Grow Shooting in Delaware.

A novel amusement, which is at pres
ent INDUCED in to great extent in the
upper part of Delaware, is crow-shoot-
ing as substitute for pigeon matches.
The rules and customs are the same in
either case. The substitute was made,
out of sort of humanitarian notion
among the people, as well as to benefit
pecuniarily residents about 'Reedy
Island in the Delaware, from whence
crows are taken. This spot is the favor
tie roosting ground of these birds, and
towards nightfall they congregate there
by thousands. When darkness over
spreads the island, the catchers enter
among the low trees with bags, and
capture any desired number, simply
plucking them from the limbs like so
much fruit. The birds cannot fly in the
darkness, and even if shaken from their
roosts, they cling to the first object that
comes within reach. It is said that a
man standing beneath the tree from
which the birds are shaken, with out
stretched arms, will soon be covered
with them.

The Way to Blanket Horses.

Du: few people, comparatively, un.
derstand how to blanket horse to pro.
tect him from contracting a cold. We
frequently see the blanket folded doub.
le, and laid across the rump and a part
Of the animals back, leaving those
parts of the body that need protection
entirely exposed to cold storms and
chilling winds.
Those parts Of the body ofa horse
which surround the lungs require the
benefit Of a blanket in preference to
his flanks aad rump. When We are
exposed to a current Of cold air. to
guard against any injury from contract
lug cold, We shield our shoulders, neck
chest aud back, If these parts be kept
protected, the lower part Of the body
will endure degree Of cold far more
intense; without any injury to the body
than if the lungs were not kept warm
with suitable covering. Tho same
thing holds in the protection of horses
The blanket should cover the neck,
withers aud shoulders, and be brought
around the breast and buttoned OF
buckled together as closely as a man
buttons bis oyercoat, when barring bis
bosom. Let the lungs ofa horse be
protected With a heavy blanket. and he
will seldom contract cold. even It the
hindmoet parts ofhis body are not GOV.
cred.
Most horses will contract a violent
cold almost as soon as a man. if no,
blanketed while they stand still, after
having been exercised so violently as
to produce profase perspiration. s.
long as a horse kept in motion there i
little danger Of his suffering any incon.
venlencc from cold Winds. But allow
him to stand still for few minute.
while loading and Unloading. without
. heasS blanket t. protect his shoul.
dess and lungs, and he will take cold
sooner than some men.-'Exchanse.'

4 short time ago the St. Paul 4
Sioux City R. Il. Company announced
lis determination to withdraw the ac-
commodat ION train between st. Paul 4
Mankato. The people along the line
retitioned for its retention and the Su.
periutendent replied. showing that un.
der the reduced rates, established by
the Commissioners, the Company could
not siford to run the train. The peo-
pie then petitioned the Com missioners
to restore the old rate of five cents per
mile, and they did so, and the accom-
mediation train will not be taken of.
Thus the people are the first to set
aside the law regulating railroads.
