acres OF land raised !, ,515 bushels OF oa's.
The supreme court is busily engaged in de-
Gliding the cases which have been argued and
submitted, and expects to clt ar the docket by
the first of the year.
NJ V. Austin found near Forgus Falls the
remains of young Norwegian woman named
Peterson. who wandered from the home Of
Mr. Smith, in Western, last summer:
Edward Carey of WiEona claims that he was
Knocked down by unknown parties, who took
his money and then threw him into the river
He admits he had been drinking, but was not
drunk.
Mr.. Peterson of Norway Lake says = few
days ago an unknown lnaa rode by his house
on horseback, and going short distance, he
alighted, shot the horse, killing it almost in-
stantly, and then taking the saddle and bride,
went his way.

can then also be Immediately started
again without injury, for travelling on
Immediately after drinking prevents this
When brought home from drive, if
the horse Is hot or much fatigued, let
him drink three or four quarts of tepid
water, but not be allowed to eat any
thing till he has stood in his stall from q
half to full hour, or sometimes more,
and well rested; then he may be given
four quarts more water and some hay.
After eating a little of this, he should
have his ration of grain, and short time
after eating this he may drink all the
water he desires, which will not be much
after the frequent previous waterings.
In all cases see that the water is not
over-cold, such as comes from deep well
or close gushing spring.
If horse, in returning to his stable
after hot drive is Immediately allowed
to drink as much cold water as he
Graves, or if permitted to stand in water
or very muddy place, he will be pretty
certain to get foundered, which will
greatly injure him for work through life,
and perhaps render him utterly worth
less.
When horse is put up, unless rather
hot, don't allow him to be placed in a
draft Opposite doors and windows must
be closed to prevent this. If the weather
be cool, blanket him till his coat has
dried and he has become cool The
blanket may then be taken off, and the
horse rubbed down and dressed clean.

Finding Your Way in the Woods.

Always follow path in preference to
taking short cut through the woods.
A short cut is always the longest" If
a path is lost, it is in general better to
spend considerable time in hunting for it
than to try to do without it, or run the
risk of striking it farther on. When
walking without path the following
axioms should be remembered call
ridges lead to the summit All streams
lead to civilization" The best guide in
the woods is ones shadow, remembering
that the sun is constantly moving to-
wards the west. One should never start
out into the woods without compass
and watch. A card-compass, one-half
black, and the other half white, to render
it visible in the evening, is the best form.
If one is travelling through the woods
without path on cloudy day, and has
no compass, the best way is to fix ones
eyes on a distant tree, and then walk
straight toward it. Before long, more
distant one in the same direction will
come in sight; then, keeping the first one
in line, walk towards the second, and SO
on. Most people have tendency to-
ward the left,-the explanation being,
that the right side of the body is the
strongest, and so outwalks the left. If
belated at night, where birch-trees are
plentiful, party can gather enough of
the outer bark as they pass along to keep
a torch constantly burning to light them
on their way.-F5on1 Guide to the MT.

THE GOLD INDUSTRY
of this county is assuming large proper
tons and utilities a very large capital
and gives employment to number OF
laborers. Brain, capital, and muscle
combined are bringing to the front re-
suits never before dreamed Of The
Morrow mine, which was sold thirty five
years ago to an English company for
100000 cash, has awaked.to a new life,
under the judicious management of its
able and skilfull superintendent, Mr.. ].
S. Morrow. 1t is now owned by north
ern company, and is valued at $25O,O0O
Mr.. Morrow has recently tunnelled
across the old vein, which it seems had
been lost sight of for some years, and the
output is simply splendid. This old
vein is six feet or more thick and is very
rich in gold, yielding some $50 to 300
to the ton of ore raised. Even Califor-
MIA, in its palmiest regions, can hardly
do better. Other mines are succeeding
this summer far beyond their former
yield; and this has become one of our
fixed industries.
SLATE QUARRIES.
The slate quarries are of great value
and furnish slate of the best quality for
all the surrounding country and the
cities Of Richmond, Lynchburg, Danville
Farmville, &c. A steady and quiet in
dustry it is, but of great value, as the
slate is very superior.
sAssAFRAs OIL.
This is one of the smaller industries,
but it foots up surprisingly. There are
sixty distilleries in the county, and they
use up 10000 pounds of root per day
and make sixty gallons of oil on an aver
age per day, which is sold now at the
lowest price, 45 cents per pound, or
$3.50 per gallon, which is $27O daily,
and foe the year of 26O days equals an in
come of $4,000.
SUMAC
is next in order, and is gathered in July
and August. The amount gathered by
the women and children in the county is
about 100000 pounds, and at so cents
per hundred is So, 800
TAN BARK AND LUMBER.
These furnish employment to so large
force, and are SO extended over the
whole county, that no approximate es-
innate can be made of their value.
THE CROPS.
The wheat crop is all gathered in, and
many farmers have threshed. The Weld
Of grain is fine, and of good quality.
Corn IS looking green and thrifty, and
with good seasons in August will make
the finest crop enjoyed for years. The
tobacco is standing we'll and fair crop
set out. 1t is all free from grass and
growing rapidly.-THe Industrial South.

Feeding, Watering, and Driving Horse.

e.
There are hundreds, perhaps we may
say thousands, of persons in our towns
and cities, who go into the country for
few days, weeks, or even months, in the
summer seasons, who know little or moth
ing about the proper manner of feeding
watering, and driving horse; and vet
are often DESTROYS, and sometimes are
Obliged to perform this duty. In under
taking 1t, owing to their ignorance of
such matters, they frequently greatly in
Jure their horse, and occasionally cause
It's death. 1t Is for such persons we give
below few brief hints as to general
management, which if closely followed,
Will save them doing injury, and perhaps
mourning a considerable loss; causing
chem much pain instead of pleasure in
the use of horse.
we shall not now describe the varie
ties OF food proper to be given to the ami
mai, Tor this alone would require a long
article, and shall simply say that what,
ever this Is, the ration at night should
be twice as large as in the morning or at
noon. The horse then has plenty Of time
during the night to digest his food and
give him strength for his work dnring

1t Is very hot weather, and in this case

slow gait. A horse of good spirit feels
very gay when first taken out of his sta-
bic, particularly if he has been standino

necessary to restrain him, as on a full

The report current, a few days ago, tina
criminal suits we're to be brought against
the directors of the Pacific Bank, is denied
by Comptroller Knox, who says there is no
expectation that such suits will be brought.
He saws that the most that can be done is to
bring civil suits IN damages, and 1t is not
clear whether those will lie. 1t had been
hoped that this law point would have been
settled in the case Of the Newark Bank, but
the directors paid up before the suits were
prosecuted to a conclusion. Ii is probable
that civil suits will be brought against the
Pacific directors, as they viii be against the
Buffalo Bank just failed. The comptroller
scarcely sees what point is to be gained by
attacking Needham.

From the tone of the newspapers publish
ed in the eastern portion Of this Congression>
al district, it appears the contest between tho
respective friends of Hon. Daniel Il. Lucas
and Hon. Jno. Blair Hogc, as to which one
of them shall be nominated for Congress- ct
tho approaching Congressional Convention, is
waxing warm. The friends of Mr.. Lucas
claim that the valuable services rendered tho
party by him heretofore, and his eminent
ability and fitness for the position merit re-
cogn'tion; and further, that in consequence
of an understanding between them, or their
friends, at the Fairmont Convention, in July
1880, that Judge Hoge should not now stand
in the way of Mr.. Lucas nomination The
friends of Lucas are numerous, strong and
Jealous, and from the best information we
have on the subject, it looks as if he would
carry off the prize. II SO, tho voters of this
district will have presented to them the name
of a gentleman of high character, strict in
tcgrity and great ability
