Wierd Witches, Strange Lights and Mysterious Messages. There is a superstitious idea with some that horses are witch-ridden. We take no stock in this relic of an ignorant age, but a strange incident that recalls this oft-agitated matter is the fact that for several days the horse of S. B. Cohen, a merchant of this city, has been found in a profuse perspiration in the early morning, with the print of a leg on either side, as if he had been ridden bare-backed. The stable is locked at night and the horse is in his stable at daylight every morning, but for the past few mornings he is panting as if he had just returned from a long jaunt, and is wholly unfit for service during the entire day. Changing the lock on the stable has no effect on the witches. The more ignorant are much agitated over the matter, contending that witches visit his stable, while the intelligent of our community don't understand the mysterious occurrence. A watch has been stationed at the stable.—Madisonian (Oa.) By the roadside, on a high bank of the Licking, near the northern boundary of West Liberty, is a lone grave, a little rude mound, marked by rugged stones at head and foot, but no inscription to inform the passer-by who sleeps beneath. Here lies, awaiting the resurrection, the body of Morris Haggerty, an Irish peddler, who was murdered in this county in 1853. To some Constitutional Amendments There are two other proposed amendments to the Constitution in addition to the one printed in the Gazette two weeks ago, to be ratified or rejected at the next election. They are here given: SECTION 9. A State Board of Equalization, consisting of one member from each Congressional District in this State, as the same existed in eighteen hundred and seventy-nine, shall be elected by the qualified electors of their respective districts, at the general election to be held in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty-six, and at each gubernatorial election thereafter, whose term of office shall be for four years, whose duty it shall be to equalize the valuation of the taxable property in the several counties of the State for the purposes of taxation. The Controller of State shall be ex officio a member of the Board. The Boards of Supervisors of the several counties of the State shall constitute Boards of Equalization for their respective counties, whose duty it shall be to equalize the valuation of the taxable property in the county for the purpose of taxation; provided, such State and County Boards of Equalization are hereby authorized and empowered, under such rules of notice as the County Boards may prescribe, as to the county assessments, and under such rules of notice as the State Board may prescribe as to the action of the State Board, to increase or lower the entire assessment roll, or any assessment contained therein. A SCHOOL FOR COOKING UP WINES. [New York Sun.] Tacked to the right of the door of a little brick house down town is a little black sign, which announces in gilt letters that an institute of "technical chemistry" is within. A pull at the bell brings a broad-shouldered, fine-looking man to the door. The visitor is invited up stairs and into a large room, at one end of which, on shelves and tables, are bottles and bell jars, funnels, and other laboratory glassware. On the wall is a placard, on which is printed: In order to meet a long-needed necessity we have established a school, the object of which will be to instruct pupils in the art of manufacturing wines, liquors, brandies, etc., of all kinds by chemical process at little cost. At a round walnut table sits a short man with a fine forehead and intelligent eyes. "We have established a school," he said to a reporter of the Sun, "where any one may learn to manufacture wine and liquors at a very small cost. They will be just as healthful as the real wines and liquors, and in some instances really better." "Wines and liquors are made up in hundreds of places in the city," the reporter said. "That is so, but the compounds that they concoct are injurious in the extreme. They make brandy from cognac essence, alcohol caramel and syrup. Cognac essence is supposed to be made from the grape. I bought some the other day and tested it. It was a manufactured compound, made up of acetic ether, oil of nerole, oil of bitter almonds, rum flavoring and violet flowers. This shows what their manufactured brandy amounts to. Then the liquor dealers make upliquors with oil and essence at from $4 to $6 a pound. Cognac essence costs $80 a pound." witches visit his stable, while the intelligent of our community don't understand the mysterious occurrence. A watch has been stationed at the stable. —Madisonian (Oa.) By the roadside, on a high bank of the Licking, near the northern boundary of West Liberty, is a lone grave, a little rude mound, marked by rugged stones at head and foot, but no inscription to inform the passer-by who sleeps beneath. Here lies, awaiting the resurrection, the body of Morris Haggerty, an Irish peddler, who was murdered in this county in 1853. To some of our people whose minds are imbued with superstitious notions this spot is of peculiar interest. Rumors of lights seen at night flitting about the place, accompanied by a wierd, spectral form that vanishes in the air, and strange voices, have invested it with all the dread phantasies of a haunted place. Many and strange are the stories told of sights seen and noises heard about this place, and many an archin sits at night with dilated eyes, quickened pulse and "hair on end" as he listens to the stories told of the frightful forms that caper at night about the grave of the murdered pedler. Ridiculous and absurd as it may appear, it is told and believed that the mystic wanderer from that humble grave entered the cottage home of Dr. Thornley, when he resided here, and filched his knife from his pantaloon's pocket and played havoc with his queenaware. It is reported that these stories recently prevented the consummation of a real estate transaction in that vicinity. —West Liberty Scorcher. Jesse Miller, a farmer living in Greenville township, Somerset county, Penn., is ready to swear that his household is afflicted with a witch. Some time ago he found a saddle hanging on a hook by the chimney. He had placed it on the balusters. This occurred three times, and every member of the family accused solemnly declared that they had not touched the saddle. Mr. Miller took it to the woodshed, and again it was displaced. He then removed the saddle to a pewill and spiked it to a standard. It stays there. His wife was washing one day and stepped out of the apartment for a few minutes. Returning she was amazed to find the articles which she had left in the tub thrown about over the floor. Miller was aroused one night by screams in his front yard. He bounded out of bed and rushed out and found his daughter there alone. She had no knowledge of how she got there. Every window and door in the house was locked and bolted as when the young lady went to bed. Twice since she has been spirited out of the house in broad daylight, in the presence of her mother and others. The spirit of darkness that exerts this influence over the young lady is invisible to all others. She describes the witch as resembling an old woman, with heavy locks, hairy face and wearing a white cap. The Miller family is thoroughly terrified, as is the entire community. Miller intends to leave the locality as soon as possible. Superiors of the several counties of the State shall constitute Boards of Equalization for their respective counties, whose duty it shall be to equalize the valuation of the taxable property in the county for the purpose of taxation; provided, such State and County Boards of Equalization are hereby authorized and empowered, under such rules of notice as the County Boards may prescribe, as to the county assessments, and under such rules of notice as the State Board may prescribe as to the action of the State Board, to increase or lower the entire assessment roll, or any assessment contained therein, so as to equalize the assessment of the property contained in said assessment roll, and make the assessment conform to the true value in money of the property contained in said roll; provided, that no Board of Equalization shall raise any mortgage, deeds of trust, contract or other obligation by which a debt is secured, money or solvent credits, above its face value. The present State Board of Equalization shall continue in office until their successors, as herein provided for, shall be elected and shall qualify. The Legislature shall have power to redistrict the State into four districts as nearly equal in population as practical, and to provide for the elections of members of said Board of Equalization. Section 19. In any city where there are no public works owned and controlled by the municipality for supplying the same with water or artificial light, any individual or any company, duly incorporated for such purpose under and by authority of the laws of this State, shall, under the direction of the Superintendent of Streets, or other officer in control thereof, and under such general regulations as the municipality may prescribe for damages, have the privilege of using the public streets and thoroughfares thereof, and of laying down pipes and conduits therein, and connections therewith, so far as may be necessary for introducing into and supplying such city and its inhabitants either with gaulight or other illuminating light, or with fresh water for domestic and all other purposes, upon the condition that the municipal government shall have the right to regulate the charges thereof. Misplaced Sympathy A few days ago a Detroiter and his wife were making a trip through the State Prison at Jackson, and both were much impressed with the countenance of a certain convict in one of the shops. He looked so melancholy and down-hearted that the lady's sympathies were strongly aroused, and the gentleman was certain that he could discover evidences that the man had a great deal of moral worth in his character. One of the guards was appealed to for information, and he replied: "Yes, he is very well behaved—one of the best in the prison." He seems sorry for his offense," observed the lady. "Yes I'm." And I know he would be honest if parodied," added the man. The work upon the foundation of the great statue of Liberty on Bedloe's Island, New York harbor, has proceeded so far the concrete footing is now complete, and the first courses of granite will be laid in a few weeks. According to an account in the last issue of the American Architect, the concrete base, as finished, weighs 24,000 tons, and is said to be the largest mass of artificial stone above the ground in the world. The form of the base is that of a stepped pyramid, ninety-one feet square at the bottom and sixty-seven feet at the top, the sides falling back in steps, each three feet high. The pyramid is entirely solid, with the exception of two arched passageways, each ten feet wide, which pass through it at right angles to each other, forming a square chamber at the center, which is continued vertically upwards to the top. An extension of the inner shaft will occupy the middle of the granite superstructure, and will knowledge of how she got there. Every window and door in the house was locked and bolted as when the young lady went to bed. Twice since she has been spirited out of the house in broad daylight, in the presence of her mother and others. The spirit of darkness that exerts this influence over the young lady is invisible to all others. She describes the witch as resembling an old woman, with heavy locks, hairy face and wearing a white cap. The Miller family is thoroughly terrified, as is the entire community. Miller intends to leave the locality as soon as possible. Meanwhile he has been in Myersdale in quest of a witch doctor, to make the place tolerable for a short time at least. He is firm in his witch belief. —Pittsburg Leader. A correspondent says the latest sensation in Shenandoah is the presence of a genuine ghost. Mr. and Mrs. David Williams, on East Center street, have both died recently, and about three weeks ago a night-watchman at one of the collieries, named McNelis, was coming home at an early hour in the morning, when he met a figure clothed in white emerging from their late residence. He nailed it, but received no answer. Being a man of pluck, he sprang forward to seize it, and, as if by magic, it eluded his grasp and vanished. Subsequently a belated traveler returning with a team from Mahanoy City, while passing the house, saw a white-robed form start up from the ground and walk rapidly off in front of his horse. He urged his horse on, but the "ghost" still kept in advance. After pursuing it some distance, the driver saw the "spirit" turn a corner, and before he could reach the point it vanished from sight. Last week a young lady, more courageous than the rest of her sex, on a banter from some companions undertook to take a walk through the house after dark. Scarcely, however, had she stepped a foot across its threshold when a tall figure rose at her very side, attired in the ghostly white. She screamed and fainted. Her companions, who were awaiting developments outside, rushed to her aid, but when they entered the house the spirit was gone. It has been seen at various times since, but never has been corrupted so as to clear up the mystery of its appearance and strange disappearance. Superstitious people maintain it to be the ghost of old Williams, restless because of some worldly misdeeds. Others, more sensible, regard it as a shrewd disguise under which some avaricious individual is searching for the hidden thousands of the dead miser. Rev. A. B. Lawrence, pastor Second Presbyterian church, Winston, North Carolina, writes, he thinks it his duty to state, that having suffered several years with inflammatory rheumatism, and having tried in vain all other remedies, he was induced to try St. Jacobs Oil, the marvelous pain-cure, which, after continued use, cured him entirely. According to an account in the last issue of the American Architect, the concrete base, as finished, weighs 24,000 tons, and is said to be the largest mass of artificial stone above the ground in the world. The form of the base is that of a stepped pyramid, ninety-one feet square at the bottom and sixty-seven feet at the top, the sides falling back in steps, each three feet high. The pyramid is entirely solid, with the exception of two arched passageways, each ten feet wide, which pass through it at right angles to each other, forming a square chamber at the center, which is continued vertically upwards to the top. An extension of the inner shaft will occupy the middle of the granite superstructure, and will connect directly with the cavity in the statue, so that an elevator can run, as is intended, from the ground line to the head of the figure, a distance of 350 feet. The concrete block itself being rather unsightly in appearance, will be concealed when the work is finished by a vaulted passageway which is to be built around it, and covered with earth and grass, so that the granite upper portion of the pedestal will appear to stand on a low pyramid of earth covered with soil and occupying the whole space now inclosed with the stone walls of the redoubt, in the center of which the statue is to be erected. The vaulted passageway, which should rather be called a series of rooms, is thirty-five feet wide and thirty-five feet high, all formed of concrete half-arches leaning again the main concrete mass. Although in a measure protected by the covering of earth and grass, these concrete vaults will be in a position very trying to artificial stone, and if they resist the effects of the weather, to which they will be somewhat exposed, the engineer who designs and constructs them will have reason to be proud of his skill. Flying. Richard A. Proctor, the scientific lecturer, has expressed the belief that if the full power of the arms and legs can be so applied to ingeniously arranged mechanism as to work wings more or less resembling those of a bird, there is little reason of doubting man's power of sustaining himself in the air, and even traveling with great rapidity through it. Probably, he adds, it will be much easier for him to sustain himself while traveling rapidly onward than while hovering over the same spot. For its soothing and grateful influence on the scalp, and for the removal and prevention of dandruff, Ayer's Hair Vigor has no equal. It restores faded or gray hair to its original dark color; stimulates the growth of the hair; and gives it a beautiful, soft, glossy and silken appearance. It is said that fifty Canadian newspapers have declared in favor of independence. Annexation finds but few advocates. GAZETTE. AUGUST 9, 1884. FOR COOKING UP JENES. The Albany Evening Journal, in the course of an article upon the overcrowding of the legal profession, presents some figures which are fairly startling. It affirms that there are 10,000 lawyers in the State of New York alone, while in all Great Britain and Ireland, with a population of nearly 37,000,000, there are only about 12,000 lawyers. In the United States, with a population in round numbers of 50,000,000, there are 65,000 lawyers, and the number steadily increasing every year. To sum it up, there is one lawyer to every 3,000 people in Great Britain and one to every 800 in the United States. That there is work enough of a legitimate kind for all these lawyers it is absurd to claim. It is impossible for them all to make an honest living. There are some wealthy lawyers, and these are the most eminent, but they are few. The larger class make a fair living, and there are numerous others whose only hope of success is in stirring up litigation out of which they may get stealings. Every city is flooded with hordes of seedy, shifftless shysters, who hang around court rooms to pick up cases and make small fees out of poor and foolish clients by various tricks and devises. They are notoriously dishonest. They may not have been so at first, but they are forced into it because there is not honest work enough for them to do. They are sharp, shrewd men, and their poverty makes them still sharper in manufacturing a business which does not legitimately exist. They do it by exciting the cupidity or revenge of clients, and when once they have inveigled them into litigation they keep them in by every trick and technicality known to their cunning invention that will prolong their cases. The result is that a large portion of the large garden blackberries are a novelty and are highly esteemed. Put the fresh berries in a jar, a layer in the bottom first with cinnamon and cloves scattered over them, then put another layer of berries; and continue in this way until the jar is nearly full; then pour over them a syrup made of two cups of vinegar and about four cups of sugar; first heat it to a boiling point, and then pour it into the jar. Let it stand from one morning until the next; then pour berries and syrup into a preserving kettle and let them boil slowly for nearly half an hour. Be the compounds that they in the extreme.

Novel Plan for Producing Diamonds To transmute the baser form of carbon into the priciest diamond has been the dream of chemists for ages. The latest enthusiast in this field has gone to the trouble of erecting quite an extensive apparatus, by which, with the help of a force of nature, in the manifestation of a flash of lightning, he hopes to attain some tangible result. The experimentor, who is a correspondent of English Mechanics, described his device as follows in a recent issue of that publication: "If a source of heat could be obtained of sufficient intensity to liquefy carbon or charcoal," he asks, "would it on cooling assume the same crystallized form as glass? The question is, how can a heat be obtained some thousand times greater than can be produced by any quantity of galvanic cells or dynamo machines? I propose to use a flash of lightning in the following manner: I have erected in my garden a long iron conductor attached to a wooden spar firmly fixed in the ground, and three wide ropes as stays. This is about forty feet high, and the conductor extends twenty feet above it. On the top of the conductor is fixed a copper ball eight inches in diameter; the rod is attached to the spar by iron clamps insulated with gutta-percha. The rod is bent about two feet from the ground, leading into a wooden box containing a tube of biscuit earthenware, and about one inch inside diameter and one foot long. The end of the rod is connected to a piece of copper wire inch thick, and passes about one inch into the end of the tubes. The other end has a shiftless shysters, who hang around court rooms to pick up cases and make small fees out of poor and foolish clients by various tricks and devices. They may not have been so at first, but they are forced into it because there is not honest work enough for them to do. They are sharp, shrewd men, and their poverty makes them still sharper in manufacturing a business which does not legitimately exist. They do it by exciting the cupidity or revenge of clients, and when once they have inveigled them into litigation they keep them in every trick and technicality known to their cunning invention that will prolong their cases. The result is that a large portion of the law business in the country is fictitious and artificial, and would never appear upon the dockets of courts if it had not dragged there neck and heels by these cunning shysters. If one-halt of the lawyers were compelled to take down their shingles and go into some other business it would be a blessing to the public and would save thousands of dollars to poor men who are now urged into litigation by these conscienceless mischief makers upon promises of large profit. Every lawyer of prominence knows that his profession is crowded with those fellows, and he knows equally well that their efforts tend to bring the profession into disgrace. He also knows that they can not make a living honestly. The law is not the only profession that is overcrowded. Medicine is equally disgraced. Its ranks are filled with quacks. For every honest, learned physician, there are half dozen dishonest and ignorant ones. They do not make so much money perhaps as the legal shysters, but they are a more dangerous class, as they have the lives of their patients in their hands, and it is no matter to them whether they are sacrificed or not, provided they get their fees. The clerical profession is too full, but it is not overcrowded, for ignorance in the pulpit invites certain poverty and there are no tricks by which a poor, ignorant clergyman can ever hope to enrich himself.

They do not make so much money perhaps as the legal shysters, but they are a more dangerous class, as they have the lives of their patients in their hands,and it is no matter to them whether they are sacrificed or not, provided they get their fees. The clerical profession is too full, but it is not overcrowded, for ignorance in the pulpit invites certain poverty and there are no tricks by which a poor, ignorant clergyman can ever hope to enrich himself. BlackBerry Pickles.-Pickles made of the large garden blackberries are a novelty and are highly esteemed. Put the fresh berries in a jar,a layer in the bottom first with cinnamon and cloves scattered over them, then put another layer of berries; and continue in this way until the jar is nearly full; then pour over them a syrup made of two cups of vinegar and about four cups of sugar; first heat this to a boiling point,and then pour it into the jar. Let it stand from one morning until the next; then pour berries and syrup into preserving kettle and let them boil slowly for nearly half an hour. Be careful to let them cook slowly,and do not break them when stirring. Baltimore Chicken.-A Newport correspondent asks how to fry a chicken la la Baltimore. The ideal chicken for this dish is young and tender,and unless it is so really these directions are vain.Put the frying-pan-and it should be a deep one-on the stove,vith a large tablespoonful of lard and one butter,after cutting the chicken up in the usual way.Wwhen the fat is hot lay the chicken in,sprinkle pepper and salt and flour over it;the flour should be dested over it through a fine sifter;cover the frying pan,and let the chicken cook slowly but steadily;when one side is a delicate brown turn the chicken and sprinkle salt,p pepper and flour over this side also;ifthe fat is absorbed add enough to keep the chicken from burning.Half to three-quarters of an hour is enough to cook the chicken.Make a rich gravy in la pan;brown it well.F if it is your pleasure to add peasant mushrooms,p put them in your gravity just before serving.The are of course to be cooked first.F you use canned ones heat them before adding them to the gravy.Pour the gravy around the chicken on a platter. Crab-Apple Preserves.-I remember as if it were a treat of yesterday,the delicious crab-apple preserves which,with a slice of grandmother's bread and butter,made up a lunch of great merit for the children.I found out last summer just how she preserved this sometimes despised fruit.After looking apples over to see that no wormy ones were put in,and also pick off the remains of the blossoms,she rinsed them off.Then，leaving stems on,she weighed them,and to one pound of fruit allowed three quarters of a pound of sugar.The apples were then put into a preserving kettle with enough water nearly to cover themWhen she skin was tender so that it could be pierced with no effort,the apples were taken out and a syrup made with this same water and sugar When the syrup reachedthe boiling pointthe apples were put back intothe kettleandthe whole allowedto simmer untilthe apples were thoroughly cooked和looked clear.In grandmother's day this was put into jars,because process so universalin our timeisa vast improvement,for althoughthe fruit wouldkeep,"more or less thought mustbeto it insure its not "working."

An few advocates. Dr. Keeck, Medical Officer of Health, London, says in the Sanitary Record: "I venture to suggest that in all schools under government inspection the elder children should be regularly taught a course of simple lessons on the prominent symptoms of infectious diseases, the dangers to be expected, and how to avoid them, the ways in which infection is spread and how to prevent it, the common defects in house sanitation and how to detect them with the pollution of air, food, and water, and the dangers of damp and overcrowding on the constitution." At the present time the United States turns out more manufactured products than any other nation in the world, the total in 1880, as given, being $5,500,000,000, while those of Great Britain were valued at $4,091,500,000 in 1882. By the same authority the total industries of the United States in 1880 were $11,405,000,000, those of Great Britain $9,200,000,000, those of France $6,840,000,000, those of Germany $6,500,000,-000, and those of Russia $4,650,000,000. An English judge has given it as his decision, that a person, who burns, instead of burning the law, if the laws of health are complied with. This has been hailed with joy by the cremation society, which is pushing on its work with great energy. It is thought that no further legal opposition will be met with. A Somnambulistic Wonder. The residents of a little village not far distant from Montreal are greatly excited over the strange actions of a young lady who is at present stopping at the residence of her uncle. It appears that within the past few months she has exhibited all the symptoms of somnambulism. While apparently sleep she would rise, and with her eyes tightly closed, walk down stairs in perfect safety. It was found that after performing these singular feats she would return to her bed, and on awakening in the morning could not recall the circumstance to mind. A short time ago her friends, who regard her present state with great anxiety, tried an experiment. One evening recently, when she was found walking in her sleep, a gentleman procuring pen and paper, requested her to write a letter. She obeyed mechanically, and sitting down wrote a note to an absent friend, correct in every respect, although her eyes at the same time were closed. A singular fact was that the writing throughout was excellent; the words being written precisely along the lines. At times she converses while in this state quite freely and correctly. Recently, though exhibiting the same symptoms, she has kept her eyes open, which, however, only give a vacant stare. On one occasion while starting out for a drive she became unconscious and the next moment revived, only to be found in her old state. She was asked to drive, and at the bidding of a friend took the reins. On returning home she became herself again, and when acquainted with her strange actions, felt greatly surprised. The young lady is about 18 years of age. Several doctors have expressed themselves as pussled with the case, and she will be taken to Boston to visit some of the lights of the medical profession to see if any relief can be afforded. It is reported that a ruby found in Clay county, N.C., was sold by the finder for $15, then for $3,000, and after being cut by a lapidary, for $18,000.
