A farmer in Maine applied kerosene
Oil to very valuable pair of four
year old oxen to kill lice. Both of
them were soon after sick, and one of
them has died. On being opened,
the smell of the oil was quite strong,
and without doubt has caused the sick
ness and death of the animal.

The CAPTURE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.
1t appears from the records of the
War Department that, with the ex-
ception of the Presidents proclama-
ton, none but verbal orders were
given for the capture of Jefferson
Davis. Major-General Wilson says
that Lieutenant-C Colonels Harndon
and Prtchard are entitled to great
credit for the zeal and activity with
which they conducted the pursuit,
and that it is but simple justice to
these worthy officers to remark that
they were ignorant of the reward Mt
the time Of the capture. Colonel
Pritchard says it was so dark that he
could not distinguish the uniforms.
Nothing is said in the narrative
about his being disguised.

GENERAL BRECKENRIDGE The
Fond d Lac Press, in correcting n
statement recently made by the Pc
tersburg Express in reference to
General Breckinridge, says:
General Breckinridge is living q
quiet, retired life at Toronto, but,
when we met him few weeks ago,
we failed to discover the marks of
care in q face which is indeed hand
some and intellectual. SO far from
his head being hoary, it is barely
streaked with grey, not more so than
might be expected in person of his
age. He is treated with u great deal
of respect by the Canadians in fact.
he is a man that will command the
respect and confidence of his fellow
men wherever he goes, or in what
ever position he may be placed. He
speaks hopefully of sRc future, and,
We're he at home, would be an ardent
supporter of the President ) policy of
reconstruction

Sectional Legisla.ion.

Our teIegraphic dispatches, yester-
day, announced that the House of
Representatives, at Washington, had
passed that section of the tax bill
levying duty on cotton of five cents
per pound. Not content with de-
degrading the South from her rightful
political equality in the Union, gloat-
ing over her present impoverish-
ment, these radicals now seek to ruin
her pecuniarily.
A writer in the New York Times
predicts that if prices of cotton should
fall in this country, during the next
twelve months, to twenty cents, the
tax of five cents would be intolerable,
while a fall of twelve cents would re-
suit in the total ruin of the planters
and an entire suspension of cultiva-
ton.
So we go. Surely the end of all
this state OF things must shortly come.
God is just, and retribution to the
men who are now seeking, in their
reckless legislation, to ruin and sub
vert the interests of their country
will certainly overtake them in their
wicked designs.

Dor of the UNION proposes that the Legis

ships to levy tax, for the purpose of re-
funding the money paid by individuals
and clubs to clear their townships from the

times that required men either 'sto fish
or cut bait''-either to smell guapowder Or
pay-aMd men who preferred paying to
fghting, must not expect the men who did
the fighting for them to refund the money
thus expended. Gentlemen who, became
weak-kneed at the prospect of being

sdHostetter's Stomach Bitters was strug-
Cling into notice against the prejudice
which everything new, however excellent
is doomed to encounter TO-DAY it Stands
at the head Of all the tonic and Alternative
preparations in existence. Its celebrity
has invoked many limitations but no rivals.
Physicians pronounce it the only safe slim
ulant that has ever been introduced into
theSsick chamber In the Hospitals of the
Army and Navy, the surgeons find it the
very best tonic for convalescehts, and re-
port it as valuable for sustaining the Vigot
of troops on the march, as a remedy for
seurvy and all seorbutic affections, and as
the only specific for sea-sickness. Califor-
niaiand Australia have eniphatically in
dorsed it.as the Miners Medicine par ex-
cellence, and, in Spanish America and all
the tropical climate, it is considered the
only reliable antidote to epidemic fevers.
There Is no mystery about the causes OF
its success. 1T is the only stomachic and
d alternative in.which are combined the grand
requisites of a mild, pure, and unvitiated
vegetable stimulant, with the finest selec-
ton of tonic, anti-bilious,, anti-scorbutic
aperient, and depurative herbs, plants
roots and barks that have ever been inter
mixed in a midicinal preparation.
The Bitters have this distinctive quality
which is not shared, it is believed, by any
tonic, tineture- or extract in the world
they do not excite sthe, pulse, though thes
infuse a wonderful degree of. vigOr int
the nervous systeth, and strengthen AM
sustain, the whole physical organization.
10 1t is also proper to state that the Bitter
are sold exclusively in glass, and heve
under any circumstances by the gallon O
the barrel Impostors and imitators ar
abroad, and the only safeguard the publ
has against them is to see that the Bitter
they buy bear the engraved label and not

Very COnvenient.-In Brittany a
very convenient matrimonial custom pre-
walls. On certain fete days. the young
ladies appear in red under petticoats,
adorned with white or yellow borders; the
number of these denotes the portion the
father is willing to give his daughter; each
white band representing silver, betokens
a hundred francs of rent; and each yellow
band means gold, and stands for a thou-
sand franks year. Thus, young farmer
who sees face that pleases him has only
to glance at the trimmings of the petticoats
to learn in an instant what amount accom-
panies its wearef.-Erchange. t-
