THE INUNDATIONS IS SWiTZERinkSDs ORrtsil Report of tbs Recent Terrible Diaaiier—lnataM Dr.treetloe at Property— Tlieueend. of Families UeuMlett. Washington, Nov. 19. 18G8. —The following official account of the national calamity in Switzerland has just boon received at the Department of Stale Legation or THE United Statko. I Beene. Oct WiS, { Sna—Switzerland has recently been subjected to what may juatly be termed a national calamity. After an exceptionally dry aad agreeable season the country has been whated by a heretofore unequalled rain fall, and much of the cantons of Orisons, Tessin, and Valais, Glaris and St- Gall and Uri have, in oonaeqaaoce thereof, been litr terally desolated by inundations. The mountain rivulets and cascades, suddenly swelled into torrents; strap* villages, hamlets, cattle roads, bridges, dykes, earth and ■tone as debris upon the fields below, which are thus rendered forever hopeless wastes. The appeal of the authorities of the canton of Tessin tojtheir more fortunate fellow countrymen officially sets forth the effects of the storm; and ttuß description may tee tikeu as applicable in a greater or less extent to the other cantonsnamed. In the night of the 27th and 28th of September our canton was struck by a frightfal catastrophe. A volume of water precipitated itself as a deluge into the valleys of Biedio, of the Levantine, and Riviera, the Necnaao and the Maggia. This scourge was accompanied by the destruction of buddings and by the fall of trees, by earth and rock slides in such a manner as if all the (dements had combined to rival eaoh other in the work of devastation. All the beautiful country that extends from Glornias and Olivone to Biasca, unrecognisable to-day, is nothing but a mass of debris. Bonds, bridges, and dikes are destroyed; houses, mills and stables have been swept away, the rich forests, the fertile fields and vineyards, but yesterday flourishing; have disappeared; cattle have perishedby thousands, and that which adds to the conster- ‘ iffloß is the loss of more than fifty persons—some surprised in their sleep and and others the victims of their devotion while attempting to rescue and assist the drowning, fathers and mothers of families hive been crashed under the falling houses and their bodies swept off by the rushing wains. The disaster surpasses all that imagination can picture. Thousands of families have been struck by the calamity, and too many of |hsm have been reduced to the last 'extremity, with oat roof without clothes, and several deprived of their fathers. The loonoi, which tor the moment cannot be stated will rise to miUiens. The authorities, the societies and the citizens of this canton, reserved by heaven for so cruel an experience, are occupying themselves in proriding for the immediate wants of the victims, but all our forces will not provide for this immense burden. To you we address the appeal, which in this supreme necessity, is an utterance of the haazt-rathez than ths th&agbts.— We ■ askof your brothers in confidence not to abandon ns to these blows of destiny, and that they share with ns the cross of adversity. All species ot succors will be accepted by us with thankful hearts,' andfhe canton authorities will take can that the most suffering shaffflie the first to receive the benefits of your charities. To the Swiss people * * so blessed by God the desolate of the valley of the Tessin address their appeals and their

prayers. Subsequent information proves that this sad picture is not overwrought The governments, both federal and local, | as also the people, are for promptly ami generally responding*) the appeals of which this is but one. The President of the confederation, at the instance of the Federal Council at once repaired to the scene of the disaster. The military engineers were immediately despatched to superintend and direct the restoration and of the highways and bridges and dikes, in order to restore commanieatians, altogether suspended. Citizen committees have been organized in the remaining cantons for the purpose of visiting each house for assistance, and every possible means is put into requisition to relieve the sufferers and repair the otherwise heavy public damages. The disaster, however, has been so extended, and the number of people left at the threshold of winter, without shelter, clothes end bread, has been too large to be more than scantily and partially repaired and relieved by the local contributions however generous they may be. i lam not aware that appeals will be made to the Swiss or other residents abroad, elioold such be addressed to the resident Swiss of the United States. I beg to state thus briefly but officially that no human foresight could have evaded this blow and that she cry of distress appeals with equal force to the benevolent of our countrymen of wljptever origin of nationality they may Hon.

A Marvelous Adventure of three Body Snatchers of Louisville.

{Trots tho LootovUto »<**• *> ) The incident which wfi MAo give oto readers this morning is <hh*> BneriicdN students, who crossed tMPDhiA rltor Sag* urdey night, in adfciaj skiff, 1 aa» wjpl ■tom went for. and what they got. and what Jbafel tlein before they returned to Uni’'JthMbwm Stated repeatedly that the medical fraternity in Louisville, though a largt. wealthy anil powerful date, ero oftsn reduced to extremities for subjects for the fosecitog rest.- Often -they have Umu arrested and forced to pay heavy fines; not wntmquetiily (hey have been fired on; and it is s 01? prjetico to import bodies (torn Chicago. Onto Inst week we recorded a case in point. The present is cveaßtore startling. . „ Three student*. *M4* totoes »to.shall for the present ociuccal—«oa»e from Alabama aad taro from Tcnneaator n*»lved to aupply themselves with a sflbjecf, and obtaining information of the sudden death of an liTshmaa/ktely released (rate toe Indiana Stale Prison, who had just befcu interred Ijo ah old field outside of New 'Albany by faunie charitablo jversonh in whose faonao bo had died, they arranged tat n nocturnal oxen prion. ’ ,^11 ’ .Tile plan was simple. They bad onto to procure a boat, cross the river, proceed to the deßgualedyiace of burial, oxhumethe body, wrap it in a blanked, aad oonvey it to the dissecting room. They provided themselves mattocks and spades, secured a good yawl, and just after twelve o’clock set. from a pointn.*r the ferry, rcachiog theopposite shore in safety.

They were idl armed, of course, and ycre agreed to (Aake a fight if molested. Fortune scented to favor them. They were not obaervod ns they sj>ed a crons the sliming Ohio, rippling bright and cluar in the moonshine, and landed in nu obscure nook which they Imdoxplor d in the altsruoon. Thrice they took a by-path around the town, and were soon brought to the lonely, off-cast, uew-mado grave. Daring, as Well as eutorpriso, is a char nc teristio of medical students. One stood on gqord while his two companions (who had learned the art and practico ot digging during the famous campaign from Dalton to Atlanta) set to actively with the spades and very soon they struck the coffin. Having shoveled the dirt away, they placed this rude pine box upon terra firms, and were preparing to take off the lid, when a noise startled them. It was a very dreary {•lace, near a clump of trees, and not far from a brick-kiln, and a cluster of workpeople’s dwellings. The clocks had just struck two; but there was 4 g&i; pf ftpptmehmg fodiafcps beyond the grove, aud u« time was to be lost “Whft shall wp d“?” nnbt (lilwwir 1 ••Knock off the lid.” 1 “No, we haven't time. The noiso will betray us. Tick the tiling up, and let's be off” Hastily the three students lifted the coffin on their shoulders —luckily they were all strapping fellows who had carried many a pc*>r fellow to the rear on a stretcher—and made for the river as fast as possible. Just <l» thev turned tho angle of a hilljlity saw lights in the grove behind them. But they did not stop to reconnoitre or learn whether it was a party in pursuit. They hurried forward over uneven ground and up and down out-of-the-way lanes and alleys, and finally gained their boat, in "•hi’ch they deposited their loathsome burden. “Now for the other side, boys !” “All right! Pull away !” The yawl darted out from land into the channel, and was struggling up stream against the current, which is swift and turbulent at this point. It was the object of our students to land as far up us they could row their boat, and so they turned her head dirootly for the ferry, and were soon tossing among the waves. They were elate 1 with their success. To cross the river, elude defectives and police, secure a (tosh body, (which i* to a medical Student what a nosegay is to a lady, 1 and to find themselves so safely sped on their jonrney back was indeed a triumph. They had not, up to this time, paused for rest or recreation, and had quite neglected a flagon, of brandy which they had provided. This they now recollected.’ It was prfiduced, and lying on their oars they—as they have related to us—drank several toasts. They drank to the University, to their sweethearts, and to poor Pat, who lay unconscious in the coffin, flat on the bottom of the skiff. How it was they could not tell; but suddenly, as if impelled by a strong arm, the boat upset ana its contents were emptied into the river. Horrible!

As the skiff capsized, submerging onr three students for a moment, the coffin lid fell off, and the corpse was rudely, thrown. ’ into the water. The moon, thongh on the wane, waj shining bright uud clear. The waves of the river rising and falling ranged round white and weird as 'ghosts, as they danced from shore to shore. The church spires of the two cities glittered among the stars in the quiet sky. But away below, where tho cold, uncomfortable daylight dawned, fogs were stealing upward, and the houses along the banks showed like a fleet becalmed. This was a vagne outline of the situation as it appeared to our adventurers when their heads came to the surface; hut auother sight quickly arrested .Ihgir,attention., a ppnllingiu -asety-wense: - There before them in au upright position was tho corpse, half clad, as they hadfonnd it in the coffin, supported by the boat, over which, it being turned upside down, an arm was thrown, while from the side of she body a little stream of blood peeled off. The face was livid and stark. The eyes were wide open. The teeth seemed to chatter: and so it moved away with the current, a thing of life, yet dead; u corpse, yet floating with the stream, as erect as a human being! Our students were confounded. They were brave and hardy fellows, who had seen deAth on the battle-field and faced dead bodies in dissecting rooms.— But this was horrible! It floated away with their boat and they dared not pursue it; it floated away as if an angiy spirit possessed it, as if it took a grim, sardonic pleasure in their discomfiture. They turned their faces away from the ghastly sight and toward the Kentucky 6nore. It was not far distant and they * reached it uurnb and dazed, but perfectly sober. They then turned again to the stream; and the corps, dinging to the bottom of the boat, passed off into the mist and out of sight, still rigid and erect.

A SramrAL Pebfoenek Citohi'. —C. W. Jackson, who claims to be a spiritual medium, has created quite a sensation in St. Lonis in the • tyiug-up business. He was challenged to an exhibition ,of hie skill by Hartz, tbe magician, and On his first trial succeeded in freeing himself from bis bonds in a few moments, to tbe great delight of the spiritualists of that city. On Friday night last 'the trial was repeated, when the gentleman selected to tie him insisted upon searching him before commencing operations. They found a sharp penknife concealed in one shoe and a coil of rope wound round big body. Hie trick consisted (imply i» being tied with a rope similar to the one he had concealed, and then when confined in his “cabinet” cutting tbe one with which ho was tied and secreting the pieces, and substituting for it tbe one he had concealed on his body, which he exhibited to ius.andienoe aa having been Untied by spirits! When the knife and oord were taken from him the spirits failed to respond to his invocations, and he was released from his “cabinet” bound as securely an when be went in. 4. _ t. iJS: Boned TpsEEV. —This is a favorite dish at evspmg parties and may be Urns prepared: Boil a tufkey in as littje water as may be, until the bones can be easily separated from the meet.

Curious Jewish Customs— Marrying and Dying in the East.

A Boston boy who was with Farragut wrote to the Commonwealth, of Bostoß, from Smyrna as follows; When a Jew is married it is customary for him to “keop his wedding,” as it is called, for eight days. During the time he keeps an open house, and all the friends, and strangers as well, call to pay their respects to the couple. Dancing and different games are carried on all the time.— When we were there they were expecting some friends in to dance. (It was about half-past three in the afternoon.) They said that there had been friends there and dancing going on the previous night, and till eight o’clock iu the morning. The same performances are gone through from day to day for a week. Anybody and every body calls in. Let me describe the place we went into, not saying anything abont tho people. There werljlwo rooms thrown open to the public—the principal ones in the house; the first one contained a divan about four anil a half or five feet wide, and one or two chairs; and upon this divan wore some men eugnged in a game of backgammon. In the other room was a divan about half us wide, running around two sides of it, and upon this were seated the bride and several visitors. Tiie rooms were all very plainly furnished, and had one or two pictures on the walls. The hnsband was a tall nnd heavy man, with monsiache and beard, and without any of the Jew look about him. He wus dressed in common citizen clotheß and received us in his

shirtsleeves and flawing vast He requested ns, if wo felt auyways warm or uncomfortable, to take off our uuiform coals. Tho bride received us very composedly, without a nod or a wink. She was the best looking lady by far in the room—good looking, but not handsome; her-features were regular and fresh, out She had high cheekbones. The Jewish females cannot wear a head-dress till after they are married, so that it is always very easily told who the married females ore. The top of her head was covered with a piece of blue silk which went around tho back of her head and came up over her forehead, almost,’cQYer"lng'up her ears. It did not ccme down on the forehead, but passed just over the top of it Then there was a small white band around her head, and this was Burrounded by a small bead coronet Her hair was as black as jet, and very little of it could be seen. She wore a bombazine chess, cut so as to fit close nrouud the shoulders, but low in the neck, according to the custom of their soct here. Then she wore a zouave jacket, with bloomer pantaloons and a long skirt. This is the same costume as that in which they all dress. It is the custom of the Jewish ladies to paint the ends of their fingers brown during their wedding. This fives a very bad appearance to the hands. 'hey gave us all a glass of cool lemonade, and all the smokers indulged in cigarettes. The host, who was able to speak English, talked freely to us of the Jewish customs. It is one of the customs of the Jews, when they get old, to bo to Jerusalem to die,' for they believe they will then go to heaven. So when people get old they get some of their relations to carry them there. These Jews live to a ripe old age, and. from what I have heard, I should think it was not anoomiuon for them to attain the age of 100 years. One man, who is now 54 years old, told me that his father died at 114 years of age; and that lately he had carried his mother to Jerusalem to die, who is now 90 years old. Last week an okl lady 110 years of age' returned to Jerusalem to die.

Leaders of the Cuban Insurrection.— The Evening Post gives an account of the leaders of the Cuban insurreetiqD. The Commander-in-Chief, Don Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, is a lawyer, a sugar planter, and a large landowner. He is worth $700,000 in Baynmo. He is a man of middle height, broad forehead, bright eyes, and abont 48 years of age. The calibre of Cespedes will be seen in this little anecdote. In discussing the plan of the campaign one of the commanding Generals said: “Gentlemen; we must state how we shall retire in case of defeat.” Whereupon Cespedes Arose and said ; “A people conscious of its rights, and resolving to conquer its independence, docs not retire from thA field, We mast conquer or die. Cortes burned his vessels: we Cubans will cut off all our ways of retreat” Hu Puerto Princije every able-bodied man is under anus. It is also stated that npt tbe Cubans only, 'but the Porto Rican* are ready for revolt and freedom. In Porto Rico the leader is Dr. R. E. Betances, a man about 48 years old. Among the 2,000 prisoners now in the Spanish jails are some of the first men in •the island, physicians, lawyers, priests, prqfessors, ;wealthy planters, and merA clerk in a New York mercantile esthbhshment relates a colloquy from which a sprightly youth in the Mine store came out second best. A poor boy came along With his machine. inquiring: “Any knives to grind?” “Don't think we have,” replied the voting gentleman, facetiously; “but, can you sharp-' on wits?” “Yes, if yon'vc got anv,” was the prompt response, leaving the interrogator at a lorn to produce the article.

FAMT, AND HVCSKHOLtf? Tli* linhi'tire of Beet Sugar*- The L Method of Extracting thf Jake fpmn Beets. P. Sidney Post, U- fi. Consul at Yionno, lutMopwardeil here a valuable report, show inghoW the manufacture of beet-rooUacar hint 'prespered in Austria, where llie last annual yield is estimated to have been' worth nearly SIS,tKKI,OOO. This success Mr. Post attributes to u now pxocofcJviitventcd"J>Tnn Austrian' naiflei rniliinT Rob-1 ort, which i» very different from the old method of obtaining the juice in cane or beet-root by grinding or maceration. Mr. Post thus dehcribci. it: “Mr. Roberts’ diffusion process does not aim at obtaining the juico contained in the cells of the cane or licet roots, but to exirnct only the crystalline sugar contained in that juice, and to leave whatever elhe it contains in the cells. To accomplish' thm purpose the sugar osne or roots arc’cut into small slices and put into n number of vats, which are connected by pipes running from tho bottom of due vat to the top of the next succeeding. Water of a ccrtuiu temperature, aud of a quantity proportioned to the weight bf the cane dr beet roots in the vats, is mixed with the material iu tho first vat, and ullowuff to remain until it takes up a portion of* saccharine matter,

or,' so to speak, until the augur in the vnt is equalized between Uie water and the cuilC or beet root. That is to say, if tho beet root contains eight per cent, of saccharine mutter, the. Matter will take up four per cent. This water is tU-:n forced liy hydraulic pressure into the second vapfl'tlcd with tho beets. It ulreutly contains 4 per cent, of augur, bnt the beets having 8 per cent., it will again equalize .itself, anil when forced into Ltic third vat will contain (! per cent, of saccharine matter. In this way tho water becomes more and tnoie impregnated with saccharine matter, until it contains nlrnost us much as the beet itself. To return to the first vat we find that the first application of water extracted one-half, or 4 per cent, of the sugnr. When this water was forced into the second vat tho fresh water which forced it out and supplied its place extracted 2 per ccut. more before the sacharinc matter liecanre equal izeil between the water and tho beets. This water is then’forced into tho seedb’d vat, and the fresh water which supplies its placo finds the beets containing but twp„ per caut of saccharine matter, aud the next fllling fmds Vittonc per yent. aml in. 'fKlswaytiie sugar is extracted to within one-half per cent. It is said tlmt hv tlii„ ■ "ptbecss me raw material is much purer than when extracted by any other method, and that from tlih saiue beets one-half per cent, more crystal sugar is obtained than by the application of pressure. The expenses for cloth and the cleaning aud renewihg it arc eutirely ’ done away— The expenses for motive power aud machinery are considerably reduced, and the expense of manual labor is much less, requiring bnt one quarter of the number of laborers necessary for the pressing purpose. That this process is really the great improvement claimed no longer admits of dispute. Mr. Robert has thoroughly tested it in his factory, and has adopted it, as also six other factories, two in Austria, two in Prussia, one iu Russia and 011 c in Bavaria.” The machinery used in this method of making beetroot sugar is very expensive, but it is believed that if tho experiment could be once fairly tried it would add an important and valuable branch of industry to our agricultural interest.

Sort them or Sell by Weight. One of the Yankee ancestors employed a wood chopper to ply his vocation. At the expiration of the time for Which he had been engaged, the employer was astonished at • the great number of cords of wood fiis employe had been able to put up iu so short a time. A close examination, how. ever, revealed the secret. The cute wood chopper had piled all the large sticks by themselves, while the round sticks .from the branches of the trees, constituted other piles, scarcely less numerous. The joke was received without a murmur, but was returned with interest by the employer, who was to pay for his work in the yield of his potato field. All tho small potatoes were carefully taken out and measured separately from the large ones. The bushels were thus swelled the extra cords of wood, and the game was considered even. This was not exactly making “two blades of grass grow where one grew before,’and it is doubtful, therefore, if the jokers could be considered benefactors of their race. Neither practice evinces, perhaps, any too much honesty, but they may serve to furnish adrint that will lead to justice in potato skies. Potatoes should always be sold by weight, not by measure. But if the purchaser insists on the heepod half bushel, it is best to even the matter by assorting the potatoes, instead of selling the little and big together. —Prairie Farmer. Gripes about Rocks.— The .American Journal of. Horticulture says; The past season was a very peculiar one —wet and cold—and the grapes iu many localities in the East laded to ripen. WSile this was generally true, it was rather refreshing to observe at one of onr horticultural exhibitions splendid specimens of a well known variety, apparently folly ripe, which we found ouinquiry had been grown near a ledge of rocks. Some years ago we visited a placo where we observed similar results from a similar cause. The whole seoret of the thing is, that tho rocks absorb the heat of the sun by day, and give it oft’ at night; keeping the roots of the vine warm, and the temperature about it more fully equalized. Onr attention was once attracted to this same subject by observing that the melon vines in a hill around which some stones had been placed wero much larger at the end of a few weeks than those in tho hills that had not been so treated. The same principle is observed in cities, where, grape vines are trained in front of brick walls, which absorb the heat by day, and reflect it when niost needed by the vine. We propose to test more fully the value ofsnch treatment for the vine, by placing stones about the roots of several bearing vines in different parts of the vineyard where they failed this year to ripen a single grape.

Morality and Agriculture.— George William Curtis delivered wn address at •Greenfield, Mass., the otner day. We, quote the following: The necessities and 'fatigues of a work that can only be done by daylight call the farmer with the sun iu summer and the morning star in winter, send,, him early to bed and teach him regularity. Then, as by his ceaseless toil he counts out, in the blows of his arms and drops of his sweat, every hundred cents in every dollar he earns—every penny stands for so innch time and muscle, and thus he learns economy. With economy c mao frugality and temperance, and so . upon the farm grow the hardy virtues like tough trees upon the mountain side, 1 and so the ideal farmer is tho strong, robust, simplci, sensible, truly conservative citizen, amt; as the spectator sees him stand- crowned with content iD the midst of his rural realm, ho asks a* the poor clergyman Asked hisricher brother ns they walked through the rich minister’s magnificent estate: “What, Brother Dives, all this and Heaven too ?” Planting Youno Trees afteb Old- —A committee of the Alton (III) Horticultural Society say that in passing through the extensive orclgurds of Mr Flagg, they were shown several hundred young apple trees that had been planted in tbe same holes from which old ones had been grubbed up The young trees, for vigor of growth and healthfulness of foliage, were equal to any grown npqn new land, a fact worthy of note, as disproving the theory advanced by all horticultural writers, that fruit trees wjll not thrive upon the site of an old orohard. All the preparation the soil bad was the burning:of the old trees in the holes. Mr. Flagg attributes his success as much to the heat os to the ashes left —.-Sr'-:—' .vt . . • A*.

Scotch Treatment of Cotuunt Worms. —Tho currant caterpillar was doubtless introduced into this country team Great Britain, through the Vedinrii of 'imported unrs«ry stock. In that country it has long been destructive to gooseberry and cniTant bushes, nevertheless, lino and uniform crops of these fruits are grown there. In speaking of the pent during the -past season, the Scottish Farmer says: ‘•Hellebore powder, lime and soot have also been applied; but nothing so effectually destroys the vermin as soot, which is, independently tho cheapest cure and the most ceitain preventive. When dusted on tho bushes, after a slight shower has fallen, or after the leaves lmvo been wetted,, tho vermin will soon drop off the leaves and perish. The application of a sprinkling of. dry soot around the rotds of boshes, when early dig'-pug operations nru being proceeded with m spring, will act most successfully in preventing their appearance; and this, resorted to in.succcxaive seasons, will entirely extirpate.the pests ” A New Ffuttuzeh roit GiurßSJ—’r&e California Farmer says: “Home two years since we spoke, 'of a system practiced by some scientific .growers, cf enriching their vineyards by cutting into small bits the spring pruning* and plowing in the same; •'thus returning the needed material for manuring the vine. Wo have soen this experiment cnrefully and successfully tried, and have seen its good results, whic h is tho keeping of the soil light and porous, and giving to the vineyard jiJt]jAl«SoJUttq,-look -aud heavy "crop. Wenopo those Vine growers that have been iiLtiia liahit of bnriiinir up llndr: grape wood, or carting it oil, will herenfter chop up the wood finely, and plow it deeply, and they will find their vineyards very greatly benefited thereby." Tnr Barrett Farm in Concord, recently sold by auction, is memorablo (says the Springfield Republican) as one of those whereon George W. Cnrtis and his,brother Burrill, now a clergyman in England, worked as “hired hands” in the Arcadian days following the Brook Farm experiment. Capt. Nathan BiUTctt, who then occupied the farm, gave them employment for some months, and they put in practice ..on his upland and meadow, the lessons in agriculture they had begun to loam at West Roxbury, driving hi r team, planting his corn and making his hay. It is tho largestfarmin the town, containing, with its “oatlauds,” more-tban five hundred acres, some portion of wnieh has been in the Barrett family for many generations. It lies beyond and above the “old manse," and its extensive pastures were favorite walking grounds of the Concord philosophers. Cft.i.irs for Vf.oetabi.es. —The storing of fruits and yegetubles in a house cellar in large quantities, is always objectionable.— The tempemturo- is m-cessarily increased by the tires kept up in the house during winter, and ibis favors decay, or commencement of growth in vegetables. Besides, gaseous substances of an unpleasant odor usually pervade the dwelling, which are injurious to health. Serious illness frequently arises from these well stocked cellars. A safer plan is to have the cellar store-room by itself. The best location is on a sandy or gravelly hill-side, that needs no drainage in the wettest season. If not dry, it must be made so by artificial means. One halt tho depth of tho cellar may be below tho surface. Rascality towaf.d Horses. —lt is, perhaps, not very strange that the food of horses should be adulterated, since almost everything that goes into the stomach of man, that is susceptible of corruption, undergoes aduUeratj_rab__A»-exchange says: “A Washington veterinary surgeon recently took from a horse (while the animal was under tho influence of ether) a ball about the size and color of a teh-pounder, perfectly solid, and weighing two pounds and four ounces, composed of collections of plaster of Paris, that had been taken into the stomach from time to time in the swill feed which the horse had eaten, the plaster having been ground with the food, m order to give it a rich, nutritions appearance. It is stated that this practice of grinding plaster with horse food has been very much resorted to.”

Veal Omelet. —Take four pounds of lean veal and one and a half of fat Balt pork; chop them very fine, or run them through a sausage add one tablespoonful of salt, one of black popper, two of sage or summer savory, I'oUr tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs or pulverized crackers, four eggs, and two gills of sweet cream; mix eggs, cream and bread (or crackers) together, then add the other ingredients; bake in a deep pan three to lour hours; put on the top small bits of butter before cooking; when done, turn it out on a platter and cut jf in slices as you would head cheese. It will keep for several days. Cueing Poll-Evil. —James Seafield, of Fairfield, Maryland, tells how he cured poll-evil, as follows: I laid open the swelling with a kirtfe and forced it to run; alter it had run twentyfour hours L washed out the incision with soap and water and sprinkled quick lime into the cavity. This process of washing out and liming I repeated every twentyfour hours .’or about two weeks, at the end of which time the swelling had gone down, and the sore healed oyer. This I did two years ago this present month, and there is no sign of the return of the poll-evil. Buckwheat Cakes. —Everybody knows prettj’ well how to bake buckwheat cakes. Still there may be hints given which facilitate the business or improve the mode in some degree. To avoid the steam or smell of grease in the common mode of baking, soapstone griddle have been introduced in many places; but we see that iron griddles, first washed with a strong suds, and then scoured with dry sand, will render greasing wholly unnecessary if rubbed with salt previously to the baking of each cake. A trial, our authority says, -will make all qdopt it in preference to the old mode oi greasing and steaming. Houses, ns a general thing, get too much licking and too little feed- If a nian losca hie hat while driving his horse, he licks the horse to pay for it. If he runs into another wagon through liis own carelessness, he fickk his horae to make it ail right If he slips or stumbles; he gets licked for it; if he does anything ho gets licked, and if he don’t do anything he gets tho same. A .great many horses know n “sight” than their drivnrs. and if they could change places with themTß3ciety,nt large would bo the gainers, Hiid so would tho horses.-*-Rochester biitojt: "' A Nice Sauce.—Pare and quarter nicely half a bushel of sweet apples; also one dozen quinces, or less if yon choose; steam them until you can pierce them with a straw; then take .eight pounds of loaf sugar, and add to: it the water Over which your apples are steamed; let it- scald up, then add the fruit and'let it remain in until it looks transparent.
