Horrible Attempt at Outrage.
The Clerotand (Ohio,) Herald tells the follow
ing horrible story
A few tiny* ago its Miss Helen McGuire, n
voting, handsome tint) accomplished lady, living
in the family of William Higitby, of Solon, wns
walking leisurely along the railway track, she
discovered that a negro was dogging her steps,
and, fearing he contemplated mischief, increased
her gait to one ol more rapid pace.
Seeing that he also governed his movements
by her speed, she boca me frightened, commenced
running and fear lent her such powerful wiogs
that she would have reached a place ot safely
had he not led the track and gained upon her by
making a "short cut” while she lollowcd the
curve of the road. Surprised at his sudden ap
pearance In trout, he haviug boldly leaped out of
the bushes, she seized a club as a means of pro
tection and commenced running in the opposite
direction. He followed, and when about to grasp
bis victim her foot caught upon something which
brought her to the ground violently, but before
bis arrival sbe was up iqpin and turned upon hor
her power to wield theclub. Her blows were so
well directed for a time that lie feared to venture
beneath the shadow ot the weapon, but by a se
ries of manoeuvres lie gradually approached, eva
ding all the heaviest blows, until she, being
scarcely able to stand through fright and exces
sive self-defense, could not wield the stick any
longer when he gave her a blow on the head
that sent her reeling and staggering to the
earth.
Pouncing upon her prostrate and helpless form
like a demon In darkness, he proceeded to ac
complish a foarfhl crime, but her resistance was
so stubborn that, in the struggle, her hair was
disheveled, her person badly bruised, her cloth
ing lorn to shreds, and blood ran from wounds
inflicted on her face and neck until the poor girl
looked almost like any object except a woman.
In the meantime, when his flat was not battering
her mouth she cried (or help, and help came in
time to alarm the villain before his awful work
was accomplished. They were some distance
from any habitation, and the monster would pro
bably have been successful had not her cry been
heard by a farmer who chanced to be in a neigh
boring field, which was hid from view by an in
tervening piece of timber. Upon the farmer's
uppearanco the negro fled, and the farmer would
have given chase but tho lady pleaded with him
to remain with her. Ho carried her to a house,
aroused the neighborhood, and by measures
formed for the Capture of the criminal, they
were successful in effecting his arrest soon alter.
A Question ok Mountains.—Has California
or Oregon the highest mountain in the United
States is a question which is now occupying the
attention ot scientific men of the coast. The
questiou lies between Mount Hood in Oregon,
and Mount Whitney in California. The former
is 15,000 feet high, and the latter, up to last Au
gust, has been reputed to be 12,000. At that
time Prof. Wood ascended Mount Hood and
reported its heighlto be 17,600feet. The report
lias excited no little astonishment. The latitude
snd longitude are easily ascertained, and are
probably correctly stated on the maps of the
United Slates coast survey. It seems a little
strange that if the mountain was 17,600 feet
high, that it has not been discovered before this,
and it is the general opinion among scientific
men that Prof Wood has made a mistake.—
Prof. Whitney made some remarks upon this
question at the February meeting of the Califor
nia Academy of Natural Sciences, and he called
attention to tho fuel that a correct calculation of
Prof. Wood’s observations would make Mount
flood, not 17,000 feet, blit 34,000 leet high ! Dr.
Newberry, who is considered good authority,
says that forest trees arc not found more than
<>,50© feet above the sea at Mount Hood, where,
us Prof Wood says, they grow to 0,000 feet.
An investigation to he made this summer will
probably deprive Mount Hood of the honor of
being ilia highest mountain in the United
States.
Encounter Between an Elephant and a
Hat.—A very extraordinary encounter between
a rat and an elephant has recently taken place in
the Garden of Plants, London, which was wit
nessed with interest by hundreds of persons.-r
The keepers wore engaged in destroying a great
number of rats, when one of them escaped, and
ran to the spot allotted to the elephant. Seeing
no other reluge, in the twinkling of an eye the
rat snugly ensconsed himself in the trunk of the
elephant, very much to the elephant’s dissatis
faction. He stamped his foot and twisted his
trunk around like the sail of a windmill. After
these revolutions he stood suddenly still, evi
dently reflecting ou what was best to do. He
ran to the trough wliero lie is accustomed to
drink, plunged his trunk into the water, then re
turned to his den, ami raising his trunk, witli the
water he absorbed, lie dashed out the unfortu-
uute rat, which was iu a sheet ol water like tlint
issuing from a lire engine. When the rat fell to
the ground the elephant seized him and made
him undergo the immersion and projection four
times. At the fourth throw it fell dead. The
clphant, with a majestic air, but cool and placid,
crushed his annoying enemy with his foot, and
then turned round to the spectators to make his
usual collection of cakes, sugar and other dain
ties. The feat was received with vociferous ap
plause, which the elephant seemed fully to un
derstand and appreciate.
A DnKADKUL Death.—A young French musi
cian ol much promise, named Benoit Denis, met
vi(h a terrible deatli near Vera Cruz last Decem
ber. He had been performing at the country
house of a wealthy American merchant residing
near Vera Cruz, quitted the heated concert room
i refresh himself in the pleasure grounds and
enjoy the cool evening air. Feeling thirsty, he
took up an alcaraza which he happened to see
near a fountain, filled it with fresh water, and
put it to his lips. Frightful screams instantly at
tracted the company to tlio spot. Denis was
lying on the earth, his hair on end, his features
livid, the body and tail of a monster scolopender
protruding from his guping mouth. The reptile,
whose bile is more venomous than that of a
scorpion, had taken shelter from the heat in the
cool porcelain beaker. As Benoit npproached
tlie vase to hi9 lips the scolopender had sprung
at his open throat. In vain was the reptile s
body cut away. Once its tangs close on their
prey it is impossible to tear thorn open. A sur
geon who chanced to be among the guests pro
ceeded to cut them out of the flesh, piece by
piece • hut by the time the operation was over,
the poison had produced its fatal results, aud
| after three hoars of agonizing convulsions, the
| unfortunate young artist expired.
Effect of an Ancient Relic.—In tlie ex
cavations of the ancient cities many relics are
disentombed which throw important light upon
the history of music, showing that the ancients
were a musical people. From this source we
learn that Syria was tho birth-place of music.
Stringed instruments were in use in tlie earliest
[times. Among the ruins ol Thebes in Egypt,
a harp has been found with tlie strings intol
erable preservation, sufficiently so to vibrate at
tlie touch though the time elapsed since the last
touch was given it, is 3000 years. The same
string that vibrated the strange tunes of that
time gives its sound still, the taint sound as
though it hail been sounded but yesterday. This
| brings the old witli a terrible cliect to U9. 1 he
»ime string with the same sound ! But how
ditlerent the tune now and the hands that touch
eil it! The tiarp is tho same, soundiug as it did
in the ears ol those strange old Egyptians, pre
served w till the harp; perhaps the hands (ol the
mummies) touched string. So rEulmn sounds
bring tbe ancients fresh to us. We hear the
sound that the Greek heard in Ills day, us fresh
| and just the same.—Cohnaa'i Rural H arid.
A Massachusetts paper says that tlie case
of trichinosis reported in Springfield is having a
marked effect on tlie sale ol pork in that city.
No wonder; nothing more likely. When we
| are told that halt a dozen persons are killed by
insects iu a 1mm they have eaten, and that
similar insects inhabit pork iu all its forms,
I notidng is more natural than that tlie sale ol
iiork should be somewhat affected thereby. We
should like to know how large a proportion of
I these dreadltll stories are got up for the purpose
of ufleeting the pork market. A few years ago
a similar panic was got up about oysters, which
were represented as killing of people who ate
them, right and left; and the oyster market was
I affected accordingly. Bad pork is unquestion
ably unwholesome—and hams may undoubtedly
i become fatally poisonous. But we put not a
particle of faith in Hie sweeping stones fold
about tlie deadly character ot pork in general.

To Kmp Horses In Health.
Horses to he kept healthy, need tho best enre,
attention aud treatment. It is only when abus
ed, ill-treated and improperly fed, that horses
become Blck and die. If they aro fed on poor
dusty hay, and musty oats, if tlioy are kept in
low, illy-ventilated stables; if they are compelled
to stand in thoir stalls fetlock deep iu the mud
or their own filth; if they are worked hard and
brought in at uiglil wet with sweat or rain, and
their legs aud bellies covered with mud, and then
a total neglect of cleaning, rubbing, aud rnukiug
comfortable : is it wonderful that horses should
deteriorate and sicken and die?
To keep in flue health aud spirits; to have a
shiny, glossy coat; to work willingly and cheer
fully ; to win his affections—he must receive
proper treatment
At this season ol the year, salt and wood ashes
mixed—say two parts of salt aud one of ash os-
should be kept standing before all horses, it is,
we believe, a sure preventive of hots, colic,
worms, &c. A good big lump of rock salt al-
ys lying iu the manger, will keep a horse in
health. Carrots and parsuips, cooked or raw,
and given to horse9, are an excellent alterative,
and arc promotive of digestion, aud give tone to
the stomach. Bran mashes should he given once
or twice a week to all horses that are kept up.—
They are made by using about five quarts ol
bran for each horse, and pouring boiling water
over it, and putting in a little salt and letting it
stand till cool, and then feeding to tho horse.—
Good bright hay and oats only should be fed. It
is an outrage to mistreat so noble an animal us
the horse.—Colman's Rural World.

JOHN D. POPE.
Crib Bitino.—Cribbing is undoubtedly a
habit rather titan a disease. This, it would seem,
is proved by tho fact that a young horse confined
in a stable next to an old horse who is acribbcr,
will soon acquire tlie habit. It is very common
among horses that are constantly kept in a stable
and may be caused by the animal seizing upon
crib biting ns a solitary pastime, to while away
the tiresome hours ol stable lite. Or the con
stant diet of hay and oats may derange the di
gestion, causing—as we ourselves well know-
uneasiness. Or tlie long continued inhalation of
close and impure air may disorder that part of
the body which is tho most sympathetic of tlie
entile system, and thus gives to the habit. Crib
bing may he prevented if taken in hand during
its early stages. First attend to the atmosphere
of tlie stable, rendering it pure by careful venti
lation. Place a lump of rock salt in the manger.
This acts as a stimulant to tlie stomach, and will
often enable tlie horse's digestion to recover its
lost tone. It this does not eflect a cure add to
it a large piece of chalk. Should this prove to
do no good, damp the food, and at each time of
feeding, sprinkle magnesia upon it. Mayhew
also recommends a handful of ground oak bark
to be given with each teed of grain. Should
none ot the above measures prove of benefit, we
should coma to tlie conclusion that tlie disease
wu9 of more obstinate nature and treat as in
chronic indigestion.—Maine Farmer.
Talking Fine.—Ludicrous blunders sometimes
occur in cases where ignorant persons attempt
the use of language about tlie meaning of which
they know nothing.
Not long since, while traveling from Pittsburg
to Cincinnati, two rather verdant specimens of
the female sex came on board tlie boat at one ot
the bindings, who, for tlie sake of distinction, we
will call Jury and Jane.
Now, Mary had her eye teeth cut, or, in other
words, was acquainted with tlie rules and regu
lations which govern genteel society. Jane, the
younger, had never mixed in society to any ex
tent. Her language wits sucli as she had heard
among her rustic associates. Mary, was aware of
this fact, and therefore cautioned her to observe
how she (Mary) acted, and govern herself accor
dingly.
Shortly alter, while seated at the dinner table,
the waiter asked Mary what part of the fowl site
would have? She imformed him, in a very po
lite manner, that it was “perfectly immaterial."
He accordingly gave her a piece, and then in
quired of Jane what part she would prefer?
“I believe 1 will take a piece of the immaterial,
too!”
Tho scene that followed this declaration is be
yond the power of the pen to describe. Tlie as
sembled company were obliged to give a sponta
neous vent to their surcharged feelings in peals
of boisterous laughter; whilst the poor girl, her
face suffused witli crimson blushes, left the table,
declaring as she fled from the cabin:
“They won’t catch me on one of these pesky
steamboats agin 1”
Smallness of Cob very Desirable in Seed
Corn.—The selection of seed corn is one of the
most important things which a larmer does at
this season. Conrse cobs accompany late matu
rity, as a rule; fine cobs, well tipped out, indi
cate perfect maturity, adaptation to the season
and soil, and a fixedness of character which it is
important to maiutain. The curing of corn takes
place to a great extent after husking, and the pre
sence ol a great, soft, moist cob in each car gives
a tendency to mold, which should be sedulously
avoided. The old experiment ol fitting a paper
cone to an ear of corn, then withdrawing the ear,
shelling it and returning the kernels to the cone,
is interesting and instructive. If the kernels will
go easily into the cone, the cob is too large, ami
we should say, tho coru unfit for seed. 1 lie cono
should be made of brown paper, dampened,
bound tightly around the car, coming no higher
than the kernels, but covering all; the ends are
trimmed off, and it is allowed to dry before the
car is drawn out. One may easily judge by the
eye which cars have tlie smallest cobs—those
which aro best tipped out, which have the ker
nels in the closest rows, and all the rows running
unbroken from end to end. These ears will not
be found among the biggost round, nor among
tho longest, usually, but among those of medium
size. A friend used to say, as he showed off Ids
seed coru, “evory ear as solid and regular as a
white oak pin. And so they were, ss nearly as
corn ears could be—firm close, hard and solid.
Scratches in Horses.—In reply to calls for
a remedy lor scratches in horses, we give tlie
following;
Tako a heaping tablespoonful of powdered
alum and burn it slowly. Fill a quart bottle
with one part beef brine, one part alcohol, and
one part urine—into which place tlie burned
alum, and wait for the latter to dissolve thor
oughly. •
Wash the fetlock joint carefully with warm
castile suds, and then bathe the parts with tlie
above described decoction. We have tried it
oflen, and it never fails to effect a cure.
