MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

The y. Y CON- Adrerfiser says that those
who join the ''New Methodists" must be
''humble and opposed to secret societies :;
must discard the use of tobacco and whiskey,
and the wearing Of jewelry, and must not
partake the pleasure of picnies, church fes-
tivals, lotteries, &c, or make any display
of human eloquence or learning On this
platform, we don't think the organization
is destined to attain any great strength nu-
merically during the next fifty or sixty gen
erations.

4 Crg;ors CAsa-A drug clerk in Louis
Vile. Kv.. Adoph kuntz by name, and
twenty wears Of age has lately submitted to
10 novel surgical operation. II seems
that on the Doth Of April last, man with
his doc at his heels. entered the drug store
to have a prescription filled. and took n seat
to await his turn. Young Kuntz had occa-
sion to pass through the store . few mo-
ments alterwarl. and by some means un-
known provoked the dog, who >prang for
ward and seized him 10y the lower portion
of the right arm, hi teeth penetrating the
flesh. Nearly lour months had passed by
without the wound healing perfectly, and
although there were u, running sores, still
there was more or les, matter secreted At
times which was Il source both of annoyance
and pain. The distinct impress of the teeth
remaining. with the formation of matter and
localized pain, aggravated at every change
of weather, determined the young mans
father To have recourse to surgical treatment.
Accordingly Drs Miller and Cook were con
suited and advised removal of the parts by
the knife The young man was placed un-
der the influence Of chlorolorm, and the
operation of cxcision proceeded with. The
six fostering parts were carefully removed
from both sides Of the forearm, and sur
gical wound remained occupying an area
about equal to a currency dime. The Cour-
ip--Joarnai says that the operation, which
was very nice one-inasmuch as import
ant blood vessels and nerves had to be avoid
ed-was completely successful. After the
dressing were applied and the young man
had regained consciousness. he was taken to
St. ,Joseph's Intimacy. 1t is not known
positively whether or not these wounds
would have developed into hydrophnbia, but
at any rate the young mans fears are re-
| moved.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. l2.-Tho "maniiesta-

o'clock last Saturday morning, Mrs. Giddings
and her hired girl. Mary Speigler, Polish,
aged fourteen. were engaged about their
household duties in the kitchen, when the
cellar trap-door was seen to rise and fall.
Mr. Gdlings paid no particular attention
to circumstance. thinking that one of
the 1arders had gone into the cellar. She
soon aiterward had occasion u - into the
cellar for pan Of beans. when to her as
toniShment She found no one there Then
she sat down in the kitchen and began TO
clean the beans. and suddenly an cgg came
flying ont of the pantry, describing curve
in such a way that no human hand could
have directed it. IN inspection of the
pantry gave no clue to the mystery. Whilst
She was moving across the room the pan of
beans went off on skating trip. Then a

last exhibition Of the Essex county Mass
agricultural society that green corn fodder
is the best article that can be used for cows
giving milk, taking into consideration lis
value Tor food and the ease with which 1t
can be used. One of them had tried an ex-
reriment. which he stated as follows -Four
cows were selected for his herd when the
pastures were scorched with excessive
drouth. Two of them were fed night and
morning with green corn stalks as much as
they could eat; the other two were fed with
English hay, OF medium quality, as much as
they wonld eat all going in the same pas
ture during the day. The milk was care
fully measured After about two weeks
their food was changed. Those that had
been fed with corn were fed with hay, and
those that had been fed on hay were fed on
corn for about two weeks longer, and the
milk was carefully measured. The result
was the same. There was no perceptiblC
difference in the quantity of milk produced
when fed on green corn fodder or English

THE OLD MAN TO HIS WIFE.

Fifty years ago. this merry Christmas Eve,
We joined our youthful hands for life;
Let fortune smile, or fortune grieye,
Thou didst become my weddod wife.
Thy dear eyes flashed with joyous light,
Thy round checks bloomed with happy
glow,
Thy soft curls rivalod the wing of night.
And thy mouth the arch of Cupid's bow.
Thy slender form, with its supple grace,
As you moved through the merry dance,
Was fitting match for the bonnie face
That met the charmed boholdcr's glance.
Fifty years have crowned thy head with snow
Have plowod thy brow with burrows deep;
The bounding stop is feeble and slow,
But the gcnte heart is pure and sweet
As in the far-oH days of long ago.
Though thy form hath bent meath the hand
OF Time,
Thy heart hath not lost its youths sweet glow.
Nor thy voice, though cracked, its tender
chime
Thine oyos have lost their sparkle bright,
Washed dim by many bitter tears;
Thy checks have lost youths roses bright,
In the flight of the passing years.
But to me thou art doarer by far
Than in the day of thy youthful bloom;
Thro' life thou hast been my guiding star,
Without thee life had been tomb.
To me thou hast been II faithful friend,
As side by side we walked through life,
And such wilt thou be until the end
OF Lite's long and wearisomc strife

vailed, and after the most strenuous ex-
ertons, Rogers was allowed his life on
condition of his rosigning the alcal ldcship,
which he did without single demurrer,
glad to escape SO easily. The case, how
ever, was not ever, The functions and
existence of the Court of Appeal had by
no means ceased, and it appearing TINT
Rogers was in possession Of part OF the
property Of which Sprenger had been
robbed, he was forced to disgorgo tho
last dollar, which was only done by
means Of an execution, and justice was
satisfied
The principal parties to this case have
disappeared from sight, but the remem-
branco Of it is yet fresh among the old
settlers of southern Oregon, and the pro-
ceodings therein are still of record in the
archives of Jackson county. Some of
the actors in this little drama are stiu
among us. Jacobs, who stood before that
excited mob and pleaded in behalf Of the
sacred principles of law, now occupies
the position of Chief Justice of Wash
ington Territory. Prim has been Chief
Justice of Oregon, and is now associate
Justice on the supreme Bench of that
state. "Chief Justice " Hayden has
held tho honorable place Of Recorder for
the principal town of southern Oregon
for nearly twenty consecutive years, hav-
ing repeatedly refused higher honors,
while Kinney has long since gone TO
plead, in obedience to rcsisloss man
date, before higher tribunal than all.
Tho day of the Pioneer is over. The
star that he has followed has reached its
zenith, and he can go no farther. We
may now regard him as soldier in the
cause of human advancement, whose bat
ties have been fought and won, and he
may we'll look back in surprise at tho
wonderful social and material results that
have followed in his wake. Tho shifting
sands Of the desert have covered up his
footsteps, but the solid and substantial
foundation laid 10y tho Pioneer for the
social structure of the Far West
will be AS lasting as it is surprising.
Separated by thousands Of miles of lofty
mountains and barren plains from the
ties and influences of civilization, these
wild, rough men established in the early
days codo of ethics for the regulation
OF the social dutics, that was founded on
the soundcst principles of morality
Without written law, they enforced JUS
ticc, and decided all questions relating 10
individual rights with that unerring judg-
mcnt which springs from keen discrm-
inotlon between right and wrong, and is
worthy Of the Jurisprudence of the high
est civilization. OpcHUtd MoHthiy.

A VICTIM TO WAVED FLooRs.-Ip
December last young lady in this city.
with her betrothcd, went to a ball given
in one Of the fashionable halls in Boston.
As it is tho custom now, the floor was
highly polished, or "waxed." During
the evening, while dancing in q waltz
quadIilIe, the young lady slipped and fell
and the young man who accompanied
her, in his efforts to save her from falling
placed his hand on her side, but also
slipped at the same time. When the
young lady was placed on her feet she
was unable to stand, and wa. carried from
the ballroom. 1t appeared that the
young man, in his efforts to save her,
pierced her side with one Of his fingers ia
such a manner as to cause faintness and
intense pain. She was conveyed home
in a carringe, placed in bed and physi-
clan sent for, who pronounced Eer seri,
ously injured internally. She never rose
again from that bed, and only u few days
since was borne 10 her last resting place
in Maiden cemetery. The apors in our
bathrooms nowad " aie as slippery as
glass, and tho practice Of waxing them
to such an extent rs to endaager life,
should be iscountenanced. - Cambridge
