An american Eagle Shows FIght.

The other day, while Colonel Z. J.
Campbell was riding through his farm
at Bakersville, n. c., he CHANGED to see
IN eagles nest in a tree. The eagle
usually builds in cliffs, but this was an
exception to the rule, and the Colonel
climbed the tree to investigate it. be
mad just got within reach of the nest
Where the young were nesting, when the
Old mother, which had been sailing
around, came by and swooped down on
the unwelcome stranger. Colonel Camp
bell fought it with his right hand while
he chung to branch with his left, but
the eagle was too much for him. 1t
picked both hands so that he was com
PEELED to relax his hold. and down he
fell to the ground, distance of twenty
live feet. In the fall he broke his left
leg and rib, and the eagle, not satisfied
with driving him from the tree, pursued
him to the ground, where it continued
the assault. 1t wounded him seriously
in the face, and would probably have
killed him, but his cries brought two
farm hands. One of them had a CUR

Concerning Butter.-Complaints are
received at this Office, says the Utica
Obserrer, from dealers in butter that
they are unable to procure constant
supplv of an article that is strictly
choice. They state that large quantities
have of late been offered, very little of
which was such as they wanted, and yet
they were expected 10 take it and pay
therefor the highest market quotation.
Some hold the opinion that the recent
decline in prices has caused butter
makers to become less paintaking in its
manufacture. We hope such Is not the
case, as it must necessarily work to the
detriment of the farmer in Cutting the
market with an article that cannot be
disposed of.
1t Is undoubtedly true that tastes
vary as to what is strictly prime butter,
and the following from the Little Falls
Journal contains a timely suggestion:
&" As long as it can be demonstrated that
fully three-fourths of the butter made
and sold in Herkimer County is at best
but of second or third rate quality,
no dairyman has a right TO assume that
because he detects no fault with his
own make for his own table, that there
fore he makes a choice, prime article
that viii please others, who may be
more critical. There are a few good
butter-makers about us, well known to
our best families, who readily sell their
butter at from three to six cents a
pound more than the highest market
quotations If buttermaker is getting
no more for mis- butter than the market
quotations, he should suspect its quality
and institute a thorough investigation
and, if possible, find where the fault
lies. We can refer dairymen to few
who make and sell a splendid article,
and if they will take the trouble to
make the inquiry we will take pleasure
in doing so. We speak from our con-
victions and are sure this subject de-
mands thought and investigation. There
is a chance for great improvement in
this branch of husbandry."
What is true of Herkimer County is
also true OF Oneida County, and the re-
marks above quoted apply with equal
force to many butter-makers in this
vicinity. Those who possess the ability
to manufacture and place upon the
market extra fine makes now have
chance to command a figure for their
butter considerably in advance OF the
average market quotation, and such
would do well to strike while the iron
is hot.

Anglican Innovations in London.

Six wears ago ice was such a rarity in
London that extra charges were made at
