THE DROUTH OF 1819.
At Pleasant Hill I conversed with
an intelligent and pious Shaker, who
held to the doctrine of final persever
ance In bla undying faith in the good
ness of God, in not suffering a total
failure of crops to occur. He was a
young man in 1819, the year of the
"great drouth," when from early sum
mer to the middle of January there
was no rain, when the air was hot aud
dry, when the clouds refused to form
and be condensed into showers, when
the dew-poiat was not seen, when the
stagnant pools of water in the creeks
and branches became so thoroughly
carbonized -nd miasmiferous that the
cattle died, and all vegetation was ut
terly parched up and apparently de
stroyed. During the terriMe drouth
the cattle became afflicted with the
'hot-weather itch,' and thousands died,
literally tearing the skin from vbeir
sides and backs in their frantic efforts
to scratch themselves to relieve the in
tolerable itching. Deer and horses died
with black tongue; fowls and birds be
came listless and stupefied, moped in
despair, lost their plumage and died in
utter misery. Men, women and chil
dren grew sick with disappointed hopes
for the healing showers, drinking the
foal carbonized water and eating dusty
food, and many died of disease not
known before or since. Maddened
with the intolerable itch and frantic
with eating the dry and desiccated
grass deprived of a'l nutritive elements
by the long drouth, the cattle, sheep
and horses roamed over the fields and
through the forests, moaning and
howling or pawing the earth in impo
tent rage. Added to these horrors, the
fields and forests took fire and burned
for weeks and months. The air was
filled with smoke and ashes, producing
another horror in the shape of some
form of ophthalmia that was almost in
tolerable.
Fresh vegetables were soon exhaust
ed, the cattle were too diseased to be
used for food, water was scarce and
unfit to drink, fires were raging, and
the whole population afflicted with di
sease in some shape. This state of
things lasted until the middle of Jan
nary, when the blessed rain and the
really beautiful snow came and saved
the country from utter annihilation.
The gentle Shaker had feared that
such an other dread season was begin
ning ; that the water was again becom
ing carbonized and impregnated with
deleterious earthy salts and other con
stituents from dead insects, apbidians,
batrachians, infusoria and rotting mam
malia. At this very time the good
Bhaker did not know that cattle and
horses were dying in some parts of Il
linois with a disease similar in many
respects to that he described in so
graphic a manner and starting under
circumstances so similar.
I felt really alarmed at his vivid
descriptions of the 'hot weather itch,'
from a personal knowledge of the rava
ges prepetrated upon the human hand
by the bite of a single mosquito
His description df the erysipelatous
black tongue was equally distressing,
and I shall never forget bis terse and
forcible language as be depicted these
horrors. He was sublimely eloquent
without an effort, in his quiet way,
and if I could impart bis manner to the
paper on which I write, it would pro
duce rare reading for the Courier-
Journal.
[Dea Moinefl lowa State Register.]
We notice the following in an ex
change: Mr. G. B. Haverer, Foreman
N. Y. & N. H. S. B. Co., suffered for
eight days with terrible pain in the
back, almost to distraction, until he
* heard of and used St. Jacobs Oil, one
bottle of which cured him completely.
The Ohio Board of Agriculture esti
mates 72 per cent, of a full crop of
wheat this year, 70 per cent, of corn,
and 1,000,000 bushels increase of oats.
To the weak Peruna gives strength.
The 'cattle-drive' this season from
Texas to Kansas and other Northern
States and Territories has been about
250,000 bead—double what it was
estimated it wonld be by experienced
stockmen.
To the sick Peruna is the greatest
blessing.
When Methuselah was only five
hundred years, his father told him tbat
irbe didn't stop smoking vile cigarettes
he would die in early manhood. He
didn't stop, and he only livsd a few
hundred years after that: but boys will
be boys.
There is no feed more economical
for a bard working team than a light
mess ot whole oats, say three quarts
per horse, at morning and noon, aud
about two quarts of corn meal at night,
together with all the good Lay they
will eat clean.
A correspondent of the National
Live-stock Journal writes tbat 'hog
cholera can be stamped out by wise
legislation, well executed ; but no man
can do anything single-handed. We
want a public sentiment tbat will kill
s cholera hog as quick as a mad dog.'
A recent dispatch from* Liverpool
announcing the embarkation of 550
Mormon converts bound for Salt Lake
City says tbat over 2,000 recruits for
tb« Utah settlements have left that
port daring the past summer. This
fact shows in a striking manner that
tha Mormon blearchy is making a
greater effort than ever to strengthen
kta powor.
As a rale, small breeds of bens lay
best. The Leghorns are especially no
ted for their egg producing powers.
Their "eggs are medium sized, but make
up in number what they lack in size.
The Plymouth Rocks are strongly rec
ommended as winter layers. Among
large breeds the best lavers are the
Brahmas. But any hen,"to lay well,
must be well feed.
A correspondent of The Rural New-
Yorker advises the immediate remov
al of the limbs of pear-trees affected
with blight. They should be cat off be
low where the blight is visible. If the
limb is promptly removed, he says,
there is no more danger of that tree than
of any other. The danger consists in
allowing the blighted nart to remain
until the poison has extended so far
as to menace the life of the tree.
Mr. W. D. Philbrick, of Massachu
setts, does not regard the crow as en
titled to the least consideration as a
destroyer of insects. He is, Mr Pbll
briek says, a merciless robber of birds'
nests, eating indiscriminately eggs and
joung birds in tbe breeding season,
and he thinks it arrant nonsense to de
fend the crow as useful to the farmer
The song birds, frogs und toads he de
stroys would, if suffered to live, proba
bly destroy twice as many insects ns
the crow himself
