smaller roads, built for local needs, and
consolidated in 1868. The consolida-
tion agreement was entered into by the
following roads: the Albany and Schen-
ectady and Troy; the Utica and Schen-
ectady; the Syracuse and Utica; the
Rochester aud Syracuse; the Buffalo
and Lockport; the Mohawk Valley; the
Syracuse and Utica direct; the Buffalo
and Rochester; the Rochester, Lockport,
and Niagara Falls. The simple state
ment of the names of these roads shows
how local and fragmentary was the ear
ly growth of the railway. There was
no conception then of trunk-lines. The
very knowledge of the topography of the
West, as the term is understood to-day,
was as vague, almost, as at the time of
the settlement of America, when the
charters of the colonies were described
as extending from the Atlantic to the
South Sea, or with Connecticut, to the
Pacific Ocean.-Eds0ard Hoacla,ad, sn

SAND FOR BEDDING CATTLE.

Sand, if not the best, is one of the
best articles in use for bedding cattle.
1t is good deodorizer. and keeps the
stable sweet. As the cattle work it
back into the trench under their feet, it
mixes with the manure, and thus divides
it and makes it more suitable for the
use of plants. If the distance to haul
it is not too far. its very cheapness ought
to recommend its use. In barns that
have no cellars, were it used freely, it
would absorb large amount of urine
that is now wasted. Soil and muck are
dirty things to use in stable, but sand
is clean. Then, too, it is nice thing
to use under hen roosts, to receive the
droppings. which can be easily raked off
and kept in barrels, and in the spring
mixed with fine cow manure-one part
of the former to two of the latter. This
being shoveled over thoroughly two or
three times, makes mass of rich ma
nure. A large handful of this in the
hill will set corn to growing finely.
Flowers, too. grow and blossom far bet
ter In soil that has an admixture of
sand. So clayey and peaty soils are
benefited by its combination with them,
and vice versa. When spread on heavy
soils In grass, it produces more effect
than any chemical manure.

Union camp. Daylight revealed a fact
which the commanding officers had fear
ed since the appearance of the rebels on
the other side. The enemy had gathered
in large force, and detachment from
the Union line suffered considerable loss
while accommodating. The advance of
Wistar had been learned in some way by
the rebels, and all hope of its success
was at once destroyed, the expedition
having been planned with no other object
than effecting complete surprise of the
forces in Richmond. No defeat in the
whole war caused heavier hearts or more
bitter disappointment than the failure
of this attempt on Richmond.
The manner in which news of the in
tended movement of Gen. Wistar reached
the rebel capital was for a long time a
mystery, but it was at last ascertained
that the murderer Boyle reached Rich
mond, and had been able to, and did,
give sufficient idea of the proposed expe-
dition to the rebels to put them on their
guard and to cause them to take measures
to learn at once the advance of Wistar
as soon as his forces started. Boyle re-
turned to New York City after the war,
and still lives there, having been seen
and talked with by members of his reg
iment. "He carries with him." says
Major Cronin, ''not only the guilt of an
atrocious murder, but the consciousness
of having thwarted one of the boldest
and best planned expeditions of the
whole war"

CURE FOR DIPTHERIA.
A correspondent Of Victoria pap

A correspondent Of a Victoria paper
writes:
Should you or any of your family be
attacked with the diptheria, do not be
alarmed, as it is easily and speedily
cured without a doctor. When it was
raging in England few years ago
accompanied DR.. Field on his rounds to
witness the so-called wonderful cures"
he performed, while the patients of 9TH
ers were dropping on all sides. The
remedy, to be SO rapid, must be simple.
All he took with him was powder of
sulphur and quill, and with these he
cured every patient, without exception.
He put teaspoonful of -four of brim-
stone into a wineglass of water, and
stirred it with his finger, instead of
spoon, as the sulphur does not readily
amalgamate with water. When the
sulphur was well mixed he gave it as a
gargle, and in ten minutes the patient
was out of danger. Birthstone kills
every species of fungus in man, beast,
and plant, in few minutes. Instead
of splitting out the gargle, he recommend
ed the swallowing of it. In extreme
cases, in which he had been called just
in the nick of time, when the fungus
was too nearly closing to allow the garg-
ling, he blew the sulphur through quill
into the throat, and after the fungus had
shrunk to allow of it, then the gargling.
He never lost a patient from diptheria.
If a patient cannot gargle, take live
coal, put it on shovel, and sprinkle a
spoonful or two of -four of birthstone at
time upon it; let the sufferer inhale
it, holding the head over it, and the
fungus will die. If plentifully used,
the whole room may be filed almost to
sufocation the patient can walk about
in it, inhaling the fumes, with doors and
windows shut. The mode of fumigating
a room with sulphur has often cured
most violent attacks of cold in the head,
chest, etc., at any time, and is recon-
mended in cases of consumption and
asthma.

EVENINGS AT HOME.

The long evenings which follow the
short days, are made, in some families,
the happiest of all happy times The
cares of the day are ended the mothers
resting time has come; the father has
dropped all sorts of business worries
and perplexities. and the whole family
throw themselves into the innocent
pleasure of the home circle.
Solomon tells US that there is time
for all things; time to weep, and
time to laugh, to play, and to dance.
Surely the time to laugh, to play, and
to dance comes most appropriately in
the long pleasant evening hours, when
The cares that infest the day
Fold up their tents like the Arabs.
And silently steal away.
It is well for the woman of the house.
hold to remember that the pleasant eve-
nings at home are strong antidotes to
the practice of looking for enjoyment
abroad, and seeking for pleasure in and
by forbidden places; for relaxation and
recreation will be INDUCED in somehow
by most men, and happy are they who
find in the home circle the diversion
they need. A lively game, an interest
ing book read aloud, or, In musical
families, new song to be practiced,
will furnish pastime that will make an
evening pass pleasantly.
A little forethought during the day,
little pulling of wires that need not
appear, will make the whole thing easy,
and different ways and means may be
proved for making the evening hours
pass pleasantly, and time to be looked
forward to with pleasant anticipations.
We visited once in large family where
it was the duty of each sister, in turn,
to provide the evenings occupation, and
there was pleasant rivalry between
them as to whose evening should be
most enjoyable. The brothers entered
fully into the spirit Of the simple home
entertainments, and were as loft to be
obliged to spend an evening away from
home as their sisters and parents were
sorry to have them absent Every one
spoke of this family as an uncommonly
united one, for each and every member
showed such strong attachment for the
home to which each one contributed SO
much pleasure.

A favorite trick with the hotel swim
die is to hand large sealed envelope
stuffed with paper, to the clerk, and ask
him to take case of ''those notes for a

INDIAN SUMMER.

OhI these days.
Autumn daysl
When the languid earth lies dreaming
In sort Of golden haze;
When amidst the verdant woodlands
Stand the naples all ablaze:
Gold and crimson, brown and orange,
How they rise,
Glowing pyramids Of color,
To the skies.
When the summer tasks are done,
And the song-birds southwards gone,
Aud no sound
strs the voiceless, breathless forest;
Save when, far away and seldom,
The ripe acorn strikes the ground;
Or when leaves,
With a melancholy rustic,
And uustirred by any breeze,
Circling downward from the trees,
Spread around
A rich carpet brighter tinted
Than the cunning Persian weaves.
OH these DAYS,
Autumn daysI
Who can paint the glow and glory
or these halcyon autumn days?
