A few weeks ago, a prominent firm of
jewellers, doing business in this city, re-
ceived letter from Chicago, containing
the following curious order: The writer
said that he was worth some hundreds OF
thousands, and being desirous of max
ing his wife handsome present. wished
the firm to manufacture for him immedi-
atcly, a splendid golden urn, of the most
elaborate description, and large enough
to contain a human heart, as he intended
to place his own heart in it, and give it
to his lady as a keepsake !! The letter


wound up with a postscript to the effect
that as Messrs. might want some
proof of the writer's ability to foot the
bill, he begged leave to refer them to his
fatherin law, Mr.. -, of Chicago.


The jewelers. were quite non -plussed
by this singular order. for while, and
hardly knew how to act. The whole af-
fair looked like freak Of insanity but
so many men. acknowledged to be sane,
had INDUCED in ust such whims, that
they resolved to seek further information
on the subject The corresponding party
at once addressed letter to customer
in Chicago, desiring to find out if such
a man as the referee named in the order
really existed and if SO, whether he
was responsible party. In few days
the answer came, stating that there was
such person at the locality, and that
he was one of the merchant princes of
the western city. This almost satisfied
the New York firm that the order was
genuine. but they still hesitated to I'll it,
and finally wrote to the referee. and ask
ed his advice in the matter. The conse-
quence was that the Chicago merchant
came to this city at once, steam haste. to
prevent the filling of the order. He sta
ted that the person who gave it had in
deed been his son-in-law at one time, but
was then madman-and destined to be
placed in an asylum very soon. The old
gentleman went home, but scarcely had
he left when second letter came from
the sonin-law. complaining that the firm
had not acknowledged the receipt of his
order. and asking them whether they
would fill it, or oblige him to apply to
other parties. Rather provoked at being
subject to what they considered
a troublesome hoax. the jewelers. very
thoughtlessly wrote back to him that
they had detected his true character, and
write TO the Chicago authorities concern
ing him. if he played any more of his
crazy pranks upon them.


OF course the threat was vain one
but it had the effect to frighten the poor
lunatic. and by heightening his madness,
led him to commit ian outrage" that
brought him before certain portion of
the Chicago public. One evening. as an
dressed lady was in the act of
alighting from her carriage to enter
dry goods store, he suddenly darted to
the door Of the vehicle, and with a loud
cry, threw his arms about the neck of
the fair equestrian. The lady at first

Farmers generally do not pay sufficient
attention to the warmth of their stock,
but suffer them to roam about III the
open air exposed to inclement weather.
The amount of exercise is another most
important point to attend to. The more
an animal moves about, the quicker 1t
will breathe, and the more starch, gum,
sugar, fat and other respiratory elements
it must have in its food and if an addi-
tional quantity of these substances is not
given to supply the increased demand,
the fat and other parts of the body will
be drawn upon, and the animal will be-
come thinner also, as before observed,
every portion of the body produces COR
responding destruction of the muscles
that produce the motion 1t is, therefore.
quite evident that the more the animal
moves about the more of the heat pro-
ducing and flesh forming principle it
must receive in its food. Hence, we see
the propriety of keeping our cattle in
sheds and yards, and not suffering those
particularly which we intend to fatten)
to roam about consuming more food. and
wasting away more rapidly the various
tissues of the body already formed. and
making it more expensive and difficult to
fatteu them.
