Fine Cattle.

Mr.. 4. Van Hauten, of Oakland, Bor-
gen county, n, j., has sent to Palatka
two fine Jerseys, a fifteen months old
bull, Jersey Darling" and five year
old COW, Sea Foam" that has record
of three pounds Of butter per day. These
Jerseys are from the registered herd of
Darling & Rogers, and are of the finest
stock in America. They were sent by
steamer to Charleston and arrived in
Palatlsa Sunday night per steamer City
of PalatBa'. They will be sent out to
the lands belonging to Mr.. Van Hauten,
situated about seven miles from Palatka,
consisting of a tfact of some sixteen
thousand acres. which is to be made into
an extensive stock range, and will be
stocked with the finest blOOded cattle.
The two sent are but the pioneers of hun
dreds of others that VIII be brought here
if, after trial, it is demonstrated that
they viii thrive in this climate. Wire is
now on the way to fence in six thousand
acres of the tract, and as soon as the
fence is up other cattle of different breeds
will be sent down and given a fair test
with the jerseys.
This is an important movement for
Florida. If these fine breeds of cattle
WI thrive as well as the native cattle
the state opens a large field for stock
raising, and the industry will prove
equally as profitable as orange culture.

A Novel and Dangerous Plan.

A few nights since, gentleman resi-
ding in the Hammock, before retiring lit
a piece of cloth and placed it near the
side of his bed, thinking that the smoke
arising from the burning cloth would
keep the mosquitoes from attacking his
body. In this he was successful. So fully
satisfied was he with the workings of his
experiment that he soon fell into sweet
slumbPr, but later on he was suddenly
reused and found that the entire bed was
on fire, and that he was about to be de-
voured by the frey element. He speedily
extinguished the FLAMES, but not any too
soon to prevent the building from being
consumed. This is not a new, but is
rather a dangerous experiment, The
gentleman will doubtless purchase a
mosquitoe bar and enjoy securely, from
the dangers of fire and the attacks Of
mosquitoes, during his sIumbers.

Ended His Life.

A Bed-Rtdden Invaltd And . Fatal
 Pistol Wound.
 Peter Mead aged about thirty-sevsn years, an invalid who has been residing at Charlea Keeler's in Ridgebury for number of years past, deliberately shot himself Wednesday morning and died g short time after. He has been bed-ridden for some time, and at times has become very Respondent, although the family had no thought that he would harm himself. Noticing him moving his trunk lid, and knowing that he was bed-rid- den, his landlady suspected mischief, and discovered that he had pistol in his hand. She, much alarmed, asked him what he meant to do. He said, 'sShoot myself. am sick of living and want to die." She rushed out doors to call her husband, and upon their return they found that Mead had carried out his threat, having placed the pistol to his chest and fired the fatal shot. Being in c semi-conscious state with the blood oozing from the wound, messenger was sent for Dr. W. F. Lacey. The unfortu- nate man was beyond all hopes of recovery when the doctor arrived. The deceased was a brother of Mrs. KeeIer. The pistol with which the deed was committed has bsen in Mead's possession some time, he having ta- ken it away from a highwayman who at- tempted to shoot and rob him some ten years aeo.
