The Huron Expositor, 1871-07-21, Page 66 THE HURON EXPOSITOR. JULY 21 1871. • Fresident Grant's Colt. President Grant is so unfortunate as co possess a colt with a sore His distress of mind is thus deserib- , ed by a Washington. correspondent: We would not like to guarantee the truth of the letter but give it for what it is worth : Grant has se r •ely elept since the colt was taken sick except when under the influence of sedatis e;. Tne sore tail seemed a source of constant auxiety and doubt. The foreign war, the treaty, the revision of the Cabinet, the Con- kling-Fentou fight, the New 1York Collectorship, Ben Wade, Marshal Brown's pups, express packages, Boutwell and Pleasonton, his dear relation -s -yes, even his piety -all were forgotten in. his eoncern tor the sore tailed colt. Daily bulletins were sent him at Long Branch as to the condition of the tail, its size, . general appearance, number of hairs lost during the day, number remain- ing, the status of the colt's appetite, her diet, the condition of her bowels, and such other facts, as, in the opinion of the doctor, would prove interesting to the devoted owner -*ea. The Best- Society. "No company, or good company," • was a motto given by a distuaguished man to all his young friends. It was a motto he had always endeavor- ed to follow as far as in his power, and it was a very wise one. The • directions of the Bible are Many with regard to evil COM pany, and all through it we are taught to shun such society, kat we get a snare to Our souls. Another of high position in. tbe world makes it a rule to associate -with highminded, •intelligent 4n; • rather than with fashonable idlets ; and he said be had derived more in- tellectual improvement frome them than froin all the books he ever • read. Sir Fowell Buxton often spoke of the great benefits he bad derived froM his visits to the Gurney; family. • Their words stimulated him to make the most of his powers. " It ha• s giyen a Nwer to my whole life," he said. Speaking of his sueceSs fat the • -University, he remarked : "1 can ascribe it to nothing but my visits to this family, where I caught the in- fection of self-improvement." Surely, if our visits have such an inflaence upon our life, it should be. a matter of oerious importance to us in what familieswe allow ourselves to be intimate. Boys and girls form attachments very easily, and often with little forethought. In this, as in all things else,you should not fail to take advice of those who a -re older and -wiser, and never choose fur a friend one against whom you have been waxned by those who dearly love you. There are people whose very pres- ence seems to lift you up into a better, higher atmosphere. Choose such associates Whenever it is in your power, and the more you- can liven their society, the better for -both mind and heart. "He that • walketh with wise men shall be wise; but a COM pauion of fools shall be de- s troy ed. tween the' roflers at the back, which, being ,capablie of being forced close together, ar apt to couupletely de oralize these 'ironielads.'" 11 Howick. OUNCIL MEETTN.G L ---The Council met at Chambers' !Hotel, on the 21st 'tilt, pu 1111 al .in M. TI gi ei b3 C:1 i.1 to. Carbolic Acid. In pasting wall papers, posters etc.,• especially where successive layers are put on, there arises a most disagreeable effluvia, -which is per- ticalarly noticeable in damp weather. • The came of tnis is the decoliaposi- tion of the paste. • In close rooms it • is very unwholesome, and • the cause of disease. • In large 'manufactories, 'where large quantities of paste is used, it • often becomes :sour and offensive: Glue, also, has often a very disagreeable odor. If, when intiking paste or glue, a small quantity of carbolic: acid is added, it will keep sweet and free from offen- sive smells. es. few drops added to mucilage or ink prevents mould. in whitewashing the cellar _ and dairy, if an ounce of catbolic acid is • added to each gallon of wash, it will prevent mould and the,disagreeable • taints often perceived in meats and milk from damp apartments. Another great advantage in the • use of carbolic acid in. paste for wall- paper, and in whitewash, it will • drive away,‘cock-ro tches and other insect pests The cheapest and best form of carbolic is crystal which dis- solves in water or liquifies at an ex- cess of temperature. snout to adjournment from last meet- ; the Reeve in the chair. • Members present.
