The United States Geolo yical Sur
veY presents IN interesting report of
its work for the season of 1876. Its
experts surveyed in the seven
;inc1shs Of operations 4O.ssi square
miles OF territory. Obtaining results
which must prove of grea. economic
value. The researches covered wido
extent of country, ranging from the
coal and building stone deposits Of
New England to the phosphate beds
Of the South. Alaska was not pe-
elected, and much light was thrown
On the gold mining and other re-
sources OF that Territory. The Sur
vey, under the direction of Reofessor
Walcots, again demonstrates it's value
not onl; to science, but to The me-
terial welfare and progress of the
country.

Deplorable Us is the partial destruc-
tion of the sheep industry to which
the enormous slaughter the past two
years points, this has its re,lcemin5
feature. With largely increased sup
plies of inexpensive mutton in til, re-
tail market stalls, consumers have
learned ns never before the admirable
qualities and flavor of this wholesome
food. A better acquaintance with
American mutton must result in q
steadily increasing demand for ho.ne
butcher purposes. Testimony of those
best able to Judge shows that this is
already noteworthy.

There is in existence curious class
of knives OF the sixteenth century, the
blades of which have on one side the
musical notes to tho benediction Of
the table, or grace before meat, and
on the other side the grace after meat.
The set of these knives usually con-
sisted of four. They were kept in m
upright case of stamped leather, and
were placed before the singer.

singular Disease Affecting Cattle Nenr
MarseiIles, Ill.

OTTAWA, ILL.,, Aug. 2O.-Farmers in
Brookfield township, just south of
Marseilles, are greatly exercised over
IA new disease which has broken out
there. Its first appearance was early
in the summer, when two or three
head in a herd of Go cattle, shipped
there from Chicago for stock pur-
poses, were suffering with an atfec-
ton Of the eyes. No attention
appears to have been given to the
cattle until Tuesday, when DR.. DEEMS,
an Ottawa veterinarian, was called
to see them. He was astounded at the
awful condition in which he found the
cattle. The disease has spread in three
herds of over 100 head, and many of
the animals are hopelessly blind, and
others rapidly losing their sight. DIR.
DEEMS can find nothing in the author
tiles relating to the disease, which in
each Ease affects the pupil of the eye.
lie will go out again and endeavor to
mike q more thorough diagnosis. 1t
may be necessary to have all the af-
| fected cattle killed to prevent the
spread of the peculiar malady.

AN ENTIREoLoCoMoTIvE PLANT
To be shipped from Philadelphia to st.
Petersburg.

petersburg.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19.-An entire
locomotive plant will shortly be taken
TO st. Petersburg from this city on the
British steamship Laleham, which has
been chartered for the purpose. The
plant is to be erected at Mini Novgo-
rod, the commercial metropolis of the
interior of the Russian empire. Con-
tracts for machinery for the plant
amounting TO over 100000 were
awarded to American manufacturers,
the bulk Of them coming to Philadel-
phia firms.
Yhe plant is to be built in connec-
ton with the SarInoya works, an eX-
teDsivc establishment engaged i'll man
Ufacturing cars, steamboats,, steam
boilers, and employing 5000 hands.
The locomotive plant will have 4 ca
pacity for building 20o engines a year,
aud will employ about 1000 hands.
All of the iremen and engineers will
be Americans. The buildings have
been completed, and are now ready
TO receive the machinery.
The car has given valuable encour-
agemcnt to the enterprise. AS nearly
eighty-fye per cent. of the railways in
the empire are operated by the gov
ernment, the new company will get a
great share of its work. The company
will be known as the RussIan-Ameri-
can Manufacturing Co. The consign-
ment will aggregate over three thou
sand tons
