Annual Army Reports.

Washington. Nov. 9. OEN. SHERMAN. Gett. Sherman’s annual report to the Secretary of War shows the total number of enlisted men in the army on Oct. 15 to have been 26,441. It estimates that this numbee will probably be reduced through natural causes by the Ist of January, 1875, to the 25,000 allowed by law. It deprecates the inadequacy of so small an army for the demands of so large an area of territory as it has to be scattered over, involving the necessity of withdrawing troops from one department to meet the requirements of others a long distance away. It compliments the high efficiency of Gen, Sheridan and his subordinate officers in maintaining comparative peace in the Indian country. I t say s’the reports of the commanding officers defhonstrate that the small army of the United States, called a peace establishment, is the hardest-worked body of men in this or any country. The discipline and behavior of the officers and men have been worthy of all praise; and whether employed on the extreme and distant frontier, or in aiding civil officers on the execution~of~ civil pfdcessesThave been a model for the imitation of all good men. In regard to the removal of his headquarters to St. Louis he says: “I am prepared to execute the duties that maybe devolved on me by proper authority. Here I am centrally located, and should occasion arise I can personally proceed to any point on this continent where my services are needed.” . GEN. SHERIDAN. Lieut.-Gen. Sheridan, in his annual report, touches slightly- upon Gen. Custer’s Black Hills expedition, which it pronounces a successful reconnois sance. The country of the Black Hills was found to be much better than was expected,-with plenty of good timber and considerable good soil at high altitudes and an abundant supply of good water and grass,. Some gold was found near Harney’s Peak, but of its abundance there is at present no reliable information. Sufficient time could not be given by an expedition such as that of Gen. Custer’s to prospect and determine its quantity. Gen. Sheridan again recommends the establishment of a large military post in the Black Hill country. Of the Indian troubles Gen. Sheridan says: “I respectfully differ with Gen. Pope as to the chief cause of these Indian troubles, and attribute it to the immunity with which the tribes have been treated. In all their raids into Texas for the past three years their reservations have furnished them the supplies' with which to make the raids and sheltered them from pursuit when they returned with their scalps and plunder. No man of close observation, _it seems-to ine, can travel across the great plains and Wyoming to Texas, and see the established ranches, with their hundreds of thousands of head of cattle, sheep and horses, togetherw-ith the families of the owners, and reasonably think that these people, so much exposed andhavingsuch valuable interests, are desirous of provoking Indian wars’ There was a time, possibly, when the population of the Indian frontier mayhave been desirous of Indian troubles, but that has passed long ago.”

Battling With Masked Rebbers.

SOn last Friday evening, about eight o’clock, three men called at the farmhouse of Miss Hoover, near Donegal Springs, and asked permission to sleep in Hie barn. It was granted, and just while the family, which consisted of Miss Hoover, an old man named Bishop, a boy about eighteen years old, and a girl of the same age, were preparing to retire for the night, the men returned to the house and demanded something Ed eat. Suspicion was at once aroused in the minds of the occupants of the house that all was not right. Mr. Bishop passed the food out through, a window, when one of the men—all of whom were now masked —knocked the dish from his hands and leaped through the window into the house, followed by the others. Here a struggle began. In the fight Miss Hoover was knocked down by a blow from one of the ruffians, which sent her reeling under a table. She soou recovered, however, and tore the mask from the face of one of them. Mr. Bishop was knocked down twice, but, being a very stout man, fought manfully, deal--ing.heavy blows on their heads with a smoothing-iron. While the fight was going on . the girl ran up-stairs, locked herself in a room, a’nd blew a horn from the window. This brought the neighbors, but before the assistance came the scoundrels had made their escape. The boy* is severely cut abo&b th,c eyes and head. Miss Hoover is an old lady, and is supposed to have a large amount of money. Bishop, being a brave man, prevented her being robbed and perhaps murdered. The kitchen and dining-room were literally covered with blood from the fray.— Lancaster (Pa.) Express. .' •*'-

Ivy Poison.

A subscriber to the Register, an intelligent gentleman over eighty years of age, tells us that everybody ought to Jinow a sure and yet a simple cute for persons poisoned with wild ivy; So many people are poisoned annually by the wild ivy vines which grow profusely in our woods and fence rows in lowa that this asserted remedy will be exceedingly useful information to the public. The threeleafed ivy is the poisonous ivy, and the fire-leafed ivy is its antidote. It is asserted that these two vines never grow a stone's throw apart —“ a wise and kindly provision of nature” —and they are frequently seen growing on the same stump and twisting together up. the same tree. When poisoned with the three-leaved vine the bruised leaves of the five-leafed saturated with water or chewed with the teeth and moistened in the mouth will effect almost an immediate cure. If the poison has had a day or two’s start, the leaves will have to be “ steeped” in hot water, but will accomplish the cure in two or three days. Two or three persons on Mr. Settlemeyer’s farm, near Des Moines, who have been severely poisoned the present fall in this way have been cured in this manner. If true this is certainly worth knowing. The three-leaved and the fiveleaved, ivy look very much alike, although the former is generally a ranker and richer green in color. But they can be easily and certainly distinguished by one always having three leaves on the stem ana the other having five. This item will be a good thing to cut out and save for next year.— lowa State Register.

Can it be Tree?—Within the last few months a considerable number of persons have called upon Dr. Walker, the proprietor of the popular medicine knotVn as Vinegar Bitters, and assured him that, in their belief, his preparation i s an infallible antidote for rum and tobacco. The minute details which have been furnished him forbid him to doubt the accuracy of the statements. This new claim of a great remedy to the confidence of the public will give a vast and well-deserved impulse to its popularity. Heretofore the Bitters have been recognized as a pure vegetable tonic and corrective, devoid of alcohol, and thoroughly adapted to the cure of stomach and bowel complaints, nervous disorders, bilious affections, muscular diseases, and indeed a majority oi the ailments within the reach of medicine; but if it will also cure the craving for liquor and tobacco, philosophers, statesmen and theologians ought to unite their voices in its praise.
