Alim County. At Fort Wayne, a few mornings ago, John Mohr and Ha wife were discovered in an unconscious state, caused by gu from a coal stove escaping into a close room where they were sleeping. W. M. Bossier, a switchman on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railroad st Fort Wayne, while in the performance of his duties the other night, eaught his foot in a frog and was run down by a train, receiving injuries which proved fatal in two hours. Bossier was a married man with two children. The residence of Mrs. Amend Hoover, at Fort Wayne, was recently entered by burglars, robbed of a valuable lot. of Jewelry and about S3OO in money. C. Orff & Co., of Fort Wayne, heavy dry goods and millinery dealers, have failed recently, with liabilities estimated at $70,000. Bartholomew County. The Columbus Republican says: “ Many of our farmers complain of having lost a number of hogs during the past cold spell, and in most cases the disease is pronounced cholera. An investigation into this matter, made by one of our prominent butchers, proved that in every case the hogs actually died for want of water. The creeks and ponds being frozen up, and the owners too careless or lazy to furnish them water, the hogs were left to eat snow and ice, which produced an inward fever that finally terminated in death.” Caaa County. Joseph Mann, living near Rosedale, about ten miles north of Logansport, while rumaging a bureau drawer where a five-pound can of powder was kept, the other day, accidentally ignited the powder from a cigar he was smoking. The explosion blew one end of the house out, landed Joseph and his brother in the yard, destroyed the eyesight of the former, and seriously injured both otherwise. George Bevan, Chief Engineer of the Logansport Fire Department, was stricken with apoplexy a few days ago. Clarke County. Edward Corbin, who, it will be remembered, killed a man in Jeffersonville, named James Boyer, some time last summer, by beating his skull in with an ale bottle, was convicted in the Clarke County Criminal Court, a few days ago, *of murder in the second degree, and sentenced to the State Prison for life. Clay County. The coal-shafts of the Jackson Coal Company, Smith, Reed A Co. and Veach, Hall & Co., near Brazil, were burned by incendiaries, a few nights since. The miners, out on a strike with little chance of success, had made frequent threats of violence if the owners held out. Mr. Jackson recently gave his miners a last opportunity to resume work, and stated that unless they did men would be brought in to take their places. It was also reported that a lot of colored miners were on their way to supersede the strikers and thus precipitated the crime. The loss will probably average SIO,OOO to $15,000 to each mine, with slight insurance, as it is understood that several insurance companies had canceled their policies in anticipation of trouble.

Several weeks ago the body of a colored man was found at the bottom of a Brazil coal shaft He had been uttering anti-union sentiments and his murder has recently been attributed to the strikers. Greene County. The Sullivan Union has the following account of a shooting affray in the western •dge of the county, in which John Shepherd was shot and dangerously wounded by his son: “It seems the son was carrying a revolver, to which the old man objected, and demanded it of the boy. The boy refused to give it up and the father undertook to wrest it from him. A scuffle ensued, in which the old man downed the boy and punished him severely. The sisters of the boy interfered and succeeded in pulling the old man away. As soon as the boy was released he leveled his pistol at his father and fired, the ball taking effect in the region of the hip and ranging upward, inflicting a severe, if not fatal, wound.” Marton County. Andrew Dougherty was found dead in Pogue’s Run, corner of Ray street, Indianapolis, a few afternoons ago, lying in eighteen Inches of water. Mr. L. Barr, an employe of one of the Indianapolis rolling mils, is said to be one of the most powerful men west of the Alleghenies. He often picks up a couple of rails, weighing 1,120 pounds, for small wagers, and can handle a 560-pound rail easier than most men handle a fair-sized stick of wood. He is credited with having lifted 1,475 pounds not long since. This modern Samson wears his hair short, is six feet in height, and magnificently proportioned. Mrs. Schneider, the woman whose husband was found dead in White River a year ago, was found the other night at Indianapolis with her throat cut She had lived an abandoned life since her husband’s death, and committed suicide. Miami County. Edward Jackson, a Peru boy, has been fooling with a pistol, and escaped with his life and one leg. St. Joseph County. The Thespian Association of Notre Dame celebrated Washington’s birthday by appropriate dramatic exercises. Vermillion County. A few evenings ago M. F. Carlan and Robert Mills came near losing their lives while attempting to cross the Little Vermillion River, one mile west of Newport, in a twohorse carriage. The river was bank-full and not less than ten feet deep where they drove in and, the current being very rapid, soon upset the vehicle, throwing the two men into the water. One of them reached the shore without assistance, while Mr. Mills, who is well up In years, managed to get on a big piece of floating ice and was swept down the river with fearful speed, and soon would have been capsized and drowned If a farmer residing near by had not discovered his perilous position and come to his rescue. One of the horses got loose from the rig and swam out; the other animal floated down the river with the carriage and lodged under a big drift, where it soon drowned. Vigo County. The Wabash had risen fourteen feet in the preceding twenty-four hours at Terre Haute on the 24th. The steamers Young America and Elk were swept down by the pressure of floating ice. The Young America was caught six miles below in a badly damaged condition, and the Elk is supposed to be lost The steamer Dolly Varden was sunk at the landing by the ice. The boilers in William Paddock & Co.’s mill, at Terre Haute, exploded the other day, injuring one man. Loss $5,000. The boilerplates were defective.

A Living Automaton.

The attention of the medical profession in France has recently been called to a very remarkable case. A young man during the German war received a gunshot wound by which a portion of the right parietal bone was carried away to the extent of nearly three inches. A paralysis of the right side was the consequence of this wound. By degrees, however, the paralysis disappeared and the use of the limb was restored; but the mind remained singularly affected The man was by profession a public singer. He has, since his restoration from bodily paralysis, been subject to fits, or crises, lasting from twenty-four to forty-eight hours, during which his con/ dition presents some extraordinary phenomena. He seems, in fine, to be a veritable automaton. He walks continually, mumbling without cessation, and appearing to be wholly unconscious of persons or objects by which he is surrounded. He walks straightforward, never speaking a word. When he encounters any obstacle he stops, feels with his hand, and seeks a way of avoiding or going around it, without giving the least sign of intelligence, as if he were in a state of somnambulism. He is absolutely without feeling. Pins may be stuck into his flesh without producing the ‘slightest sensation, and violent electrical shocks fail to move him in the least degree. This state is not, however, that of entire unconsciousness, as is shown by the remarkable fact that it a pen is put into his hand he immediately seeks for

ink and paper, and upon obtaining them writes a letter, in which he speaks correctly and intelligently of various matters which concern him. So, also, if a piece of cigarette paper is placed in his hand, he immediately takes tobacco from his pocket, rolls a cigarette, lights it with a match from his box and smokes it. If one extinguishes the match before it reaches the cigarette he takes another from his pocket and lights it as before, refusing absolutely to take one which may be offered him already lighted. He will allow his mustache to ue burned without appearing to notice it; but will' not take a lighted match which may be offered him. If chopped lint be substituted for the tobacco contained in his pouch he makes his cigarette of it and smokes it without appearing to notice the difference of taste. Among the experiments of Dr. Mesnet upon this singular subject is one which is particularly curious. He places in the hands of the man who, as has been said, had been a public singer, a pair oUnd gloves. The man immediately pdts them on and seeks for his sheet of music. A roll is given him, like a piece of music, upon which he assumes the attitude of a public performer and begins to sing. When the crisis is passed he becomes perfectly reasonable, but has not the slightest recollection of what has occurred. The case presents an interesting subject of investigation for physicians and psychologists.

A Family of Astronomers.

What an example and what instruction may be found in the long career of William Herschel, who passed half a century in sounding the mysterious depths of the universe! The son of a poor musician—burdened with a numerous family—he embraced the paternal profession, and went, when twenty years old, to try his fortune in England. He barely earned a living by giving music lessons and directing concerts or oratories, when he was appointed organist at Halifax, then soon after filled the same office in Bath. He passed his leisure time in studying works on astronomy. As he was not rich enough to purchase a telescope he went to work, and, after a thousand attempts, succeeded in making, in 1774, a five-foot reflector, with which he observed Saturn’s ring. Encouraged by this first success the organist of Bath entered upon the construction of mirrors of seven feet, then ten and twenty feet of focus. He made more than 200 before attaining the desired perfection, and the total number of mirrors that he worked upon in succession exceeded 400. In 1781 he had the good fortune to discover the planet Uranus, which extended the boundary of the solar system. He was then forty-three years old. This discovery drew upon him the attention of Europe; George 111. granted him a pension and a dwelling at Slough, near Windsor Castle. He then commenced that methodical review of the heavens by means of which he discovered more than 2,000 nebulae, and suggested so many new views of the universe. The greatest part of his 1 abor was executed with instruments of moderate dimensions; he rarely used the great telescope of forty feet, the mirror of which was easily tarnished by the action of the moisture of the night; he used it, however, in the discovery of the sixth satellite of . Saturn. William Herschel died in 1822; the year before his death, at the age of eightythree, he communicated his last paper to the Astronomical Society of London, which since its foundation had chosen him for President. In all his researches he was assisted by his sister Caroline, who had lived with him ever since she was twenty-two years old, and who aided him in his observations as well as in his calculations. In this way he was able toastonish the scientific world by the rapidity with which his publications succeeded each other. Caroline Herschel died at Hanover, her native city, in 1849, at the age of ninety-eight. Sir John Herschel, the only son of the great astronomer, worthily continued these illustrious traditions. He resumed and completed the exploration of the heavens commenced by his father, at first at Slough, then at the Cape of Good Hope, where he transported a telescope of twenty feet. He died in 1871, after hav ing contributed by'labors of the highest order to the progress of science. One of his sons, Alexander Herschel, is equally devoted to astronomical pursuits. —Emma M. Converse, in Popular Science Monthly.

Wintering Farm Horses.

1 have noticed for some years that farm horses have had a hard time during the winter months, not because of work but of the want of care. Farm horses wear out as fast if not faster than horses that work during the year. Now there is a cause for all this. Jn the first place horses that have been in the open air and sunshine should have these hygienic influences all of the time, and horses thad have been in active exercise should still be allowed ample room and opportunity for what exercise nature requires. Then again horses that have been fed high should by all means have enough feed to so recruit them that they will look sleek and have fat enough to keep them warm. Therefore when horses have accomplished the work of the season and are to rest for some weeks or months to come the first thing to be done is to have the shoes taken off, then give them their regular feed for a few days at least, that is, till they look fresh and their eyes look bright, and they show signs of good rich blood in their veins; then drop the noon feed of grain and go on for a time with two feeds per day, and then leave off the morning feed ot grain, and finally drop the feed of grain at night; still I would never let a horse stand and paw or ask for food at night, for it is a loss rather than a gain to try and cheat a horse out of his honest living. As the noon feed is withdrawn give some green food, say potatoes, carrots or turnips, but I would limit the roots to a fourth or a half peck for a few days, then give once, twice or thrice a week as the case may be. By all means give plenty of hay and good, fresh, pure water, with salt as they may require. Now as to exercise, after the horse has eaten his morning meal turn him loose in a good, large yard and let him remain till noon; after the noon feed turn him out again until night, then put him up and feed for the night; of course stormy days I should keep him in the stable, u horses are kept at work part of the time keep the shoes on and feed according to the work, but by all means give the yard exercise whenever he is let up from work.— Massachusetts Ploughman.

—A joke is going the rounds m press circles at Toronto, Canada. The editor 6f the Globe on a recent Friday engaged the chief Parliamentary reporter of the Mail, Mr. Parkhurst, by an ofler of £SO a year higher salary. The Mail, on the following Monday, returned the compliment by securing the services of Mr. Horton, chief reporter of the Globe, at a like increase. Mr. Sturtevant was arrested in Milford, Mass., for starving a horse to death. Upon the trial it was shown that he had a memory so defective as to nearly amount to mental incapacity, and had actually forgotten that he owned a horse. The animal was a valuable one, which fact in itself was strong proof of the theory of defense, and he was acquitted.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

—Aunt Eliza’s Tapioca Cream.—Soak a half coffee cup of tapioca in apint of milk over night; next morning add one quart of milk, the yolks of three eggs well beaten; sweeten and salt to taste and cook it by standing in a kettle of hot water; stir the tapioca every few minutes until about as thick as cream; when done flavor with vanilla or lemon, pour out in dishes or forms, then lay on the top or stir in gradually the whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff froth; stand away to get cold. —Cream Cakes.—Take one cup of butter and one pint of water and bring them to a bofi; while bailing stir in slowly two cups of fleur, mix thoroughly and when cold break into the batter seven eggs; be sure not to beat the eggs before putting them into the batter; stir until the lumps are thoroughly mixed, drop from a spoon into a pan and bake in a quick oven. This quantity will make two dozen cakes; you will find the mixture pretty thick.— Cor. Household. —How to Prevent Damp From Entering Into Stone. —The following ingredients melted and mixed together and applied while in a hot state to the surface of a stone will prevent all damp from entering it and also vegetable substances from growing upon it. One and one-half pounds of rosin, one pound of Russian tallow, one quart of linseed oiL This simple remedy has been proved upon a piece of very porous stone made into the form of a basin, and two coats of this liquid being applied caused it to hold water as any earthenware vessel. —Boiled Chestnuts.—Peeloff the shells of the chestnuts - with a sharp knife, cover them with water and boil them until the skin can be peeled oft readily. Peel this off, return them to the water in which they were previously cooked (unless it be very dark), cover close and stew gently until they are very tender, drying the water nearly or quite out. They are much whiter and sweeter if the hard “ shucks” are taken off before boiling and they are nicer to handle. Serve warm for breakfast. If, however, this requires too much time, boil them in the shucks until tender, then rinse them thoroughly with boiling water and dry them with a soft cloth. In this case every plate should be provided with a sharp knife. —To Keep Plants Over Night Without Fire. —I have kept many plants nicely all winter without any fire at night in the following manner: Have made of wood or zinc a tray of any size—you may need it about four inches deep, with a handle on either end, water-tight—paint it outside and in, put in each corner a post as high as the tallest of your plants and it is ready for use. Arrange your flower pots In it and fill between them with sawdust; this absorbs the moisture falling from the plants when you water them and retains the warmth acquired during the day keeping the temperature of the roots even. When you retire at night spread over the posts a blanket or shawl and there is no danger of their freezing. The tray can be placed on a stand or table and be easily moved about. —Cor. American Farm Journal.

Reed & Sons' Organs.

If you wish to buy a first-class organ with the latest improvements, the sweetest quality of tone and the newest style of case, send to Reed’s Temple of Music, Chicago. The “ prominence and acuteness” of the noses of San Francisco young women have attracted the attention of a California writer, and he fears that female suffrage will begin to raise its hydra head there presently. The American Oboaks, advortieod in another column, have the guaranty which comes from twenty-five years of successful experiment, and from the well-known high character of the manufacturers. They now offer entirely new styles, unsurpassed in quality and beauty. The official report to the Austrian Government respecting musical instruments at the Vienna Exposition declares the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs to be “the most distinguished and praiseworthy instruments” of their class; praising in detail their power and resonance of tone, variety of combination and solo effects; fine power of expression; smooth, even and sympathetic tones, and thorough workmanship. They were awarded the first and highest medal. Other American organs in competition were declared to be far less meritorious, the tones and workmanship being both Inferior. In comparison, it was said: ‘•Judged leniently, they do not rise above a respectable mediocrity.” This was undoubtedly the most extensive, thorough and competent comparison of such instruments ever made.

A Hartford clergyman was in the middle of a sentence in his morning sermon on a recent Sunday when the clock struck for noon. He immediately closed his manuscript, remarking: “That’s a good enough ending,” and brought the service to a speedy close. To the ' Suffering.—An old retired physician, who is candid enough to tell the truth about progress, has declared that the recent discovery by Dr. Walker, of California, of his herb remedy, Vinegar Bitters, is one of the most important in medicine. He has tested them thoroughly, in his own family, among his friends, and upon himself; and he is driven to the conclusion that they possess rare and unexcelled curative properties. He says of them-. “ They contain no dangerous drug. They never reduce the patient—never render one liable to take cold—never interfere with the every-day business of life—never make their continuous use a condition of cure, and are adapted to even the most delicate organizations. They" act as kindly on the tender infant, the delicate female, or infirm old age as on the vigorous and athletic system; exercising healthful effects upon every blood-vessel —on the brain, nerve and lymphatics—on the Blood, Bile, Gastric Juice, etc., enriching impoverished fluids and imparting vigor to mind and body.” 24 There are probably a hundred or more persons in this and neighboring towns who daily suffer from the distressing effects of kidney troubles who do not know that Johnson's Anodyne Liniment is almost a certain cure. In severe cases great relief jnay be obtained, if not a perfect cure. We notice that the agricultural papers all over the country recommend the use of Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Powders.—Exchange. Farmers and others in this section have long known and appreciated the advantage of these powders over all others. Allen’s Lung Balsam causes the lungs to throw off the .matter that is collected over the air-cells, and makes the patient breathe more freely and purifies the blood, gives strength to the body, and tone to the digestive organs, heals the irritated parts and give life and health to the system. Asthma is soon relieved by its use. For sale by dealers in Family Medicines generally.

A Few Words to Feeble and Delicate

Bv R. V- PIERCE, M. D n of the World’s Dispensary, Buffalo, N. T. Knowing that you are subject to a great amount ot suffering that delicacy on your part has a strong tendency to prolong, and the longer it is neglected the more you have to endure and the more difficult of cure your case becomes, I, as a physician, who is daily consulted by scores of your sex, desire tosay to you that I am constantly meeting with those who have been treated for their ailments for months without being benefited in the least, until they have become perfectly discouraged and have almost made up their minds never to take another dose of medicine nor be tortured by any farther treatment. They had rather die and have their sufferings ended than to live and suffer as they have. They say they are worn out by suffering and are only made worse by treatment. Of anything more discouraging we certainly cannot conceive, and were there no more successful mode of treating such difficulties than that the principles of which teach the reducing and depleting of the vital forces of the system, when the indications dictate a treatment directly the reverse of the one adopted for them, their cases would be deplorable indeed. But, lady sufferers, there is a better and far more successful plan of treatment for you—one -more in harmony with the laws and requirements of your system. A harsh, irritating, caustic treatment and strong medicine will never cure you. If you would use rational means, such as common sense should dictate to every intelligent lady, take such medicines as embody the very best invigorating tonics and nervines, compounded with special reference to your delicate system. Such a happy combination you will find in my Favorite Prescription, which has received the loudest praise from thousands of your sex. Those languid, tiresome sensations causing you to feel scarcely able to be on your feet or ascend a flight of stairs; that continual drain that is sapping from your systems all your former elasticity and driving the bloom from your Cheeks; that continual strain upon your vital forces that renders you irritable and fretful, may all be overcome and subdued by a persevering use of that marvelous remedy. Irregularities and obstructions to the proper workings of’ your systems are relieved by this mild and safe means, while periodical pains, the existence of which is a sure indication of serious disease that should not be neglected, readily yield to it, and if its use is kept up for a reasonable length of time the special cause of these pains is permanently removed. Further light on these subjects may be obtained from my pamphleton diseases peculiar to your sex, sent on receipt of two stamps. My Favorite Prescription is sold by druggists.

Dr. J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, “What is the cause of the unparalleled success of Vinegar Bitters!” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of tho world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vineoar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dr. Walker’s Vinegab Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative,"“Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Alterative. and Anti-Bilious. r. h.
