This island receives its name from the
the fact that it was owned by Wouter
Van Twiller, the second Dutch Governor

from the Indians. 1t had previously been
known as "Pagganck," or Nut Island.

The Six Brothers, Band. of this ci

The Six Brotheus' Band, of this city,
is in demand. They played for the en-
tertainment given by the Catholic Semi
nary in this city, Thursday night until 12
o'clock, then went to Laporte before day
light, and played for the Editorial Asso-
citation and the Standard Club all of Fri
day. Friday night they went to Fort
Wayne, where they had an engagement
for Saturday and Sunday. The citizens
of Laporte, and the editors who were
there were delighted with their music.
We have never before had anything to
equal it in this part of the country. The
band will be we'll known hereafter, and its
services will surely be in demand. They
not only make good music; but they are
gentlemen of correct habits. They have
been in this country but short time and
labor under the disadvantage Of having
not vet acquired knowledge of the En-
glish language-but they will soon RENE
dy that.

LaPorte and the 4th of JuIy--Mad
Dogs, &C., &c.

The Fourth came and went and no one
was badly scared or hurt. Early in the
morning huge torpedoes were exploded,
and several guns fired, The wind blew
'fuiiously and the dust filed the streets
and air. A few private parties held fami-
ly unions, and had their keg oflager, their
music and their dance. The Viola did
service during the day ON Clear Lake.
The LaPorte Band played on Board part
of the time. The German Catholics held
a union at the Beer gardens at the north
part CT the city. Beer suffered there.
The wheel of fortune was turned, and
small prizes were awarded to the fortu.
nate. There were two or three other pic
MICS of minor dimensions. The children
enjoyed themselves hugely from the ap.
pearances, with their fire-crackers, &c.
Outside of the above it was the most
quiet day for 10 years, at LaPorte. Du-
ring the last days of June mad, or infu-
rated dog, made a scatterment of our
good people, by his untimely appearance
in one of the principal streets. But un-
luckily for lady near at hand, the dog
succeeded in biting her. This fired our
people up to terrible rage, and in less
than "a hours thereafter, they had dis
patched more than hundred dogs. Good
for the people, we say.
The draymen, we are told, were allow
ed so cents each, for dispatching and re-
moving the dogs from the CITY, Men
were employed to patrol the streets, arm
ed with guns, and were ordered to shoot
any and all dogs seen running loose. un-
muzzled, in the open streets or alleys. 1t
is hoped that the bitten lady may sustain
no fatal injury from her experience in the
case.
Crops look beautifully.
Harvesting just commencing.
Corn and gardens, although they look
well, need much rain"
Health tolerable.

Wheat will be a good average crop

From the Daily Commonwealth, June 19.
The Arkansas Valley Ahead.

The land department of the A. T. &
IS. F. railroad has forwarded to the
agricultural editor of the COMMON
WEALTH, CHATS us,) some samples of the
prolific productiveness of the Arkansas
river valley.
The first is sample of cotton, product
of 1874, raised in Sedgwick county, near
Sedgwick City, on the line of the A. T. &
S. F. Road. 1t is quite large pod and
very fine in quality. If any State can beat
Kansas in raising cotton, she will have to
get up awful early in the morning and 60
to work without any breakfast.
The second is sample of Egyptian
wheat, product of 1874, from Raymond,
Rice county, Kansas.
The next specimen of fall wheat, we'll
filled and ripened, also from Rice county
and the product of this season.
All these specimens give evidence of
the unsurpassed fertility of Kansas soil,
especially that portion of it "lying and
being situated" along the line of the above
road. Judging from the samples furnish.
ed us, it is no wonder that the tide of inn
migration is still settling strong to the
Arkansas valley. The A. T. & S. F.
trains each day are full of people looking
for homes, and nowhere in the boundless
west are greater inducements offered than
in Kansas. Every train which arrives
from the east pours out its load of settlers
tor our new State, and wagon after wagon
files through our streets throughout the
week, bound for the southwest, their
white capped schooners being highly
suggestive of "the milky way" These
railroad and wagon trains are filled with
men, women aud children of all countries
and all conditions in life. The pipe
smoking and sturdy German, the hardy
Mennonite, the energetic Dane, the busy
Scandinavian, the toiling Swede, the en-
thusiastic Englishman, the enterprising
American, and even the almon-eyed Chi
naman, all wend their way to this fertile
valley, and under their skillful hands
homes are built, lands improved, and the
State day by day increased in wealth and
numbers. 1t is hard to estimate the thou
sands that are pouring in upon US, but a
few years will tell the tale, and with the
same rate of immigration as now, Kansas
will then outnumber many of the older
States, and in wealth, production and i'm
portance will be second to none in the
union.

Cost OF Fencing I'm the United States.
Economy IN Nebraska.

The heaviest item of expense in farm
ing-the heaviest, considering the profit
accruing, is probably that of fencing. In
many cases fences cost more than the
lands. The fences of the country are val
ued at one thousand eight hundred mil
lions of dollars; and year by year, nearly
one hundred millions of dollars are ex-
pended to Keep the fencing efficient. In
Illinois not less than So, ,0O0, 900 have been
invested in fencing; and not less than
$175, 600 are annually expended to keep
these "metes and bounds" in repair. If
stringent fencing laws had been adopted
in the State of Nebraska, the settlement
of the country would have been much re-
tarded. But law adapted to the needs
of the country has been wisely adopted.
This law relieves the settler, at the time
when he needs all his money for other
improvements, from the necessity of in
vesting large sum in the construction
OF lumber fences. The law throws upon
every owner of live stock, the onus of
keeping his stock from straying on the
cultivated lands o: his neighbors. The
farmer need not build fences around his
cultivated fields, for horses, cattle and
sheep are fenced out" by the law. The,
stock when pastured have to be berded;
but the cost of herding is not a tithe of
what fencing would be- Fencing goes on,
of course, in Nebraska but it is live and
and not dead fences which are construct
ed. All through the settled portions Of
the State hedge rows are appearing, and
thriving. The hedge plants most used
are the honey locust. the Usage orange
and the white willow. In some places
long hedge-rows of peach trees, from
which, frequently, good crops are gather
ed. may be seen: and the peach seems to
make as good fence as the white will

SNOOZER AND HIS HOSE.

lFr0m the Cincinn1tl commercial
A man living on Main street, not over . thou
sand yards from the court house, whose name
our reporter, after dilgent search in the direc-
tory, had not found, but which Is supposed to
be Snoozer, went home last evening filed up 70
the collar with benzine. Feeling rather "varm
for the season." Mr.. Snoozer took of his coat
and boots, put on his slippers, and getting the
garden hose, went out TO sprinkle the street, 50
as to make things cool around there. Now, Is
takes quick, discerning, calculating eye and
steady hand to properly manipulate hose IN
the daytime. At night the difficulties are null
tiplied. But Mr.. Snoozer's mind was simply
on the subject of sprinkling. He gave the by
drant wrench several twists, and had on Q
full head. After q few crackles and spirits,
steady stream was let fly right on the boots
and white linen pants of q man with Q red rose
bud on the LEFT lapel of his coat, who was COM
ing up from a call on Fourth street. The man
stopped suddenly in surprise, and Snoozer, no.
ticing the mishap, the true spirit of thorough
bred gentleman, advanced TO render an apology,
when the nozzle was turned q quarter Of an
inch to the larboard, and poured in stream
right against the strangers immaculate bosom.
The latter might have got red-hot at this treat
ment, and shown hght, were It not impossible
70 DO so under the cooling influences brought
to bear, and to avoid further disaster, the rose
bud and linen pants popped around the corner
INTO An Alley, M. Sn0ozer was then proceed
Ing quietly to cool OF the bricks of the pave
ment, when gentleman with two ladies, two
shawls, and one sore boil on his arm, walked
up from Vine street beer garden. Toprevent
another catastrophe, the hoseman turned the
squirting apparatus toward the open street,
without the least intention Of pouring about
four gallons of Ohio river wafer down the
backs Of q lady and gentleman who were riding
by In . tilted-top buggy. The gentleman, IN
words usually expressed In print In dashes,
told Of his displeasure, and utterd threats
against Snoozer's life. Mr.. Snoozer said It was
purely accidental-that he was willing to take
1t all back-that there was no sense in crying
over spilled water. While thus engaged in an
explanation, he was perfectly obliyious of the
nozzle in his hand He was as innocent as an
unborn babe of knowing that q stream, running
at the rate of forty knots an hour, was sailing
through the open window Of second-story
bedroom in the adjoining house, where & man
and his wife were sleeping. He never dreamed
of such thing until female shrieks were heard
and man In white raiment sppeard at the
window and fired off seven shots from q reYol-
yer. Then Mr.. Snoozer thought he wonld
shut of steam. But he had mislaid the
wrench. He, however, kept ths gathering
mob at bay until his wife rushed out, hauled
him into the house, and prevented riot and
bloodshed. No arrests. PEI f.-
