MARIANA, FLA, Jan. 16.-Rain has
fallen here and the weather is cooler. The
warm spell caused a serious loss to farmers.
as they had to keep their hogs in the pen
and feed them until it got cold enough to
slaugh er them. A great many farmers
will have to buy corn this year, because Of
having to feed their hogs so long.
Considerable fear is expressed about the

deal of damage. Farmers are well up with
their work, and an inc tease of acreage both
of cotton and corn will be cultivated this
year.

1t may be known to only few peo-
pie that direct descendants of Pom
titus PLATE, the Roman Governor, are
living in this country. The ancient
archives of Vienna, Austria and
Pesth, Hungary, show that a grand
son of Pontius Plate, Caius Flavius
PLATE, was made proctor of the
Roman province Decia, on the lower
Danube. Later on We find a dcscen-

forty years ago two members of the

"IIerc tho rumination is a most

vorous animals are obliged to par.
take of great quantities of food, as
tho nourishing value of tho grasses
is relatively a small ono. On the
pasture they must mako use OF
their time for gathering and swal-
lowing the grass. Afterward, when
they have moro time and leisure,
thoy reduce tho food to smaller par

The above is extracted from
paper read before the German Medi
cal Society of New York by Man
Einhorn, M. D. The learned docto,
described a number of cases O

under his knowledge, and he quotes

but incompatible. TO DO successful
