TIE STRONG FAMILY.
\ GENEALOGICAL CURIOSITY.

The '.History Of the Strong Fam
ily,",- has just been publised by
Joel Munsell, Of Albany. Its au-
thor, the Rev. Benjamin W.
Dwight, Of Clinton, N. Y, already
known as q writer and genealogiss,
has devoted four years Of his life,
and given from twelve to fifteen
hours Of each day to what has ev-
identity been q labor Of love. The
result is before US, in the shape of
two huge octavos. each containing
about eight hundred pages. and in
which are enrolled the names OF
| n early twenty nine thousand Of the
descendants of Elder John Strong
and those allied to them BY mar
riage.
The said Elder John, q staunch
Puritan, sailed. it appears, from
Plymouth. England, in the good
ship Mary and John, on the Goth
March, 1880. accompanied by one
hundred and forty fellow pilgrims,
among whom were several clergy
men. He landed at Nantasket
I(Hull), Mass, and after short
sojourns at Dorchester, bingham,
Taunton and Windsor, finally es-
tablished himself at Northampton,
in that State, where he lived for
forty years, prosperous man of
busin ess and doughty pillar oil
the church, as his title implies.
He was one Of the Grst and most
active founders Of that town, and
from him are descended, with bu,
two exceptions, all bearing the
name among us. If the sum total
of the Strong family foots up pref.

thoroughbred only when his entire
blood was traceable to animals of ac-
knowledged purity of breeding, whose
pedigrees were recorded in the British
Stud Book. To that opinion we still
adhere; but there are others who claim
that the seventh consecutive cross from
thoroughbred stock produces thor
oughbred. That is, Conestoga
or Norman, or Mustang mare
being bred to thorough
bred stallion, the produce being FLY,
she in turn being bred to a thorough
bred stallion, and SO continued
breeding the grade female produce
from thoroughbred stallions-the sew
enth generation will be absolutely
thoroughbred. To this we object, and
insist that an infusion of Conestoga CT
Norman or Mustang blood positively
established as having been made at
any point in the chain, vitiates the title
to thoroughbred breeding. In cases
where seven successive thoroughbred
crosses are proven and nothing further
can be ascertained, we do not object to
the 20rina0 .fidcie case thus made out,
and would be willing TO admit such
animals to contests prescribed for thor
oughbreds, and to Stud book registry,
giving such the benefit of a doubt

well known engineer, Monsieur Bande-
moulin, considered for moment and
then burst out laughing saying, "the
little rogue is right after all" He was
asked many other questions, and acquit-
ted himself to the surprise of all pres
ent. AS an inmate, he was great trial
to the jealous young schoolmaster. He
lived in perpetual feud with the other
scholars, swore at them in the most
satanic fashion, and attacked them not
only with his fists but with his knife.
and appropriated everything he took a
fancy to.
To vary the montony of his exist
ence in his new school life, Mr.. Jacoby
took Henri walking tours, to exhibit
his calculating powers, at the neigh
boring colleges and schools Vendome,
Blois, Orleans, Anglers, and many other
towns were scenes of triumph for
Henri, whose acuteness and readiness
surprised the most practiced mathe-
matician of the day. Paris was the
scene of his greatest renown. Arago,
Chaterubriand, George Sand, Alfred
de Vigny, and many others, received
him with enthusiasm. He was feted,
caressed, wondered at Some consid-
cred him the image of Duguesclin,
others the very portrait of Chatterton
Verses were written about him; his
portrait was taken by the artists of the
day; he created quite furOre, and

sake of his genius. He was nine

ton destroyed the fruits of his solitary
musings. He became confused and
puzzled by arbitrary rules and laws,
and after some years subsidized into his
normal position of country clown,
almost entirely deserted by the strange
gift which had thrown so fascinating
and mysterious a charm around his
childhood.
To the student his character sug-
gests many interesting reflections, both
Of a physiological and psychological
nature. He was of a highly nervous
temperament, and when a problem
was proposed to him, he trembled all
over, as if wrestling with the difficulty,
until it was surmounted. He calcu-
lated ceaselessly, in playing, in walk
ing, even in fighting with his compan-
ions Capable of the deepest emotions,
which he evinced strongly when going
through course of religious instruct
ion with Mr.: Jacoby, he was yet habit
ually passiye and distracted His
memory for names and places never
improved, and he was unable to iden-
tify either persons or towns he had Wis

mems exhibited by the untaught math-

occurred recently in prominent family

no disease of any tissue, that could
cause alarm, and no one could have pre-

the nervous powers; physicians have
to bear this in mind and direct their

MOZART once made bet with Haydn
that he would write a piece of music
the latter could not play. The wager
was accepted and Mozart sat down and
scrubbed melody on a slip of blank
paper, and Haydn began to read it at
sight. In the middle of the tune there
was note to be struck in the centre o
the piano, while the right and left hand
was continued tremolo movement.
Haydn could not strike the middle note,
his hands being occupied, and dehed
Mozart to accomplish the feat. So Mo-
TART went to work, and on coming to
the difficult passage struck the middle
note with his nose. Haydn's nasal pro-
tuberance was too fat and dumpy to
produce the desired effect, so he lost
the wager

The celebrated Emma mine is look

of ore ready to ship, is working sixty
men and will double it's force in the
course of two weeks. The Emma is
under the superintendence of j. z.

The Flagstaff mine is under the man
agement of DR.. Wing, and a more eff
Gent gentleman could not be found.
He is working twenty-slx men, has 500
tons of ore on the dump ready to ship,
and will double his forces next week
This mine bids fair to rival the Emma.
The Montezuma mine, higher up the
hill, is largely owned and under the
control of Colonel E. A Wall. He has
an incline 2S5 feet and most of the way
through solid ore Their mine, so far
as developed, shows to be one of the
most valuable in the district The
Colonel proposes to largely increase
his force IN the course 0f ten days
The Savage mine, adjoining the
Montezuma, is also largely owned and
under the control of Col. Wall Tt has
an incline 1875 feet, and u shaft from
the bottom of the incline IS feet, prov
ing it also to be one of the valuable
mines of the district.
On line with the Savage IS the HI

ing good ore.
Come down the hill and we strike
the Caledonia mine, owned and CON
troled by John Cunnington, of the Ell
ephant Store. 1t has an incline three
hundred feet, and fine ore has been
struck
Further to the west, and on line
with the Emma and Flagstaff, we find
the Relief mine. Work was common
ced on the mine last week 1t shows
a very large body of ore, and is one of
the best defined lodges in the district,
the ore on the top showing some
eighteen feet wide, but going down it
has narrowed to ten feet and isnow well
defined between two castings, and the
ore is much richer than on the top.

How We Used to be Physicized.
Who does not remember the time when spring
purgation considered indispensable to summer
health No matter for wry faces, the inevitable
salts and SIENNA, rhubarb, calomel and jalap,
must be administered. These "spring medicines, !"
the youngsters were told, were to keep them hale
and hearty during the summer. We all know now
that this faaey that new vigor, not depletion,
is what is required at the commencement of the
summer solstice. As preparation for the eneryat-
ing effects of oppressive summer weather, course
of Hostetters Stomach Bitters is highly expedien.
This famous vegetable preparation has three prom-
nent properties 1t renovates, purifies, and regu-
laes all the functions of the body 1t is composed
exclusively of pure vegetable productions, viz: the
most eficacious tonic and Alternative roots, barIs
and gums known to medical botausts. Hence, it is
an absolutely safe medicine, and tincture of the
PhramacOpCeia compare with 1t either in purity
or in the variety of its objects, and its comprehen
sive results. Happily for mankind the theory that
it was necessary to PROSTATE patient in order to
cure him. is forever exploded, and the true philo-
sophical doctrine that vgor is the great antagonist
of disease, has taken its place. Hostetters Bters
is an inYigorant and hence it is the proper nedi-
cine for the feeble at this most trying of the
year.
Be sure that you obtain the genuine article, as
there are innumerabe vile limitations in the market
Look to the ornamental stamp, the engraved label,
