Spring In tho clsarings.

In newIy-c1eared regions Of country, spring is
an unhealthy season. Tho virgin soil, en-
riched by ~decomposeo vegetable matter, sends up,
when first bared to the sunshine, volumes of MAS
matte yapor that generates every variety of inter
mittent and remittent fever. All low-laying,
swampy districts, the deltas Of rivers, the prairies,
the salt-marshes on the coast, the bayous Of the
Gulf States. and the shores Of the Northern lakes,

easily be prevented. No fact in medical history is
better established than the fact that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters will avert every species of mala-
rious disorder. A course of this standard tonic
and Alternative commenced in advance of the un-
healthy season, and continued regularly until its
close, will prove an absolute protection against
chills and fever, bilious remittent fever, and other
complaints of a periodical type, as well as against
the disturbances in the digestive organs and bow

tism, melancholy, hysteria, and ailments to which
the weaker sex are exclusively subject, Hostetter's
Bitters has no competitor at home or abroad.

Contasion.

N. Kletzinsky, noticing that persons
sick with smallpox were often visited by
flies, placed near an open window of the
hospital a saucer filed with ~glycerine.
The flies gathered about it and were
caught like birds with glue. In endeav-
orings to free themselves the foreign
matter adhering to them was left in the
glycerine, which was carefully examined
by the microscope. The ~glycerine was
found to be full of strange cells, similar
to those seen by persons. attacked with
smallpox, but never found on the fly.
This discovery shows that flies can be a
very dangerous means of spreading con-
tagious disease f.47rfr ala NJ M

The Crop.

The cash value of the cranberry crop
in the United States, according to sta
t%istics, has been estimated as follows !:
In 1870 Maine produced 1000 barrels,
Massachusetts, 5000, Connecticut 1900,
New Jersey $1,000. This amount of
$1,000 barrels was raised principally
from the cultivated fields. At nineteen
stations on the st. Paul and Milwaukee
railway 1885 barrels were freighted
during the seaso of 1869. Only about
5000 barrels were shipped in 1868. The

Seeding Plum Trees.

An inspection o. the plum orchards
Der, 1871, demonstrated that Seeding
trees had withstood the severity of the
winter much better han those proba-
gated from suckers. Ofthe latter, thou
sands of old trees were killed, as well as
beds of young ones, while adjoining beds
of seedlings were entirely unaffected.
1t was also noticed that trees which
abounded in sprouts were more generally
affected than those from which the
sprouts had been removed at an early
period. It is also commended that seed
lings send out their roots more vertically
and deeper down, and in consequence
are more likely to reach moisture in dry
weather, and less liable to injury by the
pillow in cultivation, or to send up suck
ers.

short Horns for England.

the celebrated breeder of short-horn
cattle, has recently made sale of three
young animals for expectation tic, En-

buyer was SIS, 900 for one, s., 1000 for an

There have been within a few years
many other expectations to England of

best herd in this country, allat as satis-

some even higher. @e
English breeders have learnedthat we
have in America some of the best Bates

willing to pay fabulous prices to secure
some of them for their own herds. One
of these, a bull which was exported two

Some of the bodies were horribly mangled by

women and children were removed before the
massacre of the Peace Commissioners, and,
therefore, a large portion of them are still
alive. There are about 900 men, women, and
children, sixty of whom could fight. Probably
fifteen warriors were slain in the three days
fight.
If the Indians make a stand, this country
will be in q horrid state this summer. The
ranchers with all their cattle will be compelled
to abandon the ranches. Fifty desperate saw

The Modoc War.

An account of the fighting, thus far,
with the Modoc indians, will be found
in our paper. After two or three days
there was a suspension of fighting-tbe

part of the lava beds, about five miles
south of their old stronghold. All the

Unofficial and late accounts indicate
that the Indians have scattered into
small parties, for they have, i'll numbers
of ten or a dozen, attacked our baggage
trains, and killed one soldier, and
wounded others. Their women and
children appear to remain i'll some sec
ton of the lava beds. The shells seem
to have driven the Indians from their
first head quarters. They suffered Sc
verely by explosion of shells, and ap-
pear to fear them more than any thing
else, and therefore separated into small
bands.

nothing yet developed of serious
character or to warrant any thing more
certain than that people there are in

None of our Vermont delegation in
Congress voted for this reprehensible

using the funds after it legally came

That was in voting it. The voting was
not party measure. The proportions
ate vote was the largest from the dem
ocratic side of the House, though Benz
F. Butler, republican. and y. p. Banks,
anti-repuhlican, were leaders in the
measure. They, with such as voted
with them are the guilty parties. and
upon them the condemnation of the
people rests. 1t will rest there, and
never be forgotten. We predict that

with such as were corruptly involved
in Credit Mohilicr, will have all ever
lasting leave of absence from Congress

The penalty of crime should rest upon
those who commit it, and in this way
the republican party, if it means to be
honest in uprooting corruption, within
or outside of its ranks, must treat the
cases under consideration, and repudi-

latter remarked that the p. X O. COM
