Annoyance to Travellers.

A Acorrospondcnt Of the philadelphia Lcdg.
or writes -
"There is one fashion which COMPLAIN
Of, especially as traveller, which is tho
extreme. unmeaning homage, that Is paid to
the ser, regardless Of ago and condition.
Thus you will often see an old man Of sixty
or seventy, turned out of his seat to make
room for nice, buxom, bread-and-butter
miss Of fourteen or fifteen, though he may
have been travelling for successive days and
nights, and she onlya few hours; or, though
he may DO sick, and she, in the fullest en-.
ioyment Of good health. Such politencss is

myself.
After travelling three nights and days in

called dinner, elected from my seat by

GIRLS BoAKDISo SCHOOLS. Tho Medical
Journal is down upon the fashionable Pro.
testant nunneries or prisons, commonly
called boarding schools. Many parents TO
gard these schools o. almost essential to q
finished education. and girls passing into
their teens look forward to them as On earth
ly elys.um. The Journal finds little TO
recommend, and much to condemn, in these
institutions. 1t nys:
"a few weeks ago, we were called upon
to see young girl suffering from general
debility, neuralgia pains, vertigo. and head.
ache. She had just returned from board.
ing.school in neighboring city, where she
spent onlya month, before her health, pre-
viOusly good, failed. On inquiry, we found
the routine Of the school to be as follows,
and to be certain of tho correctness OF her
account. We have made inquiries Of Others
familiar with its management:
The pupils rise at five in the morning
They study from S to ! o'clock. From ! to
8 o'clock they have breakfast. From 8 in
tho morning to 2P. NJ, Is spent in the
school.room, a period Of six hours. At 2
they have dinner, and from 3 to 5are allow.
cd to walk or take other exercise. From 8
to they have tea, and then study from Z
to 9 when they are sent TO bed.
Their diet Is light and substantial, and
their appctites under such regimen are as
feeble rs the diet.
Now, here tho day Of young. growing
and spirited school girl is divided into periods
ofseven hours for sleep, thrcO for meals, two
for exercise and twelve for study. Every
person under full adult ngo needs eight or
nine hours sleep, and in order that sleep
should be hcalthiul and refreshing they re-
quire at least six hours Of recreation and ac-
tive exercise.
The time for meals is sufficiently ample in
the instance here mentioned, but to allow
only two hours for exercise, and that in the
afternoon, when heat and fatigue dispose
them to rest, Is positively murdcrous. And
twelve hours study per day is ut least FIVE
hours too much for any young person. A
child in full, vigorous health, will acquire
more knowledge in six hours daily, than in
twelve, for full health and mental vigor are
incompatible with the discipline We have
described.
This system Of education takes young,
robust, romping girls, and transforms them
to slow, languid worthless women. To ac-
quirc skill on the piano, little bad French
and namby.pamby knowledge of the Eng.
lish branches, they sacrifice health, energy,
all capacity for the dutie, of womanhood,
and not unfrequently life itself"

The Hog Cholera.

A fatal malady has prevailed among hogs
in the Ohio Valley during the last six months.
1t is computed that between 60 and 20 thou
sand have fallen victims to the destructive
dis.emper within the radit of hundred
miles surrounding Cincinnati. The disease
is considered iucurablo. having baffled the
most critical investigation into its nature,
and as steadily resisted all remedial agents.
The malady has been vaguely denOminated
cholera" from the failure to discover its
true character, and upon that principle,
which. few years ago, prompted mankind
to apply the same term to all ills which re
sembled " cholera in the human body, and
which they did not comprehend. The dis
temper Of which We treat is similar in some
Of its operations to eholea, and in others il
resembles erysipelas.
Mr.. Thomas Gafr, proprietor Of the s1.
tensivo dissilleries and hog pens appursen-
ant, at lawrenceburg, and who has Lost
about four thousand hogs this season by tho
hos dstemper, has devoted his time patient.
ly and indefatigably in seeking to fathom
the profound and alarming mystery. but
with Indifferent success. His examinations,
observation and experiments. however. have
satisfied HIM that the malady Is infectious.
lie at FIRST attributed the disease to the
still-slop." with which his stock was fat.
tened. although he entertained many doubts
from the fact that cattle fed on similar food
were not affected. lie, however. instituted
inquire. among farmers remote from dstil.
series, and who fed their hogs on corn eI.
clnsivcly, and found the mortality equally
great in their droves. lie then procured
Ave perfectly healthy hogs and enclosed them
ina" hospital pen. where many Others had
died. lie fed them exclusively on corn and
water. In few days they siekened and
speedily died, thus proving the Infection,
character Of the disease. He also observed
that hogs belonging to farmers along the
road On which the dead distempercd f.or
were hauled to b. thrown away, were .wcp
OF by scores, thus confirming bis prsviou
test.
DIR. Sutton, an eminent ph. .;sician Of law

gate the phenomenon. Hogs were attcn

the distemper. until dissolution while 9th
ers afflicted, were killed and examined thro
all the stageo, but without atording IN,
clue exposing the origin Of tho disease, o.
developing any facts tha. could suggest up
propriate remedies. The first symptom
arc manifested in the staggering motion o
the hog. which is succeeded with vlolen
purging. with spasms. The disease ther
extends to the throat. which inaames anc
swells until the hog stiles and dies. In thi,
respect, the disease may bs said to resemol,
erynPelas. In fact. as |, is from this caus
chiefly that death is produced. tho malady
seems more nsArly allied to ery.ipslas in IN,
throat than to cholera. Mr.. CAT further
observes that young stock hog. are more
easily infected than full grown and fat ones

FRKzrSo TO DEArH. That TO be frosen
to death must be frightful torture, many
would consider certain, from their own eI.
perience Of the effects Of cold. But here
We fall into the usual error Of supposing
that the suffering will increase with the en-
ergy ofthc agent, which could only be tho
case IL senslbilty remained the same. In.
tense cold brings on speedy sleep. which fas-
cinatss the senses, and fairly bcguiles men
out Of their lives. The most curious exam.
pie Of the seductive powers Of fthe cold, Is to
be found In the adventures of tho botanical
party, who, IN Cooks first voyage, were
caught in snow storm on Terra del Fueso.

RAISING DonsTic TrRKkYs. A writer in
one Of our agricultural journals says
II is my opinion that farmers can raise .
pound OF fowl easier and cheaper than q
pound Of pork. Heretofore have boen un-
fortunate in missing turkeys, but this season
I adopted different mode "A plan OF my
own invention - by which have been very
successful. Others may have adopted the
same eouse, but not to my knowledge.
Young turkeys are apt to die before they
attain the age Of three wesks. came to
the conclusion that the fatality among them
was caused by vermin, heavy feed, and cold,
damp weather. My method this season has
besn this: Take the eggs Of the first laying
and set under barn-yard hens the second
laying let the turkeys hatch. Two or three
days before Matching sprinkle the nest and
the fowls themselves with little fne pow
dored sulphur. When the young were
hatched took little sulphur, gunpowder,
and lard mixed, and creased their heads and
necks to keep OF tho vermin while the young
brooded. In eight or ten days repeat the
dose and put on another coat.
Mode Of feeding: | took equal quantities
0fwhea, bran, and Indian meal, and wet
with sour or lappered milk, with good lot
offnc-cut schives once IN two or three days
in with it, and fed them with till month
or six weeks old; then lessen the plan.-
Feed them early in the morning to keep
them rambling in the wet grass or dew.
Such has been my method Of feeding and
management, and l have lost only two out
Of forty hatched. Ducks managed in the
same way-lost three by accidental causes
out Of thirty-dye hatched. One, only, died
while young. Chickens in like manner,
with CREASED heads and sulphured nests -
lost three in about sixty. This is my mode
and my success.

HoRss RApisM.-Inquirics are often ma do
as TO the most succusful mode Of growing
horse-radish, and having had some expert
ence in the business, will, with your per-
mission, communicate the process which l
have found to DO the most generally success
ful. The soil most congenial to the horse
radish, is moist, deep soil, replete with
humnJ, but not wet. The land should be
thoroughly plowed and reduced to fine
tilth, and have sutiiciency Of old, well de-
composed manure well worked in. 1t
should then be ridsed in ridges three feet
apart one way, and the roots about half
an inch in diameter - cut into pieces one
inch in length, and planted in the ridges,
two feet apart, and but one piece in a
place. The covering should not be deep
say one inch, and the after culture be the
same in every respect ~ that Of potatoes.
The crop may be pulled after the severe au-
