St ). v. B.
Who wouldn't be a fireman?
And wear a flannel shirt, . ,
Aqd run of nights all over town,
And at parades to squirt.
To wear a hat that weighs nine pounds.
And deftly handle hose;
Oh! When f see them squirting,
; Don’t ! wish that I were those?
% v
And when in idle seasons
They choose to go. from home,
They are sure to find a welcome
In whatever parts they roam.
There are speakers to receive them,
And speakers to reply;
While many a lusty shout goes out
Pibifi throats of standers by.
There are some who work the engine breaks
Prom pure sense of duty;
And some fur glory at parades,
To win sweet smiles from beauty,
Some different aim impels each heart,
To fight the fire’s fury;
But most methinks, about this town;
Go in to dodge the jury.
I’d like to boa fireman
On just such days as these,
When a fellow Is fitting for parade
Can dress himself at ease.
When, -after squirting is over,
They all sit down to wine,
Abd choice Viands flank their plates-*
i’ll take red shirts in mine.
But When in dead of Winter .night,
The wild alarm Is spread.
A fellow Starts from sleep in fright,
Ahd leaves a nice Warm bed,
And hurries oh his boots and punts,
(Perhaps hindsides before,)
Ahd stumbles over chairs aud things
On rushing fat the door.
Olil sad to say, In hours like t his
Parade days are forgot;
Bo then to be a fireman,
I think I’d.rather not.

established than that it Will ttOt puy to
keep poor stock, when it is possible to
secure that of a better quality. A few
years since tbe HgC for Durham, Alderney,
Devon and other breeds of cattle prevailed
very extensively throughout the country.
FabtilobS prices were paid for superior
animals of these breeds; ami there appear
ed to be a fait prospect of something; like a
refdrth id the Matter of stock raising. Like
so thatiy other movements in agricnlture,
this Spirit of improvement has subsided,
and we find our farmers relap&ed into their
former apathy. Should this be ? The cost
of keeping in inferior cow is precisely the
same as that of a better one. A- good
horse trill always Command A better price
In the market, or is more trainable to its
owner for his OWfl purposes-1 bah a poor
one. l?he dost of keep is the same.- Why
not, then raise the best norsesf There are
breeds of sWiiie that gh>W rapidly and
fatteu Upon much less food; arid ill a short
or time than others. Why not procure
these improved kiuds ? The Sadie tbay be
said of sheep, poultry and ill fact* every
kind of farm Stock, and yet We find
thousands of farmers* in the face of these
incontrovertible facts arraying themselves
;ih steady hostility to all movetflefits hairing
for their object the improvement of do*
meatiejarm animals. They cling to the
inferior stock With a pertinacity that is
the matter is their unwillingness to make
the first investment; Fifteen dollars apiece
Seems to be a lsrge price to pay for tiro
months' old Chester County White pigs,
when commoner animals can be bad at one
fifth the price* but ail experience proves
that in the long run the best are the
cheapest; Were it possible to overcome*
this indisposition to make the first o'dtlay,
there Would be room for indulgence of the
hope that our farm stoek generally Would
improve in character ThiS will be

fact that it does not pay \b keep pobr

Washington, May 3, 1869.— The N h ;
Department to-day received dispatches
f oiii Rear Admiral T. T. Crarefi, dated
Mare Island, March 31, enclosing, reports
from Commander Meade, of .the tJniUd
States steamer Saginaw, of his operqti oll *
in Alaska, where that vessel has been sta
tioned for several montlm. Among the rfl* *
ports is one relating to the destruction of v
certain villages ttnd stockaded forts belong*
ing to the Kake Indians as punishment for
the murder of two American tradesmen,
Ludwig Maager and William Walker,
These two men left Sitka on a trading ex*
pedition in December last, and were killed
in revenge for a dative killed by a UnitwT
States soli l.r. Major General Davis, and
his chief of staff, Captain Mclntyre, ams
seventeen soldiers accompanied tlm expe
dition. ,
* lhe Saginaw arrived at Saginaw bay on
the 14th of February and destroyed a set*
tlemcnt on Kow Island leaving but one !
house, belonging to an Indian woumiu who
had ou several occasions aided the white* t
by acts of friendship. On the 16th de*. I
stroyed the villages on Kaupilanoff Island*
On the next day the salmon fiaherit* atol/
town » three villages, consisting of dmat;
thirty-five houses, eight canoes and two
forts were detroyed in all. It was believed
that the burning of the villages would Is >
a far greater punishment than the arrea*/
and executioq of the murderers, as the In* 1
dians in that region are said to place little
value or. life, and frequently compound for
a murder with a few blankets in their wars 1
with each other. The. houses cannot b# 1
replaced without great labor and timeT
Ihe Kekows, or Kakes, hate long' bcirM
notorious as a bad tribe, and their murder of
-Mr. Ebbey, United States Collector, and the
crew of the Royal Charlie, had never been
avenged. The.lndians had abandoned their
; settlements on the approach of the Saginaw;'’
Commander Meade reports that while on
the expedition he entered a bay on the
northwest end of Kow Island, which from
its advantages as a harbor, lie named “Sc* 1
euvity Bay,” aud the anchorage “Sung
Harbor” The bay is about six and a half
miles in extent, with an average depth of
ten fathoms to the anchorage, and from
nine to three fathoms elscwhre. Conmian*
der Meade considers It the best rendeavoua ’
possible for a whaling fleet—superior to
Sitka—and a better site for a military poqt
than Kootfl'Kaboo, It} has never bef.»r«

to its resinous quality the coal is considered
