OF Europe
That such genial climatic conditions
were due in large measure to a great n
crease in the volume of warm waer
flowing into the North Atlantic seems
just as certain as that the Arctic clim9e
of the glacial period was largely induced
by very considerable decrease or evan
an entire stoppage of that bearing
current. The presence of many Media
ranean shells IN the ancient raisd
beaches of Scandinavia, the occurrene
of mussel banks in the coast-lands Of
Spitzbergen, the appearance here aid
there off the coasts of Scotland, tie
Faroes and Iceland, of Southern specis
of shell-ish, and the presence of isolatd
colonies of Southern mollusks IN tie
Gulf of st. Lawrence, are all indicatre
of O former much greater influx of wan
water into Northern regions than is nov
the case. Those remarkable colonies If

Browns 4, Mistake.

4 Dwight Brown, living near Erie, Pa.
is a poor but very devout man. Mr..
Brown, being in destitute circumstances,
knelt down with his wife, and the two
prayed for help from on high. On the
following day.. as Mr.. Brown was walk
ing along the highway, he found a
a. wallet containing $500 in greenbacks.
Just ahead of him was John Crowell,
whom the prisoner must have known
had dropped it, but Brown, believing
this to be an answer to the earnest sup
plications of himself and wife. took the
money home,- and there was great re-
ioicing in the family, followed by full
meals for his wife and children. The
next day clothing for the half-naked
family was purchased, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown earnestly believed they had found
the royal road to wealth. But a little
later an officer came with warrant and
arrested the head of the household on O
-stet IT, t-l@ The whole case was made
Aw4< --,;sindly offered to de-
sid I.scsfte recited the ignorance
of the prisoner, which was ACCOMPANIED
with devout belief that God had an
swered his prayers in the manner de-
scribed. Some of the money had been
spent as described, but the rest had been
turned over to Crowell, and besides this,
all the household effects of the poor
man had been put into the hands of the
officers to be sold to make up the def
cheney. The Judge, in passing sentence,
said he understood the prisoner to be a
Woodworking man, and that the tempta-
ton had come to him IN a peculiar man
ner. He would err, if at all, on the side
of justice, and SO he sentenced Brown
to pay a fine of one dollar and to be con-
fined in jail one day. The case is
peculiar one, and excited good deal of
interest.

And had she not looked coldly on Regi-

a statement in the form of q card from DIR. j.

able recovery from Brights disease of the

had given him up, by the use OF preparation
manufactured in this city and known War

We are personally or by reputation acquainted

publish no statement not literally true. We are
also personally or by reputation well acquainted
with II. II. Warner Il Co, proprietors of this

Will yon allow the following card, personal

paper?
I There was published in the Rochester Demo
crdt and Chronicle of the 31st OF Dec. last, a
statement made by J. b. Henion, NJ. d., mar
rating hoE he had been cured of Bright's dis
ease Of the Kidneys almost in Its last stages, by
the use of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
/ was referred to in that statement as having
recommended and urged DR.. Henion to try the
remedy, which he did, and was cured.
Now the republishing of his statement IN
MANY of the leading journals of the day has
been the cause of an incessant flow of letters to
me making many inquiries, but chiefly whether
the statement is true, or a mere advertising
dodge, etc etc.
7 beg. therefore to anticipate any further
;nonries and save time and labor, and some
POSTAGE by saying that the statement OF DIR.
Henion is true so far as it concerns myself. and
I believe it to be true in all other respects. He

and would do the same again to any one who

A BLOODY AFFRAY.
One N1an Killed and Two Others
Wounded, One Fatally. in Point
GOupee Parish.

Correspondence of the Times Democrat
OLD RIVER, April 1, 1882.
A desperate shooting atfray took
place here to-day, between George
Hunter Smith and r. H. F. Sewall, IN
killed-John Lindsey, a disinterested
friend of both parties, fatally, and
Sewell badly, wounded. Smith was the
aggressor no words passed between
them. Sewell with Lindsey, was ad-
vancing up the levee, and Smith going
down and when within sixty or seventy
aards, he brought his gun down and
fired both barrels in quick succession.
Lindsey fell, and Sewall, Staggering,
fired missed, and firing a sec
ond shot missed, hit Smith in the
back, under the shoulder blade, as he
was in the act of turning to reload. lie
lived but three quarters of an hour, and
is now lying dead at JAS. Innis'. Lind
sey received seven ck-shot, scatter
ing, but several Of them in the lower
part of the abdomen and the doctors
saw he cannot survive. Sewell received
one buck shot over the navel, which
was cut out of his back, and one in the
right thigh, midway between the hip
and knee. He is very badly, not ia
tally, hurt.
The difficulty grew out of business
matters, an intensely bitter feeling be,
tween the parties existed for several
months, and the tragical termination to-
day was not unlocked for, as both par
ties were armed with breech- leaders,
anticipating u difficulty.
They were all men with families:
Smith leaves a widow and three small
children. The sympathies of the COM
munity are with Sewall, who through
out acted on the defensive.
The body of Bill Granville, the COL
ored man who was drowned a few days
ago, from the steamer Hamilton, was re-
covered yesterday and buried.

The Chicago Times: cit is reported
that movement has commenced in the
South, which should have commenced
years ago, for supplying the Northern
market with early lambs and chickens.
No farm products sell for so high a
price as these articles. They rank
among the most expensive luxuries.
To bring the highest prices, however,
they must be in market very early.
With our present railway facilities it is
comparatively easy to bring lambs and
chickens from the South and to have
them in Northern markets long before
they can be raised here, without great
trouble and expense. There is every
reason for believing that the production
of early chickens and lambs for the
Northern market could be made very
profitable in the South. With suitable
cars they could be sent alive, and, if the
weather is tolerably cool, they could be
sent after they are dressed"

In few hours pitcher of water
will absorb all the respired gases in the
room, the air Of which viii have be-
come much purer, but the water utter
ly filthy. The colder the water is the
greater the capacity to contain these
gases. At ordinary temperature a pail
of water will absorb pint of carbonic
acid gas and several pints of ammonia.
The capacity is nearly doubled by re-
ducing the water to the temperature of
ice. Hence water kept in room
awhile is unfit for use. Impure water
is more injurious than impure air.
