A writer relates a case where a distil-
lery was burned, and a large quantity OF
corn was charred. The hogs belonging
to the owner of the distillery were sick
with cholera, and he fed them with char
red corn and they recovered. He states
that charred corn has been used in an
other instance with good effect. Our
farmers whose hogs are sick with chole-
ra, could try the use of charred corr
without much trouble, and see what eff
feet it will have.

The ladies of the Presbyterian church
at Defiance, gave a "weight social" and
oyster supper. The name of each lady
present was written on a slip of paper
and placed in a basket; when this was
done the gentlemen drew the slips. The
ladies were weighed as their names were
drawn, and the gentlemen paid for the
ladies' supper at the rate of one-half cent
per pound for weight, and received his
supper free.

/ Gambling is carried on in grain in this
country to a fearful extent. Hundreds
of poor fools in almost every city and
village, allow themselves every week to
be heeced out of their hard earnings by
sharpers dealing in "grain margins."-
Even Eaton is not excepted. 1t is said
that hundreds of dollars 60 from here
every moon to be put into the hands of
the Chicago grain gamblers in the "mar-
gin" business, many of them from indi-
viduals who had far better use the mo-
ney in a legitimate business. Once in a
while a "margin Spectator" in grain,
oil or stocks, is permitted to make a few
dollars, but it is only a "bait'' to induce
more Glands" into the pen to be ''shear-
ed" Every man and woman who buys
grain on a "~margin," simply put them
selves into the shearing pen OF the boss
gamblers to be fieeced sooner or later.
All speculative values are inflated or de-
pressed by the ruling gamblers of the
day at their pleasure, and they initiate OF
depress prices just as it may best profit
them. They live only to shear fools and
the fools live only to be sheared. This
margin" gambling has taken the bread
from the mouths and the clothes from
the backs of more children, it has SEN
more men to lunatic asylums, it has
made more defaulters and'caused more
suicides in modern times than all Other
forms of gambling put together. If We
have a friend here engaged in the bust
ness, we advise him to stop, because ruin
sooner or later, will overtake him.
