Kentucky promises ere long that our
bellies shall not Lave to send to India for
cashmere shawls. The Aa%ora goat is now
successfully bred in this country; and of
the three thousand or four thousand wool
bearing goats of the best breeds, Kentucky
claims the largest share. Neither France
nor England has been SO successful as
America in acclimatizing this valuable ami
NAL. Kentucky especially is already pro
ducing superb worsted stuff from the An

The Corn Crop in the southern half of
this county is generally burned up, being
on many farms entirely destroyed, while in
the northern parts the crop is very fine, the
blades and stalks being green and flourish

We have seldom seen finer corn than is to
be met with in that part Of the county
watered by the Octoraro and its tributaries,
and bordering on the Susquehanna.

New Building Association.-Th solid,
enterprising men of Port Deposit have or
ganizcd q new Building Association and
will elect permanent officers on Tuesday
evening, 18th of September. The new Or
ganization has features somewhat different
from any of the Building Associations at
present established in this county, as will
be seen by reference to their advertisement
in to-day's Wig. One new feature, and a
very important one, is, the society propose
to erect houses where members desire it,
and thus insure the speedy completion of 4
residence, at once placing the borrowing
member in possession Of home and ena-
bling him TIC give a mortgage to the Asso-
citation, which, without this aid, he might
not be able TO do We think this plan is
decidedly the best for men of small means
desiring to secure permanent homes.

1t costs a good deal of money to be well

but the average price-list of the various
stages is about as follows For ensmelline
the face to last once or twice, from $40 tc
SIS; for enamelling face and bust tenn
porarily, from $15 to $40; for enamelline
the face to endure one or two weeks, from
$15to $25: for renamelling the face and bust
to last about the same period, from $25 tC
$35; for permanently (this is for si2
months) keeping the face in well-en
amelled condition, from 5000 to $3.50 ant
for keeping the face and bust both in tn,

Cure for the Bite Of Mad Dogs

We have had several opportunities to
fully test the chloride of zinc, in solution,
10 such cases, and, so far as we are aware,
we were the first to use this agent. II
may be said thas if the persons who has
been bitten by dogs and had been sub.
jected TO its use did not have hydro
phobia, the dogs were not "mad." Under
circumstances itmight be difficult TO prove
this proposition, but we do not propose to
enter into an argument upon the subject
but TO make a plain statement of facts.
In one case, where three men were bitten
by the same dog, at thessame time, we
subjected two to the use of the zinc. They
are both living at the present time, al
though this occurred several years since
while the third man who was not treated
in this way, died, of hydrophobia on the
fourteenth day, In another case gen
gentleman, as well as a COW and horse
were bitten at the same time by rabid
dog. We treated the man with the zinc
he still lives; while the COW and horst
both died within fifteen days. We NIGH
give many other cases illustrative of th,
efficacy Of this treatment, but we consider
this sufficient. The method we employ 4
as follows; Make a saturated solution 0
chloride of zinc, and as soon as possible al
ter the injury inject this into any or all tn
wounds made by the teeth Of the animal
let it be done with small syringe AM
with sufficient force to bring the solution
in contact with every portion of th
punctured or abraded tissue. This shoult
be repeated the second day, after whicl
apply the water dressing until all tn
parts which have been subjected to tn
zinc slough out Then the wound shoul
be allowed to heal under the ordinar
dressing, which will be effected, if there ha
not been much laceration Of the parts, 1
from ten to fifteen days. AS an interns
remedy we use the carbonate of ammoni,
ten grains to the half pint Of water, thi
| quantity to be taken daily for twenty day
The longest time which had elapsed froI
the time the person was bitten until tn
above means were used was four hour
yet we are of the opinion that this woul
sntidote the poison even ten or tiftee
hours after the injury, for the reason thI
the zinc in any form when brought
contact with an abfaded tissue will q
upon parts quite remote from the part i
jured, and viii, if taken up by the a
sorbents, antidote the poison which ms
! have permeated the whole system mar

Sad Accident.


THE Russian papers record adistressing
accident which recently took place near
Dorpat. Wolves had appeared in unusual
numbers, A hunter determined to kill
some Of them, hoping To frighten away
the band. A horse died during the day.
He purchased the body and placed it in
the edgeof the woods, to draw the wolves.
The night was dark. Armed with several
rifles, he took his stand under a covert at
nightfall. He had not been long at his
post when he saw something black NOV.
ing actively on the horses carcass. Sure
it was q wolf, he aimed and fired. In
stantly he heard despairing Shrek, evi-
IDENTIFY from a human being, which gave
him the greatest uneasiness. he went up
and found poor woman mortally wound
ed and in deaths agony. She told him
she was the mother OF three children dy-
ing Of hunger she had observed the car
oass during the day, but was ashamed to
be seen taking portion Of It, so she wait
ed till nightfall to cut piece Of It for bel
starving children. She had a kitchen knife
and lying by her was q stew pan she had
brought to receive the meat. t8sHls4,..
Her story was investigated, and found
to be true in every particular. The inYes
tigation led, moreover, to the discovery o
the existence Of great disttess among The
peasants of the neighbOrhood. The
neighboripg authorities az once took meas
ures for the support Of the three orphans
One Of them was given to the hunter, tn,
involuntary cause Of their mothers death
l'He undertook to bring II up, and launcl
it well in life The village undertook th,
care Of another. The authorities ORDERED
| the head Of the village to take charge Q
| the third, because he should have ascer
tained the distress Of the victim and he
family, and have prevented her by hi
charity, from being driven TO the crue
extremity which caused her death
