Mr.. Catlin replied that he was there with
a cross bill. The assignee's attorney says be
has paid 80 per cent, his pleadings show he
has S275, GOO on hand, exclusive of the divi-
dsnds paid, as the proceeds Of the sale of
property, aud he has also S75 600 worth of
uucouverted property. His complaint show
ing this was fled June %, 1879. The answer
denies that at the time be says he had
$50 600, that lie had it, and shows that June
2, 1879, he conveyed nearly al the assets to
the Peoples Bank, Incorporated May 23d.
which is here as a defendant. His clients
aver that there was collision between Smith
and those forming the Peoples Bank to &C
qaize the assets of the old bank, and TO that
eud have hindered and delayed ths creditors
That Smith conveyed to the Pe4pls's Bank
tue property without any consideration, be-

Some Recent Research in the Proven.
ton Of Diseases Of Cattle.

Among the most destructive diseases
to which cattle are subject is the So
called Siberian plague. the carbuncular
disease or anthrax. From some recent
researches concerning the origin and
transmission of this disease, Pasteur
brings out one fact that cannot fail to
be of value to the breeder and farmer.
Without here considering the nature of
this disease and its treatment, attention
may.b be drawn to the single fact that it
may, be communicated from one animal
that has died to all living animals near
its place of burial through the agency
of the common earth-worm.. 1t would
appear that the parasite or its germs af-
fecting the blood of the animal, and
causing the disease, may survive in the
ground after the diseased animal has
died and is properly buried. The earth
worm passing freely up and down
through the soil may (and apparently
W thout harm to itself take, up the
germs of the disease and deposit them
on the surface, where, when dry, they
may be blown in fine dust upon the
grass or other heritage on which cattle
in the neighborhood may feed. 1t is
thus the disease is transmitted from the
dead to the living through the innocent
and hitherto unsupported agency of the
earth-worm. The remedy suggested by
Pasteur is always to bury animals that
may die of the anthrax in sandy soil,
or, better. whenever practicable to sink
them in the sea.-Scribner's Magazine.

Big Trees.

Referring to big trees, the american
Register tells us that a grove of trees in
California, consisting of 1850, contains
not one which measures less than six
feet in diameter. a rare and magnifi-
cent white oak is to be seen in the Quak-
er burying ground in Salem, N. Y. 1t
is more than 200 years old, and is re-
markable for its long branches, which
have a spread of 112 feet. A remarka-
BILE chestnut tree is growing on a farm
in Berks, Pa. 1t is nearly forty feet in
circumference at the base, and the top of
the tree can be reached by steps fastened
between the limbs. Most remarkable
of trees with history is russet-apple
tree in Skowhegan, Me-, which was
planted in 1862. In its branches a play
room for children has been built for
half century. The tree is Seven feet
from the ground to the branches, five in
number, all of which are very large and
average thirty feet in length, covering a
SPACE of ground sixty-three feet in diam
eter. It is more than four and half feet
in diameter, and has yielded an average
of thirty bushels of apples each year. A
sprout from this apple tree stands thir-
ty-two feet from the parent stem, but is
forty eight years younger
