The River

The river presented an appearance of a
general thaw this morning. The snow
which covered the ice up to yesterday has
melted away, dissolviug in water. Water
to the depth of over two inches covers
the ice, which has compelled the hackmen
to desist from crossing on the ice, and
they are now using the bridge. One of
the hackmen remarked to an ARGUS re-
porter this morning that the hackmen
were through using the ice bridge this
year, and he was glad Of it, for now as he
went by way of the bridge he charged his
passengers twenty five cents trip.

a Flnnd.

If the weather remains warm a serious
food may be looked for. The ground is
still frozen, and all the snow that has
melted into water has run into the river.
Reports from the north are to the effect
that general thaw is incident, and to be
prepared to sec the river on big spree in a
few days. The river has risen over four
feet today, and is still rising, at least SO
say the boys at the waterworks.

Those persons who insist that animals
are but organized bundles of appetite,
with no trace of sentiment in them, and
no brain from which sentiment can en-
mate, are not deep observers of facts that
present themselves to the eye every day,
and which must convince those who are
capable of reading the book of nature,
that animals have the soul element in
them and manifest it plainly. An Incl
dent bearing out this line of reasoning
recently occurred in our neighboring
town Of Bureau Mr. Robert Quigley.

wife and baby daughter who has seen
her sixth month, On Thursday evening,
February 81, about o'clock in the even
ing, Mrs. Qugley had the child on her
lap, and the latter was in high glec
for child of such age, laughing and
kicking as only baby can, when the
mothers attention was drawn to the
window for only an instant During
which time the house cat quick as a
flash. sprang upon the baby's face,
fastening its teeth, across the nose, with
its fore claws on the head and hind feet on
the breast Mrs. Quigley was shocked
and almost stunned at the nature of the
attack, and with considerable difficulty
extricated the little sufferer, which she
could only do by choking the cat with all
her strength. A physician was summoned
who, upon examination, discovered that
the lens of one eye was destroyed, the
fangs of the other jaw having just missed
destroying the other eye also. The little
one is doing nicely, but will go through
life with the use of one eye only The
cat was highly sensible Maltese, a great
pet in the house before the baby came,
and all its actions indicate that the green
eyed monster, jealousy, was the prompt
ing cause, The baby had unusually
bright eyes, and the cat struck at them
with directness and precision which is
alarming in this land of babies and cats.

POULTRY AS A FOOD SUP
PIN.

Comparatively few people have an
adequate conception Of the magnitude
of the poultry interest in this country.
or the amount Of capital invested in the
business outside Of the millions Of dol
lars represented by the stock scattered
all over the country from California to
Msine, in farmers barnyards, in town
lots. and in city alleys. Poaltry-keep-
ing has yielded perceptibly to those in.
Auences which are at work in all legiti.
mate industries in the country, and
from an insignificant trade, is becoming
one Of the great productive industries
Of the day, no longer remaining in the
hands Of women and children, but pros
eeuted systematically by men who in
vest all their time and money in il.
Poultry.keeping is eminently domes.
tic Industry, and capable of indefinite
extention, requiring as it does, only
small capital and limited space, and, as
. rule, it is claimed that the small
poultry.keepers do better, relatively,
than the large ones, as they give closer
attention to the health and comfort OF
their stock. A great deal is said about
the vast and rapidly increasing ship
ments Of beef and mutton to England,
and little about the export of dressed
poultry and eggs, and yet thousands Of
dollars worth of each are shipped to
Great Britain with satisfactory returns.
Go on with the poultry-raising. There
is no danger Of either poultry or eggs
for the table going out Of fashion; and
when poultry. men learn to produce eggs
at the season when they command the
highest price, as Western butter. makers
have already learned to do in the pro-
duction of hutter, raising eggs and
poultry for market in this State will
become a very profitable branch of in
dustry.
