Baltimore expects to pack IL,
O0O,O caRs of peaches this sea-
son. There are between forty
and fifty houses engaged in the
business, and these employ be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 hands,
mainly women and girls. This is
an industry that ought to thrive
in the West. Canned fruits are
sold in this State by the hundred
thousand every year. We have
to pay the freight on them from
Baltimore, and the profits of seY.
eral dealers through whose hands
the goods pass. The fruit used
is much cheaper here than on the
Atlantic coast, and TIN cans can be
manufactured just as cheaply
here as there. Yet we go on sp
ending thousands Of dollars every
year for canned fruits. This re
gion will continue poor until Va
quit buying abroad that which w
can produce just as cheaply a
home.

Burning Of the aA0nssI Gity
Depot.

Wednesday, Sebtember 22d, the
well known old wooden structure
which served as the general depot
for the railroads which center at
Kansas City, was destroyed by
what was doubtless an incendiary
fire. a telegram says:
Kansas City, Sep. 22.-About
three o'clock this morning a fire
broke out in the Chicago house, a
wooden structure opposite the I'm
ION depot, and before the firemen
got \ stream to work the building
was entirely destroyed, and a
brick house, the New York house,
and the st. James restaurant were
in flames. From these the fire
lcaped across the street, setting
fire TO the depot, but was put out.
The fire department having to
use wat0r from pond were of lit
tie avail, as the hose became cho-
ked with mud, and the depot took
fire again and was totally destroy
ed, together with tickets represent
ting about 100000. This was
the largest ticket Office in the
country having five hundred diff
erent tickets for sale.
Three more buildings were de-
stroyed and two more injured by
fire and water before the flames
were arrested. A man named
George Findly, recently from Cal
ifornia, was stopping at the Chi
cago House and persisted, being
burned beyond recognition.
Seeing that nothing could be
done with the engines, the firemen
finally coupled their hose to fire
plugs, and three fine streams of
Kaw river water were thrown up
on the burning building, putting
out the fire in a short time.
The action of the city ofIiciVls
in refusing to accept the Water
Works, which are the best in the
West, is severely condemned by
every one, as the city is liable for
the payment of hydrant rent and
derives no benefit in case of fire.
Total loss about $4,000, insur-

Hest Breeds of Poultry.

1t is often asked which is the
best breed offOwls to keep. This
is like asking which is the best
horse. IT you want a horse to
run for the Derby, you would not
choose a cart-horse. and if you
wanted a dray horse, you would
not choose u iAe bred blood.
The same with fowls; if you want
egg. producers you want one kiAd,
and if you want flesh or good
hatchers you want another.
About common fowls, or mon
gTels, this is just the difference
between them and pure bred-the
one has no distinguishing proper
ties, while the other has. It is
impossible to combine the prolif-
icness of the egg-producers TO re-
tain it with the feeding and hatch
ing properties of the other. For
the food that is converted into
producing eggs will certainly not
produce fat and flesh; and CONVEX
sely. the elements of nutrition
which go to building up the body
cannot be converted into supply
ing eggs. The properties and qu-
alities of thoroughbred fowls have
been attained by the same atten-
ton to breeding that has brought
other stock to perfection-by OBJ
serving the qualities most devel-
oped in the animal.
In the egg-producing class the
Leghorns stand pre-eminently ab.
owe all others. This variety con-
sists of the white and brown.
The browns appear to be the fa-
vorites, being hardy,easily raised,
and maturing quickly-the pullets
often laying at tour months.
pullets of this breed frequently
lay as high as 26O eggs during
the year; their large bombs and
pendants require q warm house
during our rigorous winters.
The next in high favor is the
black Spanish; these, like the for
mer, are non-settlers and prolific,
but not so easily raised. They
do not, until nearly grown, get
their fnll feathers, being generally
half naked for q considerable
time after Matching. These like
the LeghOrns, require comfortable
winter quarters, owing to their
large comb and wattles.

ShOrt-EHOrn Cattle In IA 81
land.

A remarkable sale of short horn
cattle has just taken place in Scot
land, and the prices brought are
to make the fortunate
owners of s'Duchesses" feel good,
to whatever nation they belong
The cattle were the property of
Lord Dunmore, and the London
papers are congratulatIng hislord-
ship on the fact that the prices
brought at the sale far exceeded
anything ever known even in the
United States, where the short
horn mania RACES SO violently.
The number of cattle sold was
thirty-nin and the prices aggre-
gated $141,1l5 being an average
of $3,361 per head. The most ex
traordinary feature of the sale
was Lord Fitzhardinge's unparal-
leIed bid for the majestic "Duke
of Connaught," which is described
as a magnificent bull, of proud
gait and lofty carriage, with a
skin like velvet, q back like a
quarter deck, and length, quality,
and comeliness enough to com
mend him to every eye-in fact,
the finest Bates bull in the world.
At the first jump $4,000 was
bid for him, but not until $4,000
had been offered did the compe-
tition cease, and the auctioneer
announced that the NEST superb
bull in existence was destined not
to leave the land of his birth for
England. II was generally BELLE
we'd that the representative of the
American Short-horn society had
an eye upon the "Duke OF Con-
naught,' but he soon found that
the shot he carried were not heavy
enough to silence his British op-
ponents. Another bull brought
$4,000, being knocked down to
the agent of the viceroy OF Egypt,
and four more brought from S.,
900 to $4,000 each. The earl OF
Dunmore has not been in thG
short hoIn business for more
than seven years, but at the very
outset he is said to have betrayed
an adaptability to the calling, ant
a correctness of judgment in Sc
Letting and mating pedigree cattle
which were we'll calculated to bC
beneficial to the land of Cakes
He had the courage to send tc
Canada and to purchase two
calves which were still unborn
when the Canadian purchaser car
ried their mothers away from Eng
land. For these two calves Lore
Dunmore paid collectively $l2, OOG
and the son of one of tbem is thu
Duke of Connaught," who wa
purchased at the highest figure
ever given for q bull. Lord Dun
more has still remaining a herd o
about 40 heads, comprising SOM
of the most magnificent animals
in creation. Altogether it is saiC
that his lordship's herd represents
having iu view what it has alrea,
dy bald and what the remnant o
it is now worth, something Xix
100000.

the people of this city, and it is
hoped a substantial structure will
be erected in its place. The Gen.

We learn OF a few parties who
intend sowing rye on unbroken
sod this fall; and hope it may
prove a successful undertaking.
This kind OF farming has been
tried in different parts of the state (;
and it is said 70 have produced
fair crops,and as thoroughly rot
ted the sod as if it had been
plowed before sowing. We think
this sort of farming might do
where buffalo grass prevailed, and
might do on other sods if the
grass could first be burned of.

A LOST ARMY.
BY EDWARD II. nnAToN.

In the year Of grace 1865 an expe.
dition was ordered by the war depart.
ment into the region watcred by the
Yellowstone and its tributaries. The
plan Of the campaign and command Of
the troops were intrustcd TO Drigadicr
General P. Edward Connor, of Utah,
q general already famous in Indian
warfare, as having utterly overtl,rown
the Shoshones, in January, 1868, in a
hard fought battle on the banks Of
Bear river. An officer more compe.
tent could no: have been selected, and
with a large and choice body of cav
airy the success Of the expedition
seemed certain.
The plan Of the campaign was as.
follows: Two regiments OF Missouri
cavalry under Colonel Cole, were to
start from Columbus, at the foot Of
the Loup Fork Of the Platte, and as.
cending that stream cross over the
country by way OF Bear Buttcs, cross
Powder river some hundred miles
from the Yellowstone, aud form a
junction with General Connor on
Tongue river where it pierccs the
Panther mountains. They were to
punish aud destroy all hostile savagcs
on their route. Guides were fur
nisl,ed them at the Pawnee village.
The second column, consisting Of
the 10th Kansas cavalry. Lieutenaht
Colonel Walker, and q detachment Of
the 14th, comprising light battery,
were to leave Fort Laramie and,
striking the Black Hills pass slthrough
them and form q junction with Col
onel Cole somewhere beyond the head
waters Of the Cheyenne, and with him
reach the rendezvous They were to
punish the Sioux and Cheyennes, and
guides were provided them at Fort
Laramie.
| The third column, consisting Of Cali.
fornia, Ohio and Iowa cavalry, one
company Of Omaha and one of Paw.
nee Indians, were to follow the east.
ern flanks Of the Rocky mountains as
far as the head OF Tongue river; from
thence TO the rendezvous, There
were also some Michigan cavalry tc
be used iii garrison at fort to be
built at the crossing Of Powder river.
The fort was named by the war de-
lpartment in honor Of General Reno
one Of the fallen heroes Of the army q
the Potomac. This third column wa.
under the, immediate command oi
General Connor, and consisted ot
about 500 men. A drove of cattle
and upwards of 100 wagons accom-
panied them, carrying supplies for al
the rendezvous. The guides with the
General were the famous James
Bridger, Rouleou and Janissc, two
French Canadians, and young
mountaineer by the name Of Brannan
n~was con6dentially expected tina
this arrangement would pen the say
ages and pat an end to the Indian wa
with all its horrible atrocities.
! The troops were in motion in the
Halter part Of July, and the first day
of August found General Connor Q,
Powder river. The writer of thi
was attached to his headquarters. o.

for this special purpose and properly
secured, in which the maker agrees to
pay such amount MS he may draw

in April last the company was not in
condition to meet it, and al, arrange.
mcnt was made by which the bonds
were taken up by Duncan, Sherman
4 Co, but he did not think the money
was advanced by this firm, but from
Alex. Duncan, who was in Scotland.
About this time Mr.. Duncan was ap-
pointed receiver of the road. The
whole bonded debt of the road
amounts to a little over twelve mil
lions, and he thought MIR. Duncan
holds large. amount Of these bonds,
which he originally took as security.
This alone, however, could not be the
cause Of failure, as the bonds could
not have cost Oh an average over
twenty per cent. of their face value.
In his opinion a very large amount
was sunk III the New York and Mon
trcal railroad scheme. 1t is asserted
that Theodore Moss had sixty thous-
aud with the firm; Henderson 4 Co.
hadthirty thousand, and Wm. Wheat
