THURSDAY, February lo.
BEEF CATTLE The market this
week has been quiet full, little snims'
ton having been shown at any time
during it's progress The quality OF the
offerings was scarcely as good as last

SHEEP.-The supply has fallen off
considerably since last week, yet II ls
FULLY equal to the demand, which is
very limited, the butchers being pretty
well supplied and the prospects, are that
prices will still go lower. There has
been slight decline already, with nn.

1ays after the storm, some children dis.
covered a horses head protrudipg from
a spow-drift. An opening was made,
a cutter was found, and in it 9 man
wrapped in buffalo robes sitting bolt
upright, and his icy hands the reins.
There are several instances like this re

1t is q plain recital Of facts, with no

How many went down before the
terrible blast OF Death that swept over
the State may perhaps never be known,
but the number is estimated at from
two hundred to four hundred.
Such storm was never known even
in this exposed latitude before. The
Indians in their traditions Of the storms
OF long ago have nothing equal to it.
Let us hope that it is the last, that no
other tidal polar wave" may sweep
over this fair State. carrying death in

feet between the top and the bottom.
The top of the stalls should be four inch
es wide and three inches thick. Take
out of the three-inch manger side for the
Stats the same as the bottom, allowing
fifteen inches for the stats to open.
Now put in the stationary Stats,
pin them through at the bot
tom, and pin strip of board over them
at the top three inches wide and one and
one-half inches thick the whole length,
and have the top edge as straight as pos
sible. Now make a slide three and one
fourth inches in width and one and one
fourth inches thick the whole length of
the stalls. If you cannot get one strip
long enough, halve them together at the
ends, and put pin through. Put this
slide on the top of the strip pinned on,
and fasten the latches to their proper
places on the slide. Drive piece of q
nail into the side of the lstshes to keep
them from falling too low. Let every
fourth blind board extend above the slide
slide to keep it in its place. This slide is
to be moved with a lever eight or nine
| feet long, extending out behind the cattle.
Fasten pulley five inches in diameter to
one of the blind boards over the slide.
Now fasten a small chain to the top of
the slide about eighteen inches from the
pulley, when the stalls are all open and
the latches down. Fetch this chain un.
der the pulley and fasten' them all at once
or fasten them one at q time when the
slide is drawn up. The lever must be fas
tened when the slide is drawn up, by put
ting pin through it, and into post ol
anything else substantially. B. T. ~

To Halter and Break q Colt.

Get the colt into small yard or On a
barn floor,w as little excitement as pos
sible; take whip with long lash, and
give him few cuts around the hind legs,
never striking him forward. AS soon as
he turns his head towards you, go tow
ards him, talking to him gently,
if he turns from you, apply the
lash; in short time he will follow you
and let you handle him. Then
take a strong cord about ten feet long,
fasten one end around his under jaw, as
you would around a cows horns, so that
it will not slip; pass the other end over
his neck on the off side and down through
the loop around his jaw, on the side next
to you; take the cord, step to one side,
give him sharp pull; he may go the
other way the first time; do notify to
hold him; go up to him, and pat him and
try him again, saying, "Come hereP'
When he turns his head or steps towards
you, pet him to let him know thst he is
doing right; never try to drag him for.
ward by main force. When he will not
come give him pull sideways, stacking
the cord as soon as you give him the pull
If the colt is about to lose his temper let
him rest for an hour or two. Never lose
your temper; be gentle but firm. AS soor
as he will follow you anywhere, put on 8
ell-ftting strap halter and hitch him in
the stable. If he is small colt, you car
use halter instead of a cord.-Cor R,ra

Grants First Term.

TO-DAY witnesses the termination of
President Grants first, and the. inaugura-
ton of his second, term as chief magis-
trate of the nation. His entrance into
Office four years ago was surrounded by
the most fortunate circumstances for a
future brilliant by contrast with the
past. His predecessor-Preside by
reason of an unparalleled act of atrocity,
the assassination of Abraham Lincoln
had endangered the peace of the country,
but lately restored through victory over
the rebellion, by a violent and unwar.
ranted antagOnism to the reconstru ction
policy of Congress and of the people; had
been impeached of high crimes and mis-
demeanors by the House of Representa-.
tives and tried by the Senate, barely es
Gaping conviction, and had retired from
Office with the inefaceable brand of 6
Judas in politics, a shallow trickster in
craftsmanship, and an unserupulous, dan
gerous man in public station. The lustel
of General. Grants military renown shont
the brighter against the somber back
ground presented by the infamy of th'
record of Andrew johnson. His election
was hailed with the most profound salts
faction by all classes as the guarantee o
a degree of peace, stability, and progress
which had been fatally Interrupted unde
the administration of : Mr.. johnson
whereby the, credit of the Governn1en
had been impaired; the industries of tn
people prostrated, and the permanency o
our free institutions seriously threatened
To say that the first term of Presiden
Grant has realized the just expectation
of the masses of the people is only to ez
press, less emphatically, the verdict G
reimbursement pronounced at the poll
last November.
