A HINDoo SroRY.-A tiger, prowling in the
forest, was attracted by a bleating calf. 1t
proved to be bait, and the tiger found himself
trapped in spring cage. There he lay for two
days, when brahmn happened to pass that
way. 80 Brahmin!' piteousy cried the beast,
mare mercy on me, let me out of this cage"
"Ah! but you will cat me-" EAT you'll De
your my benelactor? Never could be guilty
OF such a decd" responded the tiger. arhe
hrahm;n, being benevolently inclined, was moved
by these entreaties, and opened the door of the
cage. The tiger walked up to him, waved his
tal and said: "Brahmn, prepare to die; | shall
now eat YOU" "Oh? how ungratcCul, how
wicked! Am | not your savior? protested the
trembling priest. True, said the tiger, Every
true; but it is the custom of my race to cat a
man when we can get the chance, and
cannot afford to let You 60" "Let
us submit the case to an arbitrator" replied
the brahmin. Here comes fox. The fox is
wise; let us abide by his judgment" every
well, replied the tiger. The fox, assuming a
Judicial aspect, sat on his launches with all the
dignity he could mus ter, and looking at the dis
putantS, he said: Good friends, | am some
what confused by the different account which
you give OF this matter; my mind is not clear
enough to render equitable judgment; but if
you Will be good enough to act the whole trans
action before my eyes, | shall attain unto more
definite conception OF the case. Do you, Mr..
Tiger, show me just how you approached and
entered the cage; and then you, Mr.. Brahmin,
show me how you liberated him; and shall
be able TO render proper decision" They as
Sented, for the fox was solemn and oracuar.
The tiger walked into the cage. the spring door
fell and shut him in. He was prisoner. The
Judicial expression faded from the toX's coun-
tenance, and turning to the brahmin, he said;
Nov you are safe, you silly brahmin, advise
you TO 20 home as fast as you can, aud abstain
in future from doing favors to raScaly tigers,
Good morning, brahmin; good morning.

TIE HORSE EPIDEmc.-Eighteen thousand sick
horses in New Yorlz-S0OO in Brookyn-8OOO in
Jersey City-boats and produce upon the canals at
a standstill-men carting merchandise through our
cties-street railroads and omnibuses unable to
mOye-the government stopping the importation of
horses from Canada-are part of the evidences of
the terror and loss already casoned by this ter
rible disease, and its raYages to have just
menced.
The immediate treatment of the disease, both to
restore horses already afflicted and to prevent
others from taking it, is what every one desires to
know.
While the air is surcharged with this endemic
malaria, animals must not be overworked. They
must be fed soft foOd-like bran-mash carrots and
sailed hay-not allowed to drink coldiwater-
be well blanketed, kept warm and have plenty of
clean bedding. Those which are sick, in addition
to the above, should be given warm faX-seed tea,
muriate of ammonia, and belladonna or acOnite,
and sweet spirits of nitre-the noStrils and eyes
kept clean with a soft sponge well rinsed in warm
water, and the windplpe throat, chest, belly and
legs bathed and wrapped in some penetrating emol-
lent And for this nothing seems SO well adapted
as Centaur Imminent. This article is very penetrat
ng-is quickly absorbed by the system, and appears
to act alike upon the glands, muscles and lungs. 1t
is certain preventive, and superior to opOdedoc,
turpentine or capsicum. Well horses, treated as
above, will not take the disease in either of its three
forms catarrhal rheumatic and gastro.erysipea-
tous-all termed epi=ootic Influenza Unless some
thing be immediately and effectively done to avert
this terrible malady, the national industries will be
paralyzed, and financial panic ensue.
Lamson, Glazier s. Co. will sell household fur
niture at auction for NJ. j. Kennen, No. lis Main
street, this forenoon at 10 O'Clock.
Kendall BaDister will sell a farm and lot of
personal property in Lancaster, this afternoon at
O'Clock. See advertisement
