death that occurs from yellow fever is
caused by not attending to it in time,
or by giving injudicious nourishment

fever. A simple purge at the begin

bath, and blankets to produce perspi-
ration, orange-leaf tea as a beverage,
and perfect quiet, are all that is neces-
ssry. No stimulant or food of anv
kind should be given while the fever
lasts.


"After the fever leaves, the slight

quiet during several days to prevent a
relapse. Quinine should never be
given while the fever is on; when the
fever has left it may be given in small
quantities as tonic. There seems to
be a great deal Of conjecture as to
what kind of fever prevails here now.
It matters little what name rs given to

NEW York, Aug. 16.-The Sun says:
Within few days Mrs. Tilton has taken
Bessie Turner into her household. The
girl came to her with pitiful story of her
attempt to earn living and that the cold
shoulder was turned upon her by Beechers s
friends. Mrs. Tilton explained to q lady
friend how she came to make her last con-
tession. She went one Sunday to Plymouth
Church, heavily yelled, and took a seat in
the gallery. No one recognized her, and
but two or three persons knew she was
there. Beecher was ignorant of her pres
ence. He preached his powerful sermon
on the downfall of VIM. c. Gilman, the for
ger, and the burden of his argument was
that confession was the only balm for the
guilty soul


Mrs. Tilton said she had been annoyed by
a lecture agent who insisted upon her going
into the field, guaranteeing her fortune of
100000 if she would consent. She refused
to entertain any proposition of the kind.
She claimed that the subject of union
with her husband had never been broached
between them, and asserted distinctly that
she was more averse to living with him
than he could possibly be. She did not
now feel that she was entitled to resume
her relations as wife to her husband and
mother to her children. She expressed an
aversion to entering into the details of her
SIM but intimated that she intends to pre-
pare history of her experience with
Beecher, and leave it to her husband S
friends, to be made use of as they pleased
after her death.


The Sun editorially says: "When Beech
er's relative, the swindler Gilman, was
caught, Beecher preached fearful sermon,
in which he dwelt upon the necessity and
salutariness of confession. In one of the
pews sat heavily veiled woman, who cried
with the rest So much effect did the SER
mon produce upon her that she went away
with a quickened conscience, which gave
her no peace until she confessed the sin OF
her own life, to-wit, adultery with Henry
Ward Beecher. Thereupon the preacher
said the confession was lie, and Plymouth
Church dropped the woman's name from
its rolls"

Farmers who look after the comfort Of
their cattle, rarely suffer pecuniary
loss by disease or death. In the stable
cleanliness and ventilation are, with an
occasional eurrying, the important re-
quirements that promote health. Ex-
periments have proven that COWS in milk
and old oxen retain their condition in
confined and warm quarters during
winter, while animals under three years
thrive better in well-sheltered yard,
with shed attached, the floor Of which
should be covered with dried leaves or
refuse straw, which would afford them a
resting place during the nights. Leaves
make an excellent winter-bedding and
every farmer should have a supply on
hand to renew the beds from time totinle.
a shelter from the rain and snow and
northeasteriy winds is the only protection
the younger animals require during the
inclepens season, as their blood oiEenlates
