phere. The consolation is that sucha
result must be the exception, and not
therule. In Santa Cruz the efforts of
the advanced planter might be
frustrated on the average .once in
every. five or six years, but in the
other years he would be amply repaid.
We notice in this connection that the
canes in Barbados are looking exceed
ingly we'll, and that the planters attri-
butte this in part to the excellent arti-
fetal fertilizers which they have been
able to obtain under guaranteed
analyses secured by the action of the
Agricultural Association. What is
done in Barbados by the Agricultural
association could only be here secur-
ed by private effort or by the Gov
eminent; but if secured, there is no
doubt that in favourable seasons it
would show itself as profitable as in
Barbados.
We have reprinted during the
month two able articles on the Sugar
Bounty question, one, from the Times,
opposingth the proposition to put acoun-
tervailing duty onbounty-paid beetroot
sugar imported into Great Brit"in; the
other from the Spectator defending
that proposition. Our planting friends
who care for this, it must be confess
ed, rather dry reading, will find the
question ably handed from the two
opposite points of view, and will be
able to form their own opinion, which
we suppose will go, as a rule, with
that of the Spectator. In the mean
time it appears that England's COM
mercial treaties prevent her from
imposing a duty on the goods Of any
one country without imposing it on
those of all others; and the actual
position will therefore probably remain
unchanged.
There is consolation, though not of
the highest kind, in learning that our
neighbours are not free from difficult
ties any more than ourselves. If we
i'll the West Indies find il hard to up
hold the cane cultivation against
droughts and labour difficulties, our
more successful rivals, the beet-root
growers and manufacturers, have also
their troubles, as will appear clearly
from what follows. Our attention
has been directed to a very interest
ing article in a Danish periodical
devoted to Natural Science (Tids-
skritt for Populere Fremstillinger af
Naiurvi6enskaben) the subject Of
which is Plant diseases produced by
round-worms." The greater part of
the article is devoted to the descrip-
ton of a disease which attacks the
sugar beets in Germany, and which
lately has appeared also in Denmark.
The opening paragraph Of the article
reads thus:
In most of the districts of Germa-
ny which are devoted to raising sugar
beets, there has been recognized for
several years past a disease making
its appearance among these beets,
and indeed also among the fodder
beets. which has been called "Roe-
tr@thed" (~litera-ly beet-weariness or
exhaustior), and which gives just
ground for serious anxiety. This

The Reading Eagle prints the follow
ing: "Mrs. Katzenmoyer, residing at
house No. 1922 Princetown ST., Hamp-
den, has quite curiosity in the shape
of a COW having two tails. The one is
placed where all cows tails are situated,
and the other anpendage occupies posi-
ton midway between the horns of the
animal 1t is over a foot in length, and
is steadily growing The cow is of q
brown color, and is six years old. The
animal is good mllker, and nothing
seems the matter with her except the
tail hanging between her horns. When
born nothing was found to be the mat
ter with the COW, and for years after
ward nothing was found upon its head
which bore evidences of some day be-
coming a tail. Some time ago a hard
lump or ball formed on her forehead.
This soon propounded, and has been
growing ever since. Mrs. Katzenmoy-
er's COW has one advantage over those of
her neighbors. She can whisk both her
front and hind tail, and thus keep the
flies away from all sides. Many persons
have come to see the COW, She does
not seem to experience any inconveni-
ence on account of the extra tail, except
that the hair gets into her eyes. If the
strange appendage continues growing
as it has been doing in the past it will
not be long before it will reach to the
ground. The tail hangs directly over
the cows nose, unless she throws it to
one side, which she does while eating
The extra tail is regularly formed, and
is composed first of fleshy matter, firmly
embedded In the forehead, and then a
lot of brown, bushy hair. The COW is
quite curiosity"

Wish We Had One,

The San Jose Mercury says: Some
three months ago, while hunting in the
mountains east of the Twelve-mile
House, Mr.. Burlington captured young
American eagle. At the time the bird
was quite small and from appearances
but few weeks old. Mr.. Burlington
has his pet confined in the back yard of
his shop, and the many and curious
monkey shines INDUCED in by the
mountain bird are really amusing
Measuring some eight feet from tip to
tip and weighing forty pounds, with
talons three inches in length, there is
but small chance for any dogs residing
in the neighborhood. For as sure as
canine makes his appearance, the eagle
spreads her heavy wings, and, with
loud scream, he lights upon the back of
the terror-stricken dog. The scene that
follows is one of great interest. The
dog, without further notice, darts
through the side gate and out into the
street, with the eagle ATTACHED to his
back, and that too in manner to stay.
Down the street he goes at breakneck
speed. AT distance of about two blocks
the eagle bids the dog an affectionate
adieu and quietly returns, as though
nothing had happened. The same ex-
pertinent is gore through with when
ever the dog can be procured. 1t does
not seem necessary to remark that dogs
of any description are seldom seem in
that portion of the town, and the same
dog never more than once. 1t would be
blessing to us if we had one such bird.

Spectators Come to Grief.

1t is interesting to know that the
syndicate who cornered wheat last fall
have lost between seven and nine mil.
lions of dollars, being unable to keep
prices up. They appear to have forgotten
that there were other countries in the
world besides America from which grain
supplies for the European millions could
be received. Mr.. Keene, who was at
the head of the movement, is said to
have lost about two millions. Every
body will say that it serves them right.
They did irreparable mischief-stopped
the wheels of commerce, caused hun
dreds of vessels to lie idle for months,
checked exports and reduced the balance
of trade between the countries-all for
what? to pocket loss which they
richly deserve.

A Singular Accident.

New YORK, July 14.-An accident
occurred on the long Island Railroad be-
tween Pearsoll's Station and Far Rocka-
way this morning. A gravel train 60
ing east, with thirty-fve italian laborers
on board, ran under heavy wire rope
by which a derrick near the track was
sustained, sweeping the cars and knock
ing off the laborers. Many men were
manned in a shocking manner and
many had their skulls fractured, while
others escaped with broken limbs
Three are fatally injured. None of the
laborers can talk English. They were
conveyed to Brooklyn on a special train
for medical treatment.

Another OIL Region Fire.

BRADFORD, Pa, July 15.-Tank 628,
belonging to the Acme Oil Company,
about third of a mile up Kansas
Branch, Mexican County, was struck
by lightning early this morning, and at
12:40 is burning furiously and overflow
ing. Tank 621, about 200 feet down the
stream, is in danger. Superintendent
Snow and gang of men are digging
trenches and damming the stream to
save more tanks. Two 25,OOO-barrel
tanks near Custer City are now burning.
They were also struck by lightning last
night. Both belong to the United Pipe
line. About $4,000 barrels of oil are
burning. Four wells at Custer City
were also fired.
The burning fluid rushed down the
creek to Degolia, burning derricks and
several barns and bridges. The Kansas
branch fire is confined to one tank
Fully $4,000 barrels of oil were in
flames.

A GREAT ROAD.
One Thousand Locomotives and Forty Thou
sand Cars In Motion.

That the Pennsylvania railroad system
is vast one is known in general way
by everybody, but just how colossal it
is and how enormous is the machinery
required to transact the ceaseless bust
ness Of the company, is a matter that
can be comprehended only by those
who have before them the actual figures
which tend to make the question clear.
People W no go speeding over the road
often wonder how many locomotives are
necessary to move the immense number
of trains that are forever going hither
and thither on the oompany's tracks,
and how many cars there may be in
motion over all the roads owned and
controlled by the company; but few of
them can ever approximately guess at
the real figures, and most of them would
doubtless feel incredulous if some one
were to "guess' there were over 1000
locomotives and more than 10000 cars
in motion on the various divisions of
the system of roads belonging to the
Pennsylvan ia railroad company east of
Pittsburgh.
In addition to the equipment in the
above there were also 1870 cars run
ming over the various lines, owned by
individuals and companies, including
1000 railway equipment trust cars, $500
car trusts, 500 railway car trusts, 8 3,4O6
empire car trusts, 1908 tank car trust
cars, and ,l43 union and national line
cars.
On the Penns ylvania railroad division
the total gross earnings showed an in
crease over 1878 of 81 ,427 ,4sS 45, or per
cent. The earnings from passengers
increased LILO per cent; the earnings
from freight increased per cent. and
the net earnings increased $780, ,951 .53,
or G 1-10.

Lost His Shoes.

Clayton s. Wilson, q travelling agent
for Jenkins tea house, in company with
several miners sought shelter in the sta
ton at Milwood, on the Pennsylvania
railroad forty eight miles from Pittsburg
during thunder storm. They had not
been there long when the building was
struck by lightning. The bolt descend
ed along stove pipe, and running across
the floor, struck Mr.. Wilson on the feet.
He started for the door and ran about
two hundred yards when he discovered
that the lightning had literally torn his
shoes into shreds. The toes of his left
foot were badly lacerated and the right
foot was badly blistered. The miners
who were in the building thought when
the bolt struck him, that he had shot
some one, or exploded can of nitro
glycerine. He was brought to the city
and DIR. Shaw attended him, and found
that he was not seriously hurt.

A Divorce Suit Spoiled.

The Kansas City Times says, two or
three days ago paint wagon went tear
ing along Thirteenth street, drawn by
a team that was thoroughly frightened.
All at once the wagon was overturned
and the occupant who was the defendant
in divorce suit, was thrown out, and
sustained fracture of an arm. The
lady at whose door he had been deposit
ed rushed out and beheld her husband
insensible, and, as she thought, dying
She embraced him and wept over him,
and he was gently carried into the house
where, in few moments, he returned
to consciousness. A reconciliation then
took place, and they are now living to-
gether as happy as two turtle doves
The result will be the dismissal of all
interesting divorce suit.

deep water, and after few minutes, ON his
not appearing, his companions found him
insensible, having struck sharp stake uii-
der ten feet OF water that entered his side.
He was brought TO the surface and taken
home. II was thought he could not SUR
vive the shock, as he was badly lacerated.
CoLUMBus, o., july 18.--At noon to-
day s. S. Rickley, President Of the Capitol
City Bank, was shot through the forehead
while standing at his desk by Andrew Eich-
enberg, German dyer. Eichenberg was
on the street, and as soon as he shot Mr..
Rickley he placed revolver 10 his temple,
and shot himself, dying almost instantly.
Mr.. Rlckley may probably live, but the
chances are against him. The trouble
grew out Of Mr., Rickley's refusal to loan
Eichenberg money.
sAN FRAEusco, July I'm. Gardner,
aged 10, and II. Fitch, aged ii, were found
dead near Potter Valley, Mendocino Coun-
ty, to-day. One was shot through the head
and the.other through the heart. Noguar-
rel is known to have existed between the
boys, and 1t is believed to be a case Of MUIR
\ der. A mans tracks were found In the
vicinity, but there is no other clew.
PETERsBURG, va, July 1s.--The body
of an unknown white man supposed 10
have been murdered was found to-day on
Rushmore's farm, Prince Georges County,
five miles from this city. A rope was tied
tight AROUND his neck. Deceased was
found in a rude box which had evidently
been thrown into the ditch and left there
unburied.
EB~ Covington is doomed city. 1t is
situated on a bend of the Missouri River,
the banks of which are being eaten away.
The ground on which the Court house
stood year ago is now covered by many
feet of water The cutting away is done
unevenly. On recent Sunday the current
set in shore and took off strip of land
thirty feet wide in a few hours. No inva-
sions were made for another week, when
another slice was cut off. Then half
dozen buildings we're moved back thir-
ty feet, and the next day the lend on which
they had stood was all gone. The residents
have tried to moor trees and logs to the
bank, in the hope Of forming barrier for
the food, but the current is so swift and
the water SO deep that these attempts
have failed.

A Remarkable Case In Brooklyn.


A woman whose name Is withheld,
went to Judge Nelson, of the Brooklyn
City Court, recently, and told him she
had just discovered that the man she
had married three years before, was her
brother natural son of her mother.---
Both were born in Sweden, and the
mother came to this country some years
ago. She subsequently followed with
her aunt, and the boy, who went by an
other name and who had lived in the
family as an adopted son, was left be-
hind. When he became man he
came to this country and she mar
ried him. Her mother did not know
of this marriage till recently and
then told her whom she had married.
Judge Nelson told her that she had
been guilty of no offense in the sight of
God and that If any one was to blame 1t
was her mother, who should have told
her of the relationship before. He di-
rected lawyer to begin suit on her
behalf for annulment of the marriage
and custody of her child, a daughter.

TIE TIMES, NEW BLOOMFIELD, PA. JuLY2o 1880.

OF this was that Yost's liability as an'in-
dorser is only secondary, while the other
two men are primarily liable. Yost as
indorser can only be proceeded against
after the Others fail to pay and he re-
ceives notice Of protest. 1t was argued
that the word indorser meant precisely
what 1t said, while on the other hand 1t
was contended that II he was an indors-
er his name should have been upon the
back of the note and not in the place
set apart for the maker. The Court
however held that Mr.. Yost was an in-
dorser and decided in his favor.

What Constitutes an Endorsement.

A case arising from curiously.
structed promissory note was recently
before Judges Ludlow, Finletter and
Yerkes for argument. The point of the
case was whether G. Washington Yost,
whose name appears upon the note was
an indorser or a maker of the note.
The note in question bore the follow
ing shape:
CoLLEGEvILLE, September IL, 1874.
Sixty days after date we, OF either of us,
promise to pay 10 the order of Henry G..
schwenk, two hundred and ten dollars without
defaleation, value received.
WILLIAM @. GORDON,
GEORGE PRINGLE,
G. WASHINGTON YosT,
Indorser.
The note was printed blank and the
word "indorser" was printed in the
note before the parties signed it. Mr..
Yost put in an affidavit of defence, say
ing that he was an indorser of the note
and nota maker, which the plaintiff
contended he was. The practical effect

Learning Wisdom by Experlence.

Old Mrs. Sheppard collects about ST.
600 in rents every July at Dayton, Ohio,
and puts the money in bureau drawer
AS she lives alone the folly of keeping
SO much money by her was long ago ex-
planned to her. In 1873 mask robbers
entered the house and took the treasure.
In 1879 the robbery was repeated in pre-
cisely the same manner. This year she
hid 1t carefully, but the rascals choked
her until she told them where it was
She now promises to put the receipts for
1881 in the bank.
