Three Hundred and Fifty Miles
on Dog Sleds.

The Helena (Mont.) Independent of
April 20 says: Many of our readers
have read descriptions of travel in the
sGreat Lone Land" of British America
during the winter months; trips under
taken by hardy, adventurous travellers
and explorers; of their almost incredi-
BILE suferings in the bleak snow wastes
and Solitudes of the territory stretching
through the country to be traversed by
the Canada Pacific Railroad. During
the winter months, when the snow has
fallen to a great depth and remains
packed until spring, only the most adj
venturous of the Hudson Bay factors and
the couriers employed to carry the mails
between the posts, venture to face the
merciless storms and fierce winds that
sweep over the vast snow fields and
mountains of the Northwest Territory.
In winter the travel through that coun-
try is exclusively by dog sleds. 1t is
nothing unusual for man to undertake
journey on dog sleds, but it is some
thing novel and unusual for woman to
undertake and successfully perform such
a journey.
Mrs. S. G. Ashby, of this city, received
letter from Colonel Macleod, who is a
member and has been attending ses-
sion of the Northwest Council, at Fort
Pelly, in which he states that his wife,
who Joined him at Chicago, accom-
panied him on the journey to Fort Pelly.
From Winnipeg they journeyed to the
fort, distance of $50 miles, on dog
sleds, and accomplished the trip with
safety and comparative comfort. When
! it is taken into consideration that it is
Mrs Macleod's first trip to the noun
tains, and her first introduction to theil
immense snow plains, it must be con-
fessed that she is a lady of unusual spirit
and courage to undertake such q
Journey The council had adjourned
and the Colonel expected to start fol
Canada in a few days.

A Remarkable Case of Jaw Dis
location.

Over two months ago young lady at
Monroe went to dental office to get
tooth extracted, and during the opera
ton the lower jaw was dislOcated. The
misfortune prevented her from either
speaking, or eating any solid food, and
besides it was the cause of intense pain.
Physicians were summoned, but for
some time none knew the true nature OF
the case. After several weeks had
passed, one of the physicians of Mon
roe gave it as his opinion that the jaw
was dislocated. Upon this discovery,
a council of physicians was called, and
the best means of re-setting the jaw was
discussed. 1t was decided to put the
unfortunate young lady under the intiu-
enee of anasthetics, and make an at
tempt to repair the injury. This failed,
and second attempt was made, which
likewise failed. As a last resort a ply
stefan from this city was called, and on
Wednesday evening he went to Monroe
to examine the patient, and once more
concluded to administer anestbetics,
and make third trial to reset the jaw.
II had been dislOcated for sixty-three
days, and consequently he worked I'M
der what might be considered discourage
inc circumstances. The Doctor weni
to work, however, with skill and con
fidence which showed that he meant
success, and in three minutes after the
anesthetics were administered the jaw
was put in its place without serious diff.
Guilty, and when the Doctor left the pa
tent, she was in happy condition, anc
will soon recover from the effects of the
long and terrible dislocation.-'Jones

Funerals as Disease Breeders.

There is good reason to believe that
disease is occasionally disseminated
through the medium of funerals. We
have at least one fairly authenticated in
stance in this country of diphtheria be-
inc Gffilsed broadcastthrough thecrowd-
ing incident, Occasionally, to the last
ceremony. In America this question is
beginning to receive much attention,
and several cases have been reported OF
late. where the transmission of the dis
ease from the corpse seemed highly
probable. The Suffolk District Medical
Society sent out 400 circulars to medical
practitioners, with a view to ascertain
the opinion of the profession on the al
legged dangero of permitting public funer-
ais of persons who had died from diph-
liberia. Two hundred and thirty-nine
answers were received :, of these 143
writer's express a belief in the possible
danger of contagion at funerals seven
teen believe that there is danger from
funerals in the houses of the dead, but
none in churches; twenty mine fancy
that in the present state of knowledge
there is no justification in prohibiting
public funerals; and eight record cir
cumstances which occurred in their
own experience confirmatory of the
proposition that peril may ensue but
the testimony these latter advance is not
quite satisfactory. The Society, after
due consideration, recommend that
funerals at the houses of those who have
died Of diphtheria should be private
owing to possible exposure to the poison
of the disease.-Londoa Lancet.

The chief claim for support and patronage
by some of the manufacturers of Baking
Powder in this country, seems to be based on
the idea of always vilifying and traducing
the character and quality of the goods of
other manufacturers. "Our goods, or none"
is their motto. The manufacturers of Do0-
LEY's YEAST POWDER set up no such arbi-
trary claim; but they DO claim 70 produce an
absolutely pure, wholesome, and, in sgryy cay,

decision canceling conveyance OF some
property which Gov. Jewell obtained a
dozen years ago, not long before her
death, from an ignorant woman in De-

ground that she was insane and inca
pacitated to transact any business at the
time, and the property, worth some
$1,000. reyerts to the woman's heirs.

Owls are of immense service as YER
min destroyers. An English game
keeper found an owls nest with one
young bird in it. He visited it for SO
consecutive mornings, and in that time
removed from it los rats, 40 mice, II
shrew mice, 2 robins, and l sparrow.
This was, and wen it might have been,
over and above what the OWLS consump-
ton demanded.

WORDS OF WIsDoM.-There is no surer
rescue and relief for the South than to build
trans-contincntal line from the Missis,
sippi river to the Pacific ocean on the old
survey that George b. Mcclellan. OF penn-
sylvania, made under the direction OF Jet-
fcrson Davis, Secretary OF War under pre-
sident Pierce, 1S53-'54. That great work
will do more to weld the South TO the
Union than any modern measure OF re-
construction. It is the one thing !or
the permanent redemption OF the soutn:
It ought not to be made JOB, anu u
should be as free and as .untalntea as
any other great international enterprise;
me building of the Southern 1e1aS ana
Pacific railroad soiV do more TO an'oersat-
ize and extend oar commerce ar,th the e0ette
American States than any DINER noae17'
erent. It will open Mexico TO our manu-
features and trade; it will ultimately COM
mel regular steam-lines between Baltimore,
charleston, New Orleans, and the South
American ports, and will thus open new
markets for all our home products. true
craftsmanship consists in true economy;
hit there is n great difference between the
economy which withholds generous gifts TO
industry and the economy which suspects
every great enterprise. Philadelphia

Of. Fl. Peirpoint, Ex-Governor (bogus)

The Dispatch is always illogical when it
refers to such matters, and seems entirely
incapable of comprehending the fact that
the only genuine government in Virginia
during the war was at Wheeling and Alex
andria. There cannot be two genuine gov
ernments in q State-even the UtSpatch

State that goes into an alliance with war
upon the central government OF the FED
eral misunderstanding itself dissolved from
all connection with that government or allie
glance to it-cannot be considered as hay

10 its allegiance. By all the tests known to
the Constitution of the United States Gov

All right; but he will never appear in

bayonets. Mr.. PEIRPoINT and the rest OF
the disloyal sops OF Virginia whom the Fed
eral Government used as instruments toad
in the work Of undermining the new Union
TO which the old State bad attached herself

every true man in the North has more real
respect for the Virginians who stood
by Virginia than for those who be.

enemies. 1t is impossible that it could
be otherwise. The Intelligencer knows that
nine tenths OF the natural leaders OF the
West Virginia people sympathized with the
South during the war. We asked a Nor
eantown Union-man soon after the war
closed-himself q man of wealth and repu-
tation-how it had happened that the offices
in West Virginia had fallen into the hands
of the very scum Of the earth? lie replied
