SELLING IMPROPER MEAT.

On Wednesday of last week, John White,
a licensed butcher, who lives about five
miles from town, on the Charlotte road was
arraigned before the town council charg-
ed with having sold in this market beef un-
fit to be eaten. The facts as charged are to
the effect that he had a COW tied out to
Craze, and while thus tied out it became en-
tangled in the rope, causing its death. Sew
eral hours after it is supposed to have died,
he discovered theanimal andprepared itfor
market. A witness, who was present when
thecow was dressed, testified thatitwasswol-
len, and gave other testimony pertaining to
the affair which justified the town council in
revoking Whites license and imposing upon
him a fine of ten dollars. He refused TO pay
the tine whereupon the council reported the
case to Trial Justice McCaW, who, at their
instance, issued warrant for the arrest of
White. He has not yet been arrested.

From the Washington Republican.
Last Wednesday night seven COW boys went
into a cabin on Colorado rancho, locked the
door, blew out the kerosene lamp, and began
an indiscriminate firing with navy revolvers on
each other. Five Of them "bit" the floor and
the remaining two ''vamoosed the rancho"
These are the men whom the Hon. Thomas
Ochiltree, in a somewhat recent interview, de-
scribed as the "brave chevaliers Of the chap
aual." . more appropriate title would be
the "bad bull heaters of the bush"

Total number of possible hands 2,5gs,0dO
/, will be seen that those who devised the
rules for poker play set the different hands in
very proper order. II is fitting, for instance,
that as there are only 30 possible flush
sequence hands, out Of total number
Of 2, SOS, goo bands, while there are GA flour"
hands, the flush sequences should come first,
and so with the rest 1t is noteworthy, how
ever that when sequences were not counted,
as was the rule in former times, there was
one hand absolutely unique and unconquera-
able. The holder of four aces then wagered
on a certainty, for no one else could hold that
hand. At present there is no absolutely sure
winning hand. The holder Of ace,
king, queen, knave, ten, flush,
may Though it is Of course exceedingly unlike
Ivy be met by the holder Of the same cards,
flush in another suit. Or when we remember
that at whist it has happened that the deal
divided the four suits among the four players,
to each complete suit, we see that four play
ers at poker might each receive flush Sc
quence headed by the ace. Thus the use Of
sequences has saved poker players from the
possible risk of having either to stand out or
wager on certainty, which last would Of
course be very painful to the feelings of pro-
fessional gambler.

THE American Journal Of Forestry records
an instance Of handsome profits received for

valley, in Nebraska, aud planted with black
walnuts, by Colonel Van. He gave ST. rs
per acre for the land and after it was hand
somely covered with a dense growth Of thrifty
black walnuts, 10 years old, he sold the 10
acres for $1,000. The time will certainly come
when all this lumber will be wanted at an adj
vanced and handsome price, and there is
nothing for which there will be more extern
sive demand than the best large second
growth selected timber. Judging from the
way in which our native forests are disappear
ing the market will not be glutted.

THE Kyle Nutshell published an item few
weeks ago telling Of the success of Messrs.
Kyle and Nance and others in that vicinity in
raising carp, in which it was stated that the
FISH could be easily and cheaply raised. Mr..
l.. Jones, Of Russell, Iowa, contributes to the
Homestead the following on the same subject:
"on the 18th day Of last April placed in
small pond, Is feet in diameter, three German
carp five inches long that had been wintered
in the house, and were consequently in very
poor condition. The 24th day of August
drew off the water to see my little FISH, aad
found they were IL inches in length, and
would weigh from pound to pound and
half Their principal food during the time
they were in the pond was sheaf oats. On
the last day ofApril, 1883, procured from
the United States Fish Commissioner 20
small German leather carp, varying from an
inch and half to two inches and a half in
length. These were placed in pond Of about
one-foarth Of an acre in extent and eight feet
deep. They are as large now, If not larger,
than those in the smaller pond. Think Of il ?
A growth Of ten inches in less than three
months on a seant diet Of sheaf oats. have
now commenced feeding them regularly on
scraps from the table, such as cold potatoes,
boiled corn, baked beans, etc. When the
scraps are thrown into the water the 6sh fight
over them like pigs They will have two
months yet to grow before winter, when they
will push themselves among the ferns on the
bottom Of the pond, and lie dormant until
spring. believe in 10 years every farmer
will have his carp pond to raise fish for his
own table"
