George Taylor, while painting the spire of the new Episcopal church at Williman- tic, fell distance of some thirty feet to the ground. He was perched on 8 ladder which stood astride the ridge pole of the church and leaned against the spire, when suddenly it spread out from the rungs and he was precipitated to the roof, from which he slid in a helpless manner, striking the ground near to pile of rocks. Had his landing place been short distance either way the accident must have ended fatally. A sprained wrist and an ugly cut on his face were the only injuries sustained.

Recipe for Saner.Krant.

As the season has come when almost
every family-and we may say with
considerable certainty every farmer s
family-puts up for the winter tub of
sauer-kraut, we offer again our recipe
for preparing this excellent and whole
some dish. We regard our way the best
so far as our knowledge goes, and no one
we arel sure will be disappointed who
adopts il. 1t is this: "In the first place
let your stand, holding from half bar
rel to barrel, be thoroughly scalded
out; the cutter, the tub, and the stamp
e. also well scalded. Take off all the
cutter leaves of the cabbages. halve
them and remove the heart, then pro-
ceed with the cutting. Lay some clean
leaves at the bottom of the stand, sprin-
kle with a handful of salt, fill in half
bushel of cut cabbage, stamp gently
until the juice just makes it appearance,
then add another handful of salt and so
on until the stand is full. Cover over
with cabbage leaves, place on top clean
board fitting the space pretty well, and
on the top of that q stone weighing
twelve or fifteen pounds. Stand away
in cool place, and when hard freezing
comes on move to the cellar. 1t will be
ready for use in from four to six weeks.
The cabbage should be cut tole-ably
coarse. The Savoy variety makes the
best article, bnt it is only half as pro-
ductive as the Drumhead and Flat
Dutch" We will Just add that there
is no dish more wholesome than we'll
made sauer-kraut: but it should always
be boiled, and well boiled, with a piece
of picked pork or corned beef.-Ger.

Ailments Of Swine Due to Mismanage'
ment.

Indigestion sometimes occurs among
swine who are not supplied with food at
regular Intervals, and occasionally re-
ceiye large and unlimited quantities OF
1t, and in consequence pass suddenly
from starvation to a surfeit, and this
evil greatly retards their growth or fat-
tening, or seriously damages their
health, or even undermines their con-
stitution. 1t must be rectified by sup
plying them with proper allowances OF
food at stated periods of the day and
never in such quantity at time as to
provoke them to gluttony.
Costiveness, accompanied by disin-
clination for food, sometimes results
from great and sudden changes of
weather, and from feeding necessarily
on dry and comparatively indigestible
food, and this may be corrected by Civ
ing them any green food or succulent
vegetable substance which may happen
at the time to be most accessible or
plentiful, such as cabbage, lettuce, po-
tato-tops, or mixture OF sliced pota-
toes and mangel-wurzel.
The opposite evil of diarreha, also,
Is sometimes induced; and this may be
corrected by giving the animal free &C
cess to cinders, soft coal, brlck-dust
and chalk rubbish.
Eruptions of the skin, occasionally
becoming aggravated into pustules and
scabs, sometimes also break out in the
ears; and these may be occasioned
either by want of proper ventilation,
by want of general cleanliness in the
stye or house, by paucity of food, by too
stimulating diet, by the combined
effects of confinement. bad air, and in
judicious feeding. A ready or effective
cure in the early stages or milder form
of this malady, is to give the animals
dry and clean quarters, and access to
cinder or charcoal; and a suitable and
even requisite remedy in bad cases, par
ticularly when the eruptions have be.
come liberated and scabby. is to mix
small doses of sulphur and saltpeteI
with the food, and to rub externally
with a mixture of tar and oil, or with .
composition of suet, tar and = little
sulphur. Farmer.

The Liability of Bank Directors.

his trial that his depredations had ex-
tended over three or four years. A
Belgian Senator sat on the board Of
directors, and he had been deputed
many times to audit T'Kindt's accounts.
but he had found it simpler to trust to
that gentleman, and the result was that
he got sentenced to years imprison-
ment for his good nature Depositors
and borrowers do not commit their Sc
curities to clerk or cashier whose
name is unknown to them, but to
directors whose names have figured on
prospectuses, and who seem to offer
guarantees for good management. This
Is point which directors too frequently
overlook. Graphic.
