esntamn~e of She Pnrr Ridge Gold and
silver Mining Company

The ApvocaTg has always had misgivings
concerning the success Of the Parr Ridge Gold
and Silver Mining Company. Il never be-
iiered that gold existed IN paying quantities -
that secsien--eertainly never believed the
outcome would rival the gold of California in
quality and quantity, as the Manchester papsz
exgltinglv proclaimed. That part We we're
satisfied Was bubble that woal d soon burst
We had no desire, however, 70 throw obsia-
cles IN the way OF testing the ores and would
have reioieed If the experiment bad demon
strated that il would have been moe erately
remuneratiye 70 work them. Consequently
the ADVOCATE has said but little on the sub
ieet-only chrnnicled facts as they traRspired.
Some of the gold dust has been assafed AZ
The Philadelphia mint, and the report showed
that II would be improbable % work the ores.
After receiving the report the Board Of Man
ayers met and passed the following resolu-
tons.

Report on the Condition Of Cattle.

CHIcAeo, NAY 4.--The Droces JeaT''aF ;
annual report frem the ranchlag regions Of
America shows the outlook fsr Western cattle
growers 10 be exceedingly tiaiiering. The
general average loss of cattle during the WIN
Ter Was four per cent. against nine per cent.
during the winter Of lsSo-si. In the chief
cattle growing sections the loss does NOT ex-
cecd three per cent. The general eonaiton
of cattle on the range Is reported twenty per
cent. better than az the corresponding time IN
average wears. The Southwest shipments
this wear will exceed last years by faily ten
per cent. Texas will send ut least twenty per
cent more. Gratifying progress has been
made in the introduction of improved blood,
and the breeders af fine stock are enjoying a
b:g boom. Ry reason Of the extraordinary
Western demand for bnlls, there are more
buyers than selleR on the range, and prices
average 81. - per head higher than last year
There is no disease anywhere, except few
scattering cases of so-ealled black leg. The
calf crop is the largest known for years.

College Notes.

The Philomathean Society, of Western Ma
ryland College, gave its first entertainment to
a large and appreciative audience, in the Gol-
lege Chanel, on Friday evening, May .. lhe
programme, which was in itself attractive,
was carried ont with promptness that ehcited
the most complimentary comments and called
forth much we'll lI-deserved and otten-repeated
applause. The exercises were inaugurated
with splendidly rendered chorus, Inc
Flower GathererS, by the members OF me
Society. who were beeomingly attIred IN whlte,
with profasion of flowers. Upon the CON
clusion of the singing the President, MISS
Emma Abbott, of Annapolis, Md, stepped
gracefully forward, and in very apropos and
elegant address introduced the new association
to the public; explained its formation and It's
purposes: cordially welcomed those present TO
Its first entertainment, and by her well-chosen
and excellentlv expressed sentiments gave the
Society a good start on the current OF pubhe
favor. A humorous selection from Max Ad-
eler was read by Miss Laura j. Bishop IN a
manner that greatly excited the risiblhties OF
the audience. 4 very pretty instrumental
piece, ''May Day Waltz, was next pertorIleu
bv Miss Minnie Jarman and Miss Katie hoe,
and following this was an essay by Miss May
Meredith. who took for her subject the motto
of the Society, ''Vestigia Nulla Retrorsnm
(no steps baekwardl, and filed 1t with some
verv appropriate thoughts, which she Illus
trated by numerous examples from ancient
and modern history. Maud Muller was next
treated in tableau, Miss Katie Roe represent
ing the rustic maiden, artlessly standing with
a rake aslant her shoulder amidst the new
mown hay. After repetition had been called
for and given. Misses Emma Abbott and Julia
Newman won an encore by very sweet vocal
duet, which they sang exceptionally well
The recitation by Miss Gertie Bratt, The
LADY of the Castle, was done in a clear tone
of voice, with excellent modulation and grace
full gestures; and the piano solo by Miss Clay
ton showed a finished musical touch, which
was duly appreciated by the audience. The
second part Of the programme was occupied
with a pleasing play, entitled The Peasant
Oaeen.f The scene was laid in France, ana
while the plot could not claim special orlgl-
inality. vet it was free from all objections,
and as cheerful, pure and pleasant as sum,
mer morning. The characters were all well
sustained, numerous evidences OF superior
talent being given; but where all did so well
it would be matter of partiality to parhcu
larize. and we can but reflect the verdict OF
the audience and proclaim it most pronoan'
ced success in every particular. The caste

Late reports from Louisiana indicate that
the cane which was covered by the floods is
not SO much injured as there was reason to
fear that it would be. This is accounted for
by the low temperature at the time of the
floods, which retarded the growth of the young
cane instead of rotting and killing it. In the
regions which escaped inundation the pros
peets for large crop of sugar are favorable.

have been very favorable to the crop pros

almost uniformity cheering. The crop reports
from forty-one townships in Iowa eentring

DThe crop indications for this and the adjoin-

fallen; the chinch bugs have done very little
harm, and have been generally exterminated
