ease, located in three different places. a
ringbone is where the disease involves the
pastern joint.
The spawn, the hook bone, and splint
the splint bone joining that to the common
bone. This disease is an Inflammation OF
the senovial membrane secreting the seno-
vial fluid; by which this secretion is less
ened, and the Inflammation causes the de-
post of bony matter, making the bone
rough and its action grating where it had
before been smoother, and its action per-
feet. This action increases the disease,
which goes on till snchylosis takes place.
and the joint is lost by the joining of the
joint. and there being no action, there is
no irritation and no pain causing lame
ness. As this goes on the fungoid growth
of bone outside is called cxostosis. Hard
driving or hard drawing may produce
ringbone, by requiring of the joint more
service than it can perform with safety
Ringbone and SPAWN is hereditary in this
way. that horses may be bred with weak
joints; breed for good, strong, solid joint
and you will not be troubled with ringbone.
Ringbone can be arrested by arresting the
cause, the motion and straining which de :
yelops the Inflammation, give rest, but
when lameness has continued till the de-
post of bony matter has commenced then
nothing can be done but to get up an
increased Inflammation which shall com
pletely anchylose the parts or grow the
bones of the joint together, which is the
only cure possible in such cases and no
SPAWN can ever be cured in any other way
except this. by the obliteraton of the joint.
The same effect may be produced ty burn
ing, the result to be produced is an intense
Inflammation and curing is only fastening
the process by which the joint is grown
together.
In answer Dr. Cressey said he did not
know the cause of cribbing and could pre-.
scribe no cure. Bog or soft SPAWN is where
there is an increase of the senovia, some
times seen in colts of three years old whcf
may be perfectly sound at five years old
Bog SPAWN will never become bone spawn
unless it takes on sinovilis. The symptoms
of SPAWN vary, sometimes lameness, some
times bunch. For blood SPAWN, which i:

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS from three or four

statement that invitations to a congress on
the eastern question to be held at Berlin
June II have been issued, and Vienna
dispatch announces that Count Andrassy
has accepted the invitation, and proposes
to leave for Berlin June 0. The London
Post says that distinct understanding is
being brought about with Russia, and that
Lord Salisbury will doubtless be the Eng
lish and Count Schouvaloff probably the
Russian plenipolentiary in the congress.
The London Telegraph believes that Lord
Lyons will represent Great Britain. The
understandings arrived at with Count
Schouvaloff concern matters interesting
Russia and England exclusively, it saws
Other questions, such as the Bessarabian
and indemnity, remain for settlement. The
official Vienna Abend Post says that Russia
has consented to lay the treaty of San Ste
fano before the congress, and that all the
powers have agreed to the proposal. The
Paris correspondent of the London Times
says it is thought that the congress will
come to an agreement on the chief points
and leave the settlement of the details to
resident ambassadors and second plenipo.

Reports from the Wisconsin tornado
district indicate that the loss of life and
property is far greater than ut first report
ed. Reports indicate that thirty lives
were lost and from fifty to one hundred
persons injured in one county alone. The
track of the storm was everywhere marked
by desolation and ruin. Its width is from
quarter to half mile. 1t was accom-
panied by terrific thunder and lightning.
A storm of like intensity passed ovei
nearly the same belt of country twenty
five years ago. From accounts already
received it is evident that the worst is vel

undoubtedly reach hundreds of thousands
while the loss of life, it is feared, will
largely exceed present estimates.
SINGULAR CASE.-Jonathan r. Bass

said, not a joint in his body. He canno
move even finger. He ran as captain o

When he could not do any work he had tt
quit canalng, and then went to book
keeping. His joints kept getting SITTER
and sitter. The doctors could do him ne
good, and after twenty one years, he ha.
been in bed ut the farm homestead of his
family between Lockport and Lewiston.
His trouble commenced with pain shoot
ing through the bottom of his right foot
that tumbled him TO the ground. The fool
commenced 10 swell and got to be amos,
twice its natural size. Stiffness in the
joints followed. Now Bass is literally a
bone man. There is no more bend to his
legs. arms and body than there is to a
marble statue. His arms are as fast TO his
sides rs If they were nailed there. For
eight years after he went to bed he could
me We his arms, but the joints finally be-
came solid bone. They have to feed him
with spoon. His jaws are as immovable
as his other joints. There is space be,
tween his teeth that is just wide enough to
get food through. In 1860 he became
blind. His mind is sound, but he speaks
with difficulty.

The swelling buds betoken spring,
TheI reen leaves quickly following.
Like life whose early freshness shows
The bud-then summer brings the rose.
Whose beauty is to us Joy.
Though oftentimes its thorns annoy;
The mild wind blOws-and now the sun
Burns iercely down On wood and lawn
We wait not long the ripening flower.
As fast it grows meath SUI aud shower;
Soon as by shot and shell 'twere torn
The leaves are by the strong wind borne.
They're tossed and carried far and wide
BY lOw-land and by green hillside.
As rose leaves scattered Ger the plain.
So soldiers head-stones dot the plain
As roses gathered from the stem,
All fragrant still-so deeds OF men
Are fresh in memory and will be.
While 10y al hearts beat thankfully.
Go crown those graves with garlands fair.
Let odorous roses scent the air.
And make the incense God has given.
A thankful Offering unto Heaven.

Scarce twenty suns had given glow,

Trusted and loved by all beside.

With willing feet the hour had come
When boys grow men in fever haste.
Their young hearts thrill, no time to waste,
The battle ragged. he barred his brow
To cooling winds a moment now,

NOTES FROM FORT EDWARD, N. Y
Last Wednesday morning your correspond
ent left the quietude Of his own home and
came to this village-a place of many de-
lightsome memories, where was spent, at
the halls of the far famed F f. l., nearly
two years, some eighteen years ago. The
changes that time or man has wrought
during all these years is truly wonderful.
The limits and dwellings, as also the pop
ulation of the village, has quite doubled,
while alongside or in place of the low
dingy and unpretentious dwellings of for
mer years there have arisen many man
sion or colossal structure of brick or stone
No place more perhaps than the post Office
has improved or put on the appearance OF
comfort occupying now an ample and well
arranged space upon the first floor of the
Opera building. In place of the For'
Edward Ledger, little starving sheet q
weekly items, there are now two quite re-
spectacle weekly issues or newspapers
known rs the GazeHe and Independent
The noted Fort Edward Institute, as all
know, is now in ruins, and whether it will
be again rebuilt is still = question of doubt.
But in place of that there are now the va
ried departments of the Union Graded
School and "a Boys Boarding School, kno n
us the Island Grove Seminary, situated
upon the Island which IS now connected
with the main land on either side with in
iron bridge.
As in former years, SO now, the blast
furnace, with its continued putting, put:
in its appearance; so, likewise, the paper
mill, the brewery and Jane McCrea spring
And, by the way, last season there wa!
observed at this place the one hundredtl
anniversary of the death and burial o
Jane McCrea. Here, also, is the coll &c
tors Office Of the Delaware 4 Hudson
river canal company, the junction Ct the
Glens Falls railroad, which is some day
expected to extend as far rs Lake George
Here are two banks, three first-class hotels
the st. James, Eldridge and the Millman
also five churches: the NJ. +, church. witt
Dr.. Wentworth us pastor, the Baptis
church. with Rev. Mr.. Putnam as pastor
the Presbyterian, with Rev. Mr.. Stewart a
pastor, the Episcopal, with Rev. Mr.
Cookson as rector, and the Roman Catho
lie, with Father Fitzpatrick.
Several secret societies with their ele
CANT halls are here; also n temperance re
form club association of some four hundre
or five hundred members with spaciou
parlors, kitchen, recreation rooms, etc
which are open all hours from nine o cloc
in the morning until ten o'clock in th
evening each day, for the gathering in {
the outcast and fallen. Just at this tim
the founder of the reform club at th
place, G. 9. Frost, is present as an evar
gelfst, holding meetings at Harris hal
The churches more or less unite in thes
revival meetings. The business enterprise
of the village though somewhat depresse
: seem. nevertheless, to be fully remuners

The Wisconsin tornado of Thursday
night began at Mineral Point southwest OF
Madison, and after devastating that Sec
tion rose and, passing over Madison, again
descended near Fort Atkinson, where it
did still more damage. 1t is thought that
fifty persons were killed and four times
that number seriously wounded, with, OF
course, much destruction of property. The
wind does blow sometimes out west and
Fl. Greeley never happened to be along
there at one of those times.

The Jersey aud the Common COrc.

III. s. Abbott, in the New England
Farmer, says much has been said in
regard to the Jersey COW, as being too
small for beef after becoming too old for
milk. Now, let us look at the figures in
that matter and see what the real facts
are in this case. The majority of farmers,
in looking at a Jersey COW, will say-too
small for all purposes for US farmers; We
want something that will make oxen, and
beef, and when a cow is too old for milk
we want something that will make good
beef aud a lot Of it We want none OF
your "deer" meat. | think this is mis-
taken idea that farmers have fallen into,
without looking into the question at all.
Now for the 6gures-an average Jersey
COW will, in one year, make 25O pounds
Of nice, yellow butter, worth now in the
market twenty-five cents a pound, amount
ing in one year TO S6250, and raise a
calf on the skim milk, worth, with US,
SIS, making the sum Of $3.50, without
making any charge for the skim milk, al
ter the calf is weaned Now let Us tax,
an average native or common cow and see
what she will do. From the best author
ity | can tnd together with my own ex-
perience, she will, in Que year, make 100
pounds of butter, worth now in our mark,
ct. twenty-five cents pound, amounting
to the sum of S33, and a calf, fed on skim
milk, worth S., making in all SIS. Now,
take SIS from $3.50, the amount OF the
product Of the jersey, and YOU have S44.-
% in favor Of the little jersey COW. Now,
multiply S44.50 by ten, the number Of
wears We usually milk COW before turn.
iug her into beef, and you have the nice
little sum of S445 in favor of the latter
when yCu get ready to make beef Of her
Now. IL does not make much difference
about the price Of beef in so small amount
as there would be between the large COW
aud the small one, compared with the large
difference in the amount OF butter, and IN
addition 70 the above, some credit must
he gwen 20 the Jersey, for less amount
OF food consumed, which Is about - per
cent, of the live weight on the difference
I'd the two COWS
la looking the matter over, | cannot
but come to the conclusion thst,for dairy
ING purposes, the Jersey COW Is the COW
Tor the farmers. There Is great amount
Of labor in the manufacture OF butter, both
IN doors and cut, and COW that viii
make ouly $50 pounds Of butter year Is
not worth keeping; for butter at twenty
i've cents a pound, and hay at twelve dol
lars a ton, Wi, not more than pay her
keeping, 30 that there j. tota. loss Of
,ac abor employed; whereas a cow that
makes go pounds year will afford q
good profit over the keep of the COW.
