Mr.. w. w. Cnenery Of Belmont has made
another importation of Dutch cattle. We saw
them on the 9TH as they were removed from
the ship Fairfield, to Battery wharf. They
consisted OF a yearling bull, and four two'year-
old heiters, all in good condition. The pass
age was short, having occupied only thirty
one days from Rotterdam They are what are
what are called the "best nord Dutch blood,
The correspondent adds, "a solid peasant
was employed to purchase them, and they are
carefully selected, of excellent skin and hair,
and are breake out hands by offer OF money"
i. G., only obtained by exhorbitant prices In
bringing them to port for importation, they
were not allowed to come in contact with any
cattle on the way 10 the port where they were
shipped" They are large, thrifty looking
lmalS, the heiters weighing over nine hundred
pounds apiece after arriving at Mr.. C.'s farm,
and are evidently, the best bred stock of Dutch
cattle. Mr.. Chenery remarked, that he re-
CARDS them as combining all the good quail
ties OF the Ayrshires and the ShOrthOrns II

of the Highland Stock Farm" that erich

Mr. Chenery took every precaution in this
importation, necessary to guard against di.
sease, besides instruating his agent to purchase
none but the best blood of the Dutch cattle.

Mr.. Cheuery, he says at has been bred with
special reference to dairy qualities, and is es-

cattle are, in general renowned toy their dairy

How THE JAPANESE RESTORE FADED

the N Y. Herald writes;
After bouquet is dl oping beyond all
remedies of fresh water, the japanese can

simple and seemingly most destructive op-
Grafton. | had received some days ago a
delightful bunch of flowers from japanese
acquaintance. They continued to live in
all their beauty for nearly two weeks, when
at last they faded just as | was about 10
have them thrown away, the same gentle
man Japanese gentleman came to see me.
/ showed him the faded flowers, and told
him that, though lasting long time, they
had now became useless. "Oh, no." said
he " only put the ends of the stems into
the fire, and they will be as good as be-
fore" l was increduIous so he took them
himself and held the stems end into the
fire until they were completely charred.-
This was in the morning at evening they
were again looking fresh and vigorous, and
have continued so for another week. What
may be the true agent in this reviving pro-
cess, 1 am unable to determine fully !;
whether it be the heat driving once more
the last juices into every leahet and vein, or
whether it be the bountiful supply of car
bon furnished by the charring. | am incln-
ed, however, to the latter cause as the full eff
feet was not produced until some eight
hours afterwards, and as it seems that, if
the heat was the principal agent, it must
have been sooner followed by visible
changes.

ANOTHER JUDGR ON TRBAsoN.-Judge

The ship-bulder who furnishes vessels to
