Charles Mortimer was hanged Mt

negro some.weeks since, and soon after
the court had opened body OF negroes
numbering twenty or more rode into
the town, well armed and openly vowing

were made to their ranks
as the trial progressed, and the sheriff
deeming Unnecessary it swore in a posse

until 8 o'clock, when the trial not being
concluded the prisoners were escorted
to jail and are there guarded Tonight

morrow collision by some is expected,

Effects Of Tobacco.

The use OF tobacco has 80 much ex-
tended itself in the present generation
that We are all obliged to make decI.
sion for ourselves on the ancient con-
troversy between its friends and enemies
We cannot form Q reasonable opinion
about tobacco without bearing in mind
that it produces, according 10 circum-
stances, one Of two entirely ds,inc. and
even opposite classes ofeGects. In Ger
tain states Of the body il acts az stimu-
lalt, in other states Sc a narcotic.
People who have a dislike to smok-
ing affirm that il stupeli.s; but this
assertion, at least 60 far as The tempo
rary consequences are concerned. is not
supported by experience. Most Of the
really brilliant conversations that ]
have listened 10 have been accomps /.
MED by clouds Of tobacco smoke, and
a great deal OF the best literary CON.
position that is produced by coDtempo.
rary authors is wrought by men who
are actually smoking while they work.
Ny own experience is that very mod
crate smoking acts ~ pleasant stimu-
lus upon the brain, while it produces q
temporary lsssituds OF the muscu.
lar systsm, not preceptitle in times Of
rest, but an appreciable hinderance in
times OF muscular exertion. IL 10 bet
ter, therefore. for men who feel these
effects from tobacco TO avoid it when
they are in exercise, and TO use it only
when the body rests and the mind
labors. Pray remember, however, that
this is the experience OF sn exceedingly
moderate smoker, who has not yet got
himself into the general condition
Of body which is brought on by
q large indulgence in tobacco.
On the other Esnd, it 10 ev-
ident that men engaged in physical la
Dor fad s,imulant IN occasional smok.
ing. and not a temporary lsssitude. It
is probable that the effect varies with
individual cases, and is never precisely
what our experience would lead us 10
imagine. For excessiye smokers il sp-
pears 10 he little more Than the tran
QUILTING OF q sort Of unessiness, the
continual satisfaction OF o continual
craving. have never been able 10 a.
cestain that moderate smoking dimIn. .
ished intellectual force but have
observed in excessive smokers adecided
weakening OF the will and q preference
for talking about work to the effort Of
actual labor. The opinions Of medical
men on this subject are 90 much at va
rance that their science only adds TO
our uncertainty. One doctor tells me
that the most moderate smoking is un-
questionsbly injurious, while other,
affirm that it is innocent. Speaking
simply from sell observation. / fad thai
in my own case tea and coffee are fal
more perilous than totaeco.-Ffom d.

Hor weather has returned, and
makes appropriate the Injunction to all
in relation to the care Of horses. They
should not be over work ed; they should
be protected from the sun; they should
be supplied with water in limited guam
titles at frequent intervals; they should
be fed with sufficient and proper food.
In addition to these things cars should
not be crowded TO excess, nor too heavy
loads pied upon carte, drays and
wagons. In a word, horses should be
treated in such o manner as to make
them feel as few OF the disadvantages
OF the season as possible. This course
is politic as we'll as humane, for horses
that are well taken care Of in the sum-
mer will pay for the time expended in
such acts ten times in extra service and

A RECENT paper by DR.. Liebrelch
throws light upon the origin OF short
sight. He demonstrates that the two
evils Of permanent short-sight and cur'
vature OF the spine, both 60 much more
frequent among the educated than the
uneducated classes Of society, are deyel-
oped by the unnatural posture usually
enforced in schools. During childhood
the eve possesses q great power OF ac-
conmodsting itself TO distance, and il
in reading and writing the desks are 30
arranged that the eye, instead OF being
twelve to fifteen inches distant, ia kept
at seven o! eight inches from the book
or paper, the eye adsps itself TO the
near object, and permanent short sight
is the result. Moreover, as the predis-
position TO the disease ia hereditary,
abort sight is constantly on the increase
iu highly civilized countries.
