A man in Montana a short tlme
ago, squatted on another persons
land and built a small frame shantv.
When requested to move, he posi>
lively refused to do so; so one night
a squad of men came around, after
the squatter and his wife were
asleep, and lifting the whole con
Germ, shaDty and all, carried it to
the river and set it on a small raft.
Then they pushed the raft out into
the stream and let her 60. When
the sQuatter got up in tho morning
to go out, he was surprised to find
himself about sixty miles down the
stream, and making good time in a
nine-knot current. This is all we
shall say about that man. 1t would
be extremely improper to report his
remarks in full in this paper.

decency.
The Hedgehog lives on mice,

ture. Don't kill the hedgehog.
The Toad, farm assistant;destroys
from twenty 20 thirty insects an
hour. Don't kill the toad.
The Mole;is continually destroy.
ing grubs, (vers blancs) Larvae, pal.
ner worms, and insects injurious to
agriculture. No trace of vegetation
Is ever found in it's stomache. Does
more good than harm. Don't kill
the mole.
The May Bug and its larvA or
grub, mortal enemy of agriculture;
lays from seventy to eighty eggs.
Kill the May bug.
Birds Each department loses
several millions annually through
insects. Birds are the only enemies
able to contend against them victo-
riously. They are great caterpillar
killers and agricultural assistants.
Children, don't disturb their nests.
1t would be we'll for cur farmers
to read and think of thish. Tousands
and thousands of birds are destroyed
each year out of mere wantonness.
This should net be. In every orchard
should be built and placed artihcial
nests, gourds or old boxes IN which
the birds can habit aud not only the
orchard, but the neighboriag fields

A SMALL POX REMEDY.

The following statement of cores
pondent of the Stockton (Cal) Herald
has been going the rounds of the pa
pers. An ex Californian says he has
seen it tested with entire success. We
reproduce it, therefore, for what it is
worth:
L herewith append a receipt which
has been used, to my knowledge, in
hundreds OF cases. 1t will prevent or
cure the small pox, though the pittings
are filling. When Jenner discovered
cow-pox in England the world of sci
ence hurled an avalanche of fame up
on his head: but when the most seien-
titic school of medicine in world-that
of Paris-published this receipt as a
panacea for small pox it passed un-
needed. 1t is as unfailing as fate, and
conquers in every instance. Ii is
harmless when taken by a we'll person
1t will also cure scarlet fever. Here is
the receipt as have used it to cure my
children of the scarlet fever; here it is
as l have used it to cure small pox: !:
when learned physicians said the pa.
tient must die, it cured: Sulphate of
zinc, oLe grain; fox-glove (digitalis)
one grain; half a ateaspoonfuls of water
When thoroughly mixed add four
ounces of wafer. Take a spoonful
evry hour. Either disease will disap-
pear in twelve hours. For a child.
smaller doses. according to age. If
counties would compel their physicians
to use this there would be no need of
pest houses. IL you value advice and
experience, use this for that terrible
disease.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
PoIitieal-A Reform Inrideut.
NEw YORK, July II, 1876.
DAU UrpUnAI

POLITICAL.
The Democracy of New York are
the sickest set of men that ever lived.
The nomination of slippery Sammy"
does not strike them at all favorably,
and they have, at this early day, given
up all hope of eleeting him. The fact
is, they see that the American people
are not ready, as yet, to place the
government in hands of man so soak
ed in corruption, so utterly undeserv-
ing of confidence as the Democracy, as
it is now constituted. Some row will
be made to carry the congressional
tickets and local officers, and some
powder will be burnt, in consequence,
over the presidential nominees; but no
one has any idea that Tilden will be
elected. Betting men are Offering odds
that Hayes will carry New York, and
they find no takers. The decent por-
tiop of tie Democracy have got tired
of spending their money for the pur-
pose of placing spectators in the best
offices, and hordes of unnaturalized
Irish in the minor places. The busi-
nessmen of the city know that Tilden's
nomination was the result of barg-
ain between his supporters and the in
fiationists of the West, and although
there is a decentralization in the Demo-
cratic camp that Is ve.y encouraging
TO those who want good government.
And speaking Of political matters, /
wish every Republican in the United
States could see the Sunday Demo
cTGt paper which Tilden's money
supports, and which is the organ of
the Irish end of the party, To make
sure of the support of the Irish Demo
Gratis, il has portrait of Herman the
nominator of Tilden, right over a
prominent portrait of Tilden, with this
inscription, "a Catholic statesmen,
Senator Herman, the nominator of
Gov Tilden." This is bid for the sup

them that Tilden is fairly in their
hands, and that, in the event of his
election, they will, in national matters,
have the same consideration from that
they have always had from him in the
other positions he has filed Without
the Irish Catholic vote ia this city. the
Democracy is nothing, 10 get it the
Catholic church must be coneiliated in
the most substantial manner. The
gorgeous catherdals, churches monas-
tiers and converts, all on ground which
Democratic politicians filehed from the
city for them, and more than half
supported by the grants from the
public treasury, attest the price the
Democracy has paid for their votes.

only confident, but are entirely JUDI
LIANT. The nomination of Hayes and
