"A short time since, gentleman re-
siding in this vicinity went tn PhiIa-
delphis aud put up at a hotel, and
while resting after tea In the recep-
tion room, over heard two gentlemen
conversing in regard to a trial then in
progress before one of the courts of
that city. Our neighbor learned from
this conversation that man had OBJ
tanned money upon his wife's proper
ty, the wife giving a mortgage. The
money was spent in dissipation, the
wife became a maniac, and was con-
fined to an asylum the husband died
and the children of the unfortunate
couple were furnished with guardian
by the court who was maintaining
the suit then being tried, against the
holder of the mortgage, on the ground
that the wife was not of legal age when
the instrument was executed. The
gentleman knew that a niece of his

child bad married man of the same
name as the one mentioned, and he
concluded TO investigate. He made
his way to the courthouse the follow

SOws Eating Their Young.

A letter from Paris, France, to the
Lancaster Farmer, says that many
plans have been tried to prevent sows
from dsvouring their young; the
mothers voracity is due TO the pain
the young infiIct on her when first
com mmencing to suckle, for they are
Uttered with milk teeth. and the lat
ter, often not being fficiently distant
from one another, the teat il thus Bit
ten. In france the milk teeth, at the
extremity of the jaw, are extracted, so
the mother. not being wounded, does
not become furious. Another plan Is
to rub the young with gin. as also the
mothers snout; the odor will ward
off her attacks; or pour into her ear
at the moment of litteriDg, some
drops of a mixture composed of two
parts of tiucture of opium and Is of
camphored alchohol; this will cause
sleep, and when she awakens the
young will have taken possession of
its teat, and the first 'nips' will be for
gotten.

Ashes as Cattle Feed.

The Maine Farmer says: One et
our substantial subscribers, in a re-
cent con nversation. gave his experience
in treating neat stock affected with
habit Of eating wood, chewing bones,
etc. His cattle were one spring affect
ed in this way: They became thin
in flesh, refused to eat hay, and pre-
sented sickly appearance. He put
about four bushels of leached ashes in
his harnyard and threw out to them
about shovelful each day. They all
ate il with evident relish. After turn
ing them out to pasture be put one
peck of dry ashes per week on the
ground in the pasture. They ate it
all up and gnawed Off the grass where
1t had been lying. The cattle began
to improve, gaining flesh and looking
better than they had for several years.
He now gives one quart of ashes mix
ed with the same quantity of salt, to
twelve head of cattle, about once a
week and finds It to agree with them
wonderfully.

Col. 1ngersoH Left Us.
From the Peoria Transcript.

From the Peoria Transcript.
We deeply regret to announce that
Col. r. G.. Ingersell and family have
probably finally absndoned Peoria as
a place of residence. The Colonel and
family are now keeping house in
Washington, and his own residence
in this city and that of his late father
in-law are offered for sale.
In common with the entire mass OF
our citizens we shall deeply miss the
Colonel and his family from among
US, and in common with that same
mass we wish them abundant pros
perity and unalloyed happiness in
their new home. AS a citizen and
neighbor, Col. Ingersoll has won the
hearts of every one, and whatever
may have been said about either his
politics or his religion, or rather, if
you will, his irreligion, he had not a
single enemy among Us. Democrats
as well as Republicans. church mem
bers as well as nen-churchmen, all
liked Bob. There was no man g hand
they would shake any heartier than
his. no man they liked to see prosper
In life better than to see him, and no
man they would go further to hear
than they would to hear him. We
do not believe there was ever another
man in Peoria whom Peorians were
half so proud of, and not one who
could rally as many around him on
any project he might espouse as Bob.
Generally our people have been rath-
er jealous than otherwise of each 9TH
er, and If any one mans head hap
pens to rise little above the mass,
there is always somebody ready to hit
it. 1t has not been so with IngersolI.
Everybody is agreed that the Colonel
could have their good wishes in ev-
erything except his peculiar religious
views. In politics the Colonel would
be pretty sure to carry about as many
democrats in Peoria as his opponent
would he able to withhold to himself
Our people are unanimously of the
opinion that Col. IngersoIl was most
shabbily treated by the present ma
tional administration, and they wou-
der how he has managed to be so len
lent towards President Hayes after
such inexcusable neglect. Probably
the religious element of the country
has had much to do with this, and
there are those who think they see in
the ColonePs vioIen: raids on reli-
gious dogmas a spirit of retaliation.
We hardly agree in this view.
The Colonel has been for some time
partner with his brother, Hon. z.
c. Ingersoll. engaged in law practice
in Washington, and probably goes to
that city to continue it. Much of his
practice will be carried on In the
United States supreme court. The
lecture field will probably engage
much of his time as is not occupied In
court.
