in swarming hive Of bees, was stung
on the back Of the neck, and this
stone, having been heated in warm
water, was applied TO the swelling one
minute when the pain and swelling
together disappeared. Mr.. LaWshe
states, on the authority of hunters IN
his section Of the country, that inc
deer feeds with impunity on the wi !a
or poisonous ivy, his escape OF DEAN
being attributed to this stone. In
one case hunter killed deer wn,le
browsing on the ivy, and although The
desh was eaten by himself and others
without bad effect, ms dog' VINO eat
the entrails, died.
All this seems 20 be somewhat
doubtful, yet there are many cases re-
lated of the virtues Of this stone. The
snecimen under consideration appears
10 be water worn pebble, and totally
unlike the concretions found in the
bladder of the human body, which are
indications of disease. In the opin-
ion of our chemists and geologists, to
whom it had been submitted, ii can
not be a product Of animal disease,
but j. Enthusiastically mineral pro-
duction, accidentally or purposely
swallowed by the animal. They do
not subscribe TO the popular belief in
its virtues, and attribute its protested
effects to imagination As a curiosity.
however, without regard to the fact or
falsity Of the assumptions made for it,
we consider il, of sufficient interest to
engage the attention Of our readers.
Knowing nothing practically of the
value of these curious natural
productions, we presume to offer no
opinion on the subject of their medi-
cal properties.
1t has been suggested that the ma
terial for these stones is found in the
calcareous and silicious soil about the
salt ticks which deer frequent, and
that being of an indigestible nature,
it remains in the stomach, gathering
gradual accretions, and by muscular
action being slowly rounded into
form. =
This opinion receives some force
from this fact, that similar stones,
called +" bezoars, have been known
and used in the East from time imme-
moriable, and are usually found to be
corrections surrounding some foreign
subtance In the stomach of ruminants.
The pearl is said TO be formed in a
similar manner, and the Chinese in
troduce beads and small images into
pearl oysters, which i'm time become
coated with the substance.

A New Textile.

The last discovery which comes to
us from Nevada is agricultural rather
than mineral, but very important Il
is of a new textile, such as was eager
ly sought when the rebellion broke
out, but unsuccessfully. The plant
now discovered has its home in the
Humboldt Valley, where it grows in
large quantities, and can, of course,
be made to grow more thrifty by Gull
tivation, while, If il has the values
which are ascribed 10 it, it will soon
be removed to other fields and pro-
pagated among regular crops
The plants said by the discoveries
to besuperior to any textile now In use.
Though styled hemp, it il called so
on account of its closer similarity to
that than any other growth. Tt has a
stronger and finer fiber than the pro-
per hemp, and much longer staple.
In proportion TO the wood, too, the
fiber is much more abundant. 1t can
be more easily separated than flax or
hemp, and can be stripped clean from
the stalk without preparation.
Navada lies between thirty-seven
degrees and forty-two degrees North.
This corresponds with the latitude of
Northern California, of San Francis.
co, Salt Lake City, indianapolis, Co
lumbus and Philadelphia. The Hum,
boldt River, along which the new
hemp grows, runs from the mountains
OF that name westward, through q
mountainous country. If, therefore,
experiment proves what is now claim
ed for this textile, it can be prolonged
in its cultivation from its original
habitation to our own doors, and will
enhance the value Of the hemp harvest
in those States where it is now an i'm
,portant feature.--Philadelphia Ga

The steady fall in the price of -four
during the last two weeks, indicates
that there is more plentiful supply
of that article in the market than has
been generally supposed. This is
partly accounted for in the fact that
by far the greater portion of freight
that has been brought up from the
the west during the winter. has been
flour. Other articles have been neg.
lected while more than usual attention
was paid to this, as witness the extra.

fact for the benefit of freighters from

town, and at two O'Clock of the fatal day
started home on foot accompanied by his
two faithful dogs the only witnesses Of his
horrid suilcrings.
AS the weather was extremely cold, his
friends here accounted for his absence un-
tll Friday. by the supposition that his busi-
ness detained him, but not hearing from
him by saturday, his wife became alarmed,
and n messenger was sent who soon dis
covered the sad intelligence of the death
of the missing man. A party made n care
ful search for him, but not until Monday
morning was his body found, being in II
