Seven Hundred Sheen Frightened
to Death.

to Death.
Last week we mentioned the loss of
a large number of sheep in the hills
back of Mission San Jose, belonging
to Mr. Ashurst, but was misinformed
as to the mode of their death. It was
not by rushing down a precipiee, but
in another and most singular way that
the misfortune occurred. The sheep,
to the number of about $500, were
quietly feeding on hill about three
miles east of Mission San Jose on Sun
day afternoon, July 4, when a man
who had been a short time working
for the owners of the sheep, suddenly
uttered a loud yell, which had the et-
feet of frightening the sheep. They
Immediately commenced running down
hill as fast as they could. At or near
the bottom of the hill, large patch of
poison oak was growing, and they
rushed pell nell into it. Here their
| legs got so entangled that they could
not move. Meanwhile the others be-
hind came rushing down upon them,
until they were piled in layers, six
deep, one upon the other. OF course
the most of them were soon suffocated
and dead.
One of the owners came to the spot
within ten minutes afterward, and with
the aid of Spaniard succeeded in pull
ling out and rescuing about fifty head.
But the number that lost their lives in
this strange way was 700 in all. 1t is
supposed that the yell given by the
hired man was done for the purpose of
starting the sheep off to camp.

The Medicine that Cures

Taking into consideration the character of it's
vouchers, the history of its cures and the i'm
mense increasing demand. Veget1ne may be fair
ly entitleds the leading medicine of the age.
For Scrofula in the blood Vegetine is an infal-
lible remedy, and no person need suffer from tu-
mors, ulcers, and all diseases arising from i'm
pure blood. il vegetine is used according to di-
rections. There is not case of scrofula in ex-
istence that Vegetine will not cure, provided,
however, the vital functions have not lost their
power of action, all that may be said to the con-
trary notwithstanding.

Silent Romance of a London
Street.


Norfolk street, Strand, has a curl
Gus commemorative monument. An
observant spectator will notice that
the first floor windows of a large house
at the corner of Howard street pre-
sents a peculiar appearance. The
shutters are up, and they are covered
thickly with dust, while through the
chinks can be seen the blinds, also
thick with dust, and moldering away
with age. Those shutters and blinds
have been in exactly the same position,
untouched, for about fifty years. Dur
ing that time no human foot, it is be-
lieved, has entered that room. And
the reason is this:
Fifty years ago certain nobleman
was engaged to be married; the DAY
was fixed, the wedding morning ar
rived, the breakfast was laid out in
that spacious and handsome room, the
bridegroom was ready to proceed to
the church, when it was discovered
that the bride was missing; note IN
handwriting was found addressed
to the bridegro0m, briefly informing
him that she had eloped that morning
with his "best man. gay and gallant
captain of dragons. The Tilted bride
groom did not say much, but he went
alone to the room in which the wed
ding breakfast was laid out, with his
own hands put up the shutters and
drew the blinds, locked the door and
took the key. He gave orders that
the door should be nailed up and
, barred with padlocked bars, and that
: no one should enter the room again.
When the house was let it was stipu
lated that the room in question should
2 remain untouched, and sum of tive
hundred pounds per annum was pai6
to the tenant to compensate him fol
o the deprivation of the use ofthe room
The nobleman has been dead som'
r years, but it is believed the room has
r never been entered since the day III
r closed it, and there are the wedding
meats moldering away, and the Orna
p ments crumbling into dust in the fu
t neral gloom.

How a .soorners is Managed.

A 3 and C combine their means and
credits to make corner in July. They
therefore quietly begin in May to buy
corn to be delivered in July. They
gradually buy all the corn in the mar
ket, and, of necessity, must buy all
that arrives, paying for the latter what.
ever IS demanded. When purchase
is thus made, seller and buyer put up
a margin, either in cash, or certificate.
or deposit. As soon as the corner he
comes known, there is an effort made
to break it. The settlement takes
place at y. m. on the last day of the
month. Those who have sold corn to
the corner and have no corn to deliv-
or, pay the difference between th eprice
at which they sold, and the ruling
price at the close of business on the
last day. AS the corner has thus pur
chased sometimes Eve times rs much
corn as there is TO be had, amounting
to millions of bushels, and the price
has advanced ten cents bushel, the
profit is enormous. As the prices ad-
vance, additional margins are required.
Those failing to put up the additional
margins, lose what they have already
put up. The anti,corncr faticious seek
to so crowd sales on the corner as to
exhaust its capital and credits, and
render it unable to buy at the advance
prices. Thus, the corner is compelled
to send oRt in the country and buy
for cash all the corn in sight, to pre-
vent having it rushed into Chicago at
the last moment. These are exciting
times. Corn at such a moment may be
purchss of the corner for shipment,
from six to fifteen cents q bushel less
than. it is selling for on Change for
delivery during the menth. Each time
there corner, there is q crash,
sometimes of the corner men, and at
other times of the anti corner men. The
whole proceedings are of such ques-
tionable honeRty, that the Legislature
of Illinois has declared the operation
of corner to be>s felony. 1t is new
ertheless still practfGed. Corners are
attempted in wheat, oats, barley, pork
and lard, and some of them have been
quite successful in pecuniary way.
It requires nerve, audacity, aRd money

into a corner, issuing its certifcates> OF

and so did the bank, and the certifi-
