Dim“: Given In the Toronto Asa-lures Yesterdayâ€"The Prisoners Discharged A Toronto despstch says: Chief Justice Cameron held court yesterday from 10 a.m. till 9 o’clock last night. The Curr murder case being on, the Courtroom was as full as the constables would permit. Hattie Jeffrey, who looks as if her confinement had done her good, came into Court neatly attired, and took a seat in the prisoner’s dock. John Falvey also seems to have braced up since his incarceration in Castle Green. He was allotted a seat beside Mrs. Jeffrey. Detective Reburn, who has worked indefatigably on this case, assisted Crown Counsel Irving with the case, and Mr. E. F. Galbraith appeared for the defence. The day was spent in exam- ining Crown witnesses. Not a single new iact was elicited. The deaf mute Mont- gomery was examined at three-hours’ length with the aid of his son as interpre- t'er. He failed to positively identify either Mrs. Jeffrey or Fslvey as the persons he he saw quarrelling opposite his house. He could not identify Falvey’s ' clothing, although the letter wore white pants and vest on the morning of Curr’s murder. The mystery surrounding the case seems to he as deep as ever. The jury were locked up for the night. Our own correspondenttelegraphs to-day The Curr mystery is a mystery still. The trial of the prisoners Falvey and Hattie Jefferywas continued this morning before Mr. Justice Cameron, but the evidence was not of of a new or interesting nature. The deal! and dumb man, George Bromfield,was recalled and confronted with the testimony given by him at the inquest. He was very contradictory, and at the con« clusion of his examination Mr. Galbraith submitted that the evidence was wholey insufficient to establish the identity of the prisoners with the murderers, and without calling any witnesses for the defence asked that the Crown be non-suited. His Lordship concurred. and in addressing the jury told them that the main witness, Bromfield, was unreliable, and that his testimony was so disjointed that no weight should be attached to it. After other witnesses he did not consider that the stories connected the prisoners directly with the crime. He then instructed the jury to return a verdict of acquittal, which they did without leaving the box, and the prisoners were discharged. The subject of a harbor of refuge for the east coast of Scotland, which has been under consideration for a. considerable time, has now been decided upon. As was expected.

A Cleveland despatoh says: The Garfield National Monument Association to-day decided upon the designs for the monu- ment. It will be of tower form, carved and sculptured. The tomb is made the princi- pal object of the memorial. The tower rises from broad terraces, reached by wide- spreading steps. A projecting porch at the base contains the vestibule, on the side of which is the keeper’s office. 0n the other is a room for the relics and visitors’ register. The vestibule leads into the round vaulted chamber, the stone root of which is carried on eight massive polished granite colums, in a circle around the sculptured tomb in the centre. The pavement is tiled in harmonious colors and designs, the whole being lighted by richly mullioued windows. A spiral stone stair- case leads from the aisle to the top of the tower, 250 feet from the ground. The band on the frieze of the sculpture is six feet in height. extending around the base of the tower, which is forty feet square. The frieze is divided into panels, with bass- reliefs representing Garfield as an educa- tor, soldier and statesman. Garfield’s remains will be enclosed in the crypt below the level of the chamber under the carved tomb. A family vault is provided at the back of the chamber. Jealousy 0! n Divorced Wiie and Its Results. An Aurora, Ind., despatch says: In a Fourth street tenement house there lives John Horton and his divorced wife in separate apartments .and a Mrs. Owens. For some time the former Mrs. Horton had suspected her late husband of inti- macy with Mrs. Owens. She became very jealous, audito-day, with three women friends, went to Mrs. Owens’ room, shut the door, gagged her, tore her garments from her and poured tar over her writhing body, using a large paint brush to paint her efl‘eCtually. It was intended to apply feathers as well, but the woman who pro- mised to bring the feathers failed to do so. When their work was completed the women released their victim, after many threats of punishment if she should disclose their names. She was too mad to keep her promise, however,and as quickly as possible procured assistance and told who her assailants were. The women will be arrested tomorrow if Mrs. Owens succeeds by that time in ridding herself of enough of the tar to enable her to appear and swear out warrants against them. Marriage at Two childrenâ€"The Bride- groom Soumlly Switched. Adespatch from Wheeling, West Vir- ginia, says : “ Monongahela County , known as the Athens of West Virginia. is agitated overs. novel elopement. The families of Wm. Jones and Mrs. James McCormick, a widow, are residents on adjoining farms. The former had a son aged 16 and the latter a daughter aged 12. Jones is wealthy and Mrs. McCormick is poor. Young Jones conceived a violent passion for Miss McCormick, which was encour- aged by her mother, and arrangements were made for sloping to the nearest town beyond the border of the State into Pennsylvania. The girl first disappeared, and the mother gave it out that she was lost. The neighborhood turned out to search for her. The boy secured a horse from his father on the pre- tence of joining in the search. He followed the girl to a prearranged hiding place, and went to Pennsylvania, Where they were married. They came home the next day with the marriage certificate. The father cut a switch and gave the boy a thrashing. : He then sent him to a military school at St. Albany. The girl's mother instituted a ‘ suit against Jones, in behalf of her daughter, ‘ for damages, laying the suit at $5,000, and ‘ alleging the alienation of the husband’s1 affection. A license is not required in Pennsylvania for marriage. Jones claims that it is ascheme to mulct him. The girl is pretty, but illiterate. The boy is intelligent and popular.” $100,000 Dnmnge Done in the Neighbor- hood of Calgary. A Winnipeg despatoh says: Advices from Calgary report considerable damage by floods west of that point. Railway bridges up the Bow River have been swept away, and also the railway bridges over the Bow and Elbow Rivers at Calgary, also the traffic bridge over the Elbow there was partially destroyed and traffic stopped. The total damage is about $100,000. Five inches of rain fell in Bow River Valley between Sunday and Wednesday night. Traffic will likely be reestablished by Monday. The Prince has three children â€"a daugh- ter, the Countess Mary, who was born in 1848, and married about four years ago to Count Rantzau, and two sons. Counts Herbert and William, both of whom are yourger than their sister, and unmarried. The former is in the diplomatic service, and has in his official capacity been attached to several embassies, and recently to that in London. The latter, who bears a strong personal resemblance to his father, has devoted himself to the legal profession, and has been a member or the German Parliament. Both served at first as pri- vates in the Dragoon Guards in the last war, during which the Prince evinced much anxiety on their behalf, riding out after them as often as circumstances per- mitted. Both of them work from time to time in the immediate neighborhood of the Prince, in whose bureau his son-in-law also found employment. I may mention, too, that the Prince is the happy possessor of grandchildren, fine, sturdy little fellows, the eldest of whom occasionally pays a visit at his grandfather’s palace, with the ‘cap of the yellow ouirassiers on his fair, ‘ young head. lather-gs in Ihc Gun.

A Montreal telegram Lot Wednesday night’s date says : One of the boldest rob- beries that has taken place here for some time past occurred today on Craig street. as Mr. Fuller, a messenger of the Mer- chants’ Bank, was proceeding on his daily rounds presenting promissory notes for payment. In passing a post on the side- walk that was decorated with evergreens a branch fell on him, which he proceeded to replace. As he was engaged in the act a horde of American shaipers, who have been here since the carnival picking pockets. surrounded him as if to give him assistance. After his work was accomplished he put his hand in his pocket and found that his book, containing notes and cheques for $3,000, .had been abstracted. The documents are fortunately endorsed as payable to the bank, and therefore are or no use to the thieves, and it will be no loss to the bank if they are not returned, as payment of them has been stopped.

They claim they have had indirect assurances made to them that the Canadian Government will give them favorable consideration, and it is likely that a delegation will leave Salt Lake City for Canada in a few days. They will propose to the Canadian Government to take up a large section of country, induce immigration, make it blossom as the rose, as they have done in Utah. and that they will be peaceable and law-abiding citizens in every way, provided they are given liberty in matters of their owu religion and in regard to their views of marriage.

There had been a logging bee during the day, and two men, named John MoAulay and James Alexander, engaged in a fight," in which the former hit one of the latter‘s fingers. Joseph Morden, one of the by- standers, upbraided MoAulay for his mode of fighting, and in response to a challenge engaged in a conflict with MoAulav, WhO' drew a knife and stabbed him sixteen times in the face, shoulders and upper part of the body, one of the wounds being in the left lung.

Demanding a New Trial. A Bull Fight. A Washington correspondent telegraphs: In the course of a conversation upon the subject SurgeonAGeneral Hamilton said that he did not believe that the cholera, reported to have appeared at Toulon. would extend beyond the control of the French health oflioers. It had probably been brought from Egypt in the troop ships returning to France from that country. There was little danger of a direct im- portation of the disease from Egypt into the United States, for the reason that our imports from that country are confined to rags, which age rigidly inspected by Gov- ernment officers. The Surgeon-General added that cholera was, of all diseases, perhaps the most diflicult to quarantine against, and localities threatened by it should adopt every precaution in the way of perfect cleanliness and attention to hygienic conditions. UNQUESTIONABLY ASIATIC CHOLERA. A telegram from Paris says : Dr. Ger- main, physician at the Hotel Dieu, being questioned this morning, thought that the epidemic at Toulon was unquestionably Asiatic cholera. In the event of its spread- ing through Paris, he recommends the immediate closing of all the barracks, schools, workshops and prisons in which it might break out, and the dispersal of the people inhabiting them ; also the free use of disinfectants, such as corrosive sublimate, protoxide of mercury or pure iodine and subcutaneaus injections of morphia. It would be useless, he says, to change one’s ordinary habits from the fear of disease. Asa precaution against con- tagion, he ‘would advxse the attendants on patients to relieve each other in attendance frequently. In an interview with M. Pasteur, the famous French medical investigator, yes- terday. a correspondent said : All medical authorities who have been consulted, among them Sir William Gull, of London, agreed in ridiculing the idea that quaran- tine is efficacious in stopping oholera_L On April 30th fatal cases of cholera occurred on the British troopship Crocodile, from Bombay, as she was entering the port of Plymouth, England. The cable has been recently quite silent as to the devel- opment of any new cases at Plymouth. All investigations of cholera epidemics appear clearly to show, as a prominent authority says, that the time factor of its outbreak is “ the intro uction into the locality of the specific infecting matter, this being accomplished‘in general by the arrival of infected persons." Theories have been propounded to account for the extension of cholera by the prevalence of abnormal atmospheric conditions. High temperature, it is stated, favors the spread of the disease, and so far as excessive heat debilitates the system or aids in vitiatmg the atmosphere this no doubt is true. But it is well known that some of the most fatal cholera epidemics have raged through rigorous _winters. M. Pasteur replied: All the French faculty are absolutely of the opposite opinion. The English have a happy knack of defending theories convenient to them and their commerce. It is universally recognized that the cholera has been imported from India, though the English doctors commissioned to investigate the matter report that it originated last year in Egypt. What does Sir William Gull know about cholera ? He is merely Court phy- sician. Besides, I don’t believe that the English doctors would dare stick to their theories now. The London Free Press says : It is now many years since cholera visited Canada, but in past times it has claimed many hun- dreds of victims in this country. The years 1832, 1834 and again in 1848 and 1856 were marked by fatal and alarming visitations, when the death cart, with its little yellow flag, was a familiar object in the streets of our cities, when fires of tar were kept burning in front of dwellings, and gunpowder was discharged in great quantities from cannon as a disinfecting agent. Dr. Fenwick, of this city, who passed through two or three of the epidemics referred to, speaks confi- dently of the theory that the disease is atmospheric. Investigators of the period at Quebec tested this point by sending up small pieces of meat fastened to captive balloons, quite out of the reach. as sup- posed, of any impurity connected with the ground. When these came down they were found to be excessively putrid, showing, as was claimed. the existence of the disease germ in the atmosphere. Another reason why the cholera was thought to be in the air was in the fact that even the raftsmen far up the river Ottawa and other lumber regions were stricken down with it. _ Correspondentâ€"Admitting your'views to be correct. would it not be in logical order for the quarantine laws to be applied to towns where the cholera is raging, just as in the ease of ships ? M.Paaheurâ€"That would be a. return to the barbarian: of the Middle Ages and an outrage on modern ideas of individual liberty. CANADIAN VIBITATIONS IN THE PAST. M. Pasteurâ€"If it be the real Asiatic cholera. about which we shall know more tomorrow, it will spread allover France, doubtless, but with what degree of viru- lence it is impossible to say. The old- tangled notion that such and such diseases always rage with the same intensity has been exploded. The virus may be of any degree of intensity, from zero upward. I have in these (pointing to his laboratory) rabies virus almost innocuous. and some infinitely more terrible than that dogs die of.- This outbreak may possxbly be a weak one.

Ball for [Ave Stock. “ What are all those lambs doing around that black object over there ?" inquired a city iriend who a day or two ago was walk- ing through the sheeptold with us. “ Oh,” we replied, “ they are waiting their turn to get to the salt." He was somewhat sur- prised when we reached the “ black object " to seea large, roofed box with open sides, resting on wheels, and containing a lump of coarse, reddish rock-salt, weighing, per- haps, half a hundredweight, and so well licked that its surface was all curves and no corners. No doubt all stock-keepers who understand the cravings of horses, cattle and sheep take care that salt shall always be within, their reach, though it is seldom necessary to force it on their atten- tion. Young stock are particularly fond of it, and when lambs are folded on a rich green breadth of vetches, trifolium and win- ter barley, as in the case just referred to, or on cabbage or rape, they always appear to us to pay special attention to the salt- box. We have seen a lamb go to the slat as often as once and even twice an hour ; he doesn’t take much of the mineral at each visit, simply licking the lump three or four times, then pausing and looking round with an appearance of quiet satisfaction sur- rounding him, and finally walking off tor fresh supplies of green food, but only pre- sently to return again. A small modicum of salt in or with the food is essential to the life of the highest animals. It is com- posed of the metal sodium and the non- metal chlorine, the former being an indie- pensable constituent of that important digestive fluid, the bile, which is secreted by the liver, and the latter entering into the composition of the gastric juice which is poured into the stomach from the secretory cells of its lining membranes. The elements of common salt also enter into the constitution of the blood. Of the ordinary foods given to farm stock, common salt is most abundant in mangele, but even then in small quantity ; in grass and other green fodder its proportion is even less, while in wheat, barley, oats and in meals made from these grains, as also in potatoes, salt is absent. Vast herds of bufialoes will travel hundreds of miles to reach the salt springs of Northwest America, and in the central parts of South Africa the hunter who conceals himself beside a brine spring never has to wait long for his prey. Let the animals find they can get salt when they require it and they will be sure to take such quantity as nature demands, while their own instinct will guard them from erring on the side of excess. Our live stock, like ourselves, should take their food cum gram sulfa. Roses.

Not many years ago the bones of animals had no money value and were considered useless rubbish. Later they came into use for making buttons, knife-handles, common piano keys, etc.; then to supply phosphorus for friction matches and other purposes, the demand for them increasing very rapidly. Soon their value as fertilizers was recognized, and now the farmer who does not save and make good use of all the bones he can find on his place is behind the times. In the processes where large quan- tities of bones are'used, they supply a , valuable by-product in the way of fats or fatty acids, which are extensively used in the manufacture of soaps and other articles of commerce. Two prominent bone products enter largely into daily use, viz., glue and animal char- coal. The value of these two products aggregates millions of dollars annually. Such facts show the value of things too often overlooked, or so little esteemed as to be permitted to go to waste. Farmers generally understand that the chief fertiliz- ing property of house is the phosphate of lime they contain, amounting to half their dry weight. The organic part, that which can be burned out, or Will decay out in time, contains much nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen and sulphur, the nitrogen being valuable as a fertilizer. The reduction of bones goes on rapidly in contact with fer- menting matters. They should be broken up and placed in a compact compost heap with ashes, then covered with a thick layer of earth and the mass kept moist. It is better if moistened with liquid manure. 0“an Waggon-‘Vlreelc.

This is the work of- a small pam- sitic worm which burrows in the skin and causes It to loosen in scales. It can be cured easily and effectually by rubbing the legs of affected fowls with the following mixture : A tablespooniul of petroleum and 9. half ounce of lard thoroughly min- gled. Four or five applications during five weeks will generally clean the legs of scales, The petroleum whitens the skin for a. time, and sulphur may be substituted for the oil, being just as efficacious in killing the pars.- site and not discolorng the skin of fowls. The career of St. Gratien, who divided the Derby after a dead heat with Harvester, affords a remarkable illustration of the vicissitudes of a race horse. In addition to doubtful and unfashionable parentage he was such a mean, common-looking year- ling that his breeder ordered his trainer to sell the colt by auction during one of the autumn meetings at N ewmarket, soon after he was broken. The colt had previously been offered for sale privately at £100 to several people at Newmarket, including Hayhoe (Mr. Rothschild‘s trainer), who consented to take the youngster in liquida- tion of an account of £50, but declined to give the “century.” .As Sherwood had only two or three horses at the time. he consented to train the colt at 30 shillings a week. instead of at the standard charge of 50 shillings. on condition that Major Bruce made it up to him it St. Gatien turned out well. He won all the three races for which he started at 2 years old, and as his owner continued anxious to sell, St. Galien was purchased by Mr. Hammond for £1,400 during the winter, with a contingency of " another thousand ” it he won the Derbyl Har- vester. on the other hand, cost 8,600 guineas at auction only a month before the Derby, and the dead heat between the pair has been waggishly compared to Herring’s well known pictures of " St. Giles and St. James.” Sir John Willoughby is an officer in the Guards, but unlike the MacNabs. who boast of the possession of a boat of their own at the flood, Mr. Hammond began life in Golding‘s stable at Newmarket. From that employment he worked his way into the position of confidential commis- sioner to many of the trainers and jockeys at Newmarketâ€"a vein of racing one which has secured him a fortuneâ€"London World. An Englishman who has given great attention to the manufacture of sugar in different countries thinks its production in Great Britain and the United States will never be profitable if the beet is relied on to furnish the saccharine material. He says that the steaming process, which has been tried one. large scale in Germany, has disappointed the hopes entertained respecting it. One of the most singular figures in the House of Lords is Lord Henry Lennox, who was announced for some time in the society journals as aflianced to Mrs. Hicks Lord, and who has recently married another very wealthy widow. He has been known as the Spider from as far back as 1852, when he was private secretary to Disraeli on his first assumption of office, and acted as his cup bearer, supplying him with draughts of port wine to sustain him in his memorable speech in defence of his first budget. The Spider combines the age of 63 with the vivacity, not to say the vanity, o! 20. He recalls Mr. Dombey’s noble relative, Cousin Feem'a: ; he also recalls Lord Verisopht, and makes a distinct suggestion of Dundrem‘y. His patent leather boots are the nattiest in the House; his clothes are of the cut of the most accomplished masher ; his hair.whioh is of a lovely brown â€"what there is of itâ€"is parted down the middle; his manners have the repose becoming the Deveres and people of that class. In short, Lord Henry is at all times and under all circumstances an interesting object and an instructive study, deserving the observation of American visitors to the House. ‘ It is found in practice that beans are not a good crop to precede wheat. One'reason possibly is that they leave the soil in too loose a condition. to: the roots will not hold in winter. But the chief objection to beans as a fallow crop is that they rob the soil of precisely the food that the wheat plant requiresâ€"phosphate and nitrogen. Farm- ers who grow beans this summer should save their land for spring grain, which will give opportunity for more plant food to accumulate before the pests are started in search of it. The recent increase of birds in the vicin- ity of Chicago is remarkable. In many localities-bobolinks have become almost as plenty as they are in the New England States. though they were very scarce only atew years ago. The robin»redbreast is also increasing very fast. During the past few years crows have put in an appearance. The Port Elgin Free Press sags: A couple of weeks ago Capt. W. H. McLeod, who is running one of the fishing boats belonging to Mr. D. McLeod, an extensive fish dealer in Southampton, caught an iml mense salmon trout, weighing 80 pounds. measuring from the point of its nose to the end of its tail 5 feet, 2 inches, and around the thickest part of its body 34 inches. The head was 10 inches in length, and the width of the tail, from pomt to point, was 12 inches. This is the largest fish of this species ever caught here and Mr. D. Mc- Leod may well feel proud of having caught such a grand specimen 0! the finny tribe. The monster was packed in ice and con- signed to Mr. Furey, of Woodstock, where it is now held for exhibition, and is after- wards to be preserved and placed in the museum in Rochester, N. Y. In Sweden, when severnldairy farms are located on lakes or navigable streams, the milk is collected and taken to factories by persons who run small boats. Milk is injured less by being carried on the water than over the land, even if the roads are good and the carrluges are provided with springs. The laziest man is on a Western paper.

" amount of grease; but if this matter is not attended to it will be used up in five or six years. Lard should never be used in a waggon, for it will penetrate the hub and work its way out around the tenons of the spokes and wheel. Tallow is the best lubricrator for wooden axle trees and oastor oil for iron hubs, but many of the present axle greases are also excellent and have the merit of being cheaper and easier to handle. Just grease enough should be applied to the spindle of a waggon to give it a slight coating. This is better than more, for the surplus put on will work out at the ends and be forced by the shoulder bands and nut washer into the hub around the outside of the boxes. To oil an iron axle'tree, first wipe the spindle clean with a piece of cloth wet with spirits of turpen- tine, and then apply a few drops of castor oil near, the shoulder and end. One tea- spoonful IB sufficient for the whole. Other Rural Notes. John Norris, of Winterset, Iowa, has a yearling colt weighing 1,300 pounds that he has been working since it was 10 months old.
