A SINGULAR FREAK.-We learn
from our friend, Mr.. c. J. Zirkle, who
resides on Smith Creek, about four miles
South of New Market, that one of his
cows frequently failed to give any milk
at the regular hours for milking. Acct
dentally 1t was ascertained that num-
Der of pigs appropriated the milk to their
own use. when ever the COW lay down.
The COW had become very fond ofthem,
and would caress and lick them and
would bawl, whenever they were away
from her. Can Page find more sensi-
BILE pigs than these The pigs fattened,
but Mr.. Zirkle's milk pail wancd, = aE

SHEEP DYINa.-We are informed
that number of sheep are dying in the
neighborhood of Milwood-one farmer
losing as many as 40 head. The disease
with which they are afflicted is called
by some ''blind staggers, but reliable
farmer in this neighborhood. whose
sheep have been similarly affected in
times past, says the affection is caused
by worm in the head, which produces
blindness that eventually ends in the
death Of the sheep. Pure turpentine.
he says, has proved to be certain cure.
When the sheep is afflicted, battle the
top Of the head with the turpentine
once day-in troublesome cases twice
a day-and the sheep will be relieved
by the destruction Of the worm. Clarke

THE GROUND HoG.-The weather
wise are drawing consolation from the
ground hog theory and predict an early
spring. We are ali disposed to place
confidence in these old signs when the
predictions are favorable. According
to the theory, the ground hog came out
on the 2e of February and, as he was
unable to see his shadow, remained
out,-a sure sign that we will have
warm weather. Had he seen his
shadow, he would have returned, and
remained in his hole seven weeks. du-
ring which time we would have had
very cold weather.

The Polish Legion and it's Com
mandeF.

Copstantinopll Cor. Sunday Mercury.
The Polish Legion, organized here uu-
der command Of au Austrian, General
Arthur Zimmerman, is gaining a large
number of recruits. An Agitation Com.
mittee, for the purpose of calling upon
all exiled Poles, no matter where resid.
ing now, to Grraign themselves under
the banner OF the legion, there to fight
their old enemy, is also doing remarka.
BILE work. This committee is in con.
stant correspondence with the Central
Polish Committee, at Geneva, whence il
receives its instructions. A most unto.
ward event has, however, befallen the
unlucky Poles. The General Commit.
tee, desiring to furnish the legion with
an able commander, commissioned
Count R~4czynski to proceed at once to
Constantiuople aud place himself there
in communication with the Minister of
War preparatory to his assuming com.
mand of the legion. Instead Of proceed
ing at once to Constautinople, he tarried
somewhat at Warsaw, where he became
acquainted with a most fascinating
young WOHlAut MISS hthStneka, VINO 40
charmed him that instead of proceeding
to the legion on the Bosphorus, he mar.
ried her and took q long honeymoon
with her to ~Spain-some say for thu pur
pose of visiting Mldhat Pasha and hav.
ing an understanding with him how to
act should he succeed in getting the
command of the legion, He is now once
more ~endeavoring to obtain the position;
but if he does, the Government can not
be too careful in watching his move
ments, since his recent long and secret
conference with Midhat Pasha, who con
tinues 10 be hated in a most unmerciful
manner by the present Sultan aud his
staff Two eminent Poles have also
been sent to London and Paris to solicit
men aud means for the Turkish cause
L. is believed hat the command in. chiel
of the Polish Legion will finally be con.
lerred upon General Wrobleuski, who
used TO be a prominent member of the
Paris Commune, but resides now in
London,
