A Dangerous Eye Implement

FROM lne New 1OTh
An old humbug has been revived by Ger
tain ignorant or INSCRIPTIONS parties ii
this city who are advertising the 6 New Pa
tent improved" ivory eye-cups, which they
assert will cure diseases bearing these
frightful names /; Impaired vision, presbyo
pia, asthenopia, ephiphora, sore eyes, weak
ness of the retina, opthalnia, protoph obia
ptotis, myodesopia amaurosis, catabia, and
myopia. Nine of these thirteen names are
carefully picked out from the Greek, and
the extraordinary merit of the cupssappears
to be their ability to cure two diseases Of
exactly opposite character, presbyopia and
n,yopia, or in English, far sightedness and
near sightedness.
So many thousands of people are troubled
with near sightedness and so many have
weekend their eyes with hard usage Of them
that an eye nostrum is is promising thing
for It's proprietor Bot what makes this
"eyp-cup' more reprehensible than other
worthless devices advertised in the papers
is the certainty that those who use it will
injure their eyes as well as their purses
The affair consists of hollow cup pressed
upon the eye, vacuum heing produced in
the cup by previously COMPRISING small
rubber ball attached to the cup. The eff
feet of this vacuum-so long as the instru-
ment retains its ability to produce it's to
draw the blood into the eye, thus acting like
the well known cupping glass In some cas-
ses temporary increase of strength may
ba gained by thisstimulus, but the more
lasting and certain effect will be inflamma-
ton and greater weakness.

Sheen Fever in Vermont.

The sheep fever has been raging violent
iy in We rmont, and is spreading to other
parts of the country in a threatening man
ner. 1t is sheep fever among men, how
ever, and its special location Addison Coun-
ty; the Cornwall finish,'' which was de-
vised at Cornwall in that county, having
given the state as bad a name in parts of
the west as Connecticut, has long had for a
few wooden nutmegs real or legendary
The amount of money which the breeding
of sheep has brought into Addison county,
during the last ten years is surprising; and
the country formerly noted for Morgan hor-
ses, has been largely given up to the new
speculation. Many farmers house their
sheep in better buildings than they iphabit
themselves and their sign of prosperity is
the size and finish of the barn rather than
the farm-h house. One man lately in Mid
dlebury, sold a dozen ewes for a thousand
dollars; another sold dear little lamb for
two thousand, and several others for one
thousand each. Two well known breeders
have just gone to the west with a load of
sixty eight animals, all of which will bring
the usual fancy prices. The fever is al
much an epikemiek as tulip fevers and silk
worm fevers, and must sooner or later fin
ish its course.

Culture Of Peanuts.

| Although information about peanuts may
not be the most practical in this climate,
the following extract about their culture is
at least interesting: For many years past
the ground peanut has been most impor-
tant element of commerce in the Cape Fear
country, North Carolina, the expectation to
the northern states and Canada consideTa-
bly, exceeding three hundred thousand
bushels. A single planter in one of our
counties, obtained from it yearly income
Of six thousand dollars. He raised from
fifty to seventy. five bushels to the acre, and
cultivate five acres to the hand. which at
dollar a bushel-the half frequently realiz-
ed-yielded an income of two hundred and
fifty to three hundred the hand. No such
results under the old system could be OBJ
tanned with staples on similar soils The
cotton planters contented themselves with
crop yielding from twelve to fifteen dollars
per acre, and it was summing up on
large surface that gave q living result
The cultivation of crop is easy. and only
the simplest implements are required; at
first the plow to break the land, and then
simply the sweep and the wedding hoes. -
The average crop, az we before stated, is
from fifty to seventy-fve bushels to the
acre. besides there will be enough left in
ground to fatten O hundred pounds of pork
The vine, when the pea nut is removed,
makes excellent forage for cattle, said to
euqal to the best northern hay. From the
nat is expressed valuable oil. During the
war just ended, this oil was extensively u.s.
ed in our machine shops, and its lubricatory
properties are pronounced by competent !
authority to be superior to those Of whale /
oil, for the reason that it does not gum at /
all. One of the qualities of the oil is extern
sively used for burning purposes, AID pos

The recent completion of the laying the third rail
on the Great Western Railroad, with completion of
great "car boat to transmit the cars across the De-
troit river-making uniform gauge of the roads
running from the Missouri river to the seaboard-
will have great influence in sending merchandise
over this thoroughfare, and increase its receipts.
The ''car-boat is constructed that it convey
over two hundred cars day, at all seasons of the
year. All kinds offreight can be transported by it
to the Atlantic Ocean without breaking bulk, or any
notwithstanding to the shippers much time, and
bringing in prompt returns.
While the farmer of the far West is enjoying the
blessings of home, and quietly reposing under his
own roof he little knows how many locomotives
are putting nor how many thousands of wheels are
rolling, to convey his products to far off market.
The road was substantially buit,and is now solid
and trains regularly run. 1t is but seldom that
an accident happens upon this road. Its employees
are careful and experienced men every one ofwhom
takes deep interest in the safety and regularity of
| its trains.
The officers of the road are John W. Brooks Pres
ldent; R. N. Rice, General Superintendent; w. r.
Muir and j. D. Hays, Assistants; Thomas Frazer,
General Ticket Agent at Detroit, and II. E. Sargent
at Chicago; Henry G. Wentworth, General Passen'
ger Agent, at Chicago, and Julius Movius, Eastern
Agent at Buffalo.
These officers have been long in the railway bust
ness, are men ofexperience, and Of good business
capacities. The perfect clock-work regularity in
moving their trains show that efficient men are al
the helm. There is road better managed or SUI
perintended in the United States than the Michigan
Central Railway. Its vast wealth and increase Of
business is owing to the good management Of its
officers. The country through which it passes bear
witness to the great advantages it gives, and the
source of wealth it has been to the State of Mich
gan and the whole State now rejoices that the Mich
igan Central traverses the breadth of the State from
east to west, bringing untold blessing upon its PEG

liability Of Railways for Lost Baggage.


Mrs. Dorothy Rawson sued the Pennsyl-
vania Railway Company in New York city
for the loss of her trunks, containing cloth
ing and Jewelry. Her tickets were bought
at Massillon, Ohio. and contained the usual
exception against liability for loss beyond
800 except by special contract. The bag
gage was lost by fire at Thomaston, and
the railway company resisted the payment
OF the large amount claimed.
The court decided that railroad conpa,
ny may limit its liability as common car
rier by positive contract, the owner of the
goods or the passenger voluntarily, for a
valuable consideration, waving his right to
indemnity but they cannot do so by any
notice placed on ticket or elsewhere, even
where such notice is brought to the knowl-
edge of those whose person or whose proper
ty they may undertake to carry )" and Fl.
nally, that the kind and quality of the

Prom Missouri.


The following letter from Missouri to th
GAINESVILLE Gazette, by former resident 9
of this county, will be read with interes b,
many old neighbors and friends of Mr.. Ben
ham among our subscribers:
NEosHo Mo-, ian 81, 1866
EDITORS GAZETTE The frequent letters
of inquiry which we receive from our Wis
coDsin friends leads as to think they are
interested in the future of Missouri. We
know that knowledge of the facts il
regard to the climate, water, fruit and
general attractions of this southwest quar-
ter of the state would double the inmigra-
ton of energetic men of your section OF
the country, and when we lay before your
readers these interesting facts we believe
that we are not only doing service to
but to very many Of your read
ers, and in fact to all loyal men. 1t must
be gratifying to loyal men to know that
in Missouri the principles which they 80
much revere are triumphant, and the VIC
tory more complete every day.
We know that Chicago and other pa
pers are doing much to convey the inn
preston that Missouri is yet unsafe and
that we sleep upon a political volcano,
which may burst out at any moment
When the Governor of the State called
,ut the militia to clean out two or three
.ebeIious counties that would not bring
to punishment, the telegraph
leralded the news that there was another
ebellion in Missouri Whereas, loyal
men here, vino know the circumstances,

reioiced that the result was to be the es-
tablishment of law and order upon firm
basis, and the future peace and safety OF
our noble state throughout her vast ex-
tent
To-day, our state is quiet and peaceable'
and rapidly filling up with an industrious
population from the north and east, who
will soon make it blossom as the rose.-
| think we do not misrepresent when we
say that we have more positive loyalty,
(Which Isl willing to make sacrifices foI
principle,) in Missouri, than you have in
Wisconsin. The change that has taken
place in the state since the fall of 1866,
is remarkable The disloyal element keeps
perfectly cool while the original Union
men join the ''new Corners from the north
and both work in harmony and shoulder
to shoulder. 1t is enough to say that nc
state can outstrip Missouri in her loyalty
and devotion to the government. In the
| November election, the vote stood in New.
ton County, 361 radical to "a conserva-
tives; in Jasper county, 261 radical to 8
conservatives; Mcdonald county, 122 rad
ical, to 3 conservatives, making our cor
ner of the state loyal to the core.
The population of Newton county has
increased from 1900 in September, 1866
to Is, 600 now We are filling up will

state in the Union is represented here
In our county of Newton, we have quite
large number of Wisconsin men, ant
bright prospects Of more. In one yea
from now the northern element will con
troll this part of the state.
In natural advantages we pride ourselves
and upon our climate. water, and fruit. -
In these we claim rare superiority owe

blowing. To day is pleasant May day
Allkinds of fruit, both small and large, ar
raised heae in abundance, or at gleast ca
