PROTECTION OF RAILROAD EMPLOYEES.
"A bill has been introduced into the New
York Legislature providing that all rail-
road companies in the State shall place
ratings on the top of freight cars, and
bridges between all cars in the train, thus
securing safety to brakemen and others
under the necessity Of passing from one
car to another. 1t proposes to place en-
ployes of railroads upon the same foot
ing as passengers-so that if they receive
injuries through carelessness or bad man
agement on the part of others, they will
be entitled to damages, the same as if they
were passengers. The object of the bill
is very favorbly considered by members
who believe its provisions simply just to a
large and worthy class of men who daily
run as great risks as the average of sol
diers in an ordinary camp aign.

JERSEY Cows.-A Jersey COW should
have thin jaws, small muzzle, with
white rim around it, wide between the
horns, q full eye, and horns small, yellow
and waXy looking at the root, tapering
off to black on the tip of the horn neck,
/ long and slim, well filled out behind the
] shoulders, straight back, and round, full
/ barrel small tail tip of tail bright,
deep orange color deer like legs with
square bag running well forward, and
well up behind; teats of medium size,
well set apart bag and teats of orange
color, no matter how deep that color is.
The Jersey COW is not a deep mixer.
The most | ever had one give in u day was
nineteen quarts. From twelve to fourteen
quarts per day is good milking for Jer-
sey COW. The cream from Jersey milk is
not equalled by any other known breed
of cows in the world, being very thick
and firm, of bright color, making the
most delicious butter of the same COM
plexion. The Jerseys, like all other cows,
differ in quantity and quality Of milk and
butter. Some OF them will make more
butter from the same quantity of milk.
The average Of butter is, one pound from
four to six quarts of milk. A great deal
depends upon the feed and management.
As every one knows or ought to know
different locations and pastures are more
suitable for butter making than others.
The most butter per week / have ever
mado from Jersey COW was sixteen
pounds. have been told that there are
cows that will make from eighteen to
twenty pounds of butter per week. It
may be so, but~it has never been my good
luck to see or own such. II have Jer-
sey COW that will give from twelve to six
teen pounds of butter per week, call her
a good one.-Cor. Farm and Freside.

The natives who reported that the in.

that they deserted him and returned to
the coast because they feared that he was
leading them into hostile country. The

sessed a prayer book, givoo her by one of
DIR, Liyingston's followers who had been
left behind on account of lamenoss. As
this person was absent from the village.
the party got no absolute information as
to the doctors whereabouts but are firm
ly convinced that Livingstone has safely
passed through the most dangerous per-
tion of his journey and made good his ad-
vance into the interior, with the inten-
ton of descending the Nile into Egypt.
If the daring traveller gets safely home
once more, fresh incentive will be given
to the pleasures and dangers of African

\ TRAVELLED ENGLsHMAN. - The
London Spectator, in commenting upon
our Angola accident, expresses the hope
that ''the catastrophe will cure American
railway officials of their insane custom of
locking the carriages"
The writer has evidently travelled in
America. Our railway officials have
many insane customs to be cured of, but
we can hardly accuse them Of blocking
the carriages when a passenger is at lib
erty to walk from one end of a train to
the other while it is in full motion, and
has the privilege, common to all American
free-born citizens, of dropping between
the platforms
After all we have heard of European
railways with their little tightly locked
mpartments-when American travellers
in England have chaffed so frequently at
the restraint upon their liberties and the
Heaven-born right of being killed by ac-
cident if they choose-it seems curious
to read Of the "insane American custom
Of locking the carriages"
Perhaps our English editorial friend is
the same gentleman who rose, not very

BARRE lGRANITE.-Walton's Journal
says New York is to have new State
House, covering n space of about six hun
dred feet by three hundred--almost as
large as the National capitol We learn
that the building is to be of granite, and
that J. p. Harrington, Esq. is to offer
Barre granite. Compared with either
marble, or the granite of Maine, used in
the Treasury building, Washingtonl or
Of Quincy used at Boston, we think the
Barre granite is the most beautiful As
we write, the sky is clear, the sun bril-
liant, and nothing hut the purest snow
with which to compare the walls of our
State House, which are of Barre granite.
The color of the granite, distant about
sixty rods, is clear and clean, little grey
ish compared with the snow, but cleaner
than any marble we have ever seen.

Robbery

Robbery.
A dwelling house, situated on Centre
street, was entered on Wednesday mora
ing about two o'clock by some thief and
several4 articles purloined therefroin.
The gentleman of the house was arous-
ed by the barking of n small dog that
was in a room near to his sleeping apart
mcnt and experimenting that something
was wrong passed from his room into
the chi!drcn's bed ROOF and being I'M
armed closed the door very hard behind
him, thinking that if there was an in
truder in the house he would hear the
noise and either be made to beats retreat
or TO make some stir that would lead
I. his whereabouts in the premises. But
all was silence-not a sound of footsteps
nor movement Of any kind could be
heard, and the gentleman retired again
with the thought thathis fears had been
aroused merely by imagination. He
had lain in bed but n few minutes when
the dog became more furious than at
first. This was something unusual for
the dog, and the gentleman determined
To ascertain the cause. He got up.
approached the fire place and arming
himself with a poker, proceeded to the
head of the stairs on which he heard
the footsteps of n man ascend
ding. He started down, but the thief
made a hasty flight out into the yard,
and from thence to the street, and was
soon out Of sight. The gentleman had
no light and was not able to tell who
he was, but thinks he must have been
a bold william to attempt to ascend the
stairs into the sleeping apartment when
the dog was making such a noise and
he himself had been IN and walked
from one room TO another, making con-
fusion enough to be heard all over the
house. Upon examining the premises,
all the doors in the lower part of the
house were found TO be open; also a
back window, where it is thought the
robher gained an entrance. On the sill
of this window a large dagger was
found, the blade of which was five or
six inches in length, and about an inch
in breadth. supposed to have been used
in getting the window hoisted. The
light fingered scamp was not very well
maid for the trouble he went to, but we
are satisfied that ifaDother opportunity
offers, the gentleman of the house will
give him n warm reception.
