FIRE At THE BRANCH. We are sorry
to state that the dwelling house, barn
and outhouscs Of NJ. Horace Lovely
at the Branch, were consumed On Sun
day afternoon last. The fire originated
IN some straw on the top of pig pen,
and from there it communicated to the
barn, and from thence, in spite of every
exertion, it took the fine large dwelling
house to the ground. AS there had been
no fire in the house for some time, and
none about the premises, it is supposed
that it was the work of an incendiary.


The dwelling house was the finest
structure in the village, and the loss of
1t, together with the other property falls
quite heavily upon Mr. Lovely, There
was an insurance of 81, 500 on the prop
ersy, not enough to cover the loss, how
ever.

Unsuccessful attempts were made at the

to make another effort at getting her off,
with the above result. The Blue Bel is

repairs are made on her, will be ready for

Hawiey is at his old tricks, Unable to
present to the people of the district any re.
cord Of his works in congress worthy of
mention unable to show why he should be
returned, or the radical party maintained IN
power afraid to 20 be fore the people on
his own merits, he commences the canvass
bv telling the people that Cable, his oppon-
ent, is wealthy, rich in blood money made
from slaves Cable made his money-every
dollar of it in the practice of his profession,
in legitimate trade and investments, a fact
which is well known to Hawley. But the
radical candidate for Congress would not
tell the truth about his opponent if he could.
Think of Ha~ley talking about "blood,' .

We all know how much superior is
= fish prepared for the pan as soon as
it is caught, compared TO one that has
been allowed to die. Few. however,
are aware of the cause of the differ
encc.


The reason is this The fish trans
terrel to the pan from the water is
killed before it Is cooked, while the
one that dies is diseased, and it, body
Is not IN proper condition to eat
when brought to market. The differ
ence between them Is exactly that be-
tween an animal killed by the butch
er and one that dies of fever. for the
supply Of oxygen that the fish re-
ceives when taken out of its native
element is 50 great as to produce te-
yer, Of which he perishes.


The superiority OF the fish of lIol-
land is remarked BY all who eat them
and the reason is that As soon as they
are caught the Dutch fishermen stick
an awl into their heads. and they are
not brought to market with fiabby,
teyered flesh, as in England and in
this country.


Not only is the flavor of the flesh
thus killed far superior to those that
die Of fever. but the effect upon the
human system is not injurious. TOW
common is it to hear the remark that
fish make people feverish. SO they
do as would the flesh Of any animal
that dies Of fever.


We trust that some of our fisher
men will see this article and profit by
it. Let the fish they take be each
killed by an awl driven in the BRAN.
1t will not take second to do this,
and it will be found that the flavor
of their killed flesh will be so far SUI
perior to that OF those which die OF
fever they will be bought in prefer
ence, and that after awhile people
will buy no fish but those that have
been killed.


Try the experiment, fishermen, and
you will be richly rewarded.

Miss Clara Louise Kel-


lOSS.


From every enterprise. whether re-
sultlng in success or failure, some no.
ticeable fact is always evolved, impor-
tant TO the individual, TO the many, or
to both so alter the thunder of the
cannons, the crash of the anvils, and
the surge of the grand tonal wave
from thousands Of voices and instru
ments assisting at the late grand mu-
steal Jubilee, this fact stands forward
prominently, that Miss Clara Louise
Kellogg was the unchallenged success
ana the crowning glory Of the festival
week. This young soDgstress, born IN
our midst. and educated at home, with
no foreign influence TO win her from
loving allegiance to her native country,
has steadily worked her way to the
highest position OF the operate art-a
position which she has maintained here
against all opposition, and in London
against Nilsson, and other great ar.
lists who flock to that city during the
fashionable season.

WHAT THE ISFAMY CosTs.- Says the Chi cago Times: "In a recent conversation with Washington correspondent of a radical newspaper, Secretary Belknap said: |" If we could feel it safe to remove troops from the South, we could take care of the Indians with a reduced army, but every time we remove q regiment from there, the Southern Congressmen and Governors of States are after us. The South is in the way of the greatest retrenchment at present.

 "The expenses of the War Department are double those of any other, and Secretary Bel knap says they are made so by the maintain ance of the reconstruction infamy. The army cannot be reduced because that infamy re- quires the bayonets of Federal soldiers to reduce majority, composed of the best and most intelligent white men of the South, to political subjugation to minority, made up of ignorant and vicious negroes and carpet baggers.

When German students get drunk, they are entirely satisfied if they can succeed in getting each other home; but when Americans get drunk they insist on whipping out the whole beerhouse, and see ing that the establishment is properly closed before they leave.

ISDUsTRT.-Man must have occupation, or be miserable. Toil is the price of sleep and apetitite.-of health and enjoyment. The very necessity which overcomes our natural sloth is a blessing. The whole world does not contain brier or thorn which divine mercy could have spared. We are happier with t' sterility, which we can overcome by industry, than we could have been with spontaneous plenty and unbounded profusion. The body and the mind are improved by the toll that latigues them. The toll is a thou sand times rewarded by the pleasure which it bestows. Its enjoyments are peculiar. No wealth can purchase them, no indolence can taste them. They flow only from the excr- tions which they repay.

MIR. Bella S. Hastings. who is one of the
Leading drovers from Vermont in supply
ing cattle for the Boston market, gave his
experience and observation in relation to
iattenlng stock, at late meeting of the
Caledonia county farmers club:


lie said the main object of the farmer
was to get the most out of his fodder. It
does not pay to feed grain to poor crea-
ture, one that does not take on flesh rapid
ly. Farmers will do better to dispose of
such stock for what it will bring, and pro-
cure animals of good style. He believed
that one-half OF the grain fed was wasted
by not being fed to good cattle. Another
important point is farmers do not feed
heavy enough. He would commence with
as much feed as they could bear at first,
and then increase. In feeding II quarts of
meals, the last four quarts are worth twice
as much as the first four for fattening pur-
poses. Some farmers complain that they
do not get pay for the grain they feed out,
but he had noticed that it was only those
that feed light that thus complain. Wheth-
er the animal was to be fed long Or q
short time, he would recommend heavy
feeding. Mr.. Hastings said he knew no.
thing better than corn meal. The cob is
not worth much, if anything. Those per.
sons of whom he purchased fat stock, who
Weret the most successful, and made it most
profitable, were those who fed meal large.
! ly. If a farmer has potatoes or other roots
| it is well enough to feed those in part, bu


a farmer viii do better to exchange some
of his root for corn than to feed roots al
| together. It is important to feed regularl,


and not too often, as the stock will eat ant

ABOUT MILKING. Five per cent, and
perhaps ten, can be added to the amount
of milk obtained from the COWS of this

nearly at equal intervals: half past five in
the morning and six at night are the good
hours. Sd. Be especially tender of the
draw the milk as rapidly as possible, being
certain to alloys get it all. 5th. Never
talk or think of anything beside what you
are doing while milking. 9th. Offer some
caress and always soothing word when
you approach cow and when you leave
her. The better she loves you, the more
free and complete will be her Qbqndon as
YOU sit at her side.

How TO GET WORK DONE ON A FAR8I--
Every farmer is at times oppressed with q
sense of the overwhelming number ofthings
that requires to be done. We have seen a
nervous man in such circumstance com
mence one job and before Ii he bad got fairly
started. abandon it for something that SEEM
ed more pressing, merely to leave this in
the same unfinished state; and when night
came he had accomplished little or moth
ing, and passed hours tossing abopt on q
sleepless bed thinking what he should do
on the morrow. A young farmer could not
adopt better rule than 70 repeat to him
self every morning, whatsoever thy hand
findeth to do. do it with thy might" and
act upon it. When a job is commenced
finish before beginning another; but, at
the same time, attend to the little things.
But if you happen to get behind, strike a
lively gait. do one thing at time, and
when it is done, take little rest by i'm
mediately commencing another, and in
this way you will pull through in good
time. --American Agriculturist.
