A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
A Short POstpOnement of tho Fifth Gift
Concert.

AS managers of the gift concerts given
in aid of the Public Library of Kentucky
my position creates an important trust in
behalf of the Public Library and the ticket
holders of the fifth gift concert. The Pub
lie Library of Kentucky and the ticket
holders are jointly interested in the amount
of the drawing. The larger the fund to be
distributed in gifts the greater will be the
gift awarded to each lucky ticket-holder
and the more the amount realized by the
Library. To have full drawing is so
manifestly to the interest of those inter-
ested that, rather than have fractional
drawing on the Both inst, l deem it due to
the trust confded to me by the ticket
holders and the Public Library of Kentucky
that short postponement be made to en-
able me to dispose of the unsold tickets and
have a full drawing. Though the very
large amount now in bank would enable us
to distribute handsome gifts, yet we should
feel disappointed in this our last concert,
should we be compelled to make frac-
tional drawing, however large.
We have received so very large a number
of letters from all parts of the country from
those most largely interested, urging a
postponement if all the tickets be not sold
by the Both, that we feel strengthened in
our sense of duty to the ticket-holders and
the Public Library to make the postpone
ment. Under the circumstances, we have
determined, in the interest of all parties, to
postpone the concert and drawing to Sat
urday, February 81, 1875, at which time
the drawing will positively take place, and,
as guarantee of good faith toward ticket
holders, we pledge ourselves to refund to
any ticket-holder his money, upon presen-
tation of his ticket, should the drawing fail
to come of at the day now fixed. The past,
we feel assured, will be sufficient guarantee
to all interested that they will be fairly and
honestly dealt with. The money paid for
tickets is sacredly preserved against all
contingencies until after the payment of
the gifts, after which the expenses are to
be reimbursed and the Public Library is to
be paid its profits.

Those mysterious, stones that fell from
nobody knows where upon the premises of
Thomas Paddock at North Pownal, VT,
are still attracting much attention. The
stones are now said to be hot when they
reach the earth. Investigation is said to
show that the stones cannot be thrown by
mischievous persons. Mr.. Paddock has
offered reward of 81 to anybody who will
explain the mystery!

MARRIAGES OF BLooD RELATIONS;
Statistics presented to, the French
Academy, show that the marriages
of blood relations form about. two
per cent. Of all the, marriages in
France, and that the deaf and dumb
offspring, at birth of eoqplssaanguin-
eous marriages, are in proportion
to the deaf and dumb born in or
,dinary. wedIeck-at Lyons, = full
twenty-five per cent, at'least TWEEN
ty.fve per cent. in Paris, and thirty
per cent. in Bordeaux, the proper
tions Of the deaf and, dumb by birth
increasing with the degree Of blood
relationship. The data obtained
show that, if the danger of having
a deaf and dumb child in ordinary
marriage, represented by figures, is
one, there will be eighteen in mar
rliage,es between first cousins, thirty
seven iu marriages, between uncles
and nieces, and seventy IN mar
riages between nephews and :aunts.
1t appears, too, that the most
healthy parents, if related in blood,
may have deaf and dumb children ;
while deaf and dumb parents, if
not related. very rarely have deaf
and dumb children. fa,, ali ryt tIi;v

qFattaning Cattle.

T. One would hardly suppose it nee
.essary to say that in fattening stock
warmth is of great Importance;
yet,, particularly in fattening hogs,
we see, this principle continually
neglected. styes, pens, and stables
are built often in cold, exposed
places; and, though the location
may, sometimes be good enough,
the, buildings are so roughly put
together that the cold winds whistle
through in every direction. The
food which cattle eat in q great
measure goes to supply waste heat.
The internal arrangements of an
animal are much the same as the
heating arrangements efia building,
and the food is 50, much fuel that is
being consumed in this internal
stove. To have a cold, open place
for cattle, though they lie we'll fed,
is much the same as to ohave a large
fire in ones, Office of. a cold day,
and then leaye all the doors and
windows open for the heat to es-
cape.4 Warmth, however, is not
the only. thing n;eedf1l to make cat
tie fatten well. Good health is an
essential element. i No matter how
close we may keep a.. room; unless
the stove draws well there is little
heat given obt..' So the animal
may have warmisurreundings, with
plenty to eat but unless thetdigest-
