An Antidate fer Poison.

A farmer furnishes an exchange the
following statement. Its truth we do
not indorse, but the specific has the
merit of being harmless if not effective
1t is now over twenty years since /
learned that sweet oil would cure the
bite of rattlesnake, not knowing that
it would cure any other poison. Prac
tice, observation and experience have
taught me that it will cure poison of
any kind, both in man and beast. /
think no farmer should be without a
bottle of it in his house. The patient
must take spoonful of it internally
and battle the wound for cure. To
cure horse requires eight times as
much as it does to cure man. 1t is an
antiGote for arsenic and strychnine.
It will cure bloat in cattle caused by eat
ing too freely of fresh clover it will
cure stings of bees, spiders, or other
insects; and it will also cure persons
who have been poisoned by low rum
ming vine, growing in meadows, called
iyy."

A Snake i'm a Railway Car.

4 letter from Genesee to the Syracuse
On. W Standard, under date OF Sept.
"a, relates the following Yesterday,
on the train on the Erie railway, which
runs from Rochester to Danviile, and
reaches here at 10 a. M, a most singular
circumstance occurred. When the train
was about three miles from this village,
the passengers IN one of the coaches
were alarmed by the singular actions OF
a lady who gave her name as Mary Z.
Rhoades, of Adrian, Mich, and rela-
tive of the Rev. G. I. Seibt, of Clean,
n. Y. She was leaning over seat,
uttering the most piercing cries. A
gentleman rushed to her aud asked the
trouble. She made no answer, but
continued to scream the louder. When
the train reached this village she was
helped into the waiiing-room, and a
gentleman present procured glass of
brandy, which being given to the lady,
she appeared to recover some. A lady
standing near at this juncture gave a
scream, and pointing TO the head of
Miss Rhoades, tainted. On examina-
ton large striped snake was observed
coiled around the chignon of the lady.
How 1t came there was mystery, and
only explained by the theory that it had
got into the car and took refuge under
the cushions of the car-seaS. Miss
Rhoades stated she felt something
up her head, but only give vent to Eer
feelings IN screams, and until 1t was
taken off did not herself know what the
matter was. The snake was killed, and
affair produced no little excitement fol

Too Much Travel.

Day before yesterday a couple of
movers covered wagons came rolling
through the streets, bound for Kan
sas or bust" or some other Western
port. When they arrived at the corner
of Walnut and Fifth streets they halted,
and from one alighted stalwart young
man, who inquired where the Recorder
kept his shop. He didn't know what
Recorder, nor whether it was the Re-
corder that he wanted to see, but il
was the "feller that married folks. .
Just then an aged masculine alighted
from the other wagon and informed the
youngster that it was the clerk that
issued "them license" and off they
started, accompanied by girl, the
wonlan's daughter. to the Court House,
followed by crowd of idlers. Here
they procured "them license" ano
were married standing by the wagon
On the way the old gent informed the
accompanying spectators as follows
"That thar's MY gal, and this man has

eled too far together without gitin

Thus it appears that there are al,
6S3 acres more under wheat than last
year, with a proportionate decrease IL
the area under barley and oats
The increase in the wheat acreage is
somewhat over four per cent, but to
this apparently must be added an uncer-
tain increase In crop from improved
yield, for we have no confirmation of
the reports sent by cable few days
ago, that the yield was likely to be def
such reports could have been sent here,
for We have had nothing by subsequent
mail accounts to countenance such a
statement. On the contrary, we find
Mr.. Card, admittedly the highest of
grain authorities in England, assuming
an increase of yield. in the following
strain Between the increase OF acre
age and the increase Of yield and quail
ty, | estimate the wheat crop of 1874 as
at least 5000, 900 quarters better than
the deficient crop OF 1873. Taking the
crop at thirty bushels an acre and then
deducting for seed, home growth avail
able for consumption will probably ex-
coed 13, 900, 900 quarters. As the potato
crop, both IN Ireland and in this coun-
try is very promising, the consumption
of wheat is not likely to exceed %, 000,-
600 quarters. The foreign supply re-
quired viii thus be 100000 quarters.
The general reports of foreign crops,
and especially the abundance of that OF
France, lead me to the conclusion that
we shall get this quantity at probably
40 shillings a quarter, or for about
f20, 900, 600. The home crops Of 1872
and 1873 required to be supplemented
by an importation of 12,643, 900 and
1882, 0O0 quarters respectively, or an
average OF II. go, 600 quarters for each
year. The price of this was nearly 60
shillings q quarter, making an outlay
on foreign wheat of upward of &c.,
600, 900 as the average of each of these
years. There Is thus every probability
that the good wheat harvest of the pres
ent year will save Us between Els, O00,-
coo and 100000 In the cost of for
eign corn.
These remarks so fully work out the
bearings of the enlarged wheat crop as
to call for no further comments. One
fact, however, is not mentioned by Mr..
Card, which has an important bearing
on the prospect of English demand for
wheat, viz, that the British granaries

Died suddenIy OF Heart disease.

How common is the announcement. Thou
sands are suddenly swept into eternity by this
fatal malady. This disease generally has its
origin in impure blood filed with irritating,
poisonous materials, which, circulating through
the heart, irritate it's delicate tissues. Though
the irritation may at fret be only slight, pro-
ducing little palpitation or irregular action,
or dull heavy or sharp, darting pains, yet by
and by the disease becomes firmly seated and
Inflammation or hypertrophy. or thickening OF
the lining membrane or OF the valves, is pro-
cuced. How wise to give early attention to q
case of this kind. Unnatural throbbing or
pain in the region Of the heart should adj
monish one that all is not right, and if you
would preserve 1t from further disease, you
must help it to beat rightly by the use of such
remedy as will remove the cause OF the
trouble. Use DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery before the disease has become too
seated, and it will, by it's great blood purifying
