MR.. DIroR,-Reading in the PRESS this
morning, Mr.. Greeley's very gushing letter of
acceptance of the Cincinnati nomination, 1
was reminded of memorable acceptance of
a call to high position made several centuries
ago in England. 1t is recorded by Shakespeare
in the I'd part ofAKing John, as follows:
Cdde.-For our enemies shall fall before us,
inspired with the spirit of putting down kings
and princes,-Command silence. =

aside for waste paper which contains some

the memory of which has cheered and en-
Outraged you many time when almost
ready to despair under the pressure of
life's cares and trials.
Indeed, you hardly take up single
paper without perusing it. Just glance
over the sheet before you, and see how
many valuable items it contain. that wonId
be of service to you hundred times in

OF the year what a rich treasure YOU have
anticipated.

The Superior Times says; 1--WE learn
from parties by the Bayfield, road, that the
schooner Alice Craig which sailed from
Duluth on the End inst, having as passen-
gers Maj. 5. n. Clark, Indian Agent, and
Capt. p. ". Smith, of bayfield,, freightei
with supplies for the latter place, on Satur-
day night, when off Steamboat Island, en-
countered severe gale with which she
struggled for some time until heavy sea
broke over her carrying away her bow
spirit, yawl ard davits; in fifteen minutes
her toresail was split and her ma;nsheet
gone. Her Capt, Nelson Boutin, finding
1t impOsslbe'to weather the storm, headed
for Bark Point Bay where they anchored
one mile from land. The night was so Sc
Yerely cold, that by morning ice had form
ed OF sufficient strength to allow OF the crew
and passenger, walking to shore, which
they did, leaving the vessel fast in the ice
where it still remain $. From Bark Point
the party packed their movables to Moose
Lake where they met a team.by which they
proceeded to bayfield,, where they arrived
Thursday night last. Capt. Boutin we
learn is quite i'll with a fever brought on
by the exposure, and Capt. Smith is quite
unwell.
Wilt ixuuw that any little accident
OF that kind would not scare Nels. Boutin,
we also believe he can beat any ordinary
case Of fever in nine days at most, and
hope to hear of his recovery soon.

THE SABBATH.

The Sabbath must be observed as day
OF rest. Thi. do not state as an opinion,
but knowing that it has its foundation
upon law in mans nature as fixed as that
he must take food or die.-Dr. Willard
Parker, Of New York city.
As day of rest view the Sabbath as a
day of compensation for the inadequate
restorative power of the body under con-
tinued labor and excitement. One day in
seven, by the bounty Of Providence, is
thrown in as day Of compensation to per-
feet by its repose the ANIMAL S, STEM
John Richard Fare, NJ. D., of London,
England.
La Presse, one of the great secular jour
mails of Paris, has said: i" England owes
much of her energy and character to the
religious keeping Of Sunday. Why cannot
France follow her, as the Sabbath was
made for all men. and we need its bless
ing?"
The present Lord Chancellor of England
stated at public meeting, ~ am glad to
say that our Sunday in London is not yet
like a continental Sunday. Looking at
the question from the lowest point of view,
it is the especial duty and interest of teork-
ing men to discourage all attempt to inter-
fere with the seventh day as day of rest ::
for once let the Partisan system come in
vogue IN this country, under which the
scaf'olds of the public buildings were as
crowded with workmen on Sunday as on
any other day, and they would have to
work seven days for the pay now received
for SIX"
SO far as my observation extends, those
who are in the habit of avoiding worldly
cares on the Sabbath are the most remark
able for the perfect performance of their
duties during the week. l have firm be-
lief that such persons are able to do more
work, and do it in better manner in six
days, than if they worked the whole seven.
john c. Warren, NJ. D., Professor in
the Medical College of Harvard University.
A very profound and wonderful reform
has just been begun in Paris. The prin-
cipal shops-including those of nearly all
the linen diapers, hosier., silk MERGERS,
and vendors of ready made apparel-will
henceforth be closed on Sundays. The
merchants have taken this step of their
own accord, and the employees appeal to
the good will of the public to aid them in
making the measure general,--New York
Times, June s, 1869.
have long been of the opinion that it
is to the interest of the railroad and steam
boat companies to suspend operations on
the Sabbath, as it demoralizes the men and
makes them reckless, and so is the cause
of many accidents | believe railroad com
panies would be much more prosperous if
Sunday running was entirely suspended.

According to the Annual Report for
1870 there are $3.50, 500 head of live stock
III tue state OF W Wisconsin, valued at $40, 30
So. In 1850 the total value of live stock
IN the same state was 81, S97,3S5 The in
crease we see has been somewhat wonder
tul IN the space of twenty years. In 1870
the horses numbered 25O,0l9 head, while
sheep ran up to l,O69, 2S2 and horned cat
tie of all ages to 692, 293 head. The rear
ing of domestic animals in Wisconsin, it is
claimed by The report, is one of the most
profitable as well as one of the most agree
able departments of husbandry The state,
it Is further claimed, has an important ad-
vantage over many other states in the al
most entire immunity from destructive DIS
eases. We read: 'Our farmers have been
almost total strangers as well to the peuro-
pneumonia and foot all of New England,
the murrain of Middle States, the cholera
of the States of Illinois and Iowa, and the
infections of the Southwest. This impor
N'.''''V0 ~ ,.evruvrIuai,
but is evidently due to the exceptional
healthfulness Of the Wisconsin climate and
to the freedom of our focls and herds
from those exposures to which those of
other states are liable" With such an
advantage it is not surprising that there
should be growing appreciation of stock
raising among the farmers of Wisconsin.
The better qualities of blood seem to be
IN demand, and horses have been much
improved in value by the Importation Of
thoroughbred and other stations of an
proved form and pedigree. The mich
cows number 30S,3 SIT, and much attention
Is given TO the dairy. 1t is stated that the
farmers within the range of cheese factD-
RES airs so anxious to turn their milk into
money that they are in the habit OF
killing OF their calves at day old. or ot
the latest rs carly as their hides will be
saleable. This i, bad practice, diminish
ing as it does the supply of cattle for the
butcher, and thus raising the price of meat
IN the local market. 1t also explains why
horned cattle have not increased so rapidly
IN WISCONSIN as in some other states. In
1870 the products of Wisconsin dairies were
81, Il 3,o36 pounds of butter, and l,55o.7OS
pounds of cheese. Thus far the farmers of
the state have not shown that interest thew
should have done in increasing the milk
producing qualities of their cows by a
multiplication of better breeds, or at least
wider dissemination of improved blood.
The state is comparatively young, however,
and we may look for progress in this direc-
tion before long. Sheep interest is large
one, and the breeders have been at no little
expense In procuring the fine wool bearing
animals. In the higher branch of sheep
tnsbandry, Wisconsin claims to be able to
compete with the world The showing of
the grazing interests of the state in the
annual report is on the whole most graft
fying.-Tn1f, Field and Farm.

dogs that sheep-stealing is losing bust
