The Crops-The long continued wet
weather, ten days, has created great
apprehension in the minds of some of
our farmers in regard to the wheat crop,
though from franklin, Freedom aud
Manchester Districts we learn that it
has not been injured very much. Corn
and oats are growing finely, and grass
will soon be ready to cut. The prospect
for very large yield of fruit is very
promising.

SeVering a Nerve.

A CONTRIBUTOR of Hours at Home, Civ
ing an account of surgical operation of
which he was the subject, tells us how it
feels to have a knife slashing through
nerves and muscle:
The doctor continues rapidly deepening

five inches long and two or three inches
deep at the very first cut of his scalpel
AS he cuts he continues his clinical lee.
ture, and explains why feel so little pain.
He says that the "nerves of sensation are
most closely distributed all over the body,
and that therefore the skin is the most
sensitive part. In cases like this, when
once the skin is cut through the patient
feels little pain from the deeper cuts OF
the knife. This is one reason why good
surgeon always makes long slash, or a
free incision," at the very first touch of
his instrument, that the pain may be as
much as possible over at once, and that
there may be no mt cessity for any after
hacking and haggling. A clean cut heals
very kindly, and an inch or two OF
it more or less is generally of not much
matter. Once get through the out en-
velope of the body, and the patient, while
you are cutting through the subiacent tis-
sues, feels little or no pain except when
What What I! What is this? r..
A sensation as if a gallon OF melted lead
had been poured into my wound, and in
stantly permeated every artery and nerve
in all my body as if were stung by a
million bees at once as if every drop of
blood in me had been transformed into an
aching tooth as il all my nails bad been
dragged Oft with blacksmith's pincers, and
my finger tips dipped in liquid scaling

luxury of having dentist file u tooth

by twenty-five thousand and eleven, and

leaves each fieshy particle of my body

How to Examine Horses Eyes.

For the purpose of examining the eyes,
the horse ought to be led into room
which admits very little or, better, no light
at all, on three sides, and is open on the
fourth one in the most cases a stable, barn,
etc, The main door opened and jail others
closed, will answer the purpose. We have
to lead the horse with his head toward the
light, so that by advancing or backing him
we can let fall into his eyes Just as much
or as little light as we please, and thereby
observe the expansion and contraction of
the pupils, and as we have at the same time
his eyes sufficiently illuminated, we are
able to look into the interior of the eye.
ball. In an open space, where the light
comes from more than one side, this is i'm
possible a4 a,s-
Toavoid mistakes, we have to examine
all the different points of the eye singly
and collectively, and strictly to compare
them with the corresponding parts of the
other side, commencing with the auxil-
lary organs. OF course, a clear sky ia.
ciitates such an examination; a cloudy
sky sometimes makes it difficult, and fog.
gy weather, rain or SHOWS storm, or tWi-
light renders it impossible.
= Glittering or white objects being lust
opposite and reflected in the eyes to be
examined, or the approaching of persons
with white dresses, white hats, glittering
buttons, etc, to the horse should not be
allowed, for sometimes tits rather difficult
to discriminate such reflections from
white or Opaque specks in the crystalline
lens, or its capsule. We must, also, be
careful in examining eyes, when the
ground is covered with snow, or when
white-painted houses, fences, ETC., win.
dows with white curtains, or windows
etc, rejecting the light, are Just opposite.
Brides with blinkers should be taken off,
as they prevent close examination.
If the above rules are complied with,
nobody. who has a correct eye and little
talent for observation, will fail to detect
even the slightest defects.-COr. Chicago
Tribune.

A FIOridian Rip Van Wrinkle.


WHILE David CLARK, ESQ, of this city,
was in Jacksonville, Fla, during his re-
cent winter sojourn in that land Of orange
groves, there came into town one fine
morning in February planter from the
back country, having with him negro
whom he wanted to sell. He said he
wanted to raise little cash, and SO he
brought "the boy" along to sell, and
wanted to get about thousand dollars for
him. He was utterly unaware that there
had been a war, and that slavery had been
abolished, and when told that such Was
the case, thought that his informsnts were
playing joke on him, and for awhile re-
fused to believe it. His plantation was in
the interior, his nearest neighbor was fifty
miles distant, and in all the years that
have elapsed since Sumter's gun, he had
not heard from the outer world, knew
nothing of the changes that had taken
place, and came into Jacksonville in this
year OF our Lord, 1870, in good faith to
sell slave, Other negroes speedily in
formed their fellow that he was free
