my satisfaction (and / must say to my

was entirely well OF the lameness caused
by hog SPAWN of over one years stand
ing, and in three weeks time the swell
ing was all gone and the mare is now en-
tireiy well and can trot as glib as eKer.
l consider the bottle of kendall's SPAWN
Cure worth 10 me $3.50 90, rs the animal
was worthless as she WAS on three legs
and could scarcely get around on them,
and now she is the finest buggy animal
in these parts; and with the remnant of
the bottle. after curing the mare, have
nearly cured a very severe corn on the
bali of my big toe that has given me
great pain for two or three years. / have

INDIANA WALNUT IN 1884.

In the course of a recent conversation
concerning Indiana timber in general and
walnut in particular, with one of our pio.
neer settlers who came to this country in
1884, says the american Wood ,corker, the
old gentleman remarked s.The walnut
timber used to be great deal of bother
to US in those days. In clearing our lands
we usually felled thetrees, then rolled them
into log-heaps and burned them. Walnut
was the meanest wood of all, as it was al
most impossible to burn it. / knew
neighbor to spend the best part of some
three weeks trying to reduce an immense
walnut tree to ashes. Some years later
there was a saw-mill erected few miles
away, and the owner bought great deal
of timber, some of which he sawed up, but
most of it he shipped in the log to Cincin.
natl. l had sold him considerable timber,
when one day he came to me and asked
what / would take for large walnut tree
that had fallen in a swamp a year or
two before. / told him he might have
it for nothing if he would take it out of
the way. He told me afterwards that
he had made quite little sum out of it !;
but had that tree now could sell it for
S400. Many and many 8 fine walnut tree
did we cut for coon. We had no partieu-
lar use for walnut then. Il was in the
way, and we took the quickest and best
methods Of getting rid of it. Sometimes
we made rails of it, but it was FREQUENTLY
80 curled and twisted that it was impossi-
BILE to split it. We would probably have
ridiculed the idea then that these curled
and twisted logs might some day have
made US wealthy, or that big walnut
knot would ever have any value. !"

MINING NOTES.

Recent assays from ore in the Eureka
tunnel demonstrates that it is becoming
much richer in gold than formerly.
A new quartz ledge has been discovered
about six miles above Mehama, on the San
tism river, Western Oregon, which pros
poets well.
At Fine Gold Gulch, three miles south.
east of Fine Gold, Fresno, the narrow vein
of decomposed quartz is said to be turning
out finely. The miners are now down sixty
feet in the shaft and are taking out some
quartz that assays 5000 to the ton.
The Eureka Leader of December 29sh
says: Yesterday chloride ore assaying
STA rs silver, $4 Is gold and 42 per cent.
in lead, and galena assaying 1925 50 silver,
So l6 gold and 73 per cent. lead, was
struck in an upraise in the Prospect Noun
tain tunnel.
A gentleman has discovered nice tin
mine within a few miles of town. He
brought in specimens of ore yesterday
which astonished the natives. The name
of the lucky individual and the location of
the mine cannot be given until he has re-
corded his title. e.-[SAn Diego Sun.
The Tidings says The mine owned by
Nichols & Russell, and which is situated at
Nichols ranch, about two miles southwest
from Grass Valleys center, is still yielding
well. The mine isof the pocket kind. a
day or two ago new pocket was struck
and from it gold TO the value of S607 was
taken. Altogether the little mine has
turned out about So 600.

REASONING ANIMALS. We confess that
the two points which have always struck
our mind ss distinguishing the nature of
brutes from that Of men, has been their
inability to worship God. and to kindle
fire. 1t would be folly to deny that
brutes could reason. A sheep-dog who
wants to head flock in a narrow lane will
jump over wall and run along the other
side until he has reached the exact point
occupied by the sheep at the head OF the
flock, and then jump back, in order to
drive them home. "a colly, who was
fond of going out with carriage, would
go and hide himself as Eoon as he heard
the order for the carriage given, SO that he
mightnot be tied up. If We analyzethese and
manyother instances of ssgscity. we can not
help admitting that brute's mind is eap1.
