The italian bark Giacomini, Captain
Bonifazio, arrived in Baltimore Satur-
day morning from Aberdeen, Scotland.
Captain Bonifazio reported at the Gus

about $50 miles off The Azores, a boat
containing eleven of the crew of the
English steamer Borussia, which foun-
dered at sea on the I'd of December. The

the Giacomini were as follows: Pas-

McCabe, Rossandro Gonzales, Gaetemo

Gerritz VIM. Fisher, Patrick Sava and

notified his consignees, G.. Schiaffino &
Co., on South Gay street, and the res
cued passengers and crew reported to
the British Consul, where they related
the experiences of the wreck and were

A Cmsarean Operation.
Scientific American.

Twelve Philadelphia physicians
lately assisted at the delivery OF
Mrs. William Burnell. by c;esarean
operation. The mother is . dwarf,
thirty two years old, and tortytwo
inches high. Owing to peculiar
deformity it was seen that it would
be impossible for. her to give birth
to the child i'll the usual manner.
Porrow's method was adopted.
An incision was made on the me-
dian line Of the abdomen, and the
abdominal walls were cut through.
The womb was removed, an incision
made in it to correspond with those
in the abdominal walls, and the in
FAINT released. After that the womb
was restored to its bed and closed,
and the other parts brought to-
gether. The clothing and all arti-
cles in the room were subjected to a
solution Of carbolic acid spray, &C
cording to Lyster's method, during
the operation. The pulse of the wo-
man remained excellent throughout
the whole of this severe trial, and
all her symptoms were favorable.
At last reports both mother and
child were doing well. Both would
have died except tor the heroic treat
ment adODted.

Bees.

There are two hundred thousand
bee hives in the United States.
The bee is said to be a resident
of any climate of the globe. 1t will
prosper in hollow trees i'll Canada,
where mercury will freeze in the
open air, as well as at the equator.
Weeds or small brush set up before
the entrances to hives will prove con
siderable Of barrier against rob
bers, as they dislike very much to APP
proach the entrances by winding
passages. A little precaution OF
this kind may save many a colony
from destruction.
Many persons now keeping bees
receive no profit or benefit. Bee
keeping, when properly managed
is a remunerative business, and is
especially adapted to men who have
become debilitated or who are adj
vanced in lite, and ladies who are
dependent on their labor for their
support. 1t is an easy vocation,
and within the ability of invalids.
Many who are not sufficiently strong
and healthy to perform hard labor
can attend to an apiary, there be
ing but little labor required after
they are once put into proper con-
ditiOn.

Oyer-Cr0l,ping.

The greatest evil OF Southern ag-
riculture. says the Dixie Farmer, is
over.cropping, planting a greater
number Df acres than can bc prop
erly prepared and cultivated. The
small, tidy farm-tlat is, one which,
in all it's arrangements, is Just large
enough. and no more, for the force
that IS to cultivate it, is rarely seen.
Such farms are few and far between.
The rough and tumble plantations
4hatwc see in every direction, where
disorder seems to be the presiding
genius of the place, are mainly due
to over. cropping. The great funda-
mental maxim OF all true agrlcul-
ture. that production must be in
proportion to tillage, is either not
known or forgotten upon such farms,
and in it's stead is adopted the
maxim that production is in pro,
norton to the quantity of surface
to which the rude and unshapely
counterfeit of tilage is given.
To obtain as much as possible
from the number Of acres a hand
can cultivate thoroughly, and to
attempt to cultivate no more than
can be made to yield the maximum
of profitable production, should be
the main object of every farmers
labor and skill. Until we become
satisfied to cultivate smaller sur
face. and to bring to bear on all the
varied operations and processes OF
that cultivation; more practical
science and experimental knowl-
edge. the best means of preparation,
the best arrangements to guard
against the vicissitudes OF the
greatest quantity and best quality
Of agreeable productions can never
be reached. A large crop OF thor
ough cultivation, is invariably the
most advantageous. 1t demon
strates the skill and industry OF the
farmer, and the extent to which
agricultural development can be
carried, beneficial to the farmer
who exhibits it in dollars and cents,
and beneficial i'll example to all who
see it.

SINGULAR DEATH. BY LIGHTNING. -
The Rochester Express describes a
singular case OF death by lightning
in the town of Belcoda, on the night
Of the 9th of July, the victim being
the wife of Charles DeGaugh. Mrs.
DeGaugh, who was about twenty
years Of age, heard the storm APP
preaching early in the evening, and
said to her husband she was afraid
Of lightning and would go to bed.
She did 50, taking her child, not yet
two years old, with her. Later in
the night the husband was awakened
by the cries Of the child, which had
been sleeping IN the arms Of its mo-
ther, and discovered that his wife
was dead. There was no mark or
trace Of lightning on her body, ex-
cept that her hair was slightly
singed. The post of the bed near
her feet was split and Clipped off as
ii done with a Ratchet, but there was
no trace on the floor or the wall
where the bolt had entered or passed
ont. Neither the child nor its father
was injured in the least,
Probably the Oldest Democrat
who voted on Tuesday was John
Balrdett. Of Oconce county, South
Carolina. He il los years old, and

Keen Borax in the House.

Having long used borax for
various domestic and hygienic
purposes, / have come to re-
gard it as a necessity. House
keepers who do not use it have
something yet to learn concerning
a very convenient and useful article.
In the laundry it is economical, as
it saves both labor and soap, and is
really cheaper than the latter. For
blankets and other large articles it
is especially valuable, and in all
cases the use of little boraN will
save half the labor when articles
are much soiled, while it is not in
furious to clothes. 1t is perfectly
effectual in driving away red ants,
cockroaches, etc, if sprinkled
around on pantry shelves, or put in
small quantities on paper and
placed in the runways OF the insects.
Borax is also of great value for
toilet uses. For removing dandruff
and cleansing the hair it is I'M
equalell. 1t is also q good remedy
for rough face and chapped hands.
Its application to wounds, sores,
bruises, sprains, ETC., proves very
salutary, and is often the only rem
edy required, even i'll severe cases.
Indeed, borax is one of the best
remedies for many ailments in our
whole hygiene, and for that reason
alone should be kept ready for use
when wanted.
