August “S, 1878. An Italian Prophet Shot. The Kome correspondent of the London Times gives the following account of the Gros- seto fanatic and tne circumstances of his death: “The Lazzaretti affair has turned pub- lic attention, for a time, completely away from European politics. On the !.ills near Grossete, a little town of from the railway, between Leghorn and Civita Vecchia, a semi-political and religious sect had established itself under David the Saint (as Lazzaretti was called), who declared himself to be Christ come again. rrounded He had chosen twelve apo: tles and, himseif witi a large number of pi required the surrender of all propert: mon benefit and the labor of all alike for the soc.ety, the latter undertaking to maintain them and their families and educate their children. Their creed is an extended para- phrase of the Nicene Creed, with some aitera. tion in a Protestant sense. The other tenets are of a socialistic characier. On the morniu; of the 18th instant, the Prophet, at the aead of! between two thousand and three thousand fo! lowers, started for the villaze of Ar-idosso. His purpose is not known, bat it is sai not peaceful. A hundred believers, white tunies like ancient Jewish priests, i { ihe column.

Uponthis David cried ‘Tam the King,” and ordered his followers to disarm the soldiers. As he spoke, a discharge of firearms was made upon the police, da shower of stones followed. Avain the dele gate gave the requisite warning to di perse, which was followed by the Prophet ain ne a biow at him with the club. Then the police, finding themselves surrounded, opencd fire.

The minister of the interior has Sept a commission to make a full inquivy into the affair. A dispatch by cable last night says that Laz- zaretti ts not dead. WaHisky CURES A RATTLESNAKE BITE.—On Friday last, as George Terhune, a teams: was on his way from this city (Nevada, Cal. to North Bloomfield, and had reached a point just beyond the residence of John Dunn, Selby Eilat, he stopped at a spring by the wa: side to get a drink of water. Stooping, he placed his right hand upon the ground in order to maintain bis equilibrium, when in- stanly a rattlesnake darted out from soma bushes and with its deadly fanz pierced the forefinger on the middle ge r. Terhune killed the rattlesnake, which was three feet in lengih and had eight rattles and one button. Rushing to the wagon, he drew the bung from akeg of whisky that was aboard, and com: menced to drink the contents. He drank all that he cou'd of the strong liquor, and then taking some tobacco from his pocket, satu- rated it with more whisky, making a pou'tice, in which he wrapped the injured hand. He then started the team, and from there until he reached the Kennebec house he continued to drink. There is no doubt but that he imbibed enough of the ardent to set half of Nevada City crazy drunk; but it didn’t have any effecton him. He was as sober as a judge when he reached the last-named place. Then he took ofl the bandage. occasionally stopping for another swallow of whisky. The flesh around the wound had turned gree Then he drank and again replaced the handage. It was no use; the drunk wouldn't come; vut what was much better, the fatal effects of the rattlesnake’s bite had been counteracted. Terhune was in town yesterday. as well and healthy and as sober as ever.—[_Nevada Tran- script. ; BETTER THAN GOLD.—Despite the immense yield of gold in California, it is now sown that her tillable soil produces more actual Wealth than her richest mines. Her grain and her fruits exceed in value the best of her plz cers. Her grape crop this season will be:o very large that preparations are making to convert 1,( tons of grapes into raisins. Most jee think of California as only a gold- bearing cae. and itis pleasant to Know that her agricultural resources are beyond those of her mines. Agriculture is apt to pay better than gold or silver seeking in any fertile, well- cultivated region; but there is a sort of fasci- nation about the precious metals which allures men the world over, and blinds them to tue more rational and legitimate branches o: in- dustry. It is said by those in position to know that not one man in fi ty who has dug for gold on the Pacific slope has procured any consid- eiable amount. The fortune-makers, for the most part, have been, and are still, the specu- ators in San Francisco and Sacramento. Tae vreat majority of men who have gone to Cali- ornia to get gold, from 189 to the present ime, have not, it is declared, secured as much as it cost them to reach there and return. The hardest possible way to obtain gold is to look for it in the ground. It is much easier to get it, ay, by staying away from the mines. . ¥. Times. VosBURGH RETURNING.—All doubts in re gard to the Rey. Mr. Vosburgh’s future pur- pose were set at rest yesterday. The attend- ance at the Madison Avenue Baptist church was unusually large. When Deacon Miller, who procured the signatures to the letter call- ing for Mr. Vosburgh’s resignation, entered the church, it was whispered that Mr. Vos- burgh had concluded to vacate bis pul it, but when the announcement was made that Mr. Vosburgh would oceupy the pulpit next Sun- day and preach in the morning and evening, Deacon Miller and his friends were filled with surprise. Deacon Estey wrote to Mr. Vos- burgh and informed him that the great ma- jority of the congregation still st by him, and that it would be unjust to that majority, who believed that his lee was conducive to the best interests of the church, if he shoald yield to the wishes of a few grumblers. Mr. Vosburgh sent an informal reply, but as the letter is of a private character Deacon Estey declines to make known its contents beyond the fact that Mr. Vosburgh intends to remain in his pulpit until a regular church meeting is held and a fair expression of the will of the congregation is obtained. It is understood that Mr. Vosburgh on Sunday morning will address himself to the differences existing in Lis congregation.—[{ NV. ¥. Herald, 2th. ITH Two Wives took them ‘ict court, at Salt Lake king for ‘naturalization papers for the second wife. She answered af pit oe fl the question whether she was living in ze lygamy, whereupon the district at- torney objected that she was not of good moral character. The objection was sus- tained.

The society devotes considerable money each year in teaching children not to rob birds’ nests. One invention is an instru ment for blunting the teeth of dogs, to pre- vent them from tearing the skin in case of hydrophobia. It appears that there would be no danger to human beings from a dog at tacked with madness if his tee.h could not tear the skin and allow his virus to penetraie the blood. ‘The inventor has so much cont dence in his method that he is wil*ng to lec any mad dog bite at him as much as be likes after the animal's teeth have been blunted. A clever man, who believed that it was cruel to stupify bees before stealing their honey and wax from them, has invented a doable hive, with a room into which the bers, whea they have finished their labors, invariab'y re. tire. A little door is so arranged that it can be closed suddenly upon them, and they can be left to rage at their leisure, while the honey is leisurely withdrawn. THUMB-SUCKING CHILDREN AND IRREGULAR TEETH.—Aside from hereditary congenital de- formity, which may itself have originatcd in this practice, there is no one cause so produe- tive of malformation of the boues of the mouth and irregularity of the teeth as the habit of ‘humb sucking in infancy, the different posi- tions of the thumb giving rise to different kinds of deformity. Generally, on ge} into the mouth ofa hatient brought to him for correction of irr ularity of the teeth, the dentist at once y ceives what has been its cause from the pecu- r features it presents; but at times this special _ma!formation is so disguised by other and more hidden causes that it is difficuit to aistinguish it. In deformity from this cause there is often found in the uppcr portion of the mouth, just back of the incisors, a hollow in the palatal bones.iute which the little victim's thumb has fi and which has itself been moulded by and the thumb. The front teeth are pro- jected forward, sometimes spreading out like u fan, but commonly at an angle, overt: one another, and pushing out the upper lip, elving the lace a prognathous appearance. while the whole upper jaw has a stretched look, as though it hud been drawa out soit and become hardened in that posit indeed is the fact.—[ Medical and Su Journal. INSANE wWiTH Two Banes In HER ARMS.— Aune Bennett, of 440 east 45th street, was seen iy Oficer Butts crouching on a doorstep at 4th street and Sth avenue, last evening. Presced close to her breast was a bab>, nearly sniothered to death by the weight of anojher jid lying asleep on it. The woman, whese f.ce was pinched and haggard, on seeing the officer begged him to proisct her. She said that there had been two men following her for the past two days and nights with long drawn knives, and that they had threatened to kill her. There was one hovering around her only a few moments before, she said. Neither she nor her children had tasted any nourishment for two days. The officer, suspecting that the Woman was insane, summoned assistance. He carried the two children in his arms to the nm, while two officers supported the . Sergeant Little, on examining one of the babes, found it cold and lifeless. A surgeon, alter an hour's hard work, revived the babe. He also said that the woman was insane. She would not sallow her children to be taken away, and Sergeant Little placea her in a room under parol.—{N. sun, 25th. KILLING Rats.—Many of our exchanges are giving currency to the following: “According to the Farmer we are indebted to Baron Von Haekhofen for the publication of a cheap and simple method of extermination, which has been employed by himself and his neighbors for some years past. A mixture of two pai of well bruised common squills and three parts of finely chopped bacon, made intoa stiff mass, with as much meal as may be required, and then baked into small cakes, which are put down for the rats to eat. Several corre- spondents of the German Agricultural Gi- zette write to announce the complete extirpa- tion of rats and mice from their cow-stalls and Piggeries since the adoption of this simple plan.” It is probably because it isan inven- tion of Baron Bake-oven that it obtains so much currency. If it came from poor Heir Schmidt, it would doubtless have remained urknown, for it is an easy thing to pvison rats in America. VEGETABLE Diet vs. MEAT Diet.—Apropos of the Me been controversy, Byron and Shelley, as is well known. both abstained hab itually from meat; and Trelawny, in the re cently republished records, relates that Byron, in bidding good by to him after a ride cne evening in Italy, said:—“ Can't ask you to dine, for my dinner 1s soda water and bi: cuits.” To which Trelawny replied:—* eee the Shelleys. His banquet is less uxurious than yours—bread and unsophisti cated water.” " Walter Scott, on the other hand, who was put on vegetable diet after an illness, says that he was affected during the months the experiment lasted by “‘a want of decision in feeling and acting, an unneces ey eppreheasie, of contingent misfortunes,’ and other nervous symptoms. MORE SUICIDES are committed, in propor- tion to the population. in San Francisco, it is said, than in any other city in civilization. We should think this probable, because San Francisco has more shifting circumstances more fluctuating fortunes, than any plac? that can be named. Very few of her people make qroney in the usual Way, or want to. Many of them despise steady industry and gradual ac. cumulation. The spirit of the community is a gambling one. Men are poor to-day, and rich to-norrow, and poor again. And nothing is So prolific a cause of self-destruction as sud- den Jo:s of property. The manner of living and the mode of doing business in San Fran- ci:co are anything but wholesome. But the town is young; it is intensely and morbidly American. hen it has settled down it wi'l be different. Until then it must be allowed, like a rapid youth, to blow out its brains when and as often as it wants to.—[ NV. ¥. Times. SHOOTING HIMSELF IN THE PRESENCE OF His CutLp.—John Scrieber, a German, thirty- five years old, committed suicide yesterday at 241 Central avenue, pogo! City. Serieber sat in the front room by the window, his little girl playing on the floor. He must have held the revolver so that it pointed downward, for the bullet first struck the right temple and then mg down, jodging. in the neck. He sank ack in the chair, the position showing that death was instantaneous. Scrieber went to Jersey City recentiy from Ch'cago, his brother- in-law paying the expenses of the removal of the Jittle furniture, and for Scrieber’s and his family’s railroad tickets. Yesterday morning Scrieber had some trouble with his mother and g sister, who live in Jersey City, concerning his wife.
