PROF. CREssY's LECTURE.-Prof. Noah
Cressy's course of lectures on Veterinary
Science before the University of Vermont
and State Agricultural College, began at
the Medical College at Burlington, on
Thursday, z. NJ, the 10Th inst,
The first lecture was advertised as free
and the arena was filled, the medical class
attending in body, with many outsiders,
making II very respectable and respectful
audience. Prof Cressy was introduced
by President Buckham, who said he had
little need to introduce the Dr., rs he was
now pretty well known; his reputation
had preceded him; the work before him
was to sustain that reputation.
President Buckham spoke of the impor-
lance of the subject of Veterinary Science,
OF the pocuniary profit which the know
ledge of it might bring when the student,
having taken his diploma was waiting for
his first patient, could put little money
in his purse and gain hold in the regards
OF his future, patrons by treating the dis
cases of their animals.
DR.. Cressy spoke briefly of his former
connection with the college as a student,
and of his drifting into his specially, the
veterinary branch of medical science
which had been largely brought about by
his love Of animals.
lie next treated briefly of comparative
anatomy, showing the similarity of struc.
ture in the bones of animals 70 those OF
the human subject, and illustrating his re.
marks with bones of the leg of the horse
and cranial structure, showing the same
bones, differing in form somewhat bu,
still the same, and urged on the students
the broadening of their field of study by
the taking up of comparative anatomy as
well.
Better specimens of certain diseases Of
the human subject could often be obtained
from animals than from the subject itself
Medical men should know more of dis.
eases of animals, as the wisest doctor in
town would often send for the biggest fool
in town to doctor his horse or cow. lie
thought move would soon be made, the
doctor of medicine and veterinary surgeon
co-laborers and brothers in science; when
the student would receive the degree of NJ
V. D., doctor of Veterinary Medicine)
rs well as NJ. d.
He next spoke of the prejudice against
and the low estimate placed upon Veterin
airy Science, which had its foundation in
the ignorance and quackery of those who
had formerly assumed to represent the
science.
The remainder OF the time was devoted
chiefly to the laying out of his work for
future lectures, and after some consulta-
ton the president announced the next lec-
ture on Friday as free also, and the class
was dismissed.

RAILWAY WHEELS OF PAPER.-The in.
finite variety of purposes to which paper
is applied in the Empire of Japan has as
tOnished all Europeans who have visited
that country. They have literally found
paper, paper everywhere, and in all shapes
and forms. The japanese. however, with
all their ingenuity in this direction, would
never have dreamt of making paper
wheels for railway carriages.
This, nevertheless, IS being done at Shelf
field at this moment, and we have seen a
sample Of the work. The paper wheels
have steel tires, made with an inside hange
and cast-iron boss. On each side of the
boss an d tire steel plates 3-l6 inch thick
are bolted, and the space between the
plates is filled with compressed paper. The
paper is composed of what are known as
" straw boards" and these are made to
adhere to each other by means of rye
paste. The combined layers of paper are
next subjected to hydraulic pressure to the
extent of 1000 tons for the space of four
or five hours, and then dried in II heated
air-bath.
The final thickness of the prepared paper
is about three and II half inches, and as
may be imagined, the quantity of straw
board packed into this concentrated space
by the giant force of the hydraulic ram is
something enormous. Still a certain
amount of elasticity remains to the sub
stance, and this-in union with its homoge-
neity and singular smoothness of grain
and teXture-constitute one of its highest
qualifications for the duty it will presently
have to perform. Lathes, slide-rests, and
sharp cutting tools are made to shape the
compressed paper into discs of the proper
size, and under pressure of four hundred
tons these are then forced into the tires.
The steel protecting plates are subsequent
ly bolted to the inner and outer peripher-
les of the wheels, and after finishing
touch in the latter they are ready to be
keyed on their axles and placed under the
railway carriages.
1t is understood that experiments both
in America and in this country have gone
to prove the great superiority of paper
railway wheels over those of steel or
wrought iron, and that the brake, however
suddenly and sharply applied, does not in
jure them in the least.-London Echo.

There is one thing which Nature does
not supply and which civilization, the Ger
mantown Telegraph thinks, renders quite
necessary to fowls, 1t is charcoal. But
charcoal made of wood does not answer
the purpose; it has no taste of food, is not
attractive to the fowl, and is seldom eaten.
But if any one will put an ear of ripe corn
into the fire till the grains are well charrcd.
and then shell off the corn and throw it to
his flock, he will see an eagerncss develop
ed and u healthy condition brought about
which will make decided Improvement.
All pale combs will become bright red e,
that busy song which precedes laying will
be heard, and the average yield of eggs
will be greatly increased.

A PAPER-MAKING SPIDER.-Spiders
have been noted so long as spinners Of
the finest of silk. that it strikes one little
oddly to think of one as paper-maker.
But hear this true story that has just been
told to me.
In the heart of the African Continent,
where no other paper is manufactured, the
spider paper-maker does her quiet work,
Back and forth, over fiat surface about
an inch and half square, on the inside
wall of hut, the spider slowly moves in
many lines until the square is covered
with pure white paper. Under this she
places from forty to fifty eggs; and then
to fasten the square of paper more secure
ly TO the wall, she makes q strip of paper
about quarter of an inch broad, and
with this CLUES the square carefully around
the edges.
When all is done, the spider-which. is
quite large one-places herself on the
center of the outside of the little fiat bag
SO carefully made, and begins to watch,
which is to last three weeks without in
termission. Apparently the young spi-
ders would have many dangers to fear,
did not their anxious mamma wage a
fierce war upon the cockroaches and other
insects that came near. After three
weeks of unremitting watchfulness, the
mother-spider leaves her nest in the day
time to hunt food, but she always returns
at night, until her young are strong
enough TO take care of themselves

ABORTION IN CATTLE AND SWINE
Swine, as well as cattle, will abort, though
it is not so general, they not being so
readily influenced by the same circum-
stances which seem to cause it in cows.
Feeding cotton-sced meal will cause abor-
ton in cows and hogs, as l have found out
at my cost. This food is very valuable
for fattening, but it should not be fed to
the breeding stock. The tendency to
abort will often breed in the young, and
will sometimes be produced in an intensi-
fed form; so a person cannot be too care
fnl about this matter where it is suspected
this ailment-if so it may be called-ex-
ists. Very often this tendency breeds out
and is effectually subdued by careful and
judicious breeding, but the risks are so
great that unless you have something very
fine you had better have nothing to do
with stock that aborts. No one breed is
more likely to suffer in this way than
another, and it is only under certain cir
and conditions, whatever they
may be, that this evil occurs Cores

About these days" as the old alman-
acs used to say all along down the month,
is first rate time to sow clover seed; Cor
possibly little laterD when the crust
bears 90 out on the snow and sow your
seed; it will give you good catch.
Or if the snow is blown off from some
portions of your moving, and the grass
probably winter-killed; sow on the clover,
and it will in the thawing spring days
find its way deep enough to gcrminate, We
would commend to those of our readers
who have been in the habit of narrowing
in their herdsgrass and clover, the facts
on this point given in the extracts from
Mr.. Shedd's paper which we publish in

ANCIENT ToUGHENED GLAsS.-Thore
was IN artlicer in Rome who made YES
sells of glass of so tenacious u temper that
they were rs little liable to be broken
as those that are made of gold and silver.
When therefore he had made vial Of a
purer sort, and such as lie thought pres
ent worthy of the Caesar alone, he was
admitted into the presence of the then
Emperor Tiberious. The gift was praised,
the skilful hand of the artist applauded,
and the donation of the givcr accepted.
The artist that he might enhance the Won
der of the spectators and promote himself
yet further in the favor Of the emperor,
desired the vial out of Caesars hand, and
threw it with such force against the floor,
that the most solid metal would have ro-
ceived some damage or bruise thereby.
Caesar was not only amazed but affrighted
with the act, and the artist, taking up the
vial (Which was not broken but only
bruised together, rs if the substance of
glass had put on the temperature of brass)
from the ground, drew out an instrument
from his bosom, and beat it out into its
former figure. This done, he imagined
he ha,l conquered the world, as believing
that he had merited an acquaintance with
Caesar, and raised the admiration of all
the beholders; but it fell out otherwise,
the emperor inquired if any person be-
sides himself was privy 10 the like tenn
per of glass. When he had told him
mo" he commanded his attendants to
strike off his head, saying that should
this artifice come once to be known gold
and silver would not be of so much value
as the dirt in the streets.

HOUSE PLANTs.-Tt is difficult to say
why a collection of house plants do not
bloom well. Too rich soil and strong
growth of wood and leaves are unfavor-
able to flowers The green fly may be
destroyed by smoking or washing with to-
bacco water. See that your plants have
plenty of air and water, Watch and
work. When variegated plants are young,
and making rapid growth, with some
kinds the variegation is somewhat lost.

WHO Is SHER
There is little maiden
Who is she? DO you know
Who always has welcome
Wherever she may go.
Her face is like the May.time,
Her voice is like birds;
The sweetest of all music
Is in her lightsOme words.
Each spot she makes the brighter,
As if she were the sun,
And she is sought and cherished
And loved by every one;
BY old folks and by children,
by lofty and by low.
Who is this little maiden?
Does anybody know?
You surely must have seen her?
You certainly can guess;
What must introduce her2
Her name is-Cheerfulness.

A BUNGLING HANGING. -Chas. M
Sterling, an account of whose desperate
attempt to escape from prison has been
published, was hung at Youngstown,
Ohio, on Saturday, for the murder of
Lizzie Grombacher, aged IA, near that
place, in January, 1877 The girl was
found in the woods strangled with her vel,
and blutally outraged The crime was
traced to Sterling. He asserted his limo
cence to the last. The death warrant was
read to him, and at 1890 O'Clock he was
led to the scaffold and after prayer, was
handcuffed and. placed on the closed trap
and asked if he had anything to say. He
made a few remarks, insisting that he "A
innocent, and bid his attorney farewell
He also asked for the brother Of the MUIR
dered girl and shook hands with him. At
exactly 12:45 the trap was sprung. The
moose Slipped under his chin and failed to
break his neck. After few minutes of
silence he began to clap his hands, kick his
feet and moan piteously. The sight was
horrid enc, sickening in the extreme For
at least two minutes those motions and
groans were kept up, and it was tEirtet II
minutes before he Was pronounced dead.
While this scene was transpiring on the
scaffold his attorney was being carried in
to the jail, where he fell unon Il bed and
wept in the most piteouS manner. 1t took
three men to CONTROL him. Every few
moments he exclaimed, Hes dead He's
dead!" The body was taken down. and
was buried in the Potters field yesterday
afternoon.

The County Court was densely crowded
Monday by spectators anxious to hear Su-
san Gaines, pretty but idiotic looking
girl of eighteen, against Chas. Burschell,
Samuel Wehn and S. Y. Amiss, who she
charged with indecent assault when they
dropped in at herhouse returning from !.
fishing party The complainant commenced
by identifying as her chief assailant Amiss
a respectable married man who hadn't
even been in the house. The evidence Of
other witnesses was to the effect that she
was q girl of loose character and instan ces
were given verifying it. The jury immedi-
ately rendered verdict Of not guilty and
the accused were honorably discharged.
