A CALAMITY.

The inhabitants of the little village
of Keyport, situated on the eastern
coast Of New Jersey, have net
with : misfortune as complete and
disastrous in its nature as the total fail
IRE of all the crops would be in farm
ing community. The people of the
place were engaged almost exclusive
IN the business Of raising oysters,
The smooth surface of their bay con.
cealed 100000 of the savoTy bi-
valves, and therein consisted their sole
stock and store. Having planted ''the
seed this marine agriculture required
no blowing, hoeing or narrowing to
perfect the crop the proprietors had
only to wait in leisurelY ease TIL the
autumn months and tt en- harvest their
oysters aud pile up the dollars.
But few days since young man,
rowing from Staten Island across to
Keyport, found the wat above the
oyster beds alive. with the dreaded
"drum-fsh." So numerous we're they
that he killed a number with lis oars

achs fragments of shells and other ev-
licences of the destruction they had
been working among the oysters. His
report at the village caused great alarm
and an examination was Immediately
made, showing, however, that thel'
worst apprehensions were only too true
and.that 100000 empty shells wer

Worse than the weevll in q wheat

'vantages for obtainin G food which 9th

with supplementary apparatus in tn

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD.

Early next spring it is expected that
ground will be broken for the eonstruc
ton of the Northern Pacific Railroad
and in five years at the farthest from that
time, that it will be completed and in
running order. The length of this
road, from Lake Superior to Puget
Sound, will be only III miles and its
estimated cost $120, 000,0 900. A mag
niGcent land grant forms a basis for the
raising of funds and Jay Cooke i Co.
have engaged to act as fiscal agents for
the company, thus insuring the supply
of all the money needed to prosecute
the work with energy and to advantage
The route is much more favorable
FOR the building of railroad than that
Of the Central road now IN operation
1t is several hundred miles shorter,
its elevation is much less, the country
through which it passes is of a far su-
.perioreharacter and, though six degrees
farther north, its climate is much mild
er. Strange as this latter fact may
seem, it is nevertheless true and is east
ly accounted for. A constant south
west wind blows along our whole Pacific
coast; heated by its passage over the
tropical regions of the broad Pacific, its
effect is to give tat portion of our
country much milder climate than is
found in corresponding ATTITUDES else
where. As consequence we see that
Sitkaat Sc degrees of latitude has win
ter temperature no colder than Wash
iagton at SO degrees in the former
case however, the warm air, meeting the
colder curreuts from the interior, pre-
cipitates It's moistur6 in almost constant
rain. So also the lofty mountai Il ranges
Of California and Nevada absorb the
moisture and heat of these warm south
west winds, leaving the plains east of
them cold and arid deserts. But farther
north whore the mountains sink down.
the winds pass through and give the
Saskatchewan and Red River vail eys
and adjacent sections, . mild and equa-
bic climate rendering them capable Of
supporting dense population.
We Of Wisconsin are locally more
interested in this new road than IN the
one already built, for doubtless large
share ofthe travel and traffic which will
como aud go over ii, and especially il
The winter season, will pass through our
State and We hope before its compile
ton that cur enterprisiug commercial
city Of Milwaukee, which is doing SO
much now to extend her lines of cons
munication, will see to it that sh has
u direct communication with the eastern
terminus Of this great continental road.

one-quarter Of all its pieces. The Screw
and Steel Department is one of the
largest in the factory. its magical
little automata, run by nimble- fingered

every other part of the watch, brought

sword-blade-by heating, which leaves

size, and also one magnifed 100 times

screws with five hundred threads to the

threads are invisible to the naked eye,

HE BEGINNING OF THE END.-It has
often been said that the Pacific Railroad
would result in the destruction of
Mormonism, and we already begin to see
tendency towards that end Brig
nam Young is almost daily the recipi-
ent of callers from all parts of the coun-
try who are taking advantage of the
facilities the new line affords to visit
our Pacific States. Each visitor Of
course Introduces the subject of Nor
monism and its peculiar characteristics,
and Brigham was lately led to tell Sena
tor Trumbull that the laws of Congress
against polygamy would be disregarded
and their execution resisted. The Sen
ator told him that they positively shou d
be enforced: and Senator Howe intimated
the same thing in speech lately made
at Salt Lake City. The result of such
a clash of authorities would be that
polygamy, which is regarded and pun
i he'd in every civilized country as
crime, would be abolished and Mormon
ism, of which it is the very life, would
soon pass out of existence.

CHICAGO FISH Considerable is
being said by our exchanges concern
ing the harefaced swindles perpetra-
ted by Chicago fish dealers upon
eountry customers. Short weight has
become the rule rather than the excep-
ton, and 50 bold have the fsh-packers
become that packages are frequently
sent out weighing only 40 and 80
pounds which are marked so and 100
pounds respectively. The Chicago
fish inspector claims that with the
present opportunities he is powerless
to prevent the fraud. Until reform
is established in this respect, country
dealers will do well to obtain their
supplies at some ether market.
