Some weeks ago the Pensacola Ice
Company advertised in the Gazette
tor cooper TO manufacture barrels
for them, and almost Immediately re-
ceived an answer from an artisan Of
the kind desired. The necessary ar.
engagements have been made, and Mr..
Weinert, the cooper employed by
them, commenced operation yester.
day morning at his shop on Main
street, where he can be seen at work
by the curious. He is at present
working entirely for the Ice Com

Sheep are very profitable in this
county and are probably equally so in
the adjoining counties. Some six or
seven years ago Mr.. w. F Burts,
our efficient Collector of Revenue,
bought something under two hundred
head which cost him near five hun.
dred dollars. OFF of these sheep he
has realized about nine hundred dol.
lars, though he estimates that he has
lost fully two hundred head from
depredations of dogs and by other
casualties since he has owned them,
and has largely increased flock on
hand. He says that at first, cattle
men were quite inimical to sneep as
they claimed that this latter stock
injured the range, but that now they
are beginning to see that they were
mistaken and their hostility is fast
disappearing. Dogs are an intolera-
bic nuisance, however, Tampa Iri-

The Dummit orange grove on
Indian River, containing 1900 trees,
is bringing a splendid return to its
owner, Mr.. Schuyler, this season.
He has remained in the grove super
intending the picking and packing,
and Mrs. Schuyler has received them
in jacksonville, and sold them all
there by the crate to visitors at the
hotels, who wished them to ship to
their friends. AT first Mrs. Schuyler
sold them at three and three and a
halt dollars per crate of one hundred
and lwenty-eight oranges but, later,
she received five dollars per crate,
and will not sell any below that
figure. An acquaintance OF theirs IN
formed us, on Monday, that up 10
last Friday four hundred and sixty.
two thousand oranges had been sold
from the grove. The crop will aver
ace about thirty dollars thousand,
aggregating to date the snug sum OF
thr.cen thousand eight hundred and
sixty dollars.-SmJord Journal.
