 To fully understand this account, it must be borne in mind that our milk busi- ness was started at the most unfavorable season of year, viz, the middle of April, that it was new route, with trade to be built up in New York; and further, that most of our farmers were unacquainted with the business. Under aA these disad- uantages, the results have been most satis- factory, and it is easy to see they will be much more favorable for tho coming year.

There Is no occupation which seems
SO peculiarly adapted to woman as
setting type. 1t is in many respects
a mental labor. 1t is peculiarly sed-
entary, and needs no more eXertiOn
than the sewing machine or the pia-
no. The men who set type, as a
general class, possess a great degree
of Intelligence. We presume that
more men have risen to distinction
from the printing-otlice than from
any single occupation: and if nine
tenths ot the printers in New Y ork
We're thrown upon their own reSour-
ces and sent out of this great city
into the new countries which yearn
for their industry and ability, it
would be better for them and better
for the Republic. They are iii many
eases fitted to be the leaders of men
to rise in the learned professions, to
perform the highest duties of society.
Nothing but the natural dislike to-
ward taking what seems to be 4 risk
keeps 50 many men in the dense ana
thankless city till they waste their
years over the printing ease and be-
come rermaturely old and poor.
We should like to see type-setting
generally abandoned to woman. 1t
is her work, and in this work she has
succeeded. Women are naturally as
quick and intelligent as men, and
viii make quite as good printers.
We trust that Miss Anthony will
persist in this new effort, and that
she will receive encouragements from
those who hire printers labor
There are some departments in print
ing in which, perhaps, it would not
he well for woman to assist. In
morning newspapers where the work
il thrown mainly into the middle
hours of the night, and is accompa
MED by the unpleasant necessity Of
being at home at unwelcome hours,
we do not think it would be an adj
vantage for women to be employed.
Still it might be done We trust
to see thorough trial madc.-N. Y.

y LOUISIANA TRAGEDY. IN
Caldwell parish, last week, three
brothers, James Henry and Thomas
Duke, went to a yOHng man named
Cain, who was at work in the woods
to get an explanation of some affair.
On starting for home they met J. II .
Cain, the father of the young man,
when, after some words, the old man
brought his gun to bear on the three
brothers. Firing one barrel he Kill
led James Duke instantly, and with
the second wounded Henry Duke
mortally. The latter, after falling,
drew a pistol and lfired at old Cain,
but missed him. Thomas Duke tried
to get pistol from one of his dead
brothers, while the old man Cain
was reloading his gun, but had to
leave, as young Cain got after him.
The next day the two brothers were
buried in one grave. At last accounts
their murderer had not been arrested.
1t IL the custom there to look upon
these occurrences as only little
ghborhood difficulties.

The name of this young man has
no place in history, but it richly de-
serves one in every manly breast
In company with his father and some
other persons he was returning from
Amsterdam to his home III Rotter-
dam, on the ice. Coming to a weak
place, the whole party fell into the
water, the father and son alone rising
to the surface, the rest having been
drawn under by the current. A per-
son, alarmed by their cries, rushed
to their assistance, and found the
two struggling for life clasped in
each others arms. The father, per-
fectly self-pOssessed, gave all the di-
rections for their relief, but was heard
by the son to say "that all his efforts
would be useless, as, locked together
as they We're, both must perish. -
Bat the words were no sooner ut
tered than the son unbound his arms
kissed his father tenderly on the
cheek, and, bidding him "good-
night" after the manner of his
childhood, sank to rise no more.

PATENTED FRUTTS.-The other
day, in the House of Representatives
Mr.. ketchum, Of New York intro
duced bill to protect inventors of
new kinds of fruit ~ Perhaps such
thing was never before seen in a
Legislature in any nation in the world.
Certain men, ii seems, who monopo-
lie certain new varieties of fruit are
not content with the large sums of
money usually made by them, but
they actually want Congress to pro-
tect them in it. The Invention of
n fruit is new sort of use for the
word, but as no other word would
answer in this most absurd applica-
ton it had to be used or none. We
shall next see parties applying for
letters patent for "inventing" new
breeds of fowls, horses and cattle.
1t would be nomore surprising or fool
ish. We venture To say that should
the fruit invention project be success
ful there is not respectable newspa:
per in the county that would ever
refer to any new fruit thus protected,
which would he as deadly to any
such fruit as though visited by a
shower OF birthstone and fire.

Singular Adventure.

The Terre Haute (Ind.) Journal of
Wednesday vouches for the truth of
the following strange story:
A bout ten days ago young lady
was found wandering about in Otter
Creek Township in Il craZed state of
mind, very thinly clad and apparent
ly enduring great mental and physi-
cal suffering. Her singular conduct
and the fact that she appeared to
have no place of habitation attract
ed the attention of the people, and
she was finally taken charge of by
the Township Trustee who sent her to
the poor asylum. When the poor
creature went to this institution she
was a raving lunatic, and her physi-
cal condition was terrible, having
had her feet SO badly frozen that she
was unable to stand, and it was fear
ed that amputatio', would be found
necessary to save her life.
The officers of the asylum have
given the unfortunate every attention
and in the last four or five days she
has nearly regained her proper mind
and is now able to tell her sad story.
Her Dame is PAMELA Robinson.
She is about - years of age, and is
from Oswego, New York, where her
parents reside, her father being an
old gentleman of wealth and promi-
nence in that locality. The young
lady is prepossessing in appearance,
highly educated and of modest de-
pertinent. She says she left her fa-
theirs home III New York with the
intention of visiting a married sister
living in Parke County, near Rock
vile. From some reason, for which
she does not account, she lost her
reason on arriving at this point, and
she has no memory of events from
the time she reached the depot until
a few days since.
In one of her dresses, found in the
woods, in Otter Creek township was
pocket book containing good sum
of money and n check drawn by her
father on an Oswego bank for $400. In
the pocket of her dress was a check
for her baggage, and her trunk was
at the depot last Saturday. 1t was
well filled with 4 nice wardrobe,
which corroborates the statement of
her condition in life.
The friends of the young lady in
Parke County have been written to,
and they will doubtless be swift in
flying to the aid and rescue of their
unfortunate relative, who has so
narrowly escaped horrible death.
In the meantime she will receive
every attention from the kind and
humane managers of the Asylum

Another Frightful History of Crime and
Bloodshed.

From the New Albany Commercial
1t seems that Jackson county is
not alone the resort or headquarters
of gangs of robbers and murderers.
Benton county is equally notorious
for the crimes committed of late years
by gang of cut thrOats having their
headquarters in Pine township, near
Rainesville. \ gentleman writing
from Rainesville, December oath,
gives the following accounts of the
doings and tragic death of the chief
of this gang OF robbers and murder
ers and his family and some other
items of interest. He says:
Il few days..before we got out to the
lidge, some men went out to the
house of a man named Shafer, and
shot him, killing him instantly He
was very bad man harboring horse
thieves, and stealing for his living.
Several years ago some men track
ed horse thief to his cabin. They
enquired of this man Shafer if the
thief had been there, and were told
that he had not, but one of his little
girls said the chief had been there
So the pursuit was continued.and the
thief caught. Shafer and his wife
then took their little daughter out
into huckelberry patch and cut her
throat tor telling about the thief
Shortly after this it was found out
that Shafer was sheltering thieves
and murderers, and he was sent to
the State prison for one year. While
there his wife took sick with fever
During her delirium she would say,
"Oh, how the little thing screams ="
The murder of her little daughter
was working in her mind. She
never recovered but passed to her
final and terrible account.
After her death her husband came
back, lived alone, and carried on the
same rs before. So three men con-
cluded to put him out Of the way.
They went to his cabin one evening
with a well loaded shot gun. The
old fellow was getting his supper,
when one of them shot him in the
back with twenty-five swan-shot.
The next day man went into his
cabin and found him dead. Since
this three more of the same stripe
have left for fear they would deserved
i'll the same way.

SACRIFICE OF THE BEA UTIFUL
PRINCESS ES.-What Il pity that the
beautiful Danish Princesses should
be married to such men as the Prince
Of Wales and the Grand Duke hered-
itary of Russia. The former is an
incorrigible rake, and the latter a
scrofulouS youth. There are no finer,
nicer and better educated young la
dies ia Europe, than the daughters
of King Christ TX. They would
grace any household, and would
make the best husbands indescriha-
bly, happy. And yet doomed to such
a lot, which, brilliant as it may seem
is at bottom but gilded wretched-
ness. Providence, too, seems to set
the seal of His disapproval on these
unions. Look at the way in which
young Alexandra of Wales is pining
away In London. Six years ago she
was the ::embodiment of health and
beauty and now she is but a wreck
of her former self, and not yet %.
And that sweet, bright girl, Dagmar
who was admired by everybody who
saw her in Copenhagen, is reported
To be.consumptive, prey To the mis-
erab bic climate of st. Petersburg, and
perhaps, also, to disappointed hopes
OF happiness. The good mother of
these girls is said To he profoundly
melancholy, and well she may be
when she looks upon the fate that
has befallen her lovely daughters,
linked a they are To men TO whom,
if they Were of private extraction, no
hon orablc man would intrust his
daughter.
