 Apoplexy in fowls is recognized by sleepiness, dropping, staggering gait, and blindness. The fowl mopes, or, when moving, falls helpless, and gener- ally dies in few hours. The remedy is to bleed from 8 vein beneath the wing, and give some pills of cayenne pepper, and castillo soap. When fowl has the pip It refuses to eat, in fact, can- not eat, because of the soreness of the tongue, the end of which becomes blis- tered and covered with horny scale or seab. From starvation it becomes fever ed, the feathers are ruf1ed, and it lin gers and slowly gets weaker, until at last it dies miserably. The remedy is to remove the scale from the tongue, and give the bird two or three pills made of ground black pepper and but ter. It should be fed by putting soft balls of bread and milk down its throat.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
thank the citizens OF the Fifth Congressional
district for the earnest manner in which was
supported at the polls on Tuesday last. 1t speaks
well for the intelligence and independence Of the
voters OF the district. Tammany Hall, with its
immense power, was arrayed against me. had
nothing to give. nothing to promise, consequently
those who voted for me did SO indepen-
dently ana from honest convictions. There
fore 1 am thankful and grateful for their
support and the confidence they placed in me.
Tue result is still IN doubt. 1 believe that re.
ceved majority of all the votes deposited in the
ballot boxes. Many honest workingmen were de-
prved from voting for me-. 'repeaters" having
voted on their names. some being detected In the
act, while citizens who favored me were driven
from the polls and prevented from voting at all by
gangs Of hired "Dulliesu who infested the polling
places.
Frauds have undoubtedly been perpetrared in
order to defeat me. Yet / claim that they have
not succeeded in doing so. 1t is ny duty to ex-
pose them, and Tor that purpose call upon all
good citizens to assist me. Your Obedient servant

OF trouble.

Ten Tnousand Acres of Woodln nd
Burned Over Near Meriden-Fires
Along the New Haven Railroad.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. I. 1874.
fire of great magnitude has been raging for
several days on what are known as the Blue Hills,
between the city OF Meriden, on the Hartford ana
New Haven Railroad and the town of Southington.
The long absence OF rain has made the forests dry
as tlnder, especially on elevated land like the
hills tn question. Thousands OF monstrous oaks,
chestnuts, hickorles and pines, and acres of val
liable ship timber have already been con-
sumed and the flames are unabated. Like pail
over the whole region rest heavy and Sitting
clouds OF smoke. Workmen recently employed In
the woods cutting timber for market have been
obliged to retire from the presence OF the fire
nend, and the whole region, more than five miles
long aud three miles wide, Is becoming tract or
blackened stumps, smouldering fires and debris.
The cracKle and crash of the trees as they burn
and fall may be heard for long distance. The
loss is great and may be reckoned at thousands
Oh dollars.
THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE
was accidental. week ago number Of men were
at work among the charcoal pits which abound
among the Blue Hills. In some way the sparks
from the pits fell among the dry leaves and the
light wood OF the forest. Flames soon started
In several places, and, strong southeasterlv

progressed, increasing tn size the devasted tract
and last night 1t had attained to an appalling
magnitude. 1t seemed at one time as II the entire
mountain was on fire. The sky in all directions,
IL being clear night was lurcd with the reffec-
tiOn the light being distinctly seen in this city.
In Wangford and Meriden the Illumination was
intense The land itself is rot valuable except Tor
the timber which 1t produces, but this alone
makes the worth and consequent loss very great.
Last night hundreds Of people visited and gazed
with awe upon the magnificent but
TERRIBLE SPECTACLE.
The wind last night changed ana blew in north
ery direction, out rhe fires were thereby IN no.
wise abated. The tract thus far burned Is not less
than 10000 acres in extent, and the flames to-day
are making rapid progress toward the town OF
Kenslngton, which they must reach within few
hours unless checked
At six O'Clock ?. M. fires were raging in the woods
west OF the Milford depot on the New Haven road,
and fires had also caught near the track between
Cos Cob and Greenwich. Last night many acres
were burned over between StratfOrd and Milford
stations. These were caused by the burning Wads
from the guns OF sportsmen. 1t is alleged that
boys, whose education has been neglected in no
regard except as relates to the proper use or
luclIer Matches have had something to do with
n these fires.
