Horse.

Col. James L. Fleming, prominent grocery
merchant, member of the firm of Messrs.
Fleming & LOnin, Augusta, Ga, makes the
following statement Of tho treatment of a
valuable horse with swlft's Specific: '-
In the fall Of 1883 had valuable colt taken
with a severe case of Pinkeye. which resulted
in the most fearful case of blood poison have
ever seen. After eight or nine months of doc
loring with every remedy that l could hear Of
despaired of a cure. AT this time the horse
was unable to move, because of swollen limbs.
Ills right hind leg was as large as a mans
body. and had on it over forty running sores.
lie had also a number of large sores on his
body and other limbs. He was most pitia-
bic looking object, and / was advised to end
his sufferings with shotgun. lie was

EKOFs BAIRD FISH COMMISSIONING.
The association contains among its men,
bers some of the most distinguished men
of the country, statesmen and scientists.
Hon. Theodore Lyman, member of Con-
gress from Massachusetts, who is an emf
nent naturalist and student Of political
econ my, is the President OF the assOcia-
ton, and has been one Of its most active
members for MANY years. He has re-
manned here since the close of the session
OF Congress, enjoying the delights of
spring-time in Washington and waiting
for the annual meeting of this society.
Nearly all of the members of the fish COM
mission are also members Of this society,
and the two associations work in entire
accord and prove mutually advantageous
ana of great benefit to the country. Prof.
Baird, the head of the Fish Commission:
Prof. Mcdonald. and indeed all those
taking part in the work here. have watched
the proceedings with great interest.
1.-The tact is" said Prof. Mcdonald
talking to your correspondent as he
sat in his cosy library at his home, "we
are just approaching the time when we
are to see soon some Of the fruits of the
work that We have been dong. This sub
iect Of fish culture was practically new
when we began it, so far as its practical
application to national systems was con-
cerned. 1t is something over a decade
much Of the earlier work was in the way
of experiment, and some of our time and
money and labor was entirely lost i'm maxi
ing these experiments; not lost as to final
results nut II did not bring immediate re-
turns. For instance, when we began our
study Of the Matching OF fish by artificial
n etn0ds. II COS 5000 TO produce 1,000O0
YOUNG white fish; now we produce them
for $50, and this is only an instance of
what the study OF the su ject by our COM
mission with the aid OF this association
and the State commissions has accom-
plished."
''Do most Of the States have fish CON-
missions, also. then?"
"Oh, yes. The people throughout the
country are beginning to realize tine i'm
portance Of this subj ct, and see how
valuable food supply was being lost
heretofore, and are taking an interest in
the matter. Yes, most of the States have
their fish commissions now, and are Civ
ing more or less attention To The protec-
ton and cultivation Of FISH,"
"And are you seeing any practical re-
suits yetY"
sob, yes. The production Of streams
where the work has been carried on has
been doubled, and the Il 'hermen of the
great lakes say that but Tor the work OF
our system Oue-halt Of them would have
been obliged 10 seek other employment.
OF course the mere fact OF furnishing en-
ployment 10 a large number Of people is
something, but the greater feature is that
while doing so we have so greatly in
creased the natural food supply Of the
country"

A PERFECT CURE
sH
Of
PINK ~ {: p! !

About the first of April, 1885. four or five
horses in our stable were taken with that
dreaded di, ease, Pinkeye. We did every thing
that we could to relieve them, using all the
remedies laid down in the horse books, but
without any appreciabe benefit. The suffer
gs of the poor animals were terrible, as they
wasted away under this disease. At last one
Of the best Of them died. Having read
statement from Col. james l.. Fleming, Of
Augusta, about the'cure of valuable horse of
PInkeye with Swift's Specific we determined
to give it trial and secured supply. We
followed Col. Fleming's direction and gave
ach animal four ounces of S. S. S. with equal
quantity OF water three times a day. Some Of
the cases were more obstinate than others
but all yielded in time TO the influence of the
medicine. The first symptoms of improve
ment were a disposition to move about and
gradual increase of appetite. We are happy
osay that Swift's Specific has made aperfect
cure of the remaining four horses, and they
are in splendid condition to-day. From our
experience, we believe Swift's Specific is one
Of the best toncs for the animal as well as for
the human race. Ii inv gorateo the system
and improves the appetite of the horse as well
as of the man, and will no doubt make the
horse shed of more readily his winter coat Of
hair. We most cordially I, commend 1t.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
Charles B. Varney ct ais VS.. Albert R. Conery
Rescriat by V5rqig, J-If a debtor gives and
the creditor receives, in full satisfaction of the
debt, a note endorsed by third person for less
sum than the amount Of the debt, it is good ac-
cord and satisfaction to bar subsequent suit by
the creditor to recover the balance of the debt
Motion overruled.
Henry G. Thayer VS.. Dennison Paper Company
Rescript By TValton, 1.-THE defendant moves
for new trial. 1t is the opinion Of the Court that
the motion can not be granted The action is to
recover for between five and six hundred cords of
wood sold and delivered by the plaintiff to the
defendant at an agreed price Of 1925 a cord. Ii
was insisted in defence that the wood was not of
so good quality as the contract called for. The
evidence was conflicting and the verdict was for a
sum about sixty dollars less than the contract
and made such deduction as they thought right.
The court is not satisfied that the jury erred.
Certainly the verdict is not so clearly wrong as to
entitle the defendant to have it set aside and
new trial granted.
Motion oyerruled, Judgment on the verdict.

LongfeIIow chautauqua circle.

At the regular meeting of the Longfellow Chau-
tauqua Circle, Monday evening, lively discuss
ion took place over the question "Are Labor I'm
ions a practical benefit to the working classes ?'
Capital and labor were well represented, and
though the advocates Of the Unions presented
their side with vigor and held their ground man
fully, yet the friends of the capitalists were not
disheartened. Later in the evening another ques-
tion came before the circle touching upon emigra-
tion to this country, and from the manner in
which 1t was treated by the ladies' it was evident
they were not behind the gentleman in their
knowledge of important national topics In the
essay by Mr.. Warren Cole on Caesar as compar-
ed with Alexander the subject was handled il Q
manner that showed thought and careful prepara-
tion, and though Mr.. Coles preference was well
known to be for Caesar, the comparison between
the two great generals was SO just and impartial
that it brought forth the hearty applause of the
dience The statistics given by MIR. Geo. II. Lord,
showing that Irelands wars are largely due TO in
temperance proved highly interesting and com
bned to make this meeting one of the brightest
and most enjoyable thus far.

of the company:
"a better pleased audience has seldom assem-
bled in the Academy than that witnessing 1.-The
Mkado," admirably rendered by Wilbur's excel
lent company last evening. We felt assured that
Mr.. Wilbur would not present the opera with an
inferior troupe, and we are not disappointed. The
work is pleasing, Astounding in Gilbert's wit and
Snlvan's harmonies, well appreciated and very
fairly rendered by the company. While all the
performers were good the best was Miss Ferris,
whose rendition of Ratisha, a trying part, was
wonderful, when it is known that she was indis-
posed and was compelled to thus omitlthe leading
solo. Miss Louise Kissing made capital Yum
Yum, acting with exceeding grace and singing
well. As Nanld Poo Mr. Comfy, in person and
voice, was success, and Ed. Chapman IN ko-ko
the Mikado and Joe Brand as Poo Bah did good
work. The chorus was effective, and elected
much applause"
