Diptheria in its early stage may be recog
nized by any person of ordinary capacity,
by two marked symptoms; the sensation of
a bone or hard substance in the throat, rem
dering swallowing difficult and painful, and
a marked factor, or unpleasant smell of the
breath, the result Of its putrefactive tenden-
cy. On the appearance of these symptoms,
if the patient is old enough to do SO, give a
piece of gum camphor, Of the size of mar
rowfat pea. and let it be retained in the
mouth, swallowing slowly the saliva charged
with it until it is all gone In an hour or
SO give another, and at the end of another
hour third; fourth will not usually be
required; but if the pain and unpleasant
breath are not relieved, it may be used two
or three times more, at little longer inter-
walls, say two hours. If the child is young,
powder the camphor, which can be easily
done by adding a drop or two of spirits Of
alcohol to it,and mix it with an equal guam
tity of powdered loaf sugar, or better, pow
dered rock candy, and blow it though a
quill or tube into the throat, depressing the
tongue with the haft of spoon---N. Y.

A Horticultural Curiosity.

Mr.. Frederick Simonson has shown us a
beautiful specimen of fruit, the result of a
new process of migrating. plum tree and
peach tree grew side by side in the garden
OF Mrs J.. A Simonson, in Washington St.
Early in the season, by way of experiment,
six fruit buds on the plum tree were tied
with line silk thread to the same number of
buds on the peach tree. Four of these uni.
ted buds dropped immature from the trees.
The other two set and matured fruit, one
being attached to the peach tree and the
other to the plum. In shape they resem-
bled the plum and in color the peach, but
the flavor partook Of both the peach and
the plum. The pit also exhibited some of
the peculiarities of both these fruits. AS a
curiosity the experiment is an interesting
one, although in practical way it can
prove OF little service, owing to the time and
labor in uniting the buds. What the seed
Of this hybrid fruit may produce is a ques
ton however for the future. a'

There are many gentlemen who travel to

all the while until the whole boil; and then
keep boiling slowly, and stirring briskly for
half an hour. Apply the not liquor to the

The quantity named is sufficient for thirty

the weeds have grown much, in April or
May. To keep it from the box-edging,
boards should be laid against this, and in-
clined SO as to throw any water that may
fall upon the board, on to the gravel; and

DOES IT PAY TO ADVERTISE PA gentle
man doing business in Boston, while trav-
cling in the cars year or two since, took
copy of the Londen Punch with which to
relieve the monotony Of tedious journey;
and having finished reading its well stocked
columns of fact, fun, and fancy" took to
reading the advertisements. At last in a
remote corner, he discovered an announce
ment, about hall an inch in length, which
told him where an article that he dealt
largely in could be procured in England;
and being one of the shrewd, sharp kind OF
men, he wrote the parties for price list,
the result of which was that he sent them
an order amounting to several hundred
pounds sterling, and during the year his
partner. visiting Europe, left another large
order, and they still remain good customers.

Imnroyad Oattle-Aurshires. 9

Within period of about seventy wears
the leading breeds of cattle have been vast
ly improved, with respect to appearance,
period when this improvement commenced
is not material, though tolerably distinct
traces of are found in records a hundred
years back more or less Previous to that
time the prevalent breeds of cattle OH the
Continent aud British Islands were noticea-
bic -ather for the incompeteness of their
maze NJ, the diminutiyeness of their bodies
and the paucity of their products, whether
for the dairy or Strengthening purposes The
peculiar distinctive divisions are Long
Horns, MiddIe-Horns, HornIess, or Pollsd or
Short Horns There are several intermediate
varieties differing, in soine characteristics
but still retaining a general family resemb-
lance to one OF the other of the leading classes
Whether it has been by CROSSING ON the
part of breeders, or from improved manage
ment and keeping, certain it is that all the
leading stocks have shown marked improve
ment within the last thirty or forty years
Among the most noticeable of these improve
ed breeds, and marked favorites with cattle
breeders aud dairymen, is the Ayrshire, sup
posed to be an improved development of the
old Teeswater, once in high repute in yari-
GUS parts of England. Flint, in his treatise
on mich COWS and dairy farming, devotes
considerablespace to this breed, and concludes
that for dairy purposes purely, or mainly,
the Aryshires deserve the first place In
consequence of the cows small symetricaI
and compact body, well formed chest, and
capacious stomach, there is but little waste
through the respiratory system; while, at the
same time, there is very complete assim-
ilation Of the food, aud thus she converts a
large proportion of her food into milk, and
of a better quality than any other breed.

The LOST RAoEs.-Almost every day
there are discoveries made of now ex
tinct race These discoveries are generally
made by excavating in the mounds that
are scattered all over this land. In the
shutheru portion of this county, near the
boundary of Indiana, stands several OF
these mounds, upon one of which there are
trees one and two feet in diameter. This
mound was dug into few days ago by Mr..
Lewis Nicholson, of this village, and many
vestiges discovered of this lost race;
among other things discovered was an I'M
der jaw, in remarkable state Of perserva-
ton, which must have belonged to person
seven or eight feet high, it being large
enough to slip entirely over the jaw of a
large sized man of the present day, Mr..
Nicholson also took out thigh bone that
must have belonged to a person at least
seven feet high. This bone can be seen at
the Post Office in this village. These re-
mains, though in a remarkable state Of
preservation, must have remained under
ground six or seven hundred years, judg-
ing from the size of the trees and other in
dications about the mounds. Whoever
these pc ople were whose bones are thus
discovered, and whose history is lost fol
ever in the burial of their dead they showed
high degree of bumanity.-Cass County
