cate, and was put through a course
of cold water treatment by the
Good Templars a few evenings
since. This, he affirms, is thcir In.
itiation ceremony:
In the first plauco, the victim for
initiation is blindfolded, bound
hand and foot and put into a cider
press for five minutes. This is
done for the purpose of clearing
his system of old drunks. He is
then taken out of the cider press
and by means of force pump
'gorged with cistern water, after
which a.scaling plaster is put over
his mouth and he is rolled in q
barrel four or FIVE times across
the room, the choir at tho same
time singing a cold water song.
He is now taken out of the barrel
and hung up by the heels till the
waterlruns out through his ears;
He is then cut down and bcauti-
full young lady hands him a glass
of cistern waters A cold water
bath is then furnished him, after
which he is showercd with eistern

to eat a peck of snow, while the
brothers stick his ears full of lei

BIG AND PECULIAR FISH.

The great lake called Khiuha, in
Manshu-Tartary, country recently col
onized by the Russians under the title
of Manchusia, and which was the orig
inal birthplace of the actual reignlng
dynasty in China, abounds in fish, the
most peculiar and characteristic OF
which is the Iluam-yu, unknown IN
Europe, We are indebted for know[
edge Of its existence to the Roman
Catholic missionary, De lu bfahiere,
who was killed by the Gilayacks on his
arrival at the mouth of the Amur. He
tells us that he has seen them OF one
thousand pounds, and had heard OF
others weighing from eighteen hundred
to two thousand pounds white, tender,
and entirely cartilaginous, with the ex-
ception of three small bones in the
neck. 1t has lips formed like those OF
shark, the upper protruding much
over the lower Like the shark, it turns
itself TO saize its prey or bite the hook,
and, like it, swims slowly and plHmsily:
The cartilage and bones are the most
esteemed portion Of the fish, and sell at
Lansin, on the Sunsarn, for one and a
half taels of silver per pound. The
mandarins annually lay in supply for
the empcror's table" 1t appears from
the description here given to be one OF

Silurus glanis of European rivers, o.

after by the Romans, of the cat fish OF

HAIR-WASHES.

1t is only right to refer to source of
possible disease which is peculiarly wide
spread just now, and against which the
public should be cautioned. At the pres
ent time there is quite a rage for the use of
hair washes or "restorers, which,
whilst the charge of their being edges " is
Indignantly repudiated, yet in a short time
"restore y the color of the hair. The ac-
tive agent in these washes is, of course,
lead. In the majority of cases, probably,
a moderate Use of such lotion would be
unattended with mischief; but it is worth
remembering that palsy has been known to
be produced by the long continued use of
cosmetics containing lead. But of the
thousands of persons who are now applying
lead to their scalps, there will doubtless be
some with an extreme susceptibility to the
poison, and these will certainly run no in
considerable risk Of finding the "restora-
ton - of their hair attended by loss of power
in their wristS.-Lancet.

SALE OF AN OLD HOMESTEAD.

The West Chester REPUBLICAN con-
tains the following in relation to the sale
of the old jackson Homestead" in
Londongrove township, Chester county.
Quite number of the descendants of
the original Jackson family reside in the
Southern part of this county:
Charles Dingee and Everard Conrad,
assignccs of Isaac Jackson, lately de-
ceased sold at public sale, on Saturday,
Dist of Nov 1868, the old jackson
Farm" containing 1874 acres, in Lon
dongrovc township, for 81 5000 per acre.
The property was purchased for Mr..
Evcrard Conrad, whose wife was
member of the Jackson family; and
although Mr. Conrad was one of the
asst ences, no objection will be urged to
the purchase.
1t is somewhat remarkable fact
that this farm has been in the posses
sion of the jackson family for Il couple
of centuries, and on Saturday, the 21st,
for the first time since the earth was
void" the auctionccr's hammer fell upon
it. The property was settled upon by
/ Mr. Isaac jackson, more than two hun
drcd years ago, and afterwards pur-
chased bv him from a London Company.
Chester county at that time was little
else than ono vast wilderness. The
present mansion house stands upon the
same grounds occupied by the first log
cabin erected upon the premises, and
has in it to-day, much of the old, anti
quatcd furniture brought with the fam
lily when they turned their backs upon
the fathcrland" One Of the early
members of the family was clock
maker, and clock constructed by him
over 100 years ago, occupies place in
the old mansion, is in good order, and
an excellent time-piccc. Generation
after generation has been born, grown
old, and gathered to its fathers under
the measured strokes of this old time
piece, but still it ticks on as steadily
and unwcariedly as upon the first day
it passed from the makers hands An
old desk, coeval with the venerable
clock, stands by its side. 1t contains
the marriage certificates of the family
for four generations, and the only deed
ever, as yet, made for the property.

A SEA MONSTER.
Description eta Sea Serpent, Killed at East
port, Maine.

The strange animal killed near East
port, Maine, was on exhibition in that
city, recently:
This animal, part fish and part
beast, is over thirty feet in length, and
girts twenty-one feet 1t has one enor-
nous dorsal fin, two side belly fins, and
a broad, shark-Iikc tail. About one
third of its length forms its tail, in con-
ncction with small fins, it has two huge
legs, terminating in web feet. Its mouth
makes line of five or six feet in length,
the whole extent of which is set with
innumerable small teeth, very much re-
scmbling in size and shape the kernel
of a species Of short pointed popcorn.
1t has series of gills which overlap
each other like the flounces once the
style of ladies' dresses. His iinmnIse
body, which was estimated to have
weighed when captured about eleven
tons, has no frame work of bones, its
most solid portion consisting of cartilage
incapable of preservation. It's skin is
dark and tough, like that of the Gle-
DIduJ anu EulUOCcEOS. mere Is no
record of his species, and to none is it a
greater wonder than to naturalists
whose attention has been drawn to it.
Among others who have had an oppor-
tsli.ity Of seeing it, is Prof Baird, oft the
Smithsonian Institute, OF Washing tGn,
who is yet unable to place it in the
known list eff the animal kingdom
When first discovered it was swimming
along lcisurcly, and when pursued took
to the land, and when captured was q
hundred and twenty feet above high
water mark. Numerous shots were
fred at it, but none took effect until the
gun was loaded with small spikes, which
took effect, striking just above the main
fore fin. On analyzing the stomach it
contained nothing but vegetable matter,
which leads to the conclusion that it
subsistcd upon vegetables o., ii!h bot
tom of the ocean and shore.

THE FUTURE OF HARPER'S FERRY.

In the House of Representatives, ON
the 10th inst, Mr. Garfield, of Ohio,
reported Senate bill authorizing the sale
of the lands and tencmcnts belonging
to the United States at Harpcr's Ferry,
which was passed. There is probably
no position in the whole country which
commands superior water power for
manufacturing purposes, while, at the
same time, its geographical position
and railroad connections existing and
in prospect confer upon it peculiar adj
vantagcs to become great scat OF man
ufactures. The scenery at this point is
spoken of by Mr.. Jefferson as perhaps
the most singularly picturesque in
America. 1t is situated at the junction
of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers,
seventy-ninc miles west of Baltimore
fifty seven from Washington and thirty
from Winchester, with which it is con-
nected by railroad The name of the
place was originally Shenandoah Falls,
its present name being derived from a
ferry established long time ago across
the Potomac, where the river breaks
through the Blue Ridge, at which place
it is about one thousand two hundred
feet in height. 1t is at this grand gate
way of the beautiful Valley of Virginia.
and amidst what Mr. Jefferson terms
monuments of a war between rivers
and mountains which must have shaken
the earth itself to its centre" that one
of the largest manufacturing centres in
America may vet spring up, if capital
and enterprise are employed to avail of
the extraordinary combination of natural
and artificial advantages which Harpcr's
Ferry presents to that end.
With the great railroad through the
valley accomplished, Harpcr's Ferry
may become a second Lowell. BY the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad it is already
connected with the cities of the central
and Northern Atlantic scaboard, as
we'll as the great West. This valley
road is to run through the Valley of
Virginia, crossing the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad in'Augusta county thereby
making connection with eastern and
West Virginia; crossing James river
canal and feeder in Botetourt and Rock
bridge counties, and tapping the Nir-
ginia and Tennessee road nearly in the
centre, at Salem, Roanoke county, about
seventy miles west of Lynchburg. BY
this connection, and others which are
contemplated with the whole system of
southwestern and southern railroads,
the cotton from the South and South
west can be brought there and manu-
featured, drawing large manufacture
ing population, and by divcrsifying in a
very important manner the industry of
Virginia, will add greatly to the wealth
and prosperity of that State, and espc-
cially all the adjacent country in both
Maryland and Virginia.-BALT. Sun.

STEAM ON. STREET RAILROADS.
Western newspapers report what seems
to be an important experiment in the
use of steam engines for propcling cars
on street railroads a small double
cylinder engine is used, of fiftccn-horse
power The car is somewhat larger
than those in common use The frepot
is arranged on the sclffceding base
burning plan, which is so successful in
stoves and furnaces The machinery is
concealed under the car. The boiler is
placed on the forward end of the car.
The motive power is said to be under
such perfect command that car has
been stopped within three inches of
given point, without Earring; and the
engine can drag its load up heavy
grade The cost of running is but
seventy cents per day. The matter de-
serves the attention of horse railroad
companies generally, as possible
means not only of saving expense, but
of serving the public better than they
can do with horses.
