A queer lawsuit is before Massachusetts,
tribunal. Miss Lucretia Brown AYERS that
Daniel H. Puffer, formerly of Salem, now Of
New York City, has, by the exercise of some
diabolcal art, caused her to be afflicted with
spinal disease, complaint of which she had
been cured, and she asks the court to enjoin
him from his Vaccinations against her good
health. Had these allegations been before a
Massachusetts tribunal about two centuries
ago, the accused person would have run Sc
rous risk of the gallows. But in these days

the wizards art simply applies for an in
junction.

"A Washington dispatch of the Both ulti-
mo says "There have been several indications
recently that Senator Patterson, of South
Carolina, is going over to the Democrats, and
the discovery that he cannot be depended upon
to vote for Republican President, pro tenn
pore, of the Senate, has led Republican Sena-
tors to determine to keep Ferry, of Michigan,
in that position. This can only be done by
Vice. President Wheeler absenting himself
during the remainder of The session. and it is
understood that Wheeler does not intend to
return previous to the adjournment of Con-
gress Still the Republicans do not threaten
to initiate a movement for an investigation
of the charges of bribery against Patterson,
because that would insure his going over to
the Democrats at once"

account of the growing crops in Georgia.
There is most gratifying prospect for an
abundant yield of wheat, oats, rye, barley
and vegetables. There is an unusually large
acreage in corn also the present year, and the
stands of cotton are better than ever it re-

vest of wheat and oats, now we'll advanced,

for Western corn must shortly be greatly d.
minished, and farmers are generally turning
their attention likewise to the raising of their
own meat. The people are learning the true
lesson of independence by raising their own
food, so that the cotton yield will come in as
net revenue
