p CRUEL BUT SINGULAR EXPERIMENT. A
communication in the Charleston Courier states
that some time since a buzzGrd was caught in
Missouri, and its eyes ripped open with an awl,
so that no part OF the ball remained. The head
OF the bird was then put under its wing; in few
moments the bird shook his wings, gradually drew
out its head, and its eyes were found as sound as
eDer! This is said to have been repeated at least
fifty times, and always with the same result
The dOtCn the inside of the wing is said to be
a cure for blindness.
Major John PLIERS, who is said to have been
the operator in the case, has made an affidavit,
stating
sc | am the individual alluded to in the above
communication, and that the facts stated therein
so far as | am concerned, are true in every par
ticular. The experiment of ripping open the
buzzard's eyes, during the time we kept it, from
February until May, was repeated, | dare say,
fifty times; and once, at log rolling, ten times
in one day. An old African negro, belonging to
Mr. F. Valli Senr., of ST. Genevieve, named Jo-
seph, though supposed to be upwards OF one hun
dred years old) iirst told OF it, and have tried
it frequently SINCE different buzzards, with the
same result This same negro told me that the
feathers could not be pucked out of bald eagle.
This is true. You may try it in any way, and
scald it, and you cannot pull out a fcather.''
o. The Charleston folks have fairly won their
hat back again.

WONDERFUL If TRUE.-The Paris Gazette
des Tribuneaux relates the following anecdote, to
the truth OF which we should be sorry to pledge
ourselves
an. P had two enamel shirt studs sur
mounted by small fly of FURNISHED steel, so
beautifully wrought that he frequently deceived
mslrlenas py ieigning to be annoyed by hies.-
One of these studs was lost. N. p-had Ger
tain suspicious, but for want of proof thought il
prudent to suppress them. The following wear
the fellow stud also disappeared, whereupon the
old servant was accused Of the theft aad dismis
sed. Some days afterwards Madame p per-
ceived large spiders web behind the wainscot
Other apartment, and upon brushing il down
w,at was ner surprise at seeing the missing studs
fall TO the ground An enormous snider deceiv-
ed by the resemblance, and thinking TO have
caught fly, had hidden the studs in It's Web
The innocence OF the servant being thus proved
she was Immediately recalled.

1t is said that the change of Ministry in Mexico an

we have determined 10 plumber her of one of hsTpro-
vnces, lei US, at least much of our character as
we can, in the transaction Let US dsclam the nten-

Texas and let US, also, offer Mexico something like an
equivalent for what lake Abhorraut to all our feel
ngs, the whole Transactions is and as il still oud be,
even with this tardy attempt to mitigate the atocity of
It's character, we would do every thing, and submit to
every thing that is necessary, make the nearest pos
sibe approximation TO what is just and right. Wewould
take much possible from the niamy of our rulers
for the sake Of country and for the sake Of Justice
But, aside from any question right and Justice

high prices Coal in the New York market was
frequently, by the SchuyIkl company, forced up
tic $l4 ard SIG per ton. The consequence was
that few people cared to make themselves depend
ant upon coal companies for fuel, and they pro-
vided themselves otherwise. In 1912, new ele-
ment came into operation in the shape of the
Readiig Rail Road In 1887, the Schuylkill ca
nal broIght down 523, 1872 tons of coal in 1912.

never increased its business after 1887. The
Readn Rail Road Immediately doubled the guam
titv broight to Market that is to say, the quantity
of Schtylkill coal brought down in 1910 was
1921 ions in 1914, it was $50 1874 tons. The
eect of this was decrease of fifty per cent in
tb market price, and as necessary consequence
te consumption of all kinds of coal rose from
$4,000 tons to 1861 500 tons. By this means
Aot only has fuel been placed within the reach
of large portion of the population that before
never used it, but steamboats,, and almost every
branch of manufactures and the mechanic arts,
have been stimulated by the ample supply of
cheap fuel. This vast revolution in the coal trade
has been entirely the result Of that great and no
BILE work, the Reading Railroad. Its freights
have been as follows
1912 tons 40 ,290 1874 AL 49l
1S43 230, 237 1915 to Sep LIST. sol 1854
The tonnage for 1916 is for nine months, and
the other years end November 30th. For the
next three months the road will deliver near
300 900 tons, making for the year 5000 tons.

LIBEL ON DEAD MAN The reader will
recollect the account published some weeks since
OF the violent death Of distinguished citizen of
Zurich in Switzerland, who was supposed TO have
been assassinated in his bed. The cause of his
death was the subject of much speculation, and
portion OF the public adopted the opinion that it
was the result of suicide. II is stated in a Pa
ris paper, that his family has instituted prosecu-
ton for defamation against the New Zurich Ca
zette for having published that his death was the
result of suicide

THE CAMANCHE INDIANS. A correspondent
of the National Intelligencer, writing from the
Island of Arkansas, says:
g The inhabitants of the island are very much
annoyed by the Camanche and Japan Indians
The Camanches will go into settlement or camp,
in numbers from fifty to sixty, and carry ofevery
thing that is portable. In their retreat, you see
nothing but the horses, with mans foot on each
of their backs they throw one leg over their
horse, by which they support the rest of their
body on his side. Thus you will observe that
these savages use horses as a shield as we'll as
conveyance. My informant says he once shot
one of their horses, and the Indian took to the
water, and every time he shot at him he would
dive like duck

DREADFUL ACCIDENT. A young man named

set him crazy, in which situation he remained at

The water in Mackinaw is very clear and very
cold-so cold as almost TO be uncomfortable A
gentleman lately amused himself by throwing
small gold coin in 20 feet water, and giving it to
any indian who would bring it up. Down they
plunged, but after descending ten or twelve feet.
they came up so chilled that after several such
Intellectual attempts they gave it up. A Yankee
standing by, observed E" that if he would
give it to him for getting it, he'd swing ii up
quicker than lightnin - TO which he consented !;
when Jonathan, instead of plunging in as was ex-
pected, quietly took up a setting pole, and dipped
the end in a tar barrel, reached it down to the
coin and brought it up, and slipping it into his
pocket, walked off, to the amazemeut OF the In
dian divers, and the no small chagrn Of the do
P0ughkeepsie Eagle.

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE SLAVE CASE.
Catherine Lindsay the servant girl of Mr. Hodg-
son, of Savannah, Geo, who was arrested
and taken before Judge Dewey, at Northampton
on writ of habe0s corpus, through the agency of
a DIR. Hudson of West Springfield, has sued said
Hudson, for false Imprisonment, laying her dam
ages at $1,000. The suit is brought in the Com
mon Pleas Court for Suffolk, which meets at Bos-

THE RooT DIGGERs.-In Lieutenant FIRE.
mont's journal there is description of the most
degraded kind of Indians yet discovered, called
Root Dggers. They are scattered over the great
regions west of the Rocky Mountains and south of
the Great Snake River. Roots, seeds, and grass,
every vegetable that affords any nourishment, and
every living animal, insect, thing, or worm, they
cat. Nearly approaching the lower animal crea-
ton, their sole employment is to obtain food and
they are constantly occupied in a struggle to sup
port existence. They are miserably poor, armed
only with bows and arrows, or clubs, and as the
country they nhabit is almost destitute of game,
they have no means OF obtaining better arms
