just south Of this village.
The family, consisting Of Mrs. h. two
sons and two daughters, upon leaving the
tes-tsble, observed that lamp, which had
been forgotten, needed replenishing, when
the mother proceeded to get the oil can,
which was large one and nearly empty.
and The youngest daughter, Miss Frances
hutchinson, aged about eighteen, held the
light for her to FILL the lamp. Upon the
removal Of the stopper from the can. An
explosion instantly occurred, bursting the
can and scattering the oil over them, COM
pletely enyeloping them in flames. The
Efforts Of the sgonized sons, and daughter,
who were compelled to see their mother
and sister literally burn to death, although
Of the most heroic nature, proved Of no
avail, and ere the arrival Of the neighbors
who were alarmed by their cries, they
were burned fatally. DR.. Crane was soon
at the scene, but the injuries were beyond
the reach Of human remedies.
The daughter fingered until O'Clock,
and the mother until 9, on Sabbath morn
ing, when they expired. The two sons
we're badly burned in their efforts to savs

The NsVSjOes have been at war for nearly

The institution has already been dispos.

Artificial Honfs for uorss..


1t is important to calculate the various
useful purposes to which gutta percha may
be applied. One Of the most ingesious sp.
plioatlons recently made Of this vslusble
substance is that Of making artificial hoofs
for horses feet. Many ingenious devices
have been resorted to, TO stain this result,
but the adoption of gutta percha will,
doubtless, supersede all others as soon as
lis efficacy becomes recognized. What is
required by the veterinary surgeon is a
substance possessing the consistency of
horn, to retain the nails Of the shoe; that
will readily soften by heat so as to mold
itself 10 the requird form; that it be iz-
dissoluble in water, seeing that the horges
hoof is generally in contact with moisture
and, lastly, that it be capable of uniting
perfectly with the hoof. No known sub-
stance possesses all these qualities except
gutts-peroha. For the purpose under con-
siderstion it is prepared by being cut into
fragments the size of q nut and softened
in hot water; the pieces are then mixed
with half their weight of powdered sal
smmoniao and melted together in 8 timed
sauce pan over gentle FIRE, keeping the
mass well stirred; the mixture must as
sumo q chocolate color. When REQUIRED
for use it should be melted in glue-pot !;
the surface Of the hoof must be scraped
clean and the gutts-perchs applied as re.
quired. The application may be fsciIia-
ted by the use Of q glazier' knife warmed.
by which the surface of the artificial hoof
may be smoothed and polished. In this
manner many valuable horse NAV be
rendered useful which otherwise would
only remain fit for slaughter. On the score
Of humanity, also, this application Of gut
ta-percha is TO be welcomed.
