ST. LOUIS, April 81. A riot occurred at East
st Louis on Saturday, in which three men were
injured. In consequence of the high water in
the river the inhabitants stopped up q culyert
on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad to prevent
the town from being submerged rhe road
master, fearing it would be washed away, pro-
ceeded with track hands to remove the obstruc-
ton They were met by u crowd, who ordered
them off The matter was referred to the Provost
Marshal who sent over a guard OF 60 men to
quell the riot. The found - or 100 men as
sembled to prevent the obstruction being re-
moved. The crowd was ordered away but re.
fused 10 90 and the guards advanced.
Several shots were fired ut the guards, but
none were hurt. The guards then charged bay
onets on the crowd, and three mer were
wounded-one severely Yesterday Col. Par
son and Mr.. Bacon, President of the road, went
over to examine into the matter, and decided to
allow tho distractions 10 remain, as their re-.
moval involved the destruction of n large amount
OF property.
Ii is doubtful whether an embankment will
prevent the town from being submerged, as the
road is nearly oyertowed in several places.

Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

the most cfectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is conn
binod from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expuigation Of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue Of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for tho cure Of
not only scrofula, but also those other affeo-
tons which arise from it, such as EnuPrIvp
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRs,
ROSE, or ERYsIpgLAs, PlMPLBs, PUsTuLps,
BLorcHrs, BLAINs and BoILs, TUMoRs, TErrBR
and SALT RnEUM, ScALp HEAD, RINswoRM,
RHEUMATIsN, SYPHILITIc and MERcuRIAL DIS
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED or 1MruRE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " mpurity of the blood is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapn-
rlla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible In
contaminated constitutions.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, a corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated.
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, ID
pervados the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor Is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure Dir, filth
and filthy habits the depressing vices and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
il seems to be the rod of Him who says, al
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt OF ulcerous matter, which, In
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, 10 termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, SO that scrofuous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; !;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fcction, and their health is undermined by it.
TO cleanse it from the system We must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such o medicine we supply in

CATTLE GNAWING BONES.

Inquiries are constantly made, and ma
ny times answered, in relation to the cause
and cure of this singular habit of cattle
more particularly cows. Cows keep on
white grass hay in winter, or in white
grass pastures in summer, will almost in
evitably INDUCED in this practice. The
cause is undoubtedly the loss of carbonate
of lime in the system, from an absence of
carbon and lime in their food When
the lands of New England were new, this
phenomena was unknown. 1t is the natu
raj result of an exhausted soil. When
COWS are fed upon clover, hay or grass,
or other articles Of food which contain all
the elements which enter largely into the
secretion and production Of milk, the in.
stance will be rare in which they will med
die with chips and bones. The great
mystery of the cause lies more Immediate
ly in the want of knowledge Of the sci
noes which reveal natures process for,
schanging earth, air and water into bread
milk, meat and clothing. A sufficient
quantity of milk for the manufacture of a
frkin of butter will require all the caustic
lime in crude state, that is contained in
the butter in an organized condition, and
if not supplied in the animals daily food +,
will draw on the system for such supply
which has been organized there for the
purpose of making bone. Where and
what these materials are, and how they
can be SO combined as to produce the
greatest quantity of milk without destroy
ing the vital organism of the system, are
questions which interest every person who
ownes a COW. Early cut clover, timothy
and red-top are sweet, juicy and nutritious,
and possess the power to produce milk and
make bone. So grain of corn, for in
stance, possesses in we'll organized ar.
rangemcnt, the phosphate of lime and
magnesia; also the salt ofiron, lime and
starch, which enter largely into the com

Low HEADED FRUIT TREES.

In trimming fruit trees, we should al
ways be careful to secure the trunk from
the rays Of the summer snn. Solar heat,
by being long permitted to come in con-
tact with the bark, is said to scald the
circulating fluids, and thus cause many of
the diseases which affect fruit trees in this
climate. The foliage only should be full
ly exposed to the influences of heat, for
that is capable of bearing it unharmed,
and even to profit by it, when most in
tense. 1t has been asserted by distin.
guished terraculturists that trees which
are permitted to branch out low-say three
or four feet from the ground--are rarely
attacted by "6re blight" ''frozen sap
blight" black spots, or other diseases of
the bark or limbs.
There is also another advantage attend
ing this practice. The soil is kept lighter,
looser and more free from weeds, and
there is no necessity of mulching. The
high winds pass, also, almost harmless
over the trees, and have not power to
twist, rack and break the branches, or to
detach the fruit, as they do where the
branches aspire, and are exposed. A
writer on this subject says;--
"The trees will be much longer lived, !,
more pr oli6e, beautiful and profitable
They are more easily rid of destructive
insec Is, the fruit is much less damaged by
falling, and the facilities for gathering it
are greater there is less danger in climb
ing, and less danger ofbreaking the limbs
The trees require less pruning, scraping
and washing-if the two latter are thought
necessary, and the roots are protected
from the scourgc of the plow, which is too
often allowed to tear and mutilate them."
The proper shape for fruit trees is that
of an umbrella reversed. When this shape
is com municated by pruning, the foliage
is more freely exposed to the action of the
solar rays, and to the air, which ought al
ways to have free circulation among the
foliage and fruit By communicating a
conical form to any tree, although it may
be rather more graceful and elegant in its
effects upon Landscape, we certainly in
jure it in many ways, if looked upon as an
object of profit. The fruit of apple trees
which grows on the interior limbs, where
the surrounding foliage and branches pre-
vent the suns rays from penetrating, and
where the direct influences of heat are
never felt, is, to certain extent, insipid !;
it does not mature thoroughly, and will
not keep so long or SO perfectly as that
which grows on the outside branches ex-
posed to the sun and wind. 1t also varies
SO much in shape-and especially in color,
that we have known two plates of apples
selected from the same Baldwin tree, one
of which was pronounced by skillful
fruit-grower to be the Baldwin, and the
other plate another variety IN E.
