4 Curious FAMILY-The Times
and Dispatch of Reading says: Alba
nv, the township Of snakes aud cata-
mounts, possesses one OF the most
curious families i'm the county, whose
history is quite remarkable. Kunkle
is the name of the family, which coh-
sists of five persons, four old bacie-
lors and one old maid, brothers and
sisters, who are bound together by the
most affectionate ties and refuse to he
separated. The sister is in her seven
.ieth year, and is uOteG for her excel
lent management, welding great in
fluence over her younger brothers,
who range in age from fifty to sixty
/ five years. the Youngest being upward
OF fifty years old. They are all over
six feet tall and possessed of hercule,n
/ frames. The farm upon which they
, live has been handed down over
hundred years, and was acquired by
their ancestors over century ago.
| Their house was erected m ore than
one hundred years ago, after the style
of the first settlers, split logs for a
floor, filled up with clay. They do all
their own work, and arc heat and
clean In all they do. Their farm is in
excellent condition, and produces an
nually large crops. They do not
have their horses shod IL the winter,
only in the summer In winter the
shoes are removed, and the horses are
not taken further than TO water.
They carry all their grain to the mill
and back on their shoulders, never
using the horses for shis purpose. The
barn roof, and a number of the out
buildings are, thaJched with straw.
| The family is much respected, and is
reported to be wealthy. A sister,
who married n number of years ago,
has been utterly discarded, her Singh
lar brothers and sister having paid
her the portion to which she was en-
titled out of her fathers estate, and
| will have 10 further intercoul sc with
her. This curious family resides near
Wesnesville, in Albany township, and
have never beer out of the county,
and it is believed never out of the
township. They are said to have rel
atIves in Philadelphia whom they have
never seen nor visited

CUNNING RAvENS.-In the narra-
tive OF the Arctic voyage of Captain
Mcclure, of the British navy, is the
following story of two ravens which
became domiciliate,l on board the In
vestlSator. The raven, it appears, is
the only bird that willingly braves a
Polar winter; and, in the depth of the
season, he Is seen to fit TIN ough the
cold and sunless atmosphere like an
evil spirit. his sullen croak alone break
ing the silence of the death like scene.
No one OF the crew attempted to shoot
the ravens, and they consequently be-
came very bold, as will be seen by the
narl alive:
Two ravens now established them
selves as friends of the family in Mercer
bay, living mainly by what little scraps
the men might have thrown away after
meal time. The ships dog, however,
looked upon these as his especial per-
| quisites, and exhibited considerable en-
ergy III maintaining his rights against
| tile ravens, who nevertheless outwitted
! him III a way which amused every one.
Observing that he appeared quite will
ing to make n mouthful of their own
sable persons, they used to throw them
selves Intentionally in his way, just as
I the mess tins were being cleaned out on
the dirt heap outside the ship. The
dog would Immediately run at them.
and they would just fly few yards /:
! the dog would then make another run.
and again they would appear to escape
him but by an inch. and so on, until
they had tempted and provoked him
to the shore, a considerable distance
OF. Then the ravens would make a
direct flight for the ship, and had gen.
orally done good execution before the
Notwithstanding dog detected the inn
position that had been pracsiced upon
him, and rushed back again"

STRENGTH or INSECTS.

Should any of our readers be skep-
,ical upon this point, perhaps the fol-
lowing Illustrations o. snpcrhercu!can
strength with which the commonest
insects are endowed. ses~ssed from Gu
rious sources. may prepare us to credit
more easily the facts which we shall
have to record. The colnmo flea, as
every one knows, will, without much
apparent effort, jump two hundred
times its own length, and several
grasshoppers and locusts are said to
be able 30 perform leaps quite as won
derful In the case OF the insects
they scarcely excite our notice; but if
man were 10 coolly take a stai-dng
leap OF three hundred and eighty odd
yards, which would be an equivalent
exertion of muscular power, perhaps
our admirers of athletic sports might
be rather startled ut such perform

given by Mr.. Newport. The great
stagbeetle whiclr~tea off the bark
from the roots and the branches Of
trees, has been known to gLaw 4 hole
an inch in diameter through the sile
of canister i'm which it was confined,
and on which the marks Of its jaws
were distinctly visible. as proved by
Mr.. Stephens, WHO exhibited the can
lister at one of the meetings OF the En-
tomological Society. The common
beetle can, without injury, support
and even raise very great weights, and
make its way beneath almost any
amount Of pressure In order to put
the strength of the insect tlas to the
test, experiments have been made
which prove that it is able to sustain

is not. however, confined to the short,

once fastened q small carahuS-one Of
the most active and elegantly formed
of the beetle tribe-which weighed on
" three grains and half, by means
of silk thread, 10 small piece of pa
per, upon which the weight to be
moved was placed. At distance of
ten inches from it's load the insect was
able 20 draw after it, up All inclined

placed upon a plane Of five degrees in

IN-GRowING TOE NAILs-This most
painful of the diseases of the nails is
caused by the improper manner of cut
ting the nail generally of the great
toe), and then wearing narrow, bad
ly> made shoe. The nail beginning to
grow too long, and rather wide at the
corners, is trimmed around the corners.
which gives temporary relief But it
then begins to- grow wider in the side
where it was cut OF AMI as the shoe
presses the flesh against the corner,
the nail cuts more an more into the
raw flesh, which becomes excessively
tender and irritable If this state
continues long, the toe becomes more
and more painful and liberated, and
fungus (proud hcsh) sprouts up from
the sorest points. Walking greatly
increases the suffering till positive rest
becomes Indispensable. Treatment {:
We omit all modes of cutting ont the
nal bv the root, and all other cutting
or torturing operations Begin the
effort at cure 10y simple application to
the tender part of 4 small quantity Of
perchloride of iron. IL is found in
drug stores in fluid form, though
sometimes in powder Thcle is i'm
medately a moderate sensation of
pain, construction or burning. In a
few minutes the tender surface is felt
TO be dried up, tanned or mummitied,
and it ceases to be painful. The pa
tient, who, before could not put his
foot to the floor, now finds that he can
walk upon it without pain. BY per-
mitting the hardened, wood like flesh
to remain for two or three weeks. it
can he easily removed bv soaking the

structure is found, firm and solid, be

TRAINING CARRIER PIGEONS
German paper gives some details of
the extraordinary development of the
breeding and training of carrier pig
cons in Germany since the late war
During the siege Of Paris, as is well
known, pigeons afforded the only
means of communication between the
outside world and the inhabitants Of
the belelguercd city. In order that
similar messengers might he available
in the hour of need pigeon houses were
established, after the conclusion Of the
war i'll most of the larger garrison
towns of North and South Germany
aud now pigeon flying is rapidly be-
coming n favorite pastime and sport
throughout the country. The increas-
ed attention thus given to the subject
has resulted in the oJsei walton of many
pcculiarities in the birds. Carrier
pigeons of good breed, it is noticed,
although they may be started i'll com-
pany and bound for the same place, fly
quite Independently Of one another
Each one selects his own course, some
taking a higher, others n lower fight,
aud speeds un its way without taking
any heed of its neighhors. The birds,
in fact, seem to know that they are
rteing, and each one cXerts itself TO the
utmost to arrive first at the goal.s In
the neighb0rhood of every pigeon
house there are always certain places,
trees, etc, which are usually iavorite
resorts Of the birds, bnt when coming
in in a race the well bred pigeon never
stops for moment at any of these
baunts. but flies straight to his own
particular house, frequently arriving
there in so exhausted a condition rs 10
lie unable even to eat She food II Is
most fond Of Birds which are setting
or which have lately hatched young
are generally taken in preference to
others for racing put instances have
been known in which carrier pigeons
of good br ed which bave been taken
10 fresh home. and which have hatch.
cd young there have deserted their
brood and have flown away to their
original home at the first opportunity
they had Of escaping.
