To CURE collar bolls on horses, place
the collar on the horse, and mark where it
strikes the sore; then remove the col
lar and cut hole in it large enough to re.
move all that part of the collar that bears
on the sore. This removes the cause
of the sore, and by washing with
fresh water every time you unhitch, your
horse will soon get well.

noon as Mr.. Daniel Wood, market gar

RE-MACADAMIZING STREETs.-W
think the majority Of the citizens OF the
city, tax payers at that, would be salts
fed if all the principal streets were mac
adamized once, but we are sure that they
do object to the city authorities using
their money for the purpose of tearing up
a street that has recently been macadam-
lied and doing the work over again. If
il was not fixed properly at first, why was
it not? Who is to blame for it? Why
don't they employ competent hands ? The
street alluded to is Eighth, between Frank

At eleven o'clock this morning the
tide in the North River. was higher
than at any time since the 9TH Of
March, two years ago. Many OF the
Easements in Exchange Place were
flooded, and there was barely space
between the end of the ferry bridge
and the roof Of the ferry house for
covered express wagons to pass. The
basement restaurant at the Northern
Hotel, foot of Cortland street, was
Hooded with two feet of water, and
many of the easements along West
street We're also flooded, doing much
damage.


The tide rose so high in the river
that ferry boats were rocked like row
boats on its bosom. The docks and
ferries suffered to great extent
from the lashing of the waves, and to
the great alarm of passengers.


At the HobOken ferries the tide rose
above the dock, and flowed i'm upon
them until they were covered with
water two feet in depth. Each boat at
its landing was, under these circum-
stances, about six or eight feet above
the level Of the dock, while the water
from the river finally flowed out upon
the streets leading to the ferry, and
covered the basement Of the new hotel
now in course OF erection.


There is an unusual overflow, but
there is no excuse for not taking the
proper precautions to prevent u SINH
lar occurrence again. Traffic, and
even the progress Of foot passengers,
was stopped for considerable time.


Along South and West streets, near
" all the cellars were flooded, but,
owing to the precursors sent forward
TO warn of its approach, the high tide
did little damage.


In West street the effect of the
rising of the water was more disastrous
than in South street. In some portions
of the street the high water had forced
itself through the sewers and in their
vicinity the streets were flooded.
Many OF the dining saloons in the cell
lars on that street were Obliged to
close, and the prOprietors Of such es-
tablishments will be the greatest
sufferers from the high water.


At one O'Clock the tide subsided, and
the WATERWAYS again drawn back into
the river.

WASHINGTON, July T.-Secretary Delano

The Star says Tuesday General Howard
visited the office of the Inspector General
Of the army. who has his headquarters in
the War Department, and requested from
an officer attached to that branch of the
service information as to what charges he
could be tried upon, should the department
see tit to order court martial in his case
He was informed that he could be tried for
neglect Of duty in allowing his subordinates
to misapply the money belonging to the
Freedmen's Bureau or under the thirty
ninth article of war for embezzlement. In
a conversation had with the officer, upon
the subject of his troubles, it was suggested
to him that he lad the privilege 70 demand
a court of inquiry, and inasmuch as the
charges had become matter of public no.

quest an investigation by a military court.
General Howard replied that with the feel

think he could get justice and he had thus
far declined to ask TOR trial by such tri-

In a recent lecture on g marriage, :"
Mr.. Chas, @. Ames compressed much
truth and common sense in the follow
ing terms "In class of cases sepa-
ration is right and necessary. It is too
loose and vague to say that '' inoompaE
bility" is a sufficient ground for divorce.
There are all degrees Of incompatibility,
and nearly every union is narred
by some degree of it. But where this
incempatibility is deep-sested. radical
and incurable, 50 that neither can be to
the other more than dog is to cat or
a bird to a beast where one party
proves hopelessly lost in lOathsome per-
sonal vices, where one party is persis-
tently faithless to all that is meant by
marriage where all means of com
ing into kindly relations have been
thoroughly tried and have thor
oughly failed and where the yoke
is chronic agony and disqual flcation
for all life; in such cases 1 think it is
an awful crime not to separate. But
this will not often happen, unless one
party or the other has fallen very low.
Not for light reasons, not IN haste, even
for reasons, should law, public opinion,
or private practice, consent to the de-
struction of household once formed.
The talk of divorce whenever there
is difficulty, is like sending for
the grave-digger whenever there is
sickness. We do not give up even
when the doctor says mo hope ; We
send for the other doctors; We fan the
last spark and when all is over, we
place hand on the still heart and ask
if its warmth must forever depart.
Nor do we then hasten to bury till the
dead threatens pestilence to the living.
In this spirit we must treat the disor-
ders to which the married state is al
ways liable; grudging no pains by
which harmony might be restored !;
welcoming every symptom of GONZALES
cence; saying or doing nothing to ag-
gravate or irFitate hoping against hope
to the last never so much as alluding
to fatal termination till the last throb
of mutual interest has ceased, and the
moral health of household and cemmu-
nifty command to bury the dead mar
liage out of sight"

How it Works Upon AS Victims.


The type of the disease varies from
year to year, and every great epidemic
has traits of its own but the main tea
lures are the same, and an experienced
and competent physician infallibly re-
cognizes these in twenty four hours.
True, it is impossible for the most skill
full to distinguish between these symp-
toms. s.and those of the Dengue, or ''bro-
ken-bone fever" for the first night and
day. A man in the enjoyment Of un-
common health and strength (for the
delusive disease seems to delight IN
snaring it's victim unawares, to make
the sacrice fat for its dark altar finds
rigor, or slight chill creeping over him,
followed by pains in the head and back,
and fever, which rises rapidly. The
pains become violent, excruciating, and
the pulse ranges from 10S to 100. The
tongue is not coated or furred, but as
sumes red, CLASSY appearance, and Of
ten swells to far beyond it's natural size
the gains begin TO enlarge, and black
deposit settles on the teeth. The secre-
tions of the body are deranged and Of
ten the bladder becomes dry as pow
der horn, for the kideys fail to perform
their function. Woe TO the patient
when such is the case, for the urinary
acid it almost sure to be carried TO the
brain, producing the widest diliriu1n,
and if not quickly relieved, issuing in
speedy and terrible death. The stom-
ach is disordered, and often there is a
Ill position to reich the nerves become
prematurely excited, and the restless
ness is indescribabIe, while the eyes are
painfully sensitive to Light, and the
ears to sound. In some cases the lips,
the Whole face grow red as crimson.
Usually the full, corded pulse thFobs
with sledge-like stroke-the other symp-
toms unabated-for seventy two hours,
when the fever deelines-the pulse still
remaining quick, but like the trembling
vibration Of a thread. By this time the
patient is so reduced that he can scarce
ly lift his head, on indeed raise On eye
lid. This is the critical period, and in

fact, forward from this time until abso-
Lutte, not apparent, eonvalescence takes
place.


Yellow fever is sometimes thought to
be a high type of bilious but there
could be no greater mistake, for count
less autopsies IN the south have showed
the liver to be in good condition; indeed
1 have not heard Of a case where it was
seriously implicated. The disease is
stsi geaeris, having little or no kinship
with other malarious affections, and is
distinctly poison to the blood. Hence
the constant tendency to extravasation
of the blood into the gums, eyes, ears,
stomach; for in some severe cases, blood
is thrown out from every opening Of the
body. It is often forced in large guam
titles into the stomach, and when this
is thrown off the black vomit occurs.

this poor woman there a raving maniac,
with one dead babe in one arm, and
another in the other, clinging to the cold
nipple of her lifeless breast. And if
you had been brothers to such awoman,
sons of such woman, fathers of such
woman, would not rebellion have
seemed the holiest gospel you could
hear preached? Two hundred and fifty
thousand evictions took place in the
twenty years preceding 1866. Two

Brother separated from sister, husband
from wife, the Union work-house taking
one, and the other going out trying to
find life if he can. This system has
gone on until it has made a misery so
vast that it will require not one act of
parliament in favor of wisdom, not one
statutein faver of justice, not one declara-
ton in favor of humanity, but genera

in some degree to efface the bloody stain
of iniquity We have made on the page of

INDIANAPOLIS, April 15.-The In

tain a short letter from Governor Hen
bricks, defining his position in reference
to the rumOfs recently. circulated as to
the significance of his recent trip to
Washington. Governor Hendricks says,
in reply to direct inquiry: " My visit
TO Washington City had nothing what
ever to do with political matters, and
while there / had less conversation in
relation to parties and party organiza-
tions than at any former visit to that
city, and l was quite surprised when
l learned that the newspaper correspOn-
dents attributed to me any political pur-
pose. A cause in the supreme court and
some other business in the department
occupied nearly all my time, and my
conversations with friends and acquain-
tances upon public and political matters
were casual and without arrangements,
and might say without design. / have
expressed the hope which L earnestly
entertained, that all who sincerely de-
sire thorough reform in the public ser
vice shall so act together as to restore
integrity and economy in that service,
and place public authority once more
upon a constitutional basis. How this
may be best accomplished, whether
through our existing organizations or by
a movement introducing new clements,
should be carefully considered, ana the
action of the Democratic, Liberal and
Reform elements in the State will prob
ably suggest the best general action. l
believe large majority of the people de-
sire a change in the administration,
and the practical question is,
how they shall come together.

truly yours, T. A. HENDRICKS.
