objections to Cable Roads In New YORK.
The proposed use of cable roads on
Broadway and other streets Of New York
where blockales are frequent is regarded
ay some engineers as doubtful in point Of
practical success. The frequent stopping
and starting which will he rendered neces
;ary by the conditions Of traffic below ca
lal street will enormously increase tho
wear an,l tear upon the cable, which is
already the most expensive feature Of
cable road operation. The massing Of u
large number of cars ut one point and the
consequent long stretch Of idle cable,
caused by blockade of even ten minutes
duration, will increase the wave like nc
ton of the cable, which causes the car to
surge forward rapidly for II second or two
and then to slow down in the manner fal
milar to passengers on cable roads.
Another weakness Of the cable 8ys; om-
the inability to make up lost time will
also lie accentuated If II chr is caught In
Il blockade ut the postOfiice and GotG.Ged
fifteen minutes the last car through be
fore the blockade occurs will have goo up
to Grace church by the time to blockade
is broken, and the intervening mile and II
half OF road must remain bage Of ears UHiil
the car house IL reached and extra cars put
on, for it is impossible for the one delayed
TO run any faster than the cable and gain
on its predecessor A partial remedy for
this exists, however, in the double cable
system, in which the extra string, IL
the gripmen Gull it, runs at higher rate
of speed. New York Letter.

Elder Roberts spoke of a revelation to
come from President Woodruff, and
sal 1870 would rAaI rs an epoch in the
history Of the charcl The elder cited
the alleged prophecy Of Joseph Smith.
Supporting this view, Woodruff al N
ca ne forward and said the Lord would
not reveal the time. but he had talked
twice recently with Joseph Smith in
the spirit and the purpoTt Of it was that
the bridegroom was about TO mate the
bride. President Woolrdff, continu-
ing. announced that he had talked be-
hind the veil to Brigham Young and
was encouraged greatly.
In the afternoon Apostle Richards
said the kingdom was t. advance more
rapidly than ever, but the Son of Man
and His angels would not come on earth
until Jerusalem is rebuilt, the sun
turned to darkness and the wind never
blow. The saints should stady the
Scriptures more and thea the young
men would see visions and the old men
dream.
Apostle Thatcher advised the saints to
prepare for 1871. They had prospered
greatly Of late, aud that made him fear
tul. "All we neel," he said, lis perse-
cution and plenty of it,
He expressed his full belief in Wood
ruft's conversations with Joseph Smith
and Brigham Young. The time is
coming, he said, whe this country will
again engage in strife between labor
and capital, and the Mormon question
will be forgotten for the time. Then the
people would flee from all the parts of
the land to Utah, and the Mor1ncns
would welcome them and would estab-
lio'' here a true republican government

A SAD OCCURRENCE.
Mother, Daughter and Son Suffocated by
Fire in Their House.


Fire in Their House.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, Oct. 7.-One of the
most terrible accidents ever known in
Dubuque occurred Sunday morning at
o'clock. The residence of ex-Policeman
John McBee was discovered on fire. A
neighbor ran across and tried to az use
the family While knocking at the door
the window in the upper story crashed,
and McBee fell to the ground. For a
few moments he was senseless. When
he recovered he began crying that his
family were upstairs.
The flames We're quickly extinguished,
and the firemen entered at the top of
the landing. The mother and three
children were found and quickly re-
moved Mrs. McBee and the Oldest
daughter (Rose) aged 10, were dead.
The youngest daughter (Bertha), aged
10, and Charles, years old, were still
alive. The boy died Sunday. The
girl is still alive, but can not recover.
McBee is too da ed to give correct
account. 1t is gathered that he awoke
nearly sutfocated, and aroused his wife.
They groped III the smoke aud darkness
until McBee struck the window through
which he leaped or fell. The mother
was with him, but remembered her
children and went back to save them.
When found the family were in a
group, with their arms about each
others neclls. The building is small,
two-story frame. The bodies We're very
slightly burEed.

From the Burlington Free Press.
A former resident of North Ferrisburgh
writes an interesting letter from Iowa, in
which, while defending Iowa as a good
place for Nermonters to go to and a good
state TO live in, he gives this bit of good
advice to Nermonters But with capital
of less than $500, stay where you are, as
poor man can get but little to do in prai-
RE country in winter Stock raising does
not pay as well as formerly. A fat COW
will bring only two cents per pound on
foot aud a steer only three cents" etc.
This is but repeating the advice so often
given by Nermonters who have lived and
who are living in the West and who know
what they are talking about. In the same
direction is the advice given by d. Hop
kins, writing from Mississippi to the Watch
man 'In my trips West and South have
endeavored to make fair inventory of the
benefits and advantages of different sec
tons of the country as compared to those
of our own in Vermont. The more | see
and learn of them the more positive | am
in the opinion that there are more condi-
tons circumstances, fixtures and surround
ings-or good things, which implies it all
in Vermont than elsewhere. If any au-
thority was delegated to me to dictate
would say, Young men, don't go West or
South, but stay in Vermont, or somewhere
in New England As our Iowa corre-
spondent urges settlement in the West if
Nermonters iCiH leave their native state,
so Mr.. Hopkins urges those who must go
somewhere to go South, but he adds that
while there ARE abandoned farms, too
much abandoned farming and too many
abandoned farmers in Vermont, you cant
20 far from home without finding a worse
state of things"

The practice of dumping manure from
the wagon or sleigh in small piles is waste
full both Of time and manure. Compare
lively few men can spread manure from
piles so as to cover all the ground, much
less to cover it evenly. The matter is made
still worse by leaving the manure piles to
lie several days or weeks before being
spread. The soluble parts Of the manure
are washed into the ground, and if every
particle of the visible manure is removed,
the spot will yet he richer than the space
surrounding it.
A few years ago farmers in grain-grow-
ing localities used straw lavshy for bed
ding, for the purpose of making the larg
est possible manure piles. Now the ten
dency is to use as little straw for bedding
as is consistent with cleanliness Cut straw
mixed with ground grain makes a valuable
feed, the straw furnishing carbonaceous
matter, and the meal giving the elements
that make muscle and growth. If corn
meal is used, it should be mixed with
ground oats or wheat bran to make a good
feeding ration.

For the benefit of a subscriber we asked
DR.. Horne, Can anything be done that
will restore to normal condition a quarter
of cows udder that has been affected
with garget, and that has ceased to yield
milk at all!' The doctor replies Eyes.
Many cows after losing the use of one
quarter of the udder by garget or other
wise, have been perfectly restored to use
fulness. Rub once a day with saturated
tincture of camphor, six parts common
turpentine, two parts. Rub quite hard for
ten to fifteen minutes-manipulat has a
good effect. At the opposite end of the
day rub hard with alcohol, one part meats
foot oil, one part. The first reduces hard
ness and swelling, the second will feed,
nourish and soften the udder Do this as
the COW seems to need. Just a month OF
so before calving do this with the alcohol
mixture only. "-Hodrd'S Dairymdn.

There are now at the experiment station
farm at Burlington several sheep which
will be taken to the annual shearing of the
Addison county sheep breeders to be held
soon at Middlebury. Each sheep was
placed in a separate pen and was fed on
entirely different food from his fellows.
On each animal the wool was clipped as
short as possible on certain spot, from
which it will, when grown out be again
clipped and tested for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what foods produce wool of the
finest texture.
