How t0 Make an OX-YOke.

A yoke should, first of all, says
correspondent in the Neao England
Farmer, "be easy for the oxen, rid
ins we'll on their necks, and the yoke
that will fit one pair Of cattle to per-
lection will often be found to chate
and irritate another pair SO that they
can not put out halt their strength.
If you have pair Of cattle girthing
seven feet, and with very thick necks,
you want to make your yoke eleven
inches on the neck; ten inches will
be distance enough if the cattle have
thin necks. 1t should be twenty
four incnes between the bows, and
taken out on the top two inches;
make the breast eight inches deep.
To do this you will have to use a
stick of timber seven by ten inches.
The yoke wants to be seven inches
wide on the neck, and reduced to
five inches at the centre and ON the
ends, taking off equally from both
sides, and the corners carefully
rounded off and smoothed. A yoke
Of this size will need two inch bow
holes. The best wood tor the pur-
pose is good tough bit OF elm
which will not split or break, and II
made as ! have described it will hug
down on the neck just right. AT the
New England fair the other day

An Orange Lime.

Riverside Press
Hon. H. M. Streeter places on our
table a peculiar fruit that proves to
be hybrid orange-lime. 1t is the
size OF very large lime. 1t looks
some like a lemon, but the rind taste
like that OF an orange. The pulp
looks some like lime and some like
an orange. The taste OF the pulp is
that of a very sour orange, but with
not enough acid Tor lime. The fruit
was picked from lime tree, and is a
novelty. 1t is entirely unlike The in~
sipid Persian lime that is OF no earthly
use whatever.

RAILROAD ITEMS.

The improved weather of the past
week has given an impetus to the
work of construc ton on the differ
ent lines. The grading of the Nor
thern Pacific extending West from
town is being rapidly pushed to-
wards completion by Mr.. Rogers,
Contractor for MoDermid e Co.
Ten horses with thirty men consti-
tute the present force which if not
interrupted by..a repe tition of the
late unfavorablc weather will COM
plete this section in 4 afewwceks. The
three miles intervening between the
end of Mr.. Rogers contract and Po-
kegama is all comparatively light
work consisting principally o. filling
from six inches to two and three
feet. Owing to the heavy rains but
little progress has been made there
on. A week of good weather would
permit a large force to work so as to
complete the same in month. The
heavy grading anticipated at Po-
kegama will be greatly reduced
owing to the increased elevation of
the bridge and consequent lessening
of the depth of the two clay cut.
tinss on the East and West banks
ofthe stream A saving of several
thousand yards OF earth excavation
will be effected thereby. The con
struction of the bridge is now being
performed under the superinten-
dence o. Mr.. Heney of Detroit, a
gentleman of tried experience in
railroad bridge ouiliing. Abou. tif-
teen men are employed with hum
and he expects 10 complete the
bridge by the first OF November.
On the Omaha line about 800 men
are now employed ON the first sec
ton Of fifteen miles out from Supe-
rior. The most work done thus far
has been III clearing out the line aud
getting out bridge timber, but now
the graders are digging away. Mr..
Erickson late of Prince Aurthurs'
Landing has the largest contract
and the heaviest force At work. Mr..
Ed Lemay who some years ago
built piles at the entry, has the
bridge building in hand. On the
Air Line there is 100 men to work
cutting right away and building,
camps. They are employed princi-
pally on the sections OF the line
where the heaviest work will be
preparing for winter grading. The
Company have sub-lct ten miles
which will be entered upon by the
Contractors forthwith. Owing to the
almost impassable state of the roads
great difficulty is being had in for
warding supplies. For this reason
We do not look for very active oper
ations for some weeks.

The River, Last Night,

At an early hour, this morning, the
river presented a grand spectacle as it
swept by the wharf, completely tiIlingits
course from bank 10 bank. In spite of
the hour, many persons were to be seen
on the watch and special messengers
carried the latest news to watchers along
Main street. The boats beached by the
last breakup had their forces ready and
by and by the rise tloated them safely
off. The whariboat went off first and
now rests easily with her nose against
the platform of the Pan Handle station.
The Mallie Ragon and the new Bellare
packet are both safely ahoat and the
former had steam up TO be ready for an
emergency. The hideous masses OF ice
pi'el along the shore have entirely dis
appeared.
At 2:30A. N. the maks on the wharf
showed 80 feet and still rising rapidly!
The waters edge was creeping slowly
but surely to the Panhandle track, and
by the time this is read will have COW
cred it, il the rise continues as rapid 40
now. Reports from the Island state
that the back river has come over the
banks, and is now working north, and
at Caldwell's run the bottom is under
water. The flood is upon us, and the
worst is to come.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1881-02-11
The Flood Upon Us.

About midnight the river here seemed
to take sudden upward start, and rose
1T the rate OF about foot an hour. This
meant business, and the worst fears Of
the Main street merchants. who were
upon the watch, were realized. Most
of them had their forces ready, and a
scene OF night work was presented. In
the cellars along that and Water streets
much valuable property is stored, and
the labor OF removing it began. At the
hour of going to press, they are at work,
laboling away like beavers.
At 2 A. NJ. to-day the dispatches
from Pittsburgh only increase the
alarm. The river there showsa depth
OF % feet and rising rapidly. The Ale
gheny is booming upward and will
probably meet the Monongahela with
both rivers at a flood tide. Reports
from Oil City describe fearful scene
there. The gorge let so yesterday and
in the afternoon caught again, just be-
low the city. The flood from above.
checked bv the dam thus formed, swept
upon the city, completely inundating
it. Probably by this time, the gorge
has broken and the water is sweeping
down upon Pittsburgh.

Out the Creek.

The ebb OF the waters out the creek
has left things in a terrible condition.
Ice is piled up over the submerged fields
and bottoms, and will remain there un.
Ill warm weather. The damage done
was considerable and will entail much
loss. 1t will be some time vet before
the pike is in condition for travel.
Schenck's slaughter house, at Fulton,
has been propped and can be saved, and
the damage to the bridge is slight.
The break at the B. and o. depot
bridge is in the exact condition as de-
scribed. The nose OF the pier was I'M
dermined and the end sunk, splitting
the pier and dropping the east side OF
the bridge. 1t fell. about five feet and
has there remained. Nothing has yet
been done in the way OF repairing it, as
the water is too high TO think OF
trestling.
The Hempfield bridge was found to be
all right, and yesterday trains crossed it
as usual. The tenders were broken
somewhat, but that is the extent Of the
damage.

TALKING TEMPERANCE.
The Mass Meeting at the Fourth Street
Church, Last Night.

Churcn, Last n 1ght.
The mass meeting at the Fourth Street
NJ. E. Church last night, was extern
sively advertised, and this fact, in add.
ton to that of the fame Of Dr. George P.
Hayes, Of Washington, drew a large
audience thither. The room was com.
pletely filed and the class rooms and
hall were equally we'll packed. A large
proportion OF the audience was ladies,
but many OF the sterner sex were also
present, including number OF the State
SQlons.
The lecture room was quite hand
somely decorated with evergreen and
conspicuously forward was black.
board, upon which were drawn two
harps and the motto: praise We the
Lord"
The exercises opened with a feryent
PRAYER by Rev. j. d. Moffat, which was
followed by an excellent address by
Senator A. X. Barbee, who presided.
He had his speech in manuscript, and
the necessity OF reading it was the only
drawback to very interesting paper.
An enjoyable feature, at this juncture,
was vocal solo by Miss Mamie Britt,
admirably sung to an accompaniment
we'll played by Miss Annie Logan.
The attraction OF the evening was the
address by DR.. Hays, who was next in
PRODUCED and received With applause. He
deliqered speech OF over an hours
duration, but never once lost the atten-
ton OF his hearers. His language, man.
ner and illustrations were admirable for
al occasion like this and il is very evil
dent that he is no tyro at addressing
temperance meeting.
He began with noticing the attach
ment western Pennsylvania and our
State and the interest manifested toward
the latter by the former and got into an
eloquent eulogy upon the natural
wealth layished upon our little noun
tain State. From our mineral wealth
be proceeded by easy stages to the labor
necessary to develop it and this natural
" brought him to the subject OF moral
ity and temperance among our people.
He presumed, he said, he was address
ing many members OF the Legislature,
and, il not, then their constituents.
which was all the same. For LEGISLATORS
had vast regard for their dear people.
He then proceeded to argue the right OF
the Legislature TO pass prohibltory
amendment, usingthe illustration: In
town near his own, had been
number of animal pens
and it being found they were
a nuisance, the law was invoked and
they were removed. How much more
OF nuisance then was the saloon? For
he would rather have pig sty next
door to him than sloon.
1t is not our purpose here to follow
him through the course Of his speech.
1t was replete with eloQuence and illus
tration, and the audience was dismissed
! in the best of humor with it.

MORE FOREIGN INSURANCE.
The Matter Again Before the House Com
mittee.


mittee.
The foreign insurance agent tax COM
plication came up again yesterday morn
inv, before the House Committee on
Counties, Districts and Municipal cor
porations. twas again thoroughly dis.
cussed and the same will take place this
morning.
Col. Robt. White appeared for the in.
surance men and Counsellor Alfred
Caldwell for those who desire the i'm.
posing OF the tax. Arguments were
made pro and con at some length
and were taken under cor
sideration by the committee. The
former based his argument principally
upon two points: First, that the present
law gives the city the right to assess an
unlimited tax; second, such policy
would have tendency to freeze out the
foreign companies, and thus lessen the
State revenue at least So 1000. Mr.. Csld-
well replied, urging the necessity OF
protection, by the city, against wild
cat" companies, and also that it was the
only method OF taxing the business done
in the city by these foreign companies,
thus placing them upon an equality
with other business.
Various members OF this committee
expressed their views to a REGISTER re-
porter yesterday, and it appears to be al
most certain that the committee will
offer bill either modifying or repeal
ing the present law.
