BELFAST, June 1.-An Associated
Press reporter who was detailed 10 re-
main on the scene of the riots at 5 o.
clock this morning reported rs follows
Il remained among the rioters all night.
The greatest damage in the way OF
wrecking and shooting was done along
the Shank Hill and York roads. The
fighting on both thoroughfares was des-
perate and continuous. TIE mob WAS
composed of the lowest rnllians. The
bayonets of the police had no terrors
for them, and in many cases | saw the
mob in overwhelming numbers press Np
against the bayonets of the police and
drive them back. The only instances
in which the police drove the mob ut
all, so far as observed, were those in
which the officers, in compact lines, fir
ed in close range rapid volleys of buck
shot. These the rioters could not
stand against, and they were driven
back. But even under such galliug
fire the rioters would drop to the pave
ments and rush upon the police while
they were leloading.
1T is impossible to describe the state
of terror under which the respectable
Catholic people of Belfast are now liv-
ing in consequence of the prevalent an
archy of bigotry. The bravest of them
hardly dare to venture out of doors in
daylight even. know that scores of

Serious charges have been made by

against the management of that insti-
tuition, and Governor Pattison has or
dered an investigation Of the charges

action, declares that DR.. BiddIe, the
resident surgeon, has neglected lis du-
ty, only dressing the wounds of pa
tients twice week and devoting most
of his time to outside practice.
The statement procecGs to say that
patients remained in bed for days and
weeks without having broken limbs set.
That a patient was brought in and lay
five hours on the operating table before
the doctors could be found, and the
warden applied the tourniquet to stop
the bleeding. The man had suffered
great agony from compression caused
by the tourniquet remaining on so long,
and the warden was compelled 10 ad-
minister morphia to ease the pain.
In conclusion, Mr.. Jackson says that
he can prove that the hospital is man.

ClOyer-Sick Land.
From the Farmers Magazine.

From the Farmers Magazine.
Sir John Loves ascribes what is called
''clover-sickness" to the plant not having ac-
cumulated a sufficient store of food in its roots
during the first year of its growth. This, he ex-
plains, may happen from a variety of causes
such as the roots of previous crops taking
some years to decay, and the want of sufficient
alkaline salts in the sub-soil. He lays particu-
lar stress on the fact that all our agricultural
operations tend to accumulate the food of plants
close to the surface of the soil, while it is only
such soluble salts as chlorides and nitrates of
soda and lime which pass quickly into the sub
soil and are carried away into the drainage
water. He also points out the fact that deep
roofing plant like clover, feeding on lime, has
little chance against a creeping rooted plant
like cough grass, which feeds on silica, far
more abundant product in most soils. 1t is to
be remembered, however, that there are many
forms of "clover-sckness," and probably as
many different causes. One form of it is due to
a fongus, and "clover fongus" is more common
than>is generally supposed. Some German OBJ
servers hold that clover-sickness is due to par
asites in the soil, but they have adduced no
positive evidence of this. As, however, sheet
sickness" has, in certain instances, been traced
to parasites in the soil, it is quite within the
range of possibility that the failue of clover
may sometimes result from similar cause.

Corn and Pork.

From the Farm, Field and Stockman.
Pork and corn seem to be inseparable articles
But unless the corn is properly fed, the pork
will be expensive. Corn and pork only 60 to-
gether when it is desirable to fatten the hogs.
If corn is used in any other manner, or for a
different purpose, the pork becomes very ex-
pensive product. We 60 not advocate feeding
corn in the summer to any class of stock, and
experience shows that while it is invaluable to
the pork raiser, and the most convenient arti-
Gle he can use, pork can be produced more
manner. Many farmers, though old, do not know
that clover hay can be fed with advantage to
hogs, and yet such is the fact. We have long
separated the hog from all other classes of
stock and denied him the privileges of being
fed on grass, cut-hay, ground oats and other
food that is more acceptable to him during his
growing period than corn, and the consequence
is that he fails on the long-continusd diet of
earn, and becomes susceptible to diseases that
were before unknown. To keep the steer suited
with dry corn, which is a concentrated food,
and deprive it of bulky provender of pure water,
would cause it to succumb in a short time, yet
this is just the treatment the hog is compelled
to undergo, simply because ''cOrn is king" and
is supposed to be cheap, when the fact is that
when fed under such circumstances it is very
costly. What the hog requires is variety, in
cluding bulky food, and will then perform an
important service.

The torn check S Yindle is being work
ed in some parts of The East, greatly to
the sorrow of the victims of the scheme.
According to the Poughkeepsie News,
this is the way the thing is done: "a
check, say for $40, is obtained from a
depositor at a bank, and a blank check
exactly like the filled-in check is secured.
The two checks are laid one upon the
other, so that the edges are exactly even.
Both-checks are then torn irregularly
across, and in sach way that the sig
one piece and the amount and name of
the payee on the other. The checks
having been held together while being
torn, one piece of the blank check will
exactly fit the other piece of the filled
check. The swindler then fills in one
piece of the blank check with the name
of the payee and the amount to suit
himself, say $4,000, takes it with the
piece of genuine check containing the
signature of the bank. and explains that
the check was accidentally torn. The
teller can put the pieces together, and
rs they lit exactly the chances are that
he will think that the pieces are parts
of the same check and become victim
of the swindle." The trick, of course
suggests its own remedy. The teller
should refuse to pay any check that is
mutiated.

BEING at his wits end to keep the
'coons from destroying a field of early
corn, a farmer living near Msttoon, H.,
went to the nearest drug store and
bought quantity of strychnine. Going
home he pulled about two bushels of
ears, stripped a part of the shuck, put
the poison inside, closed it up and dis =
tributed the bait literally along the
paths the 'coons had made at certain
places where they entered the field.
Next morning be went out and stun
bled over coon before he had scarcely
entered the field. The animal seemed to
be enjoying sweet sleep, and could not
be aroused. He dispatched it with a
club, and proceeded only to find many
others in possum-like condition. He
killed all with club, and now his prem
ises about his stable and granary decora-
ted with dozens of coon skins hanging
up to dry. He went to the drug clerk
with portion of the drug for examina-
tion, when that careful and registered
public servant discovered he had put up
morphine by mistake for strychnine, and
this was what made the 'coons sleepy.

Chronic DYsenterY.

Mr.. lanes Brannan, Second avenue,
Pittsburgh, Pa, writes " For two years
l have been constantly troubled with a
chronic diarrhea, or dysentery, having
had, on an average, from twenty to
twenty-five passages every twenty-tour
hours, and every one bloody. l had
thoroughly tried all the prominent ply
sicians in Pittsburgh, was twice in the
West Penn Hospital, the first time thir-
teen weeks, and though l left it much
better, vet in FIVE days ! was as bad as
ever. / then tried two other great doc
tors in this city, and one of them finally
assured me l was not long for this world.
and advised me to write to my friends
about it. l next went to DR.. Hartman,
without the least confidence that he could
do anything for me. He examined me,
smiled, and said, he could stop the bloody
discharges in less than two weeks, which
he did with PERUNA, and l have now
been entirely well for several weeks, and
never felt better in my lif though am
still taking his PERUNA. l will take it
whenever need medicine.
Mr.. Patrick Burns, Pittsburgh, writes
al have suffered intensely from piles and
chronic diarrhna. l was treated by five
of the best physicians and surgeons in
the city of Pittsburgh, and with all grew
constantly worse. Finally three of them
said my only hope was an operation.
This frightened me, and went immedi-
ately to DR.. Hartman, who has entirely
cured me with PERUNA. l have been at
work now for three months, and never in
my life felt better. Call and see me at

matter from the parts, and sometimes
from the contents of the bowels through
it. l could not have borne it much
longer. had heard so much of the i'll
effects of knife operation that resolved
to go to DIR. Hartman. He ridiculed the
silly idea of cutting it, and at once per-
formed his own original operation with
out the knife, and without pain. l am
thoroughly cured, though of course took
PERUNA."
