THE FARM AND HOUSE,


spasmodic attack of olcomarearine
upon the brain has again afflicted the
wise man of'the american Ag,lcuzturist.
He laments the supinencss Of our dairy
men in allowing this compound of"wastc
fat" to fitch away their markets custo-
mcrs. Ever since this product was frst
made in this country the Agricuzlurist'.
wise man has periodically permitted his
wailing to be heard over the length and
breadth of the land, upon this fruitful
theme. He has abused the article and
abused all those who refused to abuse it
with him. lie says that "'eadcrs in dairy
conventions have gloritied and advertised
the stuff, and professors have cssaycd up
on 1t, and proved in the very teeth of its
natural opponents that it was really as
good, if not better, than genuine butter"
That the wise mans statement in this be-
half is true to certain extent, and can
not he doubted by any one who has at
tended our dairy conventions for several
years past. In view Of such facts, per
haps it would be wise for tho wise man to
show his authority for condcmning the
product. The leaders and professors
spoken Of are themselves manufacturers
OF genuine butter, and, according to the
wise man, 'natural opponents" Of oleomar-
galine. How, then, can lie reconcile his
condemnation with the gloriiication re-
ceivcd by the article directly from the
hands of its 'natural opponcnts?'
But with one masterly sweep of his
powerful pen he brushes aside tic leader
and professions Of the dairymcn, who ac-
tually produce genuine butter and who
should be first to complain, and enters
his protest behalf Of What he is pleased
to term "thc innocent Consumers" what
ever that may be. lie talks lcarncdly OF
''rendcrcd fat and sour mllk,'' but fails
utterly to mention the fact that the ole
omargarinc factory Of the present day is
cl. amer, as a rule, than the average dairy
where genuine butter is made. lie for
gets, also, that the laws of this State
compel every manufacturer and vcndcr
of the article to brand it with its true
name that nobody may be deceived. lie
losses sight of the further fact that nine
tcnths Of the consumers OF this horrible
product cannot distinguish its difference
| from genuine except as to the price, which
them an important advantage.
Neither leaders nor professors nor any
| other sane man will pretend tho olcmar-
garinc is as good as genuine batter, nor
can they deny that when probably man
ufactured, as it now generally is, it is an
excellent substitute for butter to those
whose means will not permit the pur-
chase of "gilt edge" This matter of pro-
| tccting the innocent consumer and max
| ing cheap capital for himself is no new
instrument for the wise man to play up
on, and he has grown quite proficient
| from long praticc.

Reports to August % show that the
fever is unabatcd in New Orleans. In
Vicksburg it is more violent and malign
than in New Orleans. There is great want
of nurses and physicians. At Memphis it is
on the iucrease. It is reported from Helena,
Arkansas, that thousands Of people have left
and others are leaving as fast as possible. In
New Orleans August % sixty new cases and
ten deaths were reported. In Vicksburg it is
attacking the negroes. The number of cases
in Vicksburg is estimated at 600. The most
piteous appeals are being issued from differ
ent parts, for financial aid, and for nurses and
physicians. The North is responding gencr-
ously from numerous points, and supplies
nurses and physicians are being sent forward

lives in their hands and going to the infected
districts for the relief of the sick and dying

THE CHAMPION ELOPER.
lOswego Palladium.

Oswego Palladium.
About five years ago Charles Draper, a
resident of the town of New Haven, but
who had been in the employ of Mr..
Benjamin Doolittle of this city, deserted his
wife and children and ran away with a
woman from Texas, in this county. The
pair returned to New Heaven subsequently
and Draper went back to his family, only to
repeat the operation O short time after.
Again the gallant Draper returned to the
bosom of his family, and finding that his
conduct was not considered up to the stand
ard of New Heaven morality, packed up, and
taking his wife and children, went down
east, somewhere near Boston. Here he
eloped with sum of money belonging to his
employer, and was sent to the penitentiary.
Becoming disgusted with the high-toned
notions of Massachusetts people, Draper
came back to New Heaven with his family
and went to work for his brother David, a
leading Methodist and the possessor of a
good-looking wife and four bright children.
In the effort to reform his hayward brother
David took him into his family and at the
falnily altar Charles and David communed.
Last week the brother came to Oswego to
dispose of some produce, and while absent
Mrs. Dave took her children to a neighbours
and asked to leave them there until she
could go to the village and have tooth ex-
tracted. After the ''sass" had been disposed
of Lere. David lost sight of Charles and re-
turned home without him. What was his
surprise OH arriving to find his house de-
serted, his children at the neighbor's and
his wife gone. The situation was only too
plain-his unfaithful spouse and ungrateful
brother had eloped. Mrs. Charles has prob
ably got used to this little eccentricity of
her husbands and don't mind it so much,
but to David it is serious matter. The
runaway pair have not been heard from since
/ their departure. When Charles returns, as
he undoubtedly will, tho citizens of New
Heaven should receive him as becomes a
| a champion eloper, and man who may at
some future time distinguish himself by
getting away with his own or somebody
else's mOther-in-laW.

Yellow Fever.


A Grenada, Miss, telegram says:
Suffering and death are in every house, and
none to wait upon the sick Fifty noble
nurses are worn out and unAagging. There
arc q few families that have been entirely
swept away.
In New Orleans, August 25th, there
had been 397 new cases in the previous "a
hours, and up to that date there had been s.
421 yellow fever cases and 5S7 deaths. An
carly abatement Of the disease is not antici-
patcd. The suffering in New Orleans is very
great
In Vicksburg the fever is spreading. Per-
sons who sought refuge in the country arc at
tackled. Flight docs not seem to protect
them. In the "a hours preceding August 25tl.
there were GS new cases, and 16 deaths.
Trains on the Vicksburg and Meridion rail-
way have ceased running, owing to quarantine
regulations. -
The following is from Memphis, August Is:
The old horrors of 1878 are being enacted un-
der many roofs here. The fever is preying in
whole families simultaneously. AS this is
written, girl, Hannah A. shittah, the last OF
three beautiful sisters, is dying, andl her father
wild with fever raves in the sound of her
death rattle. John Donovan's wife in her de-
lirium gave birth to child two hours before
doctor could be brought. The plague was
imbued and nipped the little bud and burned
the life out. Three older children in
one room died in one night Waits ore grow
ing plentiful. All who could 90 have left the
city. Many arc dying in adjacent towns,
causing panics of the widest character. The
weather is warm and dry. Three cases of ycl-
low fever have occurred in Philadelphia.
In many localities, OH Sunday, August 25th,
contributions in the churches were taken up
for the yellow fever sufferers.

Pratt. 1t happened rs follows: The girls
we're at Mr.. Pratt's store to purchase some

70 the store all alone. The girls stood chat
ting and laughing together examining the
ribbon, when Oracle espicd small cartridge
pistol on the shelf behind her, and thinking to
show 1t to Anna, handed it down, but just as
it struck the counter, the hammer hit some-
thing which caused it to go off white the pis-
tol was within foot or so of Miss Rubcrg,
the ball entering her head on the right side
and she fell forward upon the counter, then
upon the floor, and did not utter word. She
was struck scnsclcss, and never knew what
hurt her. She died in about an hour without
aaving recovered consciousness. The verdict
Of the coroncr's jury was Us follows: "Anna
Rubcrg came to her death by pistol shot in
the head, accidentally discharged while in the
hands of Oracle Pratt, and that she be ex-
honerated from all blame in the matter.

The following notice was posted on
the doors OF The First National and Quincy
Savings Banks, on the morning of Aug. 10.

The Colorado Beetle Counterfeitetl.

The demand in Germany and England
for specimens of the Colorado beetle is SO
large that an artificial supply has been
stimulated. 1t is said that at sugar fac
