Story.

A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT.Mr. Goorgc Simpleson; junior,

might well have been described as a favored son o f fortune.

Tho only son of a rich merchant he had been educated at Harrow and Ox­ford.

Shortly after leaving college he had fallen in love with a beautiful girl, the daughter of a business acquaintance of Mr. Simpleson, senior*, b o that the' two fathers had put their heads, or rather their purses,^together, and had started the young couple in life, which the same start took the shape o f a handsomely furnished villa at Putney, and a liberal aocount at the banker’s. And yot Mr. George Simpleson was not contented. In the midst of all his comfort, with a lovely and accom­plished wife, this Sybarite was not without the crumpled rose leaf to dis­turb his rest. And what do you think, reader, was the thorn in the side that made Mr, Simpleson imagine he was a miserable man ? Nothing more or less than his handwriting. At Har­row he had been taught Latin anil Greek, but writing was not deemed a necessary accomplishment for a gen tleman; or perhaps they considered that it ought to come intuitively. At all. events, he had not been taught the mysteries of tho thin up stroke ana the thick ^down, the graceful curve and the various.other minutiEB o f the art of caligraphy.

A t Oxford- he had not found it nec­essary to perfect himself in penman-, ship, and consequently he still re­tained a peculiar*colleccion of strange­ly formed hieroglyphics which he honored by terming his “ writing.” Mr. George Simpleson, senior, was continually complaining about his son’s “ wretched scrawl.” His father in-law, Mr. Manvers, never let pass an opportunity of expatiating upon' the benefits of a plain, commercial hand.

It was in vain that George tried to persuade them that bad handwriting formed one of the outward and visible signs of a gentleman. Even his wife added her mite to his misery. She wrote a beautiful baud, and perhaps in hopes of achieving a reformation, ’she often compared the two together. A t length these constant comparisons made George so intensely wretched: that he hated the sight of pen and ink and paper; and one evening, after a. particularly vexatious lecture from; Mr. Manvers on the wickedness of wasting a business man’s tirae^which was his money) by writing what no­body could read, he went to bed fully determined to do something.

On the morning after arriving at this determination, and while he was still warm on the subject, he happen­ed to be reading the paper at break­fast, when his eye foil on the follow­ing advertisement:

HandvtiitinCt.—Genklomen of any age are taught allowing and graceful • hand­writing in a few easy lessons. Book­keeping by double .and single entry.

. Then followed the name and ad­dress of the toachor.. George could scarcely refrain from giving vent to an exclamation of joy. He took down the address, determined to have a dozen lessons at once. He would i?ot tell his wife, though. He would wait until he had acquired a .“ flowing and graceful handwriting,” and then he would surprise her, and enjoy- her amazement. Accordingly, after

.breakfast he dressed himself and pro­ceeded to town.

• A t leDgth'he completed ‘ the prc-. scribed course, and the t-riamphaht' professor* making him sigu his name on a scrap of phper, campared it with- a. signature-he had written before com-, menciug his lessons. And certainly the Difference was wouderful. No­body would have believed .them to have emanated’from the same fingers/'

George hastened home full of.'ac-'* complishment, and found .that his wife- had gone oat shopping. So,' writing! her a-short note;* he left’ it on tfie side,- table, and then withdrew' to his smj>l^

came sailing into the room, swelling with indignation, and with her hus­band's note in her hand.

“ Dear George,” said she, “ some 'impudent fellow has dared to write to me and invite me to dine with him this evening!”

“ Well, my love,” replied George, “ and shall you accept it V

“ l am surprised at you, George! Of course not. You ought to find out tho name of the writer and— and-— and thrash him.”

At the idea of having to thrash himself, George could retain his grav­ity no longer, but burst out into a hearty laugh. And then, in reply to Mrs. Simpleson’s look of wonder, he explained the apparent mystery, and, to prove his words, wrote another note to the same purport in her presence.

The next morning at breakfast his wife said:

“ By-the-by. George, I want a little money to settle the accounts. Can you let me have any ?”

“ Yery sorry, my dear,” he said, gravely, “ but I ’ve hardly any change left; but I ’m going into town this morning, and I ’ll bring some back with me.”

Accordingly, when breakfast was over, he walked down to the station, and, taking the train, soon arrived in town. After making one or two calls and transacting some business, he proceeded to the bank to draw some money. Upon entering, he made his way to the desk usually occupied by a cleric with whom he was on speaking terms. Eut the desk Was empty. So, presuming he was at dinner, he moved down to tho next, which was occupied by the newly promoted cash­ier.

Taking out his check-book. George drew a check for §125 and handed it in. After he had returned his check­book to his pocket-, he noticed that the cashier seemed to be comparing it with some other papers in his desk, and then he thought he stared at" him rather suddenly. So, to hasten mat­ters a little ho called out:

“ I ’ ll take it all in gold, please.” “ One moment, sir,” replied the

cashier, who then beckoned the bank messenger over to him, and, giving him an order in a whisper, turned again toward George.

“ I am really very sorry to keep you waiting,” said he, “ but there is something not quite right, and I have had to send for somebody to rectify it. Ah, here he is ! Constable, I give that man into your charge for forg­ery.”

And the next moment George was in the rough grasp of a policeman, .brought in by the messenger. Oh, how he cursed the man who first in­vented writing! Then, in a voice that trembled, in spite of the knowl­edge that he was innocent, he said :

“ Oh, nonsense ! This is absurd ! I am M. Simpleson. Let me see Mr. Chance, the manager; he will recog­nize me.”

“ Mr, Ghance is away for his holi­days,” replied the clerk, “ and as for the absurdity of the matter, here is a check signed by Mr. Simpleson, and here is the one you juet drew. Why, any one can see it’s a forgery; it’s as diferent as chalk from cheese.”

“ Now, young man,” said the Con­stable, a George wa3 again about to attempt an explanation, “ if you takes my advice you'll oome along quietly and keep what you’ve got to say until you’re before the magistrate ; and re­member, whatever you say now will be brought up against y^r.”

Oh, shades of Cadmus ! And this was the effect of learning to- write !

“ Bat must I go through the streets like this ?” appealed George, in heart­rending tones.

“ Oh, you can have a cab,” replied the guardian- of the peace, “ i f you like to pay for it.”

Accordingly,- ja a feiT minutes, George, with bis coat-sleeve in the grasp of the policeman, accompanied’ by the cashier who preferred the charge, entered a cab and drove off to the police station-. Upon their arri­val George was led before the inspect­or on duty.

‘The cashier Bt-ated his case which;

ins-roohnk T»bss» mi taut M ri,. f l t a p i j r f

was entered upon the charge sheet. As Soon as the clerk had finished

talking, poor George again commenc­ed his explanations, asserting that he was Mr-. Simpleson, and, therefore, could not forge his own name.

“ A h ! very fine,” said the inspec­tor. “ Of course, if you are Mr. Sim-

He was accordingly supplied with pen, ink and paper, ar d in a few min­utes he had written a note and for­warded it to his father’s office.

Eortunately, Mr. Simpleson was in when the messenger arrived, and though considerably surprised at tho tenor of the note, and the writing, still he made up his mind to go to his son’s assistance. Just as he was leav­ing the office he met Mr. Manvers, (George's father-in-law*) who agreed, to.accompany'him.

Jumping into a cab, they speedily arrived at vine; and, while the in­spector was explaining the matter to Mr.' Simpleson, Mr. Manvers was shown into’ the’ oell where George was incarcerated. ■ fc ’ “ Ah, George, -my hoy,” said he, “ didn’ t I always tell you you’d come to a bad end if you did not learn to

before the sitting magistrate, and, as Mr. Manvers happened to be acquaint­ed with him, in a few minutes George was at liberty to return to his wife.

The cashier, o f course, made a handsome apology, and George hoped the matter was ended ; but, somehow or other, the affair became known to his friends and acquaintances, and it was many a long day before he heard the last of the consequences of hit- slight improvement.

Neighborly Affection.“ Jennie,” said Mrs. Jones to her

daughter, the other morning, “ go over to Mrs. Simpsons and borrow her flat iron.”

Tae girl went and returned without it.

“ Well, why didn’ t you get it ?”“ She said when you Bent her wash­

board home she’d see about it,” whim­pered the child.

“ She did ? The ungrateful thing. I ’ll see about it, too.” •

Putting on her husband’s old hat, and gathering-up her dress- in botn- hands, Mrs. Jones tramped across the street, growing redder and madder every step.

• “ How do you dare, Mrs. Simpson.” she yelled, as she pranced into the kitchen, “ how do you dare to send me any such word as ) ou sent me by my daughter ? Send your old wash-board home! You’ve forgot about them potatoes and that flour you’ve never paid back.”

“ I ain’ t forgot nothin’, Mrs. Jones,” said Mrs. Simpson, “ but don’ t you go to puttin’ on highfalutin’ airs aboutme. ‘Old wash board ?’ It was brannow whon I lent it to you, hut I ’ ll warrant it’s old enough now. You had better pay back them three draw- ins’ of tea, that cup of sugar, and that wood I let you have, when that drunk­en, worthless husband of yours was starvin' and freezin’ you to death.”

“ You’re a lyin’ hussy, Mrs. Simp­son, and I wouldn’ t brag of husbands. That one of yours is a reg’Iar still tub and you know it. The old hypocrite! He can drink a barrel and not shbw it on that old red face of his, and every­body knows you’re a slattern.”

“ Slattern yourself. Who’s got a filthier, dirtier kitchen than you have, I ’d like to know ? Where’s chat gam­blin’ brother of yours? In je.il, I ’ll bet.”

“ Where’s that sister o f yours that was no better than she ought to he ?”

“People who - live in glass houses shouldn’ t throw stones. I ’ve heard tales on that gad-about daughter Julia o f yourn, who tries to cut a big shine with her fine duds and feathers, and sich like, and her underclothes blacker than a cloud. The traipesin’ trollope, she’s after old man Baxter’s boy, but his mother has got too much sense to let him make a fool of himself by mar ryin’ her. You hear me, Mrs. Jones, your cake’s all dough there.”

“ You know a powerful sight about my business, Mrs. Simpson, and about everybody elses in this neighborhood, I’ll be glad when you leave, foi you keep us in an uproar all the time, and when you get to abusin’ your neigbors and betters, and refusin’ to -do by them as you’ d be done by, it’ s time for every decent woman to cut ypur acquaintance i ’ ll send that old ten- cent wash board home, and won't have any soap stickin’ to it, as I ’ve been in the habit of doin’ ."

Mrs, Jones jammed her hat down over her eyes, and was half-way across the street when this parting shot from: Mrs. Simpson reached her:

Prairie Bogs and Rattlesnakes,It has been heretofore stated that

prairie dogs and rattlesnakes form partnerships and live together in the houses of the former. A gentleman of this city who has carefully observ­ed habits and customs of the prairie dog villages says that this is a mistake. He says that in the prairie dog vil lage there are many houses that, for some reason or other, have been aban cloned by the dogs, and that rattle­snakes finding these vacant take pos session and use them for their dens. At first sight there seems to be peac> between the snakes and the dogs, but this peace is only a truce. The dog- are so much more numerous than the snakes and fight So bravely in defense o f each other that the snakes are afraid to make war on them about the villages. The prairie dogs are 60 peacefully disposed that they never attack any animal except in defense ; consequently rattlesnakes are tolerat­ed and let alone. Hearing a prairie dog make a great fu=s near a thicket ; past which he was ridiDg, this gentle man says that on reconnoitering he found a prairie dog defending itj young from the furious attack of a rattlesnake. He dismounted and killed the rattlesnake, which was five Beet in length, the two dogs, mean while, hiding in the thicket. Retiring behind the thicket ho watched the re­sults. The old dog came first from her hiding place, and, approaching the snake timidly, soon satisfied her. self that it was dead. She then ran to the thicket, and, lot-urning with the young dog, they run about the dead snake with every expression of delight. Leaving the young dog on guard, she ran away to the village, and soon returned leading a troop of at least 1(30 dogs. They held a noisy meeting over the remains of their enemy, many o f them spitefully scratching the dead body, after whioh they conducted the rescued mother and son home at the head of what was quite like a triumphal procession.

Luck.

Paris Pickpockets.Lucy H. Hooper says that the

Parisian pickpocket has invented a special mode ot theft. The thief enters the omnibus, chooses a seat beside some well dressed and apparently affluent person, and remains motionless, and apparently absorbed in his reflections. But between his finger and thumb he holds a very small grain o f shot at­tached to a black silk thread of ex­treme fineness and strength. When his next' neighbor opens his or her pocket book to pay the fare the thief adroitly throws his grain of shot into the pocket book, retaining the end o f the silk thread in his hand. His pocket book is closed and replaced in the owner's pocket,grain of shot and all. The thief profits by some extra­ordinary jolt of the vehicle to .fall against his neighbor, and in.that mo­ment he draws in the silk thread and gains possession of his prize.

One of our exchanges has the fol­lowing allegory, whioh we commend to-the car.eful consideration.of those gentlemen, -who, tho moment they see ^anything‘which displeases them in the columns pf their local journal, rush to the printing office and cry out, “ stop my paper,” It is certainly a new song upo.ti tho old subject : “ A cer­tain man-hit his toe against a pebble; and fell headlong'to the ground. He was vexed, and under the influence of anger; and self-sufficiency he kick­ed the earth right saucily. With im­perturbable gravity he looked to see the earth itself dissolve and come to naught. .But. the- earth remained, and only his--poor foot was injured in the encounter. This is‘ ‘the. -way of man.

Some people are fond o f denying that there is any such thing as “ luck,” but be that as it may, there certainly are persons to whom what seems like fortuitous good fortune comes. Col. Green Wilkinson gave a seat in his pew in London to an old gentleman who left him $40,000 a year. A young Bostonian crossed to England three or four years ago, and got into conversation with an elderly gentle­man who observed that he found they had the same name. It turned out that they were second cousins. The elder bad gone to Colifornia in the ear'y days, made a vast fortune, and entirely lost sight of his relatives. That-chance meeting gave the young Bostonian a fortune of between two and three millions. Two ladies had a box at the opera in London. An old man opposite bored them dread­fully by perpetually “ lorgoetting" them. The scene came to an end, and they thought no more about him. One day, a year afterward, a solicitor called on one of the ladies. Lady Frances Bruce, and told her that a> old gentleman, Mr. W-, had left her property worth several thou-and a vear. -**Never heard of the man.” sU said, “ mast be a mistake.” ‘ "Very extraordinary.” replied the solicitor. Suddenly a happy thought struck "itn. “ He lies in his Coffin in St. James street, close by, at Banting’s, the great undertaker’s, will you come and see' him ?” She went. It was the old lorgnetier,. And it i3 said that he left- it to her under a mistake after all, having intended to leave it to her friend, whom, and not liady Frances, he admired, but was misinformed as to the names of the ladie3. And to give one-more, a quite recent instance. A young New Yorker went to San Francisco to seek the fortune which so many have failed to find. He got a poor clerkship and had to be thank­ful for that. One evening- at a place of entertainment he watched a game of cards, saw that an elderly English­man was being cheated, exposed the fraud, and had a tussel with the cheat. The Englishman has presented him with $20,000 to start him in business, and there is every prospect that more are to come.

Keep Borax la the House.A writer in the Advocate: In the

laundry it is economical, as it saves both labor and soap, and is really cheaper than the latter. For blan­kets and other large articles it is es­pecially valuable, and in all cases the use of little borax will save half the labor when articles are much soiled. It is perfectly effectual in driving away red ants, cock-roaches, etc., if sprinkled around on shelves, or put in small quantities on paper ana-placed in the run-ways of the insects. Borax is also o f great value for toilet uses. For removing dandruff and cleansing the hair it is unoqualed. It is also a good remedy for rough face and chap­ped hands. ItB application to wounds, sores, bruises, sprains, etc., proves very salutary; and is often the only remedy required', even in severe cases, — Scientific Farmer.

A novel operation for consumptioj was lately performed upon Archibald ; Ohatterton, at Campbellton, N. ^ His right lung was softened and broi en down, with the exception o f small portion at the top. Dr. Ba’ com, o f that town, thinking that probably cou.d not recover, made deep incision in the young man chest at the lower end of the shoal er blade, and inserted a silver tab through which he drew out a largj amount of matter. He afterwar. washed out the cavity with disinfect { : ants- The patient was immediately relieved, his strength and appetitl increased, and he was soon able t| leave his bed and walk about.

Mr. Peduncle went out to milk the other day. Now, if there is one thing Mr. Peduncle prideB himselfl upon, it is his perfect command o f & cow. With his bucket on the ground he milks with both hands, and sings meanwhile, occasionally bestowing a word of warning upon the cow if she; whisks her tail at him or tries to scratch her back with her hind foot. On thi3 occasion he had nearly finish­ed, and was ■Singing cheerfully :

“ My soul (so now !) be on thy! JU'ird. ( What in the Egyptian sand- •dll* ails this cow ?) ”

“ Ten thousand (thunder and borax;•itand still.!) foes ari^t------- ’

And Mr. Peduncle raised himself up from the barn flior, and wiped the milk out of hia ears and nose, he saw up in the loft the wife of his bosom with a long switch in her band, with which she had been tickling the gentle animal’s nose, and she said in an aw- ful voice :

“ Oliver Peduncle, I reckon you’ll wrap your old tobacco box in my handkerchief again, next Sunday, won’ t ye ?— and have me to take it to church and sling it out on the floor hev?”

When he milks now, Mr. Peduncle he sings very softly, indeed, and keeps gne eye on the loft.

There is some serious talk among prominent ones o f opening the dis­cussion of the ■ president question again. It, were a pity i f Congress could not find something to quarrel over, at the public expense.

It is said that President Hayes will deliver to Congress a special message asking for legislation restricting the immigration of Chinese to this: country, leaving them to decide what action may be. necessary.

The. citizens of Illinois are becom­ing quite in earnest on the silver ques­tion, and meetings are being held in all parts o f the State, favoring remon­etization.

The children of ex-President John­son are erecting, a monument, to cost 08,000, over the graves of their pa­rents. The general design is an arch spanning both graves and surmounted by a shaft about 28 feet higb.

The foreign business of this coun­try, for the past year, gives a surplus of exports over imports of 0124,000,- 000, of which 0100,000 was on; mer­chandise produce. The prospect is that there will be a great increase over this the ensuing, year*

Cariboo, a new mining district in British Columbia, is now all the talk on the Pacific coast. It is reported that new quartz lodes are being daily struok, and the rock is of Unusually uniform character. A number of mining companies have been formed at: San Eranoisco to operate in Cari­boo*

The suit against Samuel J. Tilden, who was once a, candidate for the Presidency, to recover the income tax: he is supposed to have cheated the Government out of, still hangs fire, but will probably bo heard on Saturday next.

Kansas Correspondence.K ir w in , Dec. 26,1878.

E d . R ecord Dear Sir : Yourpaper reaches out here, and is wel­comed, too, I tell you. As I was reading your Kansas correspondence I thought perhaps a word from our part of the world would be welcomed by my many friends in Buchanan.

My father-in-law and family and myself and family started from Bu­chanan the 4th day of October, to come here with a team. The roads were in good condition when we start­ed, but two and a half days out it commenced to rain, and we had noth­ing but mud for seven long Weeks* I used up the team that I started with about half way here, and traded and got a fresh team; I think a better one than the one I started with. We; ar­rived at Kir win, Nov. 22d, tired out and willing to rest. We crossed; the railroad sixty-six times.passed through seventy-four towns and cities, Since I have been here I have traveled over about 400 miles of Kansas. I like the country first rate, and see nothing to hinder Kansas from becoming one among; the best States in tlio Union. The soil is good, water good, and I think there is enough; timber here to last till we can grow it. The country does not look as though it was very much settled, for the reason that the most of the houses are dug-outs, two logs above ground, with dirt roofs. You cannot see thorn till you got right on to thorn.

The receiver at the Land Office at Kirwin informed me to-day that dur­ing the month o f November over sev enty-seven thousand acres of land were taken, for actual settlement, and pat' ents issued for 9,000, who have lived on their land for five years. The en­tries have averaged over 500 claims a month for the past four months*

This is bound to be one pf the rich­est; valleys in Kansas. Bonds; have been voted to Oawkee City, forty-five miles east of Kirwin, for a railroad It will be completed by July 1st,, 1878. It; will in all probability reach Kirwin inside of eighteen months* Everybody seems to be contented here.

Wheat 60 cents, corn 20 cents, po­tatoes, 50 cents, rye 25 cents, butter 20 cents per pound, eggs 8 cents per dozen.

I have bean three times to the Land Office to enter land, and found; somebody ahead o f mo. Thero is plenty of vacant upland from eight to fifteen miles from Kirwin. Have got numbers for 28 quarter sections of land. I guess I am all right this time.

I have Hot seen a sick person since I catne to Kansas. The weather seems like spring here. Have not had more than an inch of snow this winter. I tell you it is better than wading in from; 12 to 18 inches of snow*

Yours respectfully,John A . H o l lid a y .

The workingmen’s congress, in open session at Newark, N. J., Dec. 29, expelled two members, Carl Savory and McGrady, for joining the; Repub­lican party, and censured President Strasser o f the international cigar- makers’ union for suppressing a dis­patch sympathizing with the New York cigar-makers’ strike. The name of the organization was changed to “ So­cialistic labor party.” Their1 platform recommends; the formation o f trades unions all over the land, and wants all the laws repealed against labor combinations, conspiracies, and strikes.

A large body of unemployed work­men in San Erancisco marched to the Mayor’s office Jan. 8, and demanded work or bread, suggesting that they he set at work on the streets or other public improvements. The Mayor stated his inability to take such ac­tion,, and counseled application to the benevolent organizations. His Speech was sullenly received, and the crowd of several thousand marched to the new city hall lots and were addressed by agitators, the substance of Whose speeches Was that they must help themselves by force if other means failed.

Another Wreck 1—One Hundred Lives Lost on the Chilian Coast.

Panama, Dec. 25.— The; Star and Herald has a letter from Lima giving the particulars of the loss of the steamer Alacama, which went to pieces on the rock known as Quiftbra Olas, a short distance south of Ool- dera, on the Chilian coast, on the night of November 30, The captain, all of the officers, and many o f the crew and passengers were lost. In all, 94 persons were drowned, and 30 were saved. The ship was on a trip from Valparaiso to Callao. She struck at S o’clock in the evening, when a majority o f the passengers were below, and so instantaneous was the breaking up o f the ship that no time was given to gain the deck. The cargo lost was o f great value, and the passengers were mostly Chilians journeying between the ports.

Mr. Kennedy, agent for the Pacific Steam Navigation Company, at Cha- naril, was returning from Valparaiso on his wedding trip. He managed to fasten a life belt to his bride and throw himself with her into the water, but, before they could extricate them­selves from the floating debris, a spar fell, striking the lady on the neck, causing instant death. The husband afterward reached shore, and the body of the bride was washed upon the beach.

The hodicB of Capt. Lambert and the puruser were recovered.

E d itor R e c o r d :— We have the most lovely weather : very warm; some rain. Have had no snow nor freezing ; grass 13 very green, and stock need no feed*,. Wheat is very firm in price, bringing readily 02.10 to 02.15 per cental. This has been a very favorable fall for sowing wheat, and a very large acreage has been sown. Trade is quite active here this Winter, and merchants are doing a very fair business*

Three men were drowned here last week. The Willamette river is very high, with very strong; current and tide.

A large delegation of Odd Eellows went from, here last week to Salem, 50 miles up the river, to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary o f Chemekita Lodge No. 1.

Our city is completely overrun, with thieves and robbers, and a large police force is kept busy day and night.

Our churches are largely patronized, by intelligent congregations, with a ministry second to no city of its size.

The old R ecord did not put in an appearance last week. It is a very hazardous trip to start from the quiet little city o f Buchanan, and cross the continent, 3,500 miles ovor mountains, plains and deep mountain gorges, then scaling the side of the moun­tains 1,500 feet almost perpendicular, then over bridges 105 feet high, whirling; through the gold fields of California, on past the Great Salt Lake, over the Great; American Des­ert, whirling by the sinks of the Hum­boldt, through, long tunnels and 50 miles of iron roofed snow sheds, to the summit of the Sierra -Nevada Mountains; then down the western slope, past scenery that would lavish the eye of thousands of your readers, whirling down through the grand old Sacramento Valley, past the Capitol, on through the Coast Range, until we stop short; in the Bay of San Eran­cisco, thence out through old Golden Gate, upon the billows of the old Pa­cific Ocean, to the mouth of the gi­gantic old Columbia, 100 miles up to the mouth of the Willamette River, thence 12 miles to Portland, where we all look-for its: smiling face every Tuesday.'

I ’ll Btuff your jacket with oysters, salmon and trout.

7F7iere«s, In this age of railroads and telegraphs, time enters as a very essential element in all business trans­actions and a large amount of it be­ing consumed in getting to and from our county seat by all those who are unfortunate enough to be obliged to do so, in its inconvenient location, and whereas, we deem it inexpedient for the best interests of this county much longer to favor the continuance of the stage coach mode o f locomo­tion to our county seat, however much we may individually admire it as a connecting link and memento of past ages, we deem it a slur and a stigma upon the enterprise, the ener­gy, the progress, the spirit of the country, and of the age in which we live. Therefore,

Resolved, That it is the sense fo this Board of Supervisors, that un­less in the near future there is some means provided more in accordance with the progress and spirit of the age to make our county seat more ac­cessible, it will become an imperative necessity to move it to some point on a railroad.

The resolution was adopted by a large majority.

AYadasii, Ind., D eo. S i, ,1§77, )A. K e p h a r t , Esq., Berrien Springs:

Dear Sir—Yours of the 29th has just reached me. I am very anxious to have a road built from some point on this line to the lake via Berrien Springs, and have no doubt but such a road will be completed next summer, provided the aid required is raised or guaranteed. Until further develop­ments appear, I cannot, however, tell at what point on this line to com­mence. Either Goshen or Warsaw would be favorable. A line from Warsaw via South Bend and Niles or Buchanan, would have much to.rec­ommend it, and furnish excellent out­lets v'Vx the Baltimore & Ohio or the

ttsburg, Ft, Wayne & .Chicago roads, as well assouth via the'Cin­cinnati, Wabash & Michigau. - If, therefore, Goshen or Elkhart do not assure the qu.ta of aid promptly, I think the requisite subsidies can be secured on the Warsaw .& South Bend line, and a route obtained which for business from Milwaukee and western lake ports will possess advantages superior to the Goshen line.

The tone of your papers asgure me that your people are all right, and if all shall prove satisfactory here, I will visit your place at an early day. Please advise me what amount of aid, you believe, can be relied on from your village and Buchanan, should that be made a point, as also which route (via Niles or .Buchanan) your people would prefer.

Indiana townships and cities can vote a tax of two per cent on all of their taxables. Please state as near as you can.what amount your township will agree to raise, .and give me a written guarantee, to)pay the money when a train of cars' is run into 3’our village. I am now in earn­est,'and must know very soon what can be done, as I shall put in my whole time on your road thii winter, and will continue to do so until the road is built. I think we can give you a road at a very early day in the summer if you do your part aiong the line. An early answer will oblige me.

There is so- •'"l of cr°P9’ 1 e” Pla" tin§ in, different portions of the f 0ITeld every two or three years, will

also baffle the in-t ct during the time oi egg-lnyitnr. B ufy or late sowing i f carefully managed, x. e., early sow­ing of spring wheat and late sowing o f winter wheat, it seems to ns, would work well. By swung early in the spring the wheat may be so welt ad­vanced in the early ssoimer as to bet­ter withstand the attacks of tho mag­gots; on the other has.d, if the wheat is sown as late as possible in the au tamn young wheat will avoid tho mag gots in the warm weather o f Septem her ; hut careful experiments are needed to establish these points. But after all, high culture on the farm, namely, plenty of good, rich, well- selected manure or fertilizers, is the best preventive against this or any insect, as in this way, the growth of the plant is rapid and luxuriant and it is enabled to throw off in some measure the evil effects of insects. Whenever a field turns yellow, it should at; once he plowed iu deeply or otherwise destroyed, so as to de stroj the maggots at work in the stalk.

In Europe th> re are certain small ichneumon paiasites which greatly re ducethenumbers of the Hessian fly. In one season in France 60 per cent, of the flies were kilted by parasites. In Germany the parasites one year de stroyed TO per cent., and it has been found that only the summer brood, not the winter brood that is thus dimin­ished, In this country the propor tion destroyed by these ichneumon parasites is only ten per cent. It would be a comparatively easy thing to import a large amount of the stub hie o f wheat fields o f France and Germany, or England, in all proba­bility, large numbers of the parasites could bo imparted and bred. Our national government shruld encour­age this work, aud though a commis sion of exports cause experiments of this sort: to be tried, as we doubt not it would he a means of saving annu­ally a proportion of our wheat.

Standing Water.Water is life-given so long as it is

in motion; its presence is fatal to vegetation when it is stagnant. Pro­vision for the rapid removal o f water that may come upon the fields should, not be neglected before the ground freezes or is covered with snow. This is peremptory for growing crops, and: advisable for stubble land, for water to percolate slowly through the soil will dissolve out from it and carry off muchsoluble fertilizing matter; all the ni­trates, which are so valuable, being the first matter that is thus lost. — Ohristian Intelligencer.

A method of extracting sugar from hay appears to have been just discov­ered in Germany. The inventor says hay contains 17 per cent, of its weight in sugar, and that the new process is warmly supported m“ influential,indus­trial circles.” It has just beau shown, however, that a meadow in fair condi­tion gives only five tons o f hay and after-math per morgen, which, at the assnmed rate o f 17 per cent, o f its weight, would give merely 850 pounds of sugar, whereas the 150 cwt. of beet-roots grown on the same area would give at least 1,800 pounds of sugar; or the sixty cwt. o f potatoes that conld bo grown on a morgen of land contain 20 per cent, of their weight o f starch convertible into 1,317 pounds of sugar. As a com­mercial speculation, therefore, ta- new invention cannot weil he profit ble.—Rural Neto Yorker.

When yon see a chicken a little droopy, and its comb getting dark, remove it at once and doctor it for cholera; its discharges are green, and, if it were allowed; to run loose, would spread the disease. As a pre­ventive we use a handful o f salt twice a. week in a wash-basin full of bran mixed with a little meal, and three times a week give corn at night on which a little coal-oil has been, poured —just enough to coat every grain and no more. Glean out your chicken- houses ; whitewash them and scatter carbolic acid around.—Poultry Jour­n a l

It has been discovered by a French ■shemist that the flesh of animals ,vrhiohJare killed in, the latter part of. the night will keep mnch longer with­out salting than it will when they are killed in the day time. This proves that the flesh is better fitted for keep­ing when the life and blood are taken from the animal, at the time the tem­perature is the lowest and respiration the less aotive. Hence the reason that the flesh from animals that have been highly heated or hard driven will scarcely keep at all.

A Heart-Kendin? Death.Particulara of a terrible death by

freezing bave reached here from the village of Goboconk, in RortU Yicto- ria, 120 miles northeast o f here. .Gn Saturday afternoon the twelve-year- old son of Mr. John Campbell, a farm­er living on Gruffit’s lake, north of Coboconk, saw a deer making aoross the lake on the ice, and, concluding that if tho ice could bear the deer: it would oarry him, started in pursuit. A quarter of a mile out from shore he suddenly went through, but after, des­perate exertions, during which his hands and legs were mangled by the keen ice edges, reached a rock in the very center of the lake. Here he cried for help, and his father and mother, with a band of neighbors, ven­tured out after him, but the ice wat frail and treacherous. ' Attempts were also made to reach him in boats and canoes, but without avail. It was bitterly cold, and as evening Set in the boy became numbed and weak. His cries grew fainter and fainter, while the efforts of those: on Shore were redoubled to no purpose." "As night fell he was Been to throw up his hands and tumble headlong into an ice-hole, whence he was soon drawn' under. He perished, in short, • from sheer cold and exhaustion in the sight of his parents. His body was recov­ered on Sunday afternoon.—rToronto ( Ont.) Qor. New York World. . .

Its.1 expressions against the opposing armies are not of the most amicable kind'. After pray­ing: for the Turkish arms, it says: “ Sweep from the surfaco of the. earth the infidels who "oppose us, thee,- and thy holy and true religion. They are buried in the gloom of impiety 'like hogs in a swamp, and yet: 'they dare to lift their hands agaiDst^thy''faithful people and thy prophet, Mohammed. Dissolve their alliances, disperse1 their troops, and pitch them into the depths of hell. May they and their riches become tho prey of those who believe in thee and thy prophet, and* with whom may remain the grace and ben­edictions of Allah !” * .

Byw liatlsaw and heard I gained some eonfi- deneo In Vcgetine.

During the past few weeks I had a scrofulous swelling as lar„o as my fist gather on another jiart o f m y body.
