DIrease Grows Apaee.

Like an ill wind, and cannot be mastered too
early. What is a trifiing attack Of sickness
to-day, may, if unattended to, become a seri-
Gus case in week. Small ailments should be
nipped in the bud before they blossom into
full blown maladies. If this advice were at
tended to, many heavy bill for medical at
tendance might be avoided. When the liver
is disordered, the stomach foul, the bowels
obstructed or the nerves disturbed, resort
should be at once had to that supreme RENE
DIV, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a few doses
OF which will restore healthy action and put
the system in perfect order. It is wise pre-
caution to keep this Incompatible preventive

Mr.. Amasa Stone has written letter
10 Albany. n. Y, which appears in the Al
bany Journal. which reiterates the theory
of the second locomotive getting of the
track when striking the bridge, and sttrib-
uting the failure Of the bridge IA this acci-
dent. This persistence can hardly over
come the testimony against it. The testl-
mony of Folsom, the engineer, tallies with
the generally admitted opinion, that no
portion of the train could be of the track
without being instantly known to him. and
much less could his own engine be running
for nearly or quite the entire length OF the
bridge without his knowledge OF the Iaet-
This letter also alludes to bridges erected
bv Mr.. Stone that have been IN use % or
30 wears. As iron bridges were unknown
at so early period, these bridges must
have had more than the usual durability
of wood. TO have remained sound and safe
for so long a period. The bridge which
preceeded the unfortunate iron one, was
considered unworthy at the expiration of
some ten or twelve years.

Dairy Farming and Practical Train.
ing In,

Mr.. Clement Hill, British ACTING cbaroo
daffairs at Munich, states in re.
port which he made to the FOREIGN
office, that in Bavaria great Importance
Is attached TO the application of sound
principles in dairy produce, and he gives
an account of school founded seven
years ago by the agricultural committee
of the district of Southofen (encouraged
by the promise of small government
grant for the instruction of youths in the
dairy system of the mountain pasturape
district Algan. In this school practical
instruction is given in all that contrib.
utes to the manufacture of good cheese
and butter, such as the proper treatment
OF cows, milking, discrimination between
the good and the worthless kinds of milk
and the process it should undergo. The
theoretical part of all this is also taught
as well as simple book keeping rates of
exchange, and where possible some in.
struction in veterinary art is added. The
course lasts from March to June. MANY
persons come from Austria and neigh.
boring districts to attend the weekly lec-
lures. The theoretical teaching is gratu-
iious, but the pupils have to find them
selves food and lodging, and to pay about
eighteen shillings month to the propri-
etor of the dairy for the practical instruc-
tion. The six courses-1S69 to 1874
were attended by sixty.three scholars.
MIR. Hill states that similarinstitution ex-
ist in Switzerland, Denmark and other
parts of Europe, and he suggests that
their creation in England, under the
auspices of some leading agricultural So
ciety, might work radical Improvement
in dairy farming. He is of the opinion
that America, where dairy farming is now
pursued with great success, because on
scientific principles, would then be no
longer able to supply England with
cheap cheese. Mr.. Hill states that it is
not uncommon for cows of Algan, when
they have been eating bitter herbs, or in
stormy weather, to yield salt or bitter
milk, and in such cases it is the duty of
the senior to taste the milk of each teat,
and if it is unsound to milk it all away,
or at least till it runs sweet, and the re.
suit is to insure a ready sale for the pro-
ducts of the milk, buyers knowing that
they will be sound and good.

Mora's words lay before them, moving
sluggishly on the water. To-day the in
cessant rolling Of ten years had released
the last weight that held it down.
Mora's eyes started from beneath their
shaggy brows, as he grasped the cross and
then clutched at his companions dress.
He did not see her. He only saw the
witness, on which his eyes fixed with a
look of despair,

"He was my husband. That boy was
my child" The man fell at her feet.
"Rise, Daniel Mora. am not thy

she herself bowed low upon the ground.
Her forehead touched the cross, which
carried the tale of her old grief and this
mans crime. Daniel Mora crept thitber
also, until at length he felt two cold
hands laid on his head.
"GOd be merciful to US sinners!" she
said. And he repeated the prayer after
her.-Horace -. Scuddsr, On the Independ-
