A. p. W., Warren, Pa.— I am much obliged for your kind reply to 

 niy letter giving symptoms of my dog and asking advice. I am 

 afraid I omitted one important item bearing upon the trouble The 

 haivaroimd the tv^•o spots affected (iuitside of batmch and side of 

 hind leg helow) is of a reddish color which does not wash out, aud 

 wbicli I am afraid iudicntes what is kuown as ''red mange " The 

 larger spot is quite bare of bair. being about two inches in diameter; 

 there is little or no eruption now, the scabs having sloughed off, I 

 have been using Baker's Manee Cure, and have been administering 

 for a week or more tiuinineand Fowler's solution If it is mange I 

 cannot understand wnat to attribute it to. The dog is underfed ra ther 

 than the reverse, is spare in flesh, and lives off mush with a little ad- 

 mixture of meat principally. His present trouble does not affect his 

 spirits or ambition to work. He does not appear to be restless, and 

 seldom bites or scratches the affect:ed parts. Ans. You had better 

 try the balsam of Peru ointment lo heal the large sore. Keep on with 

 the quinine and arsenic and feed a little scraped raw meat each day 

 mixed with the other food. He needs now a somewhat; richer diet 

 Keep his bowels in order with buckthorn.

A TYROLESE RIFLE MEETING,— The great festival of the second 

 meeting of the Austrian Rifle Association took place yesterday at 

 Innsbruck. The Emperor, who arrived on Saturday from Gastein, 

 held a review of the garrison, and a great reception of the Tyrolese 

 authorities and nobles. Innsbruck is very embairassed by the large 

 number of guests, who exceea the total population. The number of 

 the former is estimated at more than 3,000, of which Switzerland 

 alone has sent more than 5(X) riflemen by express train throuRh the 

 Arlberg. On Saturday, in all three directions, long trains of thu-ty 

 carriages and more brought a thousand fresh guests from all parts of 

 Austria, Htmgary and Germany. Never before have so many Tyro- 

 lese riflemen been gathered together in one place. Very striking 

 they looked in their mediaeval picturesque dress. Tall strong men, 

 with their rifles on theu- shouldens, they came on in military order, 

 with their bands playing and the flags waving which had often 

 guided them to the bloody battlefield for. their country— a real 

 people in arms. There is among the Tyrolese a much 

 greater variety of costumes than is generally known, and most are 

 extremely picturesque. One mountaineer wore white stockings, 

 black leather breeches, and the girdle of olden times. The jacket, 

 waistcoat and hat vary in color with the different valleys. Some men 

 W'ore black jackets with red waistcoats and silver buttons, and black 

 hats with white cocks' feathers. Others were in scarlet and crimson 

 jackets, with green under vests and immense yellow hats with green 

 bands and feathers. The procession to the .shooting ground was a 

 great success. The procession lasted nearly two hours. Showers of 

 flowers overwhelmed the Swiss and German guests. The Tyrolese, 

 who exceeded all the others in number, the w-hole body of riflemen 

 being estiniated at more than 13,000, were, however, the heroes of the 

 day. The variety of colors was very striking. A remarkable feature 

 of the procession was the triumphal car containing the silver shield 

 which the Tyrol received from the Austrian armyattheflve hundredth 

 anniversary of its union with Austria, under the house of Habsburg. 

 Two tall warriors and a protecting nympn of beauty guarded the 

 shield. In the procession there were no fewer than 84 bands of music.
