The Stale Fair.

We are in receipt of the premium list
and rules for the thirty first annual ex-
hibition of the Michigan State Agricul-
tural society, to be held at Detroit, COM
mencing Monday, Sept. 18th, and closing
Friday, Sept. 10Th. Arrangements have
been made with nearly all the railroads
of the state to carry passengers to and
from the fair for one fare, and for the
transportation of stock and articles for
exhibition free at owners risk. The
great number of railroads centering at
Detroit in addition to the unequaled
water facilities of reaching that city
makes it the most desirable place for
holding the animal exhibitions to insure
success, and we think should be made
the permanent place for holding the
fairs. The facilities for getting there
are not only the best, but that city is
better prepared for taking care Of such
crowds as the annual exhibitions usual
ly attract, having the most ample hotel
accommodations, and even if crowded
the numerous suburban villages can be
brought into requisitiOn and made avail
able, so that no matter how large the
attendance, all can be accommodated,
The facilities afforded by the numerous
boats plying between this port and De-
trOit and their reasonable rates, together
with the fact that our county is to be
represented at the exhibition, should in
duce many of our citizens to attend the
coming fair. ..N-.-lE -le-E

The Antelope Afloat.

From the Chippewa County News.
What seemed to be an almost unheard-
of undertaking has become a reality.
Inc ya~ht Antelope is again afiOat, and
will soon be ready for business, AS
stated at the time of the disaster, the lit
tile craft was in ia feet of water.
Wednesday morning of last week she re-
turned under steam, showing that she
had suffered very little damage by her
few weeks sOjOurn in the depths of Lake
Superior. A line fastened to her stern
post, with buoy attached, marked the
spot where she lay. A capstan on a scow
attached to this line raised her enough
to get line under her hull, and she was
gradually raised and towed into a har-
bOr, when she was pumped out and pre-
pared for her homeward journey. That
she was saved seemed almost miracle,
and everyone rejoices with the owners
over their good fortunes. The Antelope
is the first craft that ever was at the
bottom of Lake Superior one hundred
and fourteen feet deep that was again
flOated. - ~" - Gel

Eishy Story.

In the Post and Tribune we find the
following fish story from Mackinac
dispatch to the Chicago Times: avery re-
markable fish was captured here July
21st by Mr.. O. Blossom. .Itwas about 10
feet in length and its weight is estimat-
ed at about 400 pounds. It is perfectly
transparent, and the action of the heart
and other functional organs can be
plainly seen. Altogether it is very re-
markable specimen of the fnny tribe
and is well worthy the attention of scien-
lists and naturalists. Mr.. Blossom will
arrange tank containing alcohol in
order to preserve it. 1t excites great in
terest among our citizens, who have
never known that such a species of fish
existed"

Internal Revenue Receipts

A special telegram to the Inter Ocean
says: $50 far as can be judged by inter
nal revenue and pOstoffice receipts, the
country is getting in good condition
again. The increase i'm revenue receipts
Is marked, notwithstanding the eredue-
tiOn in the tobacco tax. The receipts
from the beer alone now exceed $1O,OOO,-
600 per annum.s Up to within a few
years very little beer was consumed i'm
the South. The drinkers there took
whisky straight, but beer is rapidly oc-
cupying the ground, to the benefit of
consumers, as is believed, for it is not a
drink that incites men to violence like
whisky. The growth of postoffice re-
ceipts is marvel. ; A few days ago a
statement was completed at the Postof-
flee Department showing the receipts
for the quarter ending March 81 last.
Several months are required to make a
full settlement with every postoffice, etc.,
and quarterly statements are therefore
delayed. From this balance sheet it ap-
pears that the receipts for the first three
months of the current year were $780,
O6S.O9, the largest quarters receipts in
the history of the department. This is
nearly equal to the annual receipts in
1859 and 1860, showing four-fold growth
Estimating by the receipts of the first
quarter this year, the total will reach
nearly $32, 100000. or more than double
the total receipts in 1876. The follow
ing gives at a glance the enormous
growth of postal receipts:

brain had received no injury, and that
there was no erysipelas at the locality of

which could scarcely be affected by an
outward wound, was the cause of his
death. The verdict of the jury was,
therefore, that "Exavia Mallett's death

Children and Chickens.

A small dwelling, stable, cornfeld,
working teams, farm tools, and the
usual farm stock comprise the home
companions and articles connected
with the employment and everyday
life of seventy-tive per cent. of farm
ers' children. Day by day they meet
with these or some OF them, their mo .
notonous lite goes on ever the same,
and their love for the beautiful lies
undeveloped and dormant; their
opinions and tastes are unheeded, or
are not brought out, and finally that
which might be developed into some
thing really praiseworthy. becomes
scared and hardened until at last,
when more mature, they find employ
ment only in the commonest and
cheapest pursuits of lite. No kind of
stock possesses so may attractions for
the little chaps as poultry; the hid
den nest, the smooth white eggs
daily renewed, the waiting and watch
ing for the Matching day, the dozen
little downy chicks running about the
coops, their change to tull-grown
chandeliers with brilliant garb and
prolonged crows, all have their infu-
ence, and tend to inspire the young
sters with love and admiration, and
to develop lasting tondness for the
beautiful throughout the brute Gre
alton. Fancy poultry is better for
this purpose than the common sorts;
they have higher value and possess
a similarity at once recognized by
children which. causes them to draw
comparisons, finally they become ex-
perts, and as they grow Older this
fondness reaches out to larger fields,
choice sheep and swine, stately cattle
and noble steeds, and with them will
come highly improved farms, home
comforts, and happiness for them
selves and for their families.-A. G.

Forest Destruction.

The London Pail Mall Gazette is
in earnest on a topic which concerns
us all. 1t says:
"There are few subjects on which
people are slower to learn from ex-
perience than in the matter OF the
destruction of forests. France,
Spain and Italy have suffered from
this interference with the natural
storage of rainfall; whole districts
have been rendered barren which
were formerly fertile, owing to the
destruction Of the trees. In India,
as we are discovering to our cost,
the wasteful cutting down of timber
has largely contributed to those dan
gerous alterations of flood and
drought which have so much to do
with famines. In some districts the
rainfall has decreased not less than
thirty per cent. during the last TWEEN
ty-fve years, owing to this cause.
In Australia the same effects are
being observed, and the result of

Interesting Letter About Sheep.

I have for a year or two, been i'm,
proving my flock of sheep, by cross
ing the common eve, commencing
with thoroughbred Cotswold bucks.
Then / purchased two full blood ewes,
Cotswold, and crossed with a full
blood Southdown buck, and these
bucks again with Cotswold, until my
flock of forty pens is about evenly
mixed beteen Cotswold and South
down. This has produced more and
better mutton on the part of the Cots
void, and less wool.
The Southdown, is decidedly the
best mutton sheep, harder in cold
weather, and better breeder. The
Cotswold is the best wool sheep, but
is tender, and must be handled well
in winter, and special care given to
them in Landing time, or they will
abandon their lambs. They seldom
breed until the second year, and will
clip from five to ten pounds to the
sheep.
I have buck, that will gross 800
pounds, and has clipped IL pounds.
But prefer the Southdown, on ac-
count of it's superior mutton qualities
and endurance Of cold.
The Cotswold, as a breed, is OF
great antiquity, and has been inter
bred principally with the Leicester,
which is an original klnsman. They
are possessed Of good form, have a
large head, broad chest, well round
ed barrel, and generally a straight
back, white face and legs. They are
widely disseminated in this country,
and have great popularity on account
of their size and heavy fleece. 1t is
said that some of this breed have
clipped as high as Is pounds. Where
the sheep are we'll kept, the fleece
will be from 6 to s inches in length,
but not so firm as the Southdown.
This is one of the Oldest and largest
English breeds, and more highly
priced for it's quantity of fleece than
quality. 1t is, however, the tavorite
among wool growers OF Virginia and
Tennessee, and will remain SO until
superseded by some other more pop
ular breed. l regard them as pecu-
liarly adapted to our southern coun-
try in constitution and habit, being
as fond of pine tops, cedar brush,
briars and leaves as they are of the
most nutritious grasses. Many a
WORKOUT farm would produce five
hundred pounds Of wool and several
thousand pounds of mutton with
less expense and attention than to
raise two bales Of cotton.-Ned, IN

Fish ChOWder.

Here is Daniel Webster's recipe
for fish chowder taken down from
his dictation: Take cod weighing
ten or twelve pounds, cod is better
than paddock, have it well cleaned
by the fishmonger, leaving the skin
on; cut it into slices an inch and a
half thick, preserving the head, which
is the best part Of the chowderi
take pound and half OF Clean tat
salt pork, and cut it into thin slices ;
do the same with sixteen or eighteen
good sized potatoes; take a very
large pot, put the pork into the bot
tom of it, and fry out all the fat take
out the pork, but leave the fat in the
pot; add to it three pints OF water ;
then put in layer of fish, so as to
cover as much OF the surface OF the
pot as possible; then a layer OF pota-
toes; then sift over two tablespoon
fuls of salt and a teaspoonful OF pepper
and little flour; then the pork cut
in strips; then another layer OF fish
and what potatoes there are lett, and
fill up the pot with water until it COW
ers the whole. Put the pot over a
good fire, and let the chowder boil
twenty-five minutes then.have ready
a quart of boiling milk and twelve or
fourteen hard crackers split; put
these in and let it all boil together
five minutes lon er.
