At this point about three and third acres
of land were condemned by jury for the
public use In making improvements, and
the damages assessed at one thousand dol
lars.
All the land thus condemned has been cut
away, the shore line reformed, the water
way widened more than $50 feet, and ten
foot channel carried up to the shore line
along the entire front, and the current is so
strong that 1t will, i doubt not, maintain its
full depth along that shore.

This was undertaken as soon as the stormy
season OF winter and spring was considered
over, and though due diligence has been
used with the managers of the old dredge,
yet the work is not half completed.
The bottoms of two vessels have been
found exactly where the channel formerly
existed, and though few pieces together
with this sand and like material found
around them) have been removed, yet until
the contractor has taken out the fragments
Of the wrecks (which he Is required to do),
all our dredging In the vicinity amounts to
but temporary relief.
Under the contract, and your orders,
shall insist upon the full and complete re-
moYal Of the fragments Of the wrecks.

Liberal Feeling for Milk.

The agricultural editor of The Maine
Farmer reports the following instances of
liberal feeding for milk. The supply of
cotton-seed was heavy, but free mixer
yielding from thirty or forty pounds Of
milk per day-will dispose, with good rel
ish and good effect, Of quantity of food
that would cloy dry animal or smaller
mixer. 1t is a common error in feeding
for profitable milk production that the
large mixers DO not get enough. Their
rations are too often gagged by the inferior
members of the herd which can only use
limited amount of extra feed. The greater
profit comes from liberal feed for liberal
mixers:
We continue to feed the cotton seed
meal at the rate of from two to three quarts
ger day (the latter quantity for the last few
weeks), from the first of November to the
first of May, six months, and during that
time she gave 10 gallons of milk, which. at
twenty cents per gallon, the price at which
it was sold, amounted to $142, and her
keeping for the time at % cents per day
amounted in round numbers to $42, leav ing
500 as the profit for six months. The
cottoD-se meal was then stopped and
cornmeal substituted at the rate of four
quarts per day. With this feed the flow of
milk was diminished four quarts per day
in two weeks, then steadily increased until
the first Of June, when the feed of meal was
discontinued. She is now nearly eight
months from the time Of calving, is again
with calf to come in about the middle of
February, and her daily yield of milk now
is fifteen beer quarts per day, with no feed
but pasture grass. She is in excellent
flesh"

His Second Wife Seeking a Divorce-The
Famous Showman's Matrimonial His
tory.
From the Bradford Pa) Era.
Dan Rice, the celebrated Snowman and
clown, was in Erie the other day, drawn
thither by an application for divorce fled
by his wife, Rebecca Rice of Girard. 1t is
claimed by the petitioner that Dan Rice, in
violation of his marriage vows, has willfully
and maliciously deserted her for period
of two years without just cause. The wo-
man now asking for divorce is Rice's Sec
ond wife. The first Mrs. Rice was circus
actress and shared with Dan his fame when
at its heighth. An event which transpired
while Rices show was exhibiting in Erie
caused her to apply successfully for
divorce. Two daughters was the re-
suit of this union. both of whom are now
comfortably married. Mrs. Rice after be-
ing divorced became Mrs. Warner. Dan
Rice wooed and won Miss Rebecca Nc
Cornell of Girard, lady many years his
junior and much his superior in tbs social
scale, SO her father, who was wealthy
banker and Presbyterian deacon, thought.
So bitterly was he opposed to the match
that he disinherited his daughter, notwith.
standing she was an only child. It has
been stated by Rice that he first saw Miss
Mcconnell at his show when an infant in
her nurses arms. The little thing evinced
such an extraordinary interest in the per-
formance as to attract his attention. Al
though then married man, he watched
her with special interest until she grew to
womanhood. After his first wife procured
divorce Rice won Miss Mcdonnell
as his bride. He was very
prosperous for some years after his
second marriage and erected costly man
sion at Girard and adorned the grounds sur
rounding it, the whole costing something
over 800, 900. In 1878 Rice went into bank
ruptcy and his fortune vanished like mist.
A boy, the very semblance Of his father,
was the result of his second marriage. Be-
fore the death of Mrs. Rice's father, some
years ago, he relented somewhat in his
feeling against his daughter and bequeathed
his property to her offspring. After his f.
nancial ruin Rice grew cold toward his
family, which was the cause Of his second
wife applying for separation. Rice's first
wife still resides in Girard and is said to be
on intimate terms with Mrs. Rice No. q
Rice has been seeking his wife for several
days past in the hope of dissuading hel
from urging the suit in divorce, but has
been unable to find her.
Morris tribune., 1881-08-18
Filth in Making Pork

The Rev. John F, Clyman, Auburn, N.
Y, says, in letter to Food and Health,
that while he thinks the flesh of well-bred
and well-fed swine may be wholesome for
moderate winter use, he objects to average
pork for the following reasons:
THE pig, more than any other domestic
animal, is subject to unnatural conditions
in breeding and feeding. If pigs were
allowed to roam in open field, breathing
pure air and eating clean and wholesome
food, instead of being confined in close,
illy.ventilated sly, and compelled to root
for large part of their food in the muck
of the barnyard or dungheap, then the flesh
of such pigs would be good human food.
If, instead Of wallowing in stagnant pools
of mud and mire, they had access to run
ming stream of pure water, they would
soon prefer the water to the mire, and thus
keep themselves clean, preventing the for
nation of scrofulous tissue in their flesh.
The method of feeding pigs in some of our
Western pork establishments is simply
horrible. The pigs are placed in pens, ar
ranged in parallel rows or tiers. The
animals in the first row, being in poor con-
uition; are fed with good grain; the food
of the pigs in the second row is made up
Of mixture Of the excrements from the
first row and corn; this mixture of corn and
excrements goes on in regular order until
the last is reached, where the excrements
dominate the corn. The process, on a
smaller scale, is the popular method of
feeding the hog with most farmers. How
is it possible for such feeding to make
he slth1 flesh for human food?"
Morris tribune., 1881-08-18

they will go by, and both become recon-
ciled. The man will be nobler and
larger for being associated with SO much
humanity unlike himself. and she will
be a nobler woman for having manhood
beside her that seeks to correct her def
ciences and supply her with what she lacks,
if the diversity be not too great, and if
there be real generosity and love in their
hearts to begin with. The old bridegroom
having a much shorter journey to make,
must associate himself with one like him
self. A perfect and complete marriage is,
perhaps, as rare as perfect personal beau
ty. Men and women are married fraction
ally; now small fraction then larger
fraction. Very few are married totally, and
then only, think, after some forty or fifty
years of gradual approach and experiment.
Such large and sweet fruit is complete
marriage that it needs very long summer
to rlpen in, and then long winter to mel
low and season. But a real happy marriage
of love and Judgment between noble
man and woman is one of the things 50 very
handsome that if the sun were, as the
Greek poets tabled god, he might stop
the world to feast his eyes with such
spectacle,
