Rahn-Farming In England.

On the first day of the current month
the new act regulating baby-farmlng IN
Great Britain went into effect. The
abuses under the Old system are too well
known to need attention, but according to
tho terms of the new act not more than
one infant under one year old is to he
nursed for hire unless the name OF the
nurse and the. number of her house is
registered by local authorities, who may
refuse to register or expunge the name OF
a. baby-farmer who neglects to provide
proper care, food, and attention for the IN
fants in her charge. Offences under the
act will be punished with lmprls oEment
not exec ediDg six months with or without
hard labor, OR fine OF TO WITH liability

The Recent Silver Discoveries near On
tOnaoOn.

The Ontonagon Miner says of the re-
cent silver discoveries in that vicinity !:
Capt. Beaser came down few DAYS
since from Iron River, where he has
been exploring on section 18, adjoin-
ing the silver vein. He sunk a shaft
on the course of the vein, till he got
down Z or 10 feet, when it caved in, so
that he has abandoned for this season
all attempts at further explorations, as
the weather is too 1nclement While
there he put IN some blasts in the sill
yer vein, and has brought down by far
the richest lot of vein matter and speci-
mems that have been seen. These
were taken out some fifteen inches
deeper than any that have been taken
out before; the rock is much frmer
and the silver heavier; no lead or native
copper is visible, SO that the doubters
have no chance to call it anything but
silver vein.
If the vein continues to hold out as
rich in silver in depth as these spec1-
mems would indicate, the discovery may
yet prove of more value than its most
sang1ine friends anticipate.

poems ever written on the month Of. .Novem-
Der, is the following gem by James G. Clark,
the poet-sihger.-N. Z. Reforne'.l -
The red sun gathers up his beams, E5g
To bid the withered earth farewell, 4
And voices from the swelling streams Z s+
Are ringing with the evening bell;
The cold lake sobs with restless grief, ra-zs
Where late tho water lilies grew i'd b
While Autumn fowl, and Autumn leaf, +s
Are sailing down the rivers blue.
Forsaken are the woodland shrines, -ia,Er.
The birds to warmer lands have fed, gat
And winds are wailing through the pines
A dirge for Summers glorious dead
E'en man forsakes his daily strife,
And muses. on the bright things flown,
AS if in Natures changing life
He saw the picture of his own.
l often think, at this sad hour,
As evening weeps her earliest tear,
And sunset guilds the naked bower,
And waves are breaking cold and clear,
Of that glad time, whose memory dwells
Like starlight DER life's cloudy weather.,
When side by side we roved the dells
Of dear New England's coast together.
Twas on old Plymouths rock famed shore,
One calm November night, with thee
watched the long light trembling DER
The pillows of the eastern sea
The weary Gay had-sunk to rest Tools
Beyond the lines of leafess wood, ns& e
And guardian clouds from south to west,
Arrayed IN hues OF crimson stood.
We climbed the hill of noble graves,
Where the stern patriarchs of the land 1#s
Seemed listening to the same grand waves
That freed them from tn oppressor's hand !;
We talked of spirits pure and kind, ..ees
With gentle forms and loving eyes,
OF happy homes we left behind
Invales beneath the western skies.
A few brief days-ard when the earth
Grew white around the Travellers feet,
And bright fires blazed on every hearth,
We parted never more to meet
Until go where thou art gone, -
From this dark world of death and blight,
And walk with thee above the sun 20 p .
That sank upon thy grave tonight.

Come stealing up the slope of Time;
They bear train of smiles and tears, T..
OF burning hopes and dreams sublime
But future years may never fling 600, ,E1Fs

Like those that come on sleepless wing
From memory's golden plain Of flowers
The morning breeze of long ago

Tanning the embers to glow,

JUSTICE AGNEw, of the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania, sitting at Pitts
burg, delivered a decision, last week,
IN which he declared that railroad
ticket imports upon It's face no right to
stop off, or, in other words, to take the
journey by stages. If such privilege
exists in connection with a ticket, the
Court declares, it is only by suffarance
of the railroad. ''To hold that the
passenger, says the Judge, "has a
right to stop off or get on at pleasure
will be i'll effect, to take the manage
ment of the road out of the company's
hands" -.-s

EPIHIPPIC DROPSY.
Secondary Stage of the Horse PIagu
in New York
Eror,

Secondary Stage of the Horse Plague
in New York.
From the New York Herald.
Ihefe has appeared in the large sta
bles OF the city a second phase of the
horse. disease relapse, tending to
dropsy, which in several instances has
proved fatal. This disease made it's an
pearance but a few days since, and it
seems to affect those animals that are
compelled to work in the first stages of
the epizooty, and this is a marked re-
buke to those who would not give them
rest. Inquiries were made in relation
to the matter at the Sixth and Third
avenue car stables, and at the Fifth av
enue stage Line, yesterday. At the first
named the Superintendent stated thew
had SIX cases with one death on Mon
day. The symptoms are a swelling of
the legs and belly. The horse that died
was swollen to an enormous size and
his limbs were so stiff that
he could not lie down, Just
before expiring he fell over. The treat
ment pursued is rubbing the swollen
parts with l1nlment, composed of cam
phor, hartshorn and sweet oil. The
ANS"% H.
posed OF corn and oats, two-thirds of
the latter to one of the former. At the
Fifth avenue stage stables the Super
lntendent admitted that therehad been
one or two fatal cases recently. but
would not enter into particulars. At
the third avenue stable the Superin-
tendent said that the horses were affect
ed just as old people are sometimes af-
ter a fever. They, have had six cases,
four of which were fatal. The heart or
lungs must be reached before there is
any danger. The horses are physicked,
but not rubbed with liniment. They
are "rowelled," that is, string is
drawn through the breast, producing a
sore, which draws away he infa nation
from the lungs. The dropsy seems to
have appeared very generally in the
stables throughout the citv.

A Farmer Journeys Seyenty-Five Miles
b From Home While Asleep.

William Lewis, farmer near Indian
apolis, was missed at home, with valise
and clothing, one morning recently,
and not until the close of the third day
were his whereabouts known. At that
time he returned and reported that on
the night of his disappearance he had
gone to his bed as usual, and was soon
asleep. He dreamed that he arose,
packed his valise, walked to Indian
apolis and took the eastern-bound cars.
His surprise on awakening and finding
hims elf seventy-fve miles from home,
can better be imagined than described.
The Indianapolis Sentinel, which re
lates this singular case of somnambu-
lism, says How he purchased his
ticket without his state being discov-
cred by the agent, and how he slum-
bered serenely through all the din and
noise of the Union depot, are among
the troublesome things fellow never
can find ont.

ROcilefOrt'S Ma rrIage.

A Paris correspondent of the London
Globe, describing the marriage on
Thursday, Nov. 7, of M. Rochefort
writes: " Rochefort has been brought
to the Noisoe -dArret, of Versailles.
on Monday night, and thence his mar
rlage procession started yesterday
morning. It consisted of one large
hired carriage, conveying the bride
groom and three police agents, dressed
in plain clothes. It left the prison at
very early hour, andhad for an escort
very strong guard of 9uordieres de
la 2ods1, who also surrounded in force
the M0is0n de S0,ate. attached to the
convent Of Augustines. Here, on the
second story, was No. 3, a little room
Opening, as all such do in places of con-
finement, from great public corridor,
and in this was lady, the bride. AS the
poor paralyzed woman could not, of
course, be- moved to the naire, or to
church, for either civil or a religious
ceremony, M. Rameau, the maoire, had
come to her bedside. The marriage
instrument was read by him, while NJ.
Rochefort stnod by the bride, holding
her hand. Ii was then signed by both,
although the effort drew from her cry
of pain, and was witnessed by Francois
Victor Hugo, Ernest Blum, Jean De
Strein, and the eloquent barrister, Al
bert Jolly This was sufficient to give
legal validity to the marriage, and status
to the children, but Mile. Renaud, as the
/ P0poeJ states half apologeticallv, had
begged for a religious ceremony also,
and Rochefort could not refuse the re-
quest, which will probably be her last.
The blessing of the church was there
fore bestowed on the pair by the Able
F'olleu, chaplain of prisons. After this
M. and Nine. Rochefort were released
from surveillance for a short half hour,
and left absolutely alone. At the ex-
piration Of this time they parted, and
at II o'clock of their bridal morning
their welded life ended forever. The
bridegroom, with the same precaution,
was conducted back to lis temporary
prison, his conductors, by the rapid
pace at which they took the carriage,
appearing to grudge the favor shown,
and last night he was carried in pris-
oners' van to his place of permanent
confinement in the Isle de Re.
