A ROMANTIC INcIDENT.-The Cuba IN
" True Patriot records romantic incident
which Is said to have occurred in Allegheny
county short time since. A couple were
married. The bride was as beautiful as the
morning; her eyes like the sun. The husband
was patriotic; he enlisted and went TO the
war. A liberline from Chat u qua county saw
the beautiful wife, and exclaimed : I" Ye gods,
how beautiful y He sought her society, and
ostensibly won her confidence; she consented.
He gave her ten fifty dollar greenbacks to
make necessary arrangements. She accepted.
The hour was fixed upon. The william went
to his hotel to smoke the impatient hours a.
wav. when the following letter was put into
his hands:
AR. -, have to inform you that cir
cumstances beyond my control will prevent
me from fulfilling my engagement to elope
with you tonight. l expect my husband
home on furlough soon, to spend Christmas
and New Years, when we shall enjoy hearty
laugh at your discontinue. Meanwhile, /
will keep your money as q Christmas present
for him, and when this cruel war is over 1t will
come handy to assist him to start in business.
Yours, tenderly," c. T. n.
"P. S.-When next you attempt to play
the libertine, yon would do well to select Your
victim outside of Allegheny county; and, a.
bove all, beware of a soldiers wife,"

Sick Animals.

II Is vastly more important to keep animals
In health than to cure them when sick. As
general rule animals may be kept in good
health by the observance OF few simple
rules:
/. Animals should always be fed with regu-
larity both in respect to time and quantity.
OreIJeedtngis often the cause of disease.
2. They should have water as often as re-
quired, and that which is pure. Horses will
not drink of hard, limey or clayey, if they can
have access TO pure water.
3. Do not OperHork rises and oxen. Reg
ular and moderate laUor will accomplish more
In the year, and keep them in better condi-
ton than overworking them at one time and
overlooking them at another.
4. sufficient variety should be fed to stock
In winter, and not confne them 10 dry hay or
straw and grain. A mess OF carrots, turnips
or potatoes cut and mixed with ground oats
or shorts, is excellent to promote health, and
should be given as often as twice week.
8. Never feed musty or mouldy fodder; but
If 1t must be used, moisten and sprinkle over
with meal and feed to horned cattle. 1t new
er should be given TO horses.
.. Always shelter stock in cold storms in all
seasons OF the year, and never leave horse,
after being driven, to stand in the cold wind
without being covered with thick blanket or
buffalo.
I. avoid all sudden changes of food in grain
or from hay to grass.
3. Due care should be taken that animals,
always have plenty OF pure, fresh air, and
for this purpose stables should be we'll venti-
lated, as stock often becomes sick from brea-
thing foul air. A proper amount of exercise
Is also ESSENTIAL.
8. Strict cleanliness should be observed. All
animals are found to MAINTAIN better cond-
ton and fatten faster when curried and kept
clean.
When an animal becomes isick, one of the
best measures to be adopted, good nursing.
This is method beginning to be advocated by
the best practitioners of the medical art, as
being applicable TO the human family, and is
unquestionably as advantageous when APP
piled to farm stock. There is no doubt that
the life of valuable animals is often lost by
doctoring, while many recover when left to
themselves and the workings of Nature.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.
