The proprietor of one of theut accepted a challenge that he could not extract a three foot teen bak stump with his machine. If fie did draw it he was ro receive 500, and also sell the machine. Nobody believed it could be done; but the machine aetto work and the stump came out. .". The Currency Supply. Tn-consequence of the pressing demand everywhere made Tor some small notes and currency, the Treasury Depart, merit has made arrangements in New York for furnishing ?230,ttitO a day, beginning last Monday, in fractional currency. By the lst'of October the new one, two and ten dollar notes will be ready tor issue, when the companies propose to furnish three hundred thousand dollars per day, and, if possible, increase that amount. The New York Journal of Commerce saya: "We understand that the Pacific Mail Company intend to put on weekly steamers to China to import labor from that country. This they will do at a low price (the rxct sum we are not now able to state), rendering it entirely feasible for Southern planters to procure hands dirretly from China, via the Pacific Baiiroad, which will co-opente with the Pacific Mail Company in the new prt ject. The Pacific Mail Company will also, we understand, petition Coo press for ulMdie?for a weekly instead of a month! v rnait.'

The Avondale Tragedy. The Avondale mining disaster is horrible enough in itself without ascribing it to malice. If, however, there were grounds for believiiig ii -the result of a greater crime than culpable carelessness, the investigation should have been thorough and brought it out. A letter to the New York Tiaies says: Those who believed it incendiarism before, believe so now. I am reliably informed that much testimony tending to strengthen this view could have been produced at the inquest, but it was not deemed advisable to do ao, because it could in no way serve to lead to the apprehension of the criminal. The public know something by this time of mining jealousies, and troubles about "basis" and "strikes," and will understand why it was unwise to fan these acrimonies. But that many persons believed the thaft to Have been fired by an imtndutry it as true a any statement made in connection tcitk the tragedy, and the statement telegraped from Wilkesbarre in the name of the Miners' Union that nobody believed in incendiarism was sufficiently disproved by the sworn testimony before the Coroner. The suspicion of incendiarism came from miners, was founded on the condition of the brettice. The owners knew perfectly well that if it should be proven that the fire could have originated in no other way than by the act of an incendiary, certain inferences would be drawn which would disorganise mining industry, and indefinitely postpone t.ie profitable production of coal. Itisnowu as a fact that while the manage, -a of the company were exececdirgij anxious to show that the disaster. Was not the result

of any negligence or unskillfulnes ou their par;t they were fearful of the effects of 'lie incendiary theory, and studiously kept It iu the background Important news comes from South America, by way of Lbon, to the effect that the Paraguayan war is at last ended. The allies, it is reported, have captured Af-eurra, and Lopes has fled. A provisional Government has been established at Asuncion, and the gallant people that have continued to fight against odds most overwhelming have been compelled to lay down their arma. It is expected at the Treasury Depart j tnent that Mr. Boatwell will be able to show a reduction of 160,000,000 in the public debt by December.

It is believed that they will soon openly welcome the colored people into their ranks. Asa Pax-kcr, the Democratic candidate for Governor in Pennsylvania, is accused of boiling the Democratio nominee for Judge of the Supreme Court, some eighteen years since, because he was a Catholic; fourteen years ago he trained with the Know Nothings; and nine years ago he bolted Stephen A. Douglas, and went for Breckiuridge, the candidate for recession and rebellion. Now he turns up as a good enough Democratic candidate for defeat on the gubernatorial course.

Something About Raising Rye. The following articte is copied from that staunch and 'reliable New York paper, Hearth and Home. It will command the careful attention of our enterprising farmers: .' . ' : ' , . After the hurry of July, th most important as well as the busiest month in the year,1 there is a season of comparative rest. The early harvest is secured, and -the later is not ready, and between the one and the other there is a time for doing the numberless things that appertain to keeping the farm iu order, beside adding to its value. The next crop that needs attention is rye, and the first thing to be considered is THE SOIL BEST SUITED. This grain differs from most others in that there are some soils in which it will not grow, however well prepared or rich they are. It grows best in dry, sand loam. It will grow in dry loam without sand; but it will not grow in wet loam or clay, however large the expenditure of manure or carelul the culture. Having selected suitable land, the first thing is the ri-occniNQ. In ploughing for rye, the furrows should never be cut over four inches deep, especially if the land selected is pasture or tneadowg, to which no foreign enriching material is to he added. Our reason for this is that the roots of rye naturally run near the surface, and nothing in the shape of grass, or weeds, or the little sprinkling of manure that the cattle or sheep may have left, will benefit the grain in the least if put six Inches under ground; whereas it will be all appropriated if it is not over three. If the land is to be well enriched, and is naturally mellow, two inches more will, perhaps, not be of essential disadvantage; but shallow ploughing for rye, as a general rule, is the safest, as well as the best. Before the rye is sowed, the ploughed land should be subjected to a thorough , II ARROWING. If the rye is sowed on the furrows, a portion of it, finding its way between them, will reach the depth of from three to four inches, and if the shoot ever sees the light, its journey will have exhausted its vitality, a fad the next spring it will never send up more than one or two sulks, if even that number; aod in addition to this loss, the whole field will be in drills, which is not the best culture for this grain in New Kagland, whatever it may be else, where. The ground should, therefore, be thoroughly harrowed both ways is better than lapping half and when thus prepar ed, made as letel and mellow as as possible, it is ready for 60WING. One bushel to the acre is the standard. A little more on poor lands is better than a little less, and if the land is rich, quite rich, three pecks will answer, though a bushel would be better. In sowing, begin at the straight side of your held, next to the wall or fence. Before starting, take seven generous paces j from the point where you are to begin, and at a right angle with the direction in which yvu are going, and set up a goodsiied Btake, one that can be readily seen across the lot. Then, with rye sufficient to go a "bout" if your field is not too large in u pail or tight basket begin to sow a fiiir-siied handful every alternate step. When the opposite side is reached, set up another stake at exactly seven paces from the wall, or fence, or edge of your ploughed field, which will be the point of your departure on your return. Keep the stake on the opposite side of the lot in view when you start, and when it is reached, you wilt havd scattered the seed over a space the length of your field, and seven paees wide. Bepeat this process till the field is done, occasionally having an eye especially in the middle of the field, as to whether your grain is evenly scattered over the entire surface. After Bowing, it must be harrowed a second tin e, both ways, and then bushed, or, what is better, rolled. Not a few farmers negleet bushing, deeming that the harrowing process sufficiently covers the grain; but if it docs, some of the gtain is left near the top of the ridges, which, at the best, the harrow inevitably leaves, and, springing up as it will, it sends routs into the earth, whieh the first heavy rain will wash into the little hollows where the teeth of the harrow passed, and thus these sprouts will be injured, if not destroyed altogether; whereas, if a leafy limb of the nearest tree is drawn over the surface, or a bush, made of six or seven white birches, is used in the same way, the ground is left perfectly level, and each seed has a common and permanent starting-point. THE 8RASON OF SOWING should never be later than September 30th, although a few days either way from this date may not be of essential disadvantage The stronger the hold on the soil that the grain gets in the autumn, the better it will stand the winter. COMPARATIVE VALUE OF THE CROP. Whereverthe soil is suited to its growth, no crop yields a better return for the time and money expended. When the ground is not manured, pastured with sheep, perhaps, for four or five years, and then sowed with this grain, if the land is fair and the season fair, it will yield twentv bushels to the acre, beside a ton and a half of straw, that will more than pay for ploughin?, the seed, getting in, cutting, and threshing. It may be made to yield fjlty bushels. Putting the same manure on to the land (always, if suited to its growth) that you do to raise a crop of corn, you will get as mant or more bushels to the acre; aod, for all purposes, the one is worth as much as the other, and, if there is any difference, it is in favor of the rye.

The crop of hickorynuts, walnuts, pe cans, &c, alout EvanevUle, will be very I large this fall. I The next annual meeting of the Iodijana Conference will be held at Bloomingtoo. Judge Putnam, of Mitchell, fell from the window of a hotel at Lafayette, early on Friday morning, and was seriously, if not fatally, injured. Near Indianapolis, a few days ago James Tupper, while intoxicated, fell into a small creek, and with his faee in water only there inches deep, was drowned. At South Bend, few diijs ago, a baker Darned Fred. Munrer, sat a pan of boiling water on the floor, when his little boy, not two years old, running about the shop while the father was busy in another part of it, fell into tba scalding water and was so badly burned that he died the next day John Mendenhall went to Long Lake, Noble County, a few days ago, to fish, and in attempting tu- swim across to got a boat, got tangled in the grass and was drowned. He was sixty-three years old, and father of the County , Treasurer, Isaac Mendenhall. Last night a week ago, Warner Grave a farmer near Middleboro, was seised, bound and blindfolded by three or four persons, aod his safe blown open and rifled of its contents, 1 upward of lour hundred dollars. The Southeastern Indiana Conference voted in favor of lay delegation, only four votps feine sst against it. Seventy-four ncmbers of the First Bap tic i tirch in Indianapolis have taken demissory letters, with a view to establish an independent church, at the corner of Noble and South streets. A photograph or daguerreotype of the late Governor Whitcomb, of Indiana, is wanted at the Executive Department of State for the artist lo paint his portrait by. Mrs. Milton Kimberlin, of Lexington, died on the 13th instant, from the effects of running a rusty pail into the sole of her loot. Connersville has sent forth one United States Senator, Hon.

Horses and mules, of superior equality are plenty in the southern counties of the State. Buyers are traveling through the country purchasing all that are offered at prices ranging from 170 to $175 for horaes and (75 to f 150 for mules, the range of price being governed by quality and age. On Saturday, a short distance above Williamson's Landing, and nearly opposite Henderson, Kentucky, while Paniel Richardson and Silas P. Casey were "poling" a small flatboat up stream, they got into a dispute, wbeu the former struck the latter over the bead with a gun-barrel, from the effects of which Casey died shortly afterward. The band of alleged horse-thieves arrested some weeks ago, in Daviess County, on the evidence of one Stephenson, who claimed to have been one of their number, who had repented, were acquitted last Saturday, the Judge having instructed the jury that before they could bripg in e verdict ofguilty, Stephenson's evidence should be corroborated by some other reliable witness, and it was not. On last Wednesday evening, near East Enterprise, Mr. Daniel Heath, while eugaged in running a threshing machine, step

and had his foot caught in the machinery, which mashed it terribly, partially tearing it off at the first joint. So tightly was the foot caught in the machinery that the latter had to be taken apart before the sufferer could be relieved from his fearful and painful position,' and it stopped the four horses attached to the machine. On Thursday Doctor William Gillespie, assisted by Doctors Sumoers and Sage, of East Enterprise, and Vanosdol, of Allenville, amputated the leg below the knee. At last accounts the unfortunate .man waa doing well, under the circumstances. Saturday afternoon a shocking affair occurred at Richmond, which resulted in the death of Harry Todd, a bright lad of fifteen, whose parents reside in the city. Harry went out for a few hours hunting with two companions, and, feeling tired, wandered from the others and laid down by a tree to rest. One of the boys coming towards him, mistook n luck of hair which eould be seen at the foot of the tree for a squirrel, and fired, the shot taking effect in Harry's temple, and killing him almost instantly. The. boys were the Lest of friends. A terrible accident happened a few days ago in Jefferson township, Allen county, a few miles east of New Haven. Haden Wilkina was managing a threahing ma ehine, wheat his foot slipping was eaught tn one of the wheels, which drew the whole limb in to the machinerv, in which it was mutilated in n horrible manner. Amputation was found to be necessary, and the operation was performed on the spot. The unfortunate man is doing quite as well as could be expected under the trying circumstances. Charles Bultman was terribly mangled by the machinery io Williamson's mill, Yincennes,. Monday morning. One of hia legs has been amputated, but it is thought he can not recover from the effect of his is juries. About five o'clock Monday evening, a little girl, six years old, daughter of John Williams, n puddler at the rolling mill, Indianapolis, while standing on bridge ovef the canal, playing with a dog in the water, lost her balance and was drowued. Her mother came up just in time to see her little hands as they were thrown up toward her for the last time. Anthony Gbaraty, a blacksmith at Ruabville, while attempting to shoe a vie ioua horse, last Wednesday, was instantly killed by a kick from the animal. On Monday afternoon a workman named Patrick Gill was killed on the railroad track, near the Central freight depot, in Indianapolis. He waa repairing tha bed at the time, and as a freight train waa slowly backing up he was shouted at to get out of the way, but unfortunately stepped the wrong way and was horribly mutilated. He was about twenty seven years of age, end married. Nearly one half the typesetting on the Paris literary papers is done by women. Senator Morton will speak in Cleveland, Ohio, on the 7th of October. The journey of Vice President Colfax from Columbia to San Francisco was a continuous ovation, and the trip ooe of unmixed pleasure. Mr. Colfax will attend the sittings of the Grand Lodge of. Odd Fallows, and start for home about the 4th prox. The Archbishop and the Schools. In the matter of the proposed conference between the School Board and the authorities of the Koman Catholic Chnrch, to see if an arrangement can be made by which the children of Catholics csn be brought into the public schools, a memorandum was presented from the Archbishop last night, laying down two general propositions, one being, io substance, that Catholics can not'glve up the control of the education of their children wholly to the State, and the other that tbey can not consent that education shall be wholly separated from the religious instruction which tbey hold essential, and stating that if an arrangement can be made recognised these rights of conscience as they are recognized in some other named countries, he will be glad to eoter into it. This, it will be noted, is a question distinct from that of the removal of the Bible from the public schools, which the Catholic organ says they have no interest in. It was also stated verbally that the Archbishop desired the Conference Committee continued till his return from the Ecumenical Council, to see if that would make any modifloation of the existing regulations of the church, which, as our readers have observed in the Pope'a Encyclical and Syllabus of Errors, forbids the sending of Catholio children to nonCatholio schools. It appears by the Arch bishop's statement of geoeral principles that he ia not looking to a oomprowiee by way of abolishing all religious instructions from the public aehools, but rather to aome arrangement by which religious instruction may he imparted and the rightaof conscience regarded. It is evident also from the demonstration lately made that Protestants will not consent to abolish all religious instruction from the public schools. Whether the matter oao be arranged, so that each caa have their own religious instruction io the schools, will be the shape of the question when it next comes up. The committee waa discharged, but this only makes way for the appointment of a better one when tha time comes. G xette. The time for holding the election in the State of Texas has been extended over four days, at the request of General Reynolds, who represented that under the local law there is but one voting preeinct in a county, and the counties being large, it would be impossible for the voters to reach the precinct, in many instances, in one day in time to vote. The same ruling will be extended to Mississippi, upon a similar request from General Ames. Tha Administration intends to have a full and fair elect ion.-Journal.

Some of our Democratic friends in differ ent parts of the State, having worried themselves about the constitutionality of tbe act passed at the last session ot the Legislature providing for biennial elections, Governor Baker has addressed a letter upon the subject to a friend of. his, a copy of which is elsewhere - published. It will be found to be a complete and conclusive defense of the aot, leaving bo possible room to doubt its constitutionality or the effect of its provisions. The opinion of Governor Baker upon a constitutional question will be received by men of all parties without hesitancy, aod we may consider the probability or a contest of tbe Election Law before tbe courta too remote to provoke further comment. Journal. Our readers will be glad to learn . that the Hon. Oliver P. Morton, United Statea Senator from Indiana, has consented to deliver the opening lecture in the Franklin Lyceum course next month.

Few men in the public service rival him in the vigor of Lis style, in power of rich aod varied illustrations, and io fullness of information. We are not informed of the subject of his discourse, but we risk nothing in saying that his treatment of it, both io manner and in matter, will abundantly reward the cultivated audience that will listen to it. Providence Journal. : Abrams Sentenced to Life Imprisonment. Indianapolis, September 19. Judge Wilson yesterday afternoon overruled the motion for a new trial in the Abrams case, and sentenced him to imprisonment for life, according to the verdict of the jury. He still protested his innocence, and desired to be sent to' the Southern Prison, but the Judge bad no discretionary power in the matter, and he' will be sent to Michigan City. '' '

n ' Geographical Democracy. , ' It is a littlo significant that in every State where campaign is in progress which promises . to .be . at a)l closely contested, tbe full force of the Democracy is expended against the pending Constitutional amendments as being tbe latest embodiment of the everlasting "nigger" question, a problem against which the imbecile old organisation has been buttin for a score of years and with an unvarying measure of success or failure, as it mav be pleased to term it. In States where' the Republican majority is so overwhelming that no appeal can be made to this unmanly prejudice, as in Massachusetts, Idwa and Wisconsin, we" find the party either' acquiescing with or , ignoring i the Amendment. Iu Massachusetts John Q'jiney Adams is nominated; io i lows a resolution opposing the Amendment is tabled, and io Wisconsin the - Democracy throws up its bat at tbe coming negro. It not this evident falsehood and deception on the part of an organisation which sounds such large claims to be tbe only National one in existence, suggestive of what tbey would do if they ever get tbe power? They are skillfully angling in all waters for votes, and throwing out just such flies as will be most popular in different localities. Tbey are national in no eease; tbey have no national principle or aim, except it be the aim to obtain power, and revivify tbe antiquated .and exploded dogmas of Rebellious Democracy. If there ever was a time when the Republican party needed to preserve its organixation intact, aod its powers for warfare unimpaired, it is now, in the face of this upscropalous demagoguism and ad captnndum policy. It means evil to the cardinal principles of the reconstructed RepublM. Journal. . The Sentinel is committed to negro suf. frige. Ia its issue of Saturday it says: "The Journal is very much alarmed over the political situation. It does not like tbe advanced movements of tbe Democra- ,, "Advanced movements" is exactly the phrase used by the Chicago Times, Johu Quiticy Adams and the Southern Democracy to express their acceptance of negro saffrage, atd the other results of the war. To have the Sentinel thusgive forth fruits meet for repentance, to see it t'sege-ne rated" in fact as well as in name, reassures us in regard to the political situation. Tbe "situation" is satisfactory to the Journal. Journal. NEW ADVERT I S E. M E NTS
