to the shore. Sev
eral ropes were obtained for 4 his
purpose, and one was attached to
each cow and thev were led to the
cast side, where the current soon car
ried them off their legs and swept
them over, but five were rescued

Several butchers were assembled
along the shore lx'low the fulls, and
as soon as a ai cass ar,"cnrcd it was
hauled aliore and subjected to the
butchers' instruments. Those who
came out alive were greeted with
loud cheers from the immense crowd
that had assembled by this Mme.
Old men and young men, ladies and
children, all gathered to see the great
sight. Over twelve thousand people
were collected at the vaiious points
before the 1at animal had gone over
the falls. There were some curious
incidents ronnected with the event
which deserve mention. Foremost
among these is the action of one noble
aniiiial that came out alive, lie
struggled very hard to breast the
current, but slipped and was on the
vciy edge of the precipice when he
regained his footing. He turned,
and to tLe"surpriesc of all, forced his
way up against the stream. When
turn'ng around at the brink, his hind
legs were seen to fall over, but the
great strong fellow made an effort
and succeeded, while the crowds
around cheered him lustily. AVhen
he had gone up about fifteen feet, be
again slipped and was carried back
to the edge, lie stood there in bold
relief for some time, a noble-looking,
large animal. Every movement was
watched with intense interest by the
breathless crowd, above around and
below him. When he turned his
head from side to side, and gazed on
the waters that roared around, and
the gulf that yawned below him,
there was a murmer of sympathy in
the immense crowd. He made one
or two stroitg efforts to turn and
again fight the current, but seemed
tio near the edge to get around
without l)eing swept over. He stood
a few minutes with his head erect,
ad gazing down at the valley before
J - in. Then there was a sad looking,
i low shaking of the head, as though
he recognized the fact thai he must
fall, lie made one step, and in a
moment more was seen in the rapid
torrent. Thousands of eyes turned
upon the water below, expecting
him to float out a dead body, for he
'.ad gone down head first to the rocks
below. But no such fate was his.

seen to shoot up through whirling

The idea that the dairy business
ran le successfully prosecuted only
iu a few favored localities and upon
a certain kind of soil, has for some
years been gradually giving way, as
knowledge and experience have,
from time to time, abundantly deru
onFtroted the fallacy of this notion.
Befurc the factory system was intro
duced, and when the art of making
line butter and cheese was confined
to a comparatively few people am to
certain sections of the country, the
failure to produce a goml article in
new localities was naturally enough
attributed, for the most part, to the
soil, or some delect in the luod which
it produced. It is true the food
which the cow eats has sc". thing to
do with the quality and Ua vr of the
goods made from her milk : but it
has been found that good milk can
lc produced from a great variety of
grasses and other foods, and it is not
conGned within the narrow limits
which it was at one time supposed.
It was Mr. Harding, the exponent of
Cheddar cheese making in England,
w ho first announced the proposition,
we believe, that good cheese could be
made from the milk of cows pastured
on any kind of soil that would grow
good grass. He was employed by
the Scotch agricultural societies to
go into Scotland and introduce the
Cheddar method of cheese manufac
ture, aurHie found that quite as good
hee6e could be made by this process
in Scotland as in Somersetshire,
England, although in some instances
the milk required skill and a wide dif
ference in handling. He concluded,
therefore, that good cheese could be
be made from the milk of cows pan-
tured on a diversity of soil by skill in
manipulating the milk, and that the
not unfrequent failures experienced
by old dairymen in making a fine
product w ben changing from one lo
cality to another, were due in a great
measure, to want of variation in
handling milk, and in not adapting
their process of manufacture to meet
circumstances, or the new conditions
of the localities where they were
placed. These views are, without
doubt in a great measure correct

In a recent lecture in Uoston, Vr.
Crown Sequard said :
In superior animals, and m the
mammals, particularly, an inmryto
the auditorv nerve prodnccs also very
frequently great disorderly move
ments Those phenomena have been
considered ns depending on Bomethiug
else than the irritation of the nerve;
there are semi-circular canals in the
car which have been considered as
having peculiar power. But I think
the question is clearly decided, for
in frogs we can reach the nerve
without touching at all these semi
circular canals, and we produce those
phenomena I have wcationcd. It is
thas certain that the nerve of audition
has a power in that way to produce
verv disorderly movements,
In man, an affection of this nerve
is frequently followed by the greatest
disorder. I have been called more
than once to see patients who have
been considered as afflicted with
a serious affection of the brain, but
who had nothing but an affection of
the auditoiy nerve, more or less
quickly controlled, and at any rate
not threatening a fatal termination,
as the supposed disease would have
don ;. In one of these cases an abscess
in the mastoid bone behind the car
was the cause of all the trouble. The
l i.b vess was opcccd.and the patient got
vcy
I saw the patient at hlmira,
and the able physician who perform
ed the operation, and the cure was
perfect
"There are some other case3 wmrb
consist not merely in a disorder in
movement, but also in some disorder
of the mind associated with it,
There are cases in which, through
some irritation, a patient will utter
certain words and lot always the
most desirable words. A most emi
nent mathematician one of four or
five most able and ingenious mathe
maticians of the age is sunenng
from this affection. He is certainly,
as regards power of mind, above
most men with whom I am acquaint
ed. But verv frequently, under this
affection, a word, and often one which
no man in society oupht to utter,
will come to his lips. He has some
times the power to contract his lips
before the sound comes out, so that
he can be saved the mortification of
bping heard. But sometimes it oc
curs with such rapidity that it is ut
tered fully, and the poor man has the
mortification of saying something
that very few educated men would
say. My friend Dr. E. C. Seguin
related the case of a clergyman who
was troubled in this way, and whose
affection took a peculiar form. Im
mediately after having begun the
Lord's wraper, after having said 'Our
Father which art in Heaven,' he in
variably exclaimed, 'Let Hint stay
there.' " Of course he had to give up
preaching.
"A lady of the highest nobility in
England had to leave court for a
similar reason. She gave utterance
to the most unpleasant things for
people to hear. 'You arc very stu
pid or this is madness in you.' And
she said those things to the Queen or
to anybody else, and that quite sud
denly, frequently interrupting a con
versation for the purpose. In two of
these cases, that of the mathematician
and the lady, both of whom I hare
seen, I have ascertained that the affec
tion was dependant on the irritation
of certain parts of the stomach and
bowels. ,
Once a patient, a young lady, waB
brought to mo by her father. My of
fice was up stairs at the time. I hap
pened to be down stairs when the
prontlctnan came. I asked him to jro
up, and told him I would follow in a
few minutes. The father turned to
me and said. 'Please pay attention.'
I did not know what he meant, but I
said, 'Is your daughter so very ill "
'Oh, no, but just listen.' I listened.
and just then the lady called out
'Hoo! hoo! boo!' (imitating a peculiar
unreportable tone, in which the sound
was uttered.) J I is daughter was af
flicted with that peculiar trouble
which has no name in science, which
consists in the ejaculation of the sound
of a word. Some of these patients,
especially those who are hysterical,
bark like dogs; which has given rise
to the name hysterical barking.
"There arc many other facts which
show that even attacks of the great
convulsive affections may be brought
on by a mere touch, or mere tickling.
When I was lecturing in St. Barthol
omew's Hospital in 1 80S, a young
patient came to consult me who was
an epileptic, and who could not be
touched in the back part of the head
without having an attack. His fel
low; students there had the cruelty
to press on the back part of his head
verv frequently. As he had no
chance in life, he thought, except in
the study of medicine, and as he could
not endure the treatment he received
there, he was thrown into despair
and so committed suicide.
Married at Lat.
The Geneva, New York, Courier
reports that a remarkable wedding
occurred near Hammondsport, Steu
lien county a few days ago. It says;
"About thirteen years ago, one Silas
Silslte, having formed an attachment
for another mrn's wife, quietly bought
the woman of her husdand, giving
him in consideration a gun and a
watch. Ever since the woman in all
respects has been a faithful wife to
Silas, and to all appearances they
have been as happy as the majority
of married people; they have a son
twelve years old. Lately a protract
ed meeting has been held in the
neighborhood, which has awakened
the conscience of Silas; and as a result
he became dissatisfied w ith the condi

told the woman that he could no
longer consider her his wife, nor
treat her as such, unless they were

Mr. Gates was called to the residense
of Silsbe, and in the presence of the
twelve year old 6on they were uni

emerged penniless from the unequal
contest he nad maintained, vuuung
North, he turned his attention to the
preservation of milk, and in 1853
claimed a patent for "producing con
centrated sweet milk by evaporation
in vacuo, the same having no sugar j
or other foreign matter mixed with
it." The inventor had parted with
all but three-eighths of his interest,
in the patent.when, after two unsuc
cessful attempts to establish works,
the New York Condensed Milk Com-;
pany was formed, and began busi
ness on an extensive scale at as
saic, Dutchess county, N. Y. This
was in 18C0, soon alter which the
civil war caused the produce to be
come quickly and extensively known, I
as it became an essential article in
military and nary supplies. The
business of milk condensing rapidly
expanded, and works were built
at Brewster's Station, on the Har
lem line, and at Elgin, forty-two
miles from Chicago, in both of which
Mr. Bordon owned one-balf. During
the war, when the soldiers needed
meat juices in a condensed form,
Mr. Bordon resumed his experimen
tal labors, and produced od extract
of beef of superior quality. Finding
during late years that i: cost retard
ed the sale of this article, he devoted
much time and money to establish its
manufacture in Texas, where it could
be made cheaply and well. Mr. Bor
don also made excellent preparations
in a condensed form of tea, coffee
cocoa, prepared pemmican for use
upon Dr. Kane's polar expeditions,
and succcded in condensing juices so
as to retain all that constitutes the
peculiar value of the fruit from which
they were made. Mi. Bordon made
liberal use of the great wealth which
he had acquired. Among other acts
of practical benevolence it is men

Colonel C. C. Fulton writes the
following to the Baltimore American
What is regarded as the greatest
of all cattle ranches in Southern Tex
as, is that of Captain King, located
in Ncnces county, about thirty-eight
miles southwest of Corpus Christi, on
Santa Gertrude s Creek. It is un
doubtedly the prettiest homestead in
the country, surrounded by all the
comforts and luxuries that money
can purchase, indicating a fine taste
on the part of the proprietor and his
family, which is not usual among the
cattle ranches of Texas. Mrs. King
is of a Vermont family, and has be
come much attached to her Texan
home, where she has reared a family
of five children, the elder of whom
are approaching maturity.
The dwelling and improvements, as
well as all the out-buildings of Cap
tain King's place, were constructed
with an especial view to the purpose
for which they are intended, and in
cluding a large brick storehouse.
His stables arc of the most modern
construction, as the rearing and im
proving of the breed of horses and
cattle is part of his wonderful exten
sive business. Jfe has also a slaught
er house on his place, where he dis
poses of his superabundant stock, by
retaining only the hide, tallow and
bones, and throwing the balance on
the "hash pile."
Captain King has an inclosed past
ure of 70,000 acres, though he owns
about 150,000 acres of land in Nec
ces and Duval counties. The entire
stock held by him at the present time
is 50,000 head of cattle, 20,000 head
of sheep and 10,000 head of horses.
He over stocked Lis inclosed pasture
to such an extent last fall that he
was compelled to turn a great many
out "on the range" again, although
be sent 4,000 head to Kansas and
slaughtered 4,000 bead mere for their
hides and tallow. He disposes annu
ally of about 8,000 head of cattle
either by sale or slaughter, notwith
standing which his stock is steadily
on the increase. If the shipping of
stock is commenced at Corpus Chris
ti he will probably find a market for
some of them here.
He has recently purchaed another
ranche in Cameron county, on which
be has 10.000 head of cattle, and at
tached to which is abo it 10,000 acres
of land. He is making extensive ex
periments in the improvement of the
stock of the Mate, having imported
a great many head of the finest Ken
tucky cattle to intermix with the na
tive grades. The improvement of
horse stock in also commanding much
of bis attention.

It does neither. An ulcerated tongue
was lately cut entirely out at the
Royal Free Hospital in London.
Within a week the man was heard
distinctly to say, '1 would like to
have some beet tea.' Blindfold a
man and tell him to open his mouth
wide and keep it open, put salt on
his tongue or a drop of wormwood
oil; he cannot tell the difference,
Take half a teacup of ice water, pour
it into the centre of a dose of castor
oil; open the mouth, put the rim of
the cup far back on the tongue, toss
up the cup down goes the oil without
a taste of it, as long as you keep your
mouth open, or do not allow the oil
to touch the lips. Is taste then in
the lips? To produce the sensation
or taste, the tongue, the lips

in contact at tbo same time, or in the

"One time," says a writer, "whilst
enjoying a visit from an Englishman,
hickory nuts were seved in the even
ing, when my English friend asked
for salt stating that be knew of the
case of a woman eatmir heartily of
nuts in the evening, who was taken
violently ill. The celebrated Pr.
Akenetby was sent for, but it was af
ter he had become rather too fond of
bis cups. He muttered, 'Salt, salt,'
of which no notice was taken. Neit
morning he went to the place, and she
was a corpse. He said that had thev
given ner sail it would have relieved
her. If they would allow him to
1 a.-.
make an examination, he would con
vince them. On opening tbe stom
ach tbe nuts were found in a mass.
He sprinkled salt on this, and imme
diately it dissolved. I have known
of a sudden death myself which ap
peared to Lave been from tbe same
ause. I generally eat salt with
mine, and I think it improves them.

The farm I now live on, says a
correspondent of the Ohio Farmer,
was several years since an unproduc
tive, wet and ngncisb place, inn
after undcrdrainicg it with fire miles
of tile, it has becomo a very produc
tive, healthy, paying, valuable and
desirable farm. 1 nave increased
the crop of corn by tile drains from
twenty bushels of inferior to eighty
bushels of good, sound corn. Before
laid the drains I could with care
ful culture produce from five to ten
bushels of inferior wheat., but after
the tile drain was laid, I have had no
trouble in producing from twenty to
forty bushels of superior wheat"
Vc learn that Mr. Hiram McCoy
of Milford Tp., will soon commence
the manufacture of stone tile out ot
the fine fire clay that is so abundant
ly deposited under Somrrsct and the
surrounding hills. Farmers of Som
erset county, drain your wet lands,
and then apply plenty of lime to wet
and dry, and you will soon raise
corn and wheat in as large quantities
as they do in the deep, rich soils ot
the great west.
Braising- llarsea.
The followinir sensible advice
IS
from the Xew England Farmer:
"A man who will habitually take
a horse through a narrw door knows
very little of what a horse remem
bers, or what is fair treatment tc the
animal. One single blow on the hip
against the sharp corner of a door
way is sometimes sufficient to ruin a
valuable horse. But when that blow
has been repeated the horse becomes
valuless, because he has become a
highly dongerous animal. We have
seen a horse whose hips have never
healed after striking two or three
times in passing through a narrow
wav. Another dangerous practice is
the leading of horses out of the barn
door, by the sides of loads of hay,
grain, etc. a slight mow upon tne
hip will sometimes so excite a high-
spirited horse that the persons lead
ing loses control over him, and he es
capes upon a jump, banging bis
shoulders and hips as he proceeds,
leaving patches of skin and hair as
evidence that he has got through.
Many a valuable horse has Wen ru
ined in this way, and many a valu
able one can be saved by never lead
ing him through a narrow space."
A fifteen Hoar Walk for Life.
On aunday afternoon a young man
named George Falk swallowed as he
stated, 3 ounces of laudnuin and 5
grains of morphia, in order to end his
life, as was reported yesterday..
There was but one way of saving
him, and that was to keep him in
motion. After relieving him as far
as possible, his physician, Dr. M. J
Gatcly, ordered that he be walked
until he was out of danger. At half
past two o'clock Sunday afternoon
he was put upon his tramp for life,
and was forced t walk in the open
air as rapidly as he could. His father
kept by him along time, and a friend
or policeman assisted. After some
hours the father gave out, and finally
officers and friends grew tired. At
last officers bad to be taken from their
beats and made to do duty in saving
the life of the would-be suicide
ben the walk commenced it was
with great difficulty that be could be
kept going, and so great was his
stupor that at times he would almost
fall like a stick, l-requcutly it was
necessary to catch him and move
him on. He reeled at times like a
drunken man, and then agniu he
would revive considerably. The
dreary, monotonous walk was kept
up without intermission until half
past six o'clock yesterday morning,
when the physician consented that
he should be allowed to take rest.
The life of the young man was saved,
but the struggle for freedom from the
e Beets of the drugs was a severe one.
To have stopped three minutes would
have been fatal. Baltimore Gazette,

An Earltlng- Bowing- Xatrk.
The Evansvillc (Ind.) Journal
says: A young man of this city, be
ing at an up-river town a few days
ago, took a skiff to row to the next
town down stream. About the time
he put out he noticed a man and wo
man in a similar boat on the oppo
site side of the Ohio, the man pulling
with all his might down stream.
The Evansville youth did not want
to tie beaten by a man who had a
load wbiiene had an empty skill, so
he bent himself to his work with
great energy. Row as hard as he
might, tbe oarsman on the other side
kept ahead of him, until tbe young
man made up bis mind that there
was something wrong with the cur
rent, and he tried to cross.
This seemed to give additional en
ergy to the other oarsman, whose
"feathered oar" was applied with
such a will that he gained sensibly,
and our Evansviller dropped back,
put still kept tbe couple in sight
After half a day's row the single
oarsman stopped at a town, rested,
nd did such business as he found
and took the next steamer for home.
ua the way down tbe steamer was
hailed, and the couple from the skiff
got aboard. The young man, after
a short time approached the champi
vn oarsman and remarked: "Well,
you beat me, didn't you; but I tried
hard to get ahead."
"Thunderotion !" exclaimed the
roan; "was that you a pullin after us.
I tho t it was Lize s dad, an' I jest
at in witn an my might; but it s no
use now; we's married for good now,
stranger.an' I wouldn't row that hard
even ef the old man was to heave in
sight."
A raefal lavratloa.
Every traveler on steam railroads
knows how very difficult it is to un
derstand the quick shout of brakes
man or conductor, on approaching a
station. Tbe door is suddenly open
ed, a name is called out w hich, in
nine times out of ten might as well be
Hindoo, for all the passengers can un
derstand, and the door is again clos
ed with a slam. Many passengers,
especially ladies are kept in constant
uneasiness, for fear they might miss
their destination. A very ingenious
yet simple arrangement has been in
vented which removes all this trouble
and uneasiness,' and keeps passengers
constantly informed of the next sta
tion. As each station is left the
name of the next station is exhibited
in full view of all the passengers in
tbe car, and at tbe same time a bell
strikes to attract Jhe attention of all.
The whole thing can be arranged to
work automatically or by a simple
tarn of the hand, little expense being
incurred in iu construction, and in
fact no time or labor required for its
manipulation. This is a great im
provement over the present unsatis
factory arrangement, and its intro
duction will be hailed with delight by
all whose business or pleasure leads
to frequent riding on railroads.

the cause of disease, and tho patient re
covers his health. They are the great
blood purifier and a lifc-Kiviug principle,
a perfect Innovator and Invigorator
of the FVBtcin. Never Lcroro in tho

Grateful Thousands proclaim Vix
egar Bitters tho most wonderful Iu
vigorant that ever sustained th sinking
system.
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones aro not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other
means, and vital organs wasted beyond
repair.
Bilious. Remittent and Inter
mittent levers, which aro so preva
lent in tho valleys of our great rivera
throughout the United States, especially
those of tho Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan
sas, Ked, Colorado, Brazos, Kio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro
anoke, James, and many others, with
their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea
sons of unusual heat ami dryness, are
invariably accompanied by extensive de
rangements of tho stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful inllucuco upon these various or
gans, is essentially necessary. There
is no cathartic for the purpose equal to
UK. J. W'A LEEK'S Vl.NEUAK BlTTERS,
as they will speedily remove the dark
colored viscid matter with which tho
bowels are loaded, at tho same time
stimulating the secretions of tho liver,
and generally restoring the healthy
functions of tho digestive organs.
Fortify the loly against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vineoau
1J1TTEKS. No epidemic can take hold
of a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head
ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour
Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
iu the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita
tation of the Iieai t, Intlammation of the
Lungs, Paiu in the region of the Kid
ncys, and a hundred other painful symp
toms, are tho offsprings of Dyspepsia.
One bottle will prove a better guarantee
of its merits than a lengthy advertise
ment. Scrofula, or Kind's Evil, AVhite
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck,
Goitre, Scrofulous Iullainmation.s, Indolent
Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old
Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc
la these, as in nil other constitutional Dis
eases, Walker's Vinegar Dittkrs have
shown their preat curative powers in tlio
most obstinate, and intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of
tho Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder,
these Bitters have uo equal. Such Diseases
are caused hy Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons en
gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
I'lumbcrs, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and
Miners, as they advance iu life, arc subject
to paralysis of tho Bowels. To guard
against this, take a dose of Walker's Vix
eoar Bitters occasionally.
For Skin Diseases, Eruptions. Tet
ter, Salt-Khcnm, Blotches, Spots, Pimples,
Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, King-worms,
Scald-head, Soro Eyes, Erysipelas. Itch,
Scurfs, Discolorations of tho Skin, Bumors
and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name
or nature, aro literally dug up and carried
out of the system iu a short time by the uc
of these Bitters.
' Tin, Tape, and other Worms,
larking in the system of ro many thousands,
aro effectually uestroyed and removed. No
system of medicine, no vcrmifuees, no an
thelminities will free the system from worms
liko these Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo
manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic
Bitters display so decided an influence that
improvement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when
ever you find its impurities bursting through
the skin ia Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores;
cleanse it when yon find it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins : cleanse it when it is
foul ; your feelings will tell vou when. Keep
tho blood pure, and the health of the system
will follow.
