He has been especially noted for his diligence, attention and good judgment, as well as for his prudence, caution and skill, and was never led away by wild or visionary theoiics. His remarkable success in the treatment of ,ho diseases of women and children, and in combating the various epidemics occurring during the early settlement of this county, makes the name of Dr. Long as familiar as household words in the families of old settlers of North Putnam. Dr. Long belonged to a medical family, as three of his brothers in Kentucky were physicians, and he has a son and two sons-in-law and two nephews of the same profession, (one of whom is a namesake and a professor in one of the medical colleges of Louisville, Ky.)

late Major Evans, once Auditor ol State. She was a lady of fine family, sterling virtues, worthy to he tho wife of so eminent a husband, and deserving the honors paid her and the high esteem in

which she was universally held. Her maiden name was Sarah A. Evans.

She was born near Cynthiana. Ky., August 1, 1823. Sho was fourteen years old when Iter father moved to Indiana. On the 15th day of March, 15, 1845, she was married to G. 11. Voss, whose life unt’l the day of her death, she made a happy one. Of this uriion, five children were born, four of whom survive her. Not only as a wife and mother, but as a Christian she evinced superior strength; her fidelity to the church, tho Christian denomination ol whicn she was a member, having been remarkable from her earliest womanhood. In the early days of the State, when the church privileges were not as they are to-day, her house was the home of the ministry. Her husband, a member of the same church,was in full sympathy. A gentleman writes of her: “She was peculiarly a domestic woman. Her delight was in her home. But few persons ever equaled her in the sick house—her devotion and skill were never surpassed.” One who has known her for many years remarked, upon learning of her dangerous illness, “She is one of a very few against whom no harmful word was ever said.” [She war. rich in those virtues that in woman makes Heaven’s best gift to man.

In the ashes were found the dead bodies of these throe children, an<l also of David Fry, a drunken cigarmaker, who lived most of the time with Mrs. Smith. The 'alter was at a dance when her house burned down, and it is supposed that Fry entered the house in a state of drunkenness, and accidentally upset a lamp, causing the fire.

In the backwoods of Presque Isle County, Wisonsin, is a town that has just elected its first Justice of the Peace. Like the rest of the residents, he is a rough lumberman. The first case brought before him was that of an assault committed by a notorious brawler. The Justice had no difficulty in pronouncing him guilty, hut how to punish him was a harder question, for he had no money with which to pay a lino, and there was no jail in which to imprison him. After mature thought the magistrate said; ‘The complainant’s got to pay mo two dollars costs. 1 sentence tho prisoner to he whipped, and, as a peace officer, I’m going to do tho punishing myself.” iThen he rolled up his sleeves and thrashed the culprit.

(Science for All.J

In cutting, or rather rubbing tho dia. mond into shape, nnd in ]»dishing tho cut stone no abrading agent can be used except the diamond itself, it is tin'supreme hardness that gives much of the value to diamonds; for tho roughest wear scarcely destroys the sharpness of the cut edges or deadens its polish. The exceptional hardness of the diamond is well known, and gives point to the ex* pression, “diamond cut diamond;” but the popular notion often credits this gem with an indomitable nature which it can

scarcely claim.

Among the many extravagant tilings which 1’liny tells us is his remark that certain diamonds have such excessive hardness that when struck upon an iron anvil the hammer and anvil are torn asunder. Yet lie coolly asserts that such stones can he subdued by digestion in goat’s blood, provided that the curious solvent he fresh and warm. Without going to thisheight of extrvaganee, many believe, even now-a-days, that a true diamond will resist the blow of a hammer. This ixipuliir error arises from confronting hardness with toughness— two physical properties which are entirely distinct. A piece of gutta-percha, for example, is so tough that it is torn asunder with difficulty, yet so soft that it may he indented with the finger nail. On the other hand the diamond is so liard that no other substance is capable of scratching it, yet so brittle that the “Regent” itself might be shattered into fragmentaby dropping it on the ground from the height of only a few’ feet. A minister’s life has frequent disappointments. During the great revival, a stolid, mattcr-of-fact farmer went into the inquiry room, and was at once taken in hand by anxious and zealous worker-. He seemed to Ik 1 visibly affected by the hymn that was sung, and after prayer, one or two tears were apparently discovered. When asked, “Brother, do you feel any change?” he made a rapid and instinctive movement of his hand in the direction of his vest pocket, and then settling hack in his chair, with a sigh, replied. “Not a cent; that's just w hat I’m

after.”

A 1 .iIm* lYfoafttiror. W. H. II. Barton, of Yarmouth, Maw., his invented a machine which he ealls a pulse metre, as it is operated by the pulse. This machine which lias taken him four years to make, when placed on the wrist, records tho pulse. At every beat a hand advances one degree over a dial, thus recording the number of beats. Another hand sweeps oter a graduated scale, which shows tnc fotce or intensity of the pulse. More remarkable still, a hammer is made to strike a bell and give forth a clear and distinct sound, thus making the human pulse audible as well as visible.
