The Buffalo Herds.

1t is feared that the band of buffalo on
the great Sioux reservation will be an
initiated this winter. Prairie fires
have been set by the hunters and the
herd is being. driven slowly before the
flames and toward the settlements.
where they will be slaughtered in
wholesale numbers. So far as reported
the northern herd has not yet crossed
the Missouri, and so far this year buffalo
hunters in Montana have had no work
in their favorite line. Indeed it is use
less to disguise the fact that these mon
sters OF the plains are disappearing with
marvellous rapidity. Whether the herds
are seeking new grazing grounds remote
ron too frequent signs OF civilized nan
or whether they are actually vanishing
from ~he ace O. the earth, a very little
time will tell. Probably the latter is the
case. Senator Vest said to Charles, the
o~bstreperous chief OF ne Flatheads,
"there are no more plains" and he was
very near the truth. The wild II dian

RESERVOIR LOT CONTRACTS.

Question of Legal Construction With Re
sp1ct to Interest on Them.
When the purchasers Of lots on the old
reservoir grounds signed their contracts,
which are printed in large type, they
promised and agreed to comply with all
the conditions Of sale, among which are
the following:
TERMS. The purchaser is required to
pay fire per centUm Of the purchase
money in cash; forty per centum at ninety
days from the day Of sale, and the residue
thereof one year thereafter. The de-
ferred payments shall bear interest to be
computed after the rate Of six per centum
per annum, and be secured by bond and
mortgage These conditions are sub
stantally those prescribed by the ordi-
nance authorizing the Gale Of the lots.
The forty per centum the first deferred
payment, was due on Saturday, and the
City Treasurer notified the purchasers, as
they called that interest was also due.
The CITY Treasurer had previously con
ferred with the Controller and that officer
50 construed the contract. Subse-
uuently the Controller called upon
the City Solicitor and there seemed
to be no difference Of opinion
between them; but as the purchasers ap-
pear not to have realized until now what
their contracts were, and are dissatisfied
with them, he suggested that the Coun-
ellis be asked to express their sense Of the
proper construction of the terms Of sale,
and to this proposition the Controller
readily asscntcd A TELEGRAPH rc-
porter was informed to-day that at the
conference between the Controller and
Solicitor there were present Two OF the
purchasers and one or more members Of
Councils. A bad tempered article in an
evening paper was shown to the City So
licitor, and after reading il he said |
have not been officially asked for my
opinion Tho Controllers opinion, how
ever, | fully concur in. Because a pur
chaser was not called On to give bond
and mortgage for one Of the deferred
payments will not excuse him
from paying interest if he has
contracted to pay it. This question Of
interest involves about $500. If the City
Councils are over-anxious TO be liberal
and sacrifice the money | am not in the
way. The Controller is the officer that
watches such matters. To talk If mis-
representation in such question as this
only impeaches the intelligence Of every
man who bought lot and signed con
tract printed in large type. think they
could all read. III any of them could not
he should have asked the chairman or
some member Of the committee in charge
to read it to him before he signed it. If
he failed to do So he ought not to com

HARRISBURG, Dec. 81, 1885.
To the Inspectors DGuphin County Prison.
GENTLEMEN: Herewith is my annual report
and record of diseases treated i'll the DaI-
phin county prison for the year just closing.
1t will be seen that the sum total OF cases
amounts to three hundred and seventy
eight. The number of visits made was two
hundred and forty-seven, of which seven
were night visits. With the exception prob.
ably of some of the bronchial affections all
the other diseases originated outside OF the
prison walls.
There are various suggestions arising,
which, could they be carried out, would
greatly tend to an improvement in the Sani-
tary condition of the prison, but at this time,
when there is being a heavy outlay by the
County Commissioners in the reconstruction
Of the almshouse, the present condition OF
affairs must continue.
Two deaths occurred during the year-both
from disease of the heart-one having been
brought to the prison in mortbund condi-
tion-the other in almost similar situation,
if we may judge from previous history OF
the case.
1t may be here stated that the health
of the prisont rs who are convicts has bean
unusually good, most Of the sickness being
confined to those committed Tor trlal, or 10
yaglants. OF the latter class, nine-tenths
are aEing, while one-half of other admis
sions reqEire treatment, As usual there
are number of epiepdcs, These poor I'M
fortunates, it IL to be hoped, will hereafter
be taken to the almshouse instead OF being
committed TO prison. The latter lhat'tu'

We tried an experiment some years
since to test the effect of absence
of light on calf. We had two red
calves of the same age (sixty days)
one weighing $50 pounds and the
other 1872 pounds. The latter we
placed in a dark room. with trough
that could be filled by aspout through
a partition. The other was confined
in the same amount of space, but in
full light, and both were fed exactly
alike fol the next three months. The
object was to test the effect of light
upon such growing animal. AT the
end Of the time the one in the light
weighed 40 pounds, and the one in
the dark weighed $50 pounds and its
color had faded to a very pale, dirty
red. It's eyes we're so much affected
when admitted to the light that itkept
them closed most of the time for the
first week or two The two calves
were kept on together, but the one
from the dark room never fully re-
covered from this three months Of
darkness. It never recovered its
bright red color, although the color
improved. ANY one who noted these
two calves during this experiment
would never after doubt the impolicy
of dark stables.-LiDe Stock Journal.
