we copy the following from the Grant
County HERALD of February u, 1855:
There was quite stir among the GU
rious of our village last Monday, by an
extraordinary circumstance, and the
evidence of the fact itself, by the exhib-
ition of the deadly implements used in
a singular conflict. 1t appears that
short time ago Mr.. johnson Mckenzie.
of this town, had business calling him
OF the lumber region at the haadwaters
of the Kickapoo River, about eigty miles
north OF this place. While there on
the 2Sth of last month, he was told by
a young man named McMaster that two
deers had been discovered near the
house, with their horns locked together
from fighting, and were unable 10 dis
engage themselves. Mr.. Mckenzie on
learning this singular fact, proceeded
to the place with his jack-knife in his
hand, and after discovering them in this
curious predicament, followed them
about four miles. He was very much
surprised at the speed with which they
travelled, il being almost impossible for
him to keep sight of them only at short
intervals. At last, in rising a hill on
which there was strong growth of
underbrush, they of course got tangled,
and by this means he succeeded in
reaching them. Having no implement of
destruction with him but his knife. and
not caring about getting too near their
heads, he proceeded to cut their ham
strings, thereby disabling them to such
am extent that he was soon able to cut
their throats. He severed their heads
from their bodies and brought them to
this village in the same position they
were originally locked together, where
they remained a number of days, at
tracing much attention. The horns
are quite large and both appear to be
about the same size and shape. 1t
seems there was no possible way to get
them apart except by using great
strength by springing them in certain
position. Ii they had never been dis
covered they would have probably died
from starvation. We have often heard
of the old saying of ''getting fast by
the horns, but the truth never seemed
SO well applied as in this case.

BEET SUGAR.

The beet-sugar industry has scarcely
made start yet in this country, though
in Europe it has attained such proper
tons as to furnish half the marketed
sugar of the world, and about a third
Of the total production. The production
of beet sugar IS a commercial triumph
of the man of ''mere science. A Ber-
lin apothccary, Marggraf, first drew at
tention to the beet root rs possible
sugar mine, and n Prussian chemist,
Achard, first successfully extracted the
sugar. 1t was not, however. until the
Napoleonic wars and the blockade of
Continental ports raised the prices of
sugar that the industry was started.
Napoleon in 1911 offered houutios for
the production of beet sugar, and made
the chemistry of the process 4 speciality
i'm scientific schools. Germany followed
the example, and even now the industry
is fostered by the government through
experimental stations and by means Of
bounties on sugar protection. The
German law of 1869 laid a tax on beets
of 81 DC marks) per ton, to compensate
for the loss of revenue from imported
sugars, and gave n drawback OF S42 TO
S47 per ton of sugar exported. As by
the improved processes the yield of beet
root is over nine and half per cent of
understandable sugar, besides more than
two per cent of molasses. this law guar
anteed profit to manufacturers for
export. and the production has been
very great
The beet commonly used in Europe IS
the White Silesian, weighing from one
and a half TO two and half pounds,
and producing fifteen to twenty tons to
the ace. 1t succeeds best where there
is dry, unclouded autumn weather. The
juice is extracted either by rasping the
beet into shreds, and pressing out the
Juice, or by the diffusion process. As
the beet contains much less sugar in
proportion than cane, its transportation
is a serious matter and in France and
Belgium underground pipes are in use,
through which the juice is sent to
central factory. The process of extract
ing the sugar from the juice is essen
italy the same as in the treatment of
cane, except that the process Of carbona-
ton, which is coming into use also with
sorghum, is very generally used. The
method proposed by the Department of
Agriculture and practiced for one sea-
son at Ottawa, Kansas, with success, is
modification Of the process used for
beet juices, and consists in adding a
large excess Of lime 10 the tepid juice,
and afterward precipitating the excess
by carbonic acid. After passing
through filter press the clear Juice is
saturated with sulphurous acid, and
again filtered. This process gives a
juice perfectly limpid and of great
purity. The production of beet sugar,
where bounties are not paid will prob
ably be limited by the fact that, with
improving scientific processes, the larger
/ proportion of sugar in cane and sorgh-
um will give them m increasing adj
vantage to the planter and consumer.
/ The census of 1880 reported four beet
root factories, with 1865, 900 capital,

Waupun, Wis

Editor Rindaub recently visited our
county poor-house, and we wish 20 call
att ption to the following fact bought
to nosice by his visit: There is one.
family there representing three genera
tons grandmother, daughter and
granddaughter. who are living exo
amples of tho baneful effects Of whisky.
The grandfatherand grandmother were.
both Incorporate, and the result OF
their marriage was an imbeeile daagh-
ter. The daughter married drpnkon
husband and the result was two imbe-
cile daughters. The grandfather died,
and the drunken husband left the daugh-
ter and the others were sent TO the
poor-house years ago, and they are still
there. Besides these in great majority
of cases, whisky can be traced as the
direct cause Of bringing the inmates to
the poor-house." We commend this to
the. thoughtful consideration of tax
payers.

PEACH BLOW VASE Barber, Me
Nair & Co. have on exhibition in their
store, a vase, which is pronounced a
perfect fac-simile of the famous Chinese
peach blow vase, which recently sold
in New York City for SIS, 600. Lancas-
terians may count themselves fortunate
that such valuable piece of bric-a-brac
with the prestige of antiquity and of
having adorned the bric-a-brac collec-
tons of notables, in itself an epitomc
of history and costing quite an amount
Of treasuye-or a fac-simile of it, rather
is in their midst, on which they may
occasionally feast their eyes. And,
what is the difference? Is not one piece
of clay as valuable as another? If for
S1.50 you can buy vase that is as
pretty in every respect as one that costs
$4,000, is not every purpose served,
and is there any real difference leaving
out the antiquity Of the one in the pur-
poses they serve in this mundane
sphere2

do so. Wild flowers keep fresh longer
and pack better if they are kept in
