A Queer Soot.
Some months ago the Augusta pa
pers published accounts of a queer sect
from Massachusetts, who had bought
lands and settled in Columbia county.
They called themselves ‘Canaanites.’ —
It seems that the community has been
guing to pieces. The Constitutionalist
of Saturday mentions that a man and
his wife belonging to the sect bad be. n
ui that city see/nug redress (rum the
civil authorities. We extract from
that paper the following account ol the
present status of the colony, as de
scribed by these persons who had es
caped :
•They informed us that Curry (the
leader) had been for some time past in a
condition that savored strongly of in
sanity. LLs dress during the cold
weather has consisted of a patrol linen
pants and a linen shirt, over which he
wears a sort ol loose linen gown. He
wears no shoes or socks. He has shav
ed oil Ins hair, whiskers and eye-brows,
and wears ii mitre with the words ’Hol
iness to Yahveli’ written in front. A
iglil or two iiince he slept in a blanket
on the gro> ml near a spring on the
place, stid attired in the airy c stumes
described above. He now declares that
lie is the second Adam, that the Presi
dent of the Un ted States, the Vice-
President, and the Spe tker ol the House,
will ail be destroyed in the next four
weeks, and that he will then rule over
the whole country, and particularly
over the South. A few days ago, ht
sent one of his men around to the wo
men ot the co oily, and demanded all of
their jewelry or trinkets o! any descrip
tion. They were compelled to yield to
the demand. Our informant stated
that Curry’s wile had remained iu the
.-etllemcnt lor a lew days, and then be
coming disgusted with the state of at
lairs, returned to her home at the Noith.
After her departure, 'Curry declared
that the laws of marriage were abolish
ed, aud took another woman as his woe.
This woman he culled
HIS QU EN,
an I established ir, state in a splendid
tent which he inhabits on the premi
ses. Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls becoming
alarmed at the phase matters were
taking, determined to remain no longer,
and therefore lied from the s ttlernent
on .Monday night, leaving what pioper
ty they still owned behind them. VVe
learned iron) them that they resided be
fore they joined the colony, at Cam
bridge, Massachusetts, ot which place
they are natives, They appear to be
well eilucated people and completely
s tisfied that the new Canaa nte doc
trines are by no means what they first
believed them to be.”
*.«*.*-.
A Isi{f Scare.
Mark twain sa)s the following story
was told to him by a fellow passenger,
who said he had never been scared since
ti.e time lie loaded an old Queen Anne
musket for his lather.
You see the old man was trying to
teach me how to shoot blackbirds, and
beasts that tore up the young corn, and
such things, so that I could be ol some
use about ilie farm, because I wasn’t
big enough to < o much.
My gun was a single-barrel shot-gun,
and the old man car.ied a Queen Anne
musket that weighed about a ton,
making a report li£e a thunderclap, and
kicking like a mule. The old man
wanted me to shoot the musket some
times. but 1 was afraid.
One day, though, I got her down,
an I taking her to a hired man asked
him to load her, because the man was
out in the field. Hirrum said:
•‘Do you see them marks on the stock,
an X aud aV ( Well, that means ten
balls and five slugs—that’s her load.”
“But how much powder?”
“O, it don’t matter ; put in four
handfuls.”
So I loaded her up in that way, and
it was an awful charge—l started out.
1 leveled her on a goad many birds,
but every time L attempted to pull
the trigger my heart failed nte ; I
was afraid of her kick. Towards sun
down I fetched up at the house, and
there was the old man resting on the
l>oreh.
“Been out hunting, have you?”
‘‘Yes, sir,’ said I.
“What did you kill ?”
“Didn’t kill anything, sir—didn’t
shoot tier off. I was afraid she’d kick.”
“Gimtnus the gun ! roared the old
u an, mad us sin. “Do you see that
I sapling ?”
TEEMS—TWO DOLLAES IN ADVANCE
I saw it, and began to drop back out
of danger. The next moment I heard
an earthquake and saw the Queen Anne
whirled end over end in the air, and
the old man spinning round on or e heel,
with both hands on his jaw, and the
bark flying from the sa ling.
The old man’s shoulder was set back
four inches, and his jaw turned black
and blue, and he had to lay up lor three
and ys. I l ave not been scared since.
Replanting Diseased Te th.—We
copy the following from the Chambers’
Journal : VVe mentioned some months
ago that a member of Odontological
Society had succeeded in replanting
teeth that had been extracted in conse
quence of disease. To the process by
which this was accomplished he gave
the name “reimplantation.” Another
member of the same society has now
had the operation tried on himself and
with success, ihe tooth which had been
lor some time painfully affected by
changes of temperature, was carefully
pulled our, to prevent straining or tear
ing gum ; the dental canal was cleansed,
the decaying parts were scraped from
the tooth, and stopping applied in the
usual way, and then the tooth was re
placed in its socket. The operation
lasted about halt an hour; for three or
four hours there was a dull, aching paiu,
which, however, entirely ceased before
noon the following day though some
tenderness remained. This in turn
disappeared ; and by the end of a fort
night the replanted tooth did, without
dilticulty, all duty which a tooth is
expected to do. From this it will be
understood that a tooth slightly diseased
at ihti root need not be thrown away,
and that persons who object to an arti
ficial tooth may with proper care retain
the teeth which nature gave them.
A Cuke eok Ear-ache.—There is
hardly any ache to which children are
subject so bad to bear and difficult to
cure as the ear-ache. But there is a
remedy never known to fail. Take a
hit of cotton batting, put on it a pinch
of black pepper, gather it up and tie
it, dipin sweet oil and insert it in the
ear. Put a flannel bandage over the
head to keep it warm. It will give im
mediate lelief.
For tooth-ache, pulverized alum and
common salt put on a piece of cotton
into a hollow tooth will shut up its ach
-1 ing so quick that you will want to
thank us for telling you.
Distemper in 1-Jor-.es.—Some time
ago I saw an article entitled, “Treat
ment of Distemper in Horses,” and
knowing a very simple and effectual
cure for the same, I concluded to give
it to your readers. The cure is simply
a lump of gum camphor, about the size
ot a hazel nut. Riven to the horse in
bran—or anything in wi ich he will eat
it—on the first indication of the disease.
If one dose does not effect a cure in two
days, repeat the dose, and I will warrant
a cure. The camphor opens the pore 9,
relieves respiration, etc., and the horse
is relieved almost as if by magic.
They have anew way of treating
the broken legs of horses, which ought
to be generally known. A valuable
horse in Hartford, Conn., had his leg
broken a short time since. The leg
was carefully set by an experienced
surgeon, and was covered thickly with
piaster. When the plaster “set” or
hardened, it sept the limb as immova
ble as if it had been made of iron.
Thus treated, a borken leg, it is asser
ted, will /niit togeiher in a brief time
and become as good as ever.
The Famine in Persia.—The famine
in Persia, which, as our readers are
aware, was raging most fearfully some
time ago, has been the, means, we learn,
of causing 100,1)00 souls (men,
women and children ) to perish in the
Persian capitol alone. Throughout the
country it is stated that not less than
three millions of human beings have
fallen victims to the famine and pesti
lence.
A pleasant experiment for the long
winter evenings: Get a vessel that
will hold 25,000 tons ; then get a lot
of needles. Drop one needle in the
first week, two the second, four the
third, and keep it up for a year. By
that time you will have filled 28,320
such n ceptacles and we will put it in
the paper for you. This is a very pleas
ant little game, and will give you plen
ty to do towurds the last.

and poet, by reason of ill health, has
