FoR THE EAsT.-Del. Mathewsou, the
well-kpown book-keeper for D. C. Clark
& Bro, leaves Phoebe on Friday mcrn-
ing next, first for San Francisco. and
after a short stay there on to Fishkill. on
the Hudson river, where his relatives re-
side. He will also in September, when
it is cool and agreeable, take in the Gem
tennial Exhibition az Philadelphia. Del.
will be absent two months, as the firm
who employ him cannot spare him any
longer The ladies engaged in decorat-
ing Browns Hall yesterday made two
very pretty wreaths of evergreens with
the monogram initials OF his name in
each i'll honor of his departure and as a
slight testimonial of their appreciation
of him. We wish Del. pleasant trip
and hope he will find the " old folks" at
home enjoying good health.
CHINA Waive observed a specimen
of Chinese warfare yesterday on Main
street, adjoining the house of Hook and
Ladder Company. One Chinamsu with
blue blouse was showed out of the wash
house by some of the insiders who did
show themselves outside of the house.
The repulsed returned again to the
charge. when he received punch in the
short ribs with q stick which caused him
to double up and beat a retreat down
Main street. The rumpus brought out a
larger number of men on Main street
than we supposed were IN Phoebe.
PAY-DAYs.-The advent of payday OF
the Raymond & Ely mine heretofore was

noticed, and lAstead of a flow OF money
but very few discover any difference be-
tween that and any other day in the
month.

Singular Case.


Two fatal cases of blood poisoning
have occurred in Liverpool, which will,
unfortunately, strengthen the preju-
dices of the ignorant against vacclna-
ton. Two fine healthy children fell i'll
soon after vaccination by the public
vaccinator, and died. The only explain
alton suggested was that the " atmos-
pheric causes arising from the peculi-
arities of the neighborhood and the
houses in which the children resided
might have in consequence of the vac
suited in death" The jury returned a
verdict to the oct that the children
had died from the effects py@mia,
consequent upon vaccination skillfully
performed and from a good source, but
what were the precise causes leading to
the blood poisoning, the medical evil
J dence did not enable the jury to say.

Staggers and Indigestion.

This disease is thus treated by the
agricultural editor of the New York
Times:
It is known as staggers" or con-
gestion Of the brain, resulting from in
digestion, and distention of the
stomach and bowels. It is often called
stomach staggers, and frequently oc-
ours when horses not subject to indi-
gestion are over fed with grain or green
food. The only proper treatme nt is to
relieve the bowels by purge Of half an
ounce of powdered aloes in warm wa
ter, or % pint of linseed oil, Or an in
lection of warm soap and water with q
handful of salt. Afterward to feed the
horses very cautiously, giving only the
lightest and best feed, namely, sound
timothy hay, cut, moistened, and mix
ed with oats and rye ground together;
half a tablespoonful of salt and tea
spoonful of ginger should be given in
each feed. A drachm of sulphate of
iron in each feed for week would be
of use. Care must also be ia ken to give
water in small quantities, but often,
aud always to treat the horses SO that
the stomach may never be overloaded
or overworked. If this is neglected
there is danger that on some occasions
a fatal attack may occur.

Tar on Fruit Trees,

A correspondent of the Agricultural
Department, writing from Montgomery
county, North Carolina, says: Gao
cording to the experience of Mr.. Henry
Reynolds of this county, tar is a perfect
remedy for SCARED and sun cracked
apple trees. He says that by coating
with new tar the trunk of favorite
frult-bearer that was cracked and SO
decayed that the bark was dead and
would peel off, he has restored it fully.
He applies it to all the branches that
show signs Of decay. Since practicing
this cheap remedy, he has not been
troubled with insects. By applying tar
to the trunk, and clearing away the
surface at the roots SO as to let it run
down on them, p ach trees badly dam
aged by borers are fully restored. Re-
place the dirt, and you will have no
more trouble with the tree for two
years or more. If the tar is applied to
the young trees, the borers will not
trouble them at all. He states that the
coating should be applied in the winter
or early in the spring, with new tar

TIE ElF.KINGs YOUNGEST DAUGHTER.

Down the merry streamlet dancing,
Through the Pickering shadows glancing,
Foam about her white feet creaming,
All her wayward hair out-streamiDg,
Laughing on the laughing water,
Dances down the Elf Kings daughter
Youngest daughter fair.
All the trees bend low toward her,
All the rocks are strong to guard her,
ALI the little grasses whisper,
And the low-toned breezes lisp her
Praises everywhere.
All around the warm air fingers
Lovingly, the while her fingers
With dainty upward gesture,
Seem to draw shade for vesture
OF her loneliness.
Yet meseems she moves so purely,
Gliding on her path demureIy,
Looking with clear eye serenely,
She were clad not half so queenly
In royal dress.
Now she's lightly onward sweeping
Now No she stays, half-glad, half-fearlng,
Ger the ledge of granite peering,
Eyes the headlong torrent leaping-
Eyes far down the sullen powders,
While the long locks round her shoulders
Gather tenderly.
Now with little laugh a-ttemhle
Glad her shrinking 70 dissemble
Flashing through the diamond shower
With her white feet launched below her,
And her hair drawn out above her,
Swift as lady to her lover
Down the fall goes she.
Now when quiet night has clouded
All the river broad and stately,
Down the stream she rides sedately,
BY her soft hair warmly shrouded,
Lulled by melody,
Down amid the grim trees greeting,
And the drowsy wheat's repeating,
Dreaming on the dreaming water
Floats the Elf-King's youngest daughter
To the dreaming sea.

no fear of tree barking. This gnawing
takes place only when the ground is
covered with snow, and all other other
means of saving them from starvation
are denied. Save for the rabbits, then,
the ofal of cabbage, beets, celery, pars-
nips, carrots, partly rotten apples, or
potatoes, or any thing of the kind; deal
it out to them every few days when
snow is on the ground, and you will
save your trees; then set your traps
and secure fine fat rabbits for the stew
pot during the season.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Washing or Working Butter.

Butter gathered in churn always
contains more or less buttermilk, which
would soon spoil the butter if not re-
moved. There are two ways of remov-
Ing it. One is by kneading it in water
or brine, and the other by kneading it
without water. One is called "wash-
ing" and the other working" The
former removes it much more rapidly
than the latter. AS to which is the
better way there are conflicting opin-
ions.
The flavor of butter which has been
washed Is different from that which has
not been washed. The difference be-
tween washed and unwashed butter is
analogous to the difference between
clarified and unclarified sugar. When
unwashed, there is always little but
ter-milk and sugar adhering to the
butter that give it peculiar flavor in
addition to that of pure butter. which
many people like when it is new.
Washing removes all this foreign
matter and leaves only the taste of the
butter pure and simple. Those who
prefer the taste Of the butter to the
foreign ingredients mixed with it, like
the washed butter best.
TIE effect of washing upon the keep
ing quality of butter depends upon the
purity of the water with which the
washing is done. If the water contains
no foreign matter that will effect the
butter, it will keep better for washing
the buttermilk out than working it out
But if the water is hard from the pres
sence of lime, or contains anything thas
could injure the butter by contact with
it, washing becomes an injury instead
of benefit to the keeping. Nothing
but the best and purest water should be
used about butter. Very hard water is
always Objectionable. 1t is not, how
ever so Objectionable as the water from
wells, which contains muddy sediments
full of organic matter.

Good STYLE for ROOsLs.

One of the best modes for roosts or
perches in hen houses for Aslatlcs IS
that adopted by an extensive breeder OF
Brahmas and Cochins in Massachu-
sets, VINO informs us that he uses COM
mon two-inch square spruce rails for
this purpose, rounded on the top side,
and spiked to frame of similar strips
on ends and middle, In shape like a
gridiron. This frame of ioosts has
three legs, say two feet high in front,
and the back is fastened, at some
height, to the wall with strong iron
strap-hinges. The roosts are laid about
twenty inches apart on the level. In
this form the whole can be raised and
hooked up to the house ceiling IN the
DAYTIME, out Of the way. At evening
it is let down, and stands upon the
floor. The fowls are thus disposed of
at night without sitting over each other,
and prevented from soiling those that
may (by the slanting style OF roosts) be
at rest beneath the others.
For the larger varieties this is an ex'
cellent plan, since they ascend and de
scend easily, and are not endangered
in coming down, as they often are from
roosts ranged too high up in our houses!
while, at the some time, IN contracted
buildings the roosts may Away be kept
cleaned readily, and by being raised
afford more open space inside the
buildings during the day time.
If the smaller breeds are IN question
we should not flavor the slanting style
but make the gridiron-shaped frame, sc
that all the perches will be on level
when in use; for the more active breeds
will struggle for the possession of the
higher perches, and push each other OF
and mix up things generally. The
heavier and more sluggish breeds
however, will lazily ascend from on'
perch to another, and ordinarily make
little trouble.-Pouary World.

The agricultural journals are again
full of modes for preventing rabbits
gnawing young fruit trees, suggesting
various remedies, among the best Of
which is to Landage up the tree some
two or three feet, or beyond the reach
of the hungry animal. For it must
be remem bered that it is hunger, not
q choice of focd, that enduces 6 cotton
tall to feed upon the barks. But this
bandaging requires great deal of time
ia q large orchard, and can be avoided
nv q mere act of kindness to the starv-
ing rabbits, which is the providing for
them a email quantity of food, and as
it may consist of the offal Of any vege,
table substance, or poor hay scattered
in or about the orchard, there neeo De

A Fatal Leap in the Dark.
From the Newburgh Journal.


A lamentable and shocking affair &C.
CURED on the Erie Railway, hundred
miles or so from Jersey City, early
stations, where the train stopped for a
moment, several hungry looking and
poorly clad little boys and girls got on
the cars and passed through with
baskets of apples, but it was at time
of night when one felt no inclination to
indulge in food of this sort, and their
success was very Indifferent. At an
end of one car q group Of coarse and
noisy passengers who had made the
night hideous with their ribald songs
and uncOuth attempts at wit, was gath
cred, and here the smallest of the mis-
cradle little apple vendors paused, hop
ing to dispose of some of his fruit, but
with no success. When the train be-
gan to move he strove to get away but
was detained by his witless and unfeel-
ing tormentors, who laughed bolster
ously at his pitiful appeals and express
sions of fear. When the poor fellow
got free the train was moving with
rapidity, but without pausing a mo-
ment, off he leaped into the blackness
aud darkness. At the next station word
was received that the boy had been in
stantly killed by the jump, striking or
his head and breaking his neck. A
solemn hush reigned in the car during
the night, and it is our duty as a faith
full chronicler to write that more than
once an expression of remorse and re
gret escaped the lips of the uninten
tional !. urderers of the poor ittl,
apple vender.

THE LESSON.
Ely 4. n. STODDARD.

You that seek to sunder love,
Learn lesson ere you go.
I, of course, should be above
Marriage with a man SO low:
| should choose, or you for me-
Better you, perhaps, than L
One of higher pedigree:
Beauty cannot look too high.
Beauty such as mine, you say,
And the ancient name [ bear;
Both are meanly thrown away,
And are goipg-Heaven knows where.
Dove should always mate with dove,
Wren with wren and crow with crow.
You who seek to sunder love,
Learn . lesson ere you go.
What should woman look to find
In the man she is to we'd
Loving heart and earnest mind,
And the strength to earn his bread?
Or rent roll bauk account,
Owned-but let the owner pass;
If he has the right amount,
Lucky if he's only ass
/ would live single life,
Rather than be bought with this:
When I give the kiss of wife,
It will be an honest kiss.
Challenged throw down the glove,
You may pick it up, or no.
You have sought to sunder love
Learn lesson ere you go.
Gentlemen he might have been?
/ think not, If you are one:
He could never so demean
Gentleness, as you have done;
He is better horn than most,
In that he was good when born;
He is too well-bred to boast,
And he laughs at all your scorn.
He has given me hand and heart
How is it the ballad ran?
