DISEASES OF HoGs.-Swine are much more
subject to disease than most persous imagine, and
the human species who eat swine are much more
interested in the preservation of their health,
than is generally conceived. Many of the dis
eases of mankind, we imagine, originate in the
consumption Of unhealthy animal food If 50,
it is important that all animals should be in a
perfectly healthy state, when slaughtered for food
On the subject of the diseases of hogs, the last
DanvilIe Times publishes letter from Mr. Kemp
who seems to have had considerable experience
in their management. He thinks that the pre-
valent disease this winter among hogs, generally
called cholera. is nothing but fever He classes
the diseases of hogs thus; measles, fever, mango,
murriau or eprosy and gargut.
He has cured number afflicted with fever or
so-called cholera, with the following prescription:
tea-spoonful of spirits ofturpentne, one table
spoonful of castor oil, and one tablespoonful OF
sulphur, to be given as soon as the disease appears
and to be repeated frequently.

A NEW CURE FOR CONsUMPTION.-A re-
cent letter from Paris to the New York Even
ing Post says:
NJ. Baleguer addresses communication to
NJ. Piorry, in LIE Courier Medical, describing
the properties of a new oil, that seems endowed
with a marvellous facility for traversing animal
membranes. If fe79 drops are poured into the
palm of the hand, aid the palm rubbed with a
finger, the oil is soou seen ooZing through the
back Of the hand. The same experiment tried
on the forearm produces the same result.
When the oil is saturated by foreigu substance
it loses none Of this remarkable power for alb
sorption, and can therefore serve as vehicle
par excellence for the administration of drugs.
The experiment has been tried with copaiba
and with iodine, and with very satisfactory re-
suits. When the oil, saturated with iodine,
was rubbed upon the palm of the hand, and the
back Of the hand wiped with piece of muslin,
the muslin was tnged violet. M. Baleguer be-
lieves that the efficacy of iodine, if administered
in this oil, would be so immensely increased,
that a rational hope might be entertained of its
power to arrest differentiation in the lungs and
prevent hemorrhage. Among the patients upon
whom he has tried this method, in the first
stages OF sumption, he has found the physi.
cal signs of tubereular deposit diminish, the res
piration become freer, enabonpoint succeed to
emaciation, and general feeling Of well-being
to which the unfortunate had long been unac-
customed, begin to establish itself.
NJ Baleguer conceals the name of this won-
derful oil, but he invites NJ Piorry to expert
ment upon it, and offers him bis assistance 10
the further calculation of its characteristics.

Statistics of Immigration.

The Director of the Bureau of Statistics
has received a return of the foreign immi-
grants at New York for the quarter end
ing March 81, 1867. from which it appears
that during that period the whole num-
Der of immigrants was 27,619. of which
S,038 arrived in January, 260 in Feb
ruary, 1921 in March. The entire num-
Der was brought to this country in 1873
vessels, being an average of Isl to each
ship. OF the number, there arrived from
Great Britain-males S906, females 1855 :;
Germany, males = S042, females S4A !;
Switzerland. males $40, females lS9; Prus-
sia, males 4S7, females ISL; France males
453, females 1876; Italy, males 100, females
Is; Holland, males 90, females 78. The
remainder were scattering. The occupa-
ton of the largest number of these were
laborers, the next largest farmers, andthen
follows, in the order of the great number
of occupations, mechanics, merchants and
miners. OF laborers there were 1914 /;
farmers, 3,56S; mechanics, 1851; mer-
chants, 1,75S; anu miners, 1,16S. Ninety
reported themselves as artists, and thirty
six as clergymen. OF the females, 637 were
servants, and the rest gave no occupation.
Among the immigrants there were seven
from Russia, one from China, one from
Turkey, one from Africa. three from Japan,
and one from Greece. OF the entire num-
ber, 81 died at sea. The largest number
brought by any one vessel was 637, in the
steamer City OF Boston, from Liverpool.

HORRIBLE CASUALTY. =.


Four Men StifIed TO Death i'm a Prfvy
Sink-ParticuIars OF the Dreadful
Occurrence - investigation by Ihe
-9COrOner-The Inquests, &c. 5aat uHa
One of the NOSE terrible and distressing
calamities that ever shocked this communi-
ty happened on Sixth street, near the river,
about six o'clock Saturday evening. In a
few minutes the valuable lives of four men
were sacrificed in the most revolving man
ner.a The story of this fearfully- tragic
catastrophe was thus related before the
Coroner's jury yesterday morning by the
son of Thomas Anderson, one Of the vic
tins: 'H-lE1 % I9rf EFa'. .HztH.. -rta1
Thomas Anderson, fJr. sworn-I am the
son of Thomas Anderson, Sr. My father
had dug pit to drain an old one. Yester-
day he, in company with Thomas McCau-
ley, went a little before o'clock to tap it.
Father, with a long stick, punched hole
in the partition between the pits, and 1t
broke through. Mr.. MeCauley went down
with rake to scrape the dirt out to let 1t
drain more rapidly. As soon as he got
down he fell, as though he had fainted.-
Father went down to save him, and fell
across the plank which was across the new
pit. Richard Smith came up and went
down to save father, and fell as soon as he
got down. Mr.. A. G. While went down
with rope, and shared the same fate. /
saw Mr.. Smith motion his head and sink in
the pit. Mr.. Carpenter, who resides on
walnut street, went down with another
person, but they were rescued by Thomas
FitzGiven and others. It took place about
6 o'clock last night. at No. 27 Sixth street,
between Main and the river. ~
The evidence of young Anderson was
fully corroborated by John Beatty, Mike
Nally and Thomas FitzGiven. The follow
ing gentlemen composed the Coroner's
jury: William d. Stone, M. D., foreman
William P. Hampton, A. Sloss, John Coch-
ran, David Connel, and Thomas Fitz-
Given.
After their recovery, the bodies present.
charneI circumstance is scarcely paralleled
in awful suddenness by the fell doom of
Genaro's brothers in the house of the Bor-
gias. Its contemplation awakens the most
unpleasant sensations. And to reflect how
easily the fatal consequences might have
been averted is indeed agoniZing to every
sensitive heart. The merest presence of
mind on the part of Mr.. Anderson would
have informed him of the peril and
the means of avoiding it. When he
saw McCauley prostraJed, if he had
only thought of the foul gas and the deadly
effects of its inhalation, by prompt action
he could have saved himself and the lives
OF Smith and While; and possibly poor Nc
Cauley, too, would have beet rescued. But
it was differently ordained. The tour met
the same horrible death, through COM
mon tender and humane impulse of en-
deavoring to protect the lives of each other.
While they sleep their eternal sleep, so un-
expectedly, may we not hope that the sad
sad lesson of their taking off will induce
greater circumspection among those who
may be called upon to perform such dan
gerous work as that by which these men
were hurried into eternity.

The Company now offer limited amount
of its First Mortgage Bonds. bearing six
per cent. interest, payable semi-annually in
coin, at ninety per cent. This interest, at
the current rate of premium on gold is
equal to nine per cent. per annum on the
price for which they are now offered. The
Company expects to sell but small amount
at this rate, when the price will be raised,
and like all similar bonds they will finally
rise to a premium above their par value

IT was frank, at least, on the part of a
Rhode Island Judge, before whom liquor
dealer was arraigned, that, in reviewing
the evidence, he admitted its ineff1ciency,
saying that under ordinary circumstances
the defendant would be entitled to dis
charge; but, he added, the court can not
ignore the evidence of its own senses. The
court has frequently drank at your bar.
and would stultify itself if it professed any
doubt OF your guilt. The court, therefore
imposes upon you fine of twenty dollars
and costs. -

CURE FOR SLoBBERtNG HoRsEs.-A cor
respondent of the Boston Culttuator says that
this is disease in horses. Saltpeter, a
tablespoonful for dose, was found to cure
the worst case he ever had, and has not
dose. He gives tablespoonful in the
morning, and in three days, if the horse is
not free from it he repeats the dose.

may be as great as the difference between
the numbers who are jolted over the noun
tains in an old-fashioned stage-coach and
those in an Express train between any
two great cities. Then, is it not safe to say
that this through travel will be at once
doubled OH the completion of the road in
1870, and, with the rapid increase of Pacific
Coast population in the next few years.
more than quadrupled? Is it at all ex-
travagant to assert that the through pdssen-
ger business during the first year after the
first train of cars runs from Omaha in Ne
braska to Sacramento, will be worth
twenty-five million dollars? When to this
we add half as much more for its ,oay pas

more then both for its freights, expresses

THE SECURITY AND VALUE OF ITS BONDS.
We have made these calculations that
the public may have some brief data of
facts from which to form their estimate of
the value of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company's First Mortgage Bonds. Be
sides, men of the greatest railroad expert
ence in the country have shown their con-
f1dence in the stock by liberal subscrip-
tions, and this stock must be subordinate
to all other claims. But there are stronger
proofs of the security and value of the
First Mortgage Bonds than any we have
named: ---- .........

rule for ascertaining the number of bushels
of apples, potatoes, ETC., in bins and boxes
is recommended as simple and accurate.
For the number of even bushels, multiply

off one decimal. For heaped bushels, null
tiply by eight twice, and point off two.
