.AxGoRA GOATS. Ts.-The Grass Valley

.ANGORA GOATS. The Grass Valley
Republican says that company at
Nevada CITY, Cal has been organ
ized to 90 into the business Of rails
ing Angora goats. They propose to
start with capital of about 5000
\ considerable portion of the stock
has already been subscribed. one or
more of the stockholders residing in
Grass Valley. The company intend
to commence by purchasing four
hundred head of half breed ewes and
two or three full blooded bucks. 1t
is intended to pasture the animals
on the hills around, or wherever 1t
may appear for the best, and have
herder to watch them constantly in
the daytime and corral them nights.
The profits the company figured up
on four hundred of these goats for
ten wears are almost incredible,
They are expected to double in num-
bers every two years, beside yielding
each one their fleece every year.

strong doubts whether mere sprink

In all horses the neck should be firm
and arched-looking where it joins the
head. Firmness in this locality adds
greatly to the beauty of the horse, and
generally speaks we'll for the purity of his
breeding. The setting-on of the head and
neck should be such as to cause the nose
to project little forward; still it must
not be pushed SO far forward as to consti-
tute "star-gazer."
THE wINDPIPE SHOULD BE LARGE

NOT YET EXTlNGuiSHED.

The Big Coul Heap at the North Side Gus
Works Still Burning-One Thousand Tons
Reduced to Coke.
The Chicago Gas Light and Coke Company re-
ceived during the summer 10000 tons Of Pitts
burgh COAL which vas stored in an immense
shed at the works, near Division Street Bridge
On Friday morning fame issued from the heap,
and it was soon apparent that the lower stratum
WAS on fire, caused, it is supposed, by
the great pressure producing spontaneous
combustion. Fire engines were summoned
and have been playing on it since with but ittle
effect, as it burned yesterday herce1y as ever.
The only way to extinguish the s1nouldering
mass is to remove all that can be- removed from
around the fire, which will then exhaust itself.
Over one hundred men, twenty-five wagons, and
number OF Wheel-barrows are busy day and
night, and relays will be kept at work so as to
save as much as possible. The Mayor
visited the scene yesterday, and gave
the uae OF portion Of a street
in which to dump the coal. One Thousand tons
have been reduced to coke, and the entire loss
to the company, so far, is estimated at 800, 600.
Pure coal is safe when stored in bulk, no matter
how high it is piled, But this was impregnated
with more than it's fair share Of sulphur, which
ignited. At one time the works were threat
ened, but that danger is believed to, be past. AS
the destruction Of the apparatus would leave
the North and South Divisions in darkness for
an unknown period, the disaster would affect
everybody, and be very inconvenient during the
long winter nights.

Aary, Place Hy hand upon your head to seal upon
you fathers blessing, which will be sealed In heaven
for your good for there was Joy in heaven when you

elations Of God to comfort You, and Father will
reveal unto you many things while you sotourn in this

fulness Of the Priesthood with thy companion in the
kingdom upon the earth. For ever and ever thou
Rht live, till thou art satisfied and partake Of all the
glories Of Zion, and your name sha be handed down
to the 1atest generations. And your last days shall be

shal converse with Joseph and Hyriam, and many Of
the Holy Prophets since the world began; for thou

will give you in His Own due time, and in the hour

you every desire Of your heart with the blessing Of
eternal lives with al your Fathers household for ever
