Terrible Adventure.

Captain Macarthur, of Kingstor, Can
ada, had a fearful adventure on the
Grand Trunk last week. He got up
from his seat and walked out to the
platform when the train was near Lam
caster, to find out how near he was to
the station. He overbalanced himself
and fell, but managed to save his life
by catching the couplings, and there he
hung by his arms in a position that Of
fered him very little hope of recovering
the platform above, in the one case,
and sure and awful death were he to
drop of, In the other No one could be
placed in more agonizing position.
Through his great strength, being of
great muscular power; he held himself
up while the train travelled four
miles, undergoing the greatest mental
as well as bodily suffering. No one
discovered his danger, as it was night
and very dark. When his strength was
exhausted, and he saw a bridge or a
tunnel on the track ahead which would
increase the danger of his situation, he
prepared for the inevitable plunge, and,
with prayer of despair ON his lips he,
let go his hold. Instant death would
have followed in ninety-nine cases out
of hundred, but, providentially, Mr..
Macarthur fell, more dead than alive,
into a hollow or excavation in the
track. The train PASSED over safely,
and lay there unconsciou from his in
juries and suffering for seven hours.
After daylight his reason came back,
and once more he entered into the con.
temptation of an awful situation. He
was unable to walk, but dragged him.

far off-some say two miles-and he got

black from the muscular exertions he
was subjected to; his boots and por-

his feet lacerated by being dragged
along the track. He got severe in

tanned consciousness to the last, and,
WREN made aware of the rapid approach
of death, bade adieu to his friends,
and. it is said, expressed rauch anxiety
for the safety OF the King. Great az

Arizona Diamonds.

At recent meeting of the California
Academy of Sciences, held in San
Francisco, Professor Geo. Davidson, of
the Coast Survey, stated that true dia-
monds had recently been found in
Arizona, the specimens having been
brought in by prospecting miners,
among great variety of minerals, in
Guiding rubies and garnets. 1t is
stated that the miners, not recognizing
the rough diamonds, had thrown away
some large and valuable specimens
The largest diamond brought to San
Francisco will, it is estimated, weigh
three carats when cut and polished,
and will then be worth $500.
The Alta California says that
diamonds have been found in fifteen or
twenty different localities of California,
but all were of small size the largest,
not exceeding n grains or weighing less
than two carats. There are large So
called California diamonds" exhibited
in the shops of San Francisco, but they
are only beautifully clear crystal quartz.
The true diamond is found in the gravel
deposits of the gold placers, but it is
asserted that washings for diamonds
would not prove remunerative. 1t is,
however, suggested that the Arizona
gold miners should acquaint themselves
with the appearance of diamonds in
the rough, and not lose the chance OF
enriching themselves by the accidental
discovery of precious gems.

Coddington as collateral for the fulfill
ment of contract made between him
and the Minnesota and Pacific Railroad
Company for 3, 900 tons of railroad iron.
The points decided by the jury were

bonds in question to the plaintiff was
not regular. The jury returned ver-
dict for the defendant. -

FatteufnU sheen.

April, if moderately fat, and 9cts. if
extra fat. A sheep that gains 20pounds
during the five winter months NAV be
considered as doing well. But this
would not pay for the food consumed if
we had to depend merely on the in
crease of weight of the sheep. We
should, at Sets. per h. get only SLIGO
for five months feeding. But if we buy
hundred pound sheep for cts. per n.
and it gains 20 pounds, and then sells
at 8 cts. per H., it would bring 80. so
and we get $500 for feeding, etc. This
will pay as well in our opinion as any
ordinary branch of farming ought to pay
The real point in fattsning sheep in
winter is to have the sheep nearly fat
before winter sets in. 1t will not do to
attempt to fatten the 'worst lambs.r
If We attempt to fatten lambs at all,
they must be of the very best quality,
and saould have extra food during the
summer and autumn.
Wewould advise the following course:
Select good, common, long wooled
ewes. Then get thoroughbred Cots
void ram. We should prefer one that
manifests tendency to early maturity,
rather than to extra size. Have the
lambs come in April or the first of May.
While in lamb, keep the ewes in good,
healthy condition; not too fat
and certainly not too thin
After they have lambed, feed
literally, so that the ewes win have
abundance of milk. This is q very
important point. If the grass is not
ready, give good clover hay and bran
with roots and little grain. We find
bran excellent food for sucking ewes,
either with Oh without roots. When
turned out TO grass, We would continue
to supply them with what clover hay
and bran they would eat also a little
grain, say from half q pint to pint
per day for each sheep. This viii give
the lambs a good start, which is half
the race. Let them have good pasture
during the summer and fall. III the
pasture is not first-class, feed little
oil-cake OF bran and grain.
Feed well, during the winter, on good
barley and wheat straw, with a pound
of oil-cake, each, per day, and towards
spring feed clover hay; or, If preferred,
feed clover hay during the whole win
ter instead of straw and oil-cake. The
next summer feed literally, and by the
first of November the sheep will be in
prime order. Then shut them up and
feed clover hay and oil-cake for about
six weeks, and send the sheep to the
market for Christmas mutton. By this
time the sheep should average 100
pounds each, and would command a
high price. The point we wish to
make is, that in our severe climate, we
should aim to fatteq our sheep dur
ing the summer. In the hands of ex-
perienced feeders, sheep can be fatten-
ed during the winter; and those who
can purchase the right kind of sheep
in the fall at ordinary rates, often make
good deal of moneyby fattening them
for market. But it is getting more and
more difficult every year 70 find the
right kind of sheep. And it certainly
will not pay to attempt to fatten sheep
that are in poor condition when winter
sets in. All that we should attempt to
do in winter is to finish off the sheep.

Many horses have the very unpleas-
ant habit of striking the toes of the
hind shoes, against the fore Shoes
Most horsemen will agree that it is a
fault belonging to some of the best, as
well as the worst. 1t more frequently

great activity or length of stride of the
hind legs; the fore feet are unable to
get out of the way in time: therefore.
anything which detains them, such as a
soft or heavy sell must assist the prac-
tice. The main point to be remedied
is the intolerable noise, from whence
the evil derives its name, and
this is often effected by max
ing the hind shoes square at
the toe, and leaving the toe of the crust
somewhat projecting over the shoe, by
which plan the crust receives the blow,
instead of the shoe, and does not make
any noise. 1t sometimes happens that,
from the repetition of these blows, the
crust is worn so thin at the toe as to
produce or threaten lameness, in which
case, the plan of shoeing mentioned
must be desisted from, and we must
put mp with the noise to avoid the
greater evil When square-toed shoe
fails in preventing clicking, it will
sometimes happen that shoe pointed
at the toe will succeed. which no doubt
arises from the circumstance of the
shoe, having SO small surface to come
in contact, it may therefore fail to
strike the fore shoe, but may 60 with

especially in low situations. This can
be best done by making a small hillock
Of dirt around the stems sufficiently to
throw off the water and not let it settle
about the roots. We have known
young trees to be killed by constant
immersion in water through most of tne
winter, and have frequently known
them to be stunted, from which many
of them never entirely recovered. On
the other hand, in summer these trees
should have the soil slightly bowled out
around them, in order that they may
have more abundant supply of water
than they would otherwise obtain. II
