To produce healing of a wound In a
horse or a COW, some stimulant is near
ly always required. This may be COM
mon spirits of turpentine or the COM
pound tincture of benzoin or that of
myrrh and alOes. Either of these may
be applied with feather once day,
or if the wound is deep, the stimulant
should be injected to the bottom with
a common squirt can or syringe.
Wounds should always heal from the
bottom, and to secure this the opening
should be kept free, by means of plug
of lint dipped In the stimulant used.
Lint may be made by scraping piece
of linen cloth such as a towel, with q
knife aud collecting the loose fibers.
Linen only should be used, and never
cotton or wool for this purpose. Ii

ell and wife were also returning from the

four miles south of Canton, the bobssled

and Mrs. Jewell was thrown on one of
the horses heels. The horses were fright
ened and became unmanageable, and
dashed down the hill overtuking Rev.
Hofstad and instead of turning out they
jumped into his cutter and knocked him
out on the ground senselcss. One
of Mr.. Jewell's reins broke,
but he clung to the other with despera.
tion and finally succeeded in stopping
the team. Rev. Hofstad's horse ran away
but was overtaken and caught before
reaching Canton. John Falde happened
to come along just after the accident and
picked up Mrs. Jewell, who was badly
bruised but not seriously injured. Rev.
Hofstad was conveyed to the Harlan
house where he remains under the care
of DIR. Smith. 1t is feared he has sus-
tained serious internal injuries.

morrow, will publish an interview with
Jno. +. Swift, one of the commissioners
to negotiate treaty with China,
who returned by the steamer

the report regarding treaty
published by tho New York

having been impaired by commissioners
to the Herald correspondent who ac-
companied the commission. Mr.. Swift

public, the treaty contains clause re.
serving to the United States the right to
terminate at any time the residence OF
Chinese laborers in this country. It was
also understood that Chinese cannot
be nnturalized i'll the United States
and that natnraliZations already accom-
plished shall be considered null and
VOID. Negotiations were concluded No.
yember Goth. Everything was ready on
the 18th, but the word disaster occurred
in the treaty, and it is the law Of China
that that word can not be presented to
the attention of the emperor within five
days of celtain important events, among
which is the birthday of a member of the
royal family, which necessitated asdelay
OF two weeks before the conclusion Of
the treaty. The commissioners were
80 much disheartened that they we're on
the point of giving up negotiations
and would have left Pekin but for the
fact that connections were interrupted
by the severity of the weather, and pend

made the concessions desired. Mr.. Swift
