Der remarked that this action might
cOmplicate affairs a little with the
South. The heavy planters insisted
upon maintaining that institution and
defending it, and asked Mr. Lincoln
how he could get around that fact
Old Abe was ready for them with one


of his stOriOs and said: There is an
old farmer out in Illinois who had


made his arrangements TO raise a large


herd of hogs ne informed his neigh

OF his neighbOrs, and they asked him


how be was going to do IL The old


farmer replied that he should plant


large field of potatoes, and when they


had got their growth would turn the
hogs IN and let them dig and eat, thus
saving the expense of digging the pOta-


toes and feeding them. But, says his


neighbOrs, the frost will come before

look for the issue to be taken. The rain

vented the earlier opening Of hostilities,
uhich, unless signs deceiee us, aredestined TO

lieve our generals are fully prepared for
this threatened movement on the part OF
the enemy, and will be sufficiently able
to defeat its object. A bold effort will
no doubt be made to break through our

fishing themselves, future operations
will be more easily conducted against

Large quantities of butter have been

but the decline in the price Of gold and
the advance in the .easen interferes with
such anticipation. The Albany Arqus
says shrewd buyers predict that the mar

CAUSE AND CURE OF CATARAcr.--At the
last meeting of the Royal Society of Edinv
burgh, Sir Edward Brewster read an impor-
tant communication upon the cause and cure
OF cataract The author having himself, about
forty years since, experienced slight attack
of this dreadful naIady, was led to make q
number of investigations into the structure Of
crystalline lenses of various animals. From
these researches he concluded that the cause
of the disease was simply an insufficient sup
ply of the proper fluid of the lens (liqIor
Morgdgnt), and hence the separation of the
various lamin@ which compose this body. The
cure was effected in eight months by copious
and continued doses of 'scompound saline
powder" Sir David imagined that the sup
ply OF fluid to the crystalline lens might be
derived from the aqueous humor, and that the
cataract might result from the presence Of
too large per centage Of albumen in that se-
cretion. The cure might them be effected,
either by injecting distilled water into the
aqueous humor, or by tapping the aqueous
chamber in the hope that the newly formed
secretion would contain less albumen than the
pre-existing one. The cure Of soft cataract,
on the other hand, might be effected by the
introduction of additional albumen into the
aqueous chamber. Sir David now calls es-
pecial attention to these views, becauce though
originally put forward many years ago. they
have since been fully confirmed by opthalmic
surgeons.

such, call no Primary Meetings, make no party
