day two since. but not until the parnetra,or

Some three weeks since young mac about 25 or
30 years OF age, and of good address, called az tbs

with the signatures OF Paul Hinton and MIR

On Thursday las. the forger presented another

Loss of Three Thousand Lives.

Near Taganrog, on the sea of Azoff,
catastrophe occurred, about the beginning
of February, which involved loss of
life unparalleled except by memorable
earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, 1t
appears that some 5000 inhabitants of
Taganrog, relying upon the promise of
fair weather, made by the genial atmos-
phere and the cloudIess sky, proceeded to
the Azof Sea to indulge in the sport of
fishing beneath the ice--a favorite pas
time in that region. The atmosphere con-
tinuing serene, the party were lulled into
a feeling Of security and ventured further
than usual upon the ice in the hope Of OBJ
tanning a good haul Suddenly breeze
sprung up from the east, which growing
boisterous by degrees, whirled the loose
snow and fine PARTICLES Of ice in all derec-
tions and before long succeeded in detatch-
ing the ice from the shore.
The large ice-feld then broke into nu-
merous pieces, which, with their terrified
and helpless human freight, drifted to-
wards the open sea. No assistance could
be rendered the unhappy beings by their
frantic relatives and friends on shore,and
within two hours not sign Of life was
visible on the surface Of the sea. On the
following day cake of ice drifted in
shore, upon which were five of the IN
fortunates-three of them dead, ard the
other two numb and insensible. The
two latter girl and 40 old man--were
restored by means Of the usual applian-
ces, the girl, however, survived but few
hours the man recovered, but lost the
use Of his tongue--a consequences, prob
ably, Of the fright caused by the scene he
had passed through. He prepared a
written narrative OF the occurrence Of the
fearful night on the AzOf

FLAT-FooTED OoURTsHIP.

One long summer afternoon, there
came to Mr.. Davidson's the most curl
GUS specimen of an old bachelor the
world ever heard of. He was old, gray,
wrinkled and odd He hated women,
especially old maids and wasn't afraid to
say so. He and Aunt Patty had it, hot
and heavy, whenever chance threw them
together; yet still he Ncame and it was
noticed that Aunt Patty took unusual
pains with her dress whenever he was
expected. One day the contest waxed
unusually strong. Aunt Patty left him
in disgust, and went out into the garden.
The bearr she muttered to herself, as
she stopped to gathers blossom which at-
tracted her attention.

SALT FOR STocK "A correspondent of
the Boston Cultivator says: My practice
is to keep salt and wood ashes where
horses can have access TO them in the
stable. also keep salt in boxes. in my
cattle and sheep shed, during the time
they are kept up; and | make salt boxes
with roofs to them. to stand in my sheep
pastures, with an opening on one side
for the sheep to put in their beads |
mix in little tar and sulp.ur with the
salt for sheep. deening the mixture heal

about So pounds of bones to supply it
