The valuable collection of the remains
of extinct animals belonging to Prof.
Henry A. Ward, of Rochester, is said to
be injured through the curiosity of some
foolish persons who, to satisfy themselves,
cut the tusks of the elephants and the legs
of the megatherium.
The display of the fishes of North
America, made by the Fish Commission,
in conjunction with the Smithsonian In
stitution, affords an excellent opportunity
to study the interesting subject. It en-
braces photographs and plaster casts of
nearly all the fishes of North America.
The following is a verbatim copy of
an expressive letter young lady at the
Centennial wrote to her mother in this
city:
PHILADELPHIA, June, 1876.
DEAR MOTHER: Oh! Obi! Oh!!! Oh!!!!

Your afectiOnate daughter, MARY.
-Prvvidence (R. ~ Journal.
An interesting paper on the design
and the erection of the Centennial Expo
sitiOn buildings was read few days ago
before the Society of American Civil En-
gineers, in session in Philadelphia. Among
other interesting data mentioned was that
the mass of iron in the buildings amounts
to 3,348 900 pounds, and that the various
kinds of straight and T iron, etc., would
reach distance of al miles, while if
all the iron were made into a solid cube
it would measure Is feet W inches per
side.
The colossal statue of Washington,
which will soon arrive at Philadelphia by
the United States ship Supply, is to be
placed in front of the Judges Pavilion at
the Centennial. The pedestal has been
completed, but will not be placed in posi-
ton until after the arrival of the statue.
The figure is twelve feet high, modelled
from Leutz's picture of Washington
Crossing the Delaware" 1t is the per-
sonal contribution of Mr.. Eyre, a former
Philadelphia, now resident of Florence,
Italy.
Among the displays made in the Ag-
ricultural department by foreign Nations
there are many which would bear a
lengthy description, but for the present l
must pass them over with brief mention.
The finest of these exhibits, as they ap-
pear to me, is the one made by Brazil, the
country over which Dom Pedro has ruled
for nearly half century, and whose En-
peror he may be, let us hope, for many
years to come. The space occupied by this
exhibit is we'll filled with Brazilian produc-
tions, comprising extensive varieties of
woods, minerals, skins, leather, rubber in
its crude state, seeds, grains, soils, spices,
cloths, fruits and other articles which
need not here be enumerated. The dis
play is under the charge of seven Com
missioners, who freely distribute circulars
and pamphlets giving full descriptions of
their country, its productions, its great
natural advantages, and its inexhaustible
resources.-Cor. Chicago Journal.

Ignorance In Farming.

One of the greatest drawbacks to sue
cessful farming is the presence of the un-
known quantity-ignOrance of the exact
condition of things, in value, weight and
measure, concerning our products. We
often produce at loss. An account with
each crop would decide the matter. If,
after few trials, it costs more to produce
than a crop will sell for, its cultivation
should be abandoned. Many continue to
produce from year to year at loss, sim
ply from the want of a little calculation.
The unknown quantity in weight and
measure subjects us to great loss in buy
ing and selling. A stack of hay came to
my notice recently. The seller estimated
that it would weigh a ton and half. The
buyer preferred to buy by weight. 1t
weighed $50 pounds-quite a difference
in favor of the buyer. There is no doubt
that a great deal of hay changes hands
every year on basis no nearer the truth
than this. Loss enough is soon made in
this way to put in and maintain a hay
scale, even in small neighborhood. The
same thing is true in regard to live stock.
Dealers can judge much more accurately
than farmers, and are much less liable to
be cheated. Farmers are much more liza
BILE to fail in buying than in selling. If
we pay too much in buying, it makes an
uphill business all the way through.
This is one great cause why many fail to
make anything in feeding and handling
stock. From considerable experience in
weighing stock for others, I have found
that the greater part fall short in weight
from the estimate of the owners; some
come very far short. Not more than five
per cent. exceeds the estimates. Horses
estimated at /, 100 pounds generally weigh
about 1000. Loads of hay called a ton
quite often weigh only 1900 or 1900
pounds. Those who estimate the number
Of tons by the number of loads are often
very much deceived, and in selling think
they have been cheated, because the scales
failed to show as much as they expected
Weighing will remedy this. The pound
avoirdupois is q known quantity; after as.
certaining the exact number, we are in q
condition to 60 forward without making
mistakes in our calculations.
Another unknown quantity is in failure
to know the number Of acres under cult
walton. A, farm which had been taken uI
when the country was new, and occupied
by five successive generations of the same
family, had twenty acre lot. On the
death of the first member of the family
the farm was sold. The twenty-acre lO
contained but fourteen acres by actual
measurement. Here were five generations
Of heroic workers deceived in the amount

f Up, up it went. How anxiously she
watched the ascent. It was lowered again
empty. She gave sigh of relief, and
hastily binding herself to the car, was
soon hoisted into mid-air, and loud and
prolonged shout of joy burst from every
lip as she safely reached the top of the
precipice.
"Saved-savedv she cried, rushing in
to her fathers outstretched arms, and
weeping glad tears of Joy and thankful
ness upon his breast.
She then quickly told him all that had
occurred, for it was necessary that the
wounded man should be got away as soon
as possible. Indeed, this was difficult
task, for he was too weak to walk; but the
rescuers were brave and resOlute, and con-
yerting the car into species OF stretcher,
they carried him as carefully as possible
down the steep and rugged descent.

said Gerald to his sister, as they descended;
almost as bad as yours. Yesterday,
after leaving you, Miss Lewis and made
our way steadily to the summit, and
reached it early in the afternoon. We
must have waited there two or three
hours, but you never came and at last we
concluded you had tired yourselves, and
had gone back to the inn. We went
down again by the way we had come, only
to find on reaching Wythburn that you
had not been seen or heard of. 1t was
then nearly dusk, and when it became
quite dark we were obliged to return
alone, for it was impossible at that time
to seek you in the mountain. This morn
ing my father and l started with gang
of helpers before daybreak, and COM
menced our search in the early dawn"
Gerald having then to 60 forward to
help the men with the stretcher, Dora was
alone with her father, and in few short
minutes had told him all that had passed
on the little terrace before the accident
of the young mans true and sincere affec-
ton, and of her own newborn love.
Weeks afterward, young man, with
his arm in sling, was lying on sofa
that had been brought out for him into a
warm sunlit garden, filled with the per-
fume of sweet-smelling flowers and the
gentle air that came up from the lake be-
low. A fair haired girl was seated near
him, holding in hers his Outstretched
hand.

looked up into her sweet, young face; 81

The meeting in Peter Dwyer's new tab
ernacle at Third street and South Fifth avenue
last evening was led by a boy Of sixteen. II yas
largely attended. both rooms being well allied.
Many Of Brother DIVERS converts eltner offered
PRAYER or delivered short addresses mod wing
their exneriences and containing urgent appeals
to the unoop verted. Several rowdies occupied the
back seats In the front room, and although they
did not actually Interrupt the services. they be-
haved In an Indecent manner. One ofncer was
on duty. but he made no effort to preserve order,
except when called upon by the leaders Of the
meeting to do 40.
A gentlemen OF ATTY or more told his hearers
that he had been Christian only fve months,
ana that siDre his conversion he been hap
pier than ever before. He had been a scofYer
and like some younger men within sound OF his
voice, had nisbehayed bimselfin religious meet

disgrace. He had seen the follv the mean esr
the wckedness Of his course. and now called
upon those who were making sport OF the work

words did not meet with their approoa ion.
An elderly German from BROOKLYN delivered n
stirring address in which he told how he rad
been brought to knowledge OF Christ. He
ursed his hearers to leave their hearts open to
the Saviour that he might enter In and GIVE
them peace. while he was talking. The rowdies
