To CURE WEAK EYES IN HoRsEs.-I p Shell
by, of Fayette County, Kentucky, writes to the
Country Gentleman:
A short time since, l purchased valuable
mare, five years old, for saddle purposes, and
found, unfortunately for me- that her left eye was
very weak, and good judges pronounced that she
would lose it. There is Canadian Frenchman
residing in my family, by the name of Wilson,
who affirmed that he conld cure her. directed
him to try his skill, and he Immediately made mp
wash of alum and water, which he reduced to
about blood heat, and woud with guill blow
the liquid into the eye. After trying the above
preparation three times, he took piece Of alum
as large rs the end of ones finger, ant, burning it
in the fire, he reduced it to powder, and blew it
stoutly, by the same process, into her eye. So
far as we can judge. she can now see perfectly,
and the eye is apparently sound and well. It is
a valuable remedy.

BUFFALO ROBES are becoming scarce, and ART
mnch more expensive than formerly. With the
completion of our new lines of railroad, and con
sequent speedy settlement of that portion of the
interior of our continent, which is suitable fol
pasturage, they must soon disappear from our
general markets. 1t is not too carly to begin
providing substitutes. Good ones are made by
having hides of neat cattle tanned at the nearest
tannery-selecting hides of dark color, which are
literally supplied with hair. Horse hides can be
nsed, but are not equal to those from cattle
Sheep skins answer good purpose for use in dry
cold weather. Persons exposed to the bleak winds
-four praries in winter should always be supplied
with ample protection. Robes are much better
than blankets for this purpose.

which was poured into about pailfnl of soft
water, and when hot, the lard added. After
boiling thoroughly together for an hour or two,
it was set aside to cool. The lard was taken off
when nearly cold, and it was subsequently boiled
mp. The color was restored to an alabaster white
and the lard was as sweet as n rose.'

of fanatical excitement. The Guachos,

were urged TO the perpetration OF the

leaders, who had resolved to drive all
foreigners from the State The Guachos,

attacked the foreigners. The authori-
ties were apprised OF the disturbance,
and troops were Immediately sent TO
the scene, but a great many unfortunate
foreigners were killed by the Guachos
before the arrival of the troops. The
assailants were then attacked by the
military, who fired several volleys
among them with deadly effect. Many
prisoners were taken, including several
of the instigators, who will be executed.
The affair created great CONSERVATION
among the foreigners, who are now
assured of ample protection by the au-
thorities.

A serious strike is in progress among

workmen to make the shop Union

that If they can bring this great corpo-

The Convention having under Discus
sion the first section Of Article Third
Of the Constitution, relating to elections
which was reported by the committee
on Bill OF Rights and Elections precisely
as it stands in the present Constitution
since the adoption Of the Flick amend
ment, Mr.. Maslin, Of Hardy, offered a
substitute for the section inserting the
word white" as a qualification of voters
and requiring also the payment OF a
cspitation tax as an additional quallti'
cation.
A verv animated discussion ensued
and this morning Mr.. Mas!in with
drew the substitute.
Mr.. Travers, Of Jefferson, then pro
posed an amendment containing the
same qualifications as prerequisite to
voting, but the amendment was finally
rejected and the section adopted as 1t
was reported by the committee.
The method Of voting has been under
discussion to-day. and the respective
merits OF the ballot and the viva Voee
system have been fully debated. The
uiua voce plan will be rejected.
There is not much of interest in the
proceedings of the Legislature. Both
Houses are industriously engaged in
working up their business.
Charges Of over charge by the Public
Printer for work done for the State were
introduced in the House this morning,
preferred by a worthless fellow named
Merrill. There is nothing in the
charges whatever, and, if there were,
they would equally involve Mr.. Frew,

likely to be very extensive. OHIo.
