an account of the presentation of a cold.
headed cane 10 the Rev DR.. Nudge, the
clergymap of the place, and the description
of a patent hog-killing and sausage machine
that had just been put in operation Mt the
factory. Now, what made Dr. Nudge mad
was this The inconsiderate buccaneer
who made up the forms got the two locals
mixed up in frightful manner, and when
we went to press something like this was
the appalling result:
"Several of the Rev. DR.. MudCes friends
called to see him yesterday, and after n
brief conversation the unsuspectinp hog
was seized by the hind legs and Sid along
beam, until he reached the hot-watcr
tank. His friends explained the object of
their visit, and presented him with a very
handsome gold headed butcher who grab
bed him by the tail, swung him round, cut
his throat from ear to ear, and in less than
minute the carcass was in the water
Thereupon he came forward and said there
were times when the feelings overpowered
one, and for thai reason he would not at
tempt to do more than thank those around
him, for the manner in which 80 huge an
animal was cut into so many fragments
was simply astonishing. The Doctor con-
cluded his remarks, when the machine
seized him, and in less time than il takes
to write it the hog was cut into fragments
and worked up into delicious sausage. The
occasion will long be remembered by the
Doctors friends as one of the most delight
ful of their lives. The best pieces can be
obtained for fifteen cents a pound and we
are sure that those who have sat 30 long
under his ministry will rejoice that he has
been sO handsomely iron tnl ,,
Mad ? Well, about nine O'Clock that
morning the office had been abandoned by
every man but the advertising clerk, and
he assembled to the roof and robed himself
in boiler iron, so that he could watch the
venerable clergyman tearing round down
there in the street with his congregation,
all wearing the panoply of war and carry
ing butcher knives and things. The next
day we explained and apolOgized, but the
Doctor stopped his subscription and began
to take the rival paper.
WORLDS FAIR.-Amcrican. should re-
membcr that Vienna is to have a worlds
fair in 1878. At the Paris exhibition of
1867 nearly everything sent from this coun-
try took prize, and there is no reason why
the same thing should not be repeated at
Vienna in 1873. The exhibition will I'M
doubtcdly be the largest that has ever vet
been seen. The park set apart for the ex-
hihiIiou contains four times as many square
Yards as have ever been similarly occupied,
and the principal building alone will have
a length of four thousand six hundred feet.
The committee having the matter in
charge wish to have full display Of the
raw materials and manufactured articles of
each nation, which statistical information
in reference to the amolnt produced and
4 l.a In .tnl .N, L.
made TO have the art collections as COM
petc as possible, and it is proposed to have
4 loan collection from all the German mu-
s"ums, similar to the celebrated one at
kensington. Another speciality will be
collection of articles used BY different ma
tinns in their domestic affairs, kitchen
utensils furniture, dress, ornamental OBJ
iects, in fact everything used about house.
AS the Austrian nation has never had an
exhibition of this character they will, un-
dOubtrdly work hard to make it success.
The opportunity ought not TO be neglected
by the manufacturers of this country.
BLOOD SPAWN IN UoRsEs.-W What is
the cause and cure for IL? A. At the extre-
mites of the tendons in a horses legs there
are little bags containing a mucus or oily
substance for the purpose of lubricating
the tendons and enabling them to slide
over each other without injurious friction.
Violent exercise sometimes causes inia-
nation and enlargement of these bags.
There is one Ofthem on the inside of the hook
which sometimes becomes enlarged, caus-
ing what is called bog SPAWN. The en-
largment of this bag presses on vein
which passes over it, inpedes the course of
the blood and causes blood-spavin. Blood
Spawn does not often occur, and 1t is gen.
orally compounded with bog-spavin. Ex-
cept when the horse is hard worked, block
SPAWN does not cause lamencss. The
safest and best remedy foT the disease is to
promote the absorption of the swelling by
iudicious bandagng and blistering.-

SPREADING MANURE.-We think it n
wrong practice when hauling out manure,
in the fall or winter, to place it in heaps.
Ii is better to spread it at once. In the
first place labor is saved. But most i'm
portant of all is the fact that most of the
manure is wasted when placed in heaps.
If spread at once it is more equally divided
than il can be afterwards. We once hauled
out manure 10 a he'd, leaving it in heaps
until the hauling was completed. During
this time some showers fell. The land was
sOwn to oats next sprns, and on the spots
where the heaps had been, the grain lodged
and was spoiled. The following crop was
wheat, and on those spots the wheat rustcd
and yielded nothing; while the growth of
straw was remarkable. We have never
since repeated the practice. Hearth and
