Tho larg- I est stood about six feet high, with a girth of fon feet ; and tho weight of tho animals was 3.S00 pounds, 8;320 pounds, 3,400 pounds, tout 3,440 poubds, respectively; their pro portions being good- notwithstanding their onortnous size The aggregate gain iu weight during tho soason of 1869 was 1,4G0 pounds. Tho net beef weight of tho larger pair after slaughter, was 4,537 pounds, exceeding, io is claimed, that of any othor pair of beeves over fattened. Their avorago weight at tho ago of three years was 1,850 pounds. After attaining this ago, each received daily peck of corn moal nnd whoat shorts, or oatmeal, combined, divided iuto two feeds, and, as dessert, a peck of sugar beets twico a day. In the summer, until lately, their only feed was grass supplo ftventcd with a little sweet hay. The second winter tho daily feed of meal was increased to ten quarts each, given in two feeds. In tho summer of 1S69, each received ono peck of moal per day, given at morning and at riight; aud in the'winter following, twelve quarts of meal daily, in three feeds, besides roots. In their course of feeding they have had, in winter, tho best of early cut hay from old meadows, and havo usually had access to it in summer. Thoy woro not closely cou fincd in wiutcr, usually haviog the run. of a small yard, with accese to water, and with sheds under which they could lio protected from storms, and were tied at feeding time. It is Mr. Ayrault's opinion that when cat tlo aro fattening and it is desired to give them nil tho graiu thoy will oat without being clog ged*, -it is important to focd three times a day ; and ho considers beets, or their equivalent, essential in wintor in promoting tho growth of grain-fed cattle. He does not advise heavy feeding for beef until animals are well grown, Iiis practico being to maintain his wtook in merely thrifty condition until they roach the age of thrco years. A committee of tho Farmers' Club, Ameri can Institute, reporting on thcso cattle, state that they find that tho only profit arising from tho last year's growth of the auimals lay in tho iucrcascd or "fancy" rates obtained on ncoount of magnitude, and that, in Mr. Ayrauh':! judgment, five years is the ago at which fattened cattlo will givo the greatest profit to tho feeder.

Miss Logat? givos iustanoos of many no trcssos who havo oaptivatod rioh and titled suitors by their boauty aud olevcrnoss.'? Among tuo stories that she quotos on this point, tho most interesting is that of Miss Mondoll, a Gorman actress. Wo j?ivo tho romautio history as wo fiud it related iu hef book : 'It is said that sho was tho most lovely woman in Germany, her beauty being of tho truo German typox<of tho peculiar fairness be hold in no other country?golden hair, in soft, silky masses, without tho smallest tingo of uuburu?pure gold?unburoishod ) a com plexion scarcely scon in naturo, aud almost impossiblo to produco by artilicial means ; lips of deep carnation ; teoth small and ex quisitely white, and eyobrows of tho darkest brown, with eyes of tho deepest huo. All this mado such an impression ou tho heart of tho Duke Louis of Ravaria, that from tho moment ho first behold her at tho Munich Theatre ho Yowcd himself to tho worship of this ono idol. Rut Madomoiscllo Mcudcll was valiant in dofonce of her reputation, and resisted every overture, even that of marriago, on tho part of tho Duke, well knowing that it was almost out of hia powor to coutractnny allianco of the kind, as much was expected of him by his family. At that timo M'Ho Moudell was in tho habit of wearing a vclvot collar, with a clasp ornamented by a singlo pearl of great value, whioh had becu presen ted to her by tho King of Saxony, and in or der to quell all hopo, of success in tho bosom of her ducal admirer, sho declared to him ono day that sho had mado a vow to bestow her heart and hand on him alono who could match this single pearl with its many others as would form the wholo necklace. "Tho declaration was made laughingly, for tho fair orcaturo kuew well enough that Mie Duke, living fully up to his income, could never accomplish tho herculean ia3k. Soon afterward she heard that the Duko had sold his horses, broke up his establishment, and gone to livo in strict retirement in a small cottage belonging to his brother's park. That very night, when about to placo the velvet band upon her neck, sho found, to her groat surprise, that the second pearl had been added to tho clasp. She knew well enough whence it came, and smiled sadly nt the loss of labor she felt sure mat Duke Louis was incurring for love's sake. Ry degrees the velvet ban 1 became covered with pearls, all of thorn as hue as tho one bestowed by the King of Sax ony, until one eveniug groat was tho rumor iu Augsburg, tho fair Mcndcll had been rob bed ; while on tho stage, divested of orna ment, in tho prison sceno, as liottinn von Armstcdt, her dressing room had been enter ed, and the velvet collar, with its row of priceless pearls, had disappeared from' the toilet table. Tho event was so terrible, her nerves so shaken, that iu spito of the assurance of the chief of polico magistrate, who hap pened to bo in tho theatre at tho moment, that he was suro to find the thief in a very shprt time; for ho had the oluc already, poor M'Ho Mcndcll was so overcome by grief that her memory failed her entirely, so that on re turning to the .stage not a word could she re member of her part. The audience waited for some time in astonishment at tho silence maintained by tho actress, who gazed at the audionoo in piteous embarrassment, until by a suddcu inspiration and almost mcchauically, indeed, she remembered she had the rehear sal copy of the play iu the pocket of her apron. She drew it forth without hesitation, and began to read from it. At first tho au dience knew not whether to laug' or be an gry, but presently, pathos, forgctfulncss of all but her art had returned to M'lle Mcndcll, and in tho utterance of ono of tho most im .passioned sentiments of her speech, sho fiung the rehearsal copy into the orchestra, and went on with her part without pause or hesi tation. The applause of the audience was so tremendous that one of the witnesses of the scene lias told us that tho monster chandelier in the centre of the roof swung to and fro with the vibration. Dut on her return to the dressing room the excitement proved too much for her, and she fainted away. On coming back to consciousness, it was to find Duko Louis at her feet, and the commissaire standing by her side bidding her tako cour ago for the pearls had been found. 'Arc you sure that none arc missing ? Have none been stolen?' Duko Louis then clasped round her neck tho string of pearls, complete at last, no longer sewn on tho velvet band, but strung with symmetry, end fastened with a diamond clasp. What moro could bo dono by tho devoted i?ver ? Ilo had spared nei ther pains nor sacrifice to attain his end', and M'llo Mcndcll consented to become his wife. Tho Emperor of Austria appears to have been much moved by the story, and sugges ted the nomination of tho bride elect to tho title of Baroness do Walloreee, which thus equalizes the ranks of tho fiances and enabled ,thorn to marry without difficulty. They livo tho most retired life pos^iblo, in their little chateau on Lake Stahnbcrg. They say that tho Duchess Louiso, of Bavaria, never puts off, night or day, tho necklace of pearls, tho clasp of which is ri vetted to her neck, and that in consequence of this peculiarity, olio a known"all through tho country round by the name of tho Fairy Perlina,, from the old Ger man talo of tho 'Magic Pearl.' n On the ST?Y.?Tho following good story is told by a gentleman who went to visit somo friends io Iowa : Tho family consisted of the husband, his wife, and two grown com. The good old lady was tho only ono of tho family who did not tako a little of tho "O bo joyful." Sitting by tho firo a few minutes, the old man- tipped him tho wink, and the visitor followed him out. Stopping by a treo, ho pulled out long neoked bottle, remarking, "I havo to keep this hid, for the boys might get to drinking, and the old woman would raise tho devil." They took a drink and returned to tho fireside. Soon Tom, the eldest son, asked tho visitor out to seo colt, and taking him behind tho barn, nulled out flask, remark ing, "I have to keep this hid, for the old man will get drunk,and tho dovil is to pay;" and they both took a driuk and returned.? Soon Dob stepped on tlio visitor's too and walked off, the visitor following. As they readied tho pig pen, Dob drew out o good sized bottle,*remarking, "You know tho old man and'Tom will got drunk, and I flavo to hide thi?." Tho visitor concluded ho could not stand it to ?rink confidentially against tho wholo family, and started for homo. 0&* Tho Central Jiaplht states, on tho authority of an engineer in tho United States service, thabthe cxaot centre of tho Ropublio, I as noarly ae oould bo oalculatod, is at Fort I Rlloy, on tho Kansas Puoifio railroad?a point 433 miles west- of St. Louis. 3 Mountains oi Scripture. Mount Ararat, whereon, soya Moses, tho ark rested, consists of two peaks, separated by a valley. Tho great Ararat rises to a height of 17,210 feet from tho level Of tho sea, and tho lesser or littlo Ararat, to 13,000. Tho Groat Ararat-was ascended, after groat toil, by Professor Parrot, in 1829; probably then pressed by tho foot of mau for tho lirat timo sineo Noah. Carme), tho scono of tho trial betweou ft-lijah and tho worshippers of iiunl, as to whether Jehovah or Baal was God, is tho general name of a rango of hills extending north-west from tho plain of Esdraclon, aud .Hiding iu a bold promoutory on the shoro of Mcditorrauean, forming tho bay of Aoro.? l'ho extent of the rango is six miles, und tho greatest height 1,500 foot. Mount Ebal and Gerizi, in Samnr*o-f riso ?bout 800 foot, having a valley about 150 sacos wido betweon. On these hills was per ormed tho grand ccromouy, on tho Israelites gaining possession of tho land of promise, for .v h ioli Moses had loft directions. Six tribes nroro placed upon Mount Gcriziin to bless the icople and six upon Mount Ebal to curse. In attor times the Samaritans built a templo ou Mount Gcrizim, and tho Suuiaritaus still re gard it as holy grouud. Mount Hor, on tho summit of which Aaron lied, is situated in Arabia Potrea; on tho con fines of Idumca, aud rises to the elevation of 3,000 feet. Lebanon, whose renowned "cedars" arc many times alluded to, is tho name applied in Scripture to both tho Libali us and .mti Libanus mountains, two parallel ranges, run ling from nouth cast to south-west, on the lorthcrn shores of Palestine. Tho average leight of the range is about 10,000 foot. Mount Moriah, one of tho h?ls upon which leriisalom was built of old, nnd the site of Solomon's temple, and tho present Mosque >f Omer, is about 2,000 feet above the level )f the Mediterranean, and separated from tho Mount of Olives by tho narrow valley of Jchoshaphat. The Mount of Olives, sacred as the fro [ucnt resort of the Saviour for meditation ind prayer, derived its name from the hum jer and beauty of its olive-trees. It rises ibout 500 feet above its opposite neighbor Moriah, and is the place of burial of the Jews. Mount Sinai, whero "the Lord descended fire," and gave tho commandments to Mos 3s, is a wild, desolate region of granite peaks ind precipices; deep ravines sind water-cours es. Its height is 7,000 feet, and tho length )f tho whole range is three miles. Mount Tabor is a beautiful mountain, stand ng alone on the north-border of the plain of Ksdraelon, south from Nazareth. To this fill tradition points as the spot hollowed br illo transfiguration of our Lord ; and this event is still yearly celebrated there by the Latin and Greek churches. Mount Zion, many times alluded to in Scripture, as tho "holy hill," "beautiful for situation," etc , was one of the four hills up )U which ancient Jerusalem was built. It is rather lower than Olivet, surrounded by the ralloys of Ilinnon and Johoshaphot; and at ine timo formed the citadel or heart of the %? _^ IIottttiNLK C a r, a .?About four d'cIocIc yesterday afternoon our entire commu nity was started by the report that a building on King street had fallen and buried several persons beneath it ruins. Nearly all the male citizens crowded to- the ppo? ludica ted by the report, to find that they were partially true, and to be gratified that the damage to life and limb was not as great as the reports had induced them to believe. Several mouths ago the store on tho west dde of King, and fourth door south of Beau fain street, was destroyed by fire, only the walls and some charred rafters remaining.? A short time since laborers commended the work of rebuilding, and were rapidly progr?s* sing. About four o'clock yesterday afternoon, the walls tumbled in with a crash, and almost buried in the mass of timbers and bricks Lewis Perkins, colored, Patrick ami Joseph (Jttllcton and Jacob Nelson badly wounded, receiving bruises and cuts in all portions of their bodies. Mr. Patrick Cullcton was only slightly injured. Others of the workmen were also slightly wounded. It seems a mat ter of imposibility that any of the workmen employed about the building could have es caped, and for a longtime tho impression pre vailed that there were several of them dead in the ruins. There were numerous reports regarding the cause of the accident, and by many criminal carelessness was imputed to those connected with the work.

Tho result is, tho stomaoh is ovortaxed, tho liver and bowols obstructed, und tho blood deteriorates. Tho true method to bo obicrved in such oases is, on tho approach of spring, to oat less food, and that of a milder naturo. Tho brown broad should take tho place of tho whito, if. wbito has been used in tho winter. Moro fruit should be taken. Avoid stalo vegetable?. If you havo uot good potatoes, eat nouo, ft poor potatoes aro very unwholesome. If you have good potatoes, bako or boil Cbcm ; eat with fresh cream iustoad of gravy or butter. Uso freely of oanued fruit, or well kept ap ples, at least one meal each day. Avoid fut moat, pastry, cakes, rich puddings and livo simply and naturally. Every family should put by for spring use sudieient good fruit to havo an abundance, of itat tho commencement of warm weather; and as soon as strawberries ripen thoy should bo used freely. Strawberries for thoso who havo attacks of tho disorders incident to spring, arc one of tho best remedies that oan be used. Wo pity tho family that docs not havo them in abundance. Naturo seems to havo piado them on purpose to meet demand of the system in early summer, and wo have known many cases of invalids being greatly improved by their use. Wilson, tho ornithol ogist, was once ordered by an Indian doctor to live on strawberries in order to cure an ob stinate dysentery, and to his surprise ho was cured in in less than a week. Tho tomato, wlrch can bo canned in almost unlimited quantities so as to be frcsli and good in the spring us in autumn, should also be weed freely; not as an occasional luxury, but as a regular article of diet. They arc especially wholesome at this season of the year. A StrAN?E DISEASE.?List Saturday morning Charlea Murtin, a young engraver, nineteen years of age, who resides at tho house of Dr. D. 0.
