AcoRNs POISONOUS TO CATTLE.

A disease has broken out among
cattle, which the London Field be-
lieves to be caused by the animals
eating acorns. In 1868, many cattle
died in England of disease, the
immediate cause of which was the
consumption of acorns. Young
cattle were the principal victims, but
the older animals did not escape.
In some of the animals which
were examined after death, in the
autumn of 1868, the roof of the
mouth was found to be extensively
excoriated; the papille in the first
stomach (rumen, were blanched on
their apices, and cracked, as if they
had been exposed to the action of
some powerful corrosive; the leaves
of the third stomach (omasum)
were commonly much congested, and
in many cases hard masses of partly
digested aeorns were found between
them.
The present outbreak of the
''acorn disease happens under pre-
cisely similar conditions to those
which obtained in 1868 long
drouth, scanty crops of grass, and
an abundant supply of acorns, which
have been plentifully scattered over
the pastures by prevalent gales. In
1858, the first cases of disease were
detected at the end of September,
this year the affection appeared a
fortnight later, but in each instance
as soon as sufficient acorns had been
blown to cover the lands on which
the cattle were feeding.

MYSTERIOUS.

The Beaver argus says the wife
of George Timby of Vanport, left
her husband and family of five small
children, on the 14th inst, and her
whereabouts has not since been as
certained. Her husband is very
much distressed at her absence, and
would be thankful for any informa-
tion which might lead to her restor-
alton. The first night she left she
styed at neighboring house; on
the second night, she called on Rev.
Mr. Locke, of this borough, who
could not accommodate her with
lodging, but gave her a dollar, and
she went to the hotel of Mr.. John
son, in Rochester; and, on the fol-
lowing morning, took the New Cas-
tie train for Allegheny City. Since
that time, nothing has been heard
from her. Mrs. Timby was subject
to alterations of the mind; and has
left home for day or two at sew
eral different times heretofore.
Mrs. Timby is "a years of age,
small in stature, and weighs not
quite one hundred pounds. Her
hair is dark, and hangs down to her
neck; eyes, hazel and full. When
she left home she had on dark calico
dress, striped, and wore a Nubia on
her head.
Any person having any knowledge
of Mrs. Timby, will confer a very
great favor by sending word at once
to John II. Purvis, or George Tim
by, at Beaver, Pa.
Newspapers will confer favor on
the afflicted family by copying this
notice.

CURIOUS ADVENTURE.

The Louisiana Savings Bank is
building a large vault. Admission
to tits gained through large wrought
iron doors, to which are affixed pat
ent locks. These locks were put in
order by blacksmith named Tympe.
After arranging the fastenings on
the door he lit candle and proceed
ed inside the vault to see how they
fit. Closing the door after him the
eccentric catch of the lock fell, lock-
ing him in. Those upon the outside
could render no assistance, since it
was combination lock, and no one
knew the numbers at which it was
set. In this narrow cell, shut in by
the four walls of the vault and the
huge iron door, the man felt as if
he was buried alive. The only
means by which he could obtain air
or drink was through small hole
in the door, not the twentieth of an
inch in diameter. The atmosphere
of the cell-like place was fetid and
noisome, and the man felt as if he
would suffocate. Fortunately he
had carried with him into the vault
hammer and chisel, and with them,
the only instruments he had, he
proceeded tc,cut his way out. The
work was slow and tedious, and re-
quired two hours half of incessant
labor. He succeeded at last, how
ever, and was taken more dead than
alive from the vault. The wonder
is that he did not sufrocate.-N. O.
Pieayene. !

A CHANCE FOR BACHELORS.

The following matrimonial adver-
tisement appears in journal of
Rhenish Prussia:
The true female friend of Cath
olic lady who, from family circum-
stances, has remained unmarried up
to her thirty-sixth year, calls atten-
ton to the lady in question. She
combines with a handsome and
youthful personal appearance strong
and blooming health, and an admir-
ably cultivated mind and heart. She
belongs to very good family, and
possesses, besides, capital of Is
600 thalers. For the moment she is
without opportunities of forming
for herself a suitable acquaintance.
Gentlemen of answerable age and
character, possessed of secured
means of existence, great solidity
and high consideration, are there
fore invited to offer their hands in
reliance on the prospect of a happy
union. Belonging to the Catholic
confession is much wished for, but
is not made a condition. Photo

EXCELLENCE OF THE FARMERS LIFE

Agriculture corresponds to that
degree of exercise which is the best
preservative of health. 1t requires
no hurtful fatigue, ON one hand, nor
indulges, on the other, Incidence,
still more hurtful. During a throng
of work, the diligent farmer will
sometimes be early and late in the
field; but this is no hardship upon an
active spirit.
Agriculture is equally salutary to
the mind. In the management of a
farm, constant attention is required
to the soil, to the season, and to diff
ferent operations. A gentleman
thus occupied becomes daily made
active, and is daily gathering knowl-
edge; as his mind is never suffered
to languish, he is secure against the
disease of low spirits.
But what 1 chiefly insist on is,
that, laying aside irregular appetites
and ambitious views, agriculture is
of all occupations the most conson-
ant to our nature; and the most pro
ductive of contentment, the sweetest
sort Of happiness. In the first
place, it requires that moderate de-
gree of exercise, which corresponds
the most to the ordinary succession
of our perceptions. Fox hunting
produces a succession too rapid;
angling produces a succession too
slow. Agriculture corresponds not
only more to the ordinary succession
but has the following signal proper
ty, that a farmer can direct his
operations with that degree of
quickness and variety which is
agreeable to his own train of per-
ceptions.
The hopes and fears that attend
agriculture keep the mind always
awake in an enlivening degree of
agitation. Hope never approaches
certainty so near as to produce Sc
curity, nor is fear ever so great as
to create deep anxiety and distress.
Hence it is that gentleman farmer,
tolerably skillful, never tires of his
work, but is as keen the last mo-
ment as the first. Can any other
employment compare with farming
in that respect? No other occupa-
ton rivals agriculture in connecting
private interest with that of the pub
lie.
Every gentleman farmer must of
course be patriot; for patriotism,
like other virtues, is improved and
fortified by exercise. In fact, if
there be any remaining patriotism
in nation, it is found among that
class of men.

LEMON. PIE.

Take the juice and rind of one
lemon, one cup of sugar, the yolks
of three eggs, one teaspoonful of
butter and sufficient milk to fill the
plate; bake in a rich paste; beat the
whites of the three eggs to a stiff
froth, with two tablespoonfuls of
powdered sugar; spread over the pie
when a little cool, replace in the oven
and brown slightly. This makes a
most delicious pie.
