A simple and Painless Method OF be-
horning Calves.

A writer in stock journal says in
the genus bos the horn proper rs hol-
low appendage Of the skin. La very
young calf this appepdage is merely a
matrix OF the future horn. At the age
OF ten or fifteen days this matrix Is a
small, hairless, movable prominence.
This matrix, together with small
band of true hairy skin, one-eighth OF
an inch wide, can be removed by one
sweep of strong, sharp pocket knife,
aud forever after the animal will be
hornless.
Throw the calf, on it's side, let an as
sistant press the side OF the head firmly
against the earth. Let the operator
now grasp the matrix between the
thumb and two fingerstof the lett hand,
place the edge of a sharp knife ONE
eighth of an inch outside of the naked
matrix, and, with firm, steady pressure
cut through to the opposite side, the
knife passing between the base OF the
matrix and the skull, so that rim OF
hairy skin one-eighth of an inch wide
remains attached to the base OF the
matrix now amputatsd and held in the
left hand. Turn the calf on the other
side, and in like manner remove the
other matrix.
This simple operation is said to cause
very little pain and loss of blood. The
calf is not injured, does not lose its
appetite, and the wounds heal quickly.
The advantages,aresshs cattle mature
earlier, grow larger, and never injure
each other.

ness and blood.
After the collapse of the govern
ment of the Confederate States of
America, Judge Perkins retired to
Mexico, from whence he soon went to
Europe, where he remained for several
years When he returned to the United
States few years since, he returned
with greatly impaired health, the sight
OF one eye gone, and once princely
fortune reduced to moderate
competency. The disease which
destroyed the sight of one eye soon
attacked the other. and for several
years he has been totally blind, envel-
oped in utter darkness.
Judge Perkins was distinguished
for many winning and noble qualities,
and his career through life
was marked by the purest pa
triotism, the loftiest integrity.

and petty, love of all that
was pure, ennobling and beautiful,

Shot In the Back.

About o'clock yesterday evening
as Mr.. William Roberts was returning
to the Refuge Mill, from dinner, when
near the mill he was shot, and 1t is
feared fatally wounded by some one
unknown to the unfortunate man.
The shot was fired from the bushes on
the rode side where the assassin was
concealed. Roberts was hit in the left
side, near the spine which it struck
The wound is considered extremely
dangerous. Roberts was taken to the
residence of Mr.. Dave Kennedy, on
Pearl street. Mr.. Roberts states that
he has not the slightest idea who
committed the dastardly deed, as he
has had no difficulty with any person,
