Thfc value of the hide, tallow, heart, head and liver of a beef will amount to a lan arge 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 ing that is not butchering, and it may Ik* taking the right done painlessly by course. The bam floor or a clean grass plot In a convenient spot is suitable for the work.

The place for tho stunning blow is the center of the forehead, between tho eyes and a little above them.

A little method Is worth a great deal of memory at the farm aa else where. 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. Two Pictures.

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.

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 tic rights ill trade-marks are secured hy federal registry they will he impaired hy this'decision, but it must not Ik? over looked thnt the right of property in ogm vl hy tlu flow Franco Treats Amorim. 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. Fcuta of Baring. 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 mounted ith- ■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. £200, About tho same time a Mr. Earle, of Atlicnrv, in the County of Galway, redo for a heav ier wager over the bridge of Alhlone, a 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 Heart of Oak, for £300 over the race course of Rahusuc without spur, saddle wearing or fi r *^*°* guiding his liorso with Im- vv’iiliit whip at racing speed and clearing fi V U,,U .U..I1J V..- I... five-foot double stone walls. Nor havo these feats of daring been confined to Galway. In the town of Waterford tho Ute rather notorious Marquis of Water ford, whose pranks during a visit to New York, York, some thirty years ago, many will remember, redo bin horse, Mueskin up the steps of tho Waterford Hotel, in through tho hall ami out of tho hack window—a jump of twonty-fivo foot. A second crop of blackberries has Alvan Clarke, in CamuridgeporL au ii far- * a right, which the courts will protect, in the distinctive mark by which he designates his goods. The col lapse of tlis special registry net for un- constitutionality simply makes the pro tection of trade-marks more difficult, hut it does not deprive them of value, and the law still stands ready to guard cus tomers against the fraudulent use of trade-marks. There will l>c a general inter The federal statute in the attempt apparently to assimilate the rights of invention and trade-mark, two widely different things, and was cur rently bused on tho power given congress to provide for patent nnd copywright unu to regulate commerce. Tho "Bracket” Fish* The genius of tho Whitehall Timet hns caught the following fish by the uuo of a bracket line: "M: Bick?” “ Sick?' 1‘ havo been Bick, nud S ou’d bo sick, too, if you hud ridden fiv« ours in a railwuy carriago with youi buck to the engine.” “ But why didu’t you change »eata with somebody?” “ How coula I?
