The official time is as follows.
A Mysterious Noise.

correspondent recently heard suc- cession of strange, cracking noises out of doors at night, and had great diff culty in finding the cause. The sound came from some fallen walnut tree leaves, and he naturally expected to find that some species of insect caused the leaves to rustic.
 At the next spot where examined, I closely watched the modus operandi, and saw the dry, brown leaves gradu- ally curling open, moving like little automata; one opening would touch another, and that in turn rolled open, with the peculiar rustling sound that had at first attracted my attention. But there was noworm there. What then was the power that carried on this general movement? Upon mediating a little, the truth flashed upon me it was simply that the day had been re- markedly warm for an April day, and the heat of the sun had warped the leaves, curling them up like a voluta but as the sun set, the northeast wind had blown the clouds and moisture from the Atlantic, and, coming in con- tact with the dry leaves, had caused them to uncurl. Thinking that some motion would accelerate their move. ment, I stamped upon the ground, and immediately the whole garden seemed alive with motion. The occurrence seems of small account, but it illus trates ill a perfectly natural way the force and effects of variations in tenn perature."

The Wear and Tear of Life.

The cares, anxieties and misfortunes of life have much to do with shortening it as disease. They are In fact the of many ailments and physi- cal disabilities. Nervous weakness, dyspepsia, affections of the liver disturbances of the bowels, headaches, hypochondria and monomania are among these distressing fruits It is therefore, of great importance that persons whose minds are oppressed with heavy business responsibilities, or harassed by family troubles or excited by specu- laion perplexed by multiplicity of enterprise, or in any way overtaxed or overworked, should keep up their stamina by the daily use of whole tonic. Thousands of persons thus circum- stanced enabled to bear up against the d fcul- strength, health and mental clearness by the regu
 lar use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Diseases which prone to attack the body when debili- tated and broken down by Cver-much brain-work, exhausting physical l'bor, are kept at bay by the resis ant power which this incompara ble tonic endows the nervous system and the vital organs. At this season, when the heat is evaporating the elements of strength from every pore an invigo- rant is absolutely essential to the safety and
 fort of the public and is required even by the more robust if they desire to keep the atheeic capabil
 ties in status quo. Hence course of Hostetter's Biters is particularly useful at this period of the year as defence against the invisible disease ahoat in the sultry atmosphere. It is the most potent of all preventive medicines and for all plaints which affect the stomach the liver and the bow els aud interfere with the perfect digestion and stimulation of food, it IS the standard remedy

AN ACT OF JUSTICE. Castle was sad stumbling block to the path of Bunyan' s Christian, though it couldn't bar his way to Truth. We can sympa- thize with the Pilgrim, for Doubt al- ways besets us when we are asked to believe anything particularly extraor- dinary. Consequently, when we heard, some eighteen months ago, that phy- sician in California had compounded, from the juices and extracts of certain herbs found there, 8 medicine that cured almost every variety of blood disease, we were incredulous. But since then we have had opportunities of testing the accuracy of the report, and are free to admit that our doubts have vanished. Seeing what we have seen, knowing what we know, 1t is impossible for us to question the remedial proper ties of DR. WALKERS VINEGAR BIrrERs. That this famous vegetable Tonic, AL terative, and Antiseptic is specific for Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Chronic Constipation, Fever and Ague, Bilious Intermittents, Scrofulous Faint in the Blood, Incipient Consumption, Local and General Debility, Rheumatism, Sick Headache. and Diseases of the Kidneys, seems to be @ matter beyond the pale of controversy ttced fact i'e medical history. The statements of friends, in whose veracity and intelli- gence we have full confidence, cor roborated by our own personal observa- tion, compel us to admit the surpassing merits of the preparation.-Com

Desertions from the U. S. Navy.

Ye see," said Q veteran shellback to a reporter, to whom he was explaining why so many assertions took place from the navy, "when Jack has come off a long voyage he has generally few dol lars coming to him. His first thought is to get his pay and leave of absence to go on a spree. Yell find, though, that as rule days and weeks pass after 8 ship has come in from @ cruise before the hands are paid off, This is part of the dodge I'm going to explain to you. The men get impatient, and fret after the shore. But it's no use. The officers tell them, You can get leave if you want it ; but what's the use of leave to Jack without money? It ain't no more use than that" said the veteran, putting the last of paper of tobacco into his mouth and chucking away the tinfoil.
 "When they get thoroughly wearied master begins to sound them. He generally knows his men pretty well, and understands how to approach the subject. He takes them one by one, and condoles with them, and at last hints that he would pay them their money for small commission out of HIS OWL pOchoG, DuG GQaU Gno1o would be the devil to pay if they came back to the ship and it was found out. Jack, who Is anxious to be off. and to get his money at any price, don't stop to think, but lets the paymaster understand that if he once gets his money and is clear oi the ship there are good many chances against his coming back. Then the paymaster comes out boldly and says 'There's $500 due you. If you'll take $500 and call it square I'll give it tc you, and I'll run the chance of getting it back Ninety-nine times out of a hundred Jack takes the money and goes. Then to make the thing seem all square, the paymaster debits Jack with $500 or $4OO worth of clothing, and so forth, which he never had, ano pockets the balance of Jacks pay. The captain and the paymaster always work together in this matter, and when Jack time expires and he don't return, his name on the roll is marked a D anc there's an end of it. Why, there arc thousands of deserters walking abou New York and Brooklyn to-day who could be arrested in no time if the au thorities pleased. If they were arrested though, they would have yarn to spi1 that wouldn't be creditable to some O the brightest and highest toned officer of the navy"

Singular Cause of Fire.

A singular, but not unprecedented, cause of fire in dwelling-house in Connecticut is thus referred to by a correspondent of the Hartford Times :. "The residence of Hon. Addison O.. Mills, of Canton, narrowly escaped de- struction by fire on the afternoon of Sunday, from the following curious circumstance Several new tin milk pans were lying on bench on the south west side of the kitchen, and the refec- tion from the sun actually caused the ceiling to take fire about five or six feet above them. The fire burned from thence up to the caves of the building, through the boards, and deeply charred Q post of the house back of the boards, when it was discovered and extinguished. The next day, about the same time, the reflection was again noticed by the bright light, and the pans were removed before the boards had ignited again
 The boards were painted red, which may Rssount for the ignition. A

An Excellent Move.

The Germans of Cincinnati recently let loose fifteen hundred birds in the suburbs of that city, which they had brought over from Germany. The ob- ject is to introduce some of the most beautiful songsters, and some of the most beautiful of plumage, of Germany, into our country, in the hope that they may increase and multiply till they fill our fields and forests with beautiful songsters and insect destroying birds. Among the birds imported are the blackbird Ca singer, thrush, golden finch Every beautiful anda sweet singer), green bird, bulfnch (easily tanned and trained), redbreast, starling Ca fine singer), lark Qike the famous English lark), green-fnch, gold-fnch, and knot becker. The society propose to make another importation the present year twice as large as this one, when they will bring over the wagtail, magpie, hedge sparrow, titmouse, nightingale. redtail, German quail Ca singer), and fence sparrow, with such others as may be worth bringing. ......

Brought Back to Life.

A curious story of the bringing to life of 8 man who had committed suicide by hanging at Valdez Grace, Canton Fri burg, is told by the Confedere. On the first diagnosis the doctors affirmed that asphyxia was complete the body gave not the slightest sign of life, it being blue and rigid. One of the physicians present, however, would not leave the corpse without making final experiment. on 1t. He uncovered the breast, and attempted for some time to induce respiration by artificial means, but without result. He then applied the hole of an electric battery to the passage of the pneumo gastric nerves, and caused strong current to pass at intervals of four seconds. Almost i'm mediately feeble signs of respiration reappeared. Five minutes afterward the radical pulse and the cardiac pulse again become perceptible. The epiglottis was tumefed, and it was necessary to pull the tongue out of the mouth by means of a pair of pinchers in order to render the respiration freer. A few ounces of blood were then drawn from the mediocephalic vein. The dilated pupils contracted gradually, and the signs of life became more and more manifest. The patient was then able to swallow small quantity of alcohol Finally slight muscular contraction was perceptible without the intervention of electricity; the sensibility of tht cornea reappeared then the feet be | came warm again, and soon after tht regular pulsation of the carotid arterie

Agriculture vs. Manufactures.
Some Figures from the United States
 Census Report.


 Census Report.
 The census report of the United States says that there are 12, ,5O5, 923 persons engaged in all pursuits in this country. Of these, 5,922,471 are en- gagged in agriculture, and 2,707, 421 engaged in manufactures. Of the az riculturists, 2,977,711 are classed as farmers, and are to be taken as the pro- priety class, though unquestionably nine-tenths of them work with their own hands, and as hard or harder than their own laborers, who number 2, ,9S5,- 996. That is to say, in other words, the farmers employ fraction less than one hand each, in spite of the fact that the average of farms is 158 acres each. The number of farms is 2,659, 985, and the average horsepower required to work each farm of that size would be nearly five, or say 10,000,000 in all. The census shows that there are 9, 590,- O56 horses, mules, and working oxen employed in agriculture. Six farmers and farm laborers therefore are all that are allowed to serve each ten-horse power employed in agriculture. Of the 2,7O7, ,42l engaged in manufactures, on the other hand, there are 2,053, ,996 who draw wages as laborers, while at least two-thirds of the remaining 653, ,425, the entire proprietary class in manufac- lures, must be presumed to work with their own hands. The census returns 2,S77 persons under the style of " manufacturers, the rest being chiefly bosses of small trades and establish ments, who contribute their own labor to the sum of the gross product, with out claiming deduction for their own share of wages. These 2, TOY, 421 manu- featuring persons only tend 2,346, 142 horsepower and that, too, as machinery in 8 much more available shape than that of the farmers.
 The farming class has gross product of $2, ,A7, ,539, ,658. Of this one-third goes to the keep and feed of the $1, ,525, = 276, ,457 worth of stock which the far mers must maintain, and to the repair of their $336, SIS, 429 worth of machinery, while $31O ,286, ,285 is paid in wages. It hence follows that the 2,971, I'll far mers of the country divide among them selves a profit of about $400 per capita, with no allowance made for their own labor, which is more than half the total labor bestowed upon their farms. This, upon the capital invested in farms, stock, &c., ($11, 134, ,955, TAD, is an in terest of about 113 per cent.
 The manufacturing class has gross product of $4, ,232, ,325, ,442. From this is to be deducted the cost of materials used, valued at $2, 488, 427, PAP, and the $775, ,584, ,343 of wages paid, leaving $968, ,313, 857 to be divided in the shape of profits among the 653, 425 persons in manufactures who do not receive wages. This is 8 net profit of $1, ,466 per capita, or over 45 per cent. upon the gross capi. tai of $2,118,208, 769 employed ir manufactures. The manufacturer pays his employe an average annual wage ot of $33O, or three times what the agri culturist pays is laborer.

A Ball in India.

There is tale told that once at an up-country station in India ball was given by the English troops. At the last moment lady after lady sent an ex- cnse. Whooping-cough, measles, or what not, kept them at home, watching only one in the place-however, went. To her horror, she found that she was the only lady in the room. There were nearly hundred gentlemen present, and these were crowding round, asking for the pleasure of the first dance. II was too much for her. She had only lately arrived from England. Gazing wildly about her, she burst into flood of tears, and had to be removed.

How 1t Feels to Freeze,

One who knows tells how pleasant it is to freeze to death in Minnesota He says the bitter cold does not chill and shake person as in damper climates. It stealthily creeps within all defences, and nips at the bone without warning Riding along with busy thoughts, a quiet, pleasurable droysiness takes pos session of the body, and, in mind, the fences grow indistinct, the thoughts wander, weird fancies come trooping about with fantastic forms, the memory fails, and, in confused dream of wife and home, the soul steps out into obli- Aion without pang of regret.

The Asiatic Cholera.
The First Signs of it's Appearance

The First Signs of it's Appearance.
 A physician gives the following as the manner in which the cholera makes its approach upon it's victims =
 MALIGNANT CHOLERA.
 Usually preceded by simple pain less diarrhaa, lasting from few hours to two or three days. If sudden, com mencing with 8 very profuse discharge from bowels, with or without vomiting, accompanied by severe pain down the thighs and almost instantaneous ex- haustion.
 Discharges-after the first-consist of watery or turbid fluid, containing numerous small white rice-like particles. With peculiar alkaline odor, butnear- ly or quite free from foecal smell, and devoid of bile.
 Prostration and lowering of tempera- ture very rapid, and bearing no relation to the frequency of the discharges.
 Surface temperature lowered from degrees to degrees, or more, but in- ternal heat increased. Subjective sen sation of oppression.
 Cramps usually beginning in fingers and toes, extending to the arms, legs, Sc.
 Expired air deficient in carbonic acid early in disease.
 Urine suppressed early.
 Purple asphyxiated hue of lips, ex- tremities and often of entire body, from intense engorgement of venous system and absolute lack of oxygenation of the blood, with suffocative difficulty ot breathing.
 Indifference and apathy the mental faculties, however, commonly remain ing clear excessive wakefulness. The "faceas cholerica '-once seen, not easily forgotten-the features pinched and corpse-ike the eyes en- nea fattened the arteries in the neck pulseless.
 SPORADIC CHOLERA.
 Attack sudden, or occasionally pre- ceded by some nausea, collie pains, ano intestinal rumbling. Commences witt almost incessant simultaneous vomiting and purging, the pain being of gripping nature.
 Discharges at first the usual contents of stomach and bowels, afterwards be coming greenish or yellowish. If pro | GIdCUCu, ludJ UO COlO11Ooo, LII OFOA H1C sent some floating shreds. Very offensive, and SO strongly impregnatec with bile as to cause scalding and smart ing in their passage.
 Prostration and lowering of tempera ture progressive, and resulting from thu exhausting drain of the discharges.
 Surface temperature not so much de pressed, and internal heat not abov, normal standard. Patient usually com plains of chilliness.
 Cramps commonly limited to abdo men and legs.
 Expired air natural until death i'm pends.
 Urine rarely suppressed, unless il extreme collapse.
 Pallor of exhaustion: sometimes livid look, but never the peculiar blue ness of true cholera difficulty O breathing less marked, and proceedin, from weakness rather than asphyxia.
 Usually, much anxiety; the mind, il fatal cases, oftenest becoming cloudeC towards the end. Most frequently sleepiness from exhaustion.
 In collapse, the features are pinche' and the whole eyeball appears sunken but the flattening of the cornea is ab sent, and the characteristic aspect o true cholera is wanting.
