1t is recorded that the ram Patrick
Henry, in 1870, then three years old,
sheared fleece of one years growth,
weighing thirty seven pounds. At the
Centennial exhibition samples were taken
from it, until it weighed only thirty four
pounds. It was then sent to the wooden
mill at Middlebury, Vt, to be cleansed.
Messrs. Chadwick Bros, under whose
supervision the work was done are re-
ported as certifying that the cleaned
fleece weighed nine pounds and ten
ounces.
ITCHING NAME. T. F., Hillsboro. ILL.,
Query What causes horses to rub their
name, and gnaw each other on the neck
and wltherSi
Peply:-When horses name is itch
ing from filth or dandruff, he naturally
feels inclined to rub the neck against
something, or to have somebody rub it
for him. As many horses prefer the lat
ter, and as the itching horse has no other
means of indicating his desires. in this
direction than by doing to others what
he wishes done to himself, he goes for
his neighbours neck. AS the bump of
reciprocBtion is big in horses, said neigh
bor also takes hold, whereby the desires
OF horse number one is gratified If a
preventive of this performance is desir-
ed, nothing will be better than daily
brushing and cleaning the name with a
stiff brush.
MANTENo, LII, Nov. 10.-1. Will ice
packed in tan bark do to use in the
creamery, or will the scent of the bark
remain in the ice and spoil the butter? 2.
Will it pay to use cutter to cut corn
stalks for dairy cows2 Ii SO, how short
ought it to be cut2
Answer:-1. We have never known ice
to contain the scent of any material it
was packed i'll after being washed. We
should prefer shavings or slough hay for
covering in the house in which it is pack
ed. Tan bark is good material for u.s.
ing between the walls of the house as a
non-conductor. . 2. We have heretofore
stated that we do not consider corn stalks
good feed for dairy COWS. If used, they
may be cut to length of two inches.

The Bally-Paschke Shooting-Bailey Ac-
Quilted of Malicious Intent, ETC., Upon the
Preliminary Examination-An AttemDt
to Institute Civil Proceedings Frustrated
by Baily's Departure.
Especial Cores pondence of the Globe,I
W1NNEBAao CRY, Feb. 1S.-The excitement
occasioned by the shooting of julie Paschke bv
Billy Belly on the 7th inst, as detailed by your
correspondent In the GLOBE of the 10th, has
been the topis of conversation by all the peo
pie ever since. From the time of the shooting
to the present various rumors have been put
In circulation, much to the detriment of
Baily. Accordingly on Wednesday of last
week, Baily surrendered himself to Sheriff I9
Pratt, of Faribault county, saying that as GER
tain rumors were afoat as to the causes that
prompted him to shoot Paschke, he desired
an investigation
Pratt telegraphed to Mr.. M. ". Greene, of
Wells county, attorney, who assisted by Mr. g.
J. Abbott. of this city, called on Mr.. Paschke
and took his statement, and Paschke swore out
complaint, alleging that Baily had with a
dangerous weapon, mallciously and feloniously
committed an assault with an attempt to do
great harm.
The preliminary examination was beoun
Friday afternoon before Judge j. V. Melt of
this city, who by the way, is very impartial
Justice and is quite popular here. He is also
proprietor of blacksmith shop, is an Ohioau,
ana descendant of Commodore Vanderbilt,
but is not too proud or too good to WELD the
hammer.
~, Baily was ably defended by Mr.. A. G. Dunn.
There were about ten witnesses examined on
each side, and after thorough examination.
lasting day and half, Baily was dismissed
Yesterday morning. Baily is young man
about ~ years old, native of New York city,
but recently from Brooklyn. He came here
last June, is about five feet high, and mere
boy in appearance. I have learned that as soon
as dismissed, Paschke instituted civil action
against Baily for $4,000 damages, and $1OO for
doctors bill, but on looking after Baily to
serve the papers on him, he was found missing.
It is supposed he has turned his face towards
Brooklyn, where his relatives reside.
Paschke is doing as well be expected,
yet suffers great deal of pain, together with
the excitement, he does not rest very much.
DR.. Humes set his jaw Sunday, and it is now
hoped and believed he will improve fast. Still
there Is no certainty that the injured man will
recover, though the community are one in the
hope that he may.

more had already established trade with Rio,
and had twenty or thirty vessels now Running.
The effect of this bill would be to divert the
Rio trade from Baltimore to New York.
Senator Conkling said there had been some-
thing said about a violation of contract, and
what should be done then. He was not one to
propose compromises, but why not amend the
bill so as to provide that the service shall be
performed by Chinese company, and then
Congress could end the contract whenever it
should choose to do so
Senator Bailey said he would, ut the proper
time, submit an amendment providing that
should the contract upon one line fail that
upon the other line should be forfeited.
Senator Blaine said the United States steam
er Tennessee was recently on a cruise of thirty
four months. The government paid for that
cruise two and half millions. Congress at
this very session bad appropriated thousands
of dollars for the South Atlantic squadron to
protect commerce which does not exist
Senator Herman, in reply to Blaine, said
Suppose the cruise of the Tennessee did cost
over two million dollars, was that any reason
why money should DO squandered on private
parties? Nothing but loss to the government
and scandal had come out Of these subsidy
bills.
The amendment of Mr.. Eaton that the con-
tract shall run four years instead of ten, as
proposed by the committee, was rejected, yeas
81, nays 80.
Senator Bailey then moved to limit the con-
tract to five years instead Of ten, and said the
bill of last year proposed that the contract
should run five years. Why, in the time
elapsed since, had the friends put it up to ten
years.
Senator Beck said at the last session of Con-
gress he said all he could against this subsidy
He knew there was majority of the Senate in
favor of It, and therefore there was no use in
his taking up time to oppose it.
Senator Bayard expressed the opinion that
there was danger in a scheme of this kind not
only to our government, bnt to the morals Of
our people.

SAN Francisco, Feb. l9.-About o'clock this

EpCapitan struck the Alameda on the port
quarter, shattering her guards and rail but do
ing her no serious damage. The port bow of
the ErCapitan was crushed in and she filed
and sank rapidly. The greatest terror and
confusion prevailed. Some Of the passengers
jumped on board the Alameda, and Others
sprang into the water. In few moments the
steamers drlfted apart and lost sight of each
other in the fog. The ErCapitau sank to the
hurricane deck, and drifted rapidly towards
North Point, in strong ebb tide. The harbor
commissioners tug, Governor Irwin, which was
in the vicinity, piloted by the cries of the pas
senge1s, and screaming of the whistles. steamed
at once to the rescue, and picked up those
struggling in the water. It is impossible at

others say it is impossible but that some must

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Murat Halsted, of the
Cincinnati Commercial, to-day made brief
statement to the Senate committee on rail-
loads. He said the letter he had written some
years ago and introduced into arguments upon
the Jones bill before the committee, grew out
OF warfare OF Western papers with the New
York associated press at that time The West
ern papers then conquered their independence
and now transact their business through their
own organization, having business relations
however, with the New York associated press,
The Western Unioa Telegraph company had
treated them with absolute fairness The
main object Of the New York associated press
was to prevent reckless competition among its
own members. The newspaper business was a
private one, and the government had no right
to NEEDLE with it at all. Men connected with
the press had the same rights as any other citi-
zens no more. They claimed that when they
had built up system of obtaining news as the
Western associated press, employing agents
everywhere, they had right to the news as
property. There were too mauy newspapers
now. They were dying out, and therefore it
was not good policy to encourage other swarms.
Senator Mitchell-What do you think of Civ
ing railroad com panies the privilege Of trans
mlttlng commercial messages?
Mr.. Halsted-They will do we'll to mind their
own business. The privilege would add to
their privileges in elections. do not think
the rule of railroads would benefit the country
