THE explorations of Prof. Hayden's
surveying party in the far west, as de-
tailed in his report to the interior de-
partment, show how little even our best
geographers know of the prominent
features of the great territory lying near
ly due westward of Chicago. A canon
some three thousand feet deep, through
which a mighty river flowed, was dis
covered, and the remains of an ancient
civilization that were found are said to
be truly remarkable. The records of
these surveys will no doubt prove highly
interesting, not only to scientists, but to
people ut large.

LET'S SEE wasn't it the kewaunee
Enterprise that said wheat brought a
higher price in that village than it did
here? Tt must have been mistake,
for last week spring wheat was quoted
at 5 cents a bushel more, and winter
wheat Is cents bushel more in this
this city than at Kewaunee. It may be
that our farmers will cart their wheat to
Kewaunee and receive Is cents per bush
ell less for it, but we doubt it. Can you
see through it, John?

THE County Fair promises to be q
huge success this year if only the wealth

been fixed up in first-rate style, and
exhibitors and others will find all the

PIC-NIC.-We understand the citizens
of Maple Grove are to be treated to a
rich entertainment about the 14th inst.
The ladies of st. Patrick's Church will
have charge of the affair and are making
extensive preparations to render it a
brilliant success. The location chosen
for the occasion is known as the Groves
of Barney, close 20 the parish school
house. The spot is said to be worthy
OF the famous title, being shady and de-
lightfnl. The proceeds are to be ap-
piled to the parish school. The congre-
CATION of st. Patrick are ever liberal to
all neighboring calls and anticipate in
return a large attendance from adj
joining districts at their picnic. Fur

are provided; the tails are tied togeth

round and reverse the yoke. A rope is
tied to the near horn of each steer,
these ropes unite short distance from

in the yoke often when not in exercise,
and are exercised daily until they are
familiar with the different motions. and
words and signs used to control them.
They are then yoked to pair of wheels

THE EPIZOOTIC.

An eminent veterinary surgeon, who
has had much practice with the prevail

his mode of treating the disease:
ait begins as the perceptible indi-
cations at present develop, with premon-
tory appearances of severe cold, and
in some cases accompanied by starting
coat, and in others an entire loss of APP
petite. This disease is produced by the
sudden climatic disturbances of the at
mosphere, which of late has been re-
markable, and the animals exposure to
them, and the sudden transitions from
one degree to that Of the other cousti-
tutes the cause of this diseased action
in our animals. The treatment adapted
to this attack is simple, and the follow.

THE THRESHER SHARK.

The thresher shark or fox shark, SAYS
the Portland Transcript, is often found
in our bay, and we have heard fisher
men describe its manner of attacking
the whale; fastening itself upon its
back. with its teeth, and then thresh-
ing its helpless victim with its whip-like
tail. In the Bay of Fundy it has been
known to attack fishing boats. There
is now on exhibition at the Manchester
(England) Aquarium living specimen
of this shark, giving landsmen a rare
opportunity of making its acquaintance.
We find it thus described in a foreign
journal
This is an example of tine thresher,
or fox shark, one of the largest tyrants
of the ocean, before whom the mighty
leviathan himself quails and seeks in

rible weapon of offence with which this
fish is enabled to hold so high position
among other inhabitants of the mighty
deep so vastly superior to him in size,
consists, not in the armature of the
mouth, but in the extraordinary length
and remarkable formation of its tail
