HIGH way ROBBERY.
An Elderly Stranger Falls into
the Hands of seine Thieves.

On Sunday morning about o'clock, the po-
lice ON the Leyee were alarmed by cry OF dis
tress proceeding from o dark spot near the
corner of Jackson street and the Levee, ana
on runping to the place, found an elderly man
living mon the ground, who complained that
he had been knocked down and robbed, and
WAS ouite severely injured on the head.
He revived in few minutes, however. and
made the following statement: that his name
sew. Truett, and that he came from Galena
to this State, intending to buy some property
here. He had left his family at Minneapolis,
on Saturday, and came to st. Paul to look
around here. While going around he had fall
en- in with young fellow named Jno. Rourke,
who pretended he was also from Illinois, and
on the same errand as Mr.. Truett. They pro-
ceeded in company to various places in the
city. and remained together until q late hour Of
the night. Rourke, finding (perhaps he had
got Mr.. Truett in proper condi-
ton for his designs, took him to the
leyee under pretence of seeking lodgings.
They were refused at one or two places, and
finally about 1 o'clock, Rourke decoyed Tru-
cite to the levee, where two accomplices at.
tackled him from behind with slung shot or
other weapon, knocking him down, and then
robbing him of pocket book containing 1920,
made of.
The police were at once put on close lookout
for the garroters, and on Sunday nabbed
Rourke in company with two companions who
gave their names as VIM. Byrne and Henry
johnson. On the person of johnson was
found nearly 500 of the kind and denomina-
tons which Truett described as in his pocket
book. Some was also found on Byrne's per.
son. The three fellows were at once jagged,
and will be tried to-day at 10 o'clock. Mr..
Truett's wound was not very severe one, and
be was able to get around yesterday.
This is one of the most ingeniously planned
and daringly executed highway robberies we
have ever recorded in this city, and shows that
there are in our midst a number, perhaps, Of
bad and reckless men, who are ready for any
crime, including even murder itself, by which
they can make money.

The CASE OF SToOKING.-The examlna.

of Nathan 8. Roberts, on board the steamer

His mental condition has improved somewhat
since then, and he is now really sane, but is in
very excitable condition, and needs care and
proper attention.
The facts Of the crime and the mental condi

How to Choose q Cow.

On this subject the Working Farmer
says "There is always some risk in buy.
ing COW, Of whose previous character
and history we know nothing, for there
are no infallible signs of excellence. A
rough, coarse, illshsped cow is often no.
bic mixer. Yet there are few points
generally agreed upon by experienced far
mers which it is we'll to consider before
purchasing A small boned head and ligh,
horns are better than large. Long legs
make too wide gap betwixt udder and
milk pail aud long legged cows are seldom
quiet feeders, but wonder about too much
A slender rather than thick neck, q
straight back, wide ribs and broad briske,,
are to be sought for. The body of the
COW should be largo in proportion to head,
neck and legs though not excessively
large; and the hind quarters if large out
of proportion indicate good qualities
Medium sized cows, all things considered
proves the best mixers for The amoun. OIL
food they consume. The color Of the
hair has probably J nothing to do With the
milking qualities, and good looks should
be regarded but little iu purchasing diary
animals. AS to the color Of the skin,
bright yellow approaching that of golt
coins, creamy color within the ears--thi.
and good rich milk are very apt to go to-
gether and wilhal, a soft flexible hide
loose over the ribs and rump, is also to be
sought. The udder should be large sof
and full Of veins stretching forward alonl
the belly, and the teats be large aud 10
crowded together Test the cows dispo
siton and inquire about it. Irritible anc
nervous COWS are unpleasant to handle
aud dolmost always scanty mixers. Some
thing can be ascertaiaed from the look
aud motions. Large, mild eyes, easy ,quie
moiiens when driven, and geutleness wher
handled, indicate good nature. Wha
butchers term "good handling" is an i'm
porIant quality in a mlch COW, Tor it 10
dicates not only good milking properties
but easy fatteniug, when services in tn
dairy are over"

With low and pen.ive sound"
The growing season is nearly over
Cold s,orms prevail Unpleasant wealth,
sr Frequently keeps farmers within doors

for the most part; fruit aud vegetables

November is an excellent time to do
something at understanding wet portions
of dry fields, as well as for cutting new
channels for small streams that flow on
tho surface.
On many farms there are small brooks
which may often be turned BY few fur

When the weather is too wet and low
cry to perform any other labor, stones N ay
be picked off moving land, or hauled ie
the sido Of ditches or stumps may be
dug, or lifted out, and hauled together in
heaps.
When small stones are wet aud cold the
most convenient manner OF picking them
is, to pitch them with strong manure forks
or with light, round-p pointed shovels, This
will be found less satigung than to stoop
and pick up every one from the ground by
hand. Large stones should be pried up,
and blocks or rails placed beneath them,
so that they may be hauled when the
ground s frozen
Corn stalks should be thoroughly cured
and the large butts we'll dried before they
are stacked, or babled into the barn. The
true way to secure corn stalks is, to build
long aud narrow stack, with only two
courses of sheaves placed on poles foot
above the ground, with the tops tapping
on each other. By stacking the shcaves
in this manner, the large, spongy butts
which are usually full Of water, have an
opportunity to dry out, without injuriDg
the fodder, as they will, if put in large
mow, or in a broad stack.

TEMPER IN TREATING SToCK.-The
farmers stock around him partakes more
or less of the quality OF the owner or
those who attend upon it. A mans inau.
euce is impaired to his beasts, particularly
the horses, the working cattle, aud the
milch COWS. A man OF irascible temper
gets up nervousness in horse or cow
The brute becomes afraid of him and if
Of vicious nature, is apt to be hurtfully
Influenced, perhaps irreelaimably spoiled
whereas a mild-tempered, discrimina-
tive man will gradually smooth down the
asperities Of harsh despotism. We have
known milch cows, wild as deers, brought
to a placid tractability. The man is a su-
perior--and mis- superior influence will be
communicated. Wise stock-men keep fools
and irritants out Of their stock yards.
