Hog Cholera.

4 correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer gives his experience with
the hog cholera as follows:
About ten years ago the cholera
made its appearance in my neigh
borhood, and it made sad havoc
among the swine. l had about
thirty head of nice hogs that l ex-
pected to give up to its ravages,
if preventive could not be found.
I tried one experiment and sue
ceeded. Collect your cobs in a
pile and burn them until they are
thoroughly charred, then wet them
out. Sprinkle brine or salt on the
Goals and let your hogs eat all
they want. Farmers, try it, and
my word for it, your hogs will do
well. When fattening, give once
In two weeks; stock hogs once
a month. When yon want to
feed them cob coal, let them do
without salt for a few days over
their regular time, so that they will
eat more freely of the coal. Last
winterI neglected giving my hogs
cob coal, and the result was, in
the spring they took the cholera;
ton of them had If had I rakad
up the cobs in the lot and charred
them well, then sailed the coal
freely. They all ate of the coal
but three that were to far gone to
get up. They died; the rest got
well. I was surprised the next
morning to see in their discharges
a large amount of small white
worms. Ny belief is the worms
are what do the mischief.

A Warning to Those who
Use Ink.

A very particular case of sick
ness has recently been developed
in one of the members of the fam
lily residing at West End-a little
girl aged about fourteen years.
The child is a memHgr Of the First
intermediate School. and has been
in the habit of cleaning her pen
by sucking the ink from it, and
then swallowing the saliva thus
poisoned. And it has not been
an unfrequent thing for her to
take a bottle of ink and drink
from it as she would water. Ev-
ry remonstrance CT teachers and
parents was disregarded, until now
the poisonous fluid has permeated
her whole system, and created a
a disease which if it does not final
ly battle the best efforts of medical
men in this city, will require a
long seige of sickness and suffer.
ing.
The habit of cleaning pens with
the mouth is not an uncommon
one, and though the saliva may
be Immediately spit out, there yet
remains enough ink in it, if
the practice is confined, to gradu-
ally and surely pass over the sys-
TEN, and being poisonous, must do
harm. A word to the wise should
be suficient.-CSn. Chronicle.

For WOUNDS UPON A HORSE
A gentleman in this city who is

BASEs AND ANTIDoTEs.-The. banes
of domestic life are ittleness, falsity.
vulgarity, harshness, scolding, vocife.
ration, and issuing of superfuous pro
hibitions and orders, which are re.
garded as impertinent interierences
with tho general liberty and reposc,
and arc provocative Of ranking or
exploding resentmehts The blessed
antidotes that sweeten and enrich
domestic life are refinement, high
aims, great interests, soft voices, quiet
and gentle manners, magnanimous
tempers, forbearance from all unno.
cessary commands or dictation, and
general allowances of mutual freedom.
Love makes obedience lighter than
liberty. Man wears a noble allegi.
ance, not as a collar, but as a garland.
Tao Graces are never so lovely as
when seen waiting on the Virtues; /;
and where they dwell together they
make heavenly home. No affection
save friendship, has any sure eternity
In it. Friendship ought, therefore, to
be always cultivated in lovo itself, as
its only certain guard and preserva-
tive, not less than as the only sufficient
substitute in its absence. A couple
joined by love without friendship,
walk on gunpowder with torches in
their hands.
