Raising LObsters.

According to the Boston Journal of
Commerce, o new enterprise has been
initiated on the coast of Massachusetts,,
from which important results are conf
IDENTIFY hoped by the protector. This
has reference to the propagation of lob
sters, which are believed to be rapid y
diminishing in number on the New Eng
land coast, as they certainly have in
average size. Although several States
impose severe penalties upon parties
who may capture or offer for sale spawn
ing Holsters, yet the law is practically a
dead letter.
In the experiment referred to it is
said that an arm of The sea, with deep
channel in the centre, has been damned
up so as to food about thirty acres, an
archway being left in the dixie to permit
a proper ebb and flow of the tide. The
passage-way being narrow, the amount
of water that runs out in tide does not
very materially affect the interior pond;
but the exchange of water is ust enough
to keep the whole pure.
In July and August of 1872 it is said
that 10000 Holsters of different ages
were placed in the pond, and food, in
the shape of refuse fish from the mar
ket, supplied to them. In the ensuing
winter it was ascertained that good,
sizable, hard shell Holsters were ahun-
dant in the pond, and some Is, 900 males
were taken out and sold at good prices.
The females, when captured, were all
duly returned to the water.
The experiment continues to be sue.
cessful the present year, and it is said
that the water swarms with young lob
sters, and that there is every prospect
of very great increase. Nothing is
mentioned of the precise locality of this
experiment, but if the story be genuine,
there would seem to be nothing to pre-.
vent successful result from similar
enterprises elsewhere. One difficulty
to be anticipated will be from the vo-
racity of the Holsters in destroying each
other; and it is by no means certain
that, when a certain average to the
cubic yard is reached, a mutual destruc.
tion will not take place, such as pre-,
vents the economical rearing of spiders
for their silk, consequent upon theil
destructiveness when confined together.

The Pawnees and Sioux.
The Fight ON the second-Tho Ogal-
nllab's Side Of tho story.


The following official letter, having
reference to the Sioux-Pawnee battles,
was forwarded from Sidney, by Col
George A. Woodward, Fourteenth In
fantry, and was received Mt the Military
Headquarters of the Department of the
Platte, in Omaha, Nebraska, on Tues
day, 10Th inst.
OoAuALnAH, SIOUX CANT,
WHITE MANS Fork, Aug. s, 1873.
Col. WOODWARD, Commanding Post,
Sidney, Neb.:
Sir: On the morning of the second
of this month six Ogalallah Sioux In
dians came in from ascout and reported
the Pawnees in camp on the Rec fork of
the Republican. The news created
great excitement in camp, and the
Sioux decided to go and fight them be-
fore they had time to attack our camp.
Little Wound came up to me and asked
if hal any orders to keep him from
going to fight them. l told him I had
not. He said he had orders not to go
to their reservation or among the whites
to fight them, but had no orders i'll re-
gard to this part of the country. I told
him 1 would go with him and see the
Pawnees, but he said it would be of no
use, as the young men had determined
to fight, and no one could stop them.
They say L prevented them from going
to the Utes, and they came up and stole
their horses and killed one of their men,
and they thought the same thing would
occur if they did not strike the Paw
nees first. They started out on the Sd,
and were joined by the Brules from Mr..
Estis' camp, and proceeded to the Paw
nee camp. On the morning of the 4th
they came on camp of about thirty
lodges. They were just moving camp
when the Sioux charged them. The
Pawnees killed are variously estimated
from 80 to 11S, mostly women and
children. Most of the. men were
absent, and the Sioux suppose they
were out hunting. The Ogalallahs
took in all seven prisoners-three
women and four children, all girls,
from two to ten years old. The Indi-
ans who have the prisoners are Black
Bear, Torn Belly, Mad Horse, Black
Hawk, Grey Eyes son-in-law, Flying

Varieties i'm Fashions.

A loosely waved tress of false hair is
now worn across the head, Just above
the forehead. This pretty fashion is
welcomed by ladies who have burned or
worn off their front hair in frizzing it,
as this enables them to smooth away
their own front hair out of sight, and
let it grow long enough to be parted in
the middle and drawn back in classic
style.
A novelty in vogue aboard is rough
looking gimp and fringe, said to be made
of common twine. 1t is used for trim,
ming Turkish toweling, bamboo, fax
linen, and other ecru fabrics.
Moses are much used for trimming
ball dresses of white tulle or tarlatan
Other summery garlands are of green
leaves and intertwined vines with deeI
fringe of white hyacinths, harebells, OF
lilies es-of-the-valley. The fringe edges
over-skirts and head fiounces.
For protecting the facing of skirts
that drag on the ground an inner facing
is now used of dark ell cloth or morocco
bound with braid. 1t is more substan
tial than the pleated wigging, which il
so soon discolored and worn out. L
costs twenty-five cents a yard. Two
yards are sufficient for skirt, as it il
only placed on the back breadths.
Belts with pockets attached, and ira
Yelling bags made of alligators' skins
are the most novel importations of the
week, and are said to be the caprice o
the season abroad. This leather is I
light ecru color, with many irregular in
dentations, and is mounted with gilt
oxidized silver, or Russia leather.
Scarfs of thin white India cotton anG
of bamboo, with gay Roman bars fol
borders, are tied around black or white
hats, worn in the country by young
ladies. Those with black striped Dor
ders and fringe are also very stylish.

STEALING HEAVENS LIVERY. The
great alcoholics Remedy, VINEGAR
BITTERs, is everywhere driving pestifer-
ous rum potions out of the market.
That famous combination of the finest
medicinal herbs on the continent OF
America, is accomplishing such cures
of diseases which affect the stomach,
the liver, the bowels, the kidneys and
the nervous system, that the grateful
masses have adopted it as their Stand
ard Specific. The various rum bitters
have gone down before this pure vege-
table antidote like tenpins before we'll
aimed ball. The people have at length
discovered that all the spirituous excit-
ants are worse than shams-that both
morally and incidentally they are mimi
cal to the well-being and safety of the
community. 1t 'front.' do. The hand.

Earth's Highest Spot.

The highest inhabited spot in the
world is the Buddhist cloister of Hanle,
in Thibet, where twenty-one priests
live at an altitude of 16, 500 feet. The
brothers Schlagintweit, when they ex-
plored the glaciers of the Ibi Gamin in
the same country, encamped at 21, 900,
the highest altitude at which a Euro
pean ever passed the night. Even at
the top of Mount Blanc Professor Tyn-
dall's guides found it very unpleasant
to do this, though the Professor him
self did not confess to feeling as bad as
they. The highest mountain in the
world-heretofore supposed to be
Gaurisankar, in Thibet-is now said
to be Mount Everest, in the same range.
1t is 29,0O3 feet, and the condor has
been seen "winging the blue air" 500
feet higher.

FRAUDS IN FERT1L1zERs.-The PERU

FRAUDS IN FERTILIZERS. Peru
yian government has instituted legal
proceedings against several dealers in
fertilizers in New York. As the case
is likely to receive full investigation,
we do not think it advisable to publish
the names of those houses that are men
toned in the charges. In the mean
while we would advise our agricultural
friends, if they wish to purchase Peru
vidn Guano, to see that they get it ;
and the safest way is to allow no unre-
liable go-between to intervene between
themselves and the authorized agents
of the Peruvian government.

An Indian told up at Leech Lake,
Mimi, that the way he got whiskey in
Brainerd was as follows They got up
in the rear of the buildings, where there
are two holes in the wall out of one
hole an arm is thrust to receive the
money and jug, and out of the other
hole the whiskey-governed in quantity
by the amount of money received
through the first hole referred to-was
passed by another arm. The face of
the seller is never seen, but the Indian
said that generally the one that took
the money was other than the one that
passed out the whiskey, showing two
persons engaged in it.

A discontented couple living in Ne
braska, being desirous of securing funds
wherewith the lady could take a jour
ney to Europe, recently sold their three
year-old child, with COW, to a well-to-

demanded was 800 for the child and
$25 for the COW, but compromise was
finally effected on 800 for the two.
