THE CHOLERA.

"A New York journal thinks we need
not apprehend much danger from chol-
era so late in the season. 1t says The
telegraph, indeed, bringsus such strange
and contradictory tidings each alternate
day, both with respect to the cholera,
the famine in Persia, and the potato
blight in Ireland, that We cannot attach
implicit credence to any cry OF wolf,
Still, we would not advise any of our
readers to take the receipt for cholera
which the woman who died from dysen-
terry in Washington street lately swal-
lowed, viz: Twenty stale peaches, few
tomotoes and Watermelon Temper,
ance in eating and drinking is always
desirable. But, especially, in close and
oppressive autumn, with cholera in
prospective, it is necessary to become
ascetic more or less. With these pre-;
cautions we need not be apprehensive
that at this late period Of the summer
the dreadful Asiatic scourge will 90 us
much injury, or even reach us.

AQUATIC SPORTS.
The FOur-0ared Race i'm Halifax
HarbOrEA Brilliant Effort.

llHrDOE-A
HALIFAX, September /. = There probably
never was a finer four-oared race than that
which took place in Halifax harbor yesterday.
The unusually large number of competing
boats, the Spirited start. the almost equal
contest down 10 stake boats between i've
crews. the struggle narrowing down to four
and then 10 three. on the home stretch and
final, the tremendous efforts of an English,
American aud Nova Scotia crew, ending by
the narrowly gained victory Of the former,
made the race one of the most brilliant efforts
in the annals of aquatic sports.
The course was three nautical miles in
length. In drawing for position. the Taylor
crew got No. /, giving them place near the
pier, The Renforth crew came next then three
Nova Scotia crews. while the American crew
got the worst position, on the outside and near
the eastern shore Of the harbor.
Atl:54 pm. the signal was fired. and the
swift boats leaped away 30 nearly together
thatit was impossible to say which got the
water first Rsche's boat fell behind after a
few minutes, but the other FIVE kept together
pretty steadilyfor the first two miles. The
Renforth crew turned first, then the Taylor
boat, then the Prior crew, next the Ameri-
can, andlast thsBartsreerew the sixth being
now as good as out Of the race.
The Taylor crew led-Renforth next. About
a boats length behind were the Nova scotias,
and last, the Americans. The crowd upon
the stands and wharves had their faculties
concentrated in an intense stare when the
boats shot BY and up TO the winning line. and
did not raise cheer for some minutes after
the gun fred to announce the close. Bus few
among the thousands assembled were certain
which had won. The judges finally an
nounced that the Taylor Winship crew were
the victors-time IS minutes and IS seconds
winning the $500 rFize. The Prior crew WAS
eight seconds behind the victors, and the
Americans came up FIVE seconds later.

like every other Western town with q
harbor of three feet of water and two
propellers in the ofing, ii is destined
to be the principal seaport of the Uni

melancholy musings Of the Connecticut

(which was twenty miles from the near
east nayigable water) would have been
seaport town if it hadn't been burnt
by the British" There is grain of
truth in this which will apply to Chica-

Duluth yet to take the suggestion to
heart.

The DA1RY-MILK PER Cow,

The strong doint in the management of
this farm is its dairy, and everything is
arranged to make dairying profitable
business. The cattle are carefully herd
ed, housed and fed; the milk as soon
as drawn, is cooled by setting the vessels
in ice water, and keeping them there un-
til cream enough has risen. 1t is then
skinned, the cream is churned and the
milk is set for cheese, and finally the
whey is dried down and made into kind
Of cheese.
From 100 pots (94 quarts) of milk
they get six toe light pounds of butter, ten
pounds Of cheese, and from thirteen to
fifteen pounds of whey cheese. They keep
fifteen or twenty goats, and the milk Of
these is added to the whey to make the
whey cheese, but this is only matter of
taste, for there is large quality of this
cheese made simply from whey without
anything else whatever. In the annual
reports of the college, the director pub
fishes every year an account Of the milk
yielded by each COW, month by month.
From these tables 1 have condensed the
following statements, and have reduced
the weight and measures to our standards.
The Ayrshire cattle are fair specimens of
that stock, and are liked better than the
native Telemark cattle, though tender and
more subject to disease of the lungs
The returns are made from April l Of
to April Of each year. From April l
1868, to April l 1854, there were twen-
ty Ayrshire COWS which gave milk. Their

and end of the year, and l have set down

There were emily fifteen students in at
tendance, the other scholarships not being

came there in 1859, and the graduates
have not been out long enough to make
much impression on Norwegian agricul.
ture. The faculty is an able one, and
their work is we'll done, but l do mol
think the College has much hold on the
people. The farm occupied is in fine con-
dition it was originally stony, poor ant
wet tract of land, producing nothing bu
birches and Norway spruce, and, wher
cleared, yielding only moderate crops o
rye, oats, barley, potatoes and grass. Tit
stones have been cleared off $4,000 cart
loads,) the ground thoroughly underdrain
ed with tile made on the farm, artifcia
manures have been used to enrich thu
soil, good crops of wheat, as well as o
the other grains, have been raised, the
meadows of cultivated grass are dry
warm and luxuriant, and herd Of fifty
fine Ayrshire and Norwegian cows suppl.
the milk for model dairy. 1fthis farm
were only located nearer Christiana, wher,
it could come under the eyes of the Stor
thing (pariament,) and of the enterpris
ing and literally educated people of thu
country, it would do n noble work. II
see those cold soils naturally producing
only birch, or oats and sour grass, warm
ed by undertaking, and titled to success
fully grow wheat, must convince the mos
incredulous; and the people who, with
population of a million and a half, sup
port seven hundred students at the Uni
versity of Christiana would not be SLOW
to learn from and to fill with students al
institution which brings such benefits t.
their agriculture.

road and track-laying is rapidly progressing tow

ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keepit clean and vigorous.
Its occasional Use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those dele,erious substances which
make some preparations dangerous and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a
