RETIRING JUsTIcE.-For reasons that
happen in most all well-regulated, thrifty
families, Wyoming female justice had to
retire from the bench for short time.
The Burlington Gazette tells the rest:
"Mrs. Esther Morris, the Wyoming
female justice of the peace that there was
so much blow about in the papers not long
since, has been obliged to retire from the
bench for a season. 1t was a boy, weigh
ing twelve pounds. She is believed to be
the first justice of the peace that ever lad
such a thing occur since the world began"

man we ever had to dig bitches seldom
worked, when digging by the rod, more
than nine hours day. And II is so in
chcpping wood by the cord; the men
who accomplish the most, work the
fewest hours. They bring all their
brain and muscle into exercise, and
make every blow tell. A slow plod-

now mostly done by 1orse power, and
the farmer needs, above all else, q clear
head, with all his faculties of mind and
muscle light and active, and under COM
plete CONTROL. Much, Of course, depends
on temperament; but as a rule, such
men need sound sleep and plenty of it.
When boy on the farm, we were told
that Napoleon needed only four bours'
sleep, and the old nonsense of ''five for
man, six for woman and seven for q
fool" was often quoted. But the truth
is, that Napoleon was enabled, in q

won the affections of the wife. The de-

A LARGE GOVERNMENT CONTRACT.

The government, through its officers at
Fort Leavenworib, has just completed
a contract with the Missouri, Kansas Il
Texas railway company for The transport
talon of very large amount of supplies
aud stores to the forts in the Indian Ter
ritory aud to Forts Richardson and
Griffin in Texas, the supplies TO be taken
from Fort Leavenworth and st. Louis,
Mo. The supplies for Fort Sill, Indian
Territory, will consist of Indian goods
and stores for troops stationed at that
post. At this post there will be shipped
between three and four thousand tons,
and to the other forts probably an equal
supply. The contract was made with the
NJ TX 81 L. company in consequence of
the superior advantages afforded by
them for the shipment of supplies to
posts. The goods will be transported
by this road to the end of the track, and
will thence be conveyed in wagons to
the fort named, requiring an overland
transportation to Forts Richardson and
Griffin of about 400 miles, and of only
about $50 miles to Fort Sill. Messrs.
Maurice 81 Graham, of st. Louis, have
charge of the overland transportation,
and their high character as reliable bus
mess men and excellent reputation for
promptness and efficiency in the transae-
ton of this kind give every assurance
that the work will be done in amanner
creditable to themselves and satisfactory
4 all parties.
The NJ. X. s. T. company have inform.
| alton that large quantities of cotton in
northern Texas are awaiting shipment
over their line. The rapid construction
of the road through the Indian Terri
tory and its substantial equipment
give promise of large business in thii
line at an early day. We congratulate
our Texas friends and the shippers o
that great State upon having at an ear
ly day such excellent facilities for ship
ment by rail to northern and eastern cit
les. The completion of the road canno
fail to open up a very large trade be
tween Texas and our own state.
The road will be completed across TIT
Arkansas by July LIST, and by Septem
Der LIST will be on the south of the Cana
dian. This will enable the NJ, X. & L
company to afford extra inducement
for the shipment of Texas cattle. Texa
cattle drovers estimate the losses arts
ing from the difficulties in crossing tn
Arkansas river, one of the most treach
erous of our western rivers, at from on
to three per cent. At this rate the los
in each drove of from three to fiv
thousand, the usual size of the droveE
: would be from 5000 to 81, 900. 1t is es
. timated that there will be not less thai
half a million steers driven from Texa
t to Kansas this season. Upon this est
= mate the loss of from one to three pc
cent. in crossing the Arkansas foots uE
l it will be seen, to no inconsiderabl
sum. Provided as the road is with am
pie equipments, for shipment, the NJ
ks. n company cannot fail to do a Yer
: large business this seaeon in the Texa
: catlle trade.-LatcTenc Tribune.

I'D in circulation. OF the 100000
issued in 1868, it is supposed not less
than 81, 10000 have been lost or de-
stroyed, and will never be presented for
redemption. Ofthesc two issues there
fore, there has been lose to the people
of S6,500,O00. The basis on which the
supposed loss has been estimated is not
known, but it probably arises from the
fact that of the first issue all have been
redeemed except about S4,500,0O0. The
loss, however, may be much less thar
