Infants Sacque in Star Stitch.

Material :. One skein white Shetland and one of blue.
 Begin at the bottom, making chain of 182 stitches, crochet ten times across, keeping the edges straight. Eleventh row; narrow in the center of the back, then work eight times across, narrowing in the center of the back each time.
 To make the arm-hole, crochet ten stars; break your wool; omit one and proceed to the center of the back, mar row one when within eleven stars of the other edge break the wool and omit one star as on the other side; go seven times across after this manner and you have @ slot for the sleeve. Crochet across four times, narrowing on each shoulder and in the center of the back. ...
 For sleeve, set up chain of fifty-four stitches; crochet round and round, not breaking the wool until you reach the top of the sleeve; eighteen times round will be sufficient; crochet nearly round, emitting two stars break the wool 1; crochet three times across, emitting one star at the beginning and dropping one at the end of each row; this will round up top of the sleeve. Finish with an edge of blue. A cord run in the neck, with balls of blue and white to be tied at the back, completes the sacque. This will be sufficiently large for a child from nine to twelve months old - Tribune. \

Suing for Lost Cattle.
SPREADING FROM ONE ONE HERD TO ANoTHER--R IRRESPONSIBLE hIrY OF THE OWNER OF THE FIRST.


 The present term of the Hunterdon, N. J., Circuit Court has had on it's list, among others, very interesting case, involving the character of pleuro- pneumonia, so prevalent among the cattle of this State. The case promises to be exceedingly important, as furnish- ing precedent in the settlement of suits originating from the same cause. The farm of George M. Freck, in Clinton Township, adioins that of John c. Cramer. In 1877 they each had a large number of cattle, and were each engaged in the milk trade. In August of that year some of Cramer's cattle were taken sick, and on August the veterinary surgeons of the vicinity pronounced the disease to be pleuro-pneunaonia They ordered Cramer to separate the sick cattle from the others, as they believed the disease was contagious. He thereupon placed the diseased stock in small field next to Freck's land. On August 12 Freck gave notice to Cramer to remove the sick cattle, and on August 15 called meeting of the Township Committee, of which he was Chairman, to take some action under the statute authorizing it to quarantine cattle in order to prevent the spread of the disease. No decisive action was taken, but it was determined that Cramer should remove his stock until it could be ascertained what the disease really was and what had best be done. A short time afterward Freck's cattle con- tracted the malady, seven died, and a large number were very sick. His loss was about $900.
 The suit just tried was brought to recover the $90O, on the ground that Freck's cattle received the disease from Cramer's stock, through his negligence in putting his sick cattle next to Freck's land, and in not removing them after the meeting of the committee. Cramer, in his defense, maintained that Freck's s cattle did not contract the disease from his; that there was no negligence on his part; that on August 12, after receiving Freck's notice, he had made an agree ment with Freck's farmer by which the cattle were to remain; and that on the day the committee met he took away his sick cattle, and did not return them again until he received Freck's consent. He also contended that if there was 1egli- gence, it was contributory on the part of Freck, because Freck knew for two weeks before he said anything about it that Cramer's cattle had pleuro- pneumonia. During the trial several medical experts testified. The verdict was in favor of Cramer.

About she Market.

In commenting on the stock market
the San Francisco Exchange says : 1t Is
easier to explain the Improvement than
the falling of. There is svory reason
why the market should be strong. The
mines are looking wsll-ths Comstock
papers say never were better. As stocks
have continued, however. IN 60 down
steadily, despite the constantly arriving
reports OF good indications, north. south
and middle, the present improvement
can hardly be explained BY the cheerful
reports from the front. The natural
conclusion Is that the changed condition
is due to legislative action. IT would
not be surprising to many II time should
show that contemporaneously with the
improvement in stocks the death.knell
Of the a~nti.stock bills had been sounded.
Tho amendments to Gorley's bill have
conduced to the happy change. As
those amendments are likely to receive
rough treatment in the Assembly, how.
ever, the speculative public want some
thing more assuring to base their hopes
on. The representatives OF Pine street
interests have been in Sacramento, and
II is not improbable that they have
observed and learned enoughto convince
them that the conservative element oil
the Legislature will stand between the
mining industry and the wild Commu.
nists OF the sand lot. We're the public
convinced that this impression Is based
on fact the market should rise by Its
own buoysncy. There is nothing to
keep ii down.

Them.

Following is the statement Of ]. A.
Colwsli relative to the stabbing ARRAY
with John mckinley:
When I was through retortiug I took
the little bullion that / got. put Il in my
pockets, and went up to the Pluto
House to supper. Mckinley came in
soon after. Ioould see that be had been
drinking. He came over to where I was
sitting and asked How much was there
OF 1t 2" meaning the bullion. I said,
"Scant four ounces" He replied,
"You might as well give 1t to the old
woman" meaning his wife. ~
guess I'll take this up to wiegand's
myself" said /. Upon that he flew
into q terrible passion. called me o d
son OF A., and all kinds Of names.
All at once he caught me by the whisksrs
and threw me over on the floor, putting
his knee on my breast. begged him to
let me up and told him I would give him
the bullion. as I didn't want to have any
trouble about 80 small . thing. / knew
he was very stubborn about anything
when be was drunk. The outsiders in
teriersd and took him of. and his wife.
who was looking for him, came in and
took him away. I sat down by the stove
and noticed that the skin had been par
TALLY knocked from q Of my knucklss
in the scufis, and that 1t was hanging
BY q shred, SO / took out my pocket
knife to cut II of. and not expecting to
use IL otherwise. a. Mckinley had gone
out and I did not expect him back. In
q few minutes / heard his voice. He was
swearing. and just a. l turned around he
was standing at my side with q rock in
his hand. / jumped up, and as / did 80
hs hit me ON the side Of the face with the
rock. hurting me pretty badly. l got out
Of the way as much AZ possible. and he
made another pass at me, striking me on
the left arm ut the point OF the shoulder.
The rock fell from his hand and he
clinched me. Up to this time l had not
thought OF using my knife, though l was
holding 1t in my hand all the time.
When be clinched he began to grapple
for my throat and / saw he was going to
get the best Of me. I slipped my thumb
down ON the blade Of the knife and be-
gan 10 jsb him with it. He kept on
trying to get hold Of my throat, and
somebody in the crowd hollsred. Hes
got q knife" meaning me. We were
then separated.
My reason for wanting to take the bul.
lion up to the assay office was that the
last lot, which amounted to Sal. was
taken up by McGinley's wifs, and as she
could not wait for 1t. he slipped OF the
next day and got 1t, and l never saw u
cent Of it. He said somebody took 1t
away from him. but I made up my mind
no had lost 1t gambling.
Mckinley is doing well, and DR.. Mat.
thsws thinks hs will be able to attend
the examination OF Colwell next Thurs.

to preserve order and keep the peace OF
