A strange case of threatened fa tality, arising frc'ni a most pecu o liar cause, Las just been developed in tins city. On the 2 7th of June olast (St. John's Day), Mr. Alex. the North Division, joined an ex cursion of the French Societv of St. Jean de Daptiste, to Bonrbon naisc Grove, near Kankakee. lie wore on that occasion a pair of what are known as French socks, composed of fine thread material, with bright scarlet buttons, which his wife had purchased at a lead ing dry goods store. At the close of (the picnic, and on his return to Chicago, Mr. Banglcy complained of severe pain in his feet, and on the following morning was unable to attend to his business in conse quence of their painfull y swollen condition. From that time forth q the strange disorder increased rap idly, extending, in white blisters, over nearly the entire body of the sufferer. Drs. Ilcnrothi and Fish er were summoned, and were at first of the opinion that the case was one of erysipelas, but were soon compelled, by the symptom, to abandon thw diagnosis, j .lie physicians were completely at loss to account for the peculiar mani festations of the disease, which un questionably indicate that a dead ly poison had been nilused into the system through the medium of the blood. After several consulta tions had been had, the doctors incidentally learned of the scarlet footed French socks worn by Mr. Jiangley on St. John's Day. A minute examination of the socks developed the fact that in the bright red coloring matter was contained a principle of actue poi son, the absorption of which into the sensitive sole of the foot had been aided by abundant perspira tion, until it had taken complete " possession of the system. Subse quent to arriving at the cause every effort was made to effect a remedy, but without success. Mr. IJanglcy's condition has continued to grow worse day by day, until, on yesterday, he was advised to make his will, as he had but a short time to lrrc. So stands this singular poisoning case at present. It is stated that other cases of the kind have arisen from the same cause, though not nearly so severe. The practice of wearing this style ot sock is said to prevail quite ex tensively among gentlemen, and if, as in the case of Mr. IJanglcy Fcem) to unmistakably indicate, they contain these dangerous ele ments, the fact cannot be too widely disseminated throughout the community. Ar.ouT IIonsES. F rom the Rochester Union we take the fol lowing: "Horses as a general thing, get too much licking and too little feed. If a man loses his hat while driving his horse, he licks the horse to pay for it. If he runs into another wagon through his own carelessness, ho licks the horse to make it all riht. If his bprse slips or stumbles, he gets licked for it, and if he don't do anything he gets the same. A great many horses know 4 a sight' more than their drivers, and if thev could change places with them so ciety at large would be the gainers, and so would horses.' Lazy Farmer. Laziness pre vents a man from getting off his horse to put up the first rail that gets knocked off the fence and through this lazy neglect a whole field of corn is seriously damaged. Laziness keeps a man from driv- ing one nail when one would do, find finally costs a carpenter's bill for expensive repairs. Laziness allows a gate to get off the hinges and lie in the mud, or stShrT propped by rails, or a stable or barn to leak and damage hun dreds of dollars worth of proven der. Laziness, in short, is the rWht and proper name for nine-tenths of the excuses given for bad fanning. But by far the most prolific of the many wastes that arc due to lazi ness is the waste of ignorance. But this waste is in itself so great, and has so many ramifications 'that we shall have to defer its discussion for another tune. Dixie (Tem.) Farmer. Tlio whole world on ho W nf (-ast January had 100,177 miles of railway in operation and a few years, "bptmded by existing nvcs comprise the history of this etri ordinary development of the means ot lntcr-conimiuncation.

In our paper of July 10th is an ac count of a new textile plant dis covered in the Alleghanies by Mr. Roczel of Mexico, Ihe introducer of" the Ramie. Mr. Roezel was of opinion that it was an entirely new plant a species of Bochanria. The leaf in his possession was dry, and did not enable us to recognize it very well. While traveling up the Missouri River towards Jeffer son City, we found the plant in great abundance in the shady woods, and saw that it was not a new plant, but the " purple stinging nettle" Urtica purpurascens of botanists.) In company with Dr. Morse, of the St. Louis Jounml of Agriculture, wo washed out some of the fibre, and found it identical with that collected by Roezel in -Maryland. Victor Hugo, in Led Miscrables, refers to the' great value of the fibre from plants of the nettle tribe, to which these " Ramies"' belong; but, as nothing lias been made of them in Europe, we sup pose they have not been found so strong or line as the American ones. The strength of those deli cate fibres is enormous. While at Chicago, Professor Welch weighed one for us, and though as fine as the hair from a child's head, it bore a weight of nine ounces be fore breaking. There is a difference of opinion as to the real value of the Ramie. The Commissioner of Agriculture believes not strongly in it, and savs it will not do north of thePo tomac any how. The Yankee rule is to "prove all things;" and many will like to experiment on this for themselves. This one being na tive to the Northwest, will at least prove hardy enough for trial. Font erf s IWss. Potatoes for Horses. -As is well known, tin Earlv Goodrich potato produced last season a great number of small tubers, too small to sell even for seed purposes. Usually wc sell these to the bak ers at about thirty-five cents per bushel, or to the starch-makers for about the same price. How to dispose of these potatoes to better advantage has always been an in teresting question with us. Hon. S. S. Cox, now travelling in Spain, writes that some of the best brands of Malaga wine are made from po tatoes, and we wish some one would furnish us with a recipe, so that wo could thus easily and prof itably dispense with the iuice of the grape. Recently the Fruit had under consideration the ones- A. tion whether the potato was to be considered a fruit or a vogetal.de? At the time we thought the dis cussion silly, but no doubt some of the participant s are in the secret of this potato-wine business; and as it has the same properties as the jrrape, recrarded it as svnonomous with fruits. P07T1C tfllOW Of reason. However, as avg have not tlio plan ly which the potato Ls thus turned into the f-oul-inspirincc juice, tlio next l.cst tiling is to feed ther-c small ones to tlio liorfies. Boino will not touch them. They seem to make an their minds to starve first, hut Rome will. Two of ours took to them greedily last winter, and throve well on them. e mixed a. few with the oatn at each meal, ur-ing them instead of corn. Forney's Jrcss. Fa"r"M"ers CiiEED.

Mr. F., you jest when you say my babe is the handsomest you ever saw : you must be soft-soaping." " Well, Madam, I think it needed soap) of some kind." A libel suit for 820,000 against the Crisis a Democratic journal of Columbus, Ohio, has just resulted in the prosecutor's paying his own costs. The following from the Chicago Dai ly Republican, contains many truths which the people of Oregon in porticular seem to be, in a great measure, strangers to. LTenco we give it a place in our crlumns, and commend it to the careful considera tion o i our readers : " What teila us so readily the standard of a town or city as the appearance of its paper? And it3 youth, or age can aa well be defined by the observing as by personal notice. The enterprise of its citizens, is depicted by its advertise ments, their liberality by the looks of the paper. Soma papers show a good, solid, healthy foundation.- plethoric purses, and a well to do appearance generally ; oihcr.i show a striving to contend with the grasp ing thousands around thorn, trying hard to"Vrench out ai existence from the close fisted community aronnd them. An oc casion motoric display in its coining of telegraphic or local, or of editorials shows wha t it can do if it had the means, but can not continue in the expensive work until support come?, which ought to be readi ly granted. A newspaper is like a church ; it wants fos'.ering at the early commence ment, and for a lew years ; then, aa a gen oral thing, it can walk alone, and reiiect credit unr.n. its location. Take your home paper, it gives you more news of immedi ate interest than the New York or other papers ; it talks for you when other local ities hullo you ; it stands up for your rights : yon" always have a champion ia your home paper ; and those who stand up for you should certainly bo welt sus tained. Your interests are kindred and eaual. you must stand or fall together. Therefore it 33 your interest to support your homo paper, not grudgingly, but in a liberal spirit, r.g a pleasure, not as a disogreeabio duty, but as an investment that will amply pay the expenditure." JS-I?" Some say that it is no use for them to advertise, that they have been in the place in business all their lives, and every body knows them. Such people ecem to forget to take in consideration that our country is increasing in population nearly 40 per cent, every ten years, and no mat ter how old the place may be, there are constant changes taking place; some move to other parts, and strangers fill their places. In this age of the world, un less the name of a business firm is kept constantly before the public, some new firms may start up, and, by liberally ad vertising, in a yery short time take the place of the older ones, and the latter rust out. as it were, and be forgotten. No man ever lost money by judicious adver tising. Jju Newspapers, bv enhancing the value of property in their neighborhood, and givirg the locality in which they are published a reputation abroad, benefit all, particularly if they are merchants or real estate owners, thrice the amount yearly of the sum they pay for their support. Be sides, every spirited citizen has a laudable pride in having a paper of which he is not ashamed, even though he should pick it up in New Yorker Washington. A good looking, thriving, live newspaper helps to sell property, gives character to the lo cality, and in all respects is a desirable public convenience. If, from any cause, the matter in the local or editorial columns should not be quite up to your standard, do not east it aside and pronounce it of no account, until you are satisfied that there has been no more labor bestowed upon it than is paid for. II' you want a good read able sheet, it must be supported. The local press is tha " power that moves the people.''' Protection- to Nkwstai'kk FrnmsnEKS. The following are the laws of Congress touching the liability of subscribers to newspapers: 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary, are considered as wishing to continue their subscription. 2. If subscribers who have not paid, or der their papers stoppcd.the publisher may continue to send them until paid. 3. If subscribers refuse or neglect to take (heir papers from the office, ilsey are held responsible until they settle the bill and order the paper discntinued. 4. If subscribers remove to another place without informing the publishers, and their papers are continued to the former direction, they can be held re sponsible. S.The Courts have decided that refusing to take a paper from the office, or remov ing and leaving it uncalled for is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud on the part of the subscriber.
