Tie postronement of this enterprise has been
made imperative from several causes, the most
prominent of which is that. owing to the magnitude
OF the undertaking, ana the short time allotted to
the proprietors they find from Is OOO to 900 tick
cts on hand, or 10 the hands of our agents, which
have not been disposed OF. The enterprise has in
volved an amount of labor and expense which none
but those similarly engaged can comprehend. Over
$1,000 have been expended by the prOprietors in
printing, advertising licenses rents, Office help and
incidental expenses, which is a guarantee of the
faith they have in the exI ariment of distributing
nearly One Hundred Thousand dollars among those
who purchase tickets for the Concert, Our enter
prise has met with unparalleled success, far out
stripping any similar undertaking ever before inau-
gurated in the Northwest. Yet, with this large
number OF tickets in the hands of agents scattered
all through the States of Wisconsin Minnesota and
Iowa. the proprletors would much dislike to hold
this number of tickets and come in as competitors
tor the Gifts TO be distributed as woud those who
have purchased their tickets.
1t is desirable that every ticket should be closed
out before the Concert thus guaranteeing to those
who have 30 freely and lavishly embarked in the
enterprise with us Fair and Honorable dealing, 10
the end that no possible blame can be attached to
the proprietors. Fair play and Justice 10 Ticket
Holders is our aim, and we are determined to so
conduct this enterprise that we may come to the
thousands of contlding men and women through
out these States the second time and receive their
patronage in similar but more magnificent enter
prise
We have been requested by several Of our Agents
to postpone our Concert until after harvest assuI
ing Us that thousands would thsn purchase tickets
who are unable to do so at present. The wish to
give all opportunity to avail themselves of the
benefits presented by our enterprise, has been an
other inducement to make the postponement. The
large fund which has accumulated from the sale of
tickets has been securely invested until needed to
make the necessary purchases OF goods to be dsto-
uted; and not dollar OF il will be misappropTiated.
Now, let our Agents. and all who receive this Cir
cuar bestir themselves and be ready to make their
reports by the lst of August at the iarthest that

prepared to make distribution on the 9Th, as
there will positively be no further pOstponsmsnt,

MANAGEMENT OF WORKING OXEN.
1t is not so much hard labor that
heats oxen and makes them loll in warm
weather, as the i'll treatment of rough
and abusive drivers. Treat them with
gentleness when at work; feed them
well and regularly three times a day,
with water sprinkled with oat and In
dian corn meal at least twelve quarts,
besides some roots daily; let them have
clean water as often as they are fed, and
not require them to drink that which is
impure or stagnant; give them at least
two hours after feeding to chew the cud
and rest, and they viii perform vast
amount of hard work and increase in
flesh at the same time, and will usually
be found to be more convenient for
many purposes than horses. Let it be
reiterated that it is not the hard labor
that oxen perform that exhausts their
energies. Oxen were made for hard
service, and if treated kindly and care
fully they will labor hard every day, and
still grow fat. But when fed a stinted
allowance of poor hay and meal. wor-
ried and abused by bawling, ill-natur-
ed driver, who necessarily applies the
lash or goad, and dragged out by car
rying on their necks huge cart tongue
from morning till night, their strength
fails, and sensible people are led TO con-
clude that they can not stand the heat
like horse. -Ag1'icuktuTist.

EARLY HAVING.


We notice that some practical farmers,
whose experience covers the expert
ence of many years, give it as their
opinion that much is lost annually by
not commencing the haying season
early enough. 1t is as settled, too,
that customarily large portion of the
nutritive properties of the grass is lost
by overdrying the hay in the meadow
before putting it into NOW or stack
They are doubtless right in both of
these assumptions. The natural Juice
of the grass should be retained as far as
practicable, but this can not be done
if the grass is allowed to become dead
ripe before being cut, or is suffered to
be scorched to death In the process of
curing. III no rain intervenes between
the time of cutting and taking the hay
to shelter, very little exposure to the
sun will be necessary. Placed in cocks,
soon after cutting, and left to stand a
day or two, will be ample as a process
of curing. The hay will be much more
nutritive than dried to crisp.
HOW To PRODUCE EGGS.
a hen is perfect machine, which, if
cared for as should be, and kept in COM
Portable quarters and fed with care, will
produce eggs in spite of itself If, as a
rule, hen is kept clean flor nothing
enjoys cleanliness more than hen, land
furnished a supply of grain, meat and
vegetables, she will produce the egg
which she has got to lay or die. Take
away the flesh and vegetables and small
grain, and give corn and water alone,
and your hens will cease to lay and be-
come fat. Corn in itself has less of the
properties which make the egg than any
of the smaller grains which we raise.
Rye, wheat, barley and buckwheat are
best for eggs.

A Big SwindIe.

The particulars of a magnificent swindle,
by which Judge Walker, former Reading
Clerk of the House of Representatives at
Washington, Judge Huges, of this State, and
other parties, were diddled out of $4,000,
have Just leaked out. The swindle was con-
cocted in the town of Paris, lllinois-a little
ownwhich is becoming entirely too "sharp"
for its size-Mr. James I. r. Allen being
the leading spirit, with another young man
of the town as confederate. Allen is an
ex-rebel Colonel, and has been VIGOROUSLY
connected with the copperhead disturbances
in Edgar county for the past two years.
Allen went on to Washington last fall, and
through the influence of Judge Walker, who
was formerly acquainted with his family in
Louisiana, procured pardon from President
johnson, and im return for the kindness
"took him in " as partner in a nice little
cotton speculation. Allen knew of certain
Robinson, of Robinson's Landing, on Red
river, who had fifteen hundred bales of cot
ton, which, owing to certain peculiar cir
cumstances, could be bought cheap. A
young gentleman of Paris personated Robin
son, and the contract was concluded at St.
Louis, Walker paying down $50, 000-the
balance, some $4,000, to be paid when the
cotton was delivered on the river bank at
Robinson's Landing. There is also still
darker rumor afoat, of a conspiracy to muir
der Allen somewhere on his way to Red
river, and possess themselves of the balance
of the purchase money. 1t is stated that a
proposition to this effect was made to a gam
bier of Paris, who told them in reply that
he would play Mr.. Walker fair game of
poker for the $4,000, but would imbrue
his hands in no mans blood. The gambler,
however, promised to say nothing of the
proposition, but the deadly secret weighing
heavily ON his conscience, he disclosed it,
and Walker was warned, too late, however,
to save his $4,000. Allen and his confeder-
ate are still at LARGE Indianapolis Journal

about cholera: 7e s
eve do not wish to be lugubrious or to
disturb people in their enjoyment of their
Christmas holidays, their roast turkey, and
their plum pudding; but it is our duty to
advise all provident persons to sell their
skates and invest the proceeds toward the

ways ill-timed, but especially so in a Ease in

fears; and in working upon their fears pro-
duees that exact condition most favorable to

Brownsville accounts say Gen. Crawford

A. F. Reed, is rapidly raising recruits in
Brownsville, eniisting United States soldiers
still in the United States service, promising
them discharges as soon as the necessary

There has been no interference with these
bogus authorities as yet.
Recruiting Offices are opening in other
parts Of Texas. One Of the recruiting Off
Gers informed the correspondent Of the Times
that force was to come from New York to
