A Remark able Case of Cattle Poisoning.

On Tuesday of last week Mr. Amos II. Bailey
turned about half a dozen of his cattle upon
small piece OF swamp grass, about two perches
in area, lying between field of wheat and
field just plowed, below his spring. A boy was
stationed to guard them. Three of the cattle
gTaZed freely for about five or ten minutes,
while the rest ate more sparinglv. They moved
on to the plowed land, about Ii yards distant,
and laid down. Those most seriously affected
began TO low In about 20 or p minutes some
of them were seized with spasms and died in
great agony-one in about 40 minutes and an
other u few minutes afterwards. The Others
were living the next morning but were evil
IDENTIFY suffering greatly. One of the cattle that
died was a fine heiter and the other a valuable
COW, giving two gallons of milk day.
II was supposed that death might have been
caused by eating the poisonous hcllcbore. but
upon a careful examination of the field,
none of this poisonous vegetable could be
found. A species of swamp grass was found,
however, in lunches, and among it weed,
from two 10 four inches in height, csembing
"touch-me-not." This weed grew thickes
where the dead cattle had graZed. The speedy
death of the heifer and COW and the condition of
the other cattle, show concluSively that the
weed, whatever il may be, is one of the most
deadly poisons to cattle that grows. | hope
some competent bOtanist will make a careful
study Of the poisonous weed, and so describe 1t
that the farmer may be enabled to recognize il
at all stages of its growth, in order that II may
he thoroughly eXtrpated from our pasture
fields.
Mr Bailey has had Il series of mishaps. His
frat misfortune was to lose an affectonate wife,
in HE early manhood. Shortly afterwards his
dwelling and the most of its contents, were de.
stroyed by fire, and he was uninsured. Again,
he lost lot of sheep, from eating poisonous
laurel, aud more recently II valuable colt. MIR.
Bailey has the sympathy of the public in his
misfortunes. W. $. B.

Blaine and Belmont,

In his examination before the congressional
committee investigating the Chilli Peru scan
dal, eH-Secretary Blaine not only lost his TEN
per but strengthened the belief that while in
the State department he nearly dragged this
country into war with Chill to further his
personal ambition Mr. Blaine repeatedly
charged Mr.. Belmont Of the committee, with
having misquoted his words. In answering
the accusation Mr.. Belmont said that he had
had consideration for the man who has held
the high position Of Secretary of State, but
that Blaine's course had put him on level
with any other witness and he intended to
examine him in just that spirit. The ex-Sec-
rotary became very indignant at this.
This thing is intolerable," he exclaimed.
1T is intolcrabc, The inselence of this
Young man is intoerable."
And then, in answer to Mr. Belmonts
suggestion that he had brought it upon him
self, the..eX-Speaker, eX Senator, and ex-Secre.
tary of State calculated:
This mere boy l have no more regard for
his insolence than would have for that of
garbage boy on the street-not particle
The scene ended by bitter speech from
Mr.. Belmont, in which he denounced Blaine
ns "a bully and coward"
Mr.. Belmont is the son of August Belmont,
the New York banker. He is young man,
with no experience in parliamentary pugil
ism, and of course no match for Blaine in
the use of epithets or sarcasm. He is
thoroughly honest and evidently thought his
duty, as member of the committee, was to
get at all the facts, and not merely to afford
Mr.. Blaine IN opportunity to exhibit himself
before the country
The New York Times, among other Re.
publican journals, condemns Mr.. Blaine's
course during his testimony, and says:
awhile protesting a willingness to answer
every question and scorniug any interposition
Of the chairman to protect him as Witness he
berated his examiner as no gentleman, sneered
ut his youth and lnexperience, accused him Of
distorting lacts and msquotng documents that
are open to general perusal aud finally got into

sensations to the helpless Government of Peru

WHEAT AND CoRN.-From present appear
ance of the wheat crop all over the country
it is not believed that prices for this cereal
will be extremely high, Corn, however, is
likely to command a high price. In our
own county, especially, the diversion of so
much land from the culture of field corn to
that of sugar corn and tomatoes, must neces-
sarily make short supply for home con-
sumption and high prices may be expected.
OF the prospective price of the corn crop, the
New York Financial Chronicle says:
We are yet long way from new crop of
corn. To large extent it has not yet been
planted. Under the most favorable circum.
stances the new crop cannot come upon the
great markets before December next, though
it may become available to the immediate
uses of growers early in the autumn, The
agricultural bureau estimates that quite re-
Gently there was only SO per cent. as much
corn in the hands of growers as at the cor
responding date of 1881. The drought last
year was peculiarly disastrous to corn The
visible supply is about SO per cent. of last
year. There is scarcity of roots which
| might be substituted for it for feeding pur.
poses, and oats are equally dear. We are
pretty certain to have n forcible reminder of
of how valuable a crop Indian corn is to our
people.
