JonH LAW himself wns not a moro willy

ut M ngo when most lnen nro thinking OF

Ing engineering enterprise OF the ago. Ills

pared tho way TOR tloat!ng tho 1'anatna scheme
by beginning tho publication in Paris Of q
Journal called tho Inter Occantc Canal Dultc-
tin, which was filled with contributions from
scientific men known throughout Eu-
rope. Tho pnper OF special interest to
American readers will be that compar-
Ing tho prospects Of tho Panama with
those Of tic Suez Canal, Tho Pana-
Nla Canal will hayo length Of only 5000
yards between tho deep waters Of tho two
oceans, while the sucz Canal IL lis, no yards
long. Tho Suek Canal has ton loeks,-thrce
double and soYen single. Tllo Panama will
hnye but five, ull double. Aall-bonts pass
the Suez Canal In sixteen hours. At Panama
most vessels caN llake tho transit between
Bunrl8o and sunset, aud mall.boats III eight
hours. Salllng-yessUls viii have grcat nd
yantage at tho latter canal, rs they will not
be required to traverse tho narrow and dan.
gcrous lscd Sea, which Is 2,0l4 miles long.
Tho Canal D4tletln furnishes tables to
show that tho traffic ready to pass through
tho callal will bo amply sufficient to sustain

FOOD ADULTERATIONs,

Some time ago three prlzcs+ nggregattng

All these papers ]lnyo points Of great ex"

Interested In tho mnttcr Of the preservation

Awarding Committee advised its publIca-
ton, paper written BY Dr. o. W. Wight,
OF Milwaukee, and to tho non-teclantcal

Is presented under soyeral distinct Isuads.
First, my law on tho subject must define
the offcnses to bo punished, ard, primarily,
these aro two: First, tho adulturatlon of
articles of food; and, second, the adultern-
tion of drugs, These olfenses arc again
divided Into Two cl,lssos,-the one tho atEut-
tcratIon with dgloterious substances, or sub
stances which, although not dulatertons IN
themselves, yot render the article with which
they arc mixed injurious to health. and tho
other, adultcratlon OF food or drugs with
substances not In themselves Injurious, but
which ara used for tho purposes OF frautl.

Town caucus last Saturday at Elliot's MILL
Mr.. Liddeil arrived last week from Brown
county, and is going to settle on his land on
section 20. Mr. l.. is a thorough going man
and will leave his mark behind him. IL
says crops are fully as far advanced here. rs
they are in tile southern part Of the State.
As Mr.. McAlurry was raising his house last
week, Il heavy piece Of timber fell from near
the top Of the house, and if it had not been
for the activity and powerful strength Of Mr..
Barnell, it would no doubt have broken Mr.
Cowdy's leg, but no serious harm was done.
Mr.. Farwell reports all in good spirits in
the Red Eye settlement.
Mr. Drakely ent up to his farm OH the
Red Eye river 'ast week. He expects his
family soon, when he intends to move out
and commence business.
The supervisors Of this town have dou-

Disease in Cows.

OF late, attention has been directed
to Il disease among cattle Which is
termed tuberculosis, a word which is
not found in Webster, but tubercle
is, and also tuburculous. 1t is now
claimed by the highest Of medical
skill that this disease in COWS can be
impaired to human beings through
the milk. These tubercles are not
confined to the lungs, but probably
it is there where the disease first
commences, and extends to the pleu-
IA. the inner lining of the chest.
From thence it extends to the inner
covering Of the ribs, which is some
times found covered with tubercles,
and sometimes they are found upon
the bones. Co.,. .......... ...
1t is certainly highly improper to
give milk to the human family from
COWS so infected; and if there was !.
possibility of the milk not contain
ing the germs of disease, it would
lack those elements of nutrition found
in the milk Of the healthy cow. The
first substanc to suffer would lie hut
ter. As the disease progressed this
w.uld continue to Diminish, till none
could be found. Cows not sunfre-
quently are liable to lung diseases
and consumption. This appears to.
he the same type as that which af-
fects the human family. It is no ,,n-
common thing to find COW with one
lung entirely destroyed, and not only
in the stable of the common milk

threatened them. Justice Barwise dismissed

We clip the following from an ex-
change, as it may he valuable to some
of our poultry raisers:
Never use cruel means to b1 eak a
hen of setting. After you are con-
WINGED that she has the ''incubation
fever" take her from the nest and
confine her in a nice. dry coop; keep
feed and water before her. After four
or five days. "treatment" she will
not return to the nest. She should
be removed to the roost with the
other fowls every night, otherwise
she may get to setting in the coop.
This / find good way to treat them.
In a few days she will be found iced
ing with the other hens, (instead of
wasting away on the nest or con-
tracing disease in a filthy coop), and
will soon be ready for the next sea-
