To WEIGH LIVE CATTLE BY MEASURE.
The only instrument necessary is tape
measure with feet and incl, marks upon it.
The girth is the circumference Of the ami
nal just behind the shoulder blades. The
length is the distance from the shoulder
blade to the rear of the bullock. The SUI
perfcial feet is obtained by multiplying the
girth and length. The following table cen
tains the rule to ascertain tie weight Of the
animal. III ~ 3
If less than one foot in girth, multiply
superficial feet by eight.
If less than three, and more than one,
multiply superficial fee: by eleven.
If less than five and more than three,
multiply superficial feet By sixteen.
If less than, seven, and more than Eve,
multiply superficial feet by twenty-three.
If less than nine, and more than seven,
multiply superficial feet by tlirtg-three.
iIflsss than eleven, and more than nine,
multiply superficial feet by fortytwo.
.Erampls.- Suppose the girth of a bull
lock be FIVE feetsix inches. The superficial
sra will then be thirty -four, and in accord
snce with the above table the weight will
be7s2 pounds.
Eranple-suppose pig to measure in
girth two feet, length one foot nine inches
There would then be three and half SUI
perfcial feet which multiplied by eleven,
gives thirty-eight and half pounds which
is the weight Of the animal when dressed
In this way, the weight of the four quarters
can be substantially ascertained during !ie

An Adventure in California

The truth Of the following thrilling tale Of
adventure is vouched for to Us by a person
who heard it from the lips of one of the party:
A party Of three men started from Sacra-
mentO on a prospecting tour, and, being well
supplied with provisions, they penetrated
much further into the mountains than any
other party, without meeting with any success.
Being men OF great perseverance, however,
they determined TO pursue their course still
further, although they had nearly reached a
point where, it was believed, the foot of a
white man never trod before. The party be-
gan to feel somewhat discouraged, as luck ap-
peared to have abandoned them. They were
many miles from any habitatiOn, and their
provisions were getting very low. A melan-
choly feeling pervaded the whole three, but
they kept on until they came to a deep gulch.
After making thorough examination they
returned to Sacramento for ropes and proyis-
ions. Having procured these, and loaded
their mules with as much as was thought ne
cessary for their purpose, they proceeded
again to the gulch. To get down this ravin
was the next object They tied rope to
tree, and by this means one after the other
descended to the bottom, after lowering the
provisions and tools. Here they found gold
in abundance, and labored assiduously to Sc
cure their pile soon as possible, not being
particularly in love with their habitation. By
a mere accident, after having been in the ra-
vine several weeks, they discovered that the
rope had been cut by the Indians, or let loose
by some other means, which cut off all hopes
Of escape. The ledges of rock were perpen
dicular for hundreds Of feet, and climbing up
was out of the question. Their provisions
rapidly diminished, and starvation stared
them in the face. The gold which they had
secured was of no use. They had made up
their minds that their end was near. Proyi-
dentially, q party of friendly Indians came
by, and, hearing the men hallOoing, discov-
cred their whereabout, and Immediately went
to work to release them. Ropes were OBJ
tanned, and let down, when they were drawn
up one by one, and their gold also. Being
released from their prison, they hoerally re-
warded the Indians, and went on their way to
a more suitable location, thankful for their
preservation from the awful tate With which
thSy had been threatened.

ANTIQUITY OF The /. o. o. F.-We find the
following in an old English paper, from a
speech delivered by Mr.. Cooper, at a meeting
of the Order of Greenock, Scotland. Mr..
Cooper said
1.-The origin of the Order of Odd Fellows is
Of very great antiquity. 1t was established
by the Roman soldiers in the camp during the
reign of Nero, in the year 55. At that time
they were Fellow Citizens The present
name was given them by Titus Caesar in the
year 20, from the singularity Of their meeting,
and from their knowing each other by night
or day, and by their country. And he not
only gave them the name Of Odd Fellows, but
at the same time, as pledge of friendship,
presented them with a dispensation, engrayen
on a plate of gold, bearing different emblems,
such as the sun, moon and stars, the lamb, the
lion and the dove, and other emblems Of NOR
tality
The first account Of the Order being spread
In other countries is in the fifth century, when
it was established in the Spanish dominiOns
and In the sixth century by King Henry in
Portugal, and in the eleventh century il was
established in France, and afterwards by John
De Neville, in England, attended by i've
Knights from, France, who formed Loyal
Grand Lodge of Honor in London, which Order
remained until the twelfth century, when a
part of them began to form themselves into u
union up to this dsy-the Lodges which are
now very numerous throughout the world, and
call themselves the Loyal Ancient Odd Fell
lows, being portion Of the original body.
The Manchester Union is Of a more recent
date, although there is no doubt Of its emanat-
ing from the same source. Its first introduc-
tion into Manchester was about the year 1900,
by few individuals from the Union in Lon
don, who formed themselves into lodge, and
continued in connection with them for some
time, when some difference caused them 20
declare themselves independent, and thus
have kept their work independent"

SrRYcHNINE.-In Ceylon and several dis
tricts Of India grows q moderate-sized tree,
with thick, shining leaves. and short, crook
ed stem. In the fruit season il is readily rec
oguized by its rich orange-colored berries,
about as large as golden pippins, the fsvorite
food of many kinds of birds, within which
are the fat, round seeds, not an inch in diam
etcr, ASH gray in color, and covered with very
minute silky hairs. The Germans fancy that
they can discover a resemblance in them to
gray eyes, and call them crows eyes, but the
likeness is purely imaginary. The tree is he
strychnos nux vomica, and the seed rs tho
deadly poison nut. The latter was early used
as a medicine by the Hindoos. and its nature
and properties understood by Oriental doctors
long before il was known to foreign nations
Dog killer and fish scale are two of its Arabic
names 1t is stated that at present the ns-
tives Of Hindostan often take 1t for many
months continuously, in much the same way
as an opium-eater eats opium They com
mence with taking the eighth part Of nut q
day, and gradually increase their allowance
to an entire nut which would be about 20
grains. If they eat it directly before or after
food, no unpleasant effects are produced; but
if they neglect this precaution, spasms result.
