ten proved puzzler to men OF science. 1t
is piece Of carved wood, nearly in the
form Of crescent, from thirty to forty inch

it is quite as singular as the weapon. Ask
black to throw it so as TO fall at his feet.

Skimming along tbs surface at three Or four
feet from the ground, when it will sudden
ly rise in the air forty or sixty feet, describ-
irg curve, and finally drops at the feet Of
the thrower. During its course it revolves
with great rapidity, as on pivot, with a
whizzing noise. 1t is wonderful so barba
tous people should have invented so sngu-
lar weapon, which sets laws of progress
ion at defiance. 1t is very dangerous for ID
European TO try to project it at any object
as it may return and strike himself. In
natives hand it is formidable weapon, stri

BANKS of HERRINGs,-An English paper
says: . IN April and June all of sudden, in
Vulnerable masses Of behring's appear in the
northern seas, forming vast banks, often thirty
miles long and ten miles wide. The depth
has never been satisfactorily ascertained, aud
their denseness may be Judged by the fact
that lances and harpoons thrust in between
them sink not and move not but remain stan
ding upright! Divided into bands, herrings
also move in a certain order. Long before
their arrival. already their coming is noticed
by the focks of sea birds thai watch them
from on high, while sharks are seen 10 sport
around them, and thick oily or Shiny sub
stance is spread over their columns, coloring
the sea in daytime. and shining with a mild
mysterious light in dark still night. Tht
sea-ape, the monstrous chimrra' of the lear.
ned, precedes them, and is hence by fisher
men called the king Of herrings. Then are
seen single males often three or four days in
advance of the great army; next follow the
strongest and largest, and after them enor-
nous shoals, countless as the sand on the
sea shore"

PHYsIc.-The New York dispensary has
been in operation some sixty-fve years, and
now has under its yearly charge nearly So
600 patients, at the very small expenditure
of $4,000 per annum, and keeps corps of
twenty physicians in daily attendance on
the poor. There is no country in the
world, says contemporary, where the peo-
pie are so addicted to the medicine eating
propensity, as in th' Unifed States. 1t has
grown to be a perfect mania--a disease Of
itself The fact is nature never designed
the human body to be such receptacle OF
medicine. If men would but study the laws
of nature, diet properly instead of drnggiug
excessively, BE- r gnlar in their habits in
stead of regular IN their dos"s, use common
sense and cold water freely and the doctor
as little as possible, they would live longer,
suffer less, and pay little for the privilege

HOUND MuDDER NEAR JASEsvLLE.-The
Chicago Times Of Tuesday contains tho par
ticulars of shocking murder committed
near GAINESVILLE, Wis, last Friday. A lum.
herman from Wisconsin had brought down

Mr. MELLEN FouSD.-Mr. Mcllcn, of the
News Depot in Chicago whose strange dis.
appearance we noticed few weeks ago, was
found on Wednesday, in the woods near
Belviderc, some sixty miles from Chicago,
completely insane. lie was seen on Monday,
but when any one attempted to approach
him fled to the woods, when two or three
hundred citizens turned out, and on We'd
ncsday succeeded in capturing him, in an
emaciated, and mentally most ptiablc and
wrctched condition. 1t will DO rccollccted,
at the time Of his disappearance, Mr. NJ. had
been called from his store by message from
his wife that sick child at his residence

lost two interesting children, which preyed
heavily on his mind, ana row suPposng pro-
badly that he was about to lose tbs, the on.

him, and reason gave way. The child re-

from his ter, ble disease. .......

CHICAGO lTEM.-Runnersm in Chicago is
getting to be as outrageous as it was in Buff
falo few years ago. Cases like the follow
ing are daily occurrences. A few days ago
one Of these harpies took countryman TO a
fourth class hotel, but finding the appear
ance of the place greatly below the price de-
manded for accommodations, the country
man concluded to seek other quarters, when
the runner demanded a dollar for his servi-
ccs. This was resisted by the stranger who
hailed a citizen Of Chicago, and acquaintng
him with the facts, the citizen sharply re-
bukcd the runner, for which the latter
struck the citizen in the face, telling him TO
the ground, and then fled. The rascal was
however, arrested and locked up.
