HoRRID AFFAIRl-Some days since a pa

covered an offensive efliuvia arising, which he
had no doubt proceeded from decomposed boz

was ripped up when 10. two dead bodies were
found. They were recognized by the city
Marshal as two fellows who had been loaing
around his Office but had, suddenly, disappear

neither coroner Hall nor Gould were notified

We have noticed that many packages from

This should not be. Our Maine soldiers are
in want of all that can be sent from this State

A SERMON.

The following sermon was preached on
the day of National Humiliation and
prayer-the 4th of August last-in the
Presbyterian Churches of Mt Nebo and
Portersville. 1t was hastily written, with
out the slightest thought that it would
ever be heard OF beyond the bounds of
the Congregations where it was preached.
But many persons in the Grst named con-
gregation, having, without cause, taken
high offence at it, and having much abus-
ed me, aud greatly misrepresented the
views set forth in my sermon, therefore,
at the request of many friends, have
consented to have it published, that it
may be known just what | did say; and
that my statements are sustained by the
Word of God, aud the declaration of the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church. THE AUTHOR.

A friend who is himself aphysiclan, Writes
as follows to the Country Gentleman
The rhubarb question seems to be of some
interest. never heard it was injurious to
teeth or anything else, and used it. But two
Of our physicians said it was decidedly an
improper thing. Can there be varieties'
some or one of which is bada That they
contain oxolic acid there is no doubt, but SO
does the medicinal rhubarb, and never
heard any medical men assert it was there
fore to be disused. Nature modities our
poisons SO well, that they are benefits. 1t
NAV be so in this case. Our field sorrel,
acetoseua, contains oxolic acid, and you and
have chewed it from childhood with plea

Is there no learned medical man near you,
who can look into this thing, for the Amer
leans cannot spare their teeth? AS ma
tion, we are badly off in the dental line
Kahn, the Swedish botanist, who was sent
here by Linn@us in 1748, says the English
of that day complained that they could not
keen their teeth. Kahn looked into the mat
ter, and came to the opinion that it was
drinking hot fluids, tea, &C., and eating hot
bread-whch is done now--ruining the
stomachs of our fellow citizens, and in this
way the teeth. In that early period there
was much more ague than now, which pro-
badly loosensd the bones. l am glad to see
an interest in teeth brought about, as 1T is a
mark of improving civilization. One of my
neighbors in the country, an old farmer,
| asked me: 49,
doctor how do you keep your teeth?"
''By cleaning them" :,
"oh, we have no time for that up here"
he replied.
A friend of mine, travelling in the inte-
rior of our Bootia, and finding no washstand
or tumbler in his room, went to the pump to
wash his teeth. 1t was so strange sight
that the whole household came out, and want

boiling Food for Hogs.

At a recent meeting of the Farmers Club,
Professor Mapes made the following remarks
in regard to boiling food for hogs:
The proof of the saving of food by boiling
has been given here, and, as it can be stated
in very few words, we may as well have it,
Mr.. Mason was a watchmaker in Camden,
New Jersey, and among other fancies he liked
to keep hogs. He has his hog pen just back
of his shop, So that he could sit at his win
dow and watch his hogs. Every spring he
bought some pigs and fed them through the
season. just opposite to Mr.. Mason was the
store of Mr.. Van Arsdale, and every pound
of food that Mr.. Mason gave to his pigs he
bought at this store. At the end Of sis
months he got his bill from Mr., Van Ars,
dale, and he always slaughtered his hogs q
that time, so that he knew exactly how much
his pork cost. For several yesrs it figured
up about Is cents per pound. At length
some one advised him to boil his corn. HI
accordingly got 8 large kettle and cooked al
thesfood which he fed 10 his pigss Then hii
pork cost him Al cents per pound! We ais,
had she experience of Mr. Campbell, which
was about the same as Mr.. Msson's. Henry
| Elworth made some extensive experiments j,
the same thing. and his statement is that 81
pourds ofraw corn makes only ss much porl

Food for Cattle,

The high price of fresh butcher meat in
our cities, should induce many farmers liv-
ing near such large markets to devote more
attention to the raising of sheep and cattle.
1t is not the province of every farm to pro-
duce this fatted meat Some farms are, to
all intents and purposes, breeding farms !;
others are fatting farms; but both are enga'
ged in their respective ways to provide for
the public wants-the public larder. To
keep up successional supply OF nutritious
food on every farm is no easy task. Through
out the summer, autumn, and winter, the
difficulty is not great. The grass pastures
and grazing seeds make ample provisions FOL
tie stock during the, summer and autumn
and the root crops for the winter. 1t is only
in the early spring months and autumn tha
any difficulty arises, j. e. the interim between
roots and grass and grass and roots. NOW
to provide against this uncertainty there art
several common matters of business to be
adopted and attended to-, The culture o.
cabbage, carrots and turnips should be adopt
ed for feed, and given as such till near mid
summer. In average seasons supply o.
cabbage of one variety or other may, with
care and judgment, be maintained through
out the whole year. The largo Drumheat
cabbage and early varieties would form thu
great feature in cabbage culture, and if thu
cabbage was carefully cut and carried to tn
animals, the stalks on putting out new shoot
would yield a fresh supply in early spring
