poor man seemed about to suffer. Alter the prayer

A HAUNTED HoUsE-A Richmond,

of Main and 5th streets, is haunted.
Dr.. Hoge, it is stated, has the ut

vanishes noiselessly. 1t is said by

drawn sigh is heard, which proceeds
from the back parlor in the house.


Such is the strange tale which the
affrighted servants tell. It is
strange that servants come there
from a distance who have never

and upon the first night see the
Same figure. They all tell the same
story. The figure cannot be traced
to any authentic source, but many
have heard the deep drawn sigh
which proceeds from the parlor.
Upon going into the parlor nothing
is seen or heard, but Immediately
upon going out in the passage the
sigh is heard again. It is only
heard about the hour of twelve
o'clock at night. It is attributed
to some strange, acoustic property
of the room.

had been found on King street.


Mr.. Palmer is noted for the celerity
of his action, but on this occasion he
even surpassed himself, and very few
minutes elapsed ere his fiery steed
drew up before the Coroner's door. The
Coroner hastily jumped into the car
riage and away sped the pair. In
the meantime the news had spread and
quite crowd had assembled in the Vi
cinity Of the mysterious package anx-
iously awaiting developments. Just as
the carriage containing the Coroner
and his aid-de-camp turned the corner
several prominent citizens might have
been seen darting behind convenient
stone piles to avoid being summoned on
the jury.


The carriage dashed up to the spot,
out sprang the officials, it was but the
work of a second for Mr.. Palmer to op-
en- his pen knife and jump into the
hole. Others might have hesitated
but not he. Here was the dead body
of an infant hid away-perhaps muir

must be unraveled, the strings around
the bundle were cut, the wrap
ping removed and out rolled what !?
why the body of an antiquated Thomas
cat. Deputy Palmer slowly crawled
out of the hole, and followed
the Coroner who had already entered
the carriage, and to add to their con-
fusion, just at this juncture, there
came from open window opposite, the
voice of Pinafore-struek young lady,
sweetly warbling.

In the month of January last We pub
lishsd card from DR.. Edward Singley,
residing at Kelton, Chester co., Pa, in
which the Doctor spoke at length OF
Lobelia as a preventive and cure for
hydrophobia. During the past summer
the remedy has several times been tried
according to the directions laid down
by DR.. Singley, AID each time we
believe the best results have followed.
We give below synopsis of the card
alluded to as we wish our. numerous
readers to have the benefit Of whatever
virtue there is in IL:


The chief remedy for this dreaded
malady is Lobelia Infata, which stands
unrivalled in power and safety as an
anti-spasmodic and counter. poison.
The saturated tincture {that is, as
strong as can be made) of the powdered
leaves and pods, or an infusion made
by pouring half a pint of quite hot
water on about an ounce of the powder
steep twenty minutes, strain and
sweeten. OF this or the tinctura give
to an adult one teaspoonfnl every
twenty minutes until the desired ef-
feet has been produced. Ii from any
cause the patient ia unable to swallow,
give by enema, one tablespoonful mixed
in half pint of warm water, to be re-
tanned until the first vomiting. when it
should be discharged, but If it should
pass from the bowels directly after be-
ing given, it will be necessary to re-
peat it. Its effects should be vomiting
and cessation Of spasms.


Bear in mind that to overcome the
rabid symptoms is the object in point,
and when that is reached give only a
teaspoonful at intervals Of several
hours, to prevent relapse, but not so
as to continue the vomiting. 1t is neces-
sary while passing through this process
that the patient be furnished with plen-
ty of lot stimulating teas to aid vomit-
ing, and with the adjunct of not sub
stances surrounding the body and feet
so as to produce copious and continued
perspiration, as there is much of the
deadly virus in the blood discharged
through the pores.


If a relapse should take place, re.
peat the course. So much for the
treatment of the disease after it is de-
veloped. II we accept as a truth the
trite maxim that prevention is better
than cure," or that which will cure a
disease, will also prevent 1t, then we
can see the primary Importance of pur-
suing an active course Of preventive
measures.

jefferson Davis, received copy of the
will and letter from Davis. The letter
recites that the writer for years had
known Mrs. Dorsey, and by daily asso-
citation with her during the past two
years, came to know all her goodness

In the letter gave any intimation that
he thought the bequest strange. Davis
has no idea of allowing it to pass from
him. Nevertheless it is positively af-
hrmed that the will will be contested to
the end. Able lawyers of this city and
New Orleans have been engaged. The
grounds upon which they will combat
the will, will be undue influence or in
ability to execute such instrument.
Ellis, after his service in the southern
army, went to Panama where he was
employed in railroad office. He is

Io to sell in August will bring nearly
t"lce as much per pound as in November,
ana it costs very little more to raise them.
Dt course 1t required more care to get
them started early in the season and after
that, the cost is about the same as with
ater chickens, To have chickens ready
for market in August they should be
Matched in April and kept in thrifty
growing condition right along all the time
TILL they are killed for the market.


Any one who has warm, comfortable
place for poultry can have the chickens
Matched in April without much extra care.
After they are hatched, for day or two
they need very little food, except little
milk for drink. After that they NAV be
fed upon milk, corn meal, and wheat
mlddlings mixed. Milk either sweet or
slobbered affords excellent food for chicks.
and on farms where it can be obtained,
should be fed to them freely. 1t promotes
thrifty and healthy growth. Boiled po-
tatOeS mixed with corn meal makes good
feed.


The chickens should be regularly fed
with all that they need every day and
kept in as thrifty a condition as possible
all the time until they are fit to market.
When OF sufficient size, dress neatly send
to market early and get good price for
them. In August and September fancy
prces frequently prevail for good fat
chickens in Boston market. The Domin-
lques and Plymouth Rocks are said to be
we'll adapted to early market
