A Dog over Niagara Falls.
Special to New York Sun.

The village was thrown into unusual excitement to-day by the adventures of a large dog. He was first noticed while he was within the influence of the upper rapids. As he whirled rapidly down over the falls no one imagined but that that was the last of him. Shortly after ward, however, he was discovered in the gorge below the falls vainly endeavoring to chamber up upon some of the debris from the remains of the great ice bridge which recently covered the water at this point, but which had nearly all gone down the river. The news spread rapid ly through the village, and large crowd gathered on the shore. Strenuous efforts were made to get the struggling animal on shore, for an animal which had gone safely over the falls would be a prize worth having, but without success. Finally the dog succeeded in getting up- on large cake sof ice and floated off on it down toward Suspension Bridge and the terrible whirlpool rapids. h. formation of the dogs coming was tele- phOned to Suspension Bridge village, and large crowd collected on the bridge to watch for the coming wonder In due time the poor fellow appeared upon his ice cake, bowling dismally the while,  as if he appreciated the terrors of his situation. An express train crossing the bridge at the time stopped in order to let the passengers witness the unusual spectacle. Round and round whirled the cake, in dizzy way, and louder and more prolonged grew the howls of the poor dog. As the influence of the whirl- pool rapids began to be felt the cake in creased in speed, whirled suddenly into the air, broke iu two, and the dog disap- peared from view. No one thought that he could possibly survive the wild rush through the rapids. When, therefore, word WAS received that the dog was in the whirlpool, still living, and once more struggling yainly to swim to land, it was received with marked incredulity. This story was substantiated, however, by several trustworthy witnesses. It seems incredible that an animal could 90 through the gorge, through the whirl pool rapids, and into the whirlpool it self, distance of several miles, and still be alive.

WHEN George Washington Brown was a young man, his father procured him a situation in a dry goods store. One day a lady came to his counter to purchase a piece of dress goods. "ls it all wool?" she asked. Madame" replied George, proudly, his breast heaving with emo- ton, q cannot tell a lie. It is half cot ton" His employer, who overheard the answer, exclaimed, Young man, rush to the coat room and get your overcoat. l would rather have thousand liars in my establishment than one young man without the least idea of the first princi- ples Of business"

TIE Homan's Journal says: "A funny story is told of Belva Lockwood, the female lawyer of Washington. A witty fellow was once her opposing counsel, and when he desired to refer to the Hon. Belva was perplexed. He couldn't say my brother as he did when speak ing of the lawyers who wore pants. He didn't like to say my sister, out of re- spect to that expression. He sent a smile over the room by referring to Belva as my sister.in-law,' but she cer- tainly looked daggers at him."

They failed to bring their tickets, and when the conductor asked for their tickets they rendered in money the price of the excursion fare. The conductor demanded Of them the regular fare, which was considerably more than the price of the excursion tickets. They refused to pay it and were put off the train, and had to foot their way five miles to Richmond. They instituted suit immediately. The jury allowed each of the gentlemen $l75 damages.

TIE breed of Russian horses known as Orlofs are much esteemed in Eng land now as carriage horses. They have clean heads, wide nostrils, and bright eyes, and show high breeding, no doubt an Arabic cross. The horses have more weight than the English, and are mostly dapple grays and blacks. Mir. William C. Winans, the American millionaire, residing at Brighton, bought seven pairs of these horses at great prices, and in the drive from there to London passed all goers.

Stock Raising.

Following is paper read by Joseph
Hart at the farmers convention held at
Marshall, January 18th, 1882. MIR.
Harris opinions are valuable, as he is a
careful and successful experimenter IN
all his farm operation.
In opening the subject of stock rails
ing, which should be practical, | shall
endeavor to show whatever The breed
or pedigree the feeding and care will
form an important element of success ;
for, rest assured, that it is not IN the
power of animal nature to make some
thing out Of nothing; and, notwith,
standing plants attract quite portion
of nourishment from the air, the bo--
vine cannot. 1t is a well established
fact, believe, that the celebrated Dur
hams were made what they are by
good feed and a judicious selection of
the fittest Cor the purpose required.
Also, that the small breeds of cattle OF
the mountainous parts of the word
demonstrate another phase OF the
same principle. ! think to obtain the
best results sufficient food with good
care should begin with the embryo, and
continue without intermission until the
object is obtained.
/ am not positive Of the time of age
when a steer will gain the most from
a given amount of food, but believe
he should be ready for market az two
years of age, and before he shed his
first teeth. At that age he ought 70
weigh from twelve to fourteen hundred

Wedding in Utah Marriage of a Daugh.
ter OF Brigham Young to Mr. J. u.
Salt Lake utah Herald

| Salt Lake (Utah) Herald.
| At $50 o'clock Thursday morning,
Mr.. J, d. Spencer and Miss Clarissa
Young were married, the ceremony be-
ing performed by President Joseph F.
Smith. If ever there was union
which all circumstances seem to APP
prove, and which meets with the APP
probation Of all friends ard acquaint-
ances, then this is such union. For
years the young couple have been de-
| voted to each other, and an ultimate
marriage has been settled conviction
with those who knew them. Mr. Spen-
Ger is a young man of decided ability
we'll known to the puplic as men,
Der of the Home Dramatic Club---ex-
amplary, popular. and to whom the
future should appear in her most in
wiling garb. Miss Young is the daughter
of the late President Young; she is a
lady of whom numerous friends have
more than passing appreciation, who
is popular, and who possesses those
qualities which a sensible young man
would desire in the lady OF his choice
and with whom it is his ardent wish to
pass a long and useful career.
Last evening reception was held
at the house of the brides mother, Mrs.
Lucy d. Young 1t was a splendid af-
fair, OF which it would he useless to at
tempt description. From an early
hour the parlors were thronged with
aged, middle-aged, and young relatives
and friends of the family. Many were
the expressions of admiration concern
ing the handsome couple, and each
new compliment was received by the
listeners with increasing favor as they
became merrier from the excellent
table spread for the qualification Of
their guests. The many, the nurner-
Gus, and most elegant and costly pres
ents we're the object of unbounded ad-
miration. Through the entire evening
compliments and congratulations were
offered to the envied Mr.. Spencer and
his blooming bride, no more sincere
than those now extended by the Herald,
but Of all the compliments and con-
CALCULATIONS extended from truthful lips
and moved to utterance by happy
hearts-none were more deeply felt,
or modestly yet plainly manifested,
than those evidenced by the bride and
groom at the possession OF each others
love and confidence.

pounds. Perhaps some may say they
can not do this, then my advice is, join
the grange, and send your sons to the
agricultural college, and, occasionally
meet your neighbors in convention
similar to this of to-day, and talk of
cattle raising until you become con-
WINGED that the great secret of success
after vow obtain good stock---is care
and feed.
But as 1t has fallen to me at this time
to make the first suggestion, / offer the
following: The COW to be healthy and
weigh not less than twelve hundred
pounds, and not over Ten years of age;
ought to be dry sixty or ninety days
before calving, and well fed. After the
calf is dropped, let it suck few days;
after that do the best you can for it,
acc srding to your opportunities, but
whatever way you feed it, see that it
gains at least one and three fourths
pounds per day, live weight until it is
two years old, each pound of which
will be worth as much as the price of
the animal when sold. l leave the
more minute details to be drawn out in
discussion.
| offer for your consideration that
the summer is the best time to make
beef, and clover pasture the best feed,
but there must be plenty of it all the
time or the deficiency must be made
good, which may be corn fodder grown
for that purpose during the season.
But an exclusive clover pasture has its
disadvantages in the tendency of cattle
to bloat while feeding thereon during
the growing season which must be pro-
vided for.
think an acre of clover can reason
ably be expected to keep a COW five
months, or steer between one and
two years of age the same length of
time, and the latter ought to gain three
hundred pounds, worth, at present, in
Marshall four cents per pound if fat,
which think he would be if cared for
as have mentioned. The COW should
give during the same time thirty-seven
hundred pounds of milk, which, at
eighty-seven cents per hundred pounds
about the average price paid at the
Marshall cheese factory the past sum-
mer), would be 1919.
So far as my experience goes, one
half to three-fourths Durham are the
most profitable for beef, and / am sup
posing that the successful raiser has
them. My best milking COW is one
fourth Attorney, one half Durham and
one-fourth native. A calf of hers,
sired by three-fourths Durham, WAS
weighed on the 2lst day of last Dec
ember, being then twenty-five months
old, and tipped the beam at eleven
hundred and ten pounds, she also hav-
ing signs of good mixer: Were l to
recommend breeding for gen
eral purposes it would be one-eight
Attorney one-half to two-thirds Dur
nam and the other part the best i
could obtain.

City, in defiance of an alleged judicial
decision that Millbank WAS designated

ly two county commissioners tried to
remove the records to Millbank, sup
ported by two to three hundred citi-
zens, but similar force at Big Stone

to remove the safe. They have bar

A Whole Forest of Stone Trees

From twenty to thirty.fve miles
from Denver, between Cherry Creek
and Running Geek, the Denver & New
Orleans Railroad forces struck an I'M
usual obstruction, it being nothing less
than buried forest. The trees are
petrifed and agatized, are all Of a size,
and lie buried at various depths from
ter to twenty feet, which is as deep as
any excavation made by the workmen.
They came upon these relics of a
bygone age in at least half dozen To-
calites, and have met with not little
difficulty on their account. The trees
are very perfect and could be taken out
nearly whole If suitable machinery
was employed.

Dairy uOttingS.

No animal on the farm pays better
for good keeping than the COW.
Cows purchased from rich lands sell
dom DO well on poor soils.
One COW, well fed, will produce as
much milk as two carelessly treated
the former will be Kept at profit, the
latter at a loss.
The best economy is to keep COWS il,
such manner as to make them give
the greatest quantity of milk with the
greatest profit.
Carrots and other roots cause cows to
give milk in abundance and Of a good
quality.
One kind of forage, even the best, may
not furnish in suitable proportions all the
elements necessary to produce the best
milk; therefore, give a large variety of
food, but guard well against anything
that will faint the milk or butter.
Pure water at regular intervals is es-
sential to the best results.
Cows which are near calving should
be fed with substantial food and lodged
in some clean, warm apartment by
themselves; let their drink be luke
warm for day or two after calving.
Great mixers pay rs they go, but
seldom carry much flesh on their
bones. 1t is not good policy to allow a
COW to lose single pound of flesh; it
costs money, and will cost more to re-
place it.
Cows seldom yield their milk kindly
to person who is not gentle with
them.
Cleanliness in the dairy is sometimes
classed among the cardinal virtues -
