doing finely on the range. The boys haye

We are informed that the directors Of the
! two agricultural associations OF this county
have agreed upon . basis of consolidation.
A general meeting Of the stockholders has
been called for the purpose Of submitting the
scheme agreed upon by the directors and
asking its ratification. Ofthe wisdom Of the
move there Is not the shadow OF doubt.
Two societies in one county is without sense
or reason, entirely preposterous, and was
never demanded by the people at large, who
have, outside Of the partisans Of each direc-
tory, tried to discourage the efforts to keep
up two organizations As far AZ the people
OF the county, outside Of the stockholders,
are concerned. they would rather both soci-
cites should die THAI attempt to keep both
alive. With the energies evinced by both
societies directed to the upbuilding Of one,
Sedgwick county would have the grandest
annual fairs OF any county in the State.
Then, by all means, let us have consolida-
ton upon some basis. See notice elsewhere

Last week mention was made OF strange
and fatal maiady among the hogs of Mr. w.
+. Green, who lost fourteen very fine ami
mails within short time. He informs us that
he believes he will lose his entire herd. worth
several hundred dollars, large proportion
OF them having been fed since last August
Further inquiry develops the fact that other
lots of hogs in the vicinity have been attack
ed in the same manner. Hennesey, Eich
holtz and Carothers all have hogs affected in
like manner. A high fever is perceptible, the
throat and breast becoming very red and
heated. The animal becomes limp aud
drowsy in motion, and his fleesh fabby loose
and bloodiesss, SO that a knife run into a
carcass will show scarcely any trace Of blood
stain The disease is a serious one, and
should be diagnosed and the proper remedy
applied soon. or the amount of loss to the
county will be heavy.

One of the saddest events Of the week was
the death Of Mrs. Celestial Piper, wife of j.
z. Piper, and only sister Of ". A and
Frank Thomas. She died on Sabbath morn
ing, leaving family of little and motherless
children, and little babe that will never
know a mothers love or care. Mrs. Piper
was bright, sweet little woman, ever look
ing upon the hsppy phases of life, healthy
and hopeful, and her death seems painfully
strange. Her husband, who has been absent
in the mountains, was telegraphed for, and
reached home last week. The husband, chill
dren and friends have the heart sympathies
of all.
