full of pepper and one egg yolk. Shape,
make a hole in the center, fill with

New York, Aug. 2i-The opening of
the stock market this morning showed
a lively reawakening of outside inter-

commission house orders, which had
come into the brokers' Offices over night
and which kept up an animated tone In
the dealings during most of the morn

large individual interests and prices OF
some stocks tapped the years record.
The preferred stocks of reorganized COM
panes were quite prominent, and the
shares of Southwestern roads were not
ably strong and continued firm all day.
The grangers were leaders in point of
activity and strength, but realizing sales

AURIFEROUS GEESE.

A remarkable discovery was made
by Patrick Casey, of the Cascade,
few days since. He lives near the Sus-
quehanna river, and keeps flock OF
geese. Killing one of the flock. pc
culiar metal was found in its crop, in
small quantities. His curiosity led him
to kill another goose, the crop of which
contained about the same quantity of
the same metal. About teaspoonful
was taken from the crop of the two
geese. The mineral was tested by q
Susquehanna jeweler, who pronounced
1t silver. The geese are most of the
time in the river, which is shallow in
places, or on the gravelly bank, the
