Curb of 'Flatttlbnoy. A writer in
the English Mechanic,- in treating of the
not unimportant subject of flatulency,
says that of this there are two kinds.
In health the stomach.. and intestines
always contain a moderate quantity of
gas that is nearly pure nitrogen. " Jhis
appears to be secreted by the mucous
membrane of the stomach and intestine,
and, in excessive amount, is one of the
most troublesome kinds of flatulence.
The other kind arises from fermentation
or putrefactive change of the food, and
contains carbonic acid,and sometimes sul
phurated hydrogen, as well as nitrogen.
Both these forms of flatulence are best
treated by using pure vegetable charcoal
finely powdered taken in the first case
with oach-meal, and in Jbsjr second-. ar
soon as the symptoms appear; xne aose
may be a teaspoonful, and its use should
be continued for some time. This will

because more can be digested than when
it must all be reduced by a slow prosess
in the gizzard. . The latter is a perfect
mill, but if employed too much the mus
cular x)ruon 01 working it takes some
thing from the rate of fattening. The
corn-meal should, for a few days, be
thoroughly cooked, but the mess will

and they should be induced to eat as
mucn as possiDie. iney also use va
riety; give an occasional feed of " buck
wheat corn, and wheat whole, and oats,
which last should be ground and screened,
so as to remove all the larger fragments
of the hulls. Bqiled potatoes and fresh
cooked meat should be allowed sparingly,
and every other day a little cayenne and
salt must be added to the dough. Feed
adOlt poultry, for fattening, three times
a day and chickens four. - It is especial
ly necessary, when the days are short, to
give the first food at the appearance of
light, and the last as late as possible.
After they have eaten to satiety, always
remove what is left. X eed at stated
hours, and always keep the feedins-
trough clean and sweet.' It is best to con
fine grown fowls in rather sm all coops, as
exercise prevents fattening, if, however,
individuals acquainted with each other are
together, there is no gain in close quar
ters, for they become uneasy ; and also
half-grown chickens ought not to be shut
up, but rather induced to eat so much
that they will roam as little as possible;
for if taken from their accustomed run
they are apt to worry constantly. Shut
out light from the coop, excepting at
feeding time, to promote quietness,
There should be no perches." Cover the

v ' Mysterious -Murder Confession.
The Erie Dispatch states that one John
O'Connor, recently hung in Buffalo for
a murder perpetrated there, confessed to
another murder, jO'Conuor ,xas for a
nurnber 'of 'years'' a' resident 'of "fMe
County. He nsed to travel xwith the
circuses, but latterly was employed as a
farm .laborer, - He was married and lived
at West Gmtrd. O'Connpr and Pierce
were both feared by their neighbors.
Last FaQ, Pierce's wife died; and then
there was a circumstance that ..excited
the suspicions of many. She appeared
to be in great mental distress, and when
she knew death was approaching, she said
she ooukl not die without relieving her
f mind . of a terrible thing. . .Pierce stood
over her and prevented ner from telling
what it was, and so she died with the
secret unrevealed. . j b - ,
After her burial Pierce went away and
has not been; seen about there since.
John O'Connor's confession revealed the
secret, though ft did not reveal the vic
tim. He said. that Pierce and himself
had murdered a stranger between Fair-
view and Crirard, and disposed of the
body. . -No one knew who be was and
there never was any inquiry after him
but Pierce's wife had learned of the
facts, and wanted to reveal them. Pierce
has not been heard of since his wife's
death, but it is rumored that he went to
Canada. -

The Comnlalht of the tTnItltfal f
In the course of 'the long discussions
between the United States and English
governments, which " followed the close !
of the insurrection, it became the duty
of Mr. Adams acting for his government y
to make a summary of the points which
he maintained had been established by
the United States. - This he did in the
following language, addressed to Earl
Kussell : ' $ u
It was my wish to maintain 1. That
the act of recognition by her Majesty's
government of insurgents as belligerents
on the high seas before they had a single
vessel afloat was precipitate and unpre
cedented.
2. That it had the effect of creating
these parties beligerents after the recog
nition, instead of merely acknowledging
an existing fact.
3. That this creation has been since
effected exclusively from the ports of her
Majesty's kingdom and its dependencies,
with the aid and co-operation of her
Majesty's subjects.
4k. lhat during the whole course of the
struggle in America, of nearly four years
in duration, there has been no appear
ance of the insurgents as a belligerent
on the ocean excepting in the shape of
British vessels, constructed, equipped,
supplied, manned, and armed in the
British ports.
5. That during the same period it has
been the constant and persistent endeavor
of my government to remonstrate m
every possible form against the ajtmse of
the neutrality of this kingdom, and to
call upon ner Majesty s government to
exercise the necessary powers to put an
enective stop to it.
b. That although the desire of her
Majesty's ministers to exert themselves
in the suppression of these abuses is
freely acknowledged, the efforts which
they made proved powerless, from the
inefficiency of the law on which they re
lied, and from their absolute refusal
when solicited, to procure additional
powers to attain the objects.
7. That, by reason of the failure to
check this flagrant abuse of neutrality,
theissue from British ports of a number
of British vessels, with the aid pf the
recognition of their belligerent character
in all the ports oi her Majesty's idepen-i
dencies around the globe, -has resulted
in the burning and destroying on the
ocean pf a large number of . merchant
vessels, and a very large . amount of
property belonging to the people of the
United States.
8. That, in addition to this direct in
jury, the action of the indirect effect of
driving from the sea a large portion of
the commercial marine of the United
States, and to a corresponding extent
enlarging that of Great Britain, thus
enabling one portion oi iue j&nnsn
, 1 1.? At I", T
people to derive an unjust advantage
from the wrong committed on a friendly
nation by another portion.
9. That the injuries thus received by a
oountry which has meanwhile sedulously
endeavored to perform all its obligations,
owing to the imperfection of the legal
means at hand to prevent them, as well as
the unwuunsrness to seek for more stnn
gent powers, are of so grave a nature as
in reason and justice to constitute i
valid claim for reparation and indemni
fication.

considerably from his practice of relat

origin only in his imagination. About
five years since he stole a horse and

informed them that a plan had been set
on foot to rob' their store, and he offer
ed, in consideration of a sum of money
being paid him, to give information that
would secure the robbers. As request
ed, he " called again," and was turned
over into the custody of an officer, and
an effort was made to .send him to prison
as a vagrant, but he proved too " wise,
and the authorities were reluctantly com

on condition that he should be released
and he went. A week or so ago he turn

an extraordinary sized duck's egg. He
says he " recently found one of his ducks
dead - upon her nest. She had been ail

inches in its greatsst circumference, 153
inches at the smallest circumference, and
its capacity is 2 pints of water. It con

A Mxstebious Underground Lake,
There was published some time ago an
account of a lase on the J&xeter estate.

ers who were digging a well there, and
had gone some eighty feet below the sur
face. A descent was made to the lake
recently, and the water was) found
to
have disappeared from the part of it in
to which the well opened, and the place,
from the imperfect light of burning shav

vThe rfatfves commence their prepar
ations by "making out a rectangular piece
of fcrpund J20:feet long by. SO broad, in
an easterly and westerly direction, from
which the soil is romovea ,tq . tne aeptn
of two feet. This excavation ia smooth
ed, and is allowed to remain exposed to
the sun, to dry, when riee straw in small
sheaves is laid in an oblique direction in
the" hoUowV with loose straw upon the
top, to the depth Of a foot and a half,
leaving its surface half a foot below that
of the ground. Numerous beds of this
kind are formed, with narrow pathways
between them, in which large earthen
water-jars are sunk in the ground for
the convenience oi naving water near,
to fill the shallow nnglazed earthen ves
sels in which it is to be frozen. " These
dishes are nine inches in diameter at the
top, diminishing to four and three-tenth
inches at the bottom, one and three-
tenth inches deep, and three-tenths of
an inch in thickness, and are so porous
to become moist throughout when
water is put into them.
.During the day the loose straw in the
beds above the sheaves is occasionally
turned up, so that the whole may be
kept dry, and the water-jars between the
beds are filled with soft pure water from
the neighboring pools. ' Toward evening
the shallow earthen dishes are arranged
in rows upon the straw, and by means of
small earthen pots, tied to the extremities
of long bamboo rods, each is filled about

however, vanes according to me expec
tations of ice which is known by the
clearaess of the sky, and the steadiness
with which the wind blows irom the
noorth-north-west. When favorable,
about eight ounces of water is put into
each dish, and when less is expected,
from two to four unces is the usualJ
quantity ; but in all cases, more water
is put into the dishes nearest the west
ern end of the beds, as the sun first falls
on that part, and the ice is thus more
easily removed, from its solution being
quicker.
There are about 4,590 plates in each of
the beds last made, and if we allow five
euncea, for each, dish, which presents a
atifrrtioiir faf I about : fourl inches I square,
iheretsraibe an:aggt4t &23? gallons,
and surface of 1,530 square feet of water
in each bed. " " 1
In the cold season, when the temper
ature of the air at the ice-fields is under
50 Fahrenheit, and there are gentle
airs from the northern asd western di
rection, ice forms in the course of the
night m - each of the shallow dishes.
Persons are stationed to observe when
a small film appears upon the water in
the dishes, when the. contents of several
are mixed together, and thrown over the
other dishes. This operation increases
the congealing process ; - as a state of
calmness has been discovered by the na
tives to diminish the ' quantity of ice
produced. When the sky is quite clear,
with gentle steady airs from tne nortn-north-west,
which proceed from the hills
of considerable elevation near Bheer
booin, about one hundred miles from
Hooghly, the freezing commences be
fore or about , midnight, and continues J
to advance k until morning, vwhen-i trie
thickest ice is formed. I have seen it
seven-tenths of an inch in thickness,
and in a few very favorable nights the
whole of the water is frozen, when it ia
called by the natives solid ice. When
it commences to congeal between tw o
and three o'clock in the morning, thin
ner ice is exoected, called aper-lce ;
and when about four or five o'clock in
the motning the thinnest is obtained,
called flower-ice.
Upward of 250 persons, of all ages, are
actively employed in securing the ice for
some hours every morning that ice is pro
cured, and this forms one of the most an
imated scenes to be witnessed in Bengal.
In a favorable night upward of ten hun
dred weight of ice will be obtained from,
one bed, and ; from : twenty beds ppward
of ten tons. -
When the wind attains a southerly or
easterly direction, no ice is formed, from
its not being sufficiently dry" ; not eVen
though the temperature of the air be
lower than when it is made with the wind
more fronra northern or western point.
The north-northwest is the most favora
ble direction of wind for making ice, and
this diminishes in power as it approaches'
the due north or west. In the latter case
more latitude is allowed than from the
north-northwest to the north. So great
is the influence of the direction of wind
on the ice, that when it changes in course
of a night from north-northwest to aless
favorable direction, the change not only
prenents the formation of more ice, but
dissolves what may nave Deen lormed.
On such occasions a mist is seen hoveripg
over the ice-beds, from the moisture over
them, and the quantity condensed by the
cold wind. A mist in like manner forms
over deep tanks during favorable nights
for making, ica. 4 y T f r.l .
Another important circumstance in the
production of ice is the amount of wind.
When it approaches a breeze no ice ia
formed. This is explained by such rapid
currents of air removing the cold air, be
fore any accumulation of ice has taken
place in the ice beds. It is for these
reasons that the thickest ice is expected
when during the day a breeze has blown
from the north-west which thoroughly
dries the ground. Nature.
Frozen to ' DeathAT M. Wilcox,
who lias retimed from Plvmonth Coun
ty," Iowa,' says that three residents oril
homesteads in that county started with
a team i or Broken Kettle for wood, but
were over " taken by the storm on the
memorable Saturday morning. . !TwQ of
the men dug their way into a huge snow
drift and remained there, "while the
other man proceeded on his way with"
the team. - The men in the drift remained
there a day and a half before they dared
to venture out, but suffered no material
injury by their long confinement. The
man who kept on his way, together with
the team, was found, a few days after
frozen to death, near Suttin's Home,
fifteen miles above Sioux City. As far
as positively know, eight persons were
frozen to death by tnis storm, withm. a
radius of fifteen miles of this place. The
loss of stock within the same limits has

CoLiiisiON at Sea. The steamship
Colorado, which sailed from Liverpool
for New York, when just outside the
Mersey, was run into with great violence
by the steamer Arabian, inward bound.
The Colorado received severe damages,
and was run ashore to prevent her sink
ing in deep water with all on board.
The Arabian, which was comparatively
uninjued, rescured all the passengers,
of the Colorado, exoept five steerage
passengers, who, it is supposed, jumped
overboard in the panic which followed
the shook of the collision, and were lost.
The passengers were brought back to
Liverpool, where they will be trans
ferred to another steamer. The ' Color
ado grounded off Crosby, at the mouth
of the Mersey, where she lies full ol
water. '

UNITED STATES CONGRESS.
SENATE.
,The Amnesty bill being Mr. Carpen
ter's substitute for Mr. Sumner's supple
mentary Civil Rights bill, after some de
bate, was rejected.
Mr. Sherman, reported adversely on
the bills raising the salaries of clerks in
the Executive department.
. Bills were introduced by Mr. Wilson
(of Mass. ) To establish the pay of en
listed men of the army.
The amendment to Mr. Sumner's Civil
Rights bill being the amendment, ex
cluding churches was adopted.
Mr. Sumner offered a preamble setting
forth the alleged manufacture and sale of
arms and ammunition in the workshops
of the United States gbvernment for the
French, to be used against Germany, in
1870 ; and a resolution for the appoint
ment of a select committee of seven to
investigate all sales of ordnance made by
the government of ,tho United States
during the war between France and Ger
many ; to ascertain the persons to whom
they were made, the real parties in inter
est, and the sums respectively paid and
received by them. The committee is to
have power to send for persons and
papers, and to conduct the examination
in public. '
Mr. Wilson introduced a resolution in
structing the Committee on Foreign Re
lations to consider the expediency of
passing a. loint resolution authorizing the
President to communicate to the govern
ment of Spain the protest of the United
States against the action of the authori
ties of Cuba towards the Chinese laborers
in that island. Adopted.
The motion to reconsider the vote by
which the Chicago Relief bill was passed
was carried 25 to 22.
- J house.
The bill so long pending in the House
to devote the proceeds from the sales of
public lands to educational purposes in
the States was shorn of its centralization
features, restricted principally in its
benefits to the illiterate sections, and
deprived of its mixed-school pystem. In
this shape it goes to the Senate.
Among the bills introduced were the
following :

. TheAlabam Claims f
Tn the English House of Commons, Mr,
Disraeli called the attention of the House
to the paragraph of the Royal speech re
ferring to the Alabama claims. He ad-
imadverted at some length upon the
Treaty of Washington, for the faults of
which he blamed the Foreign Secretary,
Earl Granville, and th-r Premier, Mr,
Gladstone. In view of the develop
ments which had been made by the as
semblage of the arbitrators at Geneva,
Mr." Disraeli wanted to know why the
Government was exultant over the edifi
cation it had given to Parliament on the
subiect. The Koyal speech was signally
unsatisfactory, and showed in his opin
ion that the Government still lacked a
proper appreciation of the gravity of the
question at issue between England and
the United States. The American
claims were greater than those which
wo.uld follow a total conquest they
were preposterous and impractical, and
if admitted would be fatal to the power
and honor of England. . Yet, said Mr.
Disraeli sneeringly, the whole subject is
disDosed of in one brief paragraph of
the Roval speech. Mr. Gladstone in re
ply said the Treaty of Washington itself
shows that England is ready to make
every concession short of national honor
. . i . r -,i i . a . :n.
to estanusn iriemuiy reiuuuiia wim
America, and to set an example to be
followed- by other nations henceforth.
The Government, said the. Premier, is
readv to explain everything m connec
tion with the treaty, but it will not ad
mit that it has unwittingly made a mis
take. The paragraph in the treaty is
the only "fair, and mnmistakable inter
pretation of the treaty. He could, if
he desired, refer to "the preposterous
character of thersAmencau demands,
which of itself! proved iheir absurdity,
for they were such as no people in the
last extremity of war, or in the lowest
deptha -of afyorial; misfortune, with the
spirit of the people oi .ungiana in tneir
heart, wbuld ever submit to. rCheers.l
Mr. Gladstone concluded by saying the
Government would mantain the position
it had t.a&eCfiWi&t&dugh So a friendly
manner.

Pain and its Panacea.
From the Daily Dtnenpori Democrat.
Whilo pain is a condition of human
itv. every effort to ameliorate its inten
sity, or remove the predisposing cause,
mnritn our warmest Gratitude, our careful con
sideration, and its eaccess our frank acknowl
edgment, xnere is a peculiarity uduuii me
sensation called nam which ia of infinite service.
It is a premonition of impending ill, a declara
tion or ivar against the well being of the body
wmcn cannot De removed wnne tne cause exiam
Rflmove the cause, and the effect will cease,
endeavor to cover up the effect, and the cause
will be inteneifted, the anguish temporarily
concealed, break forth again with redoubled
ardor. Manv remedies merely do this, and
after repeated trials, fail to satisfy the condij
tions upon which only can they De userol to
humanity. , Such-medicines have a brief popu
larity, and are retired as unworthy of public
mii-oval. There are others which time tries
but to enhance their value, to endorse and
spread abroad their UBefutiess aud common
numauibv, i lie puuuc, ia a peipobuiu kwwi uj
their extended popularity ana expanaea nines.
Of these, perhaps there are no Buch two nota
ble instances as the Davis Pain Killer and Al
len's Lung Balsam. The pain killer may be
styled the mathematics of medicine, ror it
mver mikca a mistake, its mollifvine influence
pervades the system, and onebial only is
requisite to make it a treasure forever. It does
not merely cover up, it cures. - All the civilized
nations of the earth admit its value, accept its
fame and benefit bv its use. It is no flattery
to compare it to the sovereign balm spoken of
in tne tioiy writ, lor pain mes irom iib pres

Externally, internally and eternally' it proves
Its value Tvnerever tried, 'ine same noma goou
of Allen's Lung Balsam, which, for all com
plaints of the air passages of the lungs, has
nroved itself what It Drofesses to be a positive
BDccific. The western world owes a debt of
frratitnde it can never reoav to T. H. C. Allen
whose instrumentality was the main spring of
the introduction of these medicines. or years
he was the painstaking pioneer of the Pain
Killer and other remedies westward, and the
old man ard matron, the sturdy pioneer and
his courageous helpmeet, now enjoying a proa
parona old age, will testify to the aid and com
fort they received years and years ago from
these medicines, when drug stores were few
ajid doctors far apart. Tjudur providence they
will attribute their green old age, lusty ana
kindly, to their acquaintance with these mix
tores, through the admirable asvebtisiko en-
tebpbise of T. H. C. Allen.

All the Year Round,
And in all parts of the world, the elements of disease ara
present in the air, the soil and the water, in a greater or
less degree, and therefore the Great Vegetable Antidote to
these invisible enemies of health, Hostettar's Btomaoh
Bitters, is invaluable as a household medicine at all sea
sons and In every latitude. At no period of the year is a
regulating and corrective medicino more needed than
toward the close oi winter, when the sub and rain are be
ginning te break np the winter blockade, and from the
softening soil arises that terrible mlsasma, whioh weighs
like an iuoumbus upon the vital machinery, and depress
es the animal spirits. It is then that the seeds of inter
mittent and remittent fevers, of rheumatism tnd rlieu
matio gout, of obstinate stomach complaints, of dis
orders of the liver and bowels, and a wholo host of pul
monary and nervous complaints are sown.
The best, the surest way to prevent this disastrous
teedinij Is to invigorate and refresh the system with a
course of the Bitters. If this precaution ba taken w.
there will be no danger of the misasmatic germa taking
root in the fluid and tissues of the body, and bringing
forth terrible fruit in the spring. Now is the time for
prevention. Remember that vigor is the only safeguard
against the virus of disease, and that Hostetter's Bitters
is the purest, the safest, tbe most powerful and perfeot
invigorant ever administered, either as protective medi
cine or a remedy. A change of season approaches whioh
almost always proves more or less disastrous to persons
of a weak, nervous organisation. Brace up at once with
the leading Tonic of the age. Purge from the blood all
morbid matter, strengthen the nerves, and regulate and
purify the secretions with the Vegetable Elixir, which
oombines the juices of the finest medicinal roots, herbs
and barks, with ths most wholesome of all diflusive
stimulants.

Vitiated Blood, which is generally produced by derange
ment of the Digestive Organs.

mation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, and in Bilious
Diseases.

Grateful thousands proclaim Vinegar .Bit-'

the sinking system.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in
the system of so many thousands, are effectually de
stroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiol
ogist : There is scarc.ly an individual upon the face of the
earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms.
It is not upon the healthy elements of the body that
worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy
deposits that breed -these- Irving -monsters of disease.
No system ot Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthclimn
itics, will free the system from worms like these Bit
ters. , ""

Bilious, Kemlttent, and Intermittent
Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of our
great rivers throughout the United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Ten'
nessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Braros,
Rio Grande, Pear), Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roan
oke, James, and many, others; with their vast tributa
ries, throughout our entire country during the Summer
and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of
unusual heat and dryness, are isvariably accompanied
by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and
other abdominal viscera. There are always more or less
obstructions of the liver, a weakness and irritable stats
of the stomach, and great torpor of the bowels, being
clogged up with vitiated accumulations. In tlttir treat
ment, a purgative, exerting powerful influence upon
these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is
no cathartic for the purpose equal to. Dr. J. Wai.keh's
Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the
darkColored viscid matter with which the bowels ara
loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of
the liver, and generally restoring the healthy fuuctioua
of the digestive organs.

fections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eves,

eases, Walker's Vinegar Bitters have shown their
great curative powers iu the must obstinate aud intract
able cases.
Dr. Walker's California Vinegar Bitters
act on all these cases in a similar manner. By purifying
the Blood they remove the cause, and by resolving away
the effects of the inflammation (the tubercular deposits)
the affected parts receive health, and a permanent curs
is effected.

Their Counter-Irritant influence extends throughout
the system. Their Diuretic properties act on the Kid
neys, correcting and regulating the flow of urine. Their
