The next day. the news liavmi spread

through the county, Shelbyville was full

of armed men, fearfully excited, who had

come in from the country with a determination

to give the Radicals of Shelby-

ville what they wanted of mob law. Rut

the Radicals had become alarmed, and

had called a meeting to make overtures

for peace. A meeting was also held by

the Democrats, and between the two, an

outbreak was prevented. Coleseott was

re'arre.-ted Sunday, and an attempt was made to organize another mob for his re

lease Sunday night, but failed.

We invite the attention of every honest

Republican to the frequency of Radical outrages throughout the Stale. A spirit

of lawlessness is abroad that party, which threatens the most serious con.se-

i|uences. They seem to lie determined to

and

succeed at every hazard, even if they

have to override law and order, and sacrifice life aud property in the attempt.

Intimidation seems to be the game. We

shall continue to counsel moderation and

forbearance on the part of Democrats.

a disturbance. Rut at the same time let them retain their manhood, and when

this fall, should see to it that their grouud

the operation. During the succeeding

season, many of the trees are found to be

dead or dying, and the failure is laid at

the door of the nurseryman who supplied

the stock, when, in truth, it is solely owing to improper management in plant

ing. Select grouud with a southern in

clination, if you have it, aud see that it is well drained. Fruit trees, be they nat

urally ever so hardy and thrifty, will not do well in ground resembling a mortar bed. They require a lively soil, one upon

which water on the surface does not stand

or remain long beneath it. Break it up to the depth of a foot and a half or there

abouts. Supply it liberally with some

good fertilizer mix it with the soil. Set your trees a little deeper than they grew

ill the nursery, the roots being well ex

panded, as they naturally were before the

tree was t.\ken up. Pack sufficiently to

give steadiness to the tree: cut it back to a suitable length and shape and the work

of planting is done. The after manage

ment will consist in light, cultivation

about the trees, for a season, without severing any of the main roots as these will

be essential to give the tree a proper

st!,rt ,ld

grass and fertilize the soil. These thinga

who are compelled to buy wood will have

to pay for it dearly. There is .said to be immense quantities of it piled upon the

banks of the canal above Delphi, awaiting facilities for bringing it to market.— Lafayette Journal.

Henry Roth, idiot himself yesterday about

twelve o'clock, behind his own counter.

He was a highly respectable man, honorable in his dealings, and left a wife aud. children, who were in the back rooni'iit

the time the accident occurred. As he

was a man of sober and steady habits, and and lived in hariuouy with his family, no

one can account for the rash act which deprived him of life, and made his wile

Light is essential, and in admitting it, caution will be neeossary, as glass will admit frost. The best plan is to cover the glass with closely jointed boards, a space being left between the glass aud the boards, which should be packed with hay or straw in very severe weather. The covering should bo removed occasionally, and air admitted. This may be done ubout noon ou fiue, mild days. In this pita large number of half hardy plants and flowers may be safely kept during the Winter.

Sub-Soiling Land.

Will it pay to sub-soil, and if so, which is the best season to do it? is a question propounded to us by a correspondent. Perhaps we can best answer by considering some of the results of thorough subsoiling. It is a Fact that land maybe" made very productive by simply pulverizing the soil to a minute degree. This operation renders the plant-food contain-y ed therein available to the growth of the crop. It adds nothing to what was pre-^ viously there, but opens the way for the roots of plants to reach and appropriate the entire nutriment in the soil. For this object we plow and. harrow. But the sub-soil plan gors deeper and obvi

ously opens new and rich sources of mineral food to the. searching- roots of our grasses and cereals. Deep plowing, with an ordinary implement, is notalwnyB wise, for the reason that it throws, on the surface a soil deficient in vegetable mold, which forms a poor seed-bed to support the first and most feeble growth of the young plant. But Bub-soiling—the loosening of the under soil without bringing it to the surface—throws open to the vigorous roots of the' plant' rich sources of food. Sub-soiling should follow under draining. On strong loams of clay it is of the greatest use,—in pure sands of'the least. Where clay underlies sand, so

was an uncommonly hale, hearty, robust close to the^surface,that it may be reached man. The coroner's jury brought

fit to use it. The best time to sub-soil is in the autumn the frostand the airgo-l down, The water settles early in the,spring. The labor of sub-soiling in the,.' fall is much more, however, than in the spring.—Rural.

All those persons who arc fond of keepiug tender plants throughout the Winter, and have not a hot house, greon house or cellar to protect them, should construct a pit that will be frost proof.
