A AS A SPORTSMAN,
How His ExcslIsnoy Got Some venison
In Pennsylvania.

CALEDONIA. Elk county, Pa, juno
10.-rhe President, on his recent fish
ing excursion In this State, was the
fish angled for.
Russell Errett. who lately held a
lucrative place in the internal revenue,
and later still a more profitable one In
the State Senate, wants to be inaue
Collector of the port Of Philadelphia,
and to this end Is seeking the remova
of the present incumbent OF that Office,
Mr.. Comfy, who was not very active
In the canvass last fall. 1t occurred
to the minds Of certain patriotic gem
tlemen that 1t was just the proper
thing to invite the President to come
over into Pennsylvania to fish for
trout. He came. He saw Errett's
| strikers aud Comly's enemies. He
conquered a few speckled specimens OF
the tinny tribe.
From Youngwomanstown the party,
| reinforced by Colonel Noyce and 9TH
ers, moved on up the Sinnamahanning
to Driftwood, where they switched on
OH to the Allegheny Valley Railroad,
now building up Benefits Branch,
and In care Of Colonel Phillips, Presi-
dent of the road, moved up the line as

there was quite an advance In Usher.
mans wages. Men were In demand at
IS per day. One man tlsied all day
and reported Mt night with tour trout,
and went home with IS and n good APP
petite for his supper. Alter satiating
their appetites for trout, their palates
became etchy for ycnlson. The Presi'
dent must have n deer at all hazards,
so they applied to two of our most sue
cessful hunters, aud were told IL was
out of season to kill deer, and a fine OF
$50 would be imposed, which would
make venlsou dear meat. But they
said they did not care for the cost-the
deer they must have. AS there was no
hope Of obtaining n deer from the wild
hauntS of the forest in the time allotted
them. our hunters played a game SO
successfully OIL the party that they left
entirely ignorant Of the joke, except
Phillips, who had to be let into the
secret to carry out the arrangement.
Some six miles up the stream was n
tame deer,'an old buck, so very poor
that the hunters IT fused to take 1t I'M.
I'll Phillips was consulted. The price
fixed was $50. Phillips said take the
deer, and furnished the money. SO the
old buck was killed, dressed and taken
to Grants headquarters ut Mix Run,
where our hunters received S2O for
their hunting exploit, AMI President
Grant and attendants lett well pleased
with their deer at $7O.-Corr. n. Y.

How CIRCUS HORSES ARE TAUGHT TO
DAscs.-It Is done, the Prairie Farmer
informs. us, by the person before him
hitting him Oh the shin with a long
cane or whip : he lifts up that leg the
other Is hit, he lifts up that; then the
first is again struck. and so on. The
horse soon fines out what Is wanted,
aud like the stupidest OF ourselves,
would, OF course, prefer the little
trouble of lifting a leg to avoid a hit
on tile shin. 10 this he gets so awake
that the Nero motion Of the stick or
whip Is sufficient and rs the mans
body naturally inclines or waves to the
right or left, as he moves The stick or
whip to strike. the horse gets so accus
toned to this that the mere swayiuS Of

a sufficient hint to him and some mo-
ton Of this sort will be observed In tho

A Grumble.


The local of the Salt Lake Journal
has hard work to get police news from
the Mormon Justice, II We may judge
from the following:
Elsewhere. East and West, reporters
have free access to the docket OF police
courts. so that they may know what
business Is transacted aud give pub
licity to the same. Here. however,
such Is not the case, and II we wish TO
know what cases the Police Judge may
have to try, or has tried. n whole day
has to be spent ut the City Hall In
order to obtain tho news. Why 1t
should be so We are ut n loss to know.
unless it BIZ that Jeter Clinton Keeps
no particular record, enters down just
what cases he thinks proper. and lets
the balance pass. Evidently :here is
something wrong In the management
Of our Police Court, otherwise the
officers would have NJ objections to
giving reporters free access to the
docket when they wish It. This state
of affairs warrants US asking for an
explanation. Why is this thus, I'M
maculate Jeter.

Care OF plants in Dry weather.

begin to hear my neighbors say there
is no use in cultivating the ground among
plants because there are no weeds growing
and they do not believe in stirring soil IN
time Of drouth. Now l believe this is a
great mistake, at least my practice has al
WAYS been to stir the soil more frequently,
il possible in dry weather than in wet. 1t
may be that am wrong in this but have
always thought there was marked bene-
fetal result produced by frequently stirring
and pulverizing the soil even in time OF
drouth. Turning down the dry, hct sur
face soil, and bringing up the cool from be.
low, appears 70 cause condensation of
moisture from the atmosphere, from
whence it can be drawn no matter how Sc
we're the drouth. Laying theory aside, we
can soon get at the facts in the case by
irving both systems side by side. l
am keeping the hoes, pillow and cultivator
going among my corn, potatoes, and otner
farm and vegetable crops, without paying
any attention to the growth of weeds. In
the flower garden do the same thing, and
where the soil is deep and rich, there APP
pears to be no cessation of growth, although
the drouth through which we are passing is
quite severe. Those who prefer shallow
! plowed soil, are welcome to it; for my part
do not want one less than twelve inches,
and would have it stirred two feet if !
could without mourning too much expense,
A piece of sponge two feet square will hold
moisture longer when exposed to the sur
than one or two inches, and the same trutf
holds good in regard to soil. own to be
ing Just enough in the old fogy line to be
lieve in deep culture every time. 4

Some interesting facts in ragard to the
first flag Of the United States are given IN
Harper's Magazine for July:
"rhe construction of the first national
standard of the United States, as design,
from which the STARS and Stripes was
afterward adopted, took place under the
personal direction of General Washington,
aided by a committee of Congress author
lied to design suitable flag for the nation,'
at Philadelphia, June, i777.
"This took place at the residence of Mrs.
Ross, relative of Colonel Ross, in Arch
street. between Second and Third, where
General Washington and the committee
completed the design, and employed Mrs.
Ross to execute the work. The house is
still standing (No. $3.50. Mrs. Ross was
afterwards Mrs. Claypoole. Her maiden
name was Griscom, and, according to the
fashion of the times. she was called
Betsy
"Betsy Griscom had, before the Revolu-
ton, acquired some knowledge of the up
holder trade, as it was then called--an
occupation synonymous with that OF the
modern upholsterer-and at the time was
carrying on business on her own account
in her little shop. One day, probably be-
tween the 23d of May and the 9TH Of
June, 1777, during which period Wash
ington was in Philadelphia, there
came to her the commander-in-
chief, the Hon. George Ross, and other
gentlemen, members of Congress, who de-
sired to know whether she could make
them flag according to q design which
they would produce. She intimated
her willingness to try. The design was
for q flag of thirteen red and white
stripes, alternate, with union, blue IN
the field, spangled with thirteen six
pointed stars. Mrs. Ross expressed hel
willingness to make the flag, but sug.
gested that the stars would be more
symmetrical and pleasing to the eye i
made with five points, and she. showed
them how such star could be made
by folding sheet of paper and producing
the pattern by single cut. Her plan was
approved, and she at once proceeded to
make the flag, which was finished the next
day. Mrs Ross was given the position o
manufacturer of flags for the government
and for some years she was engaged in tina
occupation. The business descended tt
her children, and was carried on by hel
daughter, Clarissa Claypool, who volunta
rily relinquished it on becoming member
of the society of Friends, lest her handi
work should be used in time of war;"

CHARCOAL FOR FowLs.-The benefit
which fowls derive IRON eating charcoal is,
l believe, acknowledged. The method of
putting it before them is, however, not well
understood. Pounded charcoal is not in
the shape in which fowls usually find their
food, and consequently is not very enticing
to them.
/ have found that corn burnt on the cob,
and the refuse-which consists almost en-
tlrely of the grains reduced to charcoal, and
still retaining their perfect shape-placed
before them IS greedily eaten by them,
with a marked improvement in their health,
as is shown by the brighter color of their
combs, and their sooner producing great

How EASILY BUTTER is SPOILED

How EASILY BUTTER is SPOILED
A farmers wife writes to an exchange !:
"Of all the products of the farm, butter is
most liable to be tainted by noxious odors
floating in the atmosphere. Our people
laid some veal in the cellar, from which q
little blood flowed out and was neglected
until it had commenced to smell. The re-
suit was that a jar of butter, which | was
then packing, smelled and tasted like
spoiled beer"
Another lady writer observes that there
was pond of filthy, stagnant water few
hundred feet away from their house, from
which, when the wind was from certain
direction, an offensive eff1uvium would be
borne on the breeze directly to the milk
room, the result of which was that the
cream and butter would taste like the disa-
greeabe odor coming from the pond. AS
soon as the pond was drained there was no
more damaged butter. -R,ual Neao Yorker.

NICE BUTTER. Have everything scalded
clean skim as soon as the cream is firm !;
leave no milk with the cream-which must
be kept in stone crock, with tablespoon
of salt in the bottom-in cool place in
summer, and stirred with wooden spatula
once day, which insures quick and easy
churnings. If not allowed to stand over
four days, the butter will come in ten
minutes. Work out the buttermilk clean;
then to five pounds butter, add one teacup
pure fine salt, one teaspoon white sugar,
one of saltpeter. Work in thoroughly.
Let il stand only twelve hours, then work
out all moisture and your butter can't be
