BAD FOR LUNIBERMEN.
The Open Winter Likely to Pro ve
 Expensive to Them

The Open Winter Likely to Pro we
 Expensive to Them
 The absence of snow and the extremely mild weather prevailing is causing feeling of depression among the lumbermen and mill owners of Northern New York who had planned 8 big raid on the Adirondack forests during the pres ent winter. The streams are now free from ice, the light snowfalls of November and De- cember have been melted, and there is no frost in the ground Ever rything is unfavor- able for extensive operations in the woods, and unless deep snows come soon the stock of logs f1oated to the various mills will be 8 small one.
 Lumbermen on the Raquette, Grass. Oswe- gatchie Indian, Beaver, Moose and Black Rivers made prepara tons last fall for cutting about 9O,OOO, ,OOO feet of logs, to be foated to their mills by the spring freshets From present indications, they will not be able to get in over half what they expected. Besides the logs taken to the various mills, timber buyers along the line of the Black River Canal wanted to purchase 3O.OOO spars and dock sticks for shipment to New York on rafts on the opening of ofnavigation. As yet they have not been able to secure much timber because the lack of snow prevents it's delivery.
 Nothing like the present winter has been known i'll the section since the season i'll 1S75- G. and even then the snowfall was sufficient to enable the lumbermen to go on with their work without interruption. The unfavora- ble season is the cause of some hardship to the people who live on half cleared farms along the borders of the North Woods. They have been accustomed to eke out thelr scanty incomes by the sale of timber, or the money obtained for q few months work in the lum- Der camps This year they are unable to sell their timber or get work because so little IS being done in the woods.

PRIZE DAIRY FARMS.
Encouraging This Branch of Agri-
 culture in France.

In France the government gives each year a number of prizes of honor for the best cultivated farms. Prof. James Long, the we'll known English writer on dairy subjects, has written upon some of these farms that are given mainly to dairying. In speaking of M. Marc, who oultivates about 266 acres, of which fifty are devoted to lucerne, sanfoin, clover, vetehes and maize; twenty five to roots, and the balance to pastures and mead ows, he says: In addition to these crops, most of which he consumes, M. Marc purchases feeding stuffs to the value of 1850, being divided into grains, cake and beet refuse from the sugar factor ies. Forty COWS of the Montbeliard type are kept, and these furnish 73,OO0 itres year for sale and 10, GOO litres, or 2,20O gallons, for the calves and house. The annual yield per COW is thus 45O gallons. The milk is sold at the farm at m average price of I'd. per gallon.
 On another prize farm M. Leroy grows thirty-eight acres of sanfoin and lu- cerne, and the same quantity of other green food, which he gives to his twenty COWS during the summer. In the winter they get preserved forage, fermented mangels, and four and half pounds of bran per day. This farmer sells his milk at the rate of 84d. per gallon, and his COWS give him an average of 75O gal Ions per head. This is something like return, and one which we ought to emulate in this country.
 A smaller farmer, M. Gilbert, who owns his land, occupies seventy five acres. He owns thirty milking COWS, twelve fine heifers, seven horses, and ten sows or fattening pigs. Cheese is here made of tho variety known as Point PEveque, tine dairy being under the management of Madame Gilbert, who, tho report says, has introduced fortune into the house. The department con- sists of three plainly installed rooms well arranged for the manufacture. Each day one hundred and eighty litres (sixty-two gallons) of milk are con- vertcd into cheese making something like one hundred. This work, however, is not maintained during the whole of the year. The total number of cheeses generally sold is about 3t, 900, and they realize from 17,OOO to 18,OOO francs, or, in round numbers, probably .e7O0. Tbis is an astonishing result for so small a farm. I have seen this kind of cheese made upon Normandy farm of the highest type, and believe it to be Q va ricty we'll adapted to this country. It is necessary, however, to add to this sum 9l6O pounds on account of the sale of butter and skim milk and pork Tn all, therefore, the returns from the dairy are at least 980O, or, supposing one or two heifers to be milked, moro than 925 per COW. The total receipts of the farm from all sources arc yf960, while the expenses arc from G660 to G720, showing 0 net profit of nearly .el0 per COW. It is very doubtful if this could be exceeded upon any farm in England. Forty eight to fifty dollars net profit per COW, would be considered pretty good with most dairymen in this country.

Came for His Old Deposit.

An old man, rudcly clad, with unkempt hair and beard, called nt the Philadelphia Mint and laid claim to some gold he snid hc left there over thirty years ago. He said his name was A. Squires. Upon investigation 124 9-10 ounces of gold, worth $2,21O, were found credited to A. Squircs as deposited on June II, 1855. The old claimant had a faded slip of paper resembling the receipts used by the Mint in 1855, but there was no trace of writing on it to prove his claim. The old fcl- low said the deposit was made on Monday and the depositor just before him was named Buckmaster. This was found to be true, also. By way of identification he produced six checks on Wells, Fargo x Co.,, of San Fran cisco. for $3,O0O. After leaving the gold at the Mint he soid, iie raturned to California. He knew nobody enst of the Rockies. Supt. Fox said he would have to report the matter to the Washington authorities.

A RIB REMOVED.
An Indiana Man Saved by a Wonder
 full Surgical Operation.

John Hixson, of Linton, Ind, is in fair way to recover from one of the most remark able surgical operations on record. Dr.. J. A. Minnich, of Warrington, re- moved from Hixson's body almost all of the fifth rib the left side lying directly over the heart.
 The operation was made necessary by an three years ago. Hixson was then thirty and his health declined, till year ago 0 pro tuberance appeared on the left breast. from which pus cxuded. Underneath, the rib yielded to pressure with a cracking sound. Last May Q small piece of bone worked through to the surface. Hixson consulted Dr. Minnich, and was advised to wait. His condition became worse and Of late has been SO bad that his life was despaired of Dr. Minnich decided at length to use the knife.
 The rib, when exposed, was found to be much decayed. It was removed from it's sheath and beneath it the action of the heart was visible. A large abscess was discovered and removed Throughout the operation the utmost care was necessary in order that no injury should be done to the pieura or lining of the thorax, directly beneath which lay the heart, which shook with it's pulsations the very mem branc from which tho surgeons knife must remove the unhealthy growth. Nevertheless, the rib was removed successfully. Since the operation Hxson has regained his appetite and has suffered little pain. The operation is a very rare one, though medical works mention cases of the kind.

KANSAS WARFARE.
Gray County Proclaimed Under Mar
 tial Law.

tial Law.
 Brigadier- General Murray Myers, who went to Gray County, Kan., in command of the troops ordered there to quell the disturbance between the people of Cimarron and Ingalls,, made his report to the Governor. He says he regards the situation as very serious and likely to result in further warfare.
 When he reached Cimarron he found the citizens under arms and expected an attack from the Ingalls, people. They were much re- lieved on the arrival of the troops. During the day meeting was held, and it was de- cided that the county should be placed under martial law. The General then went to In gals, where similar proceedings were carried out. Both towns have now appointed com mittees to lay their grievances before the At torney General, and while it has been agreed that his ruling shall be abided by, those who know the situation do not regard the truce as an abiding one. General Myers says every one in the country is connected with one fac ton or the other, and that the most bitter feelings prevail. Both towns he found in arms and prepared for fight, and he thinks that but for the arrival of troops another and more deadly riot would have been waged. All business is suspended, and all trains pas sing through closely watched by armed men. as surprises are feared, and he learned that both towns have ordered a large supply of ammunition. The Ingalls, men captured at Cimarron are in charge of their friend, the Sheriff, who is from Ingalls,. Edward Brooks, an Ingalls, man, shot through the body, is dead, making three deaths the result of the f,rSt foh

THE SAMOAN DISTURBANCES.
The President Makes . Report on
 the Condition of Affairs

The President transmitted to both houses of Congress report from the Secretary of State exhibiting the progress of the disturb ance in Samoa. Among other things he says: The information laid before Congress is of much importance, since it has relation to the preservation of American interests in dis tant locality and under unsuitable and un- satisfactory Government. In the midst of the disturbances which have arisen at Samoa such powers have been exercised as seem to bo within executive control under the constitution and laws, and which appear to accord with our national policy and condition, to restore tranquility md secure the safety of our citizens, through negotiation and agreement with great Britain and Ger many which, with our own Government, con stitute the treaty powers interested in Sam oan peace and quiet. The attempt has been made to define more clearly the part which those powers shall assume in the Government of that country, while at the same time it's autonomy has been insisted upon. These negotiations were at one time interrupted by such action on the part of the German Gov ernment as appeared to be inconsistent with thoir further continuance.
 Germany asserts that she hAs no desire or intention to overturn the native Samoan Government, or to ignore our treaty rights, and she invites our government to join her in peace and quiet. But thus far her proposi- tions on this subject seem to lead to such a picPoHuei Ot ucIIHhu pOWeT LII olHOu uS was never contemplated by us.
 Acting under the restraints which our Con stitution and laws have placed upon the Ex- ecutivc power, have insisted that the auton- emy and independence of Snmoa should be scrupuously preserved according to the treaty made with Samoa by the powers named, and the othcr agreements and under standings with each other have protested against every act apparently tending in the opposite direction, and during the existence fvNtnr of war have been kept in Samoan waters to protect American citizens and property.

FIGHTING WITH LYNCHERS.
Several Prisoners Killed and Wound.
 ed in Texas

Bern cen 10 and II o'clock at night Deputy United States Marshal Johnson started to remove six prisoners from the jail in Graham. Texas, to the jail at Weatherford. The prisoners were the four Marlow brothers, held for murder. and two men named Hart and Pierce, held for offences against the Gov ernment For several weeks threats of lynch ing the four brothers have been made. They
 were desperate men, and were charged with every crime in the calendar A month ago the Sheriff of Willbarger county placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Wallace, of Young county, warrant for the arrest of Boone Marlow. In attempting to make the arrest,
 Wallace was shot and killed by Boone Mar low.
 Boone Marlow escaped, but his brothers were arrested ns accessories. The brothers broke jail, were recaptured, and then mob resolved to hang them. Marshal Johnson or ganlzed a strong guard and marched out of town with his prisoners. He had not left town ten minutes when the mob began to form. About fifty men overhauled the pris- oners three miles from town. Without word of warning the mob rushed on the guards. The prisoners were defenceess and hand to-hand fight took place. Then some one shot one of the Marlows, and two of the guards opened fire on the mob. Two of the Marlows snatehed guns from the guards and poured a deadly fire into the lynchers, The marshaPs guard retreated behind trees, and the prisoners scattered
 Over POO shots were fired. Four of the would be lynchers were killed and three wound ed. Two of the Marlows were killed and the other two escaped. but are believed to be badly wounded. The prisoners, Hart and Pierce, also escaped. The brothers made a hard fight, and if properly armed would have killed a score of their assailants. The guard did not fire into the mob, but over their heads. The prisoners saw this, and one of the brothers said ''We know we are gone, boys, but give us a chance to fight" Three of the guards then handed their guns to the brothers and told them to fight.

GERMAN AUDACITY.
Insults to American Citizens and t,
 the Flag by German Sailors.

CBst ails of outrages on American citizens
 and on the American flag in Samoa, commit
 ted by German sailors and naval officers in
 December last are as follows: On the night of December 16, 1SO German sailors came ashore at Apia and entered the stores and native houses in search of Amerl
 cans, Englishmcn and half castes. They found
 George Scanlan, United States Marshal in Apia, and his brother, Morris Scanlan, also
 an American citizen, and, starting a quarrel,
 stabbed both of them in the back.
 The German sailors ran through the streets attacking all persons they met, except the Germans The United States Consul sent a protest to the German Consul asserting that
 the conduct of the German sailors had been outrageous, and had placed American lives l and property in jeopardy. On the morning
 of December IT the Olga left Apia, steamed
 up the coast and returned that evening with Tamasese's secretary on board. That night the secretary wrote a letter to hls wife Tn Apia stating that the Germans would at tack Mataafe'S $ men in the town of Matata patch during the night.
 The woman sent word to Mataafes soldiers.
 Before midnight 200 armed men had assem- blcd on shore, and waited for the appearance | of the German boats. About two o'clock in the morning three German men of-war boats approached to about half a mile above the
 British consulate. Mataafes soldiers gath cred on shore to receive them. The people in the boats were warned not to land, and pro-
 ceeded across the bay to Vailele, where a bloody skirmish took place between the Ger mans and the natives. The Germans be-
 came panic stricken, and while flying to shel-
 ter under the German plantation house a
 mum Der of them were killed.
 On the morning of December 21 the Olga
 went to Matafaqateh and destroyed the vil- lage large American flag, formerly used for consular purposes which had been placed
 on one of the houses, partially burned
 by the Germans and then torn. Fragments
 of the flag were taken to Apia and delivered to Consul Blacklock, who has forwarded
 them to Secretary Bayard On the same day an American citizen named Brown was seized,
 carried on board the war ship Eber, and after being roughly treated was released. Secretary Whitney has ordered the United States steamer Vandala to Apia. The Tren-
 ton is believed to have already arrived there
