PoLIT1CAL.-Every candidate but
one on the Democratic State ticket
in South Carolina is an ex-Confederate
officer.
Most of the Southern elections are
to take place this month. In South
Carolina on the 18th, 18th and 10th
of April in Louisiana on the 18th,
and 18th; in Georgia from the 2Oth
to the 18th, and in North Carolina on
the Goth, 21st and 22d. Florida clio,
ses the list on the 4th, 9Th and 9th OF
May.
The town elections in Ohio and In.
diana have gone strongly Republican
Cleveland, which is 600 Republican
this year, was 400 Democratic last
year. The Republicans carried Day
ton, the home of Vallandigham, by 300
majority. Last fall the Copperheads
carried it by $50. The vote on the
Michigan Constitution was no test OF
party strngth, as nearly as many Re.
publicans voted against it as Demo
Gratis. In the local elections of the
State the Republicans held their own
and gained in many places.

WHAT IS IT ?-The past two springs
some fatal disease has attacked the
new mich COWS in this place. Last
year several of the best cows in the
village died soon after calving. Some
called it the milk fever; and the cause
of death was generally ascribed to
high feed, more particularly to feeding
corn meal. Last Saturday Mr.. Rus
sell Underwood lost a valuable cow
She gave birth to a calf early in the
morning, and was apparently as well
as ever two hours before she died.
This COW had no meal the past win
ter, and nothing but hay. This is
damaging to the corn meal theory, and
should put the farrierS to investiga-
ting the cause Of this sudden and sim
gularly fatal disease.-Caledonian.

ervoirs. The barn was connected
with the house by shed, and the
flames soon reached the house. There
was found to be quite a quantity of
water standing under the town hall,
and the engine got to work from that
point and finally put out the fire after
the fire had burned off. The upper
story of the house was pretty much
demolished. The fire originated from
barrel in which hams were being
smoked. The ham was well cured,
and we hope the example will cure

EAClIEMENI IN RANCE - AXIS;
April 13.-The La Liberte this morn
ing has another of series of editori-
al articles, calculated to allay the
general discomfort and uneasiness
which have been inspired by the re-
cent warlike preparations of tn e
French Government.
To give some idea Of the depth Of
the popular feeling, the writer says
the United States Legation at Paris
is overrun with Frenchmen who are
anxious to escape the military service
to which they are now liable under
the provisions Of the new army bill.
Knowing nothing of the American
naturalization laws, and having only
the lately concluded Prusso-American
treaty IN their minds, they are literal
ly besieging the United States repres-
entative for naturalization papers,
Of course the applicants in all cases
were refused, lacking the five years
actual residence in America as re-
quired by law.
TERRIBLE SITUATION.-The Farm
ing (Me.) Chronicle says that a few
days since a young man named Still
man Wyman went into the lower part
or Wyman's saw mill at Weld to start
some of the machinery, and while
slipping o belt upon the drum his
frOck was caught by the iron shaft,
which instantly drew him on and
around with great velocity, his feet
stirling against partition only sixteen
inches distant at every revolution
His brother above, hearing the noise,
shut the gate and stopped the machin-
cry as soon as possible, and on going
below, found Stillman attached to the
shaft by a twisted belt around his
body formed of his clothing. Except
ing this belt, all his clothing was
stripped off him. He was taken to
his brothers house almost insensible
His right ankle was dislocated, the
small bone in each leg broken near
the knee, and his. body and limbs
dreadfully bruised. That he came
out of this ride alive is almost mir
acle. At the time of the accident the
shaft was making nearly three hun
dred revolutions per minute. He
must have been carried around at
least two hundred and fifty times
He is reported doing well.
