TICKs N SnEEP-Many farmers apply
spirits Of turpentine in order to remove ticks
from their sheep; but this liquid is a weak
ening application, and, although efectuai in
removing the evil, it Injuries the animal al
most as much as would the evil itself, if not
removed. y writer in the Germantown
Telegraph, after shearing his sheep, gives
al his LAMBS thorough washing in New
England rum, liquid which, while it al
most instantaneously destroys the tick,
leaves the animal bright and lively, withou,
any subsequent depression or loss Of energy
and health. This is by no means an expen-
sive application, two gallons of good liquor
worth forty cents per gallon, being enough
for fifty lambs, if properly applied. No tick
can exist in a lock of wool which has been
thoroughly wet in this rum, or any other
distilled liquor. Alcohol, in concentrated
state, is sure death to the insect

ARTISAN WEEL AT PARIs-The French
Government is boring an Artesian Well at
PariS, n the suburbs, between the octroi
wall and the inner line Of fortifcations-
This well, which had reached, six months
aso, to the enormous depth Of ,742 feet,
has been arrested ever since in its progress,
first By arrangement Of the boring ma
chine, and subsequently by a caving in Of
certain points composed of sand strata. The
machinery has been repaired, and side
well has been dug to enable the workmen
to guard against future caving in of the
sand strata, which, fortunately arc not at a
a great depth. The work has been resum-
ed, and, according to the calculation of the
engineers, water will be found at less than
hundred feet from the point of arrest
The object of this well is TO obtain water as
well FOR domestic purposes as for aiding in
the artificial lakes Of the Bots dc Boulognc,
adjacent; bat as it is certain that the water
will not be fit for household use in the con-
dition in which it comes TO the surface, a

Steamboat Explosion.


The Wilmington IN. c. Journal, Of the 18th, gives
the following particulars of the explosion of the
steamboat Magnolia, in relation to which we pub
lished a paragraph:
We learn that about midnight of Tuesday last the
steamer Magnolia, of the Lutterloh line which left
this place on the afternoon of the same day stopped
at Whitehall landing, Bladen county some forty.nine
miles from Wilmington, to put a passenger ashore
While at the landing her boiler exploded, making a
complete wreck Of the boat and killing and woundnp
number of persons. The following are all the par
culars of the loss OF life that we have been able to
learn
WHITE PERSONS KILLED.-Captain Stedman. com
mander of the boat DR.. Fellows, young gentleman
from Philadelphia, said to have been raised in Samp
son Mr.. Tyson a female from Wilmington and boy
about eight years old~neither names known.
CoLoRED PERSONS KILLED.-Simon the cook
Charles, the pilot and two or three Others names
unknown. A colored man named Carver, or Carter
was mortally wounded, and another colored man
badly hurt, although he may possibly recover.
Mr.. I. S. Lutterloh, of Fayetteville, was pretty se
verey injured in the shoulder but his situation is moi
supposed to be dangerous. 1t is proper TO remark
that the body of Capt. Stedman has not been found
but no doubts are entertained of his DEATH II is be
lieved that some fifteen persons were killed, but oul
Wilmington, was on board and made narrow
escape. There were thirty passengers on board
The boat was valued at $40 900; no Insurance.
L. S.-We learn that man named George PAY
man, or Pearman, from Wilmington, was aboard, ac
companying a corpse, which he was carving M tC
Fayetteville for interment. The coffin and what il
contained were blown to pieces and the man has moi
been heard of so that there is too much reason tC
fear that he has also been killed.
