The Law ON GEEsE-A very impor-
tant point on geese has recently been
decided by a Justice of the Peace in this
country, which we publish for the bene
fit of those Justices who are not posted
on this knotty question, The geese
were the property of an Irishnan, and
We suppose annoyed a German neighbor
for that gentleman captured them and
then went to the Chief Justice of the
town for advice how to proceed. The
Justice pulled the spectacles from his
nose, looking digniied and important,
told the German to keep those geese
secured, and fat thin well +; when they
were fat enough to Kill, the German gen
tlenan was TO bring him the latest, and
that was all there was for him to do
There seemed to be no disputing this
instruction, as the Justice informed him
that he had known law ever since he was
nine years old.-Eoacine 4dr0cute.

SILVER IN NEVADA.

2 1t is supposed since the various exca-
vations in the Constock lode that the
consolidated California and the Ophir
when they please-about $450.00O, 900
worth Of silver, and that the absolute
cost to the companies to get out that
value will be not fan from Sl50, 900, coo.
This is profit Of $500, 900, 900. But
of course this Will not be mined in a
year, Or two, or even five years, but will
companies well understand that they
can glut the markets with silver rs with
any other commodity; and therefore 1t
viii be their object to get out no more
than will insure large and steady profits
for a series OF years. 1t seems now TO
be conceded that Nevada contains more
silver than has been discovered in any
country III the world. At one time the
silver mines Of Mexico were deemed IN
surprisingly rich, but they have been
cast entirely in the shade by the recent
developments IN the Comstock lode.
Where silver ore is of extra good quail
ity it will yield $1,000 per ton, though
it is found profitable to work it when
not worth more than $50 per ton. 4
very good quality OF gold quartz will
bring 5000 per ton. This shows the
relative difference il the two kinds Of
mines, but It must be borne in mind
that when gold is found it is in far less
quantities than silver, and the fact that
the gold yield of California is reduced
to SO, QUO, 900 per annurn, shows that
the process OF exhaustion is going on
rapidly on the other hand, the silver
yieldiof Nevada has risen from a com
paratively small amount to $4,000, 600
or $15, 600, 600 annually.

MAGRUDER'S GOAT.

Mrs. 1Iagruder's baby, says Max Adeler
is carried out by nurse now, since the
accident to its carriage Magruder thought.
it would be a good idea to have q tame
goat to pull the coach, and he bought
one for the purpose but one day the
goat met another goat that differed from
him IN politics or religion, OF something,
and each undertook to convince the 9TH
er by janming him in the skull. Every
time Magruder's goat would rear up pre-
paratory to making a lunge forward,
Magruder's baby would lurch over back
ward, and when Magruder's goat struck
the other goat, the conclusion would
shake the milk III the baby's stomach
into butter. And sometimes the other
goat would aim at N[agruder's, which
would plunge headforemost into the
coach, and mash the baby up in most
fr1ghtfu1 manner. And in the midst of
the contest a couple of dogs joined In,
and Magruder's goat backed off and tilt
ed the coach into the gutter, and the
dogs, biting around kind Of generally,
would snap at the goat and cause it to
to whirl the baby aronnd just in time for
the bite; until at last the goat got dis
hearted and sprang through the fence,
leaving the coach on the other side, and
it struggled frantically to escape, while
the other goat crowded up against the
baby in order to avoid the dogs, and
finally Knocked the baby cut, and but
ted the coach to splinters. They say the
way Mrs. Magruder eyed Magruder when
they brought that baby home, mutilated
and disheveled, was simply awful to be-
hold but she didn't speak to him for a
week, and he had to soften her down by
buying an ostrich feather for her new
hat The goat is still at large. Any
body can have him that vans him, free
of charge. Magruder dosn't recognize
him on the street.

An EXTRAORDINARY TURKEY HUI

An EXTRAORDINARILY Turkey HUNT.
On Friday evening, as conductor Bar
ney's train, on the Illinois Central, was
passing through the timber region Of
Central Grove, a flock Of wild turkeys was
noticed running along the track consid-
cradle distance ahead OF the engine For
a few seconds, which seemed like minu-
ties, there was most exciting race but
the train was too fast for the birds, and
as. it came up with them the smoke-stack
knocked three or four of them to grass,
and Mr.. Barney caught one, a monstrous
gobbler, by the legs and so strong was
the bird, and he made such a struggle
that it was. only by desperate efforts Mr..
3. could retain the place on the pilot
with one halIi and hold the bird with
the other. He succeeded at last in get
ting him safely back into the baggage
car where it was found that his turkey
ship weighed % pounds. The bird was
fat, and in fine condition for Christ
mas Day, and on that day was served
up with oyster stufing.

AIERIcAN apples, says the Lor

AMERICAN apples, says the London
Grocer, are now selling at moderate
rates in provincial towns, both i'll Eng
land and Ireland. The highly colored
and well favored Baldwin is the COM
monest kind as yet. As usual, they
come in barrels, without any kind OF
packing materials, and come, as a rule,
in excellent condition. That apples
should be sent several thousand miles,
and then be sold as cheaply as home
grown fruit, is noteworthy fact. At
this rate of progress, frrlitless and cold
regions will soon be supplied with the
finest fruits at a cost that places them
within the reach Of all classes.

PROFESSOR BARKER, Of Philadelphia.
and formerly CT Yale College has recent
l. made q discovery of value 20 railroad
men. 1t is a metallic paint, intended
for application to journal boxes on
railroad cars. The paint, when heated
to about 1862 Fahrenheit, turns from its
original color, which is a deep, clear
red. to a pure black, and Immediately
on cooling it resumes its reddish hue.
The journal boxes being covered with
the metallic paint, trained hands detect
at a glance whether q journal has heated
or IS heating. Their knowledge now is
only gained when the woodwork has
ignited, and the damage has already
been done.

The Eureka Burrer Car spring.
AwnMsoroSIAS THE INVENTOR.

wILsfINoToNIAN THE INVENTOR
A few weeks ago, we took occasion to mem
ton the fact that a new car spring had been i'll
vented, which, owing to its superiority, was
likely to supersede most others now III use
The patent for this car spring winch is called
the Eureka, was issued, July 7th, to James G..
Pickela the inventor and general agent of
James 7. Hayes Diamond State Car Spring
Mauufactory, 10 whom he has assigned a half
interest IN the invention.
The Eureka is an edge rolled spiral spring,
thicker on the inner edge, and Of greater yerti-
cal diameter than the outer edge, and combinet
| lightness, strength, and elasticity. A test OF
the Volute spring. one of the best invented and
most used, compared with the Eureka, just i'll
vented, showed the following result The Vol
ute weighed % pounds and was borne down by
| 5000 pounds weight The Eureka, weighing
l2 pounds, still preserved considerable elastic
tv after g. 900 pounds had been applied to til,
tester. The new spring has been tested in sew
eral Rail Road centres with the same favorable
result.
The Eureka spring has been put to use upoi
several of the leading Railroads and where
ever it has been tried it is supersedinI
