FoREsT, O., Nov. 9, 1869.
EDITOR JEFF.:-By request of q
friend, | have undertaken to write
something for your paper; but, as l
am not an experienced writer, and as
local items of importance are rather
scarce in this community at present,
perhaps what I have to say will not
be of special interest to your readers
but, if they have learned "not to de
spise the day of small things they
may possibly worry through it AS
our town is scarcely ever mentioned
in the papers, it may not be out OF
place to give it passing notice here.
Our population numbers from three
to four hundred. We have two dry
goods stores, one drug store, one hard
ware aud tin store, four provision
stores, one harness shop. two shoeIshops,
both of which are doing a splendid
business; two blacksmith shops in op-
Grafton, and connected with the latter
will be wagon and carriage factory.
The brick work on L. Cooks new
store house, corner Lima and Patter
son streets, is nearly completed. 1t
presents fnc appearance, and, will.
when finished, be an ornament to our
village.
The excitement occasioned by the
meteoric demonstration on the NIGHT
of the 9th of last month, and which
was the subject Of general remark, has
gradually died away, and we now hear
but little said about it, save by the
inquiring few who are desirous OF
learning something Of the nature and
cause OF this strange phenomenon.
From statements furnished by Mr..
Eckhardt, of your place and Mr. Pier
son, of Patterson, our Postmaster has
calculated the hight OF the meteor,
at the time of the explosion, at not
less than forty two miles The correct
ness of the above calculation, of course
depends on the accuracy Of the state
ments on which it was made.
If this article is not "weighed in
the balance. and found wanting" you
may hear from me again.

CAREY, O., Nov. l, 1869.
ED. JEFF.:-Since cur last, nothing
has transpired that would be very In
teresting to your readers. Our town
is still rapidly improving. When wa
consider the good health, the good
community, and the great amount ol
business done here, We think Carey
Is one of the most pleasant towns in
the State. Wewould be glad to wei.
come within our limits all good peo
pie who are wishing O new and pleas,

The members of the Temperance
Alliance met Monday evening at the
NJ. Z. Church. An address was de
livered By Rev. Powers. The attend
ance was not as large as was desired,
owing, we suppose, to the unpleasant
weather. We always take pleasure
in speaking of this Society, rs we
hope it will accomplish much good.
We hope our citizens will all work
with zeal, and not let work so well
commenced prove failure.
On Saturday we had pleasant ride
to Upper Sandusky. We passed on
the way some of the most beautiful
farms we have seen for long time,
on many of which we're fine dwellings.
We visited number of the business
houses in the town, and found large
amount Of business done IN oil. We
aIsovisited the school building, where
the teachers examination was held
Here we found about thirty teachers
undergoing examination We obser-
we'd that the Examiners were quite
rigid in their examination, and that
some of the teachers looked quite de-
spairing We would say to such :
"Work and improve; and then you
need not iC@r such trials. If you
can't do this, better quit the service" "
We cbseiyv,i also that the High
School room Ii, which the examina-
ton was held vas much out OF repair,
and as teachers and pupils who occu-
py such rooms, have our sympathies,
we hope that our friends OF Upper
Sandusky will build new school
house, or repair the old with new fur
niture.
We are informed that the schools,
which are under the supervision OF
Mr., Frey, are progressing finely.
Our own schools are still increasing
in interest. The High School last
week had an attendance OF 81 per
cent: the Grammar School had an
attendance of 80 per cent. The other
departments had 80 per cent.

full control of the Empire State.
THE Cincinnati School Board, by
a vote Of twenty-five to fifteen, has
decided to exclude the Bible from
the public schools of that city. The
Board is composed of sixteen Pro
testants, ten Catholics, uine Free
thinkers and two Jews. Three Pro-
testants, all of the Catholics, eight
freethinkers and one Jew, voted for
exclusion. The solitary Jew, and
the eight Freethinkers, are simply
consistent in endeavoTing to rid the
schools of book which they hold TO
be false in its teachings. And We
are not so much surprised to zee
Catholics seek by this measure to
bring our common schools in dis
repute, since it is well known that
adherents- of the Catholic faith have
no sympathy with the common
school system, and this they fondly
believe to be the entering wedge
which is to shatter the entire system
to fragments. But we are surprised
that Protestants are found who are
willing to take such step. 1t is no
excuse that they did 1t out Of regard
for the opinions of the minority, for
it was q conclusion that the minority
had no right TO demand. We can
not regard this action as aught but a
backward step, and we much mis-
take the people Of Cincinnati if they
do not administer a prompt rebuke
to these gentlemen, who so evidently
misrepresent the public sentiment oi
their city.

THE New York Herald says that
Gen. Thomas is the only man who
can at all compete with Grant in
the Presidential contest Of 1872.
The Herald says "Gen. Thomas war
record is scarcely less distinguished
than that of Gen. Grant," which fact,
if there were no other, would be suf-
ficient reason for his refusing to be
a cats paw for the Democracy. Our
Ohio Democrats, however, cannot be
caught with such bait. They have
a feeble recollection of one Rose
Grams, and cannot think of military
candidate save with feelings of dis
gust.

The Treatment Of Sick Animals.

The crying evil of the agriculture of
this country is, that we have no good sys-
tenn of veterinary instruction. Except in
the large cities, and, indeed, in most of
those, 1t Is impossible to find well.educa-
ted veterinary surgeon. Throughout the
whole length and breadth of the land, our
poor dumb brutes, condemned to suffer
from diseases generally brought about by
our own carelessness or neglect, are
obliged to bear the still greater suffering
OF the barbarous treatment of common
farriers and quacks, who know almost
nothing of the organization Of their
bodies. As natural consequence, violent
purgings, frightful blood-letting, blisters,
and tirings, are applied without thought
and without reason, entailing untold ago
ny to the animal, and generally much loss
to its owner. Of course, when an animal
is sick, any farmer who is ignorant of what
should be done ought to secure the best
advice within his reach. But he should
always retain 80 much control over the
treatment as to avoid resort to barbar-
GUS remedies, unless the unskilled practi-
toner can convince him that there is good
reason for 1t: for, as a general rule, an
animal left to the unguided curative pro.
cesses of nature would come better out of
its troubles than if subjected to the oper-
alton OF brutal means for the restoration
of its health. With animals, as with men,
there is far too much medicine giving,
blistering, and bleeding; and probably
more are killed or permanently Injured by
these practices than are cured by them.
OF course, in some desperate cases, they
are necessary, but they should always be
resorted to with caution, and with much
hesitation. In all minor diseases which
result almost invariably from bad air, bad
food, filth, and neglect, the wisest treat
ment is the removal Of the cause, and the
restoration of those simple, natural condi-
tions upon which the return, no less than
the maintenance, of health is based. The
purging ball may often be with advantage
supplanted by lcosening diet, bleeding;
almost invariably by such diet and by
pure air. Warm clothing and thorough
grooming will usually do the work of the
blister, and do it much better. In all cases
of strains, bruises, and wounds, water is
an almost sovereign remedy; and in nine
tenths of the cases in which it is thought
necessary TO send for the local COW doctor
or horse doctor, the simple treatment
above indicated will be found not only
cheaper, but far better in it's application
and IN its etfects-Americdn AgrScul.

How to Avoid Wet Cellars.

An excess of water or too much damn.
meas arises in some instances from surface
water, and in others from spring veins
that crop out in the cellar. In many
instances, when the excavation is being
made for cellar in heavy, springy ground
water-veins are cut off two or three feet
below the surface of the ground. When
such is the case that water in those veins
will be discharged behind the cellar wall
will settle down and pass along the surface
ofthe cellar bottom. Sometimes, however
the veins of water are not reached until
the excavation is about completed. Then,
when the water-veins, which pass through
the earth like the blood-Veins of living
animal, are filed with water, the bottom
OF the cellar will often be covered with
water, even when a good under drain
has been provided to convey it away as
soon as 1t has accumulated in sufficient
quantities TO flow out through the under
drain ........
Now for the remedy. The correct way
to avoid wet cellar is to lay tile drain
entirely around the outside of the excavs-
tion, nearly foot lower than the bottom of
the cellar, before the foundation walls are
laid. But after an edifce has already been
erected, and water appears ON the cellar
bottom, the most satisfactory way to rer-
der the bottom dry is to sink channel
nearly foot deep entirely around the
cellar close to the wall, and lay course
of drain tiles in the bottom, which will cut
oil all water veins and render the cellar
satisfactorily dry, by conducting the water
into the tiles before IL can work along TO.
ward the middle of the cellar. .--NdRig'dc-
