Our premium offers are honestly made. We have counted the cost and made them accordingly, that we may,' with safety to ourselves, place the JOURNAL within reach of all for one year at 81 50 per copy. Don't ask it for less. If you want the paper and are actually too poor to pay for it, we will try to accommodate you for nothing, asking you to consider yourself under 110 special obligation to us, but wc will not open a subscription account again.

Finally, and chiefly, don't take the Jouenal yourself, nor ask your neighbor to take it "because it is the county paper.'' For heaven sake send us the names of 110 such subscribers. They and the credit system would kill the best paper that was

The condition of the money market and the state of trace in most large cities for the pust five months have made the question, "What kind of crops r" one of pecuir-r interest. It is a fact whica fai mers v*e learned from long experience, that, however scarce money may be, they are safe in the posession of grain and fruit crops and plenty of stock to sell, while mechanics and laboring men generally look to the same source for help.

TSU.E DBlAWBAtK 'fl'O I'ARMI.\(,1. Hon. Isaac Kinley in his late address before the State Agricultural Society, says the greatest drawback to good farming in this country is the great rush of educated young men into other professions. The remark is partly true, for it cannot be disputed that a smattering knowledge obtained anywhere outside of a public school immediately possesses the young man with a desire to become a clerk, lawyer, or something which he imagines will make it unnecessary for him to work for a living. .But, however true it may be and whatever the consequences, it is not more the fault of the boy than of the parent. There is too little regard paid to that kind of farming which is itself education of both body and intellect. Farmers blunder along, very successfully, too, sometimes, doing everything by main strength, bringing into play only muscle, while the brain power is left undeveloped. The mistake is made by those who think farming does not require education. Farming is an application of the principles of science, and it is 110 more possible to be a good farmer without some knowledge of these principles than'to be a good lawyer without a knowledge of the principles of law. There are hundreds of acrcs of wornout land within a few miles of Crawfordsville which are now producing nothing, but which an application, at comparatively little cost, of the principles of drainage and fertilizing, would make profitable. The great want is a realizing sense of the importance of knowledge in agriculture. Make success in farming something worth seeking as a recognized test of the intellectual powers, just as success in the "higher" professions is

TWO WOMEN KIIXED!

Tl«e Murderer Arrested!

From the Covington Journal, Extra, of last Monday morning wc clip the following particulars of a cold blooded murder, committed in that place on last Saturday afternoon

Our usually quiet little- city was the theatre of a most terrible tragedy, Saturday evening last, resulting in the almost instant death of Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, aged 73 years, and the mortal wounding of Miss Clarissa Bcckelheimer, both by pistol shots from the hand of one Frederick Iiemster.

The unfortunate victims of this terrible tragedy, were of the highest respectability and standing. Mrs. Jones was the mother of John R. Jones, founder of the People's Friend, and representative from thi county to the State Legislature, and of Wm. Jones, Esq., formerly Mayor of the city of Vincennes.

Miss Beckelheimer is the only daughter of Levi Beckelheimer, a worthy and esteemed citizen of this place. The facts pertaining to the tragedy are in substance, as follows "Remster, who was married to an estimable young lady of this neighborhood, only three weeks ago, and was occupying a part of the house owned by Mrs. Jones, (Mrs. Jones occupying the other part of the house) came home about o'clock, Saturday evening, apparently laboring under some mental excitement. It does not appear that there was any quarreling. But Remster Remarked, in the presence of his wife and Mrs. Jones, that they would all be killed that night, or that there would be bloodshed, at which Mrs. Jones, becoming alarmed, remarked that she would go to her daughter's, who lived near by, and stepped out of the door. Remster followed, caught her, and putting his

pistol to her head, fired, killing her

After a preliminary examination before Justice Rawles. yesterday afternoon, he wras committed for murider in the first degree.

We learn this morning, that the murderer disclaims insanity, and says that he killed the ones lie desired to kill.
