.In the southeast part of Coal Creek townsiiip. on the New Richmond and Crawfordsville mud and corduroy road, is a circular mound called "Round I-Iill." This mound, thrown up, perhaps, by some convulsion of nature when this world was young, if

not "grand and gloomy," is tit least

far above all the surrounding country, and from its conical shape very appropriately named. It is the culminating point of Coal Creek township, and boasts a blacksmith shop, school bouse and two dwelling houses. Occasionally the Roundhillers become very enthusiastic over the idea of moving to this place Asbury Chapel, now three-fourths of a mile west, or selling the old building and erecting a new one. The Hill needs such an acquisition.

There area good many experienced farmers about here, among whom imight be mentioned Wm. House, John Cowan, Wm. Cowan, A. Harshbcrger, Abner Jones, James McClam roch, Thomas Taylor and others. Mr. Taylor and Mr. McClamroch have each about seventy-five acres of wheat this year, all good.

William Willson and George Miller manufacture sorghum. The prospect for corn is not good. The weeds and grass hold a "first mortgage" on most of the fields, which if not soon lifted will be closed.

John McClamrock and Daniel King are just finishing for the season, the

You misapprehend my squib on boys, did not intend to eonvcy the idea that the poor as a class needed schools of reform. No sir! It is the pooj men's sons, inured to toil, and early trained to .habits of industry and self rcliance, that we must look to for our leading men of twenty five years hence. At least two-thirds of the most successful fanners and business and professiojial men of to-day were the poor boj's of yesterda}'. Scattered all over the country, arc poor ragged boys, who, though regarded as tra^h now, will be the first men of the country when t3o many, lazy, loafing, pestiferous, idling beys, both poor and rich, that need looking after. Some of them have uo parents others, dissipated parents and still others have parents who have not the slightest appreciation of what the training of children should be. For such as these we should borrow a remedy from the Prussian Free School System. Compel their attendance a specified time at school, and then apprentice them to a good trade. Where they refuse to submit, to this, send them to a county Reform School provided for the purpose. TOM TATTLKIE.

I commenced harvesting the first of the price to ten cents per bottle, July. I had no help but iqy two boys, one aged 15 and the other 12 years. The younger boy drove the machine for the first two or threo days, after which my daughter took a notion that she could drive. She drove the rest of the time, doing it well and being much pleased with the work. She had a nice spring seat and considered it almost as good as buggy riding. I had 50 acres of wheat this year, and the harvest occupied 8£ days. All I hired was one hand one day and a half. I engaged a couple of others but they disappointed me, and we got along very well without them. Some might think, perhaps, the wheat was very light. On the 50 acres, however, were 1,700 shocks with from 12 to 18 sheaves each.

Geo. Zollers is at business in the city above named, and a warm friend to the ladies, as he is engaged in manufacturing a washing machine, which for success in good work, we have failed to see rivaled.

Dick Gains is at home on a visit. He had friends to visit him from a distance, but they were unwelcomed, for he owed them money.
