U A Bycicle Bage is announced for the second day at the Remington Fair e understand our neighbor sympathizes with the bounced cattle ki Jigs. On the 20th, at Fowler, while a 3-year old son of Dr. Roberts and a 13-year old daughter of Mrs. Berry, were enfirged at play in the Doctor’s office, the little fellow came across a revolver which he accidentally discharged the contents entering the girl’s head, causing'instant death. Our neighbor this week propounds a few queries. He wants to know about the appointment, by the Democrats, of a Colorado horse thief. That horse thief is a Republican, and was appointed on the recommendation of Senator Teller, (late Arthur’s Secretary of the Interior) end other leading Colorado republicans, but so soon as it became known that he was a a republican and a horse-thief he got the grand bounce. And so in the other cases. As to Mackin — well, if guilty, as charged, Democrats will insist that he be punished—but not in the way that Hayes punished those who stuffed him into the presidency by fraud and perjury.

The Wrong Man.

The editor of the Champaign County (Ill.) Herald, a Republican, was in New York City recently. While there a reporter endeavored to get information from him detrimental to Commissioner Black. In relation to the maiter the editor says: “We were interviewed by a newspaper reporter in New York City, who wanted to know what we knew about the extent of General Blank’s disability; whether or not he was sufficiently disabled to be entitled to SIOO per month. We iirh >rmed the pen-cil-sliover that General Black was most grievously wounded, that he submitted to several surgical operations in h ving pieces of bone removed from his arm, and that at the time the case was made up for his pension he was in almost a helpless condition. We gave ■ trhe reporter’s corkscrew plenty of exer.

cise trying to xtract something from us detrimental to General Black.” Logan observed, after the reporter had exhausted his resources: “You haven't found the man you were looking for. It will be a cold day when any ‘p«nny-a_ liner’ will persuade us to belittle the services of any Union soldier, be he Democrat or Republican. We despise the politics of General Black, but for his soldier record we have the very highest opinion and no seven-dollar-a-week report, er for a New YorK. paper can ‘work’ us for a ‘sucker,’ or lead us to slander any man who wore the blue.” Wo commend the above to the prayerful consideration of those republican journals that in years past supported and defended leaders of their party, who were willing to “let the Union slide”; who denounced the Union as being in “league with hell,” and the Constitution “a covenant with death”; in derision stigmatized Democrats as “Union savers,” and at the commencement of the war for the Union were loud in ther demands that “the South be permitted to go in peace,” but now so exclusively* “loyal!” as to dispute the claims of wounded Democratic soldiers to pensions.

The County Teachers’ Institute

Commenced its annual session Monday morning with an enroll mentof 121. The list of instruct

ors is comprised of the most noted educators in the State. Prof. E. E. Smith, of History and Literature, in Purdue University; Prof. W. A. Bell, editor of the Indiana School Journal; Prof. Howard Sundison, of Pedagogics in the State Normal School, at Terre Haute; Miss Emma C x, a graduate of the State Normal School, and Prof. David S. Jordan, Presiident of the Indiana State' University, at Bloomington, assisted in the exercises. Monday evening a grand reunion of the Teachers was held in the court room. Tuesday evening Prof Smith delivered a lecture on “Evenings with British Authors,” which was listened to with attention and interest. Wednesday evening Prof. Jordan entertained a large audience with a thrilling account of the perilous ascent of the “The Matterhon,” a famous Alpine peak, by himself and a number of friends. » All in all, the Institute is a grand success, and Superintendent Nelson deserves great credit for his untiring efforts to advance and promote the cause of education in Jasper connty. Next Aveek we will publish a complete list of the enrollment.

Shot Dead in His Office.

Deadwood, Dak., August 27. H. P. Lynch, of Sturgis, WM shot dead Monday night in his office by Corporal Ross Hollis, of Company A, Twenty-fifth U. S. Infanrry, stationed at Fort Mead, and the latter was lynched Tuesday night bv a mcb. Some time ago Hollis beat a colored woman and broke three of her ribs. Dr. was called to attend her, and was also summoned as a witness before the Grand Jury. Hollis was indicted, and threatened to kill the Doctor. The night of the murder he deserted the fort, got a change of clothing, went in search and crept stealthily up to the Doctor’s office and fired at his victim through the window. The assassination was soon discovered, and Hollis was arrested for the crime Tuesday. On being confronted with proofs of his guilt he confessed. Tuesday night a mob seized him and hanged him. The Doctor and ’onrself served Gur apprenticeships together in the Lewistown (Pa.) True Democrat office, H. J. Walters, Esq., editor and publisher, who is still living. In 1851 he wrote for us to take his case in the Erie (Pa.) Commercial Advertiser. We complied, but as he had left when we reached that cit t did not meet him. We hoAvever soon received a letter from him bearing the postmark of a military post in North Carolina, in which he stated that he had entered the United States service.— tie was appointed hospital steward and studied medicine while occupying that position. At the expiration of his enlistment he enter ed a medical college at Ann Arbor, Michigan. He afterward, associated with a Mr. Rock in the publication of a Democratic paper in Valparaiso, this State. His next venture was in the publication of a newspaper, the practice of medi_ cine, the establishment of a drug store, and superintendency of a railroad enterprise, at a point in Missouri. During the war he did not enter the service, but on several occasions headed a company of picked men .volunteered to have a bout with the gnerilas. Our last letter from him was received several years ago on his location at Deadwood. And the dis" patch which heads this announces the ending of a life, the incident 8 of which, if properly colated wo’d < o doubt prove interesting reading* He was a man of warm heart, generous and noble impulses, a firm, unflinching Democrat, a true patriot, and devoted friend, whose sudden violent and uncalled for death will shock many friends yet living who knew him well in other years.

FARM NOTES.

Bonn milk, whey, and buttermilk art excellent liquids for mixing with the soft food of poultry. A SICK horse, that cannot be induced to lie down in any other way, will often take to a bed of clean, bright straw. Value of Apple Pomace. —As a fertilizer my experience is that pomace is only about as valuable as peat muck, and not good for much until it has had the action of the frost and the atmosphere to neutralize the acid it contains. I find it a good absorbent to put into the hog pen or the bam cellar after the acid is out, and it is useful to spread on low graas lands. My stock eat pomace and ft does not hurt them. experience is that pomace is better than apples for producing milk. —lsrael Putnam, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. A writer in the New' England Homestead, finding that the cut-worms destroyed his tobaooo plants aa fast as he set them, procured a basketful of chestnut leaves which were young and tender, and, after steeping them in water which contained one tablespoonful of Paris green to each gallon of water, he placed a leaf over the spot where the plants were to be set. The worms ate holes in the leaves and lay in (dusters dead, or so stupid that they did no further harm to the plants, which were afterward sot out and a fine crop was harvested. The New York Times says one of the most serious obstacles to successful dairying is Avet pastures.) Land that is saturated with water produces unherbage, the grass is rank and sour, and sometimes the herbage consists wholly of sedges and other coarse plants that are not easily digestible. Such food cannot produce good milk', -and. the milk made from such food will not make good cheese or butter. But very often the coarse, rank food produces disease in the cows. This is more especially the case with yearlings and young cattle whose digestive powers are not fully matured. Probably more than half oi all the j weeds are first brought to our farms in ! the grass seed. Suppose Ave were given j a bushel of clover or timothy seed con- | taming only tAventy grains of ripple oi ’ wild carrot or daisy; how much better ! to burn it than to sow and go over the fields time after time to pull out the weeds? It would cost more than ten times the price of the seed to get the last of these plants out. It is far better to refuse entirely those seedswith only a few weed seeds,” and pay a round price for those entirely free from them: and then on seeding down land Ave should bow plenty of seed, so as to have the surface fully occupied Avith the dosired crop.— New York Tribune. The turnip-root celery, under wmcn name this variety of celery is generally sold, is comparatively little knoAvn outside of our large city markets, while on the Continent of Europe it is grown to the almost entire exclusion of the stalk kinds. In these two varieties of the same species it is simply shown liow much systematic and persistent cultivation can accomplish in the development of special and different characteristics. While iu the one the vital energy of plant becomes directed to its development of the leaves, in the other it is turned to the enlargement of the roots. In celeriac the productions of large, tender roots is the object to be attained. These roots, which are irregular, round, of the size of a large turnip, white outside and inside and of a texture similar to parsnips, are principally used as salad. They are boiled like beets, peeled, sliced and dress, d with vinegar, olive oil, salt and popper. A favorite Avay of Serving this salad is to arrange it in the center; of a dish, and stfrround it with a broad rim of red coldslaw, edged with some leaves of corn-salad, the contrasting colors of red, green and Aviiite makiug an ornamental and attractive dish. The sowing of the seed, transplanting and after management differ but little from that of common celery, except that, as it requires not to be liilled-up, it may be planted closer,placing the rows two feet apart and setting the plants a foot apart in the rows. To obtain large and tender roots the soil must be loose, deep and moderately rich, and in dry seasons a thorough soaking of water should be given every two or three days. The roots are not injured by light frosts, but they are not hardy enough to winter out doors, and should therefore be heeled-in in a cool cellar, or kept in boxes covered with soil or sand. — Amer * ican Garden.

Where the Earth Cure Failed. Some years ago a man in Trinity County called Doc. Somethinganothei wrote for the Weaverville Journal a short sketch of what befell a man with tke scurvy. He got his friends to dig a deep hole, put him standing in it, and coyer him up tightly with earth ‘to his chifi. They left him to pass.the night, hoping to dig him out cured in the morning. It is not known how the plan would have worked, for the coyotes came came along during the hours of darkness knd ate his head ofil Joaquin Mil* ler stole the story and amplified it.
