On the lst., as Mr.. Salamon Aired

On the lst., as Mr.. Salamon Aired
was passing up the road, about one mile
below Centerville, with his rifle on his
shoulder, he saw a cougar after two
calves. He brought his gun to bear on
the cougar and fired, when the animal
left the calves and made direct for Mr..
Aired. He stood his ground with
dubbed rifle, when just as the cougar
got near enough to begin his attack,
the fatal bullet had done its work, and
the animal dropped dead within reach
of the gun that shot him.

A few lawless characters in Texas

A few lawless characters in Texas
have organized an expedition, with the
purpose of invading Mexico, expecting
to annex more Territory to the United
States. A late news dispatch says:
"The movements of. fllibusters styled
the army of occupation which is being
agitated at Austin, Texas, are closely
watched by Gen. Ord, whose orders in
regard to the neutrality laws are very
strict. The Mexicans are reported to
be also ready to give them a warm re-
ception. Gen. Ord thinks there is lit
tie in the movement. 1t is probably
inaugurated by German or English in
tuence in Mexico to interrupt the good
feeling between the United States and
Mexico, thus to retard railroad build
ing, which would greatly endanger
their trade"

Just at sunset, on the evening of sept.
IL, 1873, while travelling eastward on
the line of the Fitchburgh Railroad, |
made sn observation Of rainbow,
which presented features which, II

For a considerable portion OF the way,

until nearing Boston, after the bow
had been visible some fifteen minutes
or more, was the storm entered. The
curious PACE between the train and the
bow, the changing Of their relative
positions as the track curved In one d.
rectiOn or the other, was extremely In
teresting to watch, as the bow shifted
its position from enc side Of the track
20 the other, finally settling down
nearly across the road, after which the
storm was soon met. The bow was az
no time complete, its greatest extent
being about two-thirds OF semi-circle.
while its opposite extrenIties were al
;ernstely visible. y secon larry spec
trum accompanied this bow, the cOlors
being of course reversed. Both the
primary and secondary spectra were
fairly bright. the width OF the primary
being about half a degree. Inside the
primary bow and eoncen;rie with it
were three smaller spectra, extending
through about sixty degrees of arc,
their widths, as compared with that Of
the primary, being about in the proper

rhe outer ones being the widest. The

OF this drug one person dies, making
the chances of death about three times

where one WAS killed 20 every GVco can-

calls attention to the admitted fact that

use of which is almost absolutely free

note that new SUse:thetic has been

he claims Is even less dangerous than

BAkBEgoUs WIRE FENCE.-Nith a
few weeks We have talked 10 several OF
our readers relative to. the barbed wire
fence, and the almost universal opinion
Is that 1t Is Objectionable on account OF
its severity, that it is ugly 10 handle
and very liable 10 injure stock. There
are times when cattle will attempt to
break through or jump over almost any
kind OF fence, and tney are liable 10
fall In doing so. In appearance the
wire fence does not look SO formidable
as the common wood fence, and hence
it Is more likely 10. be subject 10 attack.
When cattle start on the run 10 Jump
over, they do not stop 10 consider the
danger. II the fence Is Of wood the
injury il not likely 10 be serious, but If
it Is OF barbed wire the consequence
may be alarming. Hence the objection
20 this class of iron fence. II We must
use wire fence. we prefer il should lie
plain without the baros, and then If
cattle do get entangled on il the dan
gers are not likely TO be Of serious
natuIe. One thing Ia pretty well SET

None of the above bsrbs are adapted 10

Moist dir not Healthf,,l in D,reliiags.-
The theory is now ingeniousiy main
tanned that the summer condition of
temperature, % deg. 10 8S deg. and re-
lative humidity, 50 20 SJ per cent, Is
not desirable or even attainable, at other
seasons, in the heating of dwellings.
The argument is, thai the dry air OF
America possesses both curative and
preventive qualities of great value, and
that moist air. which promotes vegeta-
Die growth, Is, on sanitary grounds, not
desirable for breathing. It ID stated
that the dew point Is tar below the free
zing point of water in well warmed aud
ventilated rooms, where there is noih-
ing of that sensation OF dryness which
is usually held to accompany the heat
Of furnace, when not supplied with
water for evaporation. Again, new
houses, that are accounted unhealthy
In Europe, are not so In America, and
gas burned In rooms produces much less
unpleasant effects In America than In
England; what Is needed is an equality
in relative humidity between the inte-
rior and exterier air--thus, If the outer
temperature be zero, and relative hu-
mldity 40 per cent, and the interior
temperature be 20 deg. the interior hu-
midity ought TO be raised to 20 deg. by
adding little water.
