Suits AGAINST THE A. 4 f. r. w. Co.

Suits AGAINST THE A. 4 F. r. w. Co.
La speaking Of the verdicts rendered against
the Alexandria and Fredericksburg Railway
Company at the late term Of the Circuit Court
Tor this city, amounting i'll the aggregate to
about twenty thousand dollars the Fredericks-
burg Herald says :-"fhese suits were mainly
in-the interest Of the Engineer Corps that had
surveyed and located the road, during the Pc
Rod that the road and its franchises were under
the control Of Stewart l. Go. The charter and
It's franchises were purchased nearly two years
ago by what was understood as a branch OF the
Pennsylvania Central. This company has re-
sisted the payment of the claims against the
original company, which came down as a legacy
to the late purchasers. The company has It
self well hedged in having, we believe, built
the little stretch over which SO much palaver
has been had, under a mortgage, SO that we
really do not know, even now that Judgment
has been had, whether practically, the crcd-
tors are any nearer getting their money than
they were before the judgments were rem
dered. "
Cold WEATHER. The pleasant weather Of
yesterday has been succeeded by day, the
temperature of which would satisfy the warmest
admirrer of cold weather. Ice remained all
day in the cutters, and there were 'spits' OF
snow last night and early this morning, and
the tops of the cars in the train that arrived
here fro" Lynchburg ear j. this morning were
covered with snow--the passengers reporting
that it showed all the way from Lynchburg to
'Burkc's station Persons from Fort Washing
ton, this morning, report that it showed there
during the night.
CANAL NEws.-Owng to the freezing OF
the mud with which the Alexandria Canal has
been puddled at the late break near -Four Mile
Run, Mr.. Hunter now says that water will not
be let on until Tuesday next by which time
all the necessary repairs will have been com
plcted. The cold weather of to-day, however,
puts damper upon the hopes Ola resumption
of navigation this season. \ boat belong ing to
the Borden Company is reported sunk just
above Georgetown.

Gaues I'm Chickens.

W. B. Tegetmeier, a well.known Eng
lish writer on fowls, writes tho London
Field:
"The fatal disease caused by the pre-
sence Of the gape worm appears unusually
prevalent. l have had some in my own
runs, whore it has attacked come Sebright
bantame, but have found no difficulty in
curing it by means Of csrbolic acid, which
I frs, recommended for this purpose in
the Field of last year. So potent are the
fumes of this powerful remedy, and SO de-
structive IRE they to parasitic lite, that
their inhalation for even few moments
seems perfectly etfectual in destroying
the life Of the worm. 1t il not even nee
essary to employ u special apparatus; o
few drops Of carbo]ic acid may be placed
in spoon and held over the flame of a
candle until the vspor is seen to rise,
when the head Of the young chicken or
pheasant (hsld in the other HANDY may be
placed in tho vapor, which the animal j.
forced 80 enhale. Care must be taken
not to carry on the process until the fowl

that after exposure to the fumes fer few
seconds the bird may be regsrded!as cured
and may be seen running about quito well
on the following day; If not the treatmen,
should be repeated. The medicinal car.
bolic acid is preferable to the tarry liquid
used for disinfecting sewers and drsinf ,

The Glandorss

Chronic CHAMBERS are said not to be con.
tagious. A veterinarian in the Kansas
Farmer recommends the following treat.
ment:
To remove or neutralizc the poison, give
one-half TO- one ounce doses Of the sulphate
IF soda at night, in cut feed, for several
weeks, and i've grains Of the powdered
Spanish fly along with il, which will &C.
not only as a powerful tonic, but as an
agent whereby the product Of the disease
will DO removed from the body of the
animal by the kidneys. This treatment
will not interfere with tho other medicine,
which is-powdered gentian root, three
dr. rms !: powdered sulphate Of copper,
two drains; mix, and give the whole for u
dose, and give one dose morning and mid.
day. The horse must be we'll and highly
fed, and removed from other horses whilo
the treatment is going on. Change tho
feed often. Remember that glanders
associated with tubercles Of the lungs, can
not be cured.

HE NEW WORLDS GRAND REMEDY.
The Old World has played its part
in vegetable medication. But the b.
tany of the New World is, as yet, i'm
perfectly explored. One new and most
important revelation from that land of
wonders-C California has astonishcd
the scientific, and accomplished such
cures of the diseases of the stomach
and bowels, bilious complaints, malar-
ious fcvers, nervous affection, and all
diseases proceeding from q vitiated
condition of the blood, as have never
before been Witnessed.
Before WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
Buffers all the alcoholic and mineral
medicines are rapidly falling into dis
use. They cannot resist the overpow-
erlng evidence brought forward every
day, of the immense superiority of this
medicine. Not a drop of any variety
of distilled or fermented liquor or
mineral poison enters into it's compost
ton. 1t is a gentle aperient, tonic,
derived from entirely new vegetable
sources, an unrivalled stomachic, ad-
mirable in all pulmonary diseases;
and, in fact, as near to universal rem.
edy as botanical discovery and scienti-
tic skill can hope to attain. DR.. Wal
ker considers it cure for all diseases
not organic, and really the great var
iety of diseases in which it is successful
seems to warrant the opinion. Every
family needs such remedy. 1t saves
pain, anxiety and doctors bills. We
know what trouble it is to keep the
bowels of children in order, and any
remedy that will strengthen and regu-
latc their weak and variable digestion
must be domestic blessing.

Loss Of q Continent.

Plato sent down to posterity tradition
of his day that a great continent which
occupied the place now covered by the
Atlantic Ocean suddenly sunk down out
of sight. He further says it was an island
called Atlantis. On it were kingdoms and
organized governments, wealth, arts and
civilization, instantly lost to human sight.
1t is now the opinion Of the leading PC.
logists-those most advanced in SCIENCE
that the American continent appeared
when the Atlantic waters rushed into the
enormous cavity or depression on the
earsh's surface now filed by salt water.
The Rocky Mountains were then the rough
bottom of an ocean which rose with marine
plants, shells, and other products of an
aquatic origin, that are found abundantly
strewn there, and, in fact, all over North
and South America. Remnants of Atlantir,
the submerged continent, are believed by
Some scientists to be recognized in the
Adirondacks, the White Mountains Of
Maine, and few other outcroppings be
longing to the outer boundaries Of that
deluged and forever lost country. There
is no knowing what astounding discoveries
may yet be made in coming ages corro-
borative Of P]ato's narration.

shelter for Swine.

From careful observation for several
years, We are fully persuaded that tho
hog cholera was first caused and is still
continued by improper feed, bad water,
and inadequate shelter.
We are also persuaded that the com.
mon practice Of keeping young hogs
through the winter ESPECIALLY in large

fruitful cause Of disease, and although it
may not prove fatal Immediately, ye. it so

tho animal to all that swine flesh is heir

From ths period when surgeons applied their
sslves to weapons instead Of wounds to the present
wide awake age, tho medical profession has often
unwittng1y taken side with Disease in it, conflicts
with the human system. Even yet, in spite Of the
teachings Of centuries Of experience, some physi-
clans believe in delleting their patients, already
seriously exhausted by sickness, with powerful
evacuants, emetics, savants, cauthsrdal plasters,
or the lancet. But, providentiall7, public inteli-
gence is ahead Of these medical fossils, Who belong,
Of right to the Of the Crusadesl That powerful
ally Of nature in it, warfare with the causes Of sick
ness, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, has opened the
eyes Of the masses to the paramount importance Of
increasing the vital strength of the body when
menaccd by disease. They understand that when
the atmospheric conditions are adverse to health
as, for example, in damp, chilly or severely cold
weather-it IL wise to reinforce the system with 4
wholesome tonic and stimulant, and thus enable it
to combat and rcpal the depressing influence of an
inclement temperature. II the constitutional and
animal powers were always thus recruited In the
presence Of danger, the mortality from consump-
ton, bronchitis, chronic rheumatism, &C., would
be much less than it now is. The causes which
produce groups, colds, quinsey, diptheria and e.
tarrh seldom affect strong and active vital system
and Of all vitalizing preparations, Hoetetters Bit
tiers has proved the most efficient. It 10 not clained
that this standard tonic is specific for lining and
throat maladies - it is for dyspepsia, liver COM
plants and intermittents but it is unhesitattngy
asserted that it Is the best known safeguard against
all the atmospheric elements Of disease.

Such a filthy and nrofusa nasal ii

SUcH filthy and profuse nasal dis
charge! Where does it all come from? The
little glands in the tissues lining the cham
bers Of the nose are liberated and diseased,
drawing from the system its corruption. It
is an outlet for impurities. Stop this dis
charge by using the many strong liquids,
snuffs and inhalents, and you make an outlet
in the lungs or elsewhere. The disease is
translated to another locality more fatal. The
rational way to cure il to correct tue system
cry, which tones it up, ceanses the blood and
heals the diseased glands by a specific influ-
ence upon them, and to assist, use DR.. Sago's
