Those Mooing Rocks Again.-MR. EDI- TOR. A correspondent in your last issue enquiries about those moving rocks in the Twin Lakes of Salisbury remember very we'll the statement to which he refers, which went the rounds of the papers at the time. Unfortunately, I am unable to give the original article, but will send you an item of similar kind concerning rock in Nudge Pond in Sharon. The pond as you are aware, lies In a rather deep val ley between the Indian Mountain on the west and high ridge of land on the east Its depth on the east side is very unequal Towards the upper end, and at the point of rocks. it has been ascertained to be of great depth, while farther down on the same side is shallow bottom, always known as the sand bar, running out into the lake some twenty rods, with depth of water hardly up to the knees about the middle of the bar, so-called, there used to be rock weighing some six or eight tons, always In sight from nearly all parts of the pond, whether in calm or storm, coated with ice or washed by the restless waves It had been fixture beyond the memory of the oldest inhabitant. It was quite rallying point for the youngsters in our swimming parties for those of them who were afraid to venture out into the deep water on either side. Some years since, being in the vicinity, took pains to visit the place, and found to my surprise that the rock was no Tor ger iE sight. It had moved into deep water quite number of feet. Its path was quite visible, as it had cut quite deep furrow in the gravelly bot tom, which l presume can stlll be seen. l The movement was in an upward direc- tion of the pond. Either way there would have been no current to have oecasioned when the ice breaks up it would be diff cult to imagine any movement of the ice which could move the rock, as the heat radiating from the rock would detach the ice before the mass would move, if it moved at all, which is doubtful to say the least Will some of our friends near the Twin Lakes help us in the matter if they are cognizant of any facts in relation to the movement of the rocks in their vicin- ity. Yours, &c.,

 In the article on these moving rocks last week by 'N." one CT two typographical errors crept in, which perhaps ought to be corrected. In speaking of the large bowl ders, the types ought to have read south western instead of northwestern. Further on the word "washing" should have beer Here we are stuck fast The whole
 working force of THE NEWS office, from the devil up, with the assistance of few outsiders, were brought to bear on tha
 word, but dead set was inevitable. Stil
 further on, the word "picking' should have been rendered piling. With these corrected, the article would have appeared better.-ED. NEWS.

PEABODY MEDICAL INSTITUTE
No. 4, RuIfinch Street, Boston.

When a thing is ountereited, 1t is a proof ot It's excellence and popularity. The Peabody Med ical Institute is case in point. Founded in good faith many years ago, and the only establishment of the kind in the country, It's success and ever increasing popularity finally caused the name Medical Iustitute) to be pirated and adopted by lot ot infamous quacks, empirics and pretenders,
 who have been endeavoring to cheat the public by
 sailing under stolen flag The founoer of the
 Peabody Medical Institute can in no way be held
 responsible for thls misuse of the name of rep
 utable and well-knowu curative establishment and legitimate medical institution, winch has been from the start specially devoted to the treatment of nervous Arrangements and affections, from whatever causes proceeding. During its existence there have been issued from it several medical publications quite recently work on Diseases of the Nervous System which have had almost world wide circulation and popularity. These publications sufficiently attest the high character of the institution under whose patronage these medical works have been pu blished Meantime 1t
 is gratifying to know that several of the impudent charetans whe have stolen it's to cover their nefarious practices, are getting their deserts in the penal institutions of the Commonwealth Boston Herald. 1m2S-gs9O0

Coal OIL.

Accidents from the use of coal oil have
become very frequent of late, whether from
the bad quality of the oil, or from careless
handling, we are unable to say. No less
than halE-a-Iozen accidents have occurred
in town, in this way, during the past two
weeks, and in each case the burning of IL
building came near being the result.
Nearly all the disastrous fires in Monroe
since the war, can be traced to coal oil.
And yet when we see people burning cheap
oil, rushing around with lamp in hand in
the open air, burning oil in Il lamp minus
tho chimney, dloseing the light out and doing
numerous other equally indiscreet acts, the
wonder with us is that accidents 'front.' he
use of coal oil lamps are so few.

The Overflow in Richlnnsp.

| ALTO, Ia. May 90 1874.
| Editor O'e@chita 9eycg,'tthh:
| As have an opportunity, write 10 you
! to give an item of water news in relation to
our Bceun' river country. We have suffered
tho last six weeks, but not so much as other
| PORTIONS. The water three miles east of rs
and from there to tho mouth OF Bosuh' river
is from three to fonr feet higher than was
ever known before, and plantations that
never suffered before from overflow have
| been almost entirely submerged. Six miles
below here. III the ncighborfood of Red
mouth and from there down, there is hard
ly to be soon any land. and tho stock has
bayou we have II much greater breadth of
land out, and the most Of our planters have
suffered but little.
AT Alto we had ut the highest water 1919
inches bank. and at many other places we
had from three to four feet. Had our
neighhors below here anticipated any such
water they could have saved all their stock
by driving them into this neighborhood
BocuT river would have suffered but little
had it not been for the breaking of the Qua
chita leyees which caused the water to rise
so rapidly that there was no chance to get
the is r ,s's pase and
long time to regain the loss. Orchards
that have taken years to rear have been
very large portion of the planters will not
be able to make any crop at all this year, as
c the rails fro hayS been washed away by the
blow.
Inc Hellc1 tonnltlee OF Ne" Orleans
has very kindly sent to our section n con
signment of supplies for the sufferers, but
unless they keep itmp it has done no good,
rather an injury. The people had supplies
at presenter at least some Of then-but
not enough to run them the year, and find
that the issuing of rations has n very great
tendency to demoraliZe the labor OF the
country. i have frequently seen work
offered to those who are drawing rations
and they refused to accept of II chance to
make money. Such people deserve to suf-
Ter. The health of the country continues
excellent.
