When Thomas drove up TO q

kindly inquired:

"And how many cows have

The gentleman made soma re-.

"Say, Thomas, how much milk
per day do your cows average?"
"Seven quarts, SIR"

horticultural Pavilion to b
Built.

The August session of the Horti-
cultural Society was held at Union
Hall yesterday, and, considers
ing the very busy season of
the year, a large membership was
in attendance. A proposition to
proceed at once with the erection
of the Pavilion was very favorably
received, and a suggestion from one
of the conservative members that
the building be postponed till next
season because of the chronic hard
times, met with no approval. Res
oluti0ns giving the Board Of Di-
rectors power to act In the prem
ises were unanimously adopted. A
special meeting of the Board for
that purpose will be held on Mon
day next. 1t appears that under
the bylaws of the Society the
Board had no power to erect the
Pavilion unless specially ordered to
do so by the Society at q regular
meeting, and that from an over
sight the Society has heretofore
neglected to pass such o vote; hence
the unaccountable delay heretofore

Tho Vino Trade In Lo, Angeles

We translate the following from
an article on the above subject in
yesterdays u Union.
After all that has been written
lately on the inferior quality of the
wines of Los Angeles, their low
price and the difficulty to dispose
of them, the public will learn, not
without surprise, that the cellars OF
our manufacturers and dealers in
native wines are almost empty;
aud that what little there Is OF red
and white wine left is In the bands
of only tilr, 0 manufacturers. We
must say something in explanation
of this abnormal condition of our
wine market. Last year, at the
time of the vintage, the price of
grapes kept in the vicinity of e5
cents and never passed 3o per
hundred pounds. Encouraged by
this low price and by the favorable
law with reference to grape BRAN
dies, the manufacturers distilled
into the latter article nearly all
their inferior grapes, which en-
abled them to secure a very good
wine from their presses, and at q
cost which was comparatively
small. This enabled them to
sell their wines to the
local consumers at the very modest
figures OF 20 cents per gallon whole
sale and 2o cents at retail. The
cheapness of the wine, as it always
occurs with everything, secured for
it a large demand and Increased
consumption. On another hand,
large quantity of our wines
were shipped East and to San
Francisco by the merchants. Thus,
three exceptional causes have oper-
ated to produce q scarcity in wines
at the beginning of the coming
vintage-the increase in local con-
sumption, in expectation and
in the manufacture of brandy.
The new vintage will not be
finished till October, and the new
wine will not he fit to drink till the
end of December. The merchants
will therefore have four difficult
months to go through, and 1t is
impossible that the interval will be
bridged without sensible increase
in prices. Another reason will con-
tribute to this. The grape crop
coming in will be an inferior one.
The heavy dews falling on the
grapes aud the leaves of the vines,
remain there till the sun suddely
comes up, when the water globules
refract the heat und burn and shriv-
ell the fruit and the leaves. This
process has gone on so long as to
materially affect the crop, and the
vintage will be so shrunk that it is
very probable grapes will command
from so to 55 cents per hundred
pounds. The leading French mer-
chants who now, to a great eX-
tent control the wine trade OF
this valley, alive to the situation,
held council, last Saturday, ,at the
general entrepot of Mr.. Maud, at
which were the following gentle
men; Messrs. #. Vignes, Ed. Maud
Anton Valla, Jean Bernard, Jean
Marie Vignes and others. 1t was
proposed at that consultation tc
raise the price of wines five cents
per gallon. Although the proposi-
tion was accepted as correct in prin
ciple by the conference, q certain
opposition was raised which will
leave the prices us they are for the
present; but rise is among the
things inevitable, and it would be
a wise thing on the part of small
dealers and others to close up theil
contracts ut the prevailing market
prices.

The intensity of the late drought
in Australia may be judged by the
simple calculation made by the in
spector of stock, that in New South
Wales alone 100000 sheep were
lost last year from the effects of
the dry weather. At least another
million must be added to account
for the losses of this year and for
the loss suffered by small holders
and Others who were for various
reasons omitted from the returns.
Thus we have $5,0O0,00O sheep,
valued at S12, 100000 at least, de.
stroyed, directly or indirectly,
through the lack of pasturage con :
sequent on the drought. In 1875
the Australian colonies possessed
between them over 45,O0O,OOO
sheep, of which 10000. 600 belonged
to New South Wales. There is
reason to believe that in Victoria
and South Australia the effects of
the drought were quite as disas-
trous as in New South Wales,
while in Queensland they were
doubly severe. Is is not, there
fore, too much to estimate that al
least the same proportion of the
flocks elsewhere were destroyed as
in New South Wales, and that in
Australia alone, emitting Tasman-
Ia aud New Zealand, 5000, 600 sheer
perished in q single summer.

Or. Carver in New Jersey.
New York Sun, Aug, III

New York sun, Aug.I.)
The tournament of the Jersey
City Heights Gun Club, which in
cluded an exhibition by DR.. w. F.
Carver, was had at the West Side
Driving Park near Marion. The
marksman first undertook the feat
Of breaking with a rifle 80 out of
100 glass balls thrown into the air
by q man 35 feet away. 1t was a
failure. He had missed 20 balls out
Of IS, and did not shoot at any
more. He attributes his failure to
the peculiar method of the thrower,
who threw some of the balls 80 that
the sun shone in the marksman's
eyes.
The Doctor repeated the attempt
and broke 81 out of 100. He then
undertook to break as many as
possible In a minute. As the balls
were thrown into the air slowly
he called to the man at the basket
to pitch them faster, and then the
Jersey made them fly through
space with such rapidity and in a
manner that so convulsed the Doc
toi WIN IuuSll1tI tuuL lie was cOtn-
PEELED to interrupt his shooting for
some seconds. He broke only 2S
balls. In the second attempt he
broke %.
While the Doctor was carelessly
talking TO friend somebody picked
up missed ball, and throwing it
violently down the track, chal-
lenged him to break it before 1t
stopped rolling. The Doctor, who
had not noticed the man throwing
the ball, turned around quickly,
seized his rifle that lay on the table,
loaded it, and broke the ball while
it was moving rapidly at a distance
o.about sixty yards. This was un-
questionably the most brilliant
shot of the day. After breaking a
number of canes, police clubs, cigar
cases, pencils, and coins, the Doc
tor retired.
