lie VALUE OF A NEWSPAPER
The following is the experience of q
mechanic concerning the benefit of
newspaper
Ten years ago l lived in town in
Indiana. On returning homo one
night, for am carpenter by trade,
| saw littio girl leave nay door, and
| asked my wife who she was. She
said Mrs Harris had sent hor after
their newspaper, which my wife had
borrowed. AS we sat down 10 tea
my wife SAID to me by namc:
I'll wish you would subscribe for the
nowspaper it is so much comfort to
mo when you arc away from home"
l would like to do So" said [,
"but you know owe payment on
the house and lot. 1t will bo all 1
can do to meet it,"
She replied, "It you will take this
paper, | will sew for tho tailor to pay
for it,"
l subscribed for the paper, it came
in due time to the shop. While rest
ing ono noon and looking over it, [
saw an advertisement of the County
Commissioners to let bridge that
was to he built. | put in n bid for
the bridge, and tho job was awarded
to mo and on which / cleared $500,
which enabled mo to pay for my house
and lot easily, and for tho nowspapor
should not havo known anything
about the contract, and could not
have met my conduct on tho house
and lot. A mechanic ncvor loses by
taking newspaper.

The School Fund Apporticnment.

Tho following table is published by
tho Columbia Union~Herald to show
the exact share of each County in
the State appropriation for Public
Schools. Somo Counties do not get
as much as they did last year, while
some get more. This is due to the
tact that the money is opportioncd to
the Counties on the basis of the school
attendance. Those Counties in which
the average attendance was less than
last year do not, therefore, receive so
largo share Of the fund:

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Tho
House Committee on Patents to day
reported adversely on tho application
OF A. b. Wilson for an extension of
his patent for sewing machines. This
is celebrated and valuable "four mo.
tion feed," now used by Wheeler &
Wilson and othor machines. Tho ap.
plication has boen before Congress for
several years, and protests against
the extension have been received
during that time signed by nearly
ono million persons. All of the small
sowing machine companies, which
had been required to pay q heavy
royalty to the Sowing Machine Com
bination," composed of the four leads
ing machines, have fought tho oxton-
sion savagcly since it was originally
presented. This refusal will ultimate-
ly roduco the price Observing machines
very greatly, as soon as the four
motion feed becomes public property.
The committee say that the applicant
has already made two or three large
fortunes out of his invention, and that
it is now time to give the public o
chance. The testimony taken before
the committee shows that the cost of
sowing machines is not more than
from twelve to fifteen dollars.

Tho committee was full and the vote
unanimous.
Resolved, that in the opinion of this
committee, tho several Congressional
Districts of the United States ought to
be composed Of contiguous territory,
and near as may be equal population,
and whereas it appears that district
in tho State OF South Carolina is COM
posed OF counties not contiguous, it is
the unanimous opinion of this com :
mittco that the Legislature of that
State, now in session, ought to redis-
trict the State in conformity with the

The New York Herald says, the
eIec' ion Of Democratic House OF
Representatives in 1874 now proves
to be a national blessing. Not that
the Democratic party is the custo :
dian OF the honor of tho country, but
that the existence of a powerful op-
position in Congress is necessary to
honest administration. Would q Re
publican House have investigated
the corruptions of the War Depart
mont? Never. Party pride pro-
hibited the admission that inquiry
was needed.

LOUISVILLE, March 10.-On Friday
last most wonderful phenomenon
occurred at point in Bath county,
Kentucky, two miles from Mud Lick
Springs. AT the time, two p. M, the
heavens wero bright, the sun was
shining and only few floating clouds
wero visible. Suddenly there ap-
peared light cloud over tho farm of
MIR. Crouch, which seemed descend
ing upon the earth. 1t hung over
head few brief moments and then
something white fell to the carth.-
The fall continued ten minutes Men
and women then went out and exam
ined the flakes, and discovered thom
to be flesh, resembling mutton. Whom
picked UP they quivorod. A space
200 by 100 yards in oxtent was COW
cred, and u number of trees, fences,
&c, were also full of the strange sub.
stance. Stains like those produced
by blood in its secondary condition
marked spots whore the flakes had
touched.
Drovcs of chickens and hogsswarm.
cd around the place and ate the flesh
with great gusto. Tho inhabitants
for miles around camo for several
days aftcrward and collected spcci
mems. Hundreds arc willing to tcsti-
fy by affidavit to tho truth of the en-
tiro matter.
Captain Bent, we'll known retired
attorney of Mount Sterling, gave the
Courier Journal reporter somo flakes
TO night, and Tho lattor placed thom
in charge Of Professor J. Lawrence
Smith, a scientist, who will examine
them to morrow Ho says the subs
stance is of an ANIMAL nature. Whom
tho flakes fell they were from the size
OF pea to that of human fngcr,and
an eighth inch in thick ness, and of
the color of flesh. Thoy have since
assumed II dull rcd and white huo,
and arc somewhat wlthorcd. n butch.
CT ate one flake and pronounced 1t
very palatable, but was unable TO say
what kind of an animal the flesh came
from. The inhabitants of the locality
whore the phenomenon occurred APP
preached the flesh with superstitious
awe, and at first would not touch it.
Mr. II. Gill, of Mud Lick.Springs, pros
cured number of specimens and
preserved them for scientific examin-
alton.
