How TO TREAT HoRsEs.-One who has
had long experience in the care and treat
ment of horses, informs the public that
those having swollen legs from standing in
stalls need regular outdoor exercise for at
least half an hour day. 1t will benefit
them to stand portion of the time in
large stables or box stalls. Their legs
should be rubbed dry after exercising in
the snow or mud. There is nothing lost by
taking the best of care of horses. 1t never
fails to pay. .- -

SAD AfFAIR.--On Saturday last, at sale,
at the house of Mr.. Forney. near Liberty,
In this county, adifflculty occurred between
George Gauvey and Adam Deringer, in
which Gauvey struck Deringer OH the head
with stick of wood, breaking in his skull,
from the effects Of which Deringer died on
the Thursday afternoon following.
Coroner Rouzer held an inquest over the
body on Thursday, and the foregoing facts
were elicited Both ofthe men were in
toSicated at the time of the difficulty, and
the lamentable occurrence may be set down
to the account of an excessive indulgence
in bad whisky. The deceased leaves a
wife and several children.
An examination of the case was com
menced before the Mayor at two o'clock this
afternoon, but at the time of our going to
press, it was not concluded. a

brought this science, that the medicinal

into the resins or salts of the plant. which
they extract from 1t, and leave the inert or
woody matter The old mode of extracting
these medicinal properties-by boiling for
a long time In water-s found, In most
cases. to render the medicinal qualities
wholly inert, or even decomposng them.

Interesting to Brandy Drinkers.

lhteTeStinS 10 ADTdHuy DTiukcFss
In liquor case before the United States
Court at Albany, New York, the testimony
brings to light facts of great interest to
brandy drinkers. 1t appears that "A very
small proportion Of what is sold as pure
French brandy is imported. 1t is manu-
fictured on a large scale at New York,
Albany and elsewhere, from alcohol and
various drugs, aud even the casks with the
French mark are made in New York. There
are said TO be at least thousand handy
factories In the United States. The profits
Of the manufacture are immense, and those
who drink the poisonous mixture will find
Il great economy to buy their own dye-
stuff and make brandy for themselves. One
firm in New York, Dayton a. Co, uses rs
many as a thousand of the bogus French
brandy casks every year. The chief ele-
ments of the made brandy are said to be
'cologne spirit, oil of cognlac and neutral"
10 was stated by one OF the witnesses on the
trial that brandy which sells for from so
TO $l5 per gallon costs only about 81 30 for
manufacture. . o..
