Eighty convicts In the State Prison at Jeffersonville, who were at work in the foundry, made a bold and desperate attempt to escape the other afternoon. They suddenly quit work, overpowered the guard, tied and blinded them, and succeeded in partially cutting a bole through the outer wall, when a general alarm was given. The ontside guard rushed to the rescue, and, on top of the walls, forced the convicts at the muzzles of their Spencer rifles to desist from further attempts at escape. The leaders in the conspiracy were promptly dealt with and all became quiet. Mrs. Borden, wife of Prof. Borden, Assistant State Geologist, a highly-educated lady, attempted suicide at Providence a few days ago. Family difficulties, which had been made public through the ' papers and the courts, were the cause. Elkhart County. Samuel Irwin was found dead near Bristol, the other day. A Coroner’s inquest was held and a verdict rendered of death from freezing, while under the influence of liquor. Later investigations render it morally certain that Samuel Irwiu, redbnUy found frozen to death at Bristol, was brutally murdered A man named McGarry has been arrested as Irwin’s murderer.

Already the surveys are completed, the drawings for the machinery, etc., finished and adopted, and the location of the reservoirs and pumps for supplying them has been determined. Fountain County. William and Henry Hunt, of Covington, while hunting lately, in a boat on the river, upset and came near drowning. They managed to right the boat and got in, but, it being full of water, they were so thoroughly chilled through that they could not manage it, and were compelled to float around at the mercy of the storm until their father found them and effected their rescue. When rescued they were speechless and frothing at the mouth, and unable to move their limbs. Gibson County. The Princeton Democrat says: “ For some time past there has been a feud existing between two German families—neighbors—living some three miles southeast of Princeton, named Keefer and Nestler. Jacob Keefer, Sr., has a son named Jacob who is some twenty-five years of age. Casper Nestler also has a son, named Gerhart, who is a man grown. On Wednesday last it is claimed by Jacob Keefer, Jr., that he was set upon by old man Nestler and his son, who gave him a whipping. On Thursday afternoon Jacob Keefer and old man Nestler met again somewhere near their residence and commenced fighting. Young Nestler also was present and attempted to assist his father, whom young Keefer was beating, when old man Keefer, who had come up, seized an ax, struck young Nestler on the left shoulder, cutting through to the hollow, the ax penetrating # downward low enough to cut two ribs from the back-bone.” Henry County. A few evenings ago Christian Herr, an aged citizen of Dudley Township, went to visit his sou-in-law residing in the edge of Wayne County. Some of his daughter’s family, noticing a horse and buggy hitched at their gate for some time and seeing no person with it, finally went out to see what it meant, when they discovered Mr. Herr lying near by, quite dead. The supposition is that he died of heart disease immediately after hitching his horse. • Kosciusko County. The residence of William Wallis, at Syracuse, was nearly destroyed by fire the other night.

Foster, at Laporte, made an unsuccessful attempt at suicide. It seems his girl had gone home from church with a handsomer man. This made him despondent, and he called upon the lady and demanded the return of the ring he had given her. Then, after filling up with poor whisky, he swallowed twenty grains of arsenic, which had toe effect of emptying itself and him very rapidly, so that he failed in his wellmeant efforts to shuffle off. A shooting affray occurred at Laporte lately, which resulted in the serious wounding of James Finley. It seems that two days before John Holloway and two of his sons had a dispute with Finley, which finally ended in blows, in which Finley had the best of it. Next morning Holloway’s two sons armed themselves and then went to Finley’s house, They called to him to come out, which he did when they immediately commenced firing at him with revolvers.

Spring Management of Animals.

Spring is a critical time for all farm stock that have been wintered in stables unless care is used between the time when grass begins to start and that season when feed is flush and the weather settled. Many farmers care for their animals during; the winter with the greatest assiduity, giving them plenty of feed and water, and warm stables; but, nevertheless, as soon as grass comes, turn them out to shift for themselves, allowing them to lie out of nights, and often during the severe storms so prevalent in spring. The consequence is, such cattle, and especially horses, contract diseases, and often the foundation is laid for disability through life. The remedy is entirely simple and ought to suggest itself to every man who cares for stock. Stable them as carefully every night as you would have done during the winter, and until the weather is settled, and thereafter stable them whenever there are indications of a storm. This should invariably be done with horses and' colts. Cattle are not so. liable to injury and may be left free some time sooner if they have sheds to lie under, the roofs of which are water-proof. Sheep should never be exposed to driving storms, for although the fleece does not wet through easily, when it does become wet it is a long time in drying, and if, being wet, another storm occurs before the place is dry, it again accumulates moisture, and much more easily than before, so the sheep are kept cold, uncomfortable and liable to disease. Another reprehensible practice with many who depend upon English works for information is trimming the hair of the pasterns and fetlocks of farm-horses, early in the spring, to prevent the accumulation of mud thereon and to save washing when the teams are brought in from labor. This would be no evil, or, at most, no serious one, if the heels of the horse so trimmed were well washed upon being brought into the stable, and then wiped and rubbed dry j but this is so seldom done in farmers’ staples that it is the exception and not the rule. Where it is carefully practiced there is but little need of trimming, except with very long-haired animals, since the act of washing the heels and legs, and rubbing them thoroughly dry, reduces the length of the hair, and keeps it short and thin enough. Let us look at this subject for a moment. Take, for instance, an animal clipped all over, as is often practiced with pleasure-horses in city stables. The horse is sweated, perhaps. Now, if left to stand in the wind, without blankets, the consequence is apt to be a severe cold, or perhaps some inflammatory disease attacks the system. Let him stand in the wind without sweating, and he soon begins to shiver. Why? In the one case evaporation goes on swiftly; and in just proportion to the force of the evaporation will the temperature of the body be lowered. The pores of the skin close and the animal, if not taken dangerously sick, suffers excessive inconvenience. If the animal be not heated with work the force of the wind or the extremity of the cold carries away the heat of the body faster than the vital energy of the body can supply it, and thus another source of danger ensues. If the animal be clothed sufficiently warm when standing, whether in the street or the stable, and if the animal be properly groomed when taken from work, no inconvenience will result. If, however, the hair of the animal be long, as it always is in winter when the horse is exposed to the weather, the heat of the body is entangled in the hair, and thuß evaporation goes on equably and the heat of the body is conserved. So with the long hair on the heels. It is placed there by nature, and serves a double purpose': First, it prevents mud from sticking to the skin to any great degree ; and, second, when once wet the hair prevents chilling by the entanglement of heat next the skin. So also the long hairs which grow in the hollow under the jams and on the neck and along the belly and flanks should never be clipped or singed on farm-horses. They are placed there for a special purpose—the protection of the animal. It is true there is a wide difference of opinion in regard to trimming the heels of horses. It is contended by some that the long hair keeps the skin wet and cold for a long time, thus giving rise to scurfy heels, scratches, grease, and other diseases attendant upon this state. But

those who will take the trouble to ex amine the matter impartially will find that, although the outer hair may remain wet, or even frozen, the hair next the skin will be dry, and the skin itself warmer. Thus it is evident, if the limbs cannot be carefully washed and dried after becoming wet and muddy, the hair had better be left long, and the longer the better; but, if the reverse is to be the rule, then the shorter the more easily the work will be done. A simple and easy plan for farmers, and one which has worked well with us, i* to have a set of flannel leggings for each horse—long enough to wrap twice around the leg, from the knee or hock to the hoofs, and fastened with straps at top and bottom. When the horses are brought into the stable at night they should be immediately washed and rubbed with a wisp of hay until the circulation is active. Then put on the leggings, feed the teams, and you may go to supper with a consciousness that the teams are not suffering. Your supper eaten you will have bat little dif%ulty in rendering the teams comfortable for the night by a little additional rubbing. If this plan were adopted we should advise by all means not shearing the heels as closely as though they had been shaved, bat thinning the long hair of the fetlocks fully one-half and shortening the remainder in the same proportion. The reason is simple: it will save much time in cleaning. There is one thing more in this connection to be mentioned: In winter and during the spring no teams should be allowed to stand with seven legs wet and unprotected while one is being cleaned. If the hair be long, while six are being dried the other two will have dried themselves or nearly so. This team will have received all the injury possible and the others a proportionate amount. If, on the other hand, the hair is short they will have become more quickly chilled. So there is danger in any event. Hence, after considerable experiment, we decided upon leggings for our own stable many years Bince and found the plan to work well, especially for the heels of horses the hair of which was rather short. A vicious practice, and one that will be remembered in the hereafter if there is a ‘'horse-heaven,” is the plan, still persisted in by many, of giving the horses continued doses of salts, or other medicines, under the notion that humors generate during the winter and must be purged out. Some, whose hairs are gray enough, probably remember the spring-dosing that they as children had to undergo, to the same supposed end — to get the humors out of the blood. It pretty effectually contracted an ill-humor in the poor, heart-broken urchins and lassies who were obliged to swallow the nauseous doses. And for what end were they given? Well, we used to think, to gratify the malignancy or stupidity of some snuffy old medical granny. However, intelligence is progressive, and men and women are better for it; and so, pray, don’t dose your horse because IBs coat looks a little rough in the spring. It is the natural consequence of the season. Remember, a horse may carry much robust health under-a rough exterior. —From the “ Farm and Garden,” in Chicago Tribune.

To the Unmusical.

There is no greater delusion than that of supposing that the best music can be enjoyed only by the “ musical.” Ordinary people can derive keen pleasure from a sympathetic listening to great music if they will but believe that they can, and so attend to it accordingly. There is no need of being baffled by a want of knowledge concerning keys, nor by an Ignorance of modulation. Your next neighbor may know that the air began in G major, and then passed into B minor, but you can still get your own simpler pleasure out of it. What is it to me what Titian’s secret of color might have been? He had it, and thafc is enough for one who cannot even draw. The first rule in listening to music is—to listen. We do not want to arouse ourselves to a frenzy of delight, but we do want to hear what the music is like. A very simple and very good rule for those who are perplexed by an orchestra, and who fancy they are puzzled to know where the tune comes in, is to listen to one Instrument, the violins, for instance* alone for a time. These will probably take up the melody and sing it plainly enough, then the movement may become more complicated and the air seem to have grown more florid, to be broken perhaps into brilliant fragments, but hearken!—the violoncelli have taken it up, and over it floats this new and lovely strain of the violins, then the flutes catch the melody, the cornets and the bassoon swell the harmony, the dram makes its rhythmic beats, the whole orchestra is alive with the theme, and before you know it you are in the very center of the music, and what was before involved and intricate now becomes plain and beautiful.— Scribner's Monthly. There is no risk in buying a Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organ. These instruments are known to be the best of their class in the world. But if the opinion of a dealer be asked he will frequently recommend some other, for the simple reason that he can get larger commissions for selling inferior instruments. —California views unmoved the first female student of medicine within her borders.

Pimples, Eruptions, Hough Skin.

The system being: put under the influence of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery for a few weeks, the skin becomes smooth, clear, soft and velvety, and, being illuminated with the glow of perfect health from within, true beauty stands forth in all its glory. The effects of all medicines which operate upon the system through the medium of the blood are necessarily somewhat slow, no matter how good the remedy employed. While one to three bottles clear the skin of pimples, blotches, eruptions, yellow -spots, comedones, or “ grubs,” a dozen may possibly be required to cure some cases where the system is rotten with scrofulous or virulent blood poisons. The cure of all these diseases, however, from the common pimple to the worst scrofula, is, with the use of this most potent agent, x>nly a matter of time. Sold by dealers in medicines.

Irob and Hardware.

[From Chicago Tribune of March 20.] Iron and hardware in the endless divisions and subdivisions of merchandise Included in the terms constitute a great feature of commerce in every manufacturing or mercantile district, and in Chicago the business of this department has come to reach high figure* A visit to almost any one of the several large houses reveals a general condition of active preparation for a busy season. S.D.Kimbark, successor to the firm of Kimbark Bros. A Co., who is perhaps most widely and generally related to the iron and heavy hardware trade, and who is regarded as a general Western authority in matters and statistics pertaining to that interest, when interviewed by a Tribune representative yesterday, candidly referred to the depression in the outside manufacturing industry as the most conspicuous feature in the records of the year, but reasoned in a way to apply effects on a national rather than local scale. The business of the great house on Michigan avenue of which Mr. Kimbark is the head, dating back a quarter of a century, entering somewhat largely into the history of the commerce of the city, has attained a stability and uniformity by simple magnitude which would naturally prevent its being affected to any noticeable degree by the ordinary vicissitudes of the market* ItTs claimed that to the operations of tills house is due the acquisition of considerable of the original territory of trade now constituting the common ground of the commerce of Chicago, including the Salt Lake district, and.remoter fields to the West and South which were traversed by its agents, and made accessory to the business of the city, long before aay buffalo, or Indian, or other native of these fertile bnt unchristian lands had ever been scared by the whistle of a locomotive. And when it is remembered that for twenty years the house has constituted a sort of steady center of distribution of iron and hardware supplies for manufacturers, wagon-makers, blacksmiths and merchants throughout the entire dominion of Western commerce, with 3,000 permanent names on the books of the firm, and sales aggregating as high as $2,000,000 a year, it Is reasonable to suppose that it would require something more than the temporary depression in the manufacturing industry to perceptibly affect the uniform volume and course of business. The establishment itself is one of the mercantile curiosities and solid attractions of the city—a center of very great interest to intelligent visitors generally as well as to a special community of mechanics, manufacturers and dealers—and may be properly designated as a perpetual industrial exposition of iron, steel, nails, Carriage and heavy hardware, blacksmiths’ outfits and wagon wood material, each classified department and every broad floor of the lofty building affording a display in enormous bulk more, calculated to surprise and interest the imagination Of a wagon-maker, iron mechanic or dealer than a world's fair. Nil Desperandum.—A real healthy man or woman is a rarity; and what wonder? when we that it is the custom to overload MM stomach, and then produce chronic disease by the use of spirituous liquors, “ Tonics,” “ Appetizers,” “ Restoratives,” etc. Having first produced disease by indiscretion, the victim wonders why “ nothing does him good.” Just so; and the reason is that they all, or nearly all, find a basis in alcohol —or poison. To all thus discouraged we can conscientiously say, “ make one more trial.” Discard spirituous medicines, and give nature a chance, aiding her in her struggle by using one of her own pure and unadulterated herb remedies, in the shape of Vinegar Bitters. The discoverer, Dr. J. Walker, of California, is no pretender, but an honorable practicing physician, and his discovery is the result of years of labor and study. The wonderful cures effected by them of Dyspepsia, Fevers, Rheumatism and many other terrible diseases are almost incredible. 28 Abe You Aware that the Pbomonitobies op Consumption are Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Pains in the Side and Chest, Difficulties of Breathing, etc.?
