appearance of the Virgin Mary in house in
First street. Eight women and five men as
sert that they saw the apparition. 1t appeared
beneath the picture of the Virgin Mary and
the angels which hang on wall. Superstiti
Gus persons are visiting the house and carry.

Quigley scouts the miracle theory, and others
say the illusion is caused by sunlight dancing
on the wall.
A gentleman who lately visited the New
Jersey state prison, said Cashier Baldwin, who
had robbed the Mechanics bank of million,
who has been assigned to duty in the library,
presented an extraordinary appearance in his
prison garb-a sort of cross between that of
harlequin and clown. He deeply felt his
position, but was becoming resigned to it.
Hedden, the First National bank cashier, was
quite reconciled, and was found to be an adept
in dispensing tea to the convicts in the invalid
department. Hedden and Degget, the Eliza

During the session of 1855, when the Iowa

his father, A. 7. Shinn, who prayed, and that

An Ancient City.

The discovery of deserted city,
sixty miles long. cut out OF the face of
a winding cliff rewarded the efforts of
tho Stephenson Smithsonian Institute
exploring party, during its researches
through New Mexico and Arizona, the
past season. This is by far the most
important find yet made among the an
Client haunts OF the cliff dwellers. Some
of the houses contain four and five
dwellings, one on top Of the other, and
on the plateau above the cliff vera
found many ruins Of temples of wor-
ship, built of well-cnt, square stones.
a comparison Of the collection of pot
terry and of various implements gath
cred in the cliff houses by the explor-
ing party with those obtained in the Pu-
eblo villages strengthens the theory
that the Pueblo Indians are the dogen-
crate descendants of the once very
powerful race that built the ruined cit
les of the plains, and then receding be-
fore some more warlike foe, carved out
those singular dwellings on the walls of
dizzy precipices, and found in them, il
may be for centuries, both fortresses and
homes, Perhaps the hieroglyphic de-
scriptions seen by Mr. Stephenson will
one day DO deoiphered and found to
contain the tragic history of the vast
ing away by wars and famines OF this
Inflated people, who, like the comics of
the Bible, made tho rocks their refuge.

A Wonderful Cow.
which Produces sOo Pound, Of nuitter In one
Year.

Which Produces sou Pounds Of butter In one
Year.
A correspondent of the People and
Patriot NH gives the following in
teresting history of the famous COW,
Jersey Queen of Barnet" He says:
"She comes from the herd imported by
h. T. Fairbanks & Co., and purchased
when only few days old, together with
her mother, by ID. Harvey, of Peacham,
VT She WIS sold when nine months
old to farmer of that town for $50.
In six months from that time she was pur-
chased by Asa Hoyt, cooper of the
same place. Mr.. Hoyt owned her for
several years. He is very careful,
painstakil 6 man, and did not own any
other COW. The last year that she was
in his possession he kept an attentive
account of all the butter aud milk
which the Queen produced. At the
end OF the Year he found that she had
made 746 pounds of butter. Many
were incredulous, notwithstanding the
excellent reputation of Mr.. Hoyt. In
1870, however, the COW was resold to
Josiah S. Kenerson, of Barnet, VT, for
$40. Mr. Kenerson is well known
throughout New England rs the able
agent for Bradley's phosphate. He
christened her the Jersey Queen, and
put her into careful hands. When she
came in in the spring of 1881, he had
an accurate account kept her milk and
butter. She has already produced be-
tween 800 and 600 pounds of butter,
and unless she fails entirely at the
end of the year her record will pass 800
pounds. The trial began the first part
of last May, and in one hundred days
from the time commencing the yield
was ii03 pounds of milk, averaging
A OF pounds per day, and from which
POL pounds and g ounces of butter were
made. This would be fraction over
p pounds per day, and one pound OF
butter for ~ pounds of milk. Mr..
Kenerson has Iust sold the queen" to
A. b. Darling, proprietor of the Fifth
Avenue hotel, of New York, for 81 600
cash. AIr. Darling now owns the two
best cows in the world" Eurotas' whose
record is $50 pounds OF butter in one
year, and the Jersey Queen" whose
record will probably pass 800 pounds.
As some may be curious to know the
amount of extra feed given the COW,
here IL is. Two quarts each OF shorts
and ground oats, and three pints each
of corn meal, twice a day, making
eleven quarts of the mixture in all.
She had besides one peck of carrots in
their season, and of course the best of
hay and grass that could be afforded.
This does not appear to be over feeding
for a mature COW weighing l075pounds,
and producing the amount OF butter
credited to her. The COW is of good
size for this breed, straight and hand
some in form, shading in color from
black to fawn interpreted with white;
has yellowish skin, good shaped I'D
der aud teats, and very large milk veins.
She appears to be in good healthy
condition, but not fat, and seems to
bear well her feed and the drain made
upon her system in the production of
so much milk and butter. II is to be
hoped that she will come Of first best
in the now progressing trial, and that
in consequence Vermont can be cred
tied with the largest amount of butter
ever make from one COW in year in
the United States.
