difficult on account of its brittleness:—
The blocks are , carefully sawed into I
pieces approaching in size pretty closely
the objects for which they are to he
used. By means of .a finely pointr-d 1
steel the outline of the shape into which '
the piece is to, he carved is then trac
ed on the surface and the work
proceeds to completion with knife and
chisil, like any ordinary wood carving'. 1
Last of all comes the Wishing prtics,
by which the substance, originally of a
brownish color, receives the bright
black lusture that has rendered it so
very popular with the ladies as au arti
cle of ornament.
But as, according to ki•OLOMON, there
is nothing - new under the sun, so jet is
no novelty. It was known to the an
cients. who used it for the same '
pur
poses as'ourselvei(. Jet ornaments have
frequently been I discovered in Roman
m
and in ancient ritish tob.4. Among
the articles latel ' exhumed in Pompeii
were broaches, raceleti, and chains of
jet, so artistically wrought as to defy
modern imitation. England has since
remote times been the chief depository
of jet, and manufacture., of the article
flourished in that country long ago. In
the days of Queen ELIZABETH the
town of Whitley had already establish
ed quite a reputation for the extent of
its jet manufactures. In a manuscript
dated 1730, entitled : " The Journey of a
Portuguese Merchant, Don MeffuEL
CioNZALEs, lin great Britain," the
author speaks of a jet being found- in
Yorkshire. In the coutse of the last
century the use of the substance for
ornaments appears to have rapidly de
clined, and it was left to the capricious
rumor of fashion to raise its reputation
once more in popular esteem.
The manufacture of jet is of no small
importance to the places that have en
gaged in it as a regular branch of indus
try. The town of Whitely continues
or considerable note to the present day,
and exported last year over £30,d00
sterling worth of jet ornaments. Its
manufacturers got up an exhibition last
fall, when the beauty, variety, and
ftnish of the articles exhibited received,
enthusiastic praise from artistic and in
dustrial sources.*- In Oviedo, in the
Spanish province of Asturia,, jet is also
manufactured, but its products do -not
appear to command such high prices as
the English.
Tioartal Story of Hydrophobia
Mr. Henry Drew, Assistant Superin
tendent of Public Property, has related
to us the particulars of a ease of hydro-
phobia at the village of Waterloo, which ,
surpasses in tragic interest almost any,
story of the kind we ever read : •
Some six or seven years ago a made
dog went through the village of Water - - -
100, Jefferson county, and hit a number
of animals. Among others it snapped
at the leg of a cow belongine io
Babcock. The animal was examined,
but no mark could be found, and it was
supposed that it escaped being
The animal was afterward? sold to a
man by the name of Or arri2on, who - used
her milk very freely, as did two of his
children. Some of the neighbors, inclu
ding Mr. Drew's family, were also sup
plied with milk of this cow.
At different times during the time
since the cow was bitten there has been
inexplicable and fatal sickness among
those using her milk, and two children
of Mr. Garrison's two of Mr. Drew's and
two others have been attacked with
spasms and died in great agony. Mr.
Garrison has also been attacked at times
with spasms. The mystery of this sick
ness was.eolved by the death, with every
symptom of hydrophobia, a short time
ago, of the cow so slightly bitten seven
years ago, and in whose system mad
ness had been latent ever since.
_The case is a singular ohe, and worthy
the attention of scientific nien.—Maz-

LET US BE PATIENT AS MEN
The lesson of the War was patience.
None have forgotten how, as it painfully
progressed through the years of its du
rition, men and women grew impatient
of rts delays, reverses, and indecisive
battles.
Most of us had days of darkness and
doubt, such as may haveplagued Phara
ohfor his oppressions of captive Israel.
f
'ointe may have doubted the existence
of an Omnipotent Overlooker of human
affairs. All had an unconquerable de
sire to knoW when and how the war
for national integrity would end.
Look back : Is there one de/ay, or re
verse, or fruitless (as it then seemed) ,
battle which does not now appear in
the light of a providential happening?
We•confess, for one, that we cannot re
mone trial which sapped faith, and
ocked patience, which nowi seems to
have been without special design.
, Is the war over ? No. We are in the
midst of it. The weapons, only, are
changed. A year ago the land shook
with the tramp; tramp, of armed men,
while th Southern hills trembled With
, the thunfier of cannon and the crash of
musketry.
But now it is changed . Strong de
bate, and clashing opinions, about the
status of revolted States, have taken the
place of deadly contention with cannon
and musket. .Strategy is dead—or es
sayed only by demagogues. Deceit is
powerless to mislead a people educated
through four years of sacrifice and bitter
tears. The small arts of politicians will
soon go to their place among the lost
arts.
RECONSTRUCTION : That is the word,
and the work. But in order to fortify
vexed patience, let us remind the faith
less that this war ,broke out in 1854, in
the then Territory of Kansas. - The
trouble in that Territory constituted civil
war as fully as the fighting at Manassas,
in 1861. The only difference between
that, and the reign of Ruffinism in Kan
sas, was, that the latter was weakly per
mitted by`Franklin Pierce, pro-slavery,
while the former was stoutly resisted by
Abraham Lincoln, anti-slavery.
;ocating" the first appearance of civil
strife in Kansas, at least ten years ago,
it will be litzeen that this country has
been in a state of war for ten years.
The surrender of Lee is supposed to
have closed the war waged with deadly
weapons.
But the principles entering into and
constituting a government by the peo
ple, have their triumphin the futnre. It
is this adjustment, or settlement which
men name reconstruction.
If, after all, it should be found that
the finaltriumph of republicanism turns
upon the full recognition of this fact :
No individual can have any right
which, exercised would prove damaging
to the common interest ;-r-then all this
noise and doubt about theories of recon
struction will seem to have been the
effect df very crude notions about civil
. _
relatiOns.
Probably reconstruction will take
place upon some similar understanding:
But such an understanding cannot be
brought about in ft:city; may not be in a
• .year. It is a work oftime.
• We must wait for it.
We see that the Grand Jury of Afif-
I flin, 'County has directed the District
attorney to prepare indictments against
several members[ of election boards for
receiving the votes of deserters, shaded
lers,
We do things differently up here.
Alleged desertersand sitedaddlers, bring'
suits for damages against election boards
for refusing the votes of such persons.
We, susiiect the result in both eases
will teach the plaintiffs' that horde of
lelection, beidg judges, of liOqi 'laic and
Ifact as regards qualifications of votes,
cannot be punished for conscientious
discharge of duty. The - presuniption
is, that the boards reCeiving - such.voters,
• believed them to be legal ; an, error of
judgment, as we believe. ..And the
I presumption is that those boards which
Irefused such votes -in Tinge County,
and elsewhere, refused them because
they believed them to be illegal. And
unless this presumption, in both eases,
Ican be shown to be baseless, and vicious,
we guess that the defendants will stand
acquitted and the plaintiffs be fined in
the sum of the
If every lawyer Mild fix the con
struction of the law to suit his own no
tions the case would be ,different; but
when law butts its brains, out against
the wall of fact, Common Sense steps in
and dispenses both law and Justice.
The Neat Branch BULLETIN came to
us last week enlarged to eight columns,
and in an entirely new dress. The
BULLETIN is now the largest paper in
Northern Pennsylvania and it gives us
genuine pleasure to note its prosperity.

Dickey, of Cameron, was brutally mur
