The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1857-08-15

AsrRoSoxIcAL MAKyELs.-In the recent
works Of complete astral catalogues, the
n9niber OF stars visible TO the naked eye in
q single hemisphere, namely, the northern,
is stated TO be less than three thousand-a
result which will strike with astonIshment,
on the CONT Of the smaliness Of the nui =
Der, those who have only vaguely examined
the sky on beautiful winter night. The
character Of this astonishment, however,
will change, when the number Of stars re-
vealed by the telescope is considered.-Car
rying the enumeration TO the stars Of the
fourteenth maguitude--the last that are
seen by powerful te!escopes-there is found
q number superior 10000, goo, and the dis
lance from the faIthest Of them is such that
the light would take from three to four thou
sand years to traverse it. A phOtOmeric ex-
pertinent, Of which the first Indications cx
lists in the Cosmothooros Of Iuygens-an
experiment resumed by Wo!laston short
time before his death, teaches us that 10000
stars the same size as Sirius, the most bril-
liant of the armament, would need TO be
sgglomei ated to shed upou our globe light
equal to that Of the sun,

HeaYeS I'm Horses Cured.

A friend informs us that his best horse
(Which by the way, as well as himself, we
have long KNOWN was sold to him when
but four years old, by a protested jockey
who intended to cheat him. He found, after
the purchase was made, what he had some
fears of before. that as soon rs he was placed
upon dry food, that he had unmistakable
symptoms of the heaves-a rather unpro-
missing symptoms for a horse so young. He
resolved, however, to cure him if possible,
and accordingly fed him only on wet hay,
and at the same time gave dish-rotsr and
other greasy Stops to drink, which Of course
he would not touch till very thirsty. But
be soon learned to Ike this mixture, till he
consumed ali the Stops and sour milk from
the kitchen. and now, at fourteen years OF
age, he will gulp down swi.l as readily as
any pig. The heaves very soon disappeared
ander the treatment administered; but j
was nearly three years before a radical cure
was effected, or until there were no return
ing symptoms when he was fed on dry and
dusty food. He proved a most valuable ami
NAL, and since that time for many years, &C
compiished about twice the amount OF labor,
that common good horses are able to per
form.
