Hon. F. A. Potts and Messrs Groome,
Arthur, Bliss, Clarke, and English, special
committee of the New York Board of Trade,
met last week to consider the new postal law
and the increased rates of postage on news
papers and parcels. Communications had
been invited, and several were received from
merchants in this city, in which the writers
claimed that their expenditures had been in
creased by the new law by sums varying from
$500 to $4,000. The committee made an ap-
pointment with Postmaster James, and next
week will proceed to Washington to confer
with the Postmaster General lii regard to the
repeal of the present law as soon as Congress
shall meet.--American Newspaper Reporter

" FoR TIE PUBLIC COOP. IA correspon-
dent of the Clinton Democrat gives the fol-
lowing evidence in relation to the blessings of
licensing the sale Of liquor:
FoR THE PUBLIC COCOON Wednesday
of last week Charley Lake, living near Ham
den, went to Frenchtown and became badly
intoxicated. Toward evening, with assist
ance, he was placed on wagon loaded with
lime, belonging to Mr.. Judson Hoff, and
driven by Jonas Fleming, to ride to Hoff's
house, near st. Thomas Church. About
three miles from Frenchtown he fell out of
the wagon, striking his head in some way,
either against the brake or the Wheel SO as to
cut O semi-circular cash above his right ear,
five and quarter inches in length, through
the scalp to the bone. The posterior branch
of the middle temporal artery was served, to-
gether with several of its small rami6cations
Fleming, being unable to lift him on the wag-
on without help, hurried home with his lime
some three miles--and returned. with two
men in another wagon. They took him. to
Mr.. Hoff's house and called in a Yisy$iR:aps
BY this time he was SO much exhausted from
loss of blood as to be pulseless at the wrist
part of the time, with GOODNESS of the surface
and general collapse. After being stimulated
very carefully for while, sufficient reaction
took place for him to bear the cleansing and
stitching Of the wound. There is some pros
pect of his recovery. - a.3
He says he got his whiskey at Fluck's
Tavern. If the citizens of Frenchtown deem
IT necessary for the public good " to legalize
tavern that turns out this kind of work,
they ought to confinc it's benefits to their
Borough, and pay all expenses. 1t is unfair
that the liquor-seler should be paid for his
whisky, and physician have to render, with
out compensation, some thirty or forty dollars
worth of professional services to rescue a
victim from its consequence. KY.

Human Saliva Kills
Snakes.

The Marietta (Ga.) Journal
was told by q gentleman the other
day that human spittle was as
deadly to poisonous snakes as
their bites we're deadly to man.
He says while picking up a bun
die OF straw and trash under his
arm, while cleaning a fed, q
ground rsttlesnake, four feet long,
erawled out from it and fell to the
ground at his feet. He at once
placed his heel upon the head of
the snake and spit in its mouth.
Shortly afterward the snake show
ed symptoms of inactivity and
sickness, and he picked it up by
its tail and carried it to the house
and showed it to his wife, telling
her be had spit in its mouth and
that it was poisoned. At the ex-
piration of fifteen minutes the
snake was dead. To further ex,
pertinent, he came across blow
ing adder (snake), which elected
from its mouth yellowish liquid.
lie caught it and Spitin its mouth,
and it died. He caught another
blowing, and it refused to open its
mouth. He spit upon a stick, and
rubbed it on the adder's nose, and
it died. Afterward he came a.
cross black snake, regarded as
not poisonous, and he caught it
and spit in its mouth, Instead
of the spitlle killing the black
snake, as it did the poisonous rep,
tiles, it only made it stupidity sick,
from which it recovered. This
conclusively shows that poisonous
snakes have as much to fear from
the spittle OF man, as man has to
tear from their bites.

Sheep VS.. Dogs.

In every grange q record
should be kept of members who
have sheep and no dogs, and in
parallel column, such as have
dogs and no sheep. This is a
portion of the Grange cate
chism in portions of Georgia,
and ought to be adopted else
where.
Thus talks the GAINESVILLE
Chronicle, and it is earnestly
hoped the Oranges will put the
suggestion into practice else
where. In a crowd of POO peo-
pie, lately gathered together,
upon count being taken, it
was found that they Owned 203
dogs and 81 sheep. Is it posi-
bic they love sausage better
than mutton, or that dog hair is
worth more than wool?
The inquiry comes up from
every direction for more sheep;
and l am satisfied sheep raising
will be one Of our best paying
enterprises if they will but 60
TO work with the right kind Of
sheep and the right spirit and
attention. Let us have reports
from every Grange in the state,
30 that we may be able to show
exactly how the account stands
between the dogs and the sheep;
and let our people realize what
they are doing and what they
ought to do, not that they love
dogs less, but that they love
sheep more.
In the Agricultural Conven-
ton at Dalton, GA, "Mr. John
son called upon all present who
owned sheep and no dogs to
rise, and Ii rose up; and called
upon all who owned dogs and
no sheep to rise, and sixty or

How a Kentuckian Took
the Bees.

Enoch Royalty OF Anderson
county discovered a bee tree a few
days ago, in large poplar. The
bees had found a hollow one hun.
bred and seven feet from the root
of the tree, which they had taken
possession of and filled with honey.
Enoch thought it would be a rich
prize, SO he adopted the following
mode of securing it: Commencing
near the ground, he bored a large
auger hole at height he could
reach, in which be put a strong
pin; on this side he sat and bored
another at convenient distance
above, in which he drove another
pin, and proceeded in this way
until he reached the height of one
hundred and seven feet, where he
deliberately cut off the top of the
tree. He then possessed himself
of the honey, rich In quantity and
quality, secured the bees, and de-
scended safely TO the ground. He
proposes to make another similar
and more adventurous conquest in
a short time. Above Oregon, on
the Kentucky river, there is a
cliff two hundred feet high, and at
the height of one hundred feet
there is evidently an immense bee
home, where the bees have been
at work from time to which he
memory of man runneth not back
to the contrary. Enoch says that's
bis meat, and before the season is
over he intends to have it,

A Terrible Ride.

Says the Placer (Cal.) Her.
aid: a feat unparalleled in
modern history was performed
recently by e. POlifka, a prom
inent resident of Michigan
Biuff. This is how it came a.
bout: He had been over to For
est Hill in a buggy on business.
The team he drove was not con-
sidered perfectly gentle. Con-
sequently, when he returned,
and desired to unhitch, young
man in his employ was SIM
moned to loosen the tugs, tie
up the reins, ETC., while he Po-
! lif ka) stood at the horses heads
to prevent any fractions capers,
as he supposed. But, alas for
human strength, and even hui
man ingenuity, when brought
to combat with the fiery deter
mination of an untamed steed.
No sooner had the boy laid his
! hands on one of the traces for
the purpose of freeing the ami
mails from the vehicle, than they,
becoming frightened, gave ter
Irible bound. In their forward
move, the buggy tongue which
protruded some six or eight
inches through the neckyoke,
was run between Polif ka's legs.
By it he was lifted off his feet,
| in which position he found HIM
self powerless to check the fly
, ing steeds as he would be to
raise himself over fence by
the straps Of his boots. All
purchase was lost, and, steady
ing himself by the bit rein
which he held tightly in either
hand, with back to the front.
| legs between the horses and
face to the rear, he was carried
through the streets Of Michigan
Bluff like a whirlwind, TO the
great CONSERVATION Of the pop
ulace. Fortunately the ride was
short, for, coming to a place
where one Of the horses had
been previously stabbed, they
checked their speed sufficiently
for the daring rider to get his
feet on terra frnaa, when des-
perateIy throwing himself a
gainst the bits, he soon brought
the horses once more to a stand
still. Now that it is all over,
and no one was hurt it seems
rather amusing than otherwise;
though, seriously, Polifka, who
is as clever a man as ever lived,
ran a very narrow escape Of be-
ing dashed to pieces. And
though We can hardly suppress
smile when we think of him
being carried through the air on
the end Of buggy-tongue, we
congratulate him on his safe and
sound deliverance.
