CuRrous EFFECTS OF HAIR on GRAss. A
few years ago The purchasers OF hog hair q,
Terre Haunte, Ind, carried it out upon the
prairie and spread it on the grass TO lry.
This was in the fall aud winter. After be-
ing washed with tie rains, it was raked up,
leaving portion sticking On the grass. In
the spring this was the earliest green
SPOT, and continued to'be the sweetest. as
was proved by the cattle resorting here to
feed
By and by one Of them died. then another
and another, though apparently tat and
healthy. Then one was opened 10 ascertain
the cause OF death, and afterwards others for
curiosity. In the sromachs of those that
fed most upon this hair manurrd spot, were
found two OF three dozen hair balls; such us
we used to b. told when boy were switch
balls" We have seen them three inches in
diameter and solid us i is possible to compact
hair together The calamity grew 50 serious
that the owners Of cattle had to plough up the
ground aud turn under the sod and in its rich
manuring which continued tc show its effect
for years alter.
Hair balls are often found in the stomachs
Of cattle ON the farm, from u morbid appetite,
eating their own ur another animals. or when
the swine have been butchered (; and perhaps
oltener produce death than Is imagined. To
prevent accidents, let all the hair be ploughed

weather Predictions for August

Mostly fair during the early part Of the
month, but towards the 7th change takes
place Of a windy changeable character ac-
companied at intervals with most violent
thunder storms, also much rain, particular
ly about the 9th, 18th and 10th. Fail
and pleasant for few days near the 23d
then again wind and rain towards the end
of the month.
Days Of storm more or less, on or very
near the 18th, 9th, 18th, 10th, 18th ant
9th.
I should advise your agricultural read
ers to timely prepare against the bad wea
Their here anticipated, for [ much fear tht
severe storms Of wind, thunder and rail-
during this month, ts;;cularly the middle
part, will do considerable damage in many
districts of the country.
Harvest is ripe; the people now prepare
To reap the golden produce Of the year
But oft, dismayed, they see black clouds arise
And hear deep thunder roll along the skies
A heavy shower descends upon the plain,
Forth bursts the sun, and all is right again.

Mr.. Editor: Being a subscriber to, and
a reader Of the Herald, [ consequently feel
an interest in whatever appears in its col
umns. Since some time last winter there
has appeared series of weather procnos-
tications, which, in my very humble opin-
ion are Of no practical utility whatever.-
Now I may be thought impertinent in ven
turing an opinion in opposition to one "who
has had the honor of having known Sir
Charles Napier" when all that know Of
him is what history leaves on record, and
that is, that he was my countrys enemy.
In fact, | have never even seen anybody
of higher rank than an American citizen
aUhich I haze the honor to be. But these
remarks are not intended merely to criti-
cize, but the arrogant and over-bearino
manner exhibited by Shaw towards all
lwho oppose or disagree with him has a.
reused my combativeness and some of his
representations have suggested few in
Iquiries, which it may be well for him to
answer. In the first place in this utilita-
RAN age had not ideas better be plain and
commonplace than mysterious, eon1plica-
| ted and erroneous ? Secondly, when pre-
ELECTIONS are made pretending to be based
upon science, and the predictions are of
ten more wrong than right may we not
conclude there is something wrong in the
premises? Early in the year owing to
some popularity in the aspect of the plan
cts cold summer was predicted. In Nav
weather colder than usual having set in
the prediction was reiterated in stronger
terms; but scarcely. published ere the heat
set m and the summer has been one Of I'm
usual heat eyersince. But perhaps Mr. Shaw
had no means Of knowing at that time that
l"Mercury was going to get into the Ora
lgoon's tai, and give us such roasting as
he has since. If he is like to Get there 4
gain hope he will give us more timely
warning. Again we read Of certain plan
cts IN particular aspects, as influencing one
kind OF weather and then Of certain othe,
planets influencing another kind Of wealth
er. Now we would like to know WHY at
one time some planets influence the wea-
ther and then cease to exercise that inf1u-
ence or delegate it to some other planets,
DC, N fact it would afford us no small erat-
lilcatlon to be informed Of the reasons for
lsupposlng the planets to have anything to
90 with our weather. If the predictions
were correct as often even as they might
pc expected by the doctrine Of chance. we
might might receive them in silence, but when
they entirely fail we have right to en-.
qulre into the matter. | have no right to
expect any notice of this article by Mr..
Shaw, as for various reasons I prefer to re-
nam ancog. | shall probably be set down
as was your Fennimore correspondent, q
n 2. scribbler not worthy of notice },
Following an illustrious example I will
close with few lines. :

aTour anonymous correspondent

nOur anonymous correspondent IS
hereby informed that we don't know who
is County Surveyor. We doubt whether
we have had legal one for nearly -four
wears. It matters little to those having
work to do, whether it is done by the
County Surveyor or by one having no spe-
cial authority delegated by law. EVERETT
elected nearly four years ago, but who is
not resident Of the State, has several de
puties serving by virtue Of appointments
under him. He would not be recognized
as County Surveyor, though they claim te
have full powers under him,-the servant
is greater than his master!
At the Annual Session OF the County
Board, of 1853, Mr.. CLARK was appointed
Ito fill the supposed vacancy, but failed t.
Iget the Record Of Surveys. The matter
was attempted to be tried by Judge Corn
rem, but he refused to allow the matter tt
come before his court, alleging want juris
diction. Mr.OyERToN therefore retains pos
session of the Records, claiming that Mr.
CLARK's appointment was illegal. Who i
wrong we can't tell
