Hell Gate to be opened on Sunday
:—A Precautionary' Order.
New York, Sept. 22.—Gen. Newton, iu a
CHi d to the papers, fixing Hell Gate oxplo-sion
at. 2:50 p. m., Sunday, says : Sheer ne-cessity
has compelled the appointment of
this day, which, In many other respects, is
objectionable. He says space will be form-ed,
having a radius of about six hundred
yards, measured, from Ralletts’ point,
which will be kept clear of boats, and near
the time of explosion. A fter the explosion
vessels should give Halletts’ Point a wide
berth, as tbe surface of that reef may in
points be elevated above its present level.
As, soon as possible after the explosion the
reef \ ill be marked out with buoys. There
willjbe no commotioujof the air, and the un-derground
effect will be sufficient, only' to
jar buildings, without rapturing or crack-ing
them. Persons, at least in the neigh-borheod,
would do well to have all windows
and doors open, and lookout for their
eielings. The best thing to do would be
to stand outside until the explosiou is over.

mysterious Suicide.
Newport, September 22.—A dispatch says
the mysterious suicide on the steamer
“Newport” has at last been identified as
Frank B. Smith, private secretary of the
Secretary of the Navy, instead of Frank
W aeeler, the name given by the deceased
before his death. Just after his departure
from New York being evidently determined
to com rnit the deed, lie forwarded to that
effect to his friend, and infact told him that
he sould commit the deed that very night.
In a note he gave instructions about paying
his just debts, and expressed a wish that the
Fall River authorities might inter his body
before those outside of his friends knew his
real name. A few weeks ago he lost his
sister, which, together with the refusal of a
young lady in New York to reciprocate his
affections ffed his friends to suppose that he
would do something rash.

There are a great many bad men
there and bad whisky. Therefore I don’i
want to go there. In addition to this, I
mentioned yesterday, 1 want to go with my

all purposes. They are fine layers, good
mothers, healthy, thrifty aud very large.
We keep the best. We can now furnish

This disease is still prevalent iu
many portions of the West. In
some counties in Kentucky,Tonnes-see,
Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, from
ten to twenty per cent, of the hogs
intended for the pen have- been
killed by cholera. The loss’en-tailed
on the farmers by this means
amounts to hundreds of thousands
iof dollars, each year, and sull no
remedy or prevention has been
found which is al all reliable.
A thousand flint ne nostrums
have been advertised to the world
as specifics, and many tender-heart-ed,
not to say tender-headed farm-ers
have spent their money in the
vain- hope of saving their hogs,
but to find their time' arid money
wasted.
Cholera,, as the hog disease is
termed, cjp^s not always effect hogs
iii the same way. In .onf pase thp
tension will bt; in the lungs, in an-other
in the. intestical canal, agiiin
in the liver and Spleen, then in the
brain or stomach. At oue time, it
seems to originate irom lice or in-sects;
then from trieliinal or worm;
then from bad water y then again
from'good pasture, pi ttid feverse,
or else from no particular cause.
At ti lues it appears contagious, at
other times only sporadic, buk yet
it is nearly always fatal. -
A friend write us, that by greas-ing
bis hogs with lard and sulphur
two or three’ times a year, he- es-capes-
all loss. Another announces
that coal oil poured over corn fed
to hogs is a sure preventive and a
good cure. Others prescribe cop-per
and sulphur mixed with ashes,
and others say good feed and clean
water is a preventive.
Our own experience is that pre-vions
to 1856 2here was very little
if any, hog or chicken chyipra, and
that since that lime it has been all
qver the country, and it kills now
as effectually as it did at first, and
be is much safer* from loss whose
hogs escape the disease than he
whose hogs’are’.cured. It is a sub-jeet
til for experiment. ,,,
