FEW days ago We gave the particulars
Of terrible outrage perpetrated on a
druggist of Corning, o., by the name of
McDavitt, who had had some difficulty
with a Catholic priest of that place named
O'Boylan. McDavitt was taken from his
store by an armed party OF men. who
marched him outside of the town some
distance, and then compelling him to
divest himself Of his clothes made him
make oath TO go away and never return.
Fortunately he survived the fearful bliz-
zard prevailing at the time and has re-
turned to his home to prosecute all con-
cerned in the cowsrdly proceedings. On
the heels Of this crime there comes to rs
the account OF another more fearful from
New London, Conn, to the effect that
gray-haired old man of East Lynne, for a
trivial otfense, had handcuff forged for
his sons wrist, and manacled him with a
chain to cows horn. He then drove
the COW and boy to the bleak hillside and
left them together all day in the face of a
cutting winter gale. At night he drove
both into his rickety barn, where the
cold wind blew through the crevices, and
forced the boy to spend the night there,
shackled to the COW, the warmth OF the
animal communicated TO the boy alone
keeping him from freezing to death. The
boy body was found TO be black and blue
from beatlngs. Several other less severe
cases are reported. f. d. Thrall, agent of
the State Humane Society, of the same
place, also found a family consisting of
man, wife and five children, the latter
ranging from seven to thirteen wears of
age, the father beastly and the children
helplessly drunk, one, child of eleven,
being in the last stages of delirtum trsmens.

A RAGE FOR FANCY FOWL.

There is lively demand for thor oughbred fowl. Dealers are doing an unusually large business in eggs for matching. The better varieties bring from $50 to $4 per setting of thir- teen eggs. In exceptional cases as high as $2O per setting has been paid. Fancy.bred cockerals and biddies com mand correspondingly high prices in sets. Just now Wyandottes are the rage. Fine specimens of fancy fowl range in value from $l0 to $100 per trio. The best are produced in Massa- chusetts, Connecticut and this state.
 Samuel J. Tilden is one of the most extensive amateur breeders of fancy barnyard fowl. He has all varieties of turkeys, chickens, geese, ducks, etc. His collection embraces about three hundred chickens, it is said. He has named one little bantam, who is par. ticularly pugnacious, John Kelly. William Fl Vanderbilt is q new buy.. CT. His most noteworthy purchase was at the last chicken show, at which he paid S75 for pair of white-crested black Polands from Ohio. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher will talk chickens for hours at time. His favorite breeds are the Leghorns, and he buys as many as 400 and 800 eggs in batch for matching in the incubators on his farm up the Hudson.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

TRAVEL IN NEW YORK CITY.

The enormous growth of travel on city railways in New York;. especially since the construction of elevated rail roads, is little short of marvellous. In 1858, with population of 515,547, the two lines of railway then in the city carried 6,S35,43 passengers. Two years later this number was almost trebled. In 1865 the population had grown to 726, 6,SS6, the city was fairly supplied with street railways, and they carried over S0,00O,OOO passengers in year. The population had reached 100000 in 1875, and the number of passengers by rail within the city linn. its had doubled in the decade. In 1878 elevated railroads began to make their influence felt. The horse, or surface, railways in that year carried 160,952,- S32 passengers, and the elevated rail roads 9,236,670 In 1883 the number carried on the elevated roads was ten times as great, and there had also been an increase in the number of passen- gers on surface roads to 176,625, ,434. The grand total of both systems was 26S, 749,877, an increase of more than a hundred millions in six years! It youSt hn remembere6 too that in New York some millions more travel by carriages and the old-fashioned omni- bus lines, which still do a good busi- ness. It is believed, however, that the accommodation for travel are still in- sufficient, and these figures have in fact been compiled to show the need of an underground railway down Broadway, where trains can be run at high speed and at short intervals.

The earl of Aylesford exclaimed to reporter in New York the other day: What in thunder do the newspapers want of ne? Cant fellow move about without being captured by re- porters? Do I look like Jumbo, a sacred white elephant or an improved specimen of the American dude? Newspapers are curse, anyway. They have ruined America and are running England. Please let me go." The earl is Just from his ranch, near Big Springs, Texas. In London once he was good deal of dandy, but now he wears a slouch hat and looks like very genteel cowboy. He is going back to Texas in little while.
 What do I thing of America?' he added.
 "Why, sir, it's the greatest country in the world-the greatest of all lands, sir. It is, indeed, the land of the free and the home of the brave. Look at Texas! Yes, sir, look at Texas!"

For twenty-six years work has been progressing on the Mormon temple, at Salt Lake City, and the main walls are just being finished. It is built of granite, which is hauled from the mountains back of Salt Lake on great wagons or trucks with heels 12 feet high. It has cost up to thls time $4,500,0O0, which has been collected by the tithing tax. It will require six years more to finish the work. Prob- ably no other church building in the United States has been constructed in in a way to secure durability as is possible to this. Some of those who predict the early ruin of the Mormon hierarchy are wondering what use they can make of this temple.

The Demand for Horses.


A prominent auctioneer states that
the sales this year have been fully
twenty per cent. larger than last year,
despite the fact that general business
has teen so quiet. The demand for
horses Is increas ng every year, and, as
the supply does not appear to increase
in the same proportion, prices'are rdn-
nlng higher. and this year range from
fifteen to twenty five per cent. higher
than last year. The main demand is
for COOL reading horses. those having
good size, style and action. A reasona-
Bile degree o speed is looked for, horses
being expected to road ten miles an
hour easily. Great speed is not a Gus
tomary desideratum, but is rarely OBJ
jected to. Boston Commercial Bulletin.
