MOBILES COUNTY STOCK.

NUABER OF cA1TLBLN THE COUNTY,
NAMES OF OWNERS AND NUMBER
OWNED-ARRANGED By TOWNSHIPS
- GOOD START T..
Below ne publish table showing the
number Of cattle owned in Mobiles
county, the first column showing the
whole number and the second the num-
Der Of cows. We have been several
months gathering this together, and
have all the organized townships re-
ported except Westside, which we have
been unable to obtain. We hope to
give this hereafter. This table is not
presented as absolutely correct. but it
is approximately accurate. Let any
one undertake to get up statement Of
the kind, gathered from the farmers
as they come to town, and he will re-
alize how difficult it is to see every far
mer, which would be necessary to a
statement without errors. The great
est inaccuracy is in the number of cows,
for in many cases we could not ascer-
tain this separate from the whole num-
her. The probability is that in the
Worthington and Seward lists, most of
the stock set down under the head Of
cattle are cows,
We present the list now because af-
ter months Of effort we realize that a
more perfect statement cannot proba-
bly, be obtained. Judging from these
figures, we should put the number of
cattle in the county at about 1900 and
the number of cows in the neighbor-
hood of 1,2oo to 1900. This shows a
good start at least. Next year we hope
to double this:

A curious instance of the utility of
the magnet is mentioned in the Ade-
laide Register of June ii. A young Ia
dy sat down on q settee on which a nee
die had been carelessly left. It pierced
her thigh and totally disappeared in the
flesh. Medical men said it could only be
reached by "A large incision, and conclu-
ded to leave it there in the hope that it
might work itself out. The pain howev-
er, became so severe that the young la
dy was confined to her bed. SO a mag.
net was suggested. and, powerful one
being secured and applied, in four hours
the needle reached the surface. raised
and protruded itself through the skin.
and was instantly EXTRACTED. It had
been in the flesh for three weeks.
