THE FIVE vowELs.


There are q number of words in the
English lang uage, each of which con.
tains all the five regular vOwels, but it
would puzzle almost any one to think
of more than one or two at short mo-
tice. The following may be given as
examples: Education, reputation, reg
ulation, emulation, perturbation, men-
suratiOn, reputation. Besides these
there are several words, each contain
ing all the vOwels, including the .'y."
OF course we may mention revolution
ary, elocutiOnary, and unquestionably.
The word indiyislbiIity may be noted
as peculiar word, for il contains the
letter '.i" six times. Mississippi and
Tennessee are each spelled with only
four different letters of the alphabet,
although one contains eleven letters
and the other nine. Schnapps, word
of one syllable and eight letters, con-
tains but one evowel.There are no words
in the English language of more than
eight syllables, and of those contain
ing that number may be mentioned
incomprehensibility.

QUEER DoINGs OF AN OIL WE'LL
The people of Warren township, But
Ter county, Pa, are somewhat excited
by the strange freaks witnessed at the
test well on the McCandless farm
(Murry's Mill.) This well has been
flowing water, of the spa quality, ever
since it has been finished, throwing it
at first about 100 feet, but now about
40 feet high. On Sunday morning,
about nine O'Clock, the family living
on the farm were supposed to hear
what they supposed to be thunder.
They ran to the door and found that it
proceeded from the well, attended with
balls of fire rising above the water and
exploding with tremendous shocks. A
few minutes later, they noticed cub
terranean rumbling,apparentlyat dis
tance when first heard, but the cause
soon made it's appearance at the we'll
as before.

Old Anton Miklancie died recently
at Trieste, Austria, at the comfortable
age of la years. He was born April
10, 1764, five years before Napoleon 1.
He was probably the oldest man in
Europe. Nearly the whole city turned
out to his funeral.
e Mrs. Lucy Nichols, of Waterbury,
Ct, celebrated her hundredth birthday
ON Sunday. At Is p. m., when the
company thought of retiring, she was
still fresh, and wanted to make night
of it. When 1 get started she said,

constantly till he was 100 years old
and then reformed and discarded the
weed, as it might affect his health. He
also gave up tea and coffee at the same

health. and fair appetite, and is so
well preserved that he thinks of get.

A CUBE FOR CANCER.


{ Mr.. David Culpepper, of Russell
County, Alabama, requests US to pub.
lish to the world for the benefit of the
afflicted, that he has been cured of
cancer by the use of the following rec
ipe, and that he believes it is an infalli-
bic remedy for that dreadful disease !:
Recipe-Take equal quantity of the
roots OF white ash, black sumac, and
fat lightwood or pine, and boil them
IN water until a strong tea is made,
and use it for constant drink in place
of water, tea, coffee, milk or any other
beverage, and cat nothing salt or
greasy. Take new tar and simmer it
over slow fire until 1t forms tough
wax, and apply in the shape of plas-
ter to the cancer, over which fret
sprinkle corrosive sublimate the plas-
ter and corrosive sublimate to be re-
.newed every other day, as most con-
'venient, the cancer to be kept dry. II
this remedy is followed without regard
to pain or swelling, which will both
be great, and all stimulants refrained
from, Mr.. CulpePper guarantees per-
feet and speedy cure. We give the
recipe fo- what it is WORTH. without
knowing anything of its value.

How long will the farmers of Ohio
submit to the depredations of worth
less dogs? The dogs usually. in the
general assembly of our state as well
as other states, command more votes
than the poor sheep who are consiga-
ed to the tender mercies of the worth
less hordes Of dogs that infest our
country. Sheep raisers are subjected
to such heavy losses, from year to year,
from the depredations of dogs that they
arc compelled to abandon the business
Why is it that farmers cannot get
the general assembly to pass efficient
laws for the protection of sheep? If
our merchants and manufacturers re-
quire law for the protection of their
interests, involving the amount of cap.
ital and losses that the wool-growers
are subject to. year after year, there is
not member Of the general assembly
but what would come to Ahe rescue
and give them the needed legislation.
Over 100000, 600 are invested in
sheep in the United States, which pro-
duces annually 1S5, 100000 pounds of
wool, and at least 3O0,OOO,OOO pounds
of mutton, worth At a low etimate
$50, COO 600. Ohio, in 1878, had 4, 100,
2S6 sheep, valued at .$lO.l73,O46 !;
pounds of wool shorn, Is. .6S4 ,276, or
an average of A on pounds per sheep.
The wool and mutton are worth at q
low estimate $7,OO1,OOO.
In 1874, 172 2,57Odogs-which is much
less than the real number in the state
ARE charged with killing 81 ,69l sheep,
and injuring 25,77O; estimated loss,
S145,354. The loss for period Of five
years, from 1870 to 1874, was 1S7, ,O32
sheep killed and 233, $50 injured es.i
ti,nated loss $6S3 47S50. ts asoEf Ga
z The wool-grOwerss of Ohio have
charged against the dogs for depreda-
tions committed on their fiocka. for
tho last five years, s7s3474. Support
of dogs for the same period not less
than $lO,OOO,OOO.i Quite a formidable
SUM to be charged 10 their account,
but, formidable as it may appear, it is
much less than the real cost of sup
port and losses, if we take into con-
sideration the damage done to other
stock and the numberless lawsuits
growing out of their misdemeanors,
What services have the dogs in Ohio
rendered i'm the last five years to en-
title them to credit that would bal.
ance against the amount of damages
they justly stand charged with: Can
any one assign plausible reason why
dogs should be protected rather than
sheep2 They are not adding q single
dollar 10 the wealth of the country or
giving profitable or useful employ
ment to a single individual. 5sss
The wool-growers of the state are
paying taxes on the sheep to the
amount of $1O,173,O46. There are 223
wooden establishments in the state
that employ 2.243 hands and consume
3,9lO,O34 pounds of domestic and g.
200 pounds of foreign wool, which is
manufactured, mainly, into cloth, cas-
simeres, doeskins, jeans, fannels and

: Telephones of the home made kind
are becoming numerous and popular.
Some do not know how the rig is
made, and therefore it should be ex-
planned. Two tin cylinders are pro-
vided, Across one end of each is
tightly streatched disc of skin such
as is used on banjo, and which can
be procured at music store. Each
disc is perforated in the center. A
silk cord of the desired length con-
meets the cylinders. being passed
through each of the drums and fasten-

difficult matter. A Telephone made

ABOUT ONIoNs.-Onions sliced and
put in plates in sick room are an ex-
cellent disinfectant, and will prevent
contagion from eruptive troubles.
They should be removed and fresh
slices put in their places as soon as dis
colored. Be sure that these slices are
buried, or put where they cannot be
eaten, as soon as taken from the room.
1t is not safe to use onions that are
not taken fresh from the earth during
an epidemic or eruptive diseases, as
they are SO quickly sensitive to or
with any cOLtag ion or
malaria in the atmosphere.
