A Live Barometer.

The T;dirgs claims there is roos5-
er in The possession Of resident Of
the iowa Of Grass Valley that not
only indicates the approach o: rain,
but also Of sDow and lis depth.
The normal color of It's featbers is
tan, but few hours before rain falls
they tura black; While hale a day
prior TO snow fall the feathers are
observed TO take on wbitish tinge,
gradually changing into pure white
before the first flakes are seen.
Then, too, the bird is an Indicator
of the depth of the snow. For roos5
it has pole on which are eight Cross
pieces foot apart. Before the last
heavy snow storm, aud after lis feaoh-
ers had changed to white, the rooster
was observed to take his place on the
third cross piece. One foot from tel "a
tirma had been its roost previously,
but the intuition was realized by the
snow falling TO a depth of two feet
and eleven inches.

On dark and cloudy day like this
one is filed with evil forebodings-
in fact he is as blue as indigo. But

he is as light-hearted and full Of
pleasant thoughts as can be. What
better barometer do you want than
your own feelings?

Sheep are now sheared by electric
ity in Australia, Frederick Wolseley,
brother of Lord Wellesley, having
invented machine for that purpose.
The method of using the shears is
very simple, the operator having
merely to throw a friction wheel into
adjustment by means Of ahandle. and
then push the combination into the
wool, pressing it continuously forward
and keeping it as closely as possible
to the animal being operated upon.
From one to one hundred shears can
be operated at one time. By this
mode the shearing is done more merci-
fully than when done by hand shears.

Fight at Townsend.
The rumor that man was killed at
Townsend on Saturday is false. John
Clark, white tough, was hurt. but not
killed. The trouble was the result Of q
feud existing between a crowd Of toughs
living in the neighborhood Of Ode ssa,
and similar crowd living in what is
known as The Forest" west OF
Townsend.
Saturday being small election day, the
two crowds met at Townsend. Whiskey
flowed freely all day and by e-ening
things were ripe for a row. About 5
o'clock an alteration began between two
Of the men and general free fight en-
sued, during which John Clark, one of
the Forest" crowd, was struck in tile
head with 2 black jack by Nat. Van
Horn Of near Odessa
Clark fell and was carried of In an un-
conscious condition by his comrades. who
then returned and finished the fight. A
man from the neighborhood SAYS 'It was
like pandemonium for a while. The
rioters were too strong for the officials to
deal with, and they had everything
their own way
1t has been rumored that Clark's in
juries proved fatal, but the fact that he
was at work in his corn feli yesterday
proves that his injuries were not as
serious as supposed. No arrests have
been made.

around for the deiectation of the crowd.
and received with the utmost good hHmor
showers of missiles hurled at him by a
number of boys who had been attracted
to the spot by his frolics. A friend Of
his at length arrived and succeeded in
extricating him from his difficulty. he
appeared to relish the punishment be
received and reluctantly left the pole
and the boys behind The friend dropped
him on Eighth street, where he was
picked up by Officer Emmons and
taken to the police station. He gave the
name of James o Brisn and exhibited the
same good humor until consigned to his
cell
