A Will at Salmon Falls Swept Away
Fears for the Dam.
B1DDEFoRD, March 30-Wednesday last,
while the Saco river was rapidly rising and the
ice on the move, Mr.. B. c. Jordan caused the
removal of all machinery in his saw mill at
Salmon Falls, ten miles above this city. Yes
terday the water commenced to recede. Think
ing all danger past the machinery was replaced
but later large bodies of ice came down and at
& o'clock the pressure was SO great that the
mill succumbed and with its valuable machin-
cry went crashing down the surging stream.
At the same time some of the posts supporting
another mill, owned by the same party, were
knocked out and it is considered almost certain
that this will go too, in which case it is feared
the dam at the falls will give way, causing
great destruction all along the river Loss 49,

No developments here. The water remains
at about the same height and unless it contin.
ues to rain up country no further damage is
feared.

CHOLERA IN POULTRY.

ing Of the State Grange at anderson, s

j III. Foster, Of Lancaster County, S. 6
OF the few diseases poultry are liable to
none seems to deserve so much attention as
cholera. From some points of resemblance
between this ailment snd Asiatic cholera
among men, it is probable they have like
origin; that is, either bymotic or animalcu.
lar. Such symptoms as diarrhea, collapse
and rapid fatality, without any apparent
symptom, are common to both. Also the
fact that Asiatic cholera usually commences
in India, and that several large breeds of
chickens have beeu imported from that coun-
try during the last twenty or thirty years
It's. 1t is a well well known fact that aifases apAlo,

chicken cholera. So uiifozpiSeAis that
one can foresee an attack&y inspecting that
organ. However desira1e definite ideas of
its nature or essential elements of its cause
may be, its prevention is still more desirable
1t is often communicated to the healthy
through the drinking water. Their water
should be frequently renewed during the day,
and troughs busted over with bulverized
copperas, or rinsed with diluted carbolc
acid.
Geese that arc confined to yard and
compelled to drink at common trough take
the disease; otherwise they have not been
known to have it.
All poultry that manifest any symptoms
of cholera should be separated from the
others, and fed with cooked food moistcned
with diluted carbolic acid, and few drops
of muriatioaincturc of ireS-;a their water.
A large per cent. are soon too much prostra-
ted to be able to eat; they can even be saved
then if cooked food be pushed down their
throats three or four times day, it being
moistened with diluted carbolic acid. The
main measure for protection against this
scourse is to burn all that die of it. If the
dead are buried the larvae of the common
blue fly will still be propagatcd in great
numbers, and when near maturity will leave
the carcases, come near the surface be
scratched out and eaten, and thereby poison
others. AS all will not take the trouble to
burn dead poultry, it is well to keep watch
ful yard dog-so watchful that any cur that
might have been eating a ch cholera-killed fowl
should not oiter around onk's promises. 1t
is evident that this is one pf the ways by
which this disease is spread.

DIR. Caldwell, of Iowa, states that in 1862
he was present at the exhumation of body
which had been buried two years before.
The coffin had sprung open at the joints,
and the hair .protruded through the open
ings. On opening the coffin the hair of
the head was found to measure eighteen
inches, the whiskers eight inches and the
hair on the breast five or six inches. The
man had been shaved before being huried.
In 1S47, similar circumstance occurred
in Mercer County, Pa. In digging grave,
the workmen came upon the skeleton of a
man that had been buried ten years The
hair was as firm as during life and had
grown to length of eleven or twelve in.

IT will be remembered that Judge
Chisholm, his dau ghter and two 9th
err prominent Republicans of Mississ-
ippi were brutally murdered by a
mob upon suspicion that Chisholm
and his friends had instigated the
murder of John w Gully who had
been assassinated q short time pre-
vious. The murderer of Gully proves
to have been a mullatto named Wal
ter Riley. Riley has been arrested,
tried, convicted and lately executed
for the crime. On the scaffold he
made q statement of all the circum-
stances under which he killed Gully,
and was cross-examined by the
crowd for more than hour previous
to the execution. He insisted that
the cause why he committed the
crime was personal one, and that
no white man knew of his inten,
tions and that he alone was respon-
sible. After the rope was placed
around his neck and the cap drawn
over his face he called one of the
principal citizens to him and again
affirmed the truth of the statements
he had made. This clears the CHS
holm massacre of the least shadow of
justification, all of the guilty parties
are we'll known, but no one of them
will ever be brought to trial.

A Remarkable Presen. iment

In March last, while the ill-tated
United States steamer Huron was
lying in the harbor of Port Royal,
S. c., Lieutenant Arthur I'll. Fletcher
her executive officer, left the vessel
on a twenty-four hours leave of alb
sence, and failing to return at the
expiration of that time, the ship sail
ed to another port without him. A
few days previous Mr.. Fletcher had
reported to Commodore j. III. B.
Clitz, "senior naval officer, present,
and stated to him that for some
time past he had presentiment that
if he went to sea in the Huron for
purpose of finishing the cruise 1.-TWO
years. he would be wrecked. This
feeling took complete possession OF
his mind, aud he used every means
to get detached but the navy de-
partment refused toorder it without
better reason When h9 found
that all his efforts had failed, he left
the Huron in the manner stated with
the intention not to return. For
this be was placed under afrest, ana
tried by court-martial at Washing
ton navy yard, in August last. In
defense he made a s'stement in sub
stance as above and called Commo-
dore ClitZ, Commander George P.
Ryan, of the Huron, and other off
GERS, to prove that before leaving
the ship he had told them of the
dread-in fact horror-he had of fin
ishing the cruise in the vessel. This
is a matter of record on file in the
navy department, and, though such
line of defense was laughed at
when made, the fate of the Huron
will cause many superstitious people
to think that Mr. Fletcher's premon-
ition was fully proven to be true
one by the wreck off Kitty Hawk,
N. c. Washington Republican.
