An exchange says there is disposition on
the put of many breeders ahd stock-growers
to confun the two terms, "grade" and
"cress." These two, however, should by
no means be indiscriminately adapted in
many various classes of cattle. If under
stood properly a "crass" is indeed in one
sense a thoroughbred, for sire and dam in
this case are both thoroughbreds. For in
stance, the calf of a thoroughbred Shorthorn
by a thoroughbred Hereford, is a. "crossbred'
animal, while the calf of a native cow with
a taceccghbred sire, is strictly a grade ap
proaching according to the number of cross
umL it taking: three to make a thoroughbred
entitled to be registered in the herd-book.
Bat yet a calf by thoroughbred sire with
a native cowcould be called crow between
a thoroughbred and a native.

It was the first year of wsr, and the military
misfortune which began with Big Bethel
and were followed by Bull Bun and other
defeats, had done much toward depressing
the spirits to tbe people. Accordingly Lin

tional humiliation, fsstening, and prayer,

country which had been kept out of con
trol of the rebels. Sept. 26th, 1881, was the

CspC Brady, and Lieut. Nichols, of the
23d infantry, are at Ft. Leavenworth. Tbe
officers take part in tbe shooting tourna

Dodge City begins to boom more than
srer. Tbe great stock interests surrounding
ber very naturally keep things lively, but
the new impetus b caused by the fact that
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road
will make a number of improvements there
very soon, which has had the effects advanc
ing real estate rapidly and also in increasing
the number of projected buildings. Lear.

A maty old bachelor in Great Bend not

It is asserted a a fact that tbe com crop
