PERSONALLY short time since we noticed
the departure of our fellow citizen Daniel
Head. ESQ.,, for, LossAngelos, CAL, but we
deem him worthy Of more than passing
notice. a
He came to this city from Antioch, in 1S4S,
and engaged in merchandising in the store
under the old Rupals House, bringing many
of his old customers from his former place OF
business. About that time what was known
as the South Road was opened to the public,
his means contributing greatly to that I'M
provement, and through which much trade
was brought to our city. He contributed
largely toward opening the plank road, and
building the Court House, and again to the
Kenosha & Rockford r. R., always looking
to the best interests of our city rather than
to his personal profit.
In 1857 he was chosen chairman Of the Har-
Dor Committee, and gave much of his time
TO that important trust, asking no compensa-
ton and probably more real good was done
to the harbor at that time with small amount
of money, than has been done since with pet
ter facilities and more capital, For several
wears he was Alderman and School Com
missioner; was twice elected president of the
school board, once of the city council, and
twice of the county board of supervisors.
Never soliciting favors as an of1ce-seeker,
but was always ready and willing to bear his
share of the burdens of the community cheer
fully. Nfb#f FF
He left his friends and business associates
with many regrets. We wish him success,
with the hope that his future business asso-
Citations be as pleasant in his new home as
has been his past with u.s.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT An accident occur
ed at Harlem q short distance this SIDE OF
Rockford on the Kenosha & Rockford sdiyls-
ion, last Tuesday evening, by which Mr. Hen
.ry P. Taylor, postmaster and station 'agent'
lost his life. The train had several fiat cars
attached which the, conductor desired to leave
on the side-track at that station, and the en-
gineer signaled for the switch to be changed,
then uncoupled from the train and ran ahead,
for the purpose OF making a !" flying switch. =
Mr.. Taylor was seen TO come out of the de-
pot with lantern and walk towards the
switch, but It is supposed that his lantern
went out, as she brakeman saw nothing OF
him--and the fiat cars continued running on
the main track. On going back to ascertain
why the switch was not turned, Mr.. Taylor
was found on the ground near the track. hav-
ing been struck In the right side by one o.
the cars and thrown against wood-pile. The
is that he did not see the FIAT
cars, and did not know there were any on the
train. He lived about an hour and aIhait
after being struck. Ks8AbH&skAA

Telling n Sleeps Age.

TIE only correct and reliable way of
determining the age of young sheep is by
their teeth. After the last teeth have APP
peared, go that ''the mouth is full, it will
be impossible to determine the age with
reliable certainty. Like neat cattle, sheep
have no incisor-teeth in the upper jaw.
The age must be determined by the APP
pearance of the incisor or front teeth of
the lower jaw. At two months old, all the
lnclsOrs OF the lower jaw have in most
lambs appeared. These incisors are re-
tanned until the animal is twelve to SIX
teen months old, when they begin to be
displaced, just as children shed their teeth;
but not all at once The two central in
clsors are displaced and renewed first by
permanent ones, which will have attained
their growth when the animal is two years
old Ii Te look at the teeth of a sheep
two years old, it will be seen that the two
central lnclsors have usually attained their
full size. The next year, one lncisOr on
each side Of the central pair will displace
the first teeth, and will be pushed out even
with the central ones When the animal
is between two and three years old, the
next pair of incisOrs will be renewed.
After three years have elapsed, another
set OF incisors will have appeared. Be
tween the ages of four and five the mouth
will be full of incisOrs. After sheep is
five years old, it will be found impractical
bic to determine whether the age is five,
SIX, or seven, unless some of the incisOrs
have begun to disappear After the
seventh or eighth year, some of the side
incisors begin TO show signs of decay, or
to disappear entirely Ii the teeth APP
pear old and decaycd, and some are en-
tirely gone, We can safety conclude that
the animal is over eight years old. Judg-
ing of the age beyond this period will be
found no more reliable than shrewd guess
ing.-H6drM and Home.

The Proper Depth of Drains.

A WRITER in the Practical Farmer
writes as follows:
In all localities, when under-drains are
required, drain may be made four feet i'm
depth and be no more effectual in convey
ing away the excess of water, than if the
depth had been only thirty inches. For
example, if most of the water veins were
about two feet beneath the surface a drain
thirty inches deep would collect all the
surplus water quite as efiectually as if the
same drains had been sunk to the cxpen-
sive depth of four feet. On the contrary,
if the water veins were over thirty inches
below the surface of the ground, the bot
tom of the drain should be made few
inches below the point where the veins
are cut of. Therefore, we have this rule
for determining the correct depth for max
ing under-drains i'm any locality, namely
depth of thirty inches, always, if it is
practicable to sink drains to such n
depth and have the advantage of
sufficient fail to carry off the water !;
and deeper than thirty inches il the
water veins are not reached. In many in
stances, the first system of water veins lies
fully three feet from the surface of the
land. When such is the case. the bitches
should he made fully three feet and a half
in depth. The digger can determine in
many instances whether there is really a
necessity for sinking ditch deeper by
observing from whence most of the water
comes. If the water continues to bubble
up in the bottom of the ditch, while only
a limited amount issues from the sides Of
the ditch, the depth should be increased.
