we find our travelling expenses are so great
that We are OF the opinion Ii Is better tu gre
prices, and dcl.rer stoc!- at the most conven-
lent points for Us from San Francisco, thereby
being the better enabled to give lower prices
and attend to home breeding. 1t is not every
Webster that is Daniel Webster, and it Is
not every thoroug Inbred that Is a high priced
animal With the general improvement that
has followed from the old fashioned sickle to
the moeiag machine, or from the stage coach
to the locomotive, or from the old Mexican
sheep tnat sheared 2peands of wool, to the I'M
proved sheep that shear from 10 to 20 pounds.
1t stands to reason that the best is the cheap
est. Ii 100 sheep can be improved so as to
produce as much wool as 800, as they now are,
why not purchase males that are thorough
bred, make your crosses and save four -fifths
the feed, labor and expense. Then there Is
plenty of feed. If you can let $40 at 10 per
cent. it is better than SlOO at per cent,
and so with improvement of live stock. The
fine grade Durham, with loin that will hold
a wash tub, costs no more to raise than .
razor back. A fine Berkshire pig at months,
will weigh more than = amly' at anysage.
Common sheep are poor mutton and wool Is

IT is well to know that carbolic acid,

Several deaths have occurred in England

A VERY important work is to let of
any water that accumulates upon the

Whether there is a crop in the ground or
not, it is equally necessary to do this
thoroughly, else the soil is soaked and
dries very slowly. The amount lost
through water remaining upon fields
would each year buy for every farmer

Strange disappearances are by no
means uncommon in these days; but one
of these mysteries which, according to a
correspondent of one of the German pa
pers, has lately occurred in Russia, is
only startling. An express train in that
country, carrying six million of rubles,
not only failed the other day to reach its
destination, but has altogether disap-
peared, without leaving the slightest
traces afording clue as to what has be-
come of it. That the train should be
stopped and the money taken is con-
ceivable; but that the thieves should
actually carry off not only rubles, but
engine, tender, vans, carriages, and ALL
is so uncanny" an incident as to raise
ground for suspicion that the powers of
darkness have been at work. At any
rate, the story is a most uncomfortable
one, and it is to be hoped new horror
is not about to be added to railway trav-
cling by the total disappearance of trains.
1t may be imagined how painful a SEN
sation would be created if the Flying
Dutchman or some other fast and
famous train was never seen or heard Of
again after leaving London. Such ca
tastrophe would be if possible, even
worse than a collision.

Details Of the fighting on the 4th inst,
near Kristock and Piva, are at hand. Both
sides fought with great bravery the whole
day. The Turks, notwithstanding strenuous
efforts, in which they lost three thousand

Montenegrins have again intrenched them
selves along the pass between Kristock and
Presjeka.
General Grant was obliged, owing to a
press of engagements, to decline Beacons-
fields invitation to dinner. Wales, how.

A Young GirPs Supernatural and
EfHSiCe BedfetIOtO.

a 1Ou1tg OtFfS supernatural and
EfecsICe BedfetIotC.
The good people among the hills of
Morris County, N. j., have found excite
ment in the case of a young girl said to
be grievously vexed by the devil" and
whose condition is as unaccountable as it
is deplorable. The girl, according to the
Worlds informant, is the daughter of
Elijah Nichols, blacksmith of the Glen
don Iron Company at Hurdtown. She
predicted evil against her fifteenth birth
day, which fell on the 18th of October
last, and since that date she has been
bed-ridden and paralyzed. At times
there appears under the counterpane of
her beG presence as of rat, a rabbit,
or a cat swiftly moving from place to
place, and eluding detection. In vain
is the bed stripped, or the patient re-
moved to another place; the "presence
is only powerless to act when the mother
sleeps with the child. The physicians,
no less than the clergy, and the common
folks of all the countryside are bafied.
Crowds come daily to see the mystery.
On one recent occasion, Mr.. Richards,
the Mayor of Dover, held his stiff hat
above the "pressnce and the hat re-
ceived blow that crushed it. Violent
blows have been given to the hand, to a
cane, and to other objects held out over
the place where the presence" was,
and, needless to say, attempts to grab
the "presence" has failed. All the while
the girl lies moaning as if in terror or
pain, and her position in the bed would
be plainly such as to show that the
mysterious movements were not caused
by her. The girl has been known to
abstain from all food for the space of IF
teen days, and for some weeks past she
has only received little milk daily, yet
her face is fair, and, when visitation is
not nigh, her sleep is apparently health
full. Her parents are plain and honest
people, who view this as an afiiiction,
not to be turned to account for notoriety
or money. The neighbors, unable to
account for it in any other way, have
solemniy decreed witchcraft against an
old woman living among them, and
charms are in active demand.
