DIR. Chenery, of Boston, pronoun-
ces hyposulphste of soda a cure
remedy for diptheria, he having
cured more than one hundred and
fifty cases with it. An exchange
referring to his treatment says:
A dose OF the hyposulphate is
from five to fifteen grains or more,
in syrup, every two or four hours,
according to tie age and circum-
stances Of the patient. Purging is
the only evil which an overdose can
produce; hence as much as the pa
tient can bear without producing
that result is a good rule in the Sc
verer cases The solution or mix
'ure can be used in deses of five
drops to half q dIaehm, in milk.
For a thorough stimulation the
amount is greater than can be taken
IN water. DR.. Chenery usually
gives the specific in such doses as
can be readily taken in milk, using
milk besides as food tor small chill
dren. 1t ia said, however, that by
posulphate prevents the digestion of
milk, and therefore the latter should
not be given in less than one hour
after administering the medicine,
Cut this out and keep the TYPOS
ulphate of soda in the house.

Prof. Shelton of the Manhat-
ten Agricultural College, says the
hog cholera attacked the swine
there last year, and they saved
over one-half of them. He says:
We do not pretend that the
cholera when once firmly seated
can be cured, but we unhestitat-
ingly affirm that if prompt meas
ures are taken, when the disease
first appears in the herd, a large
of the hogs may be
saved. We say hogs, knowing
that young pigs when sick from
any cause can only be saved by
a miracle.
As soon as the disease shows
itself in the herd, attention to
the following particulars becomes
peratlve:-
1. Remove the animals from
the herd to comfortable quarters,
and provide the herd with fresh
bedding and ample protection
from the weather.
2. Avoid feeding corn IN any
form. Feed the sick animals
milk exclusively or milk mixed
with a little middlings, and the
entire herd with shorts, middiings.
ground oais or rye. If the feed
can be cooked, so much the bet
ter.
3. Let the entire herd have
ready access to pure water, and
keep constantly in the yard pile
of charcoal and ashes.
4. Keep In mind constantly
this general truth: the hog is a
clearly brute which enjoys and
pays for clean quarters and es-
pecially his nature, no less than
mans, demands proper supply
of heterogeneous foods.
Only a week ago we heard a care
full farmer and well known Berk-
shire breeder assert that, after
much experience, he had no longer
any dread of hog cholera, for he
could cure it with new milk
alone.

Frozen BITS for Horses NIOu.h:


Let any one who has the care
of q horse these cold frosty
mornings deliberately grasp in
his hand a piece of iron; indeed,
let him touch it to the tip of his
tongue, and then let him thrust
the bit into the mouth OF his
horse if he has the heart to do it.
The horse Is an animal of nerv-
Gus organization. His mouth is
formed of delicate glands and
tissues. The temperature of the
blood is the same as in the human
being, and rs in man the mouth
is the warmest part of the body.
Imagine, we repeat, the irritation
that would be caused the human,
and consider that if not to the
same degree, still the suffering of
the animal is very great. And it
is not q momentary pain. Food
is eaten with difficulty, and the
irritation repeated day after day
causes loss of appetite and loss
of strength. Many q horse has
become worthless from DO other
cause than this. Before india
rubber bits were to be had I my
self used a bit covered with leach
er, and on no account would
have dispensed with it in freezing
weather.

ANVIL THAT STANDS ALONE

A WILL That STANDS ALONE
A bill which was introduced into
the Senate the other day recalls a
will which, SO far as we know,
stands alone amoug testamentary
documents. The late Charles
Fox, of this city, after providing
for the payment of his own debts,
bequeathed all the residue of his
prosperity to the United States to
enable them to pay their debts.
The exact amount of the bequest
has not yet been ascertained; but
certained reduction of the total
of federal bonds will not be so
great as it would have been if the
late Commodore Vanderbilt had
initiated the example of Mr.. Fox,
and, traeting his heirs with abso-
lutte impartiality, had turned all
his real and personal estate into
the Sinking Fund OF the United
states. The bill to which we
have referred accepts the Fox be-
quest and authoizes the Seeretaro
of the Treasuary to cause the
property to be sold and to pay
the proceeds to the Treasurer. -

went on duty again the first
part of last week. A passenger
who was on Lis train when he
went over the new bridge for the
first time told a Toledo CONNER
ciaI reporter that he noticed that
as the train neared the bridge
HEM seemed very much agitsted.
The horrors of that awful night
Of terrors seemed to come over
him so completely that the great
drops of preparation rolled down
his face, and he grasped the seat
nervously fer support. When the
train passed OF the bridge on to
terra tirma he exclaimed "Thank
God I'm over, and now I'm not
afraid to go over it q thousand

very tBeGuA 10 Every One.
In no other way can q person get
back so large profit from a very little
money, as to expend 1t in learning
what to do, when to do, and how to
do it In other words, to have his
brains help his hands. Here is one
way to do this: The small saving
or extra production of lees than halt
q cent day, or 3 cents q week, will
now procure a large, beautiful, cheap
Journal, for all of 1877, splendidly il
Illustrated, with over 600 fine original
engravings, and over thousand col
umns of the very best, plain, practi-
cal, trustworthy, information about
the every day Indoor and outdoor
work and comfort OF every home, in
country, village and city. This infor-
nation Is not prepared by mere scrib-
blers, but by large force of intelli-
gent working men and women, who
know what they write about, and they
are assisted by many others, who fur
nlsh information from their own prae-
tice and observation. Such a Journal
is the American AgrIculturist, so nam
ed because il started 80 years ago as q
rural Journal, but since greatly enlarg-
ed and improved to suit the daily
wants OF every man, woman and child
in city, country and village-for the
farmer and gardener, the merchant
and mechanic, the professional man
indeed, all classes. 1t is packed full of
useful information that every one
ought to have. Many single hints and
suggestions will repay more than a
whole years cost of the paper. Its
original engraved plans tor building
and Improvements, with details of cost
etc., and commOn-sense directions, are
worth far more than majority of the
costly works on architecture. Great
care Is exercised to have every line Ia
the paper reliable. Its constant, per-
sistent, and full exposure of multi
tude of Humbugs have saved to its
readers and to the country millions OF
dollars that woald have gone into the
hands of sharpers. The depal tments
for housekeepers and children are very
useful and entertaining. In short, the
American Agricultural is full of good
things, and ought to be in every house
In the land. The circulation Is so

George Francis Train has issu-
ed a newspaper. He says he has
dropped the ego and assumed the
universal; has discovered the
principal of evolution and holds
The power of life and death. He
refuses society, sees no adults,
lives alone, and blesses the world
with perfect knowledge. His
strongest points are made against
congress, but he is for Tilden,
nevertheless. He says he has a
psychologist yardstick and can
measure 3 mans life to a point.
On his death-roll of this year are :
Kaiser William, Bismark, the
car, the sutton, by poison; Vic.
toria b. paralysis; Prince of
Wales, by apoplexy; the pope,
from old age; Disraeli, from govt

the Times, aud Carlyle. In this

bilt, Gen. Dix, Bryant, Drew and
Peter Cooper. all. from old age.
Fernando Wood, Cox and Gen.
Butler, from high living and bad
ventilation. The Manhattan
club will die from canvas-back
dinners, and Tilden from income
tax on the stomach, and the cleo
toral college from congestion of
the Republican brains and con-
stipation of the Democratic
bowels. He has offered Tweed
thirty years of robust health If
he will only allow him to write
his bills of fare, but he says the
old fool was too stupid to accept
the proposition. He says Ed
munds' plan of counting the
vote is only game to elect Hay
cs. and to whitewash the the
governors of South Carolina,
Louisiana and Florida, for cheat
ing Tilden out of his birthright-
a game of Republican poker that
is to much for Democratic keno.
He concludes with the statement
that he is the only sane man in
