soldier. His great fait d'armes was the
capture of Oporto in 1847, when the
British feet, uEder Admiral Parker, CO.
operated IN the suppression Of a Portu-
guese insurrection against the reigning
dynasty. For this he was created Mar
quis del Duero. In 1854 he again
showed marvellous courage on the occa-
casion of military revolt IN Barcelona.
The troops in the citadel refused to sur
render, and he entered the place alone,
telling his supporters TO storm the for

The search for dead bodies has been
going on all day in Mill Run Valley,
and will be continued for several days
and perhaps even weeks. The meadows
are 80 deeply covered with debris that
it is feared many dead bodies have yet
been undiscovered. A number have
been recovered to-day, and it is now
thought that the estimate of 200 lives
lost may fall even below the actual
truth. The extent of the disaster in
oreases rather than diminishes, and it
as yet impossible to give reliable esti-
mate of the loss Of life and property.

CAUSE OF THE oATAsTRoPHE.

1t appears that serious doubts as to
the safety of the reservoir have been
entertained ever since it was built, nine
years ago, though less the last year or
two than in its early history. The di-
rect cause of the disaster, aside from
the general weakness of the dam, must
remain a subject of speculation. Per-
haps as satisfactory theory as any is
one advanced by man familiar with
the case, that the frosts had started the
earth so the water had found numerous
little courses through it, which finally
carried the first mass of earth Saturday
morning, and at once precipitated the
catastrophe,

SAVING THE DEAD.

The gracious work of saving the dead,
from this burial, began at noon at Skin
nervilIe. The first bodies were picked
up, dug out from the mud, or taken
with difficulty from the overloaded
ruins. All through the valley till night
and then men with lanterns, seeking
their dead, stood guard. At Hay
denville forty bodies were gathered
by night and at Leeds, forty-five.
There were fewer dead at Florence and
Northampton. There were one hun
dred and forty in all, though many more
are certainly buried in the mud and
rubbish that fill the valley with black
heaps from Williamsburg to Northamp-

about his method of using the ashes. We
learned, however that none had been ap.

the lasting qualities of the ashes. The

CLOVER PASTURE ron cows.

tIONEN FNSItKt ftN tONs.
AT The meeting Of the Dairymcn's AS.
sociations in this State, this subject has
been freely discussed, and no agrocmcn,
has been reached as to whether good,
long. keeping butter can be madc when
COWS are pastured on clover. AT one
meeting of the Chau,auqua Dairymon's
Association, held in Sherman, june 2lst,
1878, several Of the most successful
dairymen objected in the strongest terms
to any clover in pastures, while others,
equally successful in making first class
goods, preferred white and red clover to
any other forage. The sano question
has recently come up in tho columns Of
London Field, and in some Of the answers
by its correspondents, we find hint as
to the cause of the ill.cflect of clover
pasturago on tho cream and butter ;
which may explain, in part at lcast, such
decided difference of opinion among
dairymen.
One correspondent writes: II keep a
dairy of twelve cows; they feed on pas
ture, also on upland, sown with artificial
grasses, such az clover and trcioil. /
have never known the milk, cream, or
butte. 10 any way affected by tho clover
There is danger of the animals being
blown on the clover, if not fed on it by
degrees until they are not likely to gorge
themselves. 1t is quite possible, however,
that the trefoil or hop clover, being of a
very bitter nature when getting old, may
have had the effect complained of; but,
generally speaking, when at this stage
stock will not willingly eat it, and do so
only when very much pressed. AS a
rule, it should be fed off in its young
state Glover consider to DE always
good food. Sheep, too, sometimes become
very much Auxed by the trefoil A weed
called hereabouts May weed is sometimes
found growing amongst clover IA kind oil
large daisy.looking hower) that is bitter
in taste and disagreeablc in smell, and
might produce the effect complained Of
Another correspondent says: The
belief that clover does act detrimentally
on the quality of dairy produce is sc
general, that there must be some iounda
ton for the charge. But | have proved
that perfectly good cream and butter car
be made from cows eating green clover
| believe the secret to be this All mill

the cream be not removed before thi
astringency dcvelopes itself, the butter
must partake of it, becoming worse every
day that it is kept. And some kinds o
heritage Glover for one) bring on thi
stage in the milk sooner than does sount

essary to produce this change varies will
