"A fire occurred at Findlay, Ohio. COM
mencing about half past three o'clock 5of
the morning, of the 25th ult., An ice
house and two stables were destroyed, A
thrilling incident of the fire is thus related
by "a, correspondent of the Cineinnatti
Go,nsaerciaE:l In one of the buildings
three kegs of powder were stored; when
the fact, became known the crowd began
to run but not so with a young man
named Harry Erb. who seeing that unless
the powder was removed from the burning
structure a.terrible loss of life and proper
ty would result, spraDg forward and cried,
..sStand back there is powder IN here,
and I am going to fight it out" rushed
into the buruing building. 9 For he was
lost from sight, but in moment reap
peared, bearing in his arms two kegs OF
powder, which we're soon in a place of
safety. but the. third still remained? But
Erb did, not count he cost. Again telling
the crowd to stand back, he pushed hisway
into the flaming mass.-As he passed
throdyi the building the flames we're feapi
ing and Kissing all round dense masses of
hot, black smoke almost blinded him. but
nothing stayed his purpose. Before he
had reached the object Of his search the
keg had caught fire, yet without seeming
to notice his terrible danger, he picked up
the powder. and carried it from the build

Ansscer.-The pig, us we'll us other
domestic animals, suffers from intestinal
worms, among which we find the rscnrides.
tsenia, and echinorhy yncbus more frequent
than others cf the worm species. When
present in large numbers they produce
emaciation. weakness of the loins. aud
rigidity of the hind oxtrcmities. Among
the symptoms Indicating the presence Of
of worms in hogs, we 6l,d tho feces be-
coming hard aud dry. the skin tense, eyos
sunken. and tho visible mucous lnembranes
are palld. Debility increases, and tho
animals finally die from exhaustion. In
the morning, and until feeding time, tho
pigs grunt and cry out incessantly, aud
have even a tendency to bite each other.
Treatment consists, in the early stage, in
the administration Of couple of croton
beans in food. If by the purgation the
parasites are not removed. sulphur may
be given freely. In strong pig two
drachms of turpentine may be given iIl
four ounces of linseed oil and htt.c
Cruel but great care must be exercised
MOTTO kill the pig in administering draughts.
Besides this--and the treatm mt Is appi.
cable to all sorts Of worms--the plgs
should have sour food, or brine of herrings
mixed ir the food sourcrout, mdish, un-
ripe fruit, cucumber, celery tops, onions.
and especially acorns Wood ashes should
occasionally be mixed amongst the food.
Hogs should have access toaclcar aud fresh

water should especially be avoided.

A MAN who Could Set the Paciflc
Ocean ON Eirc--How He was
~ >e Murdered and why il
Was Necessary. - =,

70 Some time ago man named Gregory
Summerfeld, was murdered by being
pushed from the platform of a car of the
Union Pacific Railroad at Cape Horn, and
falling down thousand feet on, to the
rocks below. Summer6eld was a man OF
extraordinary literary and scientific at
tainments, and was always known before
his death as s.the man with a secret
The person on the platform with him
when he was thrust down the precipicc
was Leonidas Parker, Sacramento law
yer of talent and excellent reputation. He
was twice tried for murder and each time
mysteriousiy acquitted. Recently he died
but left behind him an explanation of the
whole transaction. A short time before
Summerfeld's death, he came into Par
ker's Office, that being his FIRST appearance
in Sacramento for number of years, and
told him he had fathomed the mighty Sc
cret of making water burn by means of a
preparation of potassium, which would
separate the PARTICLES and ignite the liber-
atcd oxygen, thus creating and recreating
its, own force; and proceeding until all
the particles were destroyed.
u
manded 81 1,OOO,006 to be raised in San
Francisco, or he would set the Pacific
Ocean on fire, and let the world take the
consequences. Parker thought himself
dealing with lunatic, and treated the
matter disdainfally, but offered to try one
of his potassium pills in a wash bowl Of
water, which skipped and hissed around as
it always does and seemed about to expire
when sharp explosion took place and to
his surprise, the liquid blazed in lurid
flames to the ceiling until every drop was
consumed. Deeming this worth consider
ing he impaired the discovery, with Sum-
merGeld's condition. to a leading banker,
a-bishop, a chemist, two divines, and two
State University Professors, who, with
himself witnessed the experiment on a
grand scale in "a mountain ten miles from
San francisco. In fifteen minutes every
drop of water in the pool was consumed.
and the committee became alarmed, while
| Summer6eld became important. Only a
half million could be raised at San Fran
cisco, and something must be done Oh. the
Pacific would roll bllews of flame instead
of water. 1t was proposed to attempt
subscriptions in New, York, when the
bishop rose and said. that all was ehilds
play that nothing would satisfy the wretch
and that determination was under the
circumstances justi6able, All coincided,
and Parker. who knew the windings and
gorges of the Pacific road, was selected as
humauity's avenging angel. In the con
clusion of his document he. says: l selec-
ted Cape Horn as best adapted to the pur-
pose, and y the public knows
tho rest. Having been fully acquitted
by two tribunals of the law, i make thi:
final appeal to my fellow-mep. throughout
this State, and ask them confidently not to

Ncthing to Do.


When you hear man assert that he
can find nothing to do. you can safely con-
clude that he was born tired and is deyot-
inc his lifetime to rest. Times are hard,
and money is scarce, yet a man who is
determined to get along in the world can
find enough to do. We have a class OF
street loafers who are very, particular
about what kind of work. they do. If it
is not hard work it matters not how disre-
putable it is, they are ready to engage in
it.. but if on the other hand. it requires
the exercise Of muscle, they refuse to do
it, and sit around on dry goods boxes com
planning that they can find nothing to
do..'' Watch the man who is ashamed to
work. He may not be a thief, yet if you
would start out to hunt thief you would
not look among the men who occupy your
work shops. fla mans hands we're blis-
tered by earnest toll you would pass him
by, and direct your attention to the man
who can find nothing to do They are
the pests of society, polluting everything
they touch. They tester the vices, and
render desolate the hearthston e, God
pity the woman who is SO unfortunate as
to link her destiny to man who can find
nothing to do She had better conilnit
