ARRIVED AND RoBBED.--Mr. f. W. Young re-
ceived letter from j. A. S. Jones, by Wednes-
days mail, stating that he had arrived in San
Francisco, on the steamer from Australia, last
ashore more than twenty minutes when he was
robbed of all the money he had-amounting to
$3.50. Jim did not state how the coin was
taken but said it was the " slickest " thing he
ever saw. He will probably return to Weaver
Vile in few days.

SINCE the Foreign Miners License has been
suspended, the merchants and other interested
parties inform US that the Chinese have become
very independent. Many will not work for
white men; others will work only enough to
make 'tgrub," and most of them will not work
at all. They cannot be trusted in the least,
and it is very nard to make them pay what they
already owe. So say our merchants, and they
argue that something must be DONE

"In answer to many inquiries as to the relis-

great energy, and will be carried out in good
faith to final success. A few tickets now re-

Massachusetts, Board of Agriculture.
We published last week a summary of
the first days proceedings of this Board
at its birmingham meeting. We had
made arrangements by which We suppos-
ed we should receive a report ofthe second
and third days session, but have failed to
do SO in season for insertion in this page.
We therefore make use of the report of
the Daily Journal, in anticipation of one
from our W reporter.
SECOND DAY.
The subject of "The Principles Of
Breeding" was introduced by an address
by Prof, James Law.
He entered upon a minute explanation
of the physiological phenomena which his
subject suggested. Sterility in animals
was attributed in many instances to the
bringing them to breeding when too
young. Such a course tended to reduce
the stamina Of the animal. Obesity or
excessive fairness was another cause
Breeding animals should be kept in good
condition, and in illustration of this he
gave the product Of two locks of sheep,
one in good condition and the other only
ordinary. 10 the former all the ewes pro.
duced either pairs or triplets, while 10 the
latter instance the progeny numbered one
aud q half to each eve.
The immense improvement in the quail
ity Of animals in England by care ia
breeding was alluded to. In the time Of
Cromwell the native horse of England
was a mean animal, but crossing with

Aph,hn," or foot onl month disease.

Aphthn," or foot nnl mouth disease. 1t
was a Kind of crupta,c Fever, the symp-
toms being u hot mouth, costiveness,
lameness, tightnes Of the skin, or "hide-
bound in the farmers phase. After
the grst symptoms blisters appear in the
mouth and on the teats and in the parting
of the hoofs. These degenerate into
ulcers which are liable, though not GER
tain, to result in permanent injuries,
especially to the feet and udder. In
some cases the hoofs have come entirely
of. The animal refuses its food, apparent
ly from soreness of the mouth rather than
entire loss Of appetite. The milk becomes
diseased and .unwholesome and when
drank by man or other animals produces
a similar state of disease in them. In
soma cases it has proved fatal to children,
and swine and dogs have both been badly
affected by the virus. 1t appears to or.
iginate in most cases in the hoof of the
animals, and-is not contagious through
the air. The spreading Of it is OCCASION
ed by the congregation of herds in pens,
where healthy animals, by stepping
among the scourings Of the diseased ones,
absorb the virus. 1t may be conveyed
also on the hands of a man going from
one COW to another in milking. 1t con.
tinues through a period Of fifteen or
twenty days. No immediate cure can
be expected, but the isolation of the
diseased animals was the first thing to be
done. The Professor recommended
treatment as follows Wash the mouth
with vinegar or some cooling liquid, such
as a dilution of carbolic acid, one part of
acid to one hundred and fifty Of waters !;
and for the teats, a wash Of one part of
carbolic acid to one hundred and fifty of
glycerine may be used. The hoof should
be cleaned and the space between part
ing of the hoof cleared Of detached scarf,
skin and horn by drawing a strong rag
roughly through t. Then apply to the
raw surface pure carbolic acid, and bind
with a rag covered with tar, tied between
the hoofs and around the p%astern.
The disease is very prevalent in some
parts of England, and English herdsmen
had said they would much rather deal
with pleuro pneumonia, bad as that was.
In view of the easy access o droves from
Canada, some general scheme for prevent
ing the passage of droves without inspec-
ton was recommended by the lecturer.
The subject was deemed of so much
Importance that the Board voted to hold
a special session to consider it.

CONDUCTED BY ALBERT CHAP MAN
Our County Agricultural Society.

Our County Agricultural Society.
In calling attention 10 the notice for
the annual meeting of the County Agri-
cultural Society, we would earnestly re-
quest a full attendance, and an active
interest in the same, on the part Of not
only our agricultural community but of
all our business men and mechanics gen.
orally.
All should be interested in sustaining
this organization and not leave the burden
to be borne by so few, as is usually the
case.
The officers of the society have been
too much embarrassed by not only the in.
difference, but the constant fault6nding
and opposition Of many who should have
a vital interest in assisting TO sustain them
in making the plans of the society sue
.cessful and Of general interest.
A large portion of the community seem
to be impressed with the Importance, not
ofmaking efforts for the well being of the
society, but of getting as much out ofthe
organization and giving as little in return
as possible.
A great source Of embarrassment to of.
icers who do their duty, is the absence
and indifference of those who do not. The
attendance of the town managers at the
regular meetings of the executive board
have been so small that the labor and re.
sponsibility Of conducting the affairs of
the society, and preparing for its fair has
fallen upon a very few, who have been
entirely unable to make the fair so at
t~ractive and successful as a full attend.
ance and hearty cooperation of the full
executive board would have secured.
A large number of the town managers
failed to not only put in an appearance at
the meetings and the fair, but to put up
the large posters, or send in signatures to
the constitution as members, although
they were all supplied personally or by
mail with posters and constitutions.
The neglect OF the town managers to
procure and send in the dollar member.
ships is undoubtedly the cause of the in.
ability of the officers to pay the full
amount Of the premiums awarded at the
last fair.
Had all the towns been as thoroughly
canvassed and returned as full a number
of members as the town of Cornwall un.
der its efficient manager, Mr.. Robbins,
the society would have been enabled to
pay all its premiums in full and have a
surplus on hand for future operations and
usefulness.
We eventually wish to see some plan
proposed to purchase the grounds that the
society may be enabled to receive the full
benefit of the receipts from its annual
fairs. A full attendance at the coming
meeting with any feasible plan and a hearty
cooperation Of our business men and
leading farmers and mechanics, would
easily secure this,and place the society on
a permanent basis and secure a more
hearty interest in its fairs and success.
