The B. so. COntractOrs' Troubles

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany has paid to the creditors of the late
firm of Drissbach s. Wilcox, the contrac
tors who have created so much trouble
in North East and vicinity, seventy seven
cents Oh the dollar for bills contracted
in September, this being pro rata dis
tributiou of the balance due the defunct
firm by the company. The majority of
the poor Italian laborers lose heavily, as
they do not come in under this arrang-
ment. The creditors swear vengeance
against the defaulting contractors, aud
pretty nearly as deeply against the COM
pary. as many of them claim to have
given credit to the former on the endorse
ment of the company, thinking it per-
iectly safe, as in the event of the failure
of the contractors they expected to be
made whole by the railroad company.
This however has so far proven to be an
idle fancy and all of them are now out OF
pocket number to the extent of six or
eight hundred dollars, after the II cents
ON the dollar is received.
Greater excitement has been created in
business circles in the usually quiet town
of North East by this failure than by any
event for many day, as almost every
business man in the place was involved,
as we'll as many farmers in the vicinity
What the outcome will be cannot now
he foretold, but if the declaration of en-.
dorsement of Drcisbach & Wilcox as
made by the creditors is true, the com.
pany is surely bound for the remainder
of the firms Indebtedness.

Counting q Billion Dollars.

turned over the books of his Office to q
committee Of three, who at once began To
verify the records of the treasurer by an
actual count OF sl,OO0,00O This
taSk is not 80 easy AZ would appear at
first blush. One billion dollars is an
immense sum and entirely confounds the
imagination. If the sum were counted
dollar by dollar, at the rate of two hun.
dred dollars minute, it would take ten
years to complete the task. But the
committee entrusted with The enormous
responsibility are we'll qualified for the
work, and many clerks will be employed
in counting. The work will, therefore.
probably be completed within the pres.

falls into three divisions: The cash in
the treasury. which amounts to about
$500, 100000; the surplus reserve fund,
or treasury notes received from the Bu.
reau Of Printing and Engraving, and
held to furnish banks and sub .treasuries
on demand, which amounts to between
S2UO .U0O, 900 and 100000, 600; and the
bonds held by the treasury to secure the
circulation of national banks, amounting
to @400, 100000. The counters began
with the loose change. As soon an the
treasury closed on Saturday, dozen
lady clerks began the count, to see If the
actual cash corresponded to the represen-
tations on the books. This counting Ia
tedious, and took some time, for It in.
cluded gold, silver, pickels, cnpreis, and
broken money of every denomination.
The next step was to count the packages

counting was done in the manner that a
bank teller counts packages of bills. If
the count had not agreed with the record,
the packages would have had to be
recounted, but no such mistake occurred.

Milk Cows Failing to Breed.
Spdrtanburg Spartan.

Perhaps all who are interested are
astonished at the number of cows now
failing to breed all over the country.
Butchers are now getting very consider
able number Of our best common COWS as
we'll as some thoroughbred ones that have
failed to breed. This is owing partly to
the Inconvenience of sending them to the
bull. and partly owing to desire to con-
tinue milking the cows without allowing
them to breed. This quality in a COW
woa!d be very desirable if it were natu.
raj !; but as it is not natural there is but
few COWS that will milk longer than
three or four months without showing a
desire to breed, and if they are not bred
at this period, the effort of the system is
to store up the flesh, which is detrimen-
tai to her breeding. Otherwise, if they
are bred, the systems natural effort is to
support the Jstus in embryo. If the COW
in the latter condition be fed on green.
succulent food, or bran, or other milk
producing food, and be kindly and intel.
ligently handled, she will continue to
give a paying quantity of milk for Mt
least six months longer, and sometimes
quite up to the time of calving; though
1t is advisable to dry off the cow gradu.
dtty one month or six weeks before calv-
ing. In heavy persistent mixers it is
sometimes very difficult to dry them off
without risk of injury, and continue her
regular food in such cases az this there
is but one assistance-take away her
feed. Heifers approaching their frat
| calviDg should be very highly fed on
milk and bone food, such as wheat bran,
oats, roots or, good green pasture. Just
