Chick en- Cholera.

Chicken Cholera.
This terrible disease to fowl flesh
has been prevailing for the past tw o
or three years in our County to the
dotriment of all poulty-raisers. A
kind friend handed US the following
sure preventative, which we publish
below, for the benefit of those who
have and have not suffered from the
loss upon thoir farms, of poultry:
"rhe chicken cholera has been so
very prevalent and fatal, for some
years past, that the business Of chick
en- raising has almost become a heart.
less task to our farmers wives. And
as tho season is now, just at hand
when they will commence operations
to raise their supplies of chickens,
your many lady readers would doubt.
less be glad to know Of some cure pre-.
tentdive Of that fatal disease. NV
plan is this: Procure O. trough, fivo
feet long, ten inches wide and three
inches doep and place it noar the we'll
or at somc convenient place in tho
yard. Into this, put q quantity of
white oak bark and several scraps of
old iron or horse shoes, and fill up the
trough with water. In few days,
the water will become almost as black
as ink, but tho chickens become very
fond of it and drink it readily.H
supply now bark as the stropgth be.
comes exhausted from thc old, and
keep mp this course, the whole wear
round. This is the plan VIC pursue
and we raise hundreds of them
every season. If all your lady read.
ers will rmsue this plan and advise
their neieh5ors 20 do the same, I
don't think you will hear any more
complaints about cholera. Hoping
tho above may provo Of scrgice TO
your many readers and the public
gencrally."

Strange Indifference.

Strange Indifference.
Out Of the thirteen persons who at.
tended the town meetin last Thurs.
day night, for the purpose of nominal.
ing Council, there were not half
dozen persons who pay taxes on real
estate. We arc loath to take this as
en- indication that the property owners
in town feel no interest in the ap-
proaching Municipal election, or are
indifferent as to the kind of men who
shall be. chosen to preside over tho
town. We hear of this man and that
man saying he will not vote for all the
nominees. Yet lat man stayed away
from the meeting, showing that ho
was either Indifferent as to the result,
or was willing to leave the matter to
< few to direct. If a Council is elect
ed, in any way Objectionable to any
one who did not attend the meeting,
he will have 10 grounds whatever of
Complaint: We ourselves arc satis-
fed with the nominations as whole,
and commend their SUPPORT to every
good citizen.

was sentenced by Judge Mickey to

Public improvements In washington.

The report Of the Engineer Of the
Board OF Public Works In Washington
City has been finished, and shows Inn
provements made In the city to an ex-
tent almost beyond belief. The fol-
lowing from the Sunday Herald will
illustrate the nature Of the work:
There have been laid more than 200
miles Of brick sidewalks. three miles
aud a halt OF flag sidewalks, 16 miles
of curbstone, four miles of concrete
sidewalks, and 45 miles Of gravel road
way. In addition to the above figures
we may set down IL miles Of blue
stone and cobble pavement, 81 miles
Of wood pavement, Is miles Of con-
crete. 10 OF Belgian aud granite, and
nine Of McAdam. Very much Of our
improved street pavement has been
treated chemically for example, g..
600 yards have been Burnetized. 81.
600 yards ironized, 10000 yards
treated with the Seely process, and
100, 900 yards treated with the Rob
| bins process. About $780, 900 yards Of.
"parking'' have been done. 10 raise
| I'D houses and underpin them has cost
$i82, 900, and new steps and railings
have cost $l07, 900. The main sewer
age OF the city Is still more extraor-
binary, as tho following figures will
show: OF the Slash Run sewer,
which Is 10 feet span, there have been
laid a, 900 linear feet Of the B street
sewer. u feet span, $500 feet Of
Tiber Creek main stem, which Is 80
feet span, 1850 feet, plus 1000 feet Of
20 feet span ; Of the eastern and north
western sewers, which are 0 feet In d.
ameter, there have been laid about
200 feet; Of tho Boundary street
sewers about 2, 400 feet have been laid;
add to these secondary brick sewers to
the amount of $4,000 feet, and Of pipe
sewers more than 81, 900 feet. While
the above figures almost take the
breath away. they are not more re-
markable than the record OF private
building which has steadily kept pace
with the public improvements. Du-
ring the last season 56S brick aud stone
and 504 frame buildings were put up,
Of which 20 had Mansard roofs. Of
these buildings COS have been put up
northwest Of the Capitol, and lis
northeast OF the Capitol.

THERE arc indications on all sides
that the next session Of Congress will
be closely watched BY the people.
Many Of the most devoted OF our Re-
publican journals are giving notice
that unless there Is genuine spirit Of
reform developed there will BE- trou-
BILE. The Cleveland Leader, which has
tasted the flavor Of q little independ-
erce In local politics, and liked It,
says: "The time has come for n gen.
eral reform in the manner Of doing
the public business. There has been
not only too much corrupt legislation
and too much stealing. but a too gen.
eral looseness. The people are now
fully aware Of this and demand that 1t
shall cease. The eyes Of their con-
stituents will closely watch members
Of the coming Congress. Woe unto
them II they are found wanting"

the shooting, ~ near as we are able to
gather the facts from the multlfarlous
stories concerning the affair are rs fol.
lows: Flemming and q brakeman on
the railroad got Into q row, and Elem.
ming knocked the railroader down.
At this Raymond interfered and pitch

him pretty severely, when he cried for
help, take him OF, etc. At this juno
ture another party named George
Elsenmenger, drew his pistol, aud
swore he would shoot the first -
that attempted to part them. Mean.
time Flemming got his pistol to bear
and shot Raymond In the abdomen.
Flemming then managed to free him
self, and started to run, and As he went
out Of the door Of the saloon some one

took effect In the right shoulder. Mr..
Eisenmenger was arrested on = charge
Of assault with intent to kill, but upon
