A Sporting Man Used UP.

On the Boston Express train for New York,
Saturday evening, were two sporting men
from the 'hub,' who, as the cars started from
the depot in this city, made great distur-
bance concerning a seat in the car they occu-
Pied frightening many ladies and causing
much excitement. The train was stopped at
the foot of Asylum street, and the roughs
were invited to get off. This they refused TO
do and officers Ryan, Darling and Crane, be-
ing near by and hearing the loud talk, pro-
ceeded to render the passengers assistance.
Officer Ryan entered the car first when be
was Immediately confronted by one of the
sports, who drew off to strike him, not know
ing the man he had to deal with The officer
parted the blow, and sent one in return, which
completely demolished the fellow, and he be-
came as docile as lamb. He was removed to
the station house, where he anxiously enquired
who the man was that hit him. Sid Cowles
informed him that it was little chap they
kept for such occasions named Ryan. "What,
is he the one who knocked Jim Coburn, the
fighter" asked the representative of the
club" "The same" was the reply "Well,
all can say is, I'd rather have Heenan hitme
than have him."

Light YOUR Fires.

1t is urged that preventive of the dreaded
cholera may be found in Keeping open fires
burning during the night. The New York
Journal Of Commerce quotes DR.. Parkin, late
Medical inspector Of cholera in the West In
dies, who believes he has discovered a cause
for the greater prevalence of certain diseases
now than formerly, in the fact of the general
substitution in dwellings of furnaces for the
more genial and healthful old fashioned CRATES
and tire-places. Many of the facts mentioned
by DIR. Parkin in his work on the 4" Causation
and Prevention of Disease London, 1885,"
seems to corroborate his theory Birmingham,
and other large manufacturing cities, it seems,
enjoy an almost complete exemption from fe-
vers and other diseases produced by bad air
The reason assigned for this is the humber of
factory fires. DR.. Parkin further states that
the postmaster of Tore de tire Ponti, Ia town in
Italy situated on the margin of the Pontine
Marshes,) and who appeared to enjoy perfect
health, thus accounted for the circumstance:
II have resided" said he, "nore than forty
years in this place, and have never had the
fever. The only precaution l take is never to
leave the house until the sun is somewhat
above the horison; to return home before night
fall, and then to light a fire.

NEGRO RESURRECTION AT New MADRID
By gentleman just arrived from New
Madrid, Missouri, we learned that a serious
outbreak occurred at that place on Sunday
last.
1t seems that some thirty or forty negroes
collected on Sunday, and commenced.an indis-
criminate shooting into the houses and knock
ing down citizens. The outbreak becoming
alarming, and beyond the control of the local
officers, tho citizens took the matter in hand,
and after desperate struggle shot and killed
two of the ringleaders. and hung third. This
summary proceeding queled the disturbance,
ard when our informant left, the town was
again quiet.

for about two years occupied as a Freedmen's
Orphan Asylum, has been restored to him by
order of General Howard.

Dangers of Hasty Burial.

In debate in the French Senate on the
petition setting forth the danger of buryine
those who are not dead by hasty interinents
Cardinal Bonnet, Archbishop of Bordeaux,
recited three cases of living persons supposed
to be dead, whom, during his experience as a
priest, he had saved from burial In two
cases there was complete restoration of life
One of the persons so rescued-a lady of dis
tlngulshed family-is now happy wife and
mother. A fourth case told by the Arch
bishop, accounts for his own long-sustained
attention to the subject. He said
"ln the summer of 1926, on a close and
sultry day, in church which was excessively
crowded, young priest, who was in the act
OF preaching, was suddenly seized with giddi-
ness in the pulpit. The words he uttered be-
came indistinct: he soon lost the power of
speech, and sunk down on the floor. He was
taken out of the church and carried home.
All was thought to be over. Some hours
after the funeral bell was tolled, and the usual
preparations made for the interment. His
eyesight was gone; but if he could see nothing
like the young lady l have alluded to, he could
hear, and need not say that what reached
his ears was not calculated to reassure him.
The doctor came, examined him, and pro-
nounced him dead and after the usual in
quries as to his age, and the place of his birth,
&C., gave permission for his interment next
morning: The venerable Bishop in whose
cathedral the young priest was preaching
when be was seized with the fit came to his
bedside to recite the De Profundis. The
body was measured for the coffin.
might came on, and you will easily feel
how inexpressible was the anguish Of the
living being in such a situation. At last
amid the voices murmuring around him, he
distinguished that of one whom he had known
from infancy. That voice produced mar
vellous effect and superhuman effort Of
what followed | need say no more than that
the seemingly dead man stood next day in the
same pulpit. That young priest, gentlemen,
is the same young man who is now speaking
before you, and who, more than forty years
after that event, implores those in authority
not merely to watch vigilantly over the care
full execution of the legal prescriptions with
regard to intsrments, but to enact fresh ones,
in order to prevent the recurrence of irrepara-
BILE misfortunes"

The Peat Enterprise.

A New York Peat and Marsh Company has
secured perpetual loan of nine thousand five
hundred acres of land known as the Cayuga
Marshes, from which they can cut twenty-five
thousand tons of marsh grass and flag, valua-
Bile for paper, and peat for the finest quality,
four to fifteen feet in depth, equal to one thou
sand tons per acre for every foot of depth
Below the peat is vast bed of shell mari,
and under that stratum eighty-fve feet thick
of gypsum. ..-...
What are our enterprisng men in New
England doing about our peat beds :? We may
not have them so deep as the Cayuga Marshes,
but they are as rich and as valuable. We
have more than ten times ten thousand acres
of peat beds that are accessible, and with the
inventions that have been produced, million
tons annually may be prepared for market,
which would be used in steamers, factories, on
locomotives and in various mechanical indus
tries.
The peat beds of Massachusetts alone con-
tain treasures that, exhumed, would pay the
entire debt of the State.-Boston Commercial.

WHAT HAS LAMAR FoNTAINE TO SAY p
Evelyn" the New Orleans correspondent of
the Mobile Register, says:
81 am now prepared to prove that the poem
commencing All quiet along the Potomac to-
night was written by Mrs. Ethel Beers, of
York city, and was first published in Harper's
Magazine of Nov. 4, 1861, signed E. B. This
think, settles the question. will furnish
the proofs whenever desired, and have already
sent them to a writer in the Field and Fire
side, who seems to be interested in the subject
| am sure | am sorry it is not Southern
poem; but since it is not, it is wrong to deny
credit to its real author. To Ethel Beers be-
longs the credit of these beautiful lines, and to
this letter is she indebted for recognition of
her merit as poet"

yesterday, and decided by Judge Theard, of
the Fourth District Court, which involves
question of great interest to many parties 1t
was the case of party who was sued ON a
promissory note given in 1862; wherein the
original consideration Though not expressed in
the note) was for Confederate notes received
by the maker of the note ...-
Judge Theard directed that the party must
pay inasmuch as he did not prove that he ever
rendered the notes he had received and as,
when the promissory note was given Con-
federate notes were currency worth par.--N

over to Dubuque, and mentioned the clrcum-
stance to couple of friends, married but
childless, one of them proposed to adopt the
little one as his own. The other immediately
made the same proposition, when dispute
arose as to which of the would-be parents
should have the infantile waif.
Finally an appeal was made to the dice

EIGHTEEN PERSONS POISONED TO DEATH.
We are informed by gentleman who came
in last evening from the town of Lisbon, that
the most distressing case of poisoning occurred
in that town a day or two SINCE A party OF
men were employed in the woods getting out
pine logs, and had shanty boarding house
and employed a man to do the cooking A A
nernission to remain over night, which was
granted He had with him paper contain
Ing strychnine, for the purpose of poisoning
meat in setting his traps for wild animals, and
on entering the shanty it was placed on n, a
board shelf, carelessly, and left there. The
cook in preparing the meal took from the
shelf, as he supposed, a paper of saleratus,
but instead thereof poison, and mixed up and
baked the biscuit, of which they all partook,
from the result of which eighteen persons
were poisoned and died. We give the state
ment as we received it. and have no doubt it
is in the main correct - Grand Rapids (lH'ch}

10 GIVE ONIONS AN EARLY START.-Mr.
Fl. BENJAMIN, of Ontario county, gives the
following method of preparing onion seed Tor
planting -. -, oo,
into blood-warm water, set it where 1t will
not freeze, and let it remain from twelve to
fifteen days. I am careful to have the water
always cover all the seed. In two Or three
DAYS one can tell if the seed be good by the
strong onion smell it will emit in case it is all
right. drain the water off the seed, and
STIR amongst it some plaster, keeping 1t, how
ever a little moist and warm. AT the end OF
three days the seed will have thrown out
sprouts half an inch long. l then plant 1t,
covering about half an inch deep with earth'
and in six DAYS one can see the rows.
