The Osceola times., 1880-08-07

In the City of Athens. amid all the
tumult and discomfort ofa Greek hos
telry, died the writer of this strange tale.
The incidents he relates are true; he did
awaken to intellectual life the imbecile
mind OF beautiful girl, who, in the
course of her recovery, entirely forgot
him. He sought in VAIN TO win her love,
and upon the tidings of her marriage
with another he fell into a decline,
which resulted in his death in the sum
mer of Is, whether of an exhausted
spirit or broken heart, let those judge
who know the fearful strength Of human
affection.

EURO-PNEUMONIA.

Dr. Charles =. Lyman, of Philadelphia
has been making extensive investiga-
tiOns with regard to the spread of pleuto-
pneumonia among American cattle and
his report to Conyre on behalf Of the
Bureau Of Agriculture. is not calculated
to lessen the uneasiness which exists
among dairymen and stock raisers. lie
finds that the great stock yards at New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, are
the seat and disscminators of the dis
ease. Pleuro-pneumOnia is contagious.
Actual contact with affected animal, how
ever, is not necessary. 1t conveys the
poison, the pa,turage grasped by it is
sufficient, Interruptions metropolitan
and European butchers have set up
trade in the beef OF diseased animals,
which they can bnv very Cheeply from
condemned stock, claiming that the
meat of animals IN i1cipient stages of
the disease is not harmful. The efforts
toward cxtirpating the disease has been
confined to state authorities. aud rs the
laws are so unsatisfactory and Incom-
plctc DIR. Lyman advises sharp and con-
ccrtcd measures now while tn. trouble
is comparatively manageable, and hopes
that Congress will take hold of the mat
ter and make thorough work of it.

GENERAL NOTES.

An Ohio farmer says he has found by
experience that six Cotswold sheep will
not consume more food than COW.
TIE orange grove of Mrs. Harriet
Bcecher Stowe, at Mandarin, on the st.
Johns, Florida, yielded last year $1,000
to the acre.
RABIsHEs may Toe grown in very few
days by the following method: Soak the
seed in water for twenty-fOur hours, then
put IN a bag, and expose it to the sun,
and they will commence TO germinate
the same day.
LEWIS WRIGHT, of London, in his cele-
brated Book of Poultry" makes special
mention of the value of bone dust and
bone meal, and considers it one of the
most valuable of known aids 10 the sue
cessful rearing Of poultry.
A CORRESPONDENT OF the Rural N1g-
Yortcr stops cows or steers from jumping
fences by mailing a horseshoe on one
forward foot. This prevents the hoof
from spreading, and consequently rem
ders istie any attempts of the animal to
spring.
Az old dairyman recommends having
a faucet in the bottom of the cream lar
so as to draw Off the watery portion of
the cream without disturbing the rest,
as il is this watery portion which be-
comes bitter and thus imparts a bitter
taste to the butter.
The farmer who has plenty of stock
will find manure. making both simple
and easy. For the land there is nolhing
better than good barnyard manure. But
in case where there are not stock enough
on the place to yield full supply it is
the best to resort to composts.
CABBAGE, containing as it does a large
per cent. of phosphoric acld, makes one
of the most valuable kinds of food for
young pigs, calves and chickens. All
Young animals require a bountiful sup
ply of phosphate food to make bone.
Clover is next in value to cabbage.

we learned yesterday morning
on the authority of Gen. B. B. Simms,
Special Agent Of the Post Office DE,
par,ment, that the New Orleans mail
is still carried by the Lee, White
and Natchez. He came passenger
on the White on her last trip, saw it
taken ashore and saw it leave Red
River Landing by the Stage, Mr.
Thompson n charge. And at
Simmsport, on Sunday, be saw Mr.
Thompson, the Stage Driver, with
the mail brought up by the Naschez
which left New Orleans on Saturday
conversed with Mr.. Thompson about
it and asked him why 1t was that he
was conveying the mail in a wagon
Mr.. Thompson replied that his hack
was broken and was being repaired
General Simms further states thai
the Lee had the mail on her last trip
and landed it at the Wharf Boat he
fore 3 P. N. Wednesday, and it wa
taken of by the Stage, adding tina
the Post Master there is an efficien
one and never allows the mails to re
main over there.
All three of these mails, respec
lively due here on last Thursday
Saturday and Monday, though arriv
ing at the Mouth in due time, ant
leaving there in due time by TIL
Stage, have not, as yet, reached thi
point.

NoTEs AMONG The Planters,
The most encouraging reports come
to us from all quarters, respecting
the prospects among our planters
and farmers. The colored popula-
ton were never more contented or
prosperous than e. the present time,
and there are none who are possessed
of the least industry that have not
laid up a snug sum from the pro
ceeds of last years crop. Should
the present year prove anything like
80 fayorsble as the last, they will in
,'eed be independent, and We may es-
pect to see many Of them become
prnr.ietors. We have yet to hear al
the first instance in this Parish al
one wlto hss entertained the idea OF
going to Kansas. Tie frauds AMI
