A number of men engaged to work on

Mr. J. B. Haverly of lower Fifteen Mile,

feel very hopeful of a fine harvest.

From the Hartford Weekly of May 4
we learn that a salmon weighing 10
-pounds was caught on the 4th inst., at
old Saybrook, near the mouth of the
Cohneticut river which was sold for $10,

finest salmon in the world are being now
sold at from 2. to 4 cents a pound

Uncle Jemmy Farris has stinted a
"'small fishery of his own. He adjures
nets and wheels and traps of all kinds
and simply uses moral suasion and
nothing else. He persuades the fish to
catch hold of a small hook he has on the
end of a loner Iitia. anil irhan r.VtA - flah
shouts "all ready" Uncle Jemmy gently
lifts it out of the wet and strings it on a
stick. By the size of his string the other
day we think Uncle Jemmy must be
able to talk awful sweet to them.
The Snow-flake saloon, on Main street
was robbed yesterday, in broad day light
of clothes, money and various : knick
knacks to the value of $50. The propri

Allen's trunk in good shape.
The Iatst from the Portage Road.
From G. J. Farley, who returned from
-the -Cascades' last evening, we learn
Colonel Lovell was to commence the
survey of the portage road this morning.
The track from end to end will be nearly
a mile long. Doable tracks will be laid
at each end so that the loading and un
loading of cars at e ich end can go on at
the same time, thus doubling the capac
ity of the work of one locomotive. Mr.
Farley thinks by this means they can
handle 150 tons of freight an hour, but
old railroad men' shake their heads at
this estimate and say it cannot be done.
Be that'as it may we have got to be
content. 'Major Hand bury owns us and
the ground too and he won't let us have
any more ; so that's the end of it. We
hope the superintendent of construction
will see to it that standard gauge ties
will be laid so that if in the good - provi
dence of God the major should be re
moved from bossing the obstructions, we
might get permission . to lay a standard
gauge, if the need for such were found
to be imperative. Mr. Farley says as
soon as the survey and profile is made
work will be pushed with all vigor. He
thinks the work can be finished in
seventy-five days. This will run us in
to near the middle of August, and we
will be thankful if it is finished by the
1st of September.
. It is due: to Major Handbury to say
that he gave Mr. Farley permission to
lodge his men in the government bunk
house free on the condition, of course,
that they comply with the rules. The
mayor also gave orders in presence of
the governor and ' treasurer Metchan
that all courtesies should be extended
to the state officials.
Mr. Farley has full power to purchase
all necessary material and equipments,
and has orders from the commissioners
to complete the work as soon as possible
and he vows he will do so. The wharf
boats will the built by contract and it is
believed that the $60,000 will be suffi
cient to build and equip a narrow track
with a good substantial track and rolling
stock.
KoDgh Driving:.
It is a pity : some men could no be
made to endure some of the cruelties
they practice on their horses. If such a
brute could be hitched to a wagon, with
his eyes blinded, a harsh bit in Ids
mouth, and" another -man behind him
with a rawhide "whip, who, when he
wished him to start, gives him a cut,
and if he does not increase his speed to
suit, gives him several, or yanks his jaws
with the" reins with a force sufficient
nearly to break them. Such a dose of
his own kind of treatment would un
doubtedly teach him such a lesson as he
would temember. -It is a wrong and un
reasonable way of starting a horse, says
the Ifamess Gazette. Common sense
should tell any one thai a horse should
be started, urged forward and stopped
by the voice; and that resort to the whip
should never be had, unless absolutely
necessary, A. horse then knows what is
required of him, and the annoying and
dangerous habit of suddenly, starting
and jumping is avoided. A great ma
jority of the spavins, sprains and ring
bones, not to speak of the heaves, and
numerous other horse ailments, are
caused by such rough and thoughtless
driving.

An interesting and really notable
musical and vocal entertainment was
given recently from New York to a very
large audiedc assembled at the Grand
Union hotel, Saratoga. '
As our readers wilt ' conjecture, the
audience,' which numbered at times no
less than 800 people, was brought en
rapport with the performers by means of
a "long distance" telephone circuit run
ning a distanee of ' 180 miles from 18
Courtlandt street, New York to Saratoga.
From Cortlandt street a circuit had been
run to the Madison Square Garden, and
the concert being given by the Strauss
orchestra was taken in alternation with
the other numbers of the programme,
which comprised selections by the long.
distance. ' orchestra, flute ana cornet
solos, a whistling song, and glees by
members of the technical staff, one of
whom also recited Tennyson's "Charge
of the Light Brigade." " The orchestral
music was listened to' at Saratoga by
means of sets of hand telephones, and
every note was heard distinctly, even to
the applause of the audience of the audi
ence gathered at Madison Square. Some
of the Bongs and solos and the recitation
were heard all over the room at Saratoga
by means of a single loud-speaking re
ceiver provided with a large fitnnel
shaped resonator to mgnify the sound,
great delight .was expressed by the
audience at Saratoga with the evening's
entertainment, ana the exhibition was
considered one of the best and most suc
cessful that has yet been given over the
long distance company's system.
A very novel vnd striking use was
made of this telephonic concert by Mr.
A. S. Hibbard, who happened to be en
tertaining a number of his friends at his
residence in Morriston, N. J., the same
evening. Mr. Hibbard's private tele
phone line was connected at Cortlandt
street with the circuit running to Madi
son Square Garden, and the strains of
the famous orchestra were heard so
plainly in the house at Morristown that
dancing was carried on to the. accom
paniment with perfect ease and comfort
by the guests there assembled.
If some one had told Herr Strauss that
his orchestra' was . playing foi dancers
who were enjoying themselves at Mor
ristown, some twenty or , thirty ' miles
distant, the information would probably
have been received with sheer incred
ulty, yet such was actually the case.
Two Strauss waltzes "were " enjoyed by
Mr. Hibbard's guests, and afterward
the orchestra at Courtlandt street was
switched in, and dancing was continued
by the music of the less ambitious band
of performers.
We believe this is the first instance
recorded of the transmission of music by
telephone with, sufficient volume and
clearness for dancing to be indulged in
by the listeners.

secured todav the approval by the sec

Handbury, with the understanding that
if it were deemed important by the

and he lived for many years afterward.

Baby is sick. The woeful expression
of a Des Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when he inquired of a
druggist of the same city what was best
to give a baby for a cold? It was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
We eive our babv Chamberlain's Coush
Remedy," was the druggist's answer.
"I don't like to eive the babv such strone
medicine," said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Watters-Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the druz-
gist. "His baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's
uough Kemedy and drank the whole of
it. Of course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not iniure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba-
Dy. s cold. The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himselt, and was now satisfied that there
