A rather curious piece of intelligence from
Central Asia relates to the out break Of a
mutiny at Chodshent. The cause Of this
emsute was no other than somewhat sum-
mary proceeding Of the authorities in en-
deavoring to protect people against the
ravages of smallpox, one Of the scourges
of the region. Accompanied by so many
Cossacks the government surgeons would
enter village after village, and pouncing
upon the inhabitants, man, oman or
child, where ever they might find them,
insert the beni6cent virus. At Chodshent
the terror which proceeded and followed
the medical cavalcade led to open resis-
tance. Fancying the enigmatical punotures
intended to mark those sought out for
transportation to Russia, the people rose
against the Cossacks, killed couple of
them, and also massacred one of their own
elders pressed into assisting at the hateful
ceremony. After this the rest can be i'm
agined. A Russian force having entered
the city two of the rioters were executed,
nine sent to the Siberian mines, ten banish-
ed to the North Pole, and several thousand
fined. OF those banished two were killed
by their escort before they were well over
the borders of Turkistan.--London Times.

Sickness Caused by Impure Water.

The Waynesboro Record states that the
steam engine and boiler works of Messrs.
Frick & Bowman, of that place, have been
partially suspended on account Of sickness.
Both members of the family were pros
trated with the typhoid fever and also
three of Mr.. Frick's sons. There were nine
cases of fever in the family in the last four
or five months and on Monday morning
Mr.. Bowman died in Lancaster, where he
was on a visit. The family physician made
an examination and is convinced that the
cause of the general sickness was the gases
arising from waste water sink affecting
the purity of the water in the cistern.

A Query.

Had the Greeley & Brown electors been
successful at the recent election, for whom
would they have cast there votes for Presi-
dent? They could not well vote for dead
man, and the election not being complete
no vice President would have been elected,
,who could serve as President. Here is a
case which proves that it is better for the
people to vote direct for President, or Vice
President, letting their action complete the
Election.

COMMUNICATED,
The Eanlne ScOurge.

The Equine ScOurge.
The farmers and country folks generally
appreciate the value of that noble animal
the horse, only when they are unable to
use him. His usefulness as propelling
power in the hands of all classes is appre-
ciated to-day, where his utility was never
looked upon before, only from a selfish
point of view. The idea of humanity to
this noblest Of all the brute creation, was
never thought of only when there was a
strong probability that we'd lose the use
of him altogether. The familiar remarks
of "good evening" and "good morning"
have been supplemented by chow is your
horse, "--"Got the EpizootP" 'Tis the
every day topic, of all classes and created
as much alarm in some neighborhoods as
the Small Pox, or the Cholera would have
done. 1t is certainly malarious and not
contagious, as some farmers have found
that their stock took the disease without
contact with infected horses, and without
having been within miles of the disease.
Horse statistics show that there are in
the United States, about $1,000, 900 horses,
representing monetary value of $685.
000,00 If but one per cent. of these should
be carried off, making 10000 horses, it
would entail direct money loss of SO, 60O,-
600, two per cent, or two deaths out of
every hundred, would bring loss of over
$13,000,000, and three per cent. which is
the mortality in some cities, swells the loss
to nearly $20,000,0OO.
This in addition to the heavy loss of the
daily earnings of the vast proportion of
the horses that are disabled and cannot
work. These figures may have their uses
in some quarters, not yet reached by the
disease.
Humanity should be the only stimulus
required in order to ensure the use of such
preventive measures, as better treatment,
less labor, cleaner stables; but the money
side of the question may reach some people
who seldom look at any other, under any
circumstances inlife.
IA[The proneness of the American news
paper man, to coin names for anything has
never developed itself to such an extent as
|
it has in this of the equine scourge. The
boys whistled "Shoo Fly" and "Capt.
Jinks" out of existence in year or two,
and then "Dolly Warden" was seized upon,
and served as cognomen for any thing,
and every thing.
Newspaper people have however got the
"Epizoot" to more fearful extent than
anything that has ever heard of and if the
word mongers and coiners of new phrases
don't soon cease, Webster's unabridged
will have to be remodeled, and enlarged,
once month at least.
To save people who are not the happy
possessors of a Webster, Walker or a
Worcester, we append few of the many
names that have been coined to designate
this strangest of all diseases, that ever af.
fected either the human family or the brute

took place on Friday evening last. For

considered exceedingly dangerous, and but
little hope was had of his recovery. The
cause of his death was inflammation of the

A Singular Accident.

Some time last summer one Coffin, a con-
tractor on the line of the New York and
Boston railroad, left several cans of nitro
glycerine on the railroad, about two miles
east of Yonl1ers. The cans were in wooden
boxes, with the necks projecting. Around
these cans was board fence, with notes
as eollowsl "Danger Danger II Danger!!
Let nothing tempt you to touch, or even go
near the contents of the inclosure. 1t is
nitroglycerine." John Donnelly, aged 49,;
William Terry, aged 81; Michael Callagee,
and George Hill, aged 49, went cunning.
Coming to the inclosure, Donnelly and
Terry get behind trees, while the others,
thinking, it is supposed, that they were at
safe distance, threw stones at the cans to
test the explosive power of their contents
As consequence, they were blown to
atoms. At last accounts not a remnant of
Hills body could be found, though frag-
ments of his clothes had lodged in the
neighboring trees, and only fragments of
Callagee's body had been recovered. Dom
nelly and Terry were badly mangled, but
the trees saved their lives. Terry will
probable lose the sight of one Of his eyes,
The windows Of coach-house In the neigh
borhood were shattered by the explosion.
Donnelly and Terry we're sent to st. Johns
Riverside Hospital. Great excitement pre-
walls at Yonkers, and Coffin is strongly
condemned for leaving glycerine where
even such folly as this could explode 1t.
tE A troublesome echo in new court
house at Bloomington, H., has been stilled
By stretching several small wires across the
room, at different heights. The sound
waves are thus broken up, and reyerbera-
tion prevented.

Disasters al Sea,

The steamer Baltic, which arrived at N.
York from Liverpool last week met
with a most severe gaSe, and had one of the
most eventfnl trips ever made by an ocean
steamer, having rescued nineteen lives in
mid-ocean, after having herself stood the
test of the most severe weather known for
years. The ship Assyria. from Quebec to
Plymouth, WAS met in sinking CON
dition, the flag of distress Gying and all the
crew in the rigging. There they had been
for more than two days, and there they
calmly awaited their fate. Upon the Baltic
coming into sight, preparations for rescue
were made without delay. Volunteers
were called for and two boats were sent to
the wreck, resulting in all the Assyria's
lives being saved, with the exception of
two sailors. On motion of Senator Sum
ner, committee was appointed to collect
funds as a testimonial TO the rescuing
party, a sum OF over ESQ was raised for that
purpose.
