from the State are issued to the proper holders of
all such certificates on their presentation mt the

should be taken by those who intend 10 purchase
certain lots Of land, that their descriptions ac-

not others portions Of others, with their proper

L. the Chinese Sugar Cane Poison To
Horses and other Animals.

We have seen several statements going
the rounds OF the papers, to the effect
that horses and cattle, in a number of
instances have been poisoned by eating
the seed of the chinese SUGAR cane. But
the most conclusive cases of tho kind are
detailed in the Ohio Farmer, by w.
Pierce, Veterinary Surgeon; in Rayenna,
Ohio. The facts as related are substan-
italy these A farmer in Portage coun-
ty Ohio, raised quantity of the Chinese
Sugar Cane, aud saved the seed and
blades. In the course of the winter these
were fed for two weeks to two valuable
horses Having occasion to 80 Il few
miles, the farmer took one of the horses
to ride At first the horse appeared well
and playful, bat when about quarter of
u mile from home, he became suddenly
i'll his head fell, his legs and body were
drawn up, his limbs became stiff and
greatly bloatcd, both in body and mus
ces. lie was finally got home sweating
perfusoly. lie remained in this cOndi-
ton during the day. With careful treat
mcnt, after twenty-fOur hours, the inter
nal bloated began to subside but his
muscles remained bloated for about five
days, and then suddenly subsidized, leav-
ing a large swelling high up on the back
of the forearm This continued to swell
to the size of gallon, remaining for
four weeks, theh matterated and dis
charged, and began to disappear. About
an hour after returning with the horse
the owner started for the same place with
the other After proceeding about three
quarters of mile, he was. taken about
precisely as the first The commence
ment, continuation, progress and termin-
alton Of both, were almost identical. A
neighbor of the adjoining farm had a
horse that eat the seed and leaves for two
or three days, while grinding the stalks
and was similarly affected, for about the
same length of time, with swelling i'll the
same manner. Mr.. Pierce examined this
case on the first Of February, and des-
cribes the condition of all of them, and
concludes by saying-the seed did not
mature, was frosted, and began to mould
when fed
We have no idea that this grain, when
matured and sound, is poison, or in any
way injurious to domestic animals, any
more than Indian corn or oats. That
and kindred varieties of the milet family
have been cultivated and eaten by man
and beast for ages. But any of the GER
Gals that have been wet and become
mouldy and in partial state of decom-
position, when dried and fed 10 cattle or
horses, have frequently been known to
produce disease and death. We have
known a number of instances of the kind
but the precieS SYMPTOMS we do not now
remember. One Of our neighbors, some
years ago, lost a valuable COW from, being
fed on oats that had been wet and be-
come mouldy and partially rotten. And
so we have heard of other instances
where cattle had been fed on corn in tn,
same condition and we have no doubt it
was from this charge that the sugar cane
seed had undergone, that caused the mis-
chief in the cases had referred to- Valley

THE DIcTARsHIP.-Thc N. Y. Erpres,
never spoke more truly than when it is
said that whatever the result of the Kan
sas struggle in Congress, it is morally Ger.
tain that its infusnce upon the public
mind must be such as TO raise the ques-
ton, whether the Immense patronage at
the disposal of the Federal Government,
can be permitted to retain its present. pro-
portions, consistently with the liberties of
the country, and due respect for the in
dependence aud integrity Of the National
Legislation. That patronage at the com.
mand of an unscrupulous and ambitious
President and Cabinet, disposed to ride
rough-shod over the people, has assumed
the character of corruption fund, which
it is the province Of the honest patriot to
watch.
