More Tramps Arrested.

Saturday morning last Constable
Johnson arrested, at the Water Sta
ton, Oakland, five tramps, on a tele-
gram from Altamont, signed by a
man named Maxwell. They were
taken before Squire Gender. who
committed them for hearing. No
person appearing to make an infor-
nation, they were set at liberty
Tuesday evening. They gave their
names as William Scott, Thomas e.
Lewis, Robert Jamison, Lydia Bax-
ter and Sarah Jamison. The two
last named were dressed in mems
clothes but were recognized as wo
men, they having been in Jail here
two years ago. The party sending
the dispatch requesting their arrest
is severely criticised for not appear
ing and making an information, as
their arrest and detention subjected
the county to considerable expense.

Horses for Practical Purposes.

ltrue the horses are larger and stronger than
formerly. The era when lightweight horses
we're most popular has passed, and probably

[ears grown more prosperous Is due to
OSer calculations in the line of minor
economies. On most farms four good strong,
well-fed horses, will do the work of five,
and often of six No doubt in time steam
power will more largely take the place of
horse and manual labor than now. Steam
lthrashers have almost entirely superseded
Nthe old-time horsepower machines. But
until steam is more generally
used. the change in the means for
conducting farm labor will be in having
Viewer and more powerful horses. Weight is
