Demand for Cows.

That there is a scarcity of cows in this
country is plain. Prices have been going
higher for some time, and the demand
is sharp. There is no immediate pros
pect that lower prices will rule very
soon. The increasing consumption OF
dairy products at home and abroad, is
one thing that keeps prices high. Be-
sides, there is a stronger demand in towns
and cities for good milch cows than has
been known heretofore. A larger num-
Der of persons whose means admit of
keeping a COW for their own use, prefer
doing so than to pay for milk largely
diluted with water. An exchange pub
lished west of us says that butchers have
nearly as much trouble to get stock as
the dealers, and have TO pay steadily
stiffening high prices. The shipments
to Europe and the immensely increased
demand for meat in our own country
will shortly divert the attention of
farmers in the Mississippi Valley more
exclusively to the production OF beef
and mutton, and less to wheat. Our
dairymen will have to manage their
COWS better, and get more milk from
smaller number until they can raise
some of their own, a thing they will be
obliged to do for economic reasons.
Farmers will have to study up and
apply the methods of business men in
| their business.-Prairie-F

Too Much Of a Smell.

Bone meal or the modern fertilizer,
called Phosphates," is no doubt excel
lent in its effect on vegetable or cereal
growth, but as neighborhood perfume,
free to all, it is unwholesome and contain.
mates the air perceptibly, horribly and
unwholesomely Many of our citizens
in the neighborhood Justly complain of
the practice of storing this freight so
near the passenger depot, and where
people in many homes and places OF
business must breathe the stencil there
from. No one would be asked to sub
init to having carrion as steady thing
at their front doors, but this litter of
bonedust smells so like one that there
is no choice between them. Now, when
the general conditions of the climate
are particularly unfavorable to health,
and there is much disposition to fevers
and malarial diseases that often origin
ate in bad air, there should be, instead of
indifference, vigilance and close heed
to all that involves the health Of our
people. 1t is no small thing to have an
unequal contest with prostrating and
dangerous disease, continued for weeks
and months, and know that purity of
atmosphere, one of the conditions of re-
covery, is beyond your control. 1t is of no
use to claim that there is no smell worthy
the name of nuisance. Very often doors
and windows in the direction Of the de-
pot have to be closed when otherwise il
would be most agreeable to have them
open.

Rescued from Death.

The following statement of WilliamJ.

remarkable that we beg to ask for 1t the
attension of our readers. He says: I'm

severe cough. 1 soon began to lose my
appetite and flesh. / was so weak at
one time that could not leave my bed.

to the City Hospital. While there the
doctors said had hole in my left lung

a hundred dollars in doctors and medi-
cines. was so far gone at one time
report went around that was dead. L
gave up hope, but a friend told me of
DIR. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs.
1 laughed at my friends, thinking that
my case was incurable, but got bot
tie to satisfy them, when to my sur
psise and qualification, 1 commenced to
feel better. My hope, once dead, began
to revive, and to-day 1 feel better spirit
ed than have the past three years.
''I write this hoping you will publish
it, so that every one afflicted with Di-
seased Lunge will be induced to take
DIR. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption can

and can positively say that it has done
more good than all the other medicines

President Hayes and Secretary Sherman
bore official witness to the purity of his acts
while in office. A petition for his retention
was signed by every Judge Of every Court In
the city, by all the prominent members OF
the bar, and by nearly every importing
merchant in the collection district; but this
General Arthur himself suppressed.
In letter to Secretary Sherman, review
ing the work of one of the investigating
committees, General Arthur produced sta
tistics to show that during his term OF over
six years in Office the percentage Of removals
was only two and three-fourths. against an
annual average of twenty-eight per cent.
under three immediate predecessors, and an
annual average of about twenty-four per
cent. since 1857. OF the 923 persons in Of
fee prior to his appointment, 531 were still
retained on May /, 1877. All appointments,
except two, to the 100 positions command

the plan of advancing men from the lower
to the higher grades on the recommenda-

methods of doing business in the Gus

President Arthur.

General Chester A. Arthur was born in
Franklin County, Vermont, October 8, 1880.
He is the oldest of family of two sons and
five daughters. His father was the Rev.
DR.. william Arthur, a Baptist clergyman,
who emigrated to this country from the
County Antrim, Ireland, in his eighteenth
year, and died October q, 1875, in Newton
Vile, near Albany. DIR. Arthur was In
many respects a remarkable man. He ac-
quired extended fame, not only in his cali
ing, but also in the domains Of authorship.
His work on family names is regarded the
world over as one of the curiosities of En-
glish erudite literature. From 1855 to 1858
he was pastor Of the Calvary Baptist Church
of New York City. He also filed the pulpits
of Baptist churches at Bennington. Hines
burg, Fairfield and Williston, in Vermont,
and York, Perry, Greenwich, Schenectady,
Lansingburg, Hoosic, West Troy and New
tonyille, in New York State. His other son
made gallant record in the war of the re-
bellion, and is now paymaster Of the regu-
lar army with the rank of Major.
General Arthur was educated at Union
College, and was graduated in the class OF
1S49. After leaving college he taught a
country school during two years in Ver-
mont, and then, having managed by rigid

Trap For Sheep-Killing Dogs.

The Lynchburg Virginian describes
an ingenious trap devised by a Virgi-
mia farmer to capture sheep-klling dogs.
Having suffered severely from the dep
relations of dogs upon his sheep-fold,
he built around a number of sheep that
dogs had killed an inclosure of rail
twelve feet high, and about ten feet
square at the ground, the sides sloping
inward until an opening was left about
five feet square. Any dog could easily
climb such a fence and enter the pen,
but not even a greyhound could jump
out of it. In three nights the farmer
captured forty-six dogs, including fif-
teen or twenty that had never been
seen before in that neighborhood. This
after there had been public slaughter
of all dogs suspected of sheep-killing
save one, whose master could not be
convinced of his guilt. The trap was
built for his especial benefit, and 1t
caught him the first night.

What a Spider Did.

A very curious and interesting spec
tacle was to be seen Monday afternoon
in the Office of a livery stable In this
city. Against the wall of the room
stands tolerably tall desk, and under
this a small spider, not larger than
common pea, had constructed an ex-
tensiveSweb reaching down to the floor.
About 11:30 o'clock Monday forenoon
it was observed that the spider had en-.
shared a young mouse by passing fla
ments of her web around its tail. When
first seen the mouse had its hind feet on
the floor and could barely touch the
floor with its fore feet. The spider was
full of business, running up and down
the line, occasionally biting the mouse's
tail, making it struggle desperately.
Its efforts to escape were unavailing, as
the slender filaments about its tail were
time it was seen that the spider was
slowly hosting its victim into the air.
By two o'clock in the afternoon the
mouse could barely touch the floor with
its fore feet; by dark the point of its
nose was an inch above the floor. At
nine o'clock at night the mouse was
still alive, but made no sign except when
the spider descended and bit its tail.
At this time it was an inch and q half
from the floor. Yesterday morning the
mouse was dead and hung three inches
from the floor.
The news of the novel sight soon be-
came circulated, and hundreds of peo-
die visited the stable to witness it The
mouse is a small one, probably less
than half grown, measuring about one
and half inches from the point of its
nose to the root of the tail. How the
spider succeeded in ensnaring it is not
known. The mechanical ingenuity of
the spider, which enables her to raise
body which must weigh forty or fifty
times as much as herself, has been the
subject of great deal of comment and
speculation, and no satisfactory solution
of the difficulty has been found. All
agree that it is q most remarkable case,
and one that would be received with
| utter incfedulity if it were not so amply
attested. Lebanon (Ky.) Standard. =

What Does it Signify2

Intelligence received from the War
ner Observatory, Rochester, n. Y,
announces the discovery of new comet
located in the constellation of Virgo. 1t
is striking coincidence that this new
and bright comet appeared at the same
hour President Garfield was breathing
his last. 1t was first seen by Z. K.
Barnard in Nashville, Tenn, who has
Warner prize of 5000 in gold. This
makes the fifth comet seen since May
first, and of this number four have ap-
peared from almost the same spot in the
