Thfc value of the hide, tallow, heart, head
and liver of a beef will amount to a lan

portion of the price that can be usually
obtained in country places for an aired
cow or young steer, and if well fed the
old cow will often produce as good beef
or bitter than the steer. Farmers would
of tenor consume their own animals, in
stead of selling them, were they not de
terred by the want of knowledge of the
manner of slaughtering and dressing a
beef animal. There la a way of slaughter

The following remarkable fact concern
ing the visit of a crow to tho premises of
l)r. Round, of Norton, were told ua by a
member of the family: A few mornings
ago the household was awakened early by
a strange chattering thataocmed to co
from lho roof, and, on looking though a
skylight, a crow was seen perched there
upon the housetop, and very earnestly
talking to itself. Now ami then it would
call out “ George Shaw ” very distinctly
and nt other times the
would ho clearly heard. It tried its
vocal powers also at imitating tho liens,
and after tho family were nstii, it flew
down into the yard abd took the house
dog to task, ana gave him a sound scold
ing. Whilothere it seized a rocoanut shell
dipper from tho pump and dropped it
on the grass, where it seemed a good de.il
vexed because the dish fell bottom up.
On observing a team driven rapidly* past
ickly into a
the house the crow flew qu
tree nnd cried out: “ Whoa, boy! whoa,
boy!” The story of this remarkable bird
spread rapidly throughout the neighbor
hood, and many people came to see it,
and several unsuccessful efforts were
made to catch it. At last it was se
cured nnd placed iu a lien-houso, but
seemed to tiiink the imprisonment an in
sult until liberated, when it riew away
and lias not been seen since.

A Mountain-Sheep’s Head Imbedded In
a Pine Tree.
Quite n curiosity was found a fow days
ago near tho camp of the workmen on
tho new toll-road near Yankee Fork. It
is a mountain-ram’s head, deeply im
bedded in a pine tree, nnd about six feet
from the ground. The right horn is on
with tho curls partly around the trno, tho
lef thorn front of the skull and mot;t of tbo
outside, is covered with the growth of
wood. The tree is a thrifty puic, fifteen
inches through. How that ram's head
camo there will always remain a mys
tery to scientists, but inen of the nunin-
.‘aius, who aro familiar with the fight
ing propensities of the wild buck, can
easily explain it. The ram, whose head
is now n part of the troe, stood on tho
upper side, of the hill, while his enemy
stood near what was theu a pine tip
pling. When the present relic made a
rush nt rain No. 2, the latter stepped to
ono side, and the old warrior’s head,
coming in contact with the young tree,
split it wide enough for ono horn io
enter, nnd he was left dangling nt tho
mercy of his foe. Tlu* rest is easily
guessed. Tho survivor of tho fight delib
erately hutted his unfortunate adver
sary until there was nothing left of him
but the skull mid horns f ist in the wood.
Fred Movers, one of th • proprietors of
tho toll-road, will lmvo that portion of
the tree containing the ram'a head sent
to the Smithsonian Institute, it will be
a rare curiosity, and one Dial can not

the supreme court apparently cuts up the
dresent system by Uu* mot*. The ex
isting law provides lor the registry of
trade-iiriRk* at Wiishiiigten on the pay
ment of a fee of twenty-llvo dollars, and
gives the owner a trade-mark more effi
cient protection than is enjoyed even by
a patentee. A liberal prevision of the
law allowed the privilege of registry
to the trade-marks owned hy tlu* citi
zens of any country which permitted
registry to American trade-marks. Prior
l<» the’ pA*vi#e of the law tho recogni
tion of foreign trade marks had Wen se
cured hy treaties with tmino European
countries, ami conventions covering the
subject luivo*been negotiated with near
ly all European countries since 1870,
when the present trade-mark net was
adopted. So far as foreign nnd domes

Lucy Hamilton Hooper, in tho Phil
adelphia Telegraph, after commenting
upon the recent banquet given by tho
friends of tho Franco-American Treaty
of Commerce nt tho Hotel Continental,
roceoda in tho following manner
largo, for instance, that our cotton goods
are positively prohibited in France?
Not a yard of our muslins, prints, sheet
ings, are to be bought iu Paris, while tho
English cottons are admitted free of
duty, thus showing a specially hostilo
legislation directed against us. What
would tho French free-trader say, I
should liko to know, if wo prohibited
their silks und let in those of Switzer-
wines in favor of Italy? Silverware and
as much ns nn American family
their private stock ol spoons and forks.
Our cutlery, too, is contraband, and as
to our drugs, chemicals, etc., tho list is
too long to quote here in its entirety.
And it must bo remembered that tlieso
severe restrictions nro not general, but
are enforced against certain nations only,
among which is the United States, and
that at tho very head of the list. It is
to Ik? honed that our legislators will not
permit tlio wool to he pulled over tlieir
oyes by the dextrous fingers of any band
of clever Frenchmen. I would bid
them, however, to look sharply to what
tliey do, for of all ‘smart’ people on tho
face of the earth (to use a genuine Yan
kee epithet) these French are tho smart
est. Tliey could give tho typlcul Yankee
aix points at his own game of specula
tion, and then could beat him easily.

Some sixty years ago, a wager of .Cf)00
was laid that no ono would 1m? found to
leap over tho west bridge of Galway, nt
a certain point, a descent of twenty feet
at full tido. The wager was accepted bv
John Kilroy, the proprietor of a well-
known sporting hotel in tho town, who
at tho apiMiinted hour and place appeared
,ed on his black mare Moll. Tho

■iigl* a pasture near her ho
she attracted the attention of a herd of
cattle, who seemed to bo enraged lit tho
sight of a red shawl which she was wear
ing. rihe became ulnrined, mid started
to inn away, when tho whole herd gave
clmse. After running a short distance
she fell, exhausted. Parties who wit
nessed the chase hurried to tho rescue of
the woman, and even in time to prevent
tho cattle running over her after slio foil,
but she died from the effects of her
fright whilo being taken to her home.

same time a Mr. Earle, of Atlicnrv, in
the County of Galway, redo for a heav

descent of fifty feet to the Hhaimoii, and
was carried safely to tile banks. On an
other occasion, not more than twenty
years ago, Sir. John Dennis, Master of
the Galway Blazers, rode his horse
