A POISONED VALLEY.

A poisoned Valley has been discovered in
Batten, in Japan. Mr.. A. Loudon visited it
last July, and states that when within few
yards of the valley, strong and sufocating
smell was experienced, but this ceased as the
margin was approached.
The bottom of it appears to be fiat, without
any vegetation, and few large stones scatter
ed here and there. Skeletons of human be-
ings. tigers, bears, deer, and all sorts of birds
and wild animals, lay about in profusion.-
The ground on which they lay at the bottom
of the valley, appeared to be a hard, sandy
substance, and no vapor was perceived. The
sides were covered with vegetation.
1t was proposed to enter it, and each of the
party having lit cigar, managed to get with
in twenty feet of the bottom, where sicken-
ing nauseous smell was experienced without
any difficulty of breathing. A dog was now
fastened to the end of bamboo and thrust to
the bottom of the valley, while some of the
party with their watches in their hands OBJ
served the effect.
AT the expiration of fourteen seconds ne fell
! off his legs; without moving or looking a.
round, and continued alive only eighteen MIN
utes. The other dog now left the company
and went to his companion. On reaching him
he was observed to stand quite motionless, land
at the end of ten seconds fell down. he never
! moved his limbs after, and lived only seven

minutes. a fowl was now thrown in, and died
in a minute and quarter. And another, was
thrown in after, and died in the space of
minute and half.
A heavy shower of rain fell during the time
that these experiments were going forward,
which from the interesting nature of the ex-
periments, was quite disregarded. On the op-
posite side of the valley to that which was WIS.,
ing on the right arm. The effect Of the wealth
er had bleached the bones as white as ivory.
This was probably the remains of some wretch
ed rebel, hunted towards the valley, who had
taken shelter there unconscious of its char
acter.

SAGACITY OF A DOG.

We take the following from the Trinity,
California, Times. 1t certainly records one of
the most remarkable instances we have ever
heard of, of canine ssagacity' as it is called,
but which, in this instance seems more like
the exercise of the same reason with which
man is gifted, but the exclusive possession of
which he arrogates TO himself.
VIM. Dredge lives about five miles from
town, at the base of the mountains which tow
er north of us. short time after midnight
on the morning of Wednesday last, he was "a
reused from his slumbers by the mournful
howl of a dog. No menace on his part could
rid him OF the presence of the strange intruder
The dog continued to walk around the cabin,
still repeating his dismal moaning and how
ling, occasionally making efforts to effect an
entrance through the closed doorway. Sur
prised ard somewhat alarmed at this singular
demonstration, Mr.. Dredge at last hastily dres-
sed himself and unbolted the door, when a
large mastiff rushed within. The dog at once
caught hold of his pants and employed every
gentle means to induce the gentleman to ac-
company him outside. Dredge's first impress
sion was that the animal was mad, and yet SO
peculiar and earnest we're the dumb entreat-
| les, that he finally yielded and proceeded with
Raftsman's journal. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1854-1948, 1856-07-02

out the cabin. 4 joyful yell was the result,
and the delighted brute now capering and wag-
ging his tail before him, and now returning
and gently seizing him by the hand and pants,
induced Dredge to follow him.
Their course was up the preciptous sides of
the mountain, and soon they were forcing
their way through a snow drift that had settled
in one of its numerous abrasures. Here comes
the wonder. Upon the snow lay the body of
a woman who had evidently perished from
cold and exhaustion. Her limbs were already
stiffened in the embraces of death. But what
was the surprise of Mr.. Dredge to see that
faithful dog ferret out from a bundle of cloth
ing that lay by the side of the woman, a
young child about two years ofage, still warm
and living. a little inspection, aided by the
pale starlight and the brightness of the snow,
enabled him to discover that the person of the
woman was nearly naked. With mothers
affection she had stripped her own person in
order TO furnish warmth to her exposed infant.
The trusty dog had completed her work OF
self sacrifice and immolation.
Mr.. Dredge Immediately conveyed the child
to his cabin, and arousing some of his neigh
bors, proceeded again to the mountain to Sc
cure from attack of wild beasts the person of
the unfortunate woman. Her body was bur-
led the next day. The child and dog have
been adopted by this good Samaritan. But
as yet he has been unable to obtain any light
as to the name of the woman, or how she hap
pened to stray on the dismal mountain side at
such an unfortunate hour. The child is do
ing well and is truly a handsome boy.

A WAY TO KEEP EGGs.-During long yoy-
age to SouthAmerica it was noticed how fresh
the eggs continued to be. The steward was
called upon for his secret. He said as he pur-
chased his stock, he packed it down in small
boxes-rasin boxes-and afterwards, about
once a-week, turned every box but the one out
of which he was using. That was all. The
reason of his success is, that by turning the
eggs over he keeps the yolks about the middle
of the albumen. If still, the yolk will after a
while find its way through the white to the
shell, and when it does so, the egg will spoil.
Hens understand this fact, for they, as is well
known, turn over the eggs upon which they
set at least daily.

table spoonful of yeast, stirring them well
together, and bottle for use. The corks must
be well secured. The drinks will be in high
perfection in four or five days. This is a very
refreshing and wholesome beverage, and one
which may be largely partaken of without any
unpleasant results even in the hottest weather.
Those who make use of old cider, will find
this much superior as common field beverage.

oh give not up to sorrow,
And never know despair
Let hope light up the morrow,
With all its holy cheer.
Why should we mar the moments
That past US swiftly fly,
By cruel. dark forebodings,
When joy itself is nigh ?
Though dark misfortunes meet US,
And friends and fortune fail,
And many objects greet us,
To tell the sadden'd tale
Let's view it as our share of toll.
That's nobly to be borne
And light will be the burthen,
Howe'e the heart was torn.
Oh give not up to sorrow.
And never know despair
Let Hope light up the morrow,
With all its holy cheer.
He who can light the darkness
Will every care disarm-
The storm of life will rage to-day;
Tomorrow brings it calm.

BRILLIANT WHITEWASII

Many of our readers have doubtless heard
of the brilliant stucco whitewash on the east
end of the Presidents house at Washington.
The following is a receipt for making it, as
CLEANED from the National Intelligencer, with
some additional Improvements learned by ex-
pertinent -
Take half a bushel Of nice unslacked lime /;
slake it with boiling water, cover it dnring
the process to keep ii in the strainer, and add
e, a ,,-~= of clean salt, previously well dis
solved in warm water; three pounds of ground
rice, boiled to thin paste, and stirred in boil
ing hot half pound of clean glue, which
has been previously dissolved by first soaking
it WELL and then hanging it over slow fire,
in small kettle, within 4 large one filed
with water. Add five gallons OF hot water to
the whole mixture stir it well, and let it
stand a few days covered from the dirt. 1t
should be put on right hot; for this purpose,
it can be kept in kettle on portable fur
mace. 1t is said that about pint OF this
mixture will cover a square yard upon the out
side of a house, if properly applied
Brushes more or less small may be used ac-
cording to the ncatness of the job required.
1t answers as we'll as oil paint for wood, brick
or stone, and is cheaper. 1t retains its brill
Iiancy for many years. There is nothing of
the kind that will compare with it, either for
inside or outside walls. Coloring matter may
be put in and made of any shade you like.
Spanish brown stirred in will make red or
pink more or less deep according to the guam
tity. a delicate tinge of this is very pretty
for inside walls. Finely pulyerized common
clay, we'll mixed with Spanish brown, before
it is stirred into the mixture, makes lilac
color. Lamp-black in moderate quantities
makes slate color, very suitable for the out
side of buildings. Lamp black and Spanish
brown mixed together produce rediSh stone
color.
Yellow ochre stirred in makes yellow wash
but chrome goes farther, and makes color
generally esteemed prettier. In all these ca
ses, darkness of the shade will of course be
determined by the quantity of coloring used
1t is difficult to make a rule, because tastes
are very diferent it would be best to try ex'
periments upon a shngle and let it dry. We
have been told that green must not be mixed
with lime The lime destroys the color, and
makes it crack and peel.
When walls have been badly smoked, and
when you wish to have them a clean white, II
| is well to squeeze indigo plentifully through
| a bag into the water you use, before 1t is stir
| red in the whole mixture.
If a larger quantity than five gallons is wan
ted, the same proportions should be observed

A WHOLESOME DRINk.-The excessive use
of cold water during the sweltering heat of
summer, often results in serious and alarming
illness. 1t is therefore advisable that some
beverage should be substituted for it, of which
