Father and Dauwhter Drowned,

At Fort Smith, Ark, Mr.. Isllam Carter
and his daughter, Miss Cecilia Carter, q
lovely and accomplished young lady, were
crossing to the opposite side of the Poleau
river in skiff Recent rains had swollen
the river to unusual dimensions, and.
when midway in the stream, they were
caught in a strong current. The little
boat was whirled around like top and
finally upset, throwing the occupants into
the stream. The father made frantic
effort to save his child, his desperate
struggles overcoming the violence of the
waves for time but they were soon
separated, drifting apart and down the
stream. The pitiful cries OF the young
lady were heard on either shore, mingled
with the supplications of her father, but
before assistance could reach them they
had pcrislled.

1?-1l-1S,
An Astronomer Tackles the Puz.,e,

Those of our readers. if there be any,
who have survived 4 serious attack Of the
"Fiftccn Puzzle fever will doubtless
take 4 languid interest in the following
communication OH the subject which ap-
pears in the London Truth of January 81 :
Mr.. Richard A. Proctor has devoted his
energies to the solution Of the "fiitecn :"
or "boss" puzzle and has published some
three or four learned articles OH the subject.
He has calculated that there are no fewer
than 90, 9222. 7S9, 89S positions in which the
puzzle may be placed il an aspirant desires
to attempt its solution. Of these he has
satisfied himself that onc-half are soluble
and the remaining half insoluble. The
solubility of the problem depends upon i
strange law of relation between
the line in which the vacant square
occurs and the number of what Mr.. Proc
tor terms displacements.' II, for in
stance. we read tho box in the ordinary
way, beginning with the upper horizontal
line from left to right, and find it to begin
with 5, there arc then four displacemcnts,
because ) comes before I, 2, Sand 4, where
as it ought to follow them. II the next fig
ure be 3 there are then two more
displaccments, because ) comes before l
and 2, whereas it ought to follow
them. Now, according to Mr.. Proctor,
if the number of displacements arc even
and the vacant block is in one Of the even
horizontal lines, reading from left to right
that is to say, in the second line from the
top or in the bottom linc-tllen the prob
lem is soluble. The same is the case ii
the number of displacements are uneven
and the vacant block bc in an uneven line.
But where the displacements are even
block even, or vice versa. the prob
lem is insOluble. l do not profess
to entirely follow Mr.. Proctor's reasoning,
any more than to be able to cont the stars
in the nebula of Orion. But I have fol-
lowed his rule, and 1 have never found it
fail.
Mr.. Labouchere publishes this with the
observation that for his own part lie finds
it rather tougher than the puzzle.

The Teats Of 10 Cow Frozen.
West Chester LOca, News.


George p. Matlack, of East Brandywine,
tells us that Il very singular thing Oc-
Cured with one OF his cows Il short time
ago. She was kept in warm stable, and
notwithstanding which during the recent
cold weather all four Of her teats wero
badly frozen and three OF them dropped
entirely Oil close to the udder. Since
tiicn she has had calf, which he tells US
manages to get along admirably. 1t some
times uses the remaining dug and other
times attacks the openings where the tcats
have been, and, as the COW has no way Of
rctainin. it, the milk flows cOpiOusly, and
which the calf takes in with avidity. The
freezing of u cows teats is something
never before known to any farmer within
Mr.. Matlack's acquaintance, and which he
thinks was probably caused by a liniment
of spirits of hartshOrn and oil, which was
applied to the cows u,ltler to remove q
cake which l,:,d made its appearance. Tho
hartsh"rn he thinks extinguishcd the heat
from the teats, causing them to freeze rs

Mr.. Finn, of Pittsburgh, has intro
duced bill into the Legislature for the
relief of the estate Of Robert W. Mackey.
which sets forth that the deceased dur.
ing his official career paid 100000 from
his own funds, which had been deposited
with banks and bankers who became
bankrupt while holding the state de-
pOsits; that his estate is now almost in
solvent. there being no:hng for the
heirs but some heavily encumbered real
estate; that Mr.. MacEey left dependent
sisters and nrices, and that the balance
Of $i,6I3 IS still remains due from his
estate tC the commonwealth, being
losses TO it from the failure Of banks in
which he had deposited state funds.
Mr.. Finn proposition is speciOus one
but its whereases do not justify its re-
solves. Itis true Mr.. Mackey had to make
u2, out of his private funds, heavy losses
occurring to the state treasury by the
failure of some banking houses which
had its moneys. But in all such cases
the state money had been deposited in
these rotten concerns. rather than in safe
institutions, because they promised and
afforded unlawful gains to Mackey and
the treasury ring. He took the chances
of profit and neither lie nor his estate
