iS i A ANKE Whe Peculiar Transactions of a. Wealthy Cincinnati Man. Ali the cranks are not in Washington. The gymnastics of a piece of home talent have been entertaining several Cincinnati merchants and tradesmen for weeks past, much to the profit of some.

They next visited the house of a widow. rushing, after the front door had been opened, into the bed-room where the woman, with her unmarried daughter and another girl was in bed. They called on her to opena box in the room. She promised to com- ply if they retired for a moment and allowed herself or daughter to get up and dre: They refused, and the daughter had dress herself as well as she couid bed in their presence, and then up and open the box.

A well was dug, above it a shrine was erected, and the water was consecrated. The pastor of the church as- snred his people that there was no miraculous power or even medical virtne in the water, and that ifany cures had been effected they were simply the resnit of faith in God. But the ple would not accept the expianation, and the Stories of the remarkable virtues of the water that he ma¢ spread rapidly.

Dr. E. L. Griffin, the manager of the vaccine virus farm at Fond du Lac, was in the city yes- terday to purchase new stock. He secured two car loads of last spring’s heifers—ninety-six in number—Just in from Cayuga county, N. Y. In an interview the doctor said that he had sold between 60,000 and 70,000 points within the past fourteen days, there having been an unpre- cedented demand for them. He reported a fe- verish excitement over sinall-pox throughout the whole northwest. especially in Dakota and Minnesota. He had been wholly unable to su p- ply the demand for points. One reason for this was that, about two weeks ago, some of his heifers failed to make “returns,” and he got no virus from them. He usually obtains about 1,000 points from a single animal by one vacci- nation. The doctor was particular to state that he never revaccinated an animal, all he got no more than fifty points from many, and none from some, a8 already stated. He found that light-colored calves were the best for inocu- jation. He had vaccinated about 1,000 calves since the small-pox season opened.
