lying coiled up in the grass, and cut him in
three pieces. The head part ran one way,
and the tail another. The middle piece

the part that had the head on carried it off
in its With. This may sound like a snake
story but it is,vouched' for. Mr. Kellogg
states that he has‘ mowed-"nearly 80 acres of

There were three cases of sunstroke, none

During the week Our river bed has been
subjected to a complete scraping by aclass
Ofmen, not of Westport, who make their
living by buying seed oysters and bedding
them. They were aided by resident oyster-
men who were compensated for their par-
ticipation in the nefarious business, by re-
ceiviug the paltry sum of 40 cents per
bushel for the seed oysters furnished. No
arrests were made and the authorities, so
far as known, did not make objectiou. The
law plainly forbids this annual oyster steal,
the statute having been enacted for the pro-
tection of the people, who like to have the
privilege of getting a bushel or two of oys-
ters without going to market for them, and
to prevent these periodical raids. Thus set
at defiance, the law, through the conven-
ience of tricky lawyers and the more tricky
oystermenlwho raise money from time to
time to look out for what are called oyster
interests, becomes a nonentity. Could the
river be let alone for say two years, there
would be bivalves enough for all. Among
those loudest in making complaint against
encroachment, and calling for protection in
what they claim is “their rights,” are the
localoystermen, and yet these men have
been the first to take out the river’s seed and
sell them to outside parties. In view of all
these facts, the subject being purely public,
it is not improper to name a few of the
gentlemen who have made themselves cou-
spicuous by their inconsistency, viz z—Eli

this provision is not understood or else men
are inclined to infringe it, for almost every

consequently a destruction of kinds of fish
which the law seeks to protect. Those who

One of the fraternity mournfully relates his
experience during the late heated term:
Lager beer is ruining the profession. No
demand for fancy drinks; neither milk
punches nor mint juleps are called for, and
even lemonades have gone out of fashion.
“Five years ago,” he says. “a beer keg hadn't
no place behind this bar, and, on a day like
this, there’d be four or five of us a-tossing
mixed drinks for fifteen to twenty-five cents
aglass. Nowit’s all beer, and they’d mob
us if we charged more’n five cents. 0, there
ain't much more call for 'a skilled bartender.”

Echo Farm Herd,Litclifield, Ct.
Though this herd of Jerseys is so exten—
sivel y known as large milkers, and pro-
ducers of butter which commands the high—
est price ($1 per pound,) one of the cows de-
serves special uotice. '
Filbert, (Mr. F.Jlatchford Starr's famous
Centennial prize cow,) dropped her last calf
October 25th, 1878. Her milk, from the
morning of Octbber 27th to the. evening of
June 28th, (eight months,) weighed 8,466;
pounds. The weight of the cow was tested
four times during the eight months, and was
as follows: 1,095 pounds; 1,035 pounds;
1,060 pounds; 1,030 pounds. Total, 4,220
pounds, one-fourth of which makes her aver-
age weight 1,055 pounds, so that she gave
during the eight months, more than eight
times her own weight in milk. '
Her milk for three-days in November last
made 6% pounds of butter, and although due
to calf in less than three months (September
14), her milk on the 20th, 2lst and 22d of
June made 4 pounds 5% ounces of butter.
3 It will naturally be asked, how was Filbert
fed ? Mr. Starr is exceedingly particular in
not over-feeding his cattle. His chief aim is
to make them good, healthy breeders, rather
than to force milk from them.
gFilbert, when in full flow of milk, had a
daily allowance of 4 quarts of feed (ground
corn and cats in equal parts), and two quarts
of bran. This was more than the usual sup-
ply, but was deemed advisable, owing to her
large yield of milk. As soon as advisable, it
was reduced to 2 quarts of feed and 2 quarts
of bran per day, which was gradually further
reduced till she was put out to pasture in the
spring, when the feed was taken off, and
only 1 quart of bran allowed each day—a
pint morning and evening.
.A moderate supply of hay, and a very few
beets, made up her winter food.
:Filbert. dropped March, 1874, is now giv—
ing 26 pounds of milk per day, and is a. wor-
thy daughter of Mr. Starr’s famous bull
“Litehfield,” which our readers will remem-
ber won the special first prize as the best Jer-
sey bull at the Centennial Exhibition. He
isin splendid condition, and proudly heads
the Echo Farm herd.
We learn that ex—Gov. Seymour recently
visited Echo Farm, and pronounced the herd
the best he ever saw, the animals being much
larger than the average run of Jerseys. Such
commendation, from such a scour-cc, must
indeed be gratifying to Mr. Starr.-— The
Country Gentleman.

Mr. Wiliam 0. Prime writes to the Jour-
nal of (lawman-4;,1 the following sensible sug-
gestions about Ne w England roads z—f‘It is a
common barbarism of our roads that solittle
attention has been p.\id to the danger ensuing
from" the cluse 'prox'im‘ity of railroads. ‘Many
railways have been ccnstructed along tle
lines of old wagon roads, and the two roads
still rim parallel, close together. Innumer-'
able accidents result. The most sober of old
and many horscs'will never becomeaccuse
tomed to them.‘ If a railway is laid out by
the side of a carriage'ioad _a part of the
expense ought to be the construction. of a
new carriage road at a‘safe distance froniit.
The road from West Bethcl to Bethel is an
example. It crosses the track several times
in four miles, runs parallel with it a long"
distance close beside it, and it is especially
dangerous from the blind character of the
crossings. In my New England drives I
have found, scores of - places, where the
people live and ride in daily danger, and yet
we call this living in a civilized country. In
cities we have men empowered to compel the
removal of dangerous walls and structures
which may fall and injure people. There is
a great necessity in all our country for com-
missions to examine the safety of public
roads, and especially to compel railway com—
panies to make their lines safe, not only to
travelers on them, but to travelers near,
and across them. I have found within a
week five or six railway crossings in woods,
where I cOuld not see up or down the line to
know if a train were coming, where the ear-
riagc road in each case ascended to the level
of the rail by a steep sandy pitch up which 'no
horse could trot. In such a case, if a train
were approaching, it would not be heard un-
til the horse’s heads were well up the ascent.
Then, if you pull up, the train flashes across
in front of you, your frightened horses back
down or plunge aside, and the railway denies
responsibility for the result, which is likely
to be nearly or quite as bad as if you were hit
by the engine. In the name of all farmers,
all men who use horses, all who travel or
ride for pleasure,I desire to make my protest
against this barbaric style of building Amer-
ican railways without regard to local rights.

who would die in a very few minutes. The
patient was stripped naked, placed upon one,
of Dr. Kidbes's fever cots, which has _ a net,
work cover and india rubber receptacle be-
neath, and sprinkled with ice water. from a
sprinkling can for two hours and ’ a quarter.
At the expiration of that time the . tempera-

ceased, the temperature of the body returned
'to the normal heat in health, the fever disap—
peared and the patient fell into a gentle sleep.-

Does Barnum think mules can win back

. ‘ . ' .
Can this be true. _
Romances in real life are not very uncom—.
mon, if the papers tell the truths. It is Lou-
isville’s time now. On the, 7th of last Sep-
tember a young man calling himself Gilbert
Doane was employed by J ; ~M.‘ Rurey, 'of
Fifth street, as coachman. He wasochmely
person and attractive department, and per;
formed his duties to the entire satisfaction Of
the family. In that family were two daugh-
ters, one of them in the full bloom of rosy
womanhood, the other “standing withsrelucfi
taut feet where. the brook and river-:meet.”
Either both or one of these young Deane was
constantly driving, and consequently saw
* much of the girls, who did not scruple now’
and then 'to exchange a pleasant word with'
him. Thus matters went- on until last Feb;
ruary, when the elder girl married. Donne
and the younger girl after this saw more of
eaclrother alone than ever. Lani: week she
too married, and the happy man was—well,
he was not the coachman: 'iHe' is still com-
placently driving the carriage, as if nothing
had happened. People may not believe this
story, but, if necessary; we are willing to go
before a notary public and ' make oath as to
its strict truth—Louisville. Courier—Journal
Mexican Climate.
After living in this enervating climate
awhile, a man sits ,down under a‘palm-tree
and waits for the ravens‘to' bring 'him his
dinner. And the ravens, are very.slow,with
the dinners in this country. Up on the table?
lands, and in Mexico City itself, the climate
is not so enervating; it is more productive
of rhumatism and toothache. Here. is a
climatic bill of fare: 9 a. m,, getting up,
time, very chilly; 10 chilly; 11, comfortable;-
12, noon, warm; 1, very warm; 2'hot; 3,
very hot; 4, cooling ofif ; 5, comfortable; 6.
cool; 7,cliilly; 8 very chilly; 9, overcoats;
10, ring bell for blankets; 11, blankets-
liavn't come; 12, 1, 2, etc., freezes all night.
They keep telling you all the time here
that in this country a man can have what-
ever ,climate he wants-warm, cool, hot,
cold or temperate. So he can; but he is
obliged to take a great deal of extra climate
with it that he didn’t order and don’t want.
Mexico City is almost asdifferent from Vera
Cruz as it is from New York. Vera Cruz is
more like Havana, and the people spend
most of their time trying to keep cool. ' In
Mexico City half the time is spent in trying
to keep warm. As .far as m xperience
goes there is not a fire-place - the city,
and when a norther comes and it grows cold '
there is nothing to be done but sit and shiver,
unless you put a fire-place inside, at fifteen
cents a fire-brand, with a headache thrown
in. Iha've often, when prowling about at
night, seen a dozen Indians sitting around 'a
big bonfire in a field trying to keep warm;
so often that I believe that whenever they
get too cold in the house they go out in the
country and build a fire—with stoleu‘; fuel. of
course—Letter from Mexico.
