A Hard Case.

A large crowd was collected few days ago.
about respectfully dressed and intelligent look
ing man, who was seen endeavoring to hold
himself up by the iron railing Of the Park, in
New York. II was first supposed, naturally
enough, that he was drunk. But a near inspec-
ton of his countenance proved that this injuri-
Gus suppostion was incorrect-the poor gentle
man was completely nervcless and exhausted,
and informed the sympa;hizing by-standers, in
broken sentences, that the cause of his complete
.prostraton was that he had been rash enough,

An exclamation Of horror burst from the
crowd. At the latest advices, but feeble hopes
were entertained that the man could recover
When questioned as to the motive that induced
him to attempt the rash act, he replied in feeble
tones that. being in reduced circumstances, he
had resolved to do something that would power
fully attract public attention towards him, ant
awaken curiosity to see him. He thought ''the
man who read Folks Message" would be q
person worth looking at If he RECEIVERS, there

DIsINFECTING PROPERTY OF COFFEE

Coffee is one of the most powerful means
not only for rendering animal and vegetable
effiuvia innoxious, but Of actually DESTROYING
them. A room in which meat in an advanced
degree OF decomposition had been for some
time, was instantly deprived of all smell on an
open coffee rolster being carried through il.
containing pound of newly roasted coffee. In
another room exposed to the effluvium occa-
stoned by the clearing out of dung pit, so that
sulphuretted hydrogen and ammonia in great
quantities could be chemically detected, the
stencil was completely removed within half
minute on the employment of three ounces of
fresh roasted coffee, whilst the other parts of the
house were permanently cleared of the same
smell by being simply traversed with the coffee
rooster, although the cleansing of the dung pit
continued for several hours after. Even the
smell OF musk or castoreum, which cannot be
overpowered by any other substance, is COM
pletely dispelled by the fumes Of coffee and
the same applies to the odors of assaftrtida.
1t was remarked, however, that in general
animal effluvia are more readily affected BY il
than vegetable. That here an acdal neutrali.
cation, and not mere development of matter,
takes place, is shown from this that the first
fumes of the coffee are imperceptible, and con-
tinue so until point of saturation, SO to speak,
is reached, whereupon the obnoxious smell dis
appears, and that of the coffee predominates.
The reverse happens with other aromatic va
pors and even with acetic acid and chlorine.
Here both co-exist until the one completely
preponderates. The simplest form in which to
use it against contagious matter is in powder.
The well dried raw bean is to be pounded in a
mortar, and to be stewed over moderately
heated iron plate until the powder assumes a
dark brown tint Cofeeic acid and the empy-
reumatic coffee oil, act very readily in very
minute quantity Medical Gazette.

SPEEDY CURE FOR FoUNDERED HoRsE-
As soon as you find your horse is foundered,
bleed him in the neck IN proportion to the foun-
der. In extreme cases, you miy bleed him 30
long as he can stand up. Then draw his head
up, as is common in drenching, and with a
spoon put back on his tongue strong salt, until
you get him to swallow one pint. Be careful
not to let him drink too much. Then anoint
round the edges Of his hoofs with spirits of tur-
pentine, and your horse will be well in one
hour.
A founder pervades every part of the system
of horse. The feam arrests it from the blood,
the salt arrests it from his stomach and bowe
and the spirit of turpentine arrests it from the
feet and limbs.
once rode hired horse ninety-nine miles
, in two days, returning him at night the second
day and his owner would not have known that
he had been foundered if had not told him,
and his founder was one of the deepest kind.
Il once in a travel of seven hundred miles
foundered my horse three times, and do not
think my journey was retarded more than one
day by the misfortune, having in all cases OBJ
served and practised the above prescription. I
have known foundered horse turn in at night
on green feed; in the morning he would be
well, having been purged by the green feed.
All founders must be attended to Immediately.
