ONEor EvARTs' SENTENCES. The Hon,
John A. Bingham, who formerly repre-
scented our over the river neighbors in
Congress, SAID Of Eyarts' speech at the
impeachment trial OF Andrew Johnson,
that the moral Of it was this-to make

She worshiped, and whose purity and

.ruE Star. of Wilmington, N. C.

The Star, of Wilmington, N. C.,
publishes a curious story from one of
the inland counties. 1t is to the effect
that a man aud wife went away from
home for day leaving their children
in charge of negro girl. On their re-
turn the four children lay dead on the
floor. and on the table WAS q half eaten
cabbage. The girl said that the chill
dren had eaten the cabbage, and soon
after were seized with commissions and
vomiting, and died. The horror
stricken parents suspected, of course,
that the servant had poisoned the
children, and insisted that she should
eat some of the cabbage. She willingly
complied, and partook heartily. A
few minutes after eating, she also died.
The father then investigated the vegeta-
ble and found in the heart of it small
rattlesnake, boiled TO death. The
Star does not youch for the truth of
the story, bat says that it was told by
a reliable countryman, who, however,
coald not remember the names of the
alleged victims of the dead rattlesnake.

[ From Springfield LII. journal, 14th.l
The application of maidstone,
as ii is termed, as cure for the
bite of mad-dog, Is not an I'M
common occurrence in this section
and there are believed to be seve-
raj mad-stones in this State, TIVE
of which-0ne ow ned by Mr.. Sam
uel Tribe, of Pisa, Mac0upin coun-
ty, and the other by Mr.. j. p. Kv-
ans, of Lincoln-are frequently
called in requisition to remove the
virus resulting from a mad-dog's
bite, and not a few cures of cases
of hydrophobia have been reported
as resulting from the application of
the stone. A recent instance is
furnished in the case of Mr.. J. G..
Crouch, a well-known citizen of
Rochester, in this county, who was
bitten last Friday by little curly
dog.
Mr.. Crouch subsequently noticed
that the dog had peculiar look,
being green about the eyes.and he
quickly parted company with the
brute. The bite, which was on the
forefnger of the lett hand, he re-
garded as q slight affair, however,
until the next day, when the hand
became badly swollen and the
wound very painful. Mrs. Crouch
was alarmed and persuaded her
husband to go to Lincoln and have
the maidstone applied. On Mon
day Mr.. Crouch, his wound still
being very painful, went to Lin
coin and the stone was applied by
Mr.. Evans the same afternoon. 1t
at once adhered to the wound so
firmly that it could scarcely be
shaken of, until it had apparently
extracted such portion of the virus
as Its porous nature could contain.
After being soaked in warm and
in cold water the stone was applied
again, and the operation repeated
at intervals until yesterday after
noon, as long as it would adhere.
When it would no longer attach
itself to the wound, Mr.. Evans pro-
nounced the cure complete. The
stone was applied to other fresh
wounds upon Mr.. Crouch's hand,
but would only adhere to the
wounds resulting from the dog
bite. When the stone became fully
charged with the virus it would of
itself drop off the wound,apd emit
ted very offensive odor. The VII
rus was of ii dark green color Mr..
Crouch returned home last even
ing, well pleased with the resultof
his visit His wound now looks
like mere scratch, and he says is
without pain. He is gentleman
of prominence in Rochester, ofun-
doubted veracity.

Damage by the Missouri.

[ From The Atchison Champion, 11th.l
Few people comprehended the
destruction the recent rise in. the
Muddy Missouri is working be-
tween this city and Leavenworth.
Acre upon acre of the most fertile
and well-improved farms are melt
ing away like frost under noon
day sun, and many of the thrifty
farmers on both sides of the stream
will soon find themselves landless
and homeless, and the turbid, tur-
bulent stream sweeping over the
spot which has caused them so
much toll and trouble to improve:
A few miles from Iatan the.picture
presented is truly distressing. The
raging current strikes directly
across from the western tolthe east
ern shore, and for full a mile the
green wheat-felds have been eat
en- into and swept away and still
the work Of destruction goes or
On the western side, and bat a
short distance below AtchIson,
cornfie'ds have been undermined.
Near Leavenworth, on the line of
the Missouri Pacific, one land
owner declares of a fine farm of
forty-fve beautiful acre., seeded in
wheat, scarcely fifteen now re-
mainland even that is disappearing
at rate that threatens total WHIP
ing out, and in many places the
channel is so changed that old riv-
err pilots are non-plussed to pick
out a safe course. AS this jambo-
rec OF the Missouri is merely Incl
dental and preliminary to the great
June rise, which all old river men
predict when the mountain SHOWS
begin to dissolve, we hardly know
what will become of the Bottom
Lands when the stream is at foo
tide.

Sorrow for Gray Hairs.

Frank Jones, aged 16, and Ar
thur Hackett, aged Is, two runa-
way boys from Lake City, Mimi.
on the way to their Black Hills of
California, reached La Crosse, Wis /,
last Saturday. Monday evening
they were detained by the chief of
police on eceipt ola telegram from
the parents of the boys. Tuesday
morning young Jones, who had
committed some petty offence be-
fore leaving home, and had eX-
pressed himself as preferring to die
rather than return home, while at
the police Office shot himself
through the head with a pistol.
The ball entered the base of the
brain. The parents of the boys are
both highly respected citizens of
Lake City.

A Father Witnesses the
Drowning of his Little
DaUgnfer.

From the Albany IN. w 4rgus.]
Between and 8 O'Clock Monday
morning, while three boys and a
little girl-and eight year old
daughter of Silas G. Eldridge, of
Petersburg,-were rowing across
the Hoosick river from Mr.. Ell
drige's residence TO the district
school house opposite, the boat was
upset. The boys clung to it and
were saved, but the little girl was
carried down the stream and was
drowned. The river is about TWEEN
ty yards wide, and just now is un-
usually deep and swift by reason
of the spring freshet. The saddest
part of the affair is that Mr.. Ell
bridge stood on the shore watching
the boat, awaiting its arrival,
when the casualty occurred, his
daughter drowning before his very
eyes and he helpless to save her.

Vacant Farms in New Eng
land.

A Boston paper says: There are
many farms in our hill towns cap
able of yielding fair crops and
quite far from being exhausted,
which are cultivated inadequately
or not at all, and which could be
bought or rented at very low rates.
There are farms in this states no
great distance from Boston, which
can be bought to-day for little
more than it cost to erect the bull
dings which stand ON them. Yet
these very farms can be made to
yield a lucrative return to suitable
cultivation.

A retired liquor dealer of Vermont,
whose sands of life have, nearly run
out, believingTsthat open confession
is good for the soul, tells how he
converted himself into a travelling
rum shop a few years ago by wearing
a tin vessel made to fit the body un-
der his clothing, and having rubber
tube attachment through which he
could draw glass of whisky at plea
sure. He states that he found it eX-
ceedingiy useful at agricultural fairs,
and subsequently ue says he frequent
ly sat at his own door and sold liquor
to the passers-by while officers were
searching his premises for whisky.
Vessels similar to the one described
have been in use by the smugglers on
the Canadian border for years. A
few years since a ''smuggleress' was
arrested, and on her We're found, next
to the person, a number of tin vessels
containing in all about five gallons of
spirit,ts frulnenti.
