Farmers haye commenced ploughing for wheat. A. B. CorFMAu. Ks-ox Co., July 27th.—Times dull in consequence of the strike. Great deal of wheat lying along the railroad for shipment, some In cars. Every body is wanting to ship for fear the prices of wheat will decline. Old corn scarce. Season rather wet for a good com crop. A. N. Halstead. Mabtih Co., July 25th.—Having seen nothing in the Fabmeb from these parts, I send you a card to let you know we are alive and kicking. Wheat is good and stacked in good condition. Oats good; corn looks well on rolling ground; flat land not so well. Farm hands get from twelve to fifteen dollars per month. Hog cholera plentiful. Long live the Fabmkb. Joan Milks. Flotd Co , July 24th.—Farmers' barns look like a boy's pocket in June apple time, and the boys can go to the circus again. The voice of the Brahma cock sounds much more musical than it did when we got but tight to twelve bushels of wheat per acre. The threshing man has a smile on his face as broad as a Quaker's hatrim. I think he will get a top buggy before long. The corn fields look like a cane- brake. All we need is bone dust and sinew. Frank Ott sells us the bone and we make the sinew. Jkbbt Mason. . Georgetown. Lawbeh-ck Co., July 24th.—Harvest is over in this county and the yield is good in everything except fruits. The click of the threshing machine is heard throughout the land, and the people feel confident of a least enough to eat for another year or eo. Your Harrison county correspondent desires information on the tadpole malady. They died here some three years ago, same as now at Lanesville, and we came to the conclusion after careful investigation, that they died for want of breath. J. T. B. Gbabt Co., July 27th.—"Wheat good; all thrashed and stacked. Oats flax and grass, never better. Wheat worth $1,00 since the strike; oats 20 cents; offering one dollar for flax seed; hay $5,00 per ton. Com promises well except on low unditched lands. Large crop of potatoes. Light average crop of hogs; not much hog cholera except in the north-east corner of Liberty township where it is alarming. Cattle scarce, worth from $2,50 to $3,50; hogs> $4, to $4,50. Apples scarce, peaches none. General health good. N. Habbis. Jone-boro, Ind. Wayne Co., July 23d.—I have read in your paper news from nearly all parts of the country, but have not often seen any from this part. I think the Indiaha Fabmkb does more for the welfare of the farmers than any other paper in the State. For through it .they can hear from all parts of this and adjoining States, and consult one another on different topics. Crops are generally good here. Wheat will average about 18 bushels per acre. Oats and flax are better than they have been for several years past. Corn will be a fair crop, but not so good as last year. There will be a general crop • of large frnit here, bnt every thing else promises well and farmers are cheerful. The temper- ,THE PERPETUAL HAY PRESS. ance tidal wave is sweeping over this part of the country and is leaving its marks plain. The majority of the people have signed the pledge, and wh-t few are left, seem to think "the fewer the guests the more wine left." May the day not be far distant when drunkards will be entirely unknown. No more at present. Long live the Fabmeb, its editors and patrons. A. R. Eadeb, Centreville, Ind. OHIO. Postage Co., July 26th.—Some of the fields of wheat thrashed went to twenty and twenty-five bushels per acre. Other grain crops good also, and com coming on fine. C. Comstock. ■ MICHIGAN. Hillsdale Co , July 28th.—The Clawson wheat is mostly grown here, and the grain is very good this season. Some fields will yield from twenty to twenty-five bushels per acre. Though in a gocd many instances the insects have damaged it considerably. Other crops look well. A. YD. R. KANSAS. Butleb Co., July 26th.—Wheat rusted here and was nearer a failure than for years. Corn excellent. B. 0. Osage Co., July 28th.—We have little or no wheat, as the insects ruined it. Corn will be a big crop. Oats are also very good. Subscribes. MISSOURI. Gbkeh Co., July 25th.—Our wheat yields 18 to 20 bushels per acre—fine grain. Oats are fair and com will be a large crop. Doty. Bates Co., July 24th.—Winter wheat goes over 20 bushels per acre.

R. Collius. QUERY AND ANSWER. Oar Q. and A. Departm***. We are glad to see this important department of our paper filling up of late. It can be made of great benefit if our readers will make use of it Only a cent is required to ask a question, the answer to which may be worth many dollars.—[Eds. FISH culttjbb. Will some of the many readers of the Fabmeb please tell me how and what to feed fish T Also what kind of trees are best to set ont for shade about a flsh pond ? W. M. F. Bloomington, Ind. SCHOOL ECB1P ABD LAND WABRANTS. Will you please be so kind as to tdve me information on the following: First, What can Indiana school scrip or land warrants be bought for per acre? Second, Can a person enter Government land any place in the United States with these warrants or scrip 7 Please give me information on the above through the columns of the Fabmeb, and oblige a reader W. 8. ' We cannot learn of any school scrip for sale in this city. Land warrants good in any State or territory where there are unoccupied lands, can be bought for 75 to 80 cents per acre. If our correspondent has school scrip and wishes to invest in land, he had best exchange the scrip for warrants.—[Eds . ; FULTZ WHEAT. 7b the Editors Indiana Farmer: I have raised the Fultz wheat for five years and I have never as yet seen any midge in it, while other varieties on the same farm were injured considerably. The Fultz has proved to be the best wheat for this locality that we have had for years. I have never raised less than 20 bushels per acre of it, and have raised aa high as 35 bushels per acre. I have 50 acres (my whole crop) this year, its quality this year is unusually fine. Corn in this, St. Joe valley, is backward. Potatoes abundant. Ploughing for wheat is the order of the day. S. W. Si-joke. " St. Joaeph county, July 21st. DUTIES CF NON-HATUBALIZKD CITIZEKS. 7b the Ediiors Indiana Parmer: Has an Englishman who is of age and not naturalized, and 2} years in the 20's, any right to work the roads, pay the poll tax, as it is called? There is a difference of opinion concerning it around here. An answer in your next would oblige A Subscbibeb. Your non-naturalized English bom citizen is under the protection of the TT. S. law, and is as much bound to pay poll tax or work the roads, as any other citizen. Naturalization would give him the right to vote or hold office-if elected, which he cannot do at present.—[Eds. BAGWOBT. W. H. B., this county, has handed us a weed that he finds in his meadow. It is new to him and to us. Our young botanical friend sends the following in regard to it: "The name of the plant you gave me is Sen- ecio Aureus; Golden Ragwort or Squaw-weed. It grows wild, chiefly in low, wet places. Is abont three feet high. Corolla is strap-shaped and yellow. The disk, or central part of the flower, is dark brown. The leaves vary in shape, and the stalk is slender and hairy. K. G. We showed one of the flowers, with corolla stripped off, to a tailor and he pronounced it a velvet vest button on first inspection. It certainly resembles one very closely. The weed ls useless entirely, and a' strong grower. It should be eradicated before it spreads over the farm.—[Eds. . i split HOOF. ; Will some of the readers ofthe Fabmeb give a cure for a horse having a split hoof. Whenever the hoof begins to heal it turns in and penetrates the flesh, thereby rendering the horse useless. Any Information for the unfortunate animal will be very acceptable. W.E.N. The ailment is something like what Veterinary surgeons call the sand-crack. To cure this disease, "Stonehenge," in his work on the horse says: "the foot must be rested, or at least that portion of it where the crack occurs, which in the fore fool may be effected by the nse of the bar-shoe, throwing the pressure entirely on the frog, and taking care that the crust behind the crack is not in contact with the shoe." Dr. Navin may have something to say on the subject in our next. ELISD STAGOEB8. 7b (he Editors Indiana Ibrmer: I have .i hog that has the blind staggers. His neck is stiff, and he goes around on a small piece of ground. He eats hearty .as a well hog, but cannot find his feed unless it is placed near his nose. He seems to be blind, but his sense of smelling is as good as it ever Was. What must I do for him ? A Fasmeb. For this disease Coburn, in his Swine Husbandry, recommends the following treatment. Give, at once, a teaspoonful of calomel; cut a slit in the skin on the head above the eyes clear to the skull. In this cut put salt and pepper to get up a counter-irritation. If this does not succeed, make a liniment as follows: take of spirits turpentine, capsicum and aqua ammonium, each one ounce, add half an ounce tincture of arnica and one-quarter ounce chloroform, place in a vial, shake well and rub on upper part of the head and betwe en and around the ears. We should use the liniment in the first place and reject the cutting treatment entire-, ly.—Eds. If you do not find the answer to your question on this page, look for it in its appropriate I column on some other page, or expect it in next number. tf. Hog cholera prevails in the vicinity of Edinburg. Over 1800 have signed the Murphy pledge in Wabash. Cass county is doing $75,000 worth of ditching this year. - The Tippecanoe Old Settlers will reunion in September—fourth Thursday. The Murphy movement is just beginning to take in Henry county. Wabash College has been fortunate of late in securing endowments. The oats harvest has begun. The yield will be large.—Benton Co. Herald. There are now 13,800 names oh the Indianapolis Pension Agency rolls. A circus and a gang of confidence men all but cleaned Columbus out Saturday. A liberal estimate places the value of the Howard county flax crop at $100,000. Three thousand five hundred people have signed the Murphy pledge in Jay county. They tell about seeing double headed snakes in Spencer county. Better sign the pledge. A horse is used in the mail service at Lafayette that once belonged to General Jackson. The distillery of the Bingham Bros., at Evansville, has been converted into a flouring mill. Indianapolis grain dealers lost 100,000 bushels of wheat in the fires at Pittsburg, Pa., last week. It is claimed that the wheat crop of Rush county will average twenty bushels to the acre. Hancock county has fifty-eight sabbath schools with an average attendance of 4,885 children. A match game of base ball between clubs composed of one arm men is the coming attraction at Kokomo. Wm. McCord threshed 15 acres of wheat this year which averaged 32 bushels to the acre.—Rockville Republican. The number of men now lying idle on account of the Pittsburg strike, in this city is about 1,200.—Ft. Wayne Gazette. Counterfeit half-dollars are beginning to abound, and a. ust be watched for by those who are co lucky as to get a whole half-dollar at once. A son of Mr. Lyman was shot by a pistol in the hands of another boy, near Lafayette. The ball entering the forehead, killing him instantly. A Mrs. Lee, of this city, attempted to start a fire with coal oil a few evenings since. The usual result followed and the funeral took place the next day. Mrs. Pride, living one and one-half miles west of this place, died last Saturday, at the advanced age of one hundred and eleven years. —Knlghtstown Banner. The State House Commissioners have advertised for bids for the removal of the old building, the same to be completed before February 1st There has never been a finer crop of com, wheat, oats and flax in the eastern part ofthe State, and the weather has been very favorable for harvesting. A small child wasBtruck by a Bee Line engine, at Muncie, and hurled from the track with great force. Strange to gay it escaped with only a slight bruise on the face. The boiler of John Radei's saw mill, at Henry ville, exploded last Friday, demolishing the mill, and throwing the boiler about 75 yards. Fortunate no one was near at the time. Wheat is turning out, on the prairies in this county, fully as well as anticipated previous to harvest. The crop is probably the largest and best ever raised in the county.—Laporte Herald. A patent oil stove at the residence of Rev. Everett Kens, of Michigan City, yesterday exploded with great force, demolishing the stove, firing the house and seriously burning Emma Lipky, the servant girl. David Hilligoss, a prominent Rush county farmer, met with a horrible death on the 14th inst., by being thrown from his horse, In falling his foot caught in the stirrup and he was dragged until life was extinct. A tramp stole a watch at Orleans last Friday, was captured, placed on trial, found guilty, sentenced to two years in the penitentiary and was on hia way to Jeffersonville within twenty-four hours after committing the crime. Thomas Edgar, of Warsaw, found a bottle of whiskey in his barn, and with the true Warsaw instinct emptied part of it under his nose. It tasted very bitter, and it was all the doctor could do to keep the strychnine from killing him. So far as heard from, Enos Neal, of Taylor township, has raised the best field of wheat In this county this season. Off of 18 acres he- saved 486 bushels, an average of 27 bushels to the acre. This is doubtless the best average- yield in Ho ward county since 1864,—Kokomo Dispatch. On Tuesday last a little daughter of Williams Lindley, of Charlottsville, aged nine years, attempted to start a fire with coal oil. A fatal spark lingered in the ashes, an explosion instantly followed, and the girl was frightfully burned, resulting in her death, in intense agony, on Wednesday. About one o'clock, Tuesday morning a fire- broke out in the engine and gas house at the Purdue University, entirely destroying the- building and Bhed adjoining. The walls and smoke stack were not materially damaged,. The boilers and machinery, which at first were thought to be entirely ruined, were upon examination found to be but slightly damaged; - The fire was caused by spontaneous combustion of the coal in the Bhed adjoining. The entire loss will not exceed $2 500. The work of rebuilding will commence at an early day. —Granger and Home Journal. General lews. New York receives annually $7,000,000 worth of eggs. There are one hundred thousand head of cattle near Dodge city, Kansas. A widow in Hazardville, Conn., has lost five husbands by power-mill explosions. Large numbers of cattle are reported dying of distemper in Attacapas county, Louisiana. The Indian war is ended, Chief Joseph having retreated northward to the Montana line. Over two million bushels of wheat were shipped from New York to Europe last- week. Five American prize oxen have been shipped to Scotland for competition with Scotch cattle. California sent abroad 301 cargoes of wheat and flour during the year ending June 30, valued at $81,427,500. The Englishrevisers of the New Testament have carried their work of second revision to the close of Acts 22. It is claimed that $30,000 worth of hogs have died during the past year of cholera, in a circle of five miles around Homer, 111, Crop reports from Nebraska and Western Iowa are most favorable, indicating the largest yield of all kinds of grain for years. A Peoria boy sent up town for 50 cent- worth of Pond's extract, returned after half a day's search with eleven frogs, assorted sizes. In a recent hall storm in Jefferson county, New York, horses and cattle were killed by the stones, some of which weighed over a half pound. Twenty car loads of cattle were received at Boston on the 22d inst. Runners have been so-urging New England and Canada for live stock during the blockade. An order was received from England last week for 200 or 300 skilled carpenters and joiners to ga to that country, guaranteeing then- good wages and steady employment. A bee flew into the mouth of a twelve year old girl, near Danville, 111., a few days ago, and stung her in the throat. The swelling produced by the sting choked the child to death in fifteen minutes. The striking miners in the Pennsylvania coal regions, have stopped the pumps and flooded the mines. It will takes from one to fire years constant work to clear them from water and make them again productive. Two of the largest Paterson, N. J., eilk mills, have just received an order from Paris for the manufacture of a certain description of Bilk goods. This is believed to be the first order recieved from Europe for American silks. The Cheyenne and Deadwood stages were stopped again last week, near Cheyenne river, by six road agents, who robbed the five passengers of all valuables. The treasure box was rifled, but contained nothing, of value to the robbers. A tramp's pipe burned $8,000 worth of standing wheat on the B. D. Beck with's ranche three miles from Woodbridge, Cal., last week. The tramp was badly siDged where he had Iain on the edge of the fire. Two hundred men armed, with wet Backs extinguished the flames. Results of the Pittsburg riot: Two thousand freight cars, with the merchandise on them, destroyed; one hundred and fifty loco- * motives burned; a dozen important buildiDgs reduced to ashes; fifty li res lost. And this, loss of $5,000,000 and fifty lives does not benefit a single one of the many strikers. | I \ ti

Farmers haye commenced ploughing for wheat. A. B. CorFMAu. Ks-ox Co., July 27th.—Times dull in consequence of the strike. Great deal of wheat lying along the railroad for shipment, some In cars. Every body is wanting to ship for fear the prices of wheat will decline. Old corn scarce. Season rather wet for a good com crop. A. N. Halstead. Mabtih Co., July 25th.—Having seen nothing in the Fabmeb from these parts, I send you a card to let you know we are alive and kicking. Wheat is good and stacked in good condition. Oats good; corn looks well on rolling ground; flat land not so well. Farm hands get from twelve to fifteen dollars per month. Hog cholera plentiful. Long live the Fabmkb. Joan Milks. Flotd Co , July 24th.—Farmers' barns look like a boy's pocket in June apple time, and the boys can go to the circus again. The voice of the Brahma cock sounds much more musical than it did when we got but tight to twelve bushels of wheat per acre. The threshing man has a smile on his face as broad as a Quaker's hatrim. I think he will get a top buggy before long. The corn fields look like a cane- brake. All we need is bone dust and sinew. Frank Ott sells us the bone and we make the sinew. Jkbbt Mason. . Georgetown. Lawbeh-ck Co., July 24th.—Harvest is over in this county and the yield is good in everything except fruits. The click of the threshing machine is heard throughout the land, and the people feel confident of a least enough to eat for another year or eo. Your Harrison county correspondent desires information on the tadpole malady. They died here some three years ago, same as now at Lanesville, and we came to the conclusion after careful investigation, that they died for want of breath. J. T. B.

Apples scarce, peaches none. General health good. N. Habbis. Jone-boro, Ind. Wayne Co., July 23d.—I have read in your paper news from nearly all parts of the country, but have not often seen any from this part. I think the Indiaha Fabmkb does more for the welfare of the farmers than any other paper in the State. For through it .they can hear from all parts of this and adjoining States, and consult one another on different topics. Crops are generally good here. Wheat will average about 18 bushels per acre. Oats and flax are better than they have been for several years past. Corn will be a fair crop, but not so good as last year. There will be a general crop • of large frnit here, bnt every thing else promises well and farmers are cheerful. The temper- ,THE PERPETUAL HAY PRESS. ance tidal wave is sweeping over this part of the country and is leaving its marks plain. The majority of the people have signed the pledge, and wh-t few are left, seem to think "the fewer the guests the more wine left."

It can be made of great benefit if our readers will make use of it Only a cent is required to ask a question, the answer to which may be worth many dollars.—[Eds. FISH culttjbb. Will some of the many readers of the Fabmeb please tell me how and what to feed fish T Also what kind of trees are best to set ont for shade about a flsh pond ? W. M. F. Bloomington, Ind. SCHOOL ECB1P ABD LAND WABRANTS. Will you please be so kind as to tdve me information on the following: First, What can Indiana school scrip or land warrants be bought for per acre? Second, Can a person enter Government land any place in the United States with these warrants or scrip 7 Please give me information on the above through the columns of the Fabmeb, and oblige a reader W. 8. ' We cannot learn of any school scrip for sale in this city. Land warrants good in any State or territory where there are unoccupied lands, can be bought for 75 to 80 cents per acre. If our correspondent has school scrip and wishes to invest in land, he had best exchange the scrip for warrants.—[Eds . ; FULTZ WHEAT. 7b the Editors Indiana Farmer: I have raised the Fultz wheat for five years and I have never as yet seen any midge in it, while other varieties on the same farm were injured considerably. The Fultz has proved to be the best wheat for this locality that we have had for years. I have never raised less than 20 bushels per acre of it, and have raised aa high as 35 bushels per acre. I have 50 acres (my whole crop) this year, its quality this year is unusually fine. Corn in this, St. Joe valley, is backward. Potatoes abundant. Ploughing for wheat is the order of the day. S. W. Si-joke. " St. Joaeph county, July 21st. DUTIES CF NON-HATUBALIZKD CITIZEKS. 7b the Ediiors Indiana Parmer: Has an Englishman who is of age and not naturalized, and 2} years in the 20's, any right to work the roads, pay the poll tax, as it is called? There is a difference of opinion concerning it around here. An answer in your next would oblige A Subscbibeb. Your non-naturalized English bom citizen is under the protection of the TT. S. law, and is as much bound to pay poll tax or work the roads, as any other citizen. Naturalization would give him the right to vote or hold office-if elected, which he cannot do at present.—[Eds. BAGWOBT. W. H. B., this county, has handed us a weed that he finds in his meadow. It is new to him and to us. Our young botanical friend sends the following in regard to it: "The name of the plant you gave me is Sen- ecio Aureus; Golden Ragwort or Squaw-weed. It grows wild, chiefly in low, wet places. Is abont three feet high. Corolla is strap-shaped and yellow. The disk, or central part of the flower, is dark brown. The leaves vary in shape, and the stalk is slender and hairy. K. G. We showed one of the flowers, with corolla stripped off, to a tailor and he pronounced it a velvet vest button on first inspection. It certainly resembles one very closely. The weed ls useless entirely, and a' strong grower. It should be eradicated before it spreads over the farm.—[Eds. . i split HOOF. ; Will some of the readers ofthe Fabmeb give a cure for a horse having a split hoof. Whenever the hoof begins to heal it turns in and penetrates the flesh, thereby rendering the horse useless. Any Information for the unfortunate animal will be very acceptable. W.E.N. The ailment is something like what Veterinary surgeons call the sand-crack. To cure this disease, "Stonehenge," in his work on the horse says: "the foot must be rested, or at least that portion of it where the crack occurs, which in the fore fool may be effected by the nse of the bar-shoe, throwing the pressure entirely on the frog, and taking care that the crust behind the crack is not in contact with the shoe." Dr. Navin may have something to say on the subject in our next. ELISD STAGOEB8. 7b (he Editors Indiana Ibrmer: I have .i hog that has the blind staggers. His neck is stiff, and he goes around on a small piece of ground. He eats hearty .as a well hog, but cannot find his feed unless it is placed near his nose. He seems to be blind, but his sense of smelling is as good as it ever Was. What must I do for him ? A Fasmeb. For this disease Coburn, in his Swine Husbandry, recommends the following treatment. Give, at once, a teaspoonful of calomel; cut a slit in the skin on the head above the eyes clear to the skull. In this cut put salt and pepper to get up a counter-irritation. If this does not succeed, make a liniment as follows: take of spirits turpentine, capsicum and aqua ammonium, each one ounce, add half an ounce tincture of arnica and one-quarter ounce chloroform, place in a vial, shake well and rub on upper part of the head and betwe en and around the ears. We should use the liniment in the first place and reject the cutting treatment entire-, ly.—Eds. If you do not find the answer to your question on this page, look for it in its appropriate I column on some other page, or expect it in next number. tf. Hog cholera prevails in the vicinity of Edinburg. Over 1800 have signed the Murphy pledge in Wabash. Cass county is doing $75,000 worth of ditching this year. - The Tippecanoe Old Settlers will reunion in September—fourth Thursday. The Murphy movement is just beginning to take in Henry county. Wabash College has been fortunate of late in securing endowments. The oats harvest has begun. The yield will be large.—Benton Co. Herald. There are now 13,800 names oh the Indianapolis Pension Agency rolls. A circus and a gang of confidence men all but cleaned Columbus out Saturday. A liberal estimate places the value of the Howard county flax crop at $100,000. Three thousand five hundred people have signed the Murphy pledge in Jay county. They tell about seeing double headed snakes in Spencer county. Better sign the pledge. A horse is used in the mail service at Lafayette that once belonged to General Jackson. The distillery of the Bingham Bros., at Evansville, has been converted into a flouring mill. Indianapolis grain dealers lost 100,000 bushels of wheat in the fires at Pittsburg, Pa., last week. It is claimed that the wheat crop of Rush county will average twenty bushels to the acre. Hancock county has fifty-eight sabbath schools with an average attendance of 4,885 children. A match game of base ball between clubs composed of one arm men is the coming attraction at Kokomo. Wm. McCord threshed 15 acres of wheat this year which averaged 32 bushels to the acre.—Rockville Republican. The number of men now lying idle on account of the Pittsburg strike, in this city is about 1,200.—Ft. Wayne Gazette. Counterfeit half-dollars are beginning to abound, and a. ust be watched for by those who are co lucky as to get a whole half-dollar at once. A son of Mr. Lyman was shot by a pistol in the hands of another boy, near Lafayette. The ball entering the forehead, killing him instantly. A Mrs. Lee, of this city, attempted to start a fire with coal oil a few evenings since. The usual result followed and the funeral took place the next day. Mrs. Pride, living one and one-half miles west of this place, died last Saturday, at the advanced age of one hundred and eleven years. —Knlghtstown Banner. The State House Commissioners have advertised for bids for the removal of the old building, the same to be completed before February 1st There has never been a finer crop of com, wheat, oats and flax in the eastern part ofthe State, and the weather has been very favorable for harvesting. A small child wasBtruck by a Bee Line engine, at Muncie, and hurled from the track with great force. Strange to gay it escaped with only a slight bruise on the face. The boiler of John Radei's saw mill, at Henry ville, exploded last Friday, demolishing the mill, and throwing the boiler about 75 yards. Fortunate no one was near at the time. Wheat is turning out, on the prairies in this county, fully as well as anticipated previous to harvest. The crop is probably the largest and best ever raised in the county.—Laporte Herald. A patent oil stove at the residence of Rev. Everett Kens, of Michigan City, yesterday exploded with great force, demolishing the stove, firing the house and seriously burning Emma Lipky, the servant girl. David Hilligoss, a prominent Rush county farmer, met with a horrible death on the 14th inst., by being thrown from his horse, In falling his foot caught in the stirrup and he was dragged until life was extinct. A tramp stole a watch at Orleans last Friday, was captured, placed on trial, found guilty, sentenced to two years in the penitentiary and was on hia way to Jeffersonville within twenty-four hours after committing the crime. Thomas Edgar, of Warsaw, found a bottle of whiskey in his barn, and with the true Warsaw instinct emptied part of it under his nose. It tasted very bitter, and it was all the doctor could do to keep the strychnine from killing him. So far as heard from, Enos Neal, of Taylor township, has raised the best field of wheat In this county this season. Off of 18 acres he- saved 486 bushels, an average of 27 bushels to the acre. This is doubtless the best average- yield in Ho ward county since 1864,—Kokomo Dispatch. On Tuesday last a little daughter of Williams Lindley, of Charlottsville, aged nine years, attempted to start a fire with coal oil. A fatal spark lingered in the ashes, an explosion instantly followed, and the girl was frightfully burned, resulting in her death, in intense agony, on Wednesday. About one o'clock, Tuesday morning a fire- broke out in the engine and gas house at the Purdue University, entirely destroying the- building and Bhed adjoining. The walls and smoke stack were not materially damaged,. The boilers and machinery, which at first were thought to be entirely ruined, were upon examination found to be but slightly damaged; - The fire was caused by spontaneous combustion of the coal in the Bhed adjoining. The entire loss will not exceed $2 500. The work of rebuilding will commence at an early day. —Granger and Home Journal. General lews. New York receives annually $7,000,000 worth of eggs. There are one hundred thousand head of cattle near Dodge city, Kansas. A widow in Hazardville, Conn., has lost five husbands by power-mill explosions. Large numbers of cattle are reported dying of distemper in Attacapas county, Louisiana. The Indian war is ended, Chief Joseph having retreated northward to the Montana line. Over two million bushels of wheat were shipped from New York to Europe last- week. Five American prize oxen have been shipped to Scotland for competition with Scotch cattle. California sent abroad 301 cargoes of wheat and flour during the year ending June 30, valued at $81,427,500.

An order was received from England last week for 200 or 300 skilled carpenters and joiners to ga to that country, guaranteeing then- good wages and steady employment. A bee flew into the mouth of a twelve year old girl, near Danville, 111., a few days ago, and stung her in the throat. The swelling produced by the sting choked the child to death in fifteen minutes. The striking miners in the Pennsylvania coal regions, have stopped the pumps and flooded the mines. It will takes from one to fire years constant work to clear them from water and make them again productive. Two of the largest Paterson, N. J., eilk mills, have just received an order from Paris for the manufacture of a certain description of Bilk goods. This is believed to be the first order recieved from Europe for American silks. The Cheyenne and Deadwood stages were stopped again last week, near Cheyenne river, by six road agents, who robbed the five passengers of all valuables. The treasure box was rifled, but contained nothing, of value to the robbers. A tramp's pipe burned $8,000 worth of standing wheat on the B. D. Beck with's ranche three miles from Woodbridge, Cal., last week. The tramp was badly siDged where he had Iain on the edge of the fire. Two hundred men armed, with wet Backs extinguished the flames. Results of the Pittsburg riot: Two thousand freight cars, with the merchandise on them, destroyed; one hundred and fifty loco- * motives burned; a dozen important buildiDgs reduced to ashes; fifty li res lost. And this, loss of $5,000,000 and fifty lives does not benefit a single one of the many strikers. | I \ ti |
