and three miles for the man Who attended

The cous will get what feed they can IN

Mr.. Badger is saii,fed that taking in

at home, than to drive them daily, three
fourths Of mile TO hired pasture. As
this herd consists OF about dozen cows
there are over 20 miles Of daily travel
for 4 man and COW that is wholly wasted
time.
There are many farmers. in New Eng

they are compelling their cows to do in
gathering their food. 4 mature COW,
while in full flow Of milk, requires very
little exercise to keep her in good bodily

 The funeral of Mrs. Henrietta Woodruff, wife of MT. GeorgeS. Woodruff, took place from her late residence, 28 Edwards street, at o'clock yesterday afternoon and was at- tended by large number of relatives and friends, notwithstanding the coldness and severity of the weather. Rev. MT. But rick of the First Baptist church officiated and spoke very feelingly of the deceased wife and mother and words of consolation for the deeply bereaved relatives. The quartette from Wooster Place Baptist church sang very feelingly and touchingly two hymns, s'Just as I am" and stShall we meet beyond the river," both hymns being exceedingly appropriate, the former being hymn which was on the lips of deceased in her last ill., ness and the latter suggested by some of her dying words. The quartette was composed of Mrs. Gerge Morse soprano, Miss Della Merwin alto, Dr. J. M True bass, MT. S. o. Preston tenor. The floral tributes were very beautiful. One represented the Nash street Baptist mission, which deceased attended. A number of the men of steamer 8, with which Mr. Woodruff is identified, were pres ent; also the Wooster Place church and it's mission were well represented Messrs. Stahl & Hegel had charge of the funeral. The deceased leaves a husband and two children to mourn her loss. The interment was in Westville cemetery. The bearers were w. F. Moves, Frederick B. Dibble, Charles A. Farr and Martin Tmerich.

Assistant City Attorney Hugh Daley was surprised at his office yesterday morning. He saw before him a retired business man of the Tenth ward, who held in his hand heavy cane. Fearlessness is a we'll known charac- teristic of MT. Daley. He greeted the mer- chant cordially and bade him be seated. The gentleman said, 'I come to show my ap- preciation of your fearlessness as public official. Please accept this golded-headsd cane in token of the same." It was 8 fine ebony cane with handsome gold head. The eloquent speech that rolled forth from MT. Dailey's lips would have done justice to his best operations in the Common Council and was also equally to the point. MT. Daley in accepting the cane pledged himself to renew cd good work as public official.
