PATERSON CRICKET CLUB. 
The Paterson Club, of Paterson, N. J., played during 
the past season ten matches, of which, it won five 
and lost five' This is a good record when all cir¬ 
cumstances are taken into consideration. The follow¬ 
ing are the batting averages of members who played 
in°not lass than three matches. Unfortunately, the 
bowling analysis of all the matches were not kept, 
which prevents a correct table of bowling averages from

jury, as the heating cannot harm the metal. 
R. II. W., Newton, Kansas. —Please Inform me if you know of 
any successful way of trapping wild geese either on sand-bars or

cotton wick into the seams with a blunt chisel or similar tool, 
then putty and paint. If of heavy build, caulk with “oakum.” 
taking care not to drive it through or spring th e fastenings. Pitch 
seams in large vessels, sompe off and paint. Possibly filling and 
soaking your boat may do; the swell of the wood may he suffi¬ 
cient. 
G., Flushing, L. I.—I find that my pointer puppy, three months 
old, is troubled with crooked legs—both the fore legs turn in 
What shall Ido for them ? Ans. W e presume that you have boon

J. P. P., Boston.—Is it best to leave the hammors of a brooch- 
loading gun, with rebounding plungers, down on plungers or at 
half-cock? I mean when the guu is at rest in the house. Ans. 
If your gun has rebounding plungers, it is impossible for you to 
leave them down. If it has not rebounding plungers, draw the 
load and leave the hammers down. 
Aix SpOnSA. Rushville, III.—If your dog has worms, there is no 
better remedy than areca nut. The nut should be newly pow¬ 
dered. If full-grown pointer or setter, after fasting twelve 
hours give thirty grains of nut in the evening, followed next 
morning by similar dose; two hours later, half ounce of olive or 
castor oil. If puppy weighing about ten pounds, after six bom's' 
fasting give doses of ten grains of tho nut, followed by ono-quar- 
ter ounce of oil. 
C. E., New York.—How long will birds keep after being In¬ 
jected with carbolic acid? Also, is it better to use the clear acid 
or have it diluted with water ; if so, in what proportion of water 
do you use to the acid? Does it injure the plumage to use it? 
Ans. Birds injeeted with carbolic acid diluted with water one- 
half, will keep for a long time. The carbolic acid does not injure 
the plumage particularly, hut such specimens are apt to become 
greas 3 r altera time, and are not desirable cabinet specimens. 
Wit. A. Allen, Fort Custer, M. T.—1. Where can I get full- 
hlooded, dark Brahma eggs, and would they hatch after being 
shipped to Fort Custer by river ? 2. Whatisa ehoke-horeinguns ? 
1. Write to Poulh'u Bulletin , Hartford, Conn. Dunn & Wilbur, 
who advertise in our columns, may have them. 2. A choke-bore 
gun is so made that the diameter of the bore at the muzzle is less 
than the diameter of the bore behind it—or, in other words, tho 
bore is constricted near the muzzle. 
Canadian, Montreal.—When was the St. George's of New York 
originally stai'ted? Can I also trouble yon to give the date and 
result of first Canada vs. United Stales match? Ans. The St. 
George’s Cricket Club of New York was organized in the winter, 
of 1839 and'40. Cricket, however, was played in New York in 
1751, revived in 1799, and again by tho Dragon Slavers, as above 
The first match between Canada and the United States was played 
at Harlem, N. Y., August 24th and 25th, 1853. Won by the States 
by 34 runs. 
S., Montclair, N. J.— Two of my six imported greyhound pup¬ 
pies were suddenly seized a few days ago with weakness in their 
back and hind legs. If I attempt to stand them on their feet 
they suffer pain, but if resting on their sides seem comparatively 
easy. What shall I. do to reliove them 1 Ans. Your puppies 
have some spinal irritation, which is common. No active reme¬ 
dies are admissable at their age; a little castor oil in milk to clear 
the intestines may do good—time will twohably put them all 
right. 
W. J. P., Danbury, Conn.—What shall I do for a dog that has 
taken the distemper? This disease is very prevalent in Danbury, 
several valuable dogs having died with it. The disease attacks 
the tbroatand is accompanied with a drooping at the mouth -. tho 
dog cannot swallow and dies in a few hours. Some lose power i u 
their hind legB. We opened one dog’s throat, and it was much 
inflamed and swollen. Ans. No specific for such eases ; they re¬ 
quire systematic treatment, which must vary with eaoli case 
according to symptoms. When the throat is much affected, 
chlorate of potash in fine powder is good. Five grains every 
hour. 
Gun Shy, Paterson, N. .T.—I bought a Bonehill glifshot gun, and 
after three weeks the lump fastening the fore-end came out; was 
afraid to use it again; exchanged it, giving $20 for a plain twist 
Parker. On trying this next day discovered a flaw half way 
in left barrel, through which the oil or gas oozed. Returned it 
and got another, and I discovered that there is a flaw about live 
inches from the breech inside the right barrel, with a smaller one 
fourteen inches from the breech on the outside. Neither leaks. 
Ans. You might have had the Bonehill repaired at a trifling cost, 
or without charge by the party from whom you purchased it. In 
the guns of the grade you have now there is always liability of 
some such slight flaw. Yoursecond gun would have iastel a life¬ 
time, so far as the flaw was concerned; and in the gun you have 
now, the flaw can affect neither the shooting qualities nor the 
safety. Better be satisfied until you can afford a more expensive 
one. 
W. M., Washington.— I have two bitch puppies, born about the 
last of September, 18"9. Until the end of November they appeared 
to be perfectly healthy. When brought to me about a week later 
I found that they could hardly walk ; their hind legs were drawn 
forward, aud tho lore legs unable to hold their weight, and in a 
few days they lost entire use of them. For a long time they could 
only eat their food while resting their heads on the dish and tak¬ 
ing the food in the side of their mouths. They ceased to grow 
until about a week ago. They have now improved so far ns to 
be able to Standalone, and bobble a foot or two. If excited by 
hunger or eagerness, instead of going toward their food they 
totter backwards, as if their limbs were reversed. I have i rented 
them-for worms, hut found no great number, During the few 
cold days in November they were not properly cared for, arid 
were much exposed. They are black cockers of a very healthy 
stook. Their appetite is good. Their food has been milk and 
bread, mostly corn bread. Can you suggest a proper treatment? 
Ans. The symptoms accord with those of “inanition” fromneg- 
leotand exposure. Proper care in the matter of kennelling and 
feeding may restore them, if not, nothing else will.
