held on the front piazza of the premises
on the morning of May /, the United
States Hotel at Saratoga was bid off by
James M. Marvin for $3.50, ,000 subject
to chattel mortgage which brings the
price up to $500, 600. MIR. Marvin for
$3.50 900, subject to chsttel mortgage
which brings the price up to $500, 100.
Mr.. Marvin has been identified with the

and start afresh. In capacity the Uni.
ted States Hotel equals small town.

nird's Nest in Head Of cabbage.

Rird's Nest i'm u Head OF Cabbage.
Shouldn't you consider cabbage-head
rather a queer place for birds nestP
| thought SO when bird-friend Of mine
who has travelled a good deal told me Of
it. There is an island named Jersey.
that belongs to England, but lies nearer
to the French coast. (Our State Of New
Jersey was named after it, On this is
land a cabbage stalk had grown up to a
height of sixteen feet, and in its top was
a magpie's nest. A magpie is not a very
tiny bird, you must understand. he is
almost, il not quite as big as a crow.
This cabbage was rather tall OF its kind,
but the stalks very frequently grow to
height of from ten to twelve feet. Walk.
ing-sticks are very commonly made OF
them. The bird didn't say whether or
not these cabbages we're good for any
thing besides walking-sticks and places
for birds nests, but suppose they
must be good to eat, or people would not
cultivate them.
Do you know anything about this kind
of cabbage Prom "Jack .in- the Pulpit"

joker named Edward Cole, near Penn Yam,

off his boots he climbed upon the she'd, and
effected his entrance through window. Mr..
Pierce, who sleeps down stairs, hearing him,
cried out, " Don't come into this house or /
will kill YOU" Selling butcher knife, he
started up stairs. Mr.. Cole all the time keep
ing silent, stood at the head of :the stairs in
the dark to receive him. Mr.. Pierce i'm
mediately grappled with the supposed assas-
sin and during the encounter cut his throat
with the butcher knife, severing the jugular
vein. The young man exclaimed, g You
have killed Edward Cole My poor wife and
childrenl" and died. Mr., Pierce is about
thirty-eight years of age, and one of the best
citizens of Yates county. Mr.. Cole, his
brother-in-law, was younger, also from an
excellent family, and of the highest integrity.
He and his brother III law have always been
warm intimate friends, and their families
greatly attached to each other.

AS an illustration Of the rapid advance
which has taken place in the value of horses
in England during the, last quarter Of a cen
curry, we may mention that up to the year
1850 the British Governments paid al, average
of $3.50 for the cavalry. In 1874 the price
was 1925, and horses fit for artillery purposes
could not be had for less than $3.50. The fig
ures are still rising, aud, so far as can be seen
now, they are likely to RISE SO that even for
the supply of the Government there is suffici-
ent room for good profit on two or even three
year old horses. These, however, may be re-.
gafded as the lowest rates that are to be ex-
pected. They are contract rates, but for pri-
waite purposes breeders may fairly expect to
realize on an average far higher prices, rang
ing probably from 5000 to $4,000, if they en-
tered upon the work in the right spirit. The.
subject, however, is one that well deserves the
attention Of farmers, involving as 1t does an
occasion for very largely increasing the wealth
and resources Of the PASTORAL regions Of
America 9s &iasi1 sss .z7tsssa
