EVIDENTLY the Baxter law has accomplished something for Anderson. The The good results are thus summed up in the Herald:
It is respectfully submitted that Anderson without a single licensed saloon^ with quiet and order prevailing upon her streets, with public drunkenness abated, with the increased sense of security ti life and property as a necessary result,, is a more desirable place for residence and business than it was two jeare ago, when twenty licensed saloons dealt out the burning liquid, when drunkenness, debauchery and rioting daily disgraced our streets, rendering life and propertyinsecure.
SOME of our readers will recollect that Mr. Neff, in his speech here last week, charged that Gen. Brady, the Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, is drawing his pay as Consul to St. Thomas and putting in his time trying to elect the Republican State ticket. This charge is thus disposed of by the Indianapolis Journal:
If Xliese papers knew as much about consular lawe as they do about the art of lying they would know the story could not be true. Under those laws a Consul can be absent from his post for sixty days on half pay, but for any longer absence lie draws no pay at all. That is, if foVany reason he desires an extended leave of absence, he receives half pay for two months, the other half going to the vice Consul, and after that the Consul receives no pay, the whole going to the vice Consul. For personal and political reasons, Genef-al Brady sought and obtained a several months' leave of absence, but be is drawing no pay whatever from the Government, and meanwhile the ditties of the consulate are faithfully performed by a vice Consul, who receives the full pay.. Nowlet us see if the papers which have made tiuch conspicuous use of this falsehood about General Brady will have the fe.-ace to correct it.
Important to Teachers.
The textbooks adopted by the County Board can pe procured at either of the book stores in Crawfordsville at introductory and exchange prices. It is to the interest of every district to make the required changes at once, since the books can be had at greatly reduced prices. Many teachers have already made the change, and we trust that others will do likewise. M. E. CLODFELTER,
County Superintendent.

A CORRESPONDKXT of the Chicago Times has traveled over six ot the States of the Northwest to investigate the troublesome grasshopper. He exipresses the opinion that the States east of the Mississipi river have no reason to hope for exemption from the plague. He say the grasshopper is nothing more tbw:i a grain and vegetable locust. The insect came from South America, up through Mexico to Utah, and thenoe east to Nebraska, Missouri and Minnesota.
Hoy. JAMES F. HARNEY, in a joint discussion with Mr. Kennedy at Wesley Chapel, in Wayne township, on Monday evening, said he had voted for the Baxter law because he thought it was right and because he believed it reflected the will of the people of Montgomery county, and that as a Senator holding over he would vote against its repeal. We are truly glad kuow that Mr. Harney does not intend to suffer himself to be transferred to the whisky men of the State by the scheming politicians in his party.

LETTER FROM K.VXS.VS.
A Nontfcomerj County Family Among the ttrnMNliopprrM. AONKS CiTr, I.vos Co., Ks.t .Sppt- I
What next? We have had, first,' cfcSnch bugs, that destroyed our Spring irtieat almost entirely and also our corn adjoining next, a drouth, commencing the middk: of June and lasting until the twiddle of .September, with but two or tiree small showers in the interim, the Seoaho river being dry in many places and then, more terrible than an army with banners, came the grasshoppers. Corn, cabbage, all kinds of vegetables, leaves ef trees, bads, bark, fruit, and even tobacco, were swept clean 'before tfrein in the greater part of the State. Onions were eaten oat of the ground. Young orchards, we fear, are mined. They came in clouds, darkening tlie sky, above, around, beneath, everywhere— grasshoppers. The wonder is that anything is le:t. Much of the corn in this eminty was too hard for them before they arrived from the west. We knew of their coming a week before they came the first time, and quite a number cut trp their com ^reen to save the fodder, b«t Mr. Hopper went right through it.
B«t all things must have an end. We hare had sufficient rain for Fall plowing, and thoee who have the seed or are able to buy are putting in their Fall wheat. Although grass was short there is supposed to be hay enough put up to carry th« stock through the Winter. There will perhaps be some suffering on th# border before the aid which was voted by the special session of the Legislature, convened by the Governor for the emergency, can reach them. Hundreds are on their way back to the Eastern States. Lyon county does not ask any help from the State, being an older settled county and not having suffered so much from drouth and other plague* as the counties west of her. She will have enough within her borders, perhaps, to weather the storm.
Peaches are very plentiful, and are selling at the orchards at from 20 to 50 cents per bushel for the best budded fruit.
The prices of produce are about as follows Potatoes, $1.25 per bushel sweet, $1. Corn, G5 cents. Wheat, best Fall, 85 cents Spring, 75©S0 cents. Beef, by the quarter, 4(» 5 cents. Cows, Texan, $10015 per head native, $20®25. Hay, prairie, $20$4 per ton.
We attended the agricultural fair at Emporia the other day. The vegetable productions exhibited there were enormous. There were corn stalks from 15 to 20 feet high, with large ears like chunks of stove wood cropping out 8 or 10 feet from the base. We protest against such corn it is too high for the present process of gathering. There were sweet potatoes that measured from 15 to 20 inches in circumference, besides
huge beets, onions, etc., in abundance. The Indians have been quite troublesome in the southwestern couuties. There have been about twenty whites killed by them this Summer.
Wolves are quite plentiful. Two of them followed Willie and Lillie King nearly home from a plumming excursion not long since.
The Fall terms of school have generally commenced. We have from three to nine months of public school in this county, varying according to size of district and other causes. VENTILATOR.
