A beautiful thought is gracefully express
ed by the Euston Dpni-eh : "How we
are sometimes repaid for little care ! . Sup
pose you take up irom tha ground a lot of
castaway rosebuds, crush them into your
pocket, and when you get home put them
into water. - Before l.jng you will have
full-blown flowers in place of the buds,
and they will show no siirus of the crush
ing they received. So with some urushed
souls they have been neglected, insulted,
spoiled, abandoned, perhaps. Smile on
them, encourage, help them give them
some ground still to put faith in humaity,
and God w ill smile on you even more than
if you had preached a sermon."
Nothing makes a man or woman look

had in her possession lat week an egg
that was quite a natural curiiity; not the
"Irui: "of a Brahma. Cochin China, Span
ish or any ot the numerous otber breeds of
fancy poultry, but the unvarnished product
of a " common dung hill fow l. There w as
nothing about the appearance cf this "fruit"
to indicate that it was anything unusual.
With a numlier of other eggs it was placed
over the fire to boil, in a few moments it
cracked with a report like that of a pistol.
An examination revealed the fact that
there was an egg within an egg. The in
ner egg was about the size cf a pigeon egg,
having a shell, white and yolk, being in
all resiiccts a perfect egg. The question
now comes up, if the egg had been hatch

Poisoned rt Potato Bugs. One Cay
last week Dr. J. A. Fishburn, of this city,
w as called to Dunslown to attend a small
son of E. II. Forgis, who had been taken
suddenly very ill. Upon the Doctor's ar
rival he found the lad in a very high lever.
Upon the first examination the Doctor was
confident that it w as specific fever and the
symptoms were more like poison from
some member ot the belladonna family.
But to all h:s inquiries he could not ascer
tain that the ltoy had eaten or drank any
thing that could produce the above result.
But in after conversation the father refer
red to the manner in which his little boy
had been in the habit of catching potatoe
bu2s. and laving them on a flat stone to
crush them. This information gave Dr.
Fishburn an idea that it miuht be possible
that the boy had been poisoned by inhaling
the aniuvia, and immediately auminisiereu
medicine that showed he was correct in
his suspicions of the poison, and also gave
him control of the disease. This is the
lir-t case of the kind that has been brought
to our notice, and we trust that this may
act as a warning to others to be careful
how they dispatch these troublesome and
poisonous pests. Loeh llatcn ZnUrprwe
Tun Lancaster Ernmintr, in an article
on the "Canada Thistle" quotes the law
and comments as follows : "It shall lie
the dutu of every person or peisons, and
of every corporation holding lands," on
which Canada thistles may be growing, "to
cut the same, so as to preevnt such thistle
from going to seed," under a penalty of
fifteen dollar, one-half to the County
Treasury and the other half to the inform
er. Any person may give five days' notice
in writing, and if the owner of the land, or
those whose duty it is to cut the same
clown, shall refuse to do so, the person
giving the notice shall have the right to
enter on the lauds, or hire other persons to
enter and cut do"vn and destroy such this
tles, and sue the owner of the land to pay
for the labor. This is in addition to being
liable to a fine of 13.
It is admitted by all that no greater pest
can gain a foothold than the Canada this
tle. Now is the time to cut and destroy
it, to prevent its further spreading over the
adjoining lands. We hear of some very
serious and flagrant neglect in obeying the
law. It is the"duty of all to see that this
pest is destroyed, not only in their own
lands, but that of their neisghbors.
A fellow claiming to be J. C. Kauf
man, recently victimized the good people
ol Everett, in our neighboring county of
Bedford. He pretended to be a Theologi
cal student in a Lutheran educational in
stitution, and was taking ordere for a
nursety, that he might raise the where
with to finish his stuJies. His operations
are said to have been quite profitable.
While preaching in the Lutheran church
he was recognized by a resident of Everett
as a student" that had been compelled to
leave the institution to escape arrest on a
a charge of the grossest libertinism. Sail
ing under such colors, he had but little
trouble in selling his grape cuttings at two
dollars on delivery, or fifty cents cash and

delivery. The Pre, from the columns
of which the above facts are gleaned, de
scribes Kaufman as being aljout 23 years of
are, 5 feet 3 or 6 inches tall, heavy build,
short neck, dark curly hair and beard on
his chin, amall piercing eyes, dark com
plexion with blotches or pimples Jon side
of Cice and neck, and is an easy fluent
speaker, with a slight German tinge in
his enunciation. He" may try something
else and people should be on the lookout
for him.
The locust plague has become so bad in
Minnesota that Gov. Davis, of that State,
has requested aid from the General Govern
ment. He says the pests have destroyed
every green thing in some sections of the
St a'e, and left the country for miles per
fectly litre. Many thousands are suffering
for want of food. "lie adds that the State
of Minnesota is entitled to $d,100 for two
years' appropriation for arms, and desires
this sum to be turned over to him to be
expended for food. It is sorrowful under the
circumstamces to be informed that secreta
ry Belknap, has decided a3 follows :
"There appears to be no authority of law
far diverting an appropriation from its
proper use, even in cases of emergency."
Relief of tome sort to mitigate their mise
ry should be devised at once.
