A BILL is pending in the Legislature
and will doubtless become law, au'
thorizing the Sturgeon Bay Canal Conn
pany to appropriate to its use, in build
ing the canal, a strip of 800 feet OF land
along the line thereof. and beyond its
termini. The bill provides for the APP
pointment of commissioner to appraise
the value of the land in case the owners
and the company cannot agree upon
price. Every indication points to o
speedy resumption of work on that inn
pcrtant project. and it is probable that
it will be pushed to completion if the
land sales which begin on the 10Th OF
April prox. shall prove successful.
WEDNESDAY morning, as John Foley,

his coat caught ia knuckle in the

was whirled around with it, his feet
striking the floor above or the purifier
below at every revolution, until the

In paper lately prepared by DIR. J.
D. Wyatt, of Stevens Point, and read
before the Good Templars Lodge, he
makes the following statistical report OF
the receipts from the sale of liquors in
that city: "Cash paid for liquors dur

states, allowing that our city contains
1000 families, the money thus expend-
ed would give to each family / cow, b

the blowers were discharged fer some
alleged irregular conduct, whereupon
the remainder of the blowers waited
until "smelt was already to blow,
when they all struck, and furthermore
demanded the reinstatement of the dis
charged men in their former places.
Mr.. Raybold, however, was not to be
driven, and although he had valuable
" melt on his hands, he told the boys
that unless they commenced work in
twenty minutes the melt would be
dipped out and they could leave. 1t Is
needless to add that the boys blowed.

A Curious Memento of the War.
From the Petersburgh Index.

A gentleman of this city, a day or
two ago, while walking over the battle
ground of the Crater, picked up curl
Gus and interesting relic of that famous
and hotly contested field. 1t was two
minnie balls hattened and imbedded IN
each other. One OF them was a Fed
eral and the other Confederate ball,
and on being fired from opposite dpeo-
tions they had struck squarely against
each other, and became lmbedded one
in the other, forming, as It were, a ring
of lead, with the balls projecting on
either side, and retaining sufficient
traces to distinguish the side to which
they belonged.

LIV { STOCK.
WATERING STOCK.


Enron 1 noticed some
time since an article in the Mossout1an, f1dl-
culinc the idea of wintering stock ia the hills
without water, as suggested by the HUs-,
I was too busy at the time to
reply. 1 think the editor OF the M1sso@lea'a'
is a first-class manager OF a newspaper, ana
no doubt could manage a herd of cattle in
Southern California or some other hot coun-
try: but I think he knows more about the
g stick and rule" han he does about stedr-
ing powder horns through an Arctic eXpe-
dition. The Missouttaas might as well say
that man can not live without bread, be-
cause It constitutes the $! staff ~oflife." But we
all know that thousands of human beings
live without eating bread, and thousands
live without water, only as procured by
melting snow and ice; and as drink implies
only LIQUID moisture Tor the digestive or
gans to assist in digesting and approprlat-
ing food, why. may it not be snow, which
is %nothing.less than water concealed, as well
as water from wells and streams?
My experience agrees with thai offother
stock men; that eattleNcan be wintered III
the hills quite as we'll without water as
with it, if there is snow and plenty OF grass
within reach of the stock, and even better III
extremely cold weather. The idea enter
tanned by some, that stock is in more dan-
ger Of freezing without water, is erroneous.
During a very severe winter in a country
colder than Montana, myself and others
kent our cattle ia the high hills where there
was no water, and one Thing was observed
that they never once showed signs OF suffer
ing from cold, while stock III the valley
ranging along the streams-many OF them
were frozen to death. One small band of
mine separated from the rest III a snow
storm, and stayed Oh q high range where
they lived like wild elk, on browse and what
little grass was in their reach. And when
driven to the ~valley-after the weather had
moderated-they refused to drink, preferr-
ing snow to quench their thirst. | have no
ticed that cows with young calves at their
side, would sometimes drink when other
stock would not, indicating that melting OF
snow by means of the mouth and stomach,
was two slow a process for the increasd de-
mand consequent upon sucking their young;
but such should,be kept up and cared for,
whether they need water or not.
In conclusion l will say, if | have any ad.
yertising or job printing ofany kind, shall
apply to the Missouliasa, as the chief of the
'.ink-roller and type doper ofthat office
knows how to do it up in tirst-class style
but, If I have a herd of cattle thatI want &c
send to the North Pole to have them graze
on the other side during the winter, ! shall
send an experienced stock-man.

WOOL AND. WOODEN GOODS In NEW
YORK.

OAA
From the statistics of the importation of
wooden goods at New York we see that|
there has been a decrease i'll importation In
the years of 1874 and 1875 OF over nineteen
million dollars worth We make no COM
meat, but direct the especial attention OF
our readers to the fact that there is a large
and annually increasing increase of manu-
facturers in the United States. The Michi-
gan Farmer directs attention to his subject
i'm q leading article, which we abridge as fol-
lows -
The statistics Of the importation OF for
eign dry goods at New York, when exam
ined, indicate change as going on, which,
in our opinion, has q bearing OF much inter
est to manufacturers. 1t also-has q very
considerable interest for the Wool-dealers
and wool-growers of the United States. A
comparison OF the amount Ot.Woolen goods
imported in the ten months. of 1876, which
have just expired, with the importations Of
WOODEN goods for the corresponding periods
of 1875 and 1874, show q decrease almost
equal to % per cent. in their value. The
fact stands prominently out that the value.
Of the wooden goods imported during the
ten months extending from January lst to
October 3lst, 1876, was as follows:

Mother.

Mother
Early one summer morning,
1 saw two children pass;
Their footsteps slow, yet lightsome,
Scarce bent the tender grass.
One, lately out Of babyhood,
Looked up with eager eyes
The other watched her wistfully,
Oppressed with smothered signs.
See, mother!" cried the little one,
81 gathered them for you?
The sweetest flowers and lilies,
And Mabel has some, too"
" Hush, Nelly !" whispered Mabel,
&" We have not reached it yet.
Wait till we get there, darling,
1t isn't far, my pet"
"Get where ?" asked Nelly. "Tell me-"
90 To the churchyard," Mabel said.
No no I" cried little Nelly,
And shook her sunny head.
Still Mabel whispered sadly,
g We must take them to the grave.
Come, darling I" and the childish voice
Tried to be clear and brave.
But Nelly still kept calling
Far up into the blues
See, mother, see, how pretty
We gathered them for YOU"
And when her sister pleaded,
She cried-and would not go:-
''Angels don't live in church-yards,
My mother don't, Rnow!"
Then Mabel bent and kissed her.
g So be it, DEAR" she said
Wen take them to the arbor
And lay them there instead.
For mother loved it dearly;
Tt was the sweetest place"
And the JOY that came to Nelly
Shone up in Mabel's face.
saw them turn, and follow
path with blossoms bright,
Until the nodding branches
Concealed them from my sight;
But still like sweetest music
The words came ringing through;
See, mother, see, how pretty
We gathered them for you
