More Whiskey.

The following whiskey bonds have
been fled in the Office of the county
treasurer, viz:
o. A. Rider of Bangor, as principal,
i'm the sum of $4,000, with Josiah q.
Miller, postmaster, and Jonathan Hog
mire as surcties
Edwin Murray of South Haven, as
principal, in the sum of $4,000, with
Evan F. Townsend and LutherJ. Brown
as sureties.
Luther j. Brown and Frank A
Wheeler of South Haven, as principals,
i'm the sum of $1,000, with Henry B.
Williams and Edwin Murray as sure
ties.
Each of the above named saloonists
were assessed i'm the sum of S45S34 for
the privilege of manufacturing drunk
ards-cheap enough, certainly, consid-
ering the undesirableness of the goods
turned out from such establishments
Notwithstanding the fact that South
Haven was the only town in the county
to elect the prohibition ticket at last
springs election, she is the only town
in the county, rs yet, that has opened
more than one saloon.
County Treasurer Butler is deter
mined that no liquor bond shall be filed
i'm his Office that is not in strict compli-
ance with the terms of the statute as
construed by the supreme court and,
although the South Haven saloonists
were advised 10y local legal talent that
their bonds, as originally presented,
were all right, the treasurer refused to
receive them until they were drawn up
according TO his understanding of the
law, which was a very proper thing for
him to do.

Curious Experience OF Ducks. =.

A curious event occurred near the
West Main street railroad crossing in
Meriden, Conn, a few days ago. Dur
ing the coldest weather a flock of ducks
had trayed under the railroad from
their hnme, and the owner tried TO
drive them back over the rails. Their
feathers were wet, but they managed
all right till the rails were reached.
Here the difficulty occurred. The pecu-
liar waddle OF the dacks did not per
NIT their getting over the rails without
resting portion OF the wet feathers on
the frosty iron. And when the festh-
ers touched they frozs fast. A knife
was called for into requisition and q
portion OF the plumage OF the ducks
was left on the rails. It was q laugh
able sight to see the ducks frozen fast,
pulling and twisting to go away.

Boring for Water and Finding Silver.

About two months ago the coLtrac-

actress, near the foot of the mountain,
where the North Carson mine is situa-
ted, came on formation OF rock which

When the debris of .he lock came out

A few ounces OF the rock were taken To
the Bullion Exchange bank, where it
Was assayed. The assay was $50 a ton
Of silver ore. Since then experts have
been making examinations, seeking to
trace the ledge 10 Its cIoppings and
determine the character of the iuclos-
ing walls. Discoveries Seem 10 show
that the ledge runs through Mrs. Lang

struck silver.

Sailing Among Glaciers.

We had already sailed past several
glaciers larger than the Nero Glace,
of Mont Blanc, but they we're SO far
away that we got no adequate idea OF
their extent. Nor did any of them
push their way into the sea. This
glacier, to which our boat was now
pointed, came down into deep water,
and stretched back into the mountains
until its course was lost in fields OF
snow. As fhe steamer checked her
speed to keep at a safe distance from
the monster. we found that we had
sailed up point blank against the verti-
cal wall of blue ice mile and a half
long, and 800 feet high above water.
AS II to illustrate the grand scale and
magnitude OF everything, just as
our boat rounded to, q chip OF
ice, safely estimated TO weigh 1900 tons
broke of from the face OF the glacier
and fell distance of 100 feet into the
sea. or course there followed a mighty
uproar, and then a wave that rocked
our steamer as do only the big swells
from the Pacific. AS the tide was eb-
bing, the mass that had just fallen into
the water foated out past the boat,
.orming a field OF broken Ice several
acres in extent.
The upper surface of the glacier was
full of deep assures, and at the waJer-
level there were mysterious caves which
no one dared explore. Pieces of ice,
large and small. were constantly drop
ping into the sea and, as the ice-wall
acted as a sounding board. there were
constant yolleys of sound as sharp as
that OF musketry or artIllery-demon-
s.ratinR to our satisfaction that the
hutt-end Of glacier. where iceberg.
are made. is a very noisy place.
Passengers were landed on shore
and after Climb along the side mo-
raine to height of some 500 feet, q
few of US found ourselves at q point
where we could overlook the stream Of
ice and get an idea OF its deep fs-
sures and impossible condition. Higt
as we were there were vet peaks of ice
betwet US and the water that wer.
still above Us. and We could only see 6
fraction OF mile inland. Everything
WAS on scale that could only be re-
allied by the test OF climbing. Along
side the glacier. in mId-channel, ther,
were seventy-five fsthoms of water and
as the steamer approached shore to lanc
US, the lesdsman reported no bottom a
twelve fathoms.
Only last year did the boat make il
frs. trip TO this glacier. Farther VI
the bay four or five other glaciers com,
| down from the Fairweather group o.
mountains, but very little is knowr
about them. We only caught an occa
sional glimpse of the glaciers. and sap
that but a small part of the float ing ic,
in the bay came from the immense res
eryoir Of ice that we had visited.

IL pays to be Generous.

They tell down East of a poor fellow
who possessed remarkably fat hog,
and who also owed a rich man. The
hog was about all the property the poor
debtor had worth levying on, and the
law exempted mans only pig. One
day the debtor, meeting the creditor,
said: You need another pig let me
send YOU q nice little onen The
poor man was astonished. "Wby, 1
owe you for the hog I've got now," he
stammered. Never mind you need
another one, and I'll send it." and he
did. and the little pig was put in the
pen by the side of the fat one. In lees
than an hour the constable came and
attached the fat hog and took it away,
and thus the rich man was satisfied.

Feed or Breed.

1t is very popular subject just now
for discussion whether feed or breed is
paramount in the productive value of
an animal, more especially IN regard to
the yield of butter. One enthusiastic
believer in breed asks why any ordinary
COW cannot be made to give two
pounds of butter day as a purebred
Jersey does. Any one can Csk quts-
tions which will puzzle wise man to
answer. But this question IS no puzzle,
and would be harder to answer if it
were true that Jersey COW as a rule
gave two pounds of butter day. So
far, there are about 40 of these aIisto-
Gratis among, perhaps, 10000 Jersey
cows in the country, all pure bred, but
not all recorded. But what of the
others? II has been said that the aver
age yield of the 80, $50 plebeIan Jerseys
is about three pounds per week. How
much does breed for these On the
other hand, native scrub cows have
been known that, owning nothing To
breed at all, have just doubled their
yield of butter when fed as we'll as a
Jersey cow usually is, and it is these
native cows which have made the dairy
so profitable as it IS. Also, one might
ask, was it breed or feed that made =
noted Jersey COW die OF mix fever after
having been fed daily bushel of crush
ed oats and II pounds of corn. meal and
bran, besides other feed, to force her To
give three pounds of butter a day ?
Perhaps il may be said most truly, that
il our natIye cows had been fed and
cultivated with as much care as the
Jerseys have been, they might have out
done them in regard to their product.
AS it is, they have an excellent record,
not in any book, but in the enormous
aggregate yield of milk, cheese, and
butter which has made dairving the
most prosperous branch of farming.

A Curious Incident.

A curious incident occurred a dAy
or two ago av the residence Of John
Dickinson, West Goshen. A man
employed by Mr.. ID. was engaged ir
cutting wood and had raised the axe
TO strike blow. While the imp.e-
ment was in the air a sparrow flew
between it and the log and alighted
on the latter just as the axe descended.
The consequence was that before the
man could stop the blow the bird was
cut in twain by The sharp edge. Wheth-
er the sparrow was attracted by the
shining of the axe, or worm in the
wood, the man was not prepared to
say.

Seven Years In One Room.

Efforts Of the CITY Council of Los
tie old house which stands on the city's
lot on Fort street have brought to light
e strange story in connection with its
occupant, a widow, known as Mrs. Jen-
ME Lsyes. A dozen years ago Mrs.
Leyes and her husband came TO Los
Angeles from the East and took up
their residence in the house in question.
Mr.. Lsyes was in consumption, and
after long battle with the dis
ease died some seven years ago. Just
before his death he called his wife 10
his bedside and told her he was conf
dent he would return to her and give
her information about the esprit land''
that would prove Of great benefit To the
whole world. A few minutes after this
statement he died. After a good deal
OF trouble Mrs. Leyes's friends sncceed-
ed in getting her to bed In another
room. Next morning she seemed to be
in better spirits, and when her friend
asked her why she was so cheerfuI she
said her husband had appeared TO her
during the night and told her that she
must shut herself up in the room In
which he had died and neither leave 1t
nor see any one for eight years. He
told that at the end OF that time she
would be given second sight, and that
she would be able to material:Ze in
broad daylight in any room or even out
in the street. Mrs. Leyss believed that
what her husband told her, or what she
dreamed, would actually occur, so she
went into the room and has EOt been
out os 1t sInce. She Is fed and waited
on through blind door by an old lady
who has stood guard over her for seven
long years. So far as can be learned no
one has ever caught sight of her during
ali those years, and what business she
has had TO transact has been through
the blind door or a broken window.
Several attempts have been made 10 get
her out OF the room, but all have failed.
A few years ago gentleman who took
deep interest in the matter applied en-
the court for writ of habeas corpus,
but when the Judge learned his object.
and WAS told that the poor woman was
confined at her OVID pleasure, be refused
TO issue the writ, aud the woman has
not beer disturbed until now.
