N R. GEORGE M. MOORE has this day beep herd at Holker.

The Shorthorn Trade of i886,

The fall in the price of pedigree Short- horns, which has been going on ever since 1883, says the North British Agriculturist, by as been as great this year as it was last, iwhen, according to the Almanac of the | Live Stock Journal, the 36 auction aie - Shorthorns realized a total of £65,70 this being equivalent to an average of e357 19s, as against au average of about £43 Is for the year 1834. There has been ao still further drop in the average this season, as although the number of sales has imcreased considerably, prices have fallen very low, _the net result being that though 1,953 head ‘of pedigree Shorthorns have been sold they have fetched only £60,590 15s 6d, or less by over £5,000 than the 1,750 sold last year. The average, in short, has fallen from £37 10s to $31 Us 6!, and this is ‘almost as low as that at which it stood five or six years ago.. The nuwber of sales was 44, as compared to 35 a tweivemonth ago, the most important being that of the well- known Wilerby herd, which was broken up owing to the death of Mr. Booth. The demand for the Booth bioud is always very strong, and it is not surprising, therefore,

ito find that the 57 lots in this sale realised

£5,547, or over £97 each, the highest price being 330 guineas for a heifer of the Hecuba ‘family. This was not the highest indi- \vilual price of the year, as at a sale held in Cumberland a mouth before Mr. 8. P. Foster, who disposed of only a portion of his herd, obtained 505 guineas for a heifer of the Bates’ blood, this heifer bei ‘ing pur- oh wed fur the Duke of Devonshire’s famous The portion of Mr. Foster's herd which changed hands made the very satisfactory average of £85 0s 6c, whereas the portion of Sir Wilfred Law- |son’s neighboring herd at Brayton, suid on ‘the following day, averaged a little more ithan a tourth of that sum. The third best ‘sale of the year was that of Mr. St. John | Acker’s herd, the 49 animals in which aver- aged nearly £68 each; and of three other sales at which the average ex- ceeded £5), the most interesting was that of the Prince of Wales’ stock, held at Sand- ringham during the week of the Royal }Agricultural Show at Norwich. Ouly a ‘portion of the Prince’s herd was disposed of, but the gathering was a memorable one, including agricultural visitors from nearly all the British Colonies and from inmost European countries and the desire to obtain possession of something bred at Sandringham doubtless helped to raise the average. Still, an average of £60 12s 3d for nearly 70 lots spuke volumes for the ex- cellence of the herd ; and it may be added that the Prince of Wale’s Southdown sheep sold at the same time also fetched good prices. The lowest averages were those ot £16 for Mr. Singleton’s herd at York and for Mr. Whi'eford’s herd in Cornwall, but in nine other cases the average did not reach £20, so that the general aspect of the year’s sales is decidedly unfavorable. i+ <p <a ——

How the Reporter Saved Him. (Chicago Herald.)

** You may abuse newspaper men all you please,” said a robust chap in the smoking rovm of a sleeping car, ** but | want to tell you that I have a weakness for reporters. _A reporter once saved uy life.”

** How ?” ** Well, three years ago I thought I was dying with consumption. My friends | thought su too, It appeared to be a clear ie

*** Mr. Johnson,’ said he, * I understand that you are dying with consumption. Wall you please give me a histery of your life ?

* Well, gentlemen, but for that reporter I should not now bealive. I summoned all my remaining strength, threw the re- porter down stairs, slid down the banister and jumped on him before he could get up, pounded him into a black swe!'ing and then threw him into the street. hour later I heard he was likely to die from his in- juries, and so [ took the first train for the look

A Serious Oversight.

A correspondent writes from Cairns,

Queensland, to the Jronmonyjer as follows : ‘England ought te make bureslf better ae- quainted with colonial wants, otherwise she will lose agreat part of her colonial trade. Awmerica is pushing her hard in several lines, such as toels, agricultural implements, and rice machivery. A six horse power machine made iu the United States of America can be bought for $900. It is not perfect, fur it breaks the rice too much, Let England step forward and make a perfect one, and get the trade, for there will be a great demand fur rice ma- chinery in Queensland. Ourvehicles are nearly ali built in the United States of Auerica, sugar machinery from France, and steel rails from Germany. England cannot hold her own in saddivry; very few will buy an English saddle. You at howe by your actions seem to think you know our requiremeuts betterthan we do our- selves, but when you lose the trade you will net find itan easy watter to yet it back again, and you will lose it if you do not alter your ways. It would pay your manufacturers te send out some intelligent persons to see what the colonials requne.”

injury to the Brain.

A most remarkable accident, illustrating the necessity of using the greatest care in fixing cutting tools in machines, is reported in Science While a wood turner of San Francisco was at work at his trade, a steel chisel became detached from a grooving machine, and struck him in the head, pro- ducing a fracture of the bones of the nose, and severely injuring the left eye, so seri- ously as to destroy that organ and necessi- tate “its removal. After the removal of the eye, the surgeons found behind it a piece of steel 34 inches long, one inch wide at the centre, and tapering to sharp points at the

ends. One end was buried 14 inch in the brain. The velocity and force with which this chis-) must have entered the brain may he imay i when it is stated that the drum to which it was attached was making 2,300

revolutions a minute. The injury to the brain was uot discovered until several days afterward, and the man died at the tenth day.

The Fishery Question.

With reference to the reported interview in regard to the fishery question with Sir Lionel West, the British Ambassador at Washington, in New York recently, the im- pression prevails in offici il circtes there that a mixed commission similar to the one which sat in Halifax in 1672 will be agreed upon, and that the fishery question, inelud- ing such international difficulties as that in- volved in the headlands matters, will be settled forever.

A Car Heating Problem.

The recent accident at White River Junction has caused the passing of a reso- lution in the Connecticut Legislature,asking that the Committee on Railroads be in- structed to make a therongh examination of the methods empleyed in heating railroad cars in that State, and report whether le pis- lation is necessary to secure greater security to the public.
