The Gallant Clusters.
wv York Herald ]

New lOIh ntIdius
There is a terrible pithiness in
the curt dispatch, "The whole
Custer family died at the head of
their column;" and again, General
Custer, his two brothers, his nephew
and brother-in-law were killed.
Never, perhaps, in American his
tory, did a family ever offer up so
many lives for the flag in a single
engagement. We recall the Curiatii
from Roman history and the Mac
cabees from the Hebrew. Beside
them in heroic remembrance must
stand the name of Custer. In that
mad charge up'the narrow ravine,
with the rocks above raining down
lead upon the fatal three hundred,
with fire spouting from every bush
ahead, with the wild, swarming
horsemen circling along the heights
like shrieking vultures waiting for
the moment TO sWoop down and
finish the bloody tale, every form,
from private up to general, rises to
heroic size, and the scene fixes itself
indelibly upon the mind. "The
Seventh fought like tigers" says
the dispatch; yea, they died as
grandly as Homer's demigods. In
the supreme moment of carnage, as
deaths relentless sweep gathered in
the entire command, all distinctions
of name and rank were blended,
but the family that "died at the
head of their column" will lead the
throng when history recalls their
deed. 1t was mad, it was rash, but,
though "some one had blundered," I"
it was
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do or die.
Success was beyond their grasp,

After the departure the billet douN were
received and sent IN rapid succession
This state of affairs went on fof some
thing like year, when alas il came IN
sudden termination. One day tba
young lady received very cool letter
from her lover, so much unlike all ON.
er letters she had received that She M
once wrote TO him, saying she wished
10 be released from her engagement
but giving no reason for the change I'm
her affections. When the letter was
received by the soldier in camp he was
utterly COMPOUNDED. He had never
written any but words of kindnes, and
affection 10 her, and why she should
treat him so cruelty was more than he
could tell. He grieved for some months
over his disappointment and AT last left

made haste TO call upon her, and 10 his

Nevada Tin.

We have before US a specimen of tin
ore taken from the |. y. J.. mine, on
the Honey Lake Road, -ome twelve
miles from town. The specimen con-
tains some very fine ore indeed, the TN
being of that rich brown color which
indicates purity and value. A peculiar
ity OF this ledge is that it is incased IN
both hanging and foot wall hy silver
ore, so that the company, in order To
work their lodges, will require two
kinds of processes-One for gold and
silver, and another for tin. A. IS the
case with most prospectors, however,
they are poor and can not develop the
mines. The many different discoveries
recently made in this county now make
il rather difficult % name a metal that
can not be found in paying quantities
here. I'm Peavine Mountain alone are
found nearly all of the useful metals -

Ear Marks Of Butter Cows.


John Shallnck, noted butter dairyman
Of Chonango county, N, ", said at che
late convention Of tho New York State
DaiiSman's Association, that he had found
the color on the inside the cir to be an
iniAlIible guide IN the selection Of a good
butter COW. If the skin on the inside the
ear is Of rich yellow color, the con was
sure to give a good quality Of milk; that
