From Mr. John D. Treat who came up
from Valleys Springs, where he has
been taking the baths, We learn that our
holdover Senator, Hon. A. J. Lockwood,
who is still at that resort, has had very
serious attack of inhammatory rheuma-
tism; and that now, although he is on
the mend. be is quite painfully afflicted.
We hope the Senator will keep on mend
ing, and continue so rapidly in that d.
rection as to be able to enter upon his
duties, in perfect health, when the Sen
ate assemblies.

We were startled with the sad news last
night, between and o'clock, that Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Plat. had lost their
second child, Jessie, q sweet little girl of
between 9 and years of age. This case
is even more sudden than that of their
other little girl who was buried on Tues
day last. Scarcely 4S hours elapsed be-
tween the appearance of the disease and
its fatal termination. When will this
terrible plague cease its ravages?

aud his son very tenderly; be said nothing,
but they both felt, especially HENRY, that
there was something kinder and more affec-

a change In some way that made them sill

by his industry, integrity, and general good

How He Got a Supper.

A few months since a man who called hmsel {
conjuror entered a tavern in a country town,
and asked the company ho assembled in
the bar-room if they would like TO witness one
of his tricks. The fellow looked cold and hun
CRY, so the landlord gave assent, and stated that
he knew n few tricks himself, and had seen ma
ny wonderful ones. The conjuror then request
ed the company to place three hats upon the ia
BILE, which being done, he desired the landlord
to bring loaf of bread, and the stranger cut
three pieces (nearly half pound each) and pla-
ced enc upon each hat. lie then stated that he
could do the trick much more comfortably to
himself if he had three pieces of cheese. The
cheese being brought, he cut three good sized
pieces, and placed one by each piece of bread.
Now was the grand trick. The conjurer turned
up the cuff of his coat, took off his neckerchief
and unbuttoned his shht collar and stated that
he would now proceed TO eat the three pieces Of
bread and afterwards bring all under one hat
lie commenced eating the bread aud cheese and,
after eating two pieces, declared he could not
proceed with the trick unless he had som ething to
drink. The landlord, wishing that the wonder
full trick should be proceeded with for the smuse-
ment of the customers, Immediately gave the fell
low quart Of ale, and the third piece of bread
and cheese soou followed the first two pieces
Now the grand trick was TO be disclosed, and
the landlord and his companions waited TO see it,
! The conjurer then said, "Now gentlemen, what
hat shall bring the bread and cheese under 2"
The landlord pointed out his own hat wish
ing it to take part in the trick as well as his
bread and cheese. 1t being so arranged, the
conjurer said, Gentlemen, | have eaten the
bread and cheese, and now will bring it I'M
der the landlords hat" and he Immediately
placed the hat upon his head and continued,
''Now you will perceive it under the hat with
out any deception"
There were shouts Of laughter from all the
company except the landlord, who was minus
three pieces Of bread and cheese and a quart
Of ale
The fellow left The house without making a
collection Of the company, he being well satsf-
ed With the landlords generosity.

SALT IN SICKNEss-A physician re-
marks: Il am Satisfied that have seen
patients die from deprivation of common
salt during a protracted illness. 1t is n
common impression that the food for tho
sick should not be seasoned, and whatever
slop may be given, it is almost innocent Of
this essential of life. Ia the milk diet that
l recommend in sickness, common salt is
used freely, the milk being boiled aud Civ
en- hot. Aud if the patient cannot take
the usual quantity in his food, have it
given in bis drink.
This matter is 80 important that it can.
not be repeated too often, or dwell. upon
too long.
The most marked example Of this want
of common salt l have ever noticed has
been in surgical disease, especially in open
wounds. Without supply of salt the
tongue would become broad, psllid, puffy,
with tenacious pasty coat, the secretions
arrested, the circulation feeble, the effusiou
at the point Of injury serious, with an un.
pleasant watery pus, which at last becomes
a mere sanies or ichor. A few days of a
free allowance would change all this, and

a PRICELESS RECIPE FOR FARMERS
Every farmer who has to feuco his laud
knows too well how quickly posts planted
in the earth become rotten, especially in
damp spot. AL Of them will welcome the
following process to prevent rottenuess, n
process as wonderful in it's effects rs it is
simple and almost costless. 1t is taken
from LIE Bien Public, Of Dion, France.
Take linseod oil, boil il, mix in with
charcoal dust until tho mixture has tho
consistonce Of an ordinary paint Give to
the posts single coat Of the mixture or
paint before planting thom, and no farmer,
even living to the age of patriarchs of old, ,
will live long enough to see tho same posts
rotten.
Some years ago discovered tho way Of
rendering wood more durable in earth than
iron itself, says the author Of the commu-
nication, but it seemed 10 me so simple,
and so inexpensive that did not think it
worth while to make much ado and fuss /.
bout it. Posts Of soft wood thus prepared
we're removed after remaining seven years
in the earth, and were found as sound as
when they were planted. The only pre-
caution to take is to use only we'll dried
posts before covering them with the char
coal paint
The above recipe is certainly cheap, and
seems to be well worth the trial. II what
is said of the efficiency Of that simple aud
cheap (about two cents per posD process be
only half true, certainly it would save year
ly millions of dollars to the farmers aud
telegraph companies. For il is said that
The farmer, even in bis teens, who will
plant posts having received coat of this
'Perpetuity Post Paint will never live
long enough to see the same posts rotten.

One Of the greatest cares in the world to avoid

people murmured and spoke against God. AS a

bite was fatal to life "And much people of Is

In answer to Moses prayer a means Of cure
was provided for such deadly indictions. The
evil was not removed the serpents were permit
ted to live and bite the people of Israel; but a
simple mode OF cure was made available A
brazen serpent was lifted upon pole in full view
of all. Merely to look upon this, suficed TO
