Many persons think that horses that
re kept in the stable all summer should
not be allowid to cat gra-s. Tbiyt itk
t will make the horse soft, wshy-washy,
and tha: it will throw him out of condi
tion for hard work. This is particular
ly the c*»e with some of the
trainers of trotting and running hortes
And horses that are kept up for farm
and other work are refused grass he- I
cause their diivers thiuk they will not
eat bay so well. This was formerly the
case more than it is now. But these
are all erroneous opinions and practices,
and sre giving way, gradually to a more
reasonable and Da* ural system of feed—
Bg-
Grass is the natural food cf the horse
It is cooling and healthful food. It
keeps the bowels opin and sharpens
the appetite. It promotes digestion,
and removes fever from the system
Therefore, by all rneaus, let the horse
nip the grass filtecn or twenty minutes
daily. Whether riaiumg for trotting
or running, it will be attended with the
highest benefit The horse wiil’.oose
none of his speed by such a course of
treatment. Horses that are kept up
the whole year round for farm work
should certainly be allowed a nice nib
ble at grass every day. They work
hard, and all they get for it is some
thing to eat. Let them have, then,
what they all like so well.— Rural

A Fallen Stab. —Some ten years
ago, a young lady, the daughter of a
distinguished merchant of Cincinnati,
became enamored of a young man then
clerking in her father’s store. The pa
rents opposed the marriage, and the
Bcafoely formed engagement was bro
ken off. Soon afterward she disappeared
from her home, an 1 a year subsequently
was discovered leading an abandoned
life at St. Louis. Young, beautiful
and educated, she was nevertheless thor
ougbly depraved. Her parents made
every endeavor to res'ore her to her
home, but ia vain. Fascinated with al
lurements of her vioious career, she
could not be weaned from it. Two days
ago this woman, ODce so flittered and
caressed by society, so Sited to adorn its
circles, was brought to the oentral sta
tion in this city in a wheelbarrow, pick
ed up in the steet in a state of u:ter
drunkenness. She still preserves the
traces of the remarkable beauty
that once won the hearts ot all who saw
her. But the day of her prosperity is
over, and she is rapidly descending the
path that leads to a pouper’s grave.—
And few now would recognize in ibe
features of Sally Dean the belle and
the beauty of the Western metropolis.

An Oregon pap r say* :
A few days since an emigrant train
was seen m king all sail nor hward
through our valley, and the wild look

‘black snake’ round the legs < f bis

We explained that the object of Ms
inquiries lay about twelve hundred
miles nortnward, and just about as
hard to reach as ‘Jurdon,’ besides bo'
ing almost uninhabited, except by In
dians and grizzlies. He gave a yell
that would have made Apache ashum

Disgustingly Low —The spirit of

New Kind of Indian Warfare. —A
baud of ludiuns made a sudden atta k
on a detachment of our soldiers in the
mountain. The soldiers had a moun
tain hawitzer mounted on a mule. Not
having time to take it off and get it in
position, they backed up the mule and
let drive at the Indians. The savages,
not understanding that kind of warfare,
fbd like oeers. Afterward one of them
was captured, and when asked why they
ran so, replied ; “Me big Injun; nit

ASIATIC CHOLERA IN CHINA.
Almost Every Case Cured With
I* AI TV KILLER.
Read the following leiterfrom R v. R. Tel
ford, Missionary to Chi a, uow visiting hie
home iu Pennsylvania :
Washington, Pi , June 25, 1866
Messrs. Perry Davis & Son, Providence, R
I.—Dear Sirs : During a residence of some
ten years as a missionary iu Siam and China,
I found your Vegetable Pain Killer a most
valuable remedy lor that feaiful scouige the
cholera. In administering the medicine, I
found it most iff dual to give a teasj oouful
of Pain Killer iu a gill of hot water sweet
ened with sugar; hen after about, (it teen
minutes, begin to give a tablespoonful of (he
same mixture every minute until relief was
obtained. Apply hot applications to the ex
tremities. Rathe the stomach with P,in Kil
ler, clear, and rub the limbs briskly. O those
who had the cholera and took the medicine
faithfully in the way s'ated above, eight out
ot teu recovered. Truly yours, R. Telford.
In an attack with Piarrlcea, Dysentery, cr
Cramp Cholic, don’t delay the use o( the Pain
Killer. Sold by all medicina dealers. Price
25 cents, 50 cents and $1 per bottle.
Pwatow, China, Sept. 22, Ififia.
Messrs. Perrv Davis k Son : Dear Shs—l
ought, to have acknowledge-] long ago tbe
box of Paiu Killer you had the goodness to
send us last year. Its coming was most prov
ideulial. I believe hundreds of lives were
saved, under God, by it. The cholera ap
peared here soon after we received it. We
resorted at once to the “Pair Killer,” using
as directed for cholera. A list was kept of
all to whom the “Pain Killer” was given, and
our native assistants assures us that eight out
of every ten tj whom it was presttibed re
covered. It has, too, been very useful in va
rious other diseases. It has proved an incal
culable blessing to multitudes of poor people
throughout all this region. Dur native preach
ers are never willing to go out on their ex -
cur-dons without a supply of the “Pain Kill*
er.” It gives them favor in the eyes ol the
people, and access to families and localities
by whom o'berwise they would be indiffer
ently received. Believe me. dear sir, grate
fully and faithfully yours, etc.
