HoEsE DisrEllPEIL-The best mode to
treat horse distemper is to feed plenty
Of bran mashes, and poultico the throat
with bran or turuips, and as soon as the
swelling begins to soften, II it does not
break. It should be opened with q knife.
Also smoke tlc nostris with old boot
leather, in kettle or tia, once day,
which helps to loosen the discharge from
those parts. Do not get him wet or ex-
posed to cold, aud he will certainly

offer the Club the plan Of preserving
sweet.coru in Winter which we have fol-
lowed very successfully in our family for
several years. We take the corn right
from the hill and remove some Of the
husks, but not all, aud put II ia the
stove-oycn, aud leave it there from go
to3O minutes. Then take ii out, take
OF the rest Of the husks, and with two
tined fork strip the corn from the cob,
put on dishes and return TO the oven to
dry. This is the Indian method, only
instead of the oven they use hot stones
and burn the corn until cooked, and
then dry in the sun.

Living on SOcInble Terms Win Tigers.

Colonel Gorden Cumming, in his work
on ovid Men and Wild Beasts" tells
the following amusing auecedote
"Whilo sitting at breakfast, we were
alarmed by hearing cries Of distress pro.
ceeding from the Jagheerder's hut, aud
on running out to ascertain the cause,
we found old Kamah in furious state
OF excitement, his left hand firmly fixed
in the woolly pate of the hopeful scion
of his house, and belnboring linn sound
~ with n stout bamboo. We inquired
what crime young Moideen had been
guilty Of, to bring upon him such storm
Of parental Indignation, and learned to
our establishment, that ii WINS all owing
to his having killed n tiger ! One Of his
fathers tame bntIalocs having been kill
ed by tiger ON the previous day, the
young savage had watched for him dur.
ing the night, and shot him from a tree
when he returned to feed upon the car.
cass This, most people would have con-
sidered very gallant aid meritorious
exploit on the part Of lad Of fifteen,
but the old forester was Of a different
opinion.
at was all very well, he said for
us who lived in tue open country to
wage war With tigers, but with him, who
lived on sociable terms with them in the
jungle, the case was different, | have no
quarrel with tigers I never injured.
one Of them. they never injured me, and
while there was peace between us, went
"mong them without fear Of danger
But now that this young rascal has pick.
ed quarrel and commenced hostilities,
there is no saying where the feud will
end.

The srate Convention.

The republicans of Massachusetts,, in their
stale convention, to-day, will probably do their
work more quietly and rapidly than was posi-
BILE last year. Gov. Washburn will be renomi-
mated without serious opposition, and, perhaps,
by reclamation. He has discharged the duties
of his Office in that able and irreproachable
manner which was expected by those who knew
him best, and won universal respect. The
strength, purity, and integrity of his character,
have made his administration successful. The
wisdom, ability and sound Judgment shown in
conducting his administration, will now be aided
by experience, and the interests Of the
commonwealth will be served in very impor-
tant way, by his reelection. Most of the old
state ticket will probably be renominated.
We hear no mention of new candidates for
any of the offices, excepting the Office of lieu
tenant governor. For this office, the leading
candidates will be Col E. B. Stoddard, of this
city, and Mr.. Thomas Talbot, of Billerica. Col.
Stoddard appears to us peculiarly qualified for
the Office He is courteous, capable, and famil-
lar with business at the state house; and he has
one advantage over all competitors, namely: if
nominated and elected, he will be transferred
directly from the council to the office of lieu
tenant governor That is to say, he will become
president Of the council with complete knowl-
edge of the condition of its business. This, GER
tainly, is an important consideration, if the
highest usefulness in office is desired. We don t
know how the matter stands among the dele
gates; but he will be strongly supported, and
we hope TO see him nominated.
