As som people, says u writer, seem 10
scout the idea Of baneiul effects from the
rays Of the moon, allow me to state a few
facts known to me. In the year 1853,
when running in n bark between San
Francisco and Humboldt Bay, our provi-
sions consisted on the down trip, in most
cases, Of elk meat purchased at Humboldt
Bay, and invariably hung up in the rig
glng, covered with canvas. Upon two oc.
c%asions, when two hind quarters from the
same animal were hung up side by side,
the crew some time in the night uncovered
II OF them, to cut of some pieces OF bait
for the numerous fishes following in our
wake, and neglected to replace the canvas
covering. In tho morning the cook no.
ticed that the meat had a Shiny appear
ance, but, not suspecting anything, cut
oil sundry slices to cook for breakfast.
The result was that the whole ships com.
pany were made sick, myself included,
which the Captain, on inspecting the
quarter OF meat, decided was owing
TO the effect Of the moons rays, and
ordered It to be thrown overheard; but the
mate, ridiCuling this idea, directed the
steward to slice Off more Of the same for
his dinner, and ut the same time two OF
the crew ate Of the tainted meat, The
result was that all three were made ex.
tremely sick, with symptoms resembling
those OF cholera, viz: vomiting, cramps,
&c. The rest Of the crew who ate from the
other leg were not affected, and we ate
from the one that remained until our ar.
rival in San Francisco. | have seen in
China seas two or three instances Of men
who had slept on deck exposed to the rays
OF the full moon being attacked with
moon blindness'-that is, unable to see
in the night, although perfectly able to see
in the daytime. Those attacks after a time
wore of. Although not superstitious, l
fully believe in the baneful effects Of The
moons rays, | think that these effects
are more prevalent in the tropical water,
especially in the Pacific and Indian oceans,
and only under Cloudless skies.

GOLD INTIIE BLACK HILLS.
A Absorption of the Mining Region, I
Needs and Promise,

A absorption OF the Mining Region, It's
Needs and Promise.
At a meeting OF the Bullion Club last
night Mr.. Harris, a practical miner, gave
an interesting sketch ofthe ups and downs
OF the Orinoco Mining and Exploring
Company in Venezuela. He attributed
its failure to the want of good men on the
spot, but is still Of the opinion that a rich
deposit Of orc exists, although the mine
from neglect has caved in. MIR. Lee Cum
ningham, who Is connected with the
Father de Smet" stamp mill, gave an in
teresting talk Of the present condition Of
the Black Hills territory. He described
the country in its geographical bearings
and limited the mining belt proper to 90
miles north and south and 10 to 90 miles
east and west. There were now, he said,
so mining companies actually at work and
5000 inhabitants. The milling machinery
was valued at S2,0O0,0O0 and 100000 600
pounds Otore had been extracted. From the
Placer mines 100000 0 had been realized
and $4,O0O,OW from the Quartz mines.
There was plenty Of water and the value
OF the mines consisted in the magnitude
and character OF the ores. Only the plain
est kind OF machinery isreQuired. a stamp
mill consists Of stamps. battery and a cop
per.plate, and recently some Concentrations
had been added. lie estimated the cost
Of running a 40-stamp mill to be SO for
labor and S3l for material, or$G0 per diem
for 30 tons. With veins 40 feet wide, the
outside cost ought not to exceed 81 80 a
for labor, He believed that the total cost
of delivering gold ut the mill should not
exceed So per ton. The average yield OF
gold was $40 to SIS 90 in every ton of ore,
so that in each ton mined there was a
profit on the cost of at least 200 to 800 per
cent. Mr., Cunningham thought that The
great drawback was high freights, which
averaged from New York to Chicago four
cents per pound. 1t was absolutely me-
cessary that a railroad should be built to
Deadwood to reduce the price Of labor,
which now commands s. so per day, orSi
more than the Colorado price.

dation upon which our financial system
now rests, as any section Of the State, We
are becoming more self reliant, culiyatinV
more acres and buying less from abroad
and, though profits on out stock raising
are small, yet we are advancing slowly.
Our village Is fully mp to the average
Of country towns, and really shows evil
denCes 0 fthriit that are lacking in many
West Virginia villages.
Our Presbyterian people dedicated Q
beautiful church about q year ago, and
now our Methodists are to dedicate theiI
new house OF worship on the 25th inst
Bishop Harris will conduct the dedicatory
services. Our people Of both denonina'
tons have set an example In their church
building enterprises worthy to be followed
by all church building committees. The
NJ. L, church, now about complete, will
cost, with It's furniture, over $1,000, every
dollar Of which will be collected and paid
over before Ii is dedicated. No debt will
be upon 1t, nor will there DO any contribu.
tons asked for on that day. The Presby.
terian church is nearly as fortunate, hav-
ing but a very small Indebtedness resting
upon 1t. Both churches have good par
sonages attached.
One feature OF the NJ. L. Church is is
splendid lighting arrangements. The
Coleman gas.maChine used, was purchased
Of your reliable gas.ftting firm, rrimble &
HOrnbrook, BY whom the fitting was done
and the fixtures supplied, The chande,
lier Is al elegant one Of twelve lights, and
all the fixtures arc in keeping with It.
This firm has fitted up two private resi-.
dences here with this machine, and they
have been giving entire satisfaction fol
several years. The fitting up Of the church
was done by their very competent man,
Ed. Hornbrook, who does his work well
and who has made many friends by his
genial ways and aifable manners.

From the Rural Home,
The largest orchard in the world Is
doubtless that owned and worked very
successfully by Mr.. Robert McKinstry, Of
Hudson, Columbia county, N. Y. The
orchard Is situated on the east bank Of
Hudson river, on high, rolling table land,
and contains more than $4,000 apple trees,
100 pears, 1000 cherries, 800 peaches, 200
plums, 200 crabs, 1900 vines, 0,OOO currants
and 200 Chestnuts. The varieties grown
are: Rhode Island Greening, 1000; Bald.
wins, 5000; King of Tompkins County,
1000 Astrachans, 500; Northern Spy, 500:
Wagner, 800; Gravenstein, 400; Cranberry
Pippils, 200; Ben Davis, 200; Duchess OF
Oldenburgh, 200; with Jonathans, Hub.
badstons, Cayugas, Nanderveers, Permains,
PecE's Peasants, twenty-ounce Pippins,
Russets and Others in less number.
The pears are Bartlett, B. d'Aniou,
Sheldon, Seckel and Lawrence chiefly, or
cherries there are twenty.eight varieties,
The orchards are remarkably thrifty, and
the oldest trees are about twenty years
old. The soil Is dry, rolling gravel, with
some limestonei the trees are planted
some twenty feet apart, and do not by
any means seem 10 be crowded, The
ground is plowed several times in the wear
and Kept iallow; except when thought ad.
yisable it is seeded to clover. The orchard
Is lntersected by roads over six miles in
length for the passage OF wagons, andis
bounded by a continuous row Of apple
trees set ten feet apart for four miles and
