That wool which in the hands of the

lambs OF the flock, which commonly

ready cash from the sale OF lambs. Again,
our farmers pay too little attention to the

You may settle upon the richest lands OF Eastern

crops OF grain you may look with swelling of
pride upon your golden acres you may count up
your thousands of bushels of the plumpest wheat

this great monopoly can take Just as much of your
crop as they please. You have no recourse You
may cry out against the injustice and the extor-
ton but what will it avail Doubtless they will
leave you enough for subsistence but it re-
mains to be seen whether they will help you TO
grow rich as you tondy hoped

however It may fare with the hard working farmer
Now don't know that they have or will establish
exorbitantly high freight tariffs but 90 know
that even now they are charging eight dollars per
ton to transport wheat from Eastern Oregon and

reward the farmer for his toil-nothing with which
to lay the foundation of the longed for competence
Perhaps there will be better rates in the immedi

Preferring Death to Liberty.

THE st. Vincent de Paul Penitentiarv
here has in it number of defaulters of
good families undergoing terms of from
two to seven years. Among them are
Jean Satem Paquette, ex-cashier of the
Hochelaga Bank, and Alexis Tourville,
ex-book-keeper to q merchant. Their
terms expire soon. As the time for
Paquette's release approached he be-
came moody, and at last refused to
touch food. He persisted in his refusal
for several days. Yesterday morning,
under the influence of threats that nour-
ishment would be forced into him by
violence, he began to eat again.
To-day Paquette heard feeble groans
proceeding from Tourville's cell, which
adjoins his. He called one of the
guardians, who found Tourville living in
pool of blood, his throat horribly
gashed. He had tried to kill himself by
means of broken glass from small mir
'ror he had been permitted to have in
his cell. Physicians were summoned
and the wounds were sewed up, but his
recovery is very doubtful. It's thought
that he dreaded the idea of living to
meet his friends again, particularly the
lady to whom he had been engaged. -

A Bovine ss Bendef."

IT is an uncommon sight to see a
drove of cows intoxicated, and on a jolly
spree. Yet the cows on Mr.. S. B. Dol
sons dairy farm, near Warwick, N. Y,
have had such a spree. A few DAYS
ago Mr.. Dolson's COWS were pasturing
in lot adjoining the apple orchard. at
night they broke down the fences and,
of course, ate until they were full, in
fact, intoxicated. The actions of the
animals, as described by witnesses, were
ludicrous in the extreme. They stag
gered and reeled about, paved the
ground, and pulled and snorted like
locomotives. Several battles with
heads and horns took place, but none
were seriously injured. After a short
trial at ground and lofty tumbling, the
cows returned to eating apples, and
then followed another spirited and
amusing performance. This was kept
up for some time until the bystanders
interfered. A curious result of the over
indulgence in the fruit was that it short
ened the drove's yield of milk very
much. Not more than one-eighth of the
usual amount was produced after the
cows had their spree.-Cor. Nev YORK.
