HOrr0rS in India,

JUBBoLpoRE, Aug. 5.-We were fond
ly hoping that all the mutinies were at an
end, but the last four days has brought
US intelligence of the mutiny of six regi-
ments. At Tegowlie, the 18th Irregular
Cavalry mutinied. They shot their COM
mauding officer, his wife and child, and
burnt alive their doctor, with his wife and
child, in their own bungalow. At Futty-
ghur, the wife and child of Mr.. Tucker,
being about to fall into the hands of an
other rebelliOus set, she called to her hus.
band to shoot her at once. He did so,
his child also, and then himself. A Maj.
Robertson has also shot his wife, and
his children, aud himself, under similar
circumstances. This is new and melau-
choly feature in the tragedies. All this,
having occurred within the last few days,
makes US the more anxious about being
left here unprotected. The officers of the
SD naturally uphold their own regiment,
but as now there are scarcely ten regi-
ments remaining of the Bengal Army, it
is very probable that the SD will go soon-
er or later. IL is most inscrutable. A
regiment appears stauuch up to the hour
it mutinies, everything going on as usual
up to the very hour of the outbreak

-Four Thanksgivings before Breakfast.

Mary went to spend Thanksgiving Day
with her grandparents, one hundred miles
from Boston. She lived in the city, among
high brick walls, and was very glad to 60
out into the country and see so much sky.
Her father, mother and the baby went also.
How delighted the grandparents were, and
all the little cousins who lived at the old
homestead! But Mary was very tired, and
went to bed soon after supper, with the
promise Of being walked up early the next
morning. She did wake early, with the
first peep of the sun; her mother dressed
her, aud she ran down stairs to find good
grandmamma. Where was she ? ain the
kitchen" What big, light, airy kitch.
en- it was!
There she was, standing before table
spread out with pies, which Mary soon saw
she was slowing away in two baskets.
Cousin George was BY, with his cap and
mittens on. "Pm going to carry Thanks
giving" said George, taking up the big
gest basket. "Carry it all off" asked
Mary, in little sorry tone. "Oh no."
said George; "cau't Mary 60, too?"
"Can't I, grandmother" asked Mary.
eyes, birdie," answered she, "if mothers
willing" Mary ran up stairs, and soon
came back with her red hood and cloak
on, looking for all the world, George said,
like little Red Riding Hood. "Let me
carry one" said the little girl; 81 should
love to carry thanksgiving" Graudmoth-
er gave her the little basket, and opened
the door to let the children out.
"Jack Frost is on the posts,' said
grandmother "be careful" "He wont
hurt US, will he?" asked Mary "where
are yoU soing, Georgs?" "You'll see"

Important Invention for the Preser
vation of Meat, &c.

The cost of transporting beef cattle from
the great pastures Of the West, say sl4
per head on an average, is equivalent to
two cents pound for the meat, beside the
loss of shrinkage from week or ten days
of semi.starvation.
The saving Of one cent pound upon
the meat of the live animals received in
the city in 1856, only SO far as thoy en-.
tered into our market reports, would have
amounted to s2,O7s,SOO.
The project Of transporting fresh meat
from Ohio in refrigerator railroad cars, is
not quite as preposterous As it was few
years ago to think of sending messages
across the country upon little threads Of
iron. Both have been done. One, to such
an extent that nobody doubts its feasibil-
ity the other is only known to few, but
those few know its perfect feasibility, and

Posture in Sleeping.

1t is better to go to sleep on the right
side, for then the stomach is very much
in the position Of bottle turned upside
down, and the contents are aided in pass
ing out by gravitation. II one goes to
sleep on the left side, the operation of emp
tying the stomach Of its contents is more
like drawing water from a we'll. After
going to sleep, let the body take its own
position. Ii you sleep on your back, es-
pecially soon after hearty meal, the
weight Of the digestive organs and that
of the food, resting on the great vein Of
the body, near the back bone, compresses
it, and arrests the flow Of the blood more
or less. If the arrest is partial, the sleep
is disturbed, and there are unpleasant
dreams. If the meal has been recent or
hearty, the arrest is more decided, and
the various sensations, such As falling ov.
er precipiee, or the pursuit Of . Wild
beast, or other impending danger, and tho
desperate effort to get rid Of it, arouses rs,
and sends on the stsguating blood, and We
wake in fright,or trembling, or perspira-
tion, or feeling Of ofe1haustion, according to
the degree Of staguation, and the length
and strength Of the effort made to escape
the danger. But when We are not able
to escape the danger, when we do fall ov.
er the precipice, when the tumbling build
ing crushes US, what then? That is the
death of those Of whom it is said, when
found lifeless in their bed in the morning,
"That they we're as well as they ever were
the day before;' and often it ia added,
Sand ate heartier than common !'' This
last, as frequent cause Of death to those
who have gone to bed to wake no more,
we give merely as private opinion. The
possibility of its truth, is enough to deter
any rational man from late and hearty
meal. This We do know, with some GER
tainty, that waking up in the night with
painful diarrhea, or cholera, or billions

time, is properly traceable to late large

Turkey Fattening.

At this season of the year the subject
Of fattening is Of greatest importance
Many of the birds brought to market are
very poor, and a little attention to thi:
matter for few weeks will increase the
profits of the farmer and the pleasure Of
the consumer.
1t is only when the cold comes, and
turkeys are about six months old, that
they should be fed with better and more
pleasant food, in order to increase their
size and plumpness for market. Indian
corn, ground barley, wheat, also rice and
other articles used to fatten common fowls,
are considered best for turkeys. Their
weight, when we'll fattencd and carried to
market, should average twelve pounds
their living and dead weight is as eight
cen to twelve pounds.
Cobbett says, GAS to fattening turkeys,
the best way is never to let them get poor

en- to them fresh, will make them fat, in
a short time. Boiled potatoes mixed with
Indian meal will furnish a change of
sweet food which they relish much, and
of which they should be allowed to eat as
much as they can. As with others, the
food of this bird must be kept clean and
the utmost care taken not to give them on
the morrow the mixture of the preceding
day because if the weather is warm, it
will sour, which might displease them"
Much has been published of late in our
agricultural journals in relation to the al
imentary properties of charcoal. 1t has
been repeatedly asserted that domestic
fowls may be fattened on it without any
other food, and that too in a shorter time
than on the most nutritive grains. az

confined in pen and fed on meal, boiled

lamb, venisou, turkies, geese, ducks, fowls
eggs, game birds, butter, and probably
choice fruits and Summer vegetables, thai
will be transported hither from the teem
ing West just as fresh and sweet as they
are where they are produced in such abun-
dance, and just as cheap, less tie cost Of
transportation.
The Refrigerator Cars are built upon
the same plan as the Fruit and Meat. Pre-
serving Room exhibited to and admired
by thousands, at the late State Fair at Buff
falo. Nothing comes in contact with the
ice, or acquires any dampness from the
vapor of its melting. The articles to be
preserved are in one room and the ice in
another; current of air circulating over
the ice, passes into the preservatory, keep
ing it at steady temperature of about 40o, +,
which will keep meat dry and sweet-all
impurities of the air being absorbed by
charcoal. Refrigerators upon this plan
have been made for family use, and some
of the largest of our hotels consider them
indispensable. They are also in use in
several private houses, and we can, after a
thorough test, recommend them as the
neatest perfection of any device we have
ever seen for the purpose of preserving all
kinds of food. We have eaten lamb, re-
ceived two weeks after it was killed, in
Ohio, and then cooked and kept in one Of
these refrigerators a week in midsummer
We have kept ripe blackberries a week or
ten days, and melons, put in before quite
ripened, were arrested in the ripening pro-
cess, and so remained. We see no end to
the application of the principle, either in
a large or small way, to preserve food in
fresh condition. The plan, therefore, of
bringing fresh meats from Ohio, Summer
or Winter, and carrying back fresh pro-
ducts Of the sea, or tropical fruits, is not
visionary one. And it has been tried to
sufficient extent to prove that the cost of
transportation is considerably less than
two cents a pound. In one of the expert.
mental cars, at one trip last Summer, 1900
turkeys, chickens, geese, &C., and $50 car
casses of mutton, we're delivered in this
city in as sound, sweet, and fresh condition
as when first placed in the car, in which
they remained nineteen days, having been
long on the way, and several days 10 the
city, undisturbed, after their arrival Du-
ring this entire period the thermometer
ranged above sO' daily.
Now, why should not the people of this
city partake Of the advantages Of such an
invention to procure cheaper and better
food. That they do not is partly from
want of faith in the truth of what we be.
lieve We have truly stated-partly because
it is new invention, which proposes
radical change in the method of transpor-
tation-iu short, locating the city abat-
toirs in Ohio, instead of in our streets
and partly because the inventor, like nearly
all his class, is poor, and those heretofore
associated with him to provide capital have
"gone down" in the general prostration.
1t remains to be seen whether it can be re-
vived in season to confer any benefit upon
us in this time Of need.-N y Tribune

Written Sermons.

The Congregational Herald, quotes
from an exchange an accoun. of Rev DR..
Davis, who had been announced to preach,
but said to the congregation, that, by an
oversight of the baggage master, his car
pct-bag had been carried on, and that
some one else must therefore preach in
his stead. The Herald says: "Imagine
Paul standing on Mars Hill at Athens, be-
fore an assembly of keen, criticising
Greeks, and saying, 'Ye men of Athens,
L perceive that in all things ye are too su.
perstitious, and | will argue the question

As it sounds from the woods, it drps from the
As it swells in the rivers, and roars 10 the seas.

As it drops from the caves, II beats the pane
As plays the roof, while its echoes start.
To the tune of the past, in the song of the heart
Chime in, my song, with the Autumn rain,
There is no despair in its dreary strain;
Its lone low notes OF wo belong
To the homeward way, and the pilgrims song
Chime in, my song, with the Autumn rain,
Its notes will change into Joy agsin
