OF one of the largest churches In the city,
$50 feet in hight, fell with an awful crush
to the ground. In one part of the city a
fire WAS caused by the shock. II is i'm
possible to estimate the amount OF
damage, but it is known to be great.

Speaking of summer sales of cattle in
England, a London letter writer says:
Average prices of short horns have not
been high, and if it had not been for q
few extreme prices given for represen-
tatives of certain fashionable strains
there would have been a very low level
all round. 1t Is about the end of what
has been happily if rudely termed the
"Shorthorn humbug," by which is
meant the fashion of giving absurdly
high prices for mere pedigree, apart
from excellence. The numerous gem
tlemen who have gone in for fancy
breeding have nearly all burnt their fin
gers pretty smartly, and there appears
to be a general disposition just now to
"stand from under" the whole business.
Foreign buyers have very kindly come
to the rescue and helped out the men
who have lost quite enough as it is.
Still the rank and file of the animals at
recent sales have realized very little
more than the price of ordinary store
cattle. There is % a hope of con-
Quoting shorthorn breeding on rational
business principles, apart from fashion
able fad and gambling speculation.
The Herefords, on the other hand, are
quite the rage, and there is some dan
ger of the extravaganza departing from
the shorthorn fancy being taken up by
Hereford breeders. In South America
and Australia, as well as In the United
States, the Hereford is rapidly gaining
ground. Hitherto the breed has well
preserved its excellence a. a beef-pro-
ducing breed, and it is to be hoped that
it will not be ruined 10y pedigree fan
ciers.
