Does Buckwheat Poison sheep2

A farmer of Kent County, England, at
the close of the dry, hot summer of 1870
had 378 lambs on his farm, which, in con-
sequence of the drought and failure of
the grass crop, was heavily overstooked.
These lambs were, at the close of the
season, in very poor condition, and, to
bring them up again, were placed upon
field of buckwheat. They soon began
to show signs of giddiness, and even in
toxication, fighting and butting each
other in very unlamblike manner.
Soon their faces, heads, and especially
their ears, were covered with ulcers.
The eyelids swelled In many cases, caus-
ing total blindness, and in others the
eyes were totally destroyed by ulcera-
tion. A copious discharge of pulveru-
lent mucus from the nose, swollen lips
and cessation of appetite marked the
course of the disease. The sun and the
flies began TO terrify the afflicted ami
mails, and several deaths occurred. That
the disease was not variola was shown
by the fact that there was no eruption
inside the thighs or on other hairless
spots. OF fifty-seven lambs not placed
in the buckwheat-feld not one was af.
fected; all were perfectly healthy. To
test the contagiousness of the disease
several affected rams we're turned into
the same inclosure with perfectly sound
ewes, and no trace OF disease

Fix the Dates.

WE fear that Congressman Hewitt's
zeal to defend Gov. Tilden will result as
disastrously to himself as did his efforts
to defend the emasculation of records on
the Brooklyn rings bridge books. He
has gone so far in his defense of Tilden
as to say:
"In regard to the insinuations con-
Meeting Gov. Tllden's name with that Of
William M. Tweed, he (Mr. Hewitt) said
that Tilden had, for more than three
years, like hound on the scent, followed
the members of the ring patiently, Sc
cretly, diligently. lie knew Mr.. Tilden's
untiring efforts day and night; he knew
how he had tracked these people to their
dens of iniquity, and finally dragged
them forth TO public execration."
The "dens" to which Mr. Tilden
tracked Tweed must have been the Tam
many Committee, of which they were
both officers Also the Legislature,
where Tweed was Chairman Of COM
mittee, and where he bought Legislators
like cattle in the shambles," and enacted
bills which Hoffman, the Governor, TO
whom Tweed and Tilden caused TO be

Do you not know that Tweed escaped
through the connivance of a Democratic
Sheriff in New York, and that as Gov.
ernor you had the power to remove that
Sheriff. Have you removed him?
Did you earn your vast fortune in the
legitimate practice of law, or did you
earn it as the representative of the stock
iobbers of Wall street,
Did you not send John Morrissey, ths
celebrated gambler, to st. Louis, as the
especial representative of your interests
in the convention, and is he not, with al
his friends-the short boys, the ballot
box suffers and roughs of New York
and the KuKlux gangs in the South
earnestly supporting your claims to the
Presidency on the ground of reform9
Mr.. Tilden, you wrote letter of &C
ceptance. Did you not purposely OBJ
scure your views so that common people
could not understand them, and were yol
not in the attitude of distinguished
gentleman who once answered an ugl,
question, which he desired to dodge, il
the following lucid manner:
"Sir, can l close my eyes to the ever
varying exigenCios of the CONSTANT,
changing circumstances"-is not thi
about the English of your letter.
When Mr.. Tilden has truthfully an
swered these questions, the American
people will be prepared to decide hi
case.
Now, does the Democratic party prom
Use anything good, the fulfillmcnt o
which is justified by its record, or by tn
character of its candidates, or by tn
utterances of its leaders?
Is it reliable guarantee to the Amer

that there are $S0,000,000 of Souther
claims on file in the different department
of Government?

To Keep Sweet Potatoes.

Ihave found the following plan to be
successful in this part of the country;
First dig yourpotatoes and let them lay
in the sun until they are dry. Second,
have ready pit sufficiently large to hold
what potatoes you wish to keep over.
Put in the bottom of the pit six inches
of straw, and then put in your potatoes
the same as you would pit Irish potatoes,
and cover them slightly with straw, and
let stay three or four days, until they &c
through the sweat" then put on more
straw and light covering of dirt. AS
the weather gets colder put ON more
cover, enough to keep them warm.
/ have kept my potatoes in that way
for a number of years, and never failed
The potatoes should not be allowed tc
touch the earth. Keep straw and chat
tucked around the sides of the pit.-A
