PANAMA, January 22.-The city of
Panama and the Isthmus in general, con-
tinue in state of tranquility. The United
States steamer Wyoming left Aspinwall
on the 18th instant, taking with her the
fillibustering steamer General Sherman for
trial in the United States courts. The
Columbian authorities did not want to let
her 60 out of their waters, and think she
ought to have been tried in the Columbian
court, and still hold possession of the
ships papers found on board when she
arrived here. Captain Gushing has been
thanked by the government of Guatemala
for thus Kidding Central America of
standing menace to the country.

BEAUTIFUL CHROMOS.-Pluck No. /
and Pluck No. 2, are names bestowed on
two beautiful and most suggestive chromos,
whose publishers agent in this city is Mr..
Frank j. Arnold, of the Custom-house.
Specimens of these fine, nay, really admi-
rable productions adorn the walls of our
office, where they can be inspected. Only
glance is needed to detect the merits of
which they are chock full. The first of
these charming pictures represents boy
and girl in child's wagon. The boy is
the older and the driver. The relns are
tightly compressed, and his eyes flash fire.
The other child is the picture of fright and
hopeless misery. The cause of this disturb
bance is the velocity at which the dog is
going. He has sighted hare and is in full
pursuit, unmindlul of the wagon and its
precious freight. At the moment the
artists makes us acquainted with the
group the wagon is clearing pile of stone,
the hind end standing almost straight in the
air, and back of it is third child, a
chubby boy in night-gown, who having
been engaged IN the laborious duty of foot
man, and discharged by the shock at the
stone pile, is now turning revolution in
the air and preparing to descend on the
back of his head. Pluck No. represents
the hare in the painting and steaming jaws
of the dog. He has just cleared an inn
mense log, and hugging this log with all
the eloquence of his stomach is the brave
driver with tight hold of the rens. The
wrecked box of the wagon, with the pas
senger fiat on her back, and astonished
beyond measure at the result, lays partly
on the log; the hind wheels are dismantled
in the rear, and the forward wheels lifted
by the thills are poised above the dogs
back. In the distance is the footman

From the st. Joe Herald

II rom The 81. Joe Herald.I
The Importance of q railroad line
leading up through the rich Grand River
country, has for years been apparent to
the citizens of St. Joseph, and several
efforts have been made to inaugurate
the enterprise. Over three years ago
the charter of the St. Joseph & Iowa
Railroad Company-one of the most
valuable in the State-was transferred
to the Burlington & Southwestern Rail-
road Company, Oh condition that a GER
tain mount of work should be done on
the road leading to St. Joseph within a
limited period. This contract was not
complied with, and the franchise has
reverted to the original owners.
In the past few days prominent gen.
tlemen from Mercer and Harrison coun-
ties have been in the city, with a view
of reviving the project of deep interest
to the people of St. Joseph. While
here they consulted freely with the
business men of the city, receiving the
most liberal encouragement. A day or
so ago they left with the intention of
visiting Gentry, Harrison and Mercer

THE OUR

That the fire of patriotism has
not died out of the American bosom
was abundantly evinced on Saturday
last by the general, harmonious and en-
thusiastic observance of the Natal day Of
the Republic by the people of Andrew
county. Although the weather was
sweltering hot, with scarcely an appre-
ciable breeze to mollify perspiring hui
mainly, the numerous groves through
out the county selected as the place of
rendezvous for those who revere the
patriots of &c, were well filled by an
intelligent, ~peaceable and sociable peo-
pie. Those individuals whose bile
troubles them, and who al see nothing
but ruin in this fair country, must have
remained hidden-and very properly,
100 Who can prophesy evil to the
nation whose foundation is universal
liberty, and whose people, as each cy-
cling anniversary of the period when
that universal liberty was achieved
comes round, never fail to give it that
attention and regard which its great i'm
portance merits. A nation based upon
freedom and education for all, whose
masses are ever watchful that those Vi
tai principles are maintained, is founded
upon a rock so solid rs II resist the eff
forts OF the combined potentatcs of the
world to crush it, or the ambitious
schemes of its baser politicians to dis
member it. Then let the eagle scream

Much gas is being wasted over the
idea that President Grant wishes to be
a candidate for the election to the Pres
ideacy in 1876. While the c%onsidera-
ton of the proposition is premature
now, we think President Grant will not
be the candidate ofthe Republican party,
and if he is candidate of any other
party, his chances for ''holding the
reins of the Government" for another
term will be exceedingly small.

1t is very desirable that more of our

few colonies at first are advisable. Their
busy hum and uutlring industry cannot fail
to enlist every lover Of nature IN their be-

that interest. Bees not only lend a charm to

furnish us a delicate luxury, snd, it we
choose, very wholesome and palatable ar

For the VERMONT FARMER.
"a LITTLE FARM WELL TITLED. "

Mr.. A. A. Kneeand, of Waits6ed, has
made the present season from six cows fifteen
hundred pounds of butter, and is at it yet.
Mr.. Kueeland is wide.awakc, progress
i've farmer, whom others find it hard to beat
in whatever branch of farming he under.
takes.
During the few years that he has owned
his present farm he has, | should judge,
doubled its production.
His house and barns he has entirely re-
modelled, building additions where needed
aud greatly increasing their convenience.
His barn now has good cellar for ma
nure, and also one for roots, of which he rais-
es good supply so that usually his cattle
get good mess every day through the win
ter.
1t you will look into his stable almost any
day during the winter you may see his cows
sleek and fat, in clear, wel-littered stalls,
not particle Of manure on their aanks, and
their hair Swing evidence Of the daily use OF
card. Such cows ought to give some re-
turn I or their care.
Mr.. Kueeland is, however, no gentleman
farmer with more money than he knows
what to do with, but one who began life
with only his two hands for capital, and all
that he has is the fruit Of his industry.

papers and endeavors to follow the best

MR.. HANsoN,s TROUT.


G. G. Hanson, Esq, of Barnstop, p O.,
in answer to inquiries. writes as follows
about his venture in trout culture:
l made my dam by hauling stones from
the fields and covering with earth, which
made good road for hauling over from the
field beyond as well as most substantial
dam flowing about four acres, and when |
need more room it can be raised quite as
easily and cheaply: place q screen in the
dam and above the dam to allow none to es.
cape. l put in gravel for spawning beds.
l have caught many trout with a net off
the spawning beds, which l think is better
than hooking them, as many are much in-
jured in being caught in that way. am
feeding through the ice with chopped liver
and curd made of thick milk by simply
heating it and drawing off the whey.
In the summer a rack is made Of beveled
stats and suspended over the water on which
all kinds Of refuse matter are placed, ai-
fording any amount OF feed for the fish in
the way Of maggots which can be let down
into the water occasionally to allow the
trout to "go for" them.
The cost of building the dam is but few
dollars the hauling of the stones could not
be charged to the cost of the dam, as | was
glad to have 81 good chance to get rid of
them The cost Of stocking was but triao
more. l should say that forty dollars would
cover the cost so far. The pond is fed by a
large spring, and not subject to overflow as
a large stream would be. G. G.. HANSON.
