INDIANA STATE NEWS.

Nineteen lawyers constitute the“B*r” of Knox County. Th*. small-pox is creating considerable alarm at Grand View. Tint Worthington Sun is dead. From its ash* the Journal will arise. 1 >jj Assistant State Geologist Bobdkn is about to begin a geological survey of Decatur and adjoining counties. Thw outrageous conduct of a Kaightetown young woman compelled relatives- to fasten her to the floor with chain and staple. - - : n * t Crawford Brown, of Perry County, sold a boat-load of prodoee in New Orleans, and had about SI,BOO of the money in his trunk on the Reporter when she banned. A raw days ago, at Mayville, a suburb of Terre Haute, a party of roughs, beaded by one Berber, kicked and beat a physician named Mercer so severely that he died three days after. Judge Baldwin, of Logansport, will deliver the Alumni oration at Franklin College on the 14th of June. His subject will be The Defects in the Constitution of the United States.’' The Lafayette Courier speaks of “ the Hon. 8. S. Cdx, President of the Wabash & Western Railroad.” Sunset will be surprised to find that he is President of a railroad. Miss Cabbie M. Crane, a talented young artist who was lost on the Schiller, was a sister of Milton A. Crane, of Terre Haute. . She was on her way to join her unde, Geo. P. Marsh, Minister to Rome. It was a hardware man who remarked, upon seeing a young Terre Haute lady walking with some of her country cousins ofWfeom she was evidently ashamed' that"; he. hated to see people act so “superstitiously” toward poor relations. Preston Campbell, a young farmer of Sullivan County, bought a dose of strychnine at Shelburn the other morning, swallowed it and died in half an hour. He was unnprrted, and trouble about a woman was thought to be the cause. / The Madisim. Courier says: “Oneof '.our attorneys was making a red-hot speech the other day before a jury, and became so warmed up in bis argument that he pulled off hfe coat to it. The Judge cooled his enthusiasm by compelling him to put it on again.” ‘ - - The Kokomo Democrat “ doubts if any city in Indiana can boast of so few business failures in proportion to the tion as Kokomo. We do not believP there is a city in the State of less than 10,000 population whose business will show up as well or any better than that of our own thriving, wide-awake city.” { The house of John R. Bell, in Evansville, was struck by lightning during a recent storm. The occupants did not know that it was on firt until the second story was Eblaze and they were almost 1 overpowered by the heated smoke. The servant girl escaped by jumping from'the second-fftpry window, but she was terribly and jirwiably fhtally burned.

? The Heptasophs recently held a session at Indianapolis, at which the following officers were elected for the current year: Hon. W. E. Foster, of Virginia, Supreme Archon; R. H. Morrison, of Michigan, Chancellor; O. R. Dudley, of Virginia, Prevost; S. B. Wolf, of Maryland, Secretary; W. S. Cone, of Indiana, Treasurer; U. B. Wilson, of Missouri, Prelate; D. J. Grady, of Texas, Inspector-General; J. Ortner, of Ohio, Herald; J. L. A. Green, of Illinois, Guide; J. E. Whicher, of California, Warder, and G. S. Hubbard, of Virginia, Sentinel. The Supreme Conclave will meet in Philadelphia next year. 1 Bill Rodifer recently made another attempt to tescape from the JeffersOhville State Prison at three o’clock in ; ;the morning. One of the guards heard a noise as if some one was using a heavy implement on the walls of a cell. * On making an examination ho was suddenly confronted by thhisrisoner -armed with a revolver. The guard retreated for help, and. further examination proved that Rodifer in some mysterious manner secured the keys, unlocked the cell door and silently seized the inside guard, disarmed him and threw him into the cell, locking him in, and then made an attempt to knock a hole in the wall large enough to escape. He failed and was locked up. Walter H. Wild, Superintendent of the Buckeye Cannel Coal Company, Cannelbdijg, suicided riecently. The Washington Gazette says: “On Thursday morajng 'Mr,. Wild purchased a bill of goods from a commercial traveler, it is said, mid a short time afterward the agent, on leaving, called to bid Mr. Wild goodby, and telling him to take good care of himself, which Mr. W. said he would do. Hethea walked into his room over the company’s store, where it appears he indited a letter, stating that he had been seeing a great deal of financial trouble of late, and informing his brother Edward, in Cincinnati, the particulars of his imaginary transactions, and giving embarrassments as the cause es the rash act he was about to commit. This letter was not signed, but the handwriting Was recognized as his. It appeared as if he had not completed the letter, hut rose up, seated himself on the bed, and with a navy revolver, the muzzle placed to the side of the head, discharged it, almost literally ■hooting the top of his head off. Another letter found in his pocket and directed to •'hie brother Edward was of the same purport 93 the one named above, and this was written- two days before, one on the 4th and the other on the 6th.”

Ilf order to preserve eggs as long as possible it is necessary to prevent the contact of air with their interior by closing the pored of the shell. It has been recently asserted that the most efficacious means of doing this is by the employment of soluble glass. This substance, which is a silicate of sodium, forms with the calcium car* bon ate which composes the shell a hew compound—calcium silicate—thus inclosing the shell in an impermeable coating. The soluble glass should be used as a solution of a sirupy consistence. Use eggs, previously well cleaned, are plunged into the solution for a half hour, beiugremoved from time to time to ascertain that the solution is thoroughly in contact with them. They are finally withdrawn, dried and placed on shelves which are eUher bored full of holes or covered with grain husks. They should be preserved in a dry'place.— N. 7.

How Jones Killed Himself.

' ' • * AuE*s*JoiMß,a young feller » our place, proposed a, abort timggm Ao a certain Julia Bangs, over at Wilmington, and Julia refused him. He was perfectly desperate his defeat andsfeis friends feared Hfaat totoe evil consequences vrould ensue. *s|eiris&pprei»n--sions were realized. Jones called upon Peter Lamb, and isteed him if he had a revolver, and Peter said he had. Jones did so.- Then Jones iiifSrated he had made op Ida mind to commit suited. |Te aaid since Miss Bangs had-deaft s<? mridhffiy With him lie test that life wftft. an .jpsupjijyctnble burden, and he could find reliefonlyin uie tomb. He intended to go down by the riveT shore'and there blow out his brains, and so en(f all this suffering and grief, and bid farewell to a world that had grown dark to him. He said'that he mentioned the faet to Lamb in confidence because he wanted him to perform some little offices for him when he was gone. He intrusted to Lamb a sonnet entitled “ A Last Farewell,” and addressed to Julia Bangs. This he asked should be delivered to Miss Bangs aa soon as his corpse was diaoovered. He said it might excite a pang in her bosom and induce her to cherish his memory. Then he gave Pet<Br hie watch as a keepapie, and handed him forty dollars with which he desired Mr. Lamb to purchase a tombstone. He paid he would prefer a plain one with lus simple name -cut upon it, and he wanted the funeral to be as unostentatious as possible. Peter promised to fulfil these commission!, and he suggested that he Would lend Mr. Jones a bqwie-knife with which he could slash h|tosdf up if the pistol failed. But the suicide Said that he would make Bure work with the rCvolvCr, although hie was much obliged for the offer all the same. He said he would like Lamb to go around in the morning and break the news us- gently as possible to his Afihappy toother, and to tell her that his last, thought was of her. But he particularly requested that she would not put on mourning for her erring son. Then he said that the toffpV act .would be performed on the beaqh, just below the gas-works, and he wished Peter to come but With some kind of a vehicle to bring the remains home. If Julia came to the funeral she was to have a seat in .the carriage next to the hearse, and if she wanted his heart it was to be given to her in alcohol. It beat only for her. Peter was to tell bis employers at the store that he parted with them with jpgret, but doubtless they would find some other person more worthy of their confidence and esteem. .He said he didn’t care where he was buried, Sut let it be in some lonely place fgr from the turmoil and trouble of 'the world, some place where sljje Jgrass gafew where the birds came to carol In the early spring-time., . Mr. Lamb asked him if" he preferred a deep or a’shadow gr|M* bdt iMr. Jones said it made verylittja^ffeiendce—when the spirit Was gbfie theftidle &rrshly-e!ay was of little aceount.

Thfn he .ahook hands with Peter and went away to his awful doom. . /’ The next morning Mr. Lamb Wrotd ’to Julia, stopped in to fell them at the store, and nearly ! killed Mrs. Jones with the intelligence. Then he’-bdf'Mwed Cbofef s wagon, and taking with him the Cidroner he drove out to the beach just below the gas-works to fetch home the mutilated corpse. When they reached the Spot the body was-hot therb, a»ch Fdtet vsaid he waswepy much afraid ith&d De’en washed away by the flood-tide. So they, drove up to Keyser’s house, about half a mile from the shore, to ask if any of the folks there had heard the fatal pistolshot or seen the body. On going around to the wood-pile they saw Keyssrdwlding a terrier dog backed close up against a log. The dog’s tail was lying across the log and another man had the ax uplifted. A second later the ax descended and cut the tail off close to the dog, and, while Keyser restrained the fraiitidAnimal, the othertaan touched the bleeding stump with caustic. As they let the dog go Lamb was amazed to see that the chopper was the wretched suicide. He was amazed, but before 1 he could ask any questions Aleck stepped up to, him and said: *' “Hush-sh-sh! Don’t say anything about that matter. I thought better of it. The pistol looked so*blamed dangerous when I. cocked It that I'changed my mind and cams down here to Keyser’s to stay all night. Itn going to live just tb spite that Bangs girl,” Then consider fie had beeif treatljS’like a gem tleman, and h« had half *ao*on to give Mr. Jones a pounding. But they alldrove home in the wagon, and, just as. Mrs- Jones,got done hugging Aleck, a. letter was handed him containing the that he had sent Julia. She returned it with the remark that it was the awfullest slush she ever read, and that she knew he • hadn’t courage enough to kill himself. Then Aleck went back to the store, and was surprised to find that his employers had so little emotion as to dock him for half a day’s absence. What he wants now is to ascertain If he eannot compel Peter Lamb to give up that watch. Lamb says he has too much respect for the memory of his unfortunate friend to part with it, but he is reaUy sorry now that he ordered that tombstone. O* birthday Jones’ bleeding" heart had Seen so'far stanched as to enable hitn to begin skirmishing around, the affections of a named Matilda M«f]ef£hmd , if sWritfdses him he thinks that tombstone may yet come into play. But we all have our doubts about it— Max Adder, in New York Weekly.

Drilled or Hilled Corn.

Drilling corn—». e., raising it in continuous rows about jhree and onethalf feet apart, and a,stalk once in about si* inches in the.row—undoubtedly gives, more corn and more stalks to the acre) than planting in hHls, thiec ieat apart &aoh was, for th© very simple fetfipntbftt

High farming admits of drills, and two of the best this country ever had—John Johzison, near Geneva, and A. B. Dickinson, formerly of Steuben County, N. Y.—both practiced raising their com crops in drills. Bat they were in the habit of planting corn on clean land, preferring to kill weeds while raising crops that required less manual labor and admitted of mote horse work.—if. Y. Tribune.

Early or Late Planting.

; Is it best to plant as early as possible or to defer the work as long as can be safely done? This is a question in which all farmers are interested, and to which eaehyear they are practically obliged to reply. While there are many advocates for each of these extremes, I think there' is a “ golden mean” which will lend to much better results. Either of the extremes is open to grave objections, which do not tie against a time half way/ between. It is true, as the advocates of early planting claim, that, if the seed iB got into the ground vety earty, ‘ the wojk is tyne and out of the way of other tilings which then need attention. But the objections to this course are that the ground and weather are so cold earty in the season that the seed ■either rots in the ground or else is a long' while coming up; often falls si prey to wire-worms; the plants, if any appear, are tender and grow, very slowly, while the which are more hardy, at onoe go in ftnd possess the land. Lhte planting is not Open to these objections, but it is open to some which are quite serious. - If the season is back-

ward and the planting is put off as late as possible, the plants are not large enough to be hoed more than once before haying-time, and there is danger that the crop will not be fully matured before the autumn frosts. I think the best way is to begin the preparation of the 4and, quite early; plow, and get it Deariy fitted* to receive the seed. Keep plowing and fitting hut do not put in the *eed until both ground r *nd weather ’are pi an®. Then go over the land with a harrow in order to destroy. the weeds which have started up andwlso to make a fine bed for the seed, and do the planting as soon as possible. Then the crop will get as good a start as the weeds, grow rapidly, be ready for the second or third hoeing before time for getting hay, and have abundant time in which to gqt perfectly ripe.—Country Gentleman. . ,

Comparative Value sis Straw for Stock.

The value of straw as fodder for domestic animals will always depqnd on the condition in which* thq crop'was secured Chemists tell us that in the straw of cereal graih; when kernels have arrived at maturity, there is more or less much laginqus and saccharine matter. When the grain is in the milk-state the quantity of such material is much greater: -than it is after the period of’ perfect maturity. Sir H. Davy says: “When we allow wheat to stand uncut till the grain, is fully rsh, a portiqji: of the sugar in the sap is cjyiverted into mucilage and lost in thfe atmosphere.” Intelligent farmers understand that, when straw of any kind of grain or gtass is exposed to the alternate influences of rain, dew sunshine and drying wind, all the mucilaginous and saccharine material dissolved and washed out in a few days. But if the straw of wheat be harvested while the leaves are sdtoewjiat £reen, and be protected from the influences of the elements just alluded to by the pse of hayfpaps to cover the shocks of grain in stormy weather, the straw will f urnish a large quantity of excellent fodder for sheep or other animals. The color is always, a reliable indication of the relative amount of nutritive matter present or wanting in any kind of straw or hay. Some agricultural chemists have Tecord l ed analyses of the nutritive valae of wheat straw, feiptiiig it in sdhie instance* almost eqital..to a poor quality qf ,hay. But it is eyident to, every practiqair farmer that equal quantities of they same kind ;of straw possess widely different quantities of nutriment when the swinpfe6 were not cured alike. The leave* of grass and clover, when cured,properly, retain all their nutritive properties; but ■when allowed *to dry in the wind and sunshine, and to be wet a few times, they will make but little better fodder than,, the dry and weather-beaten leaves ot forest trees which rustle on the ground in autumn. The same is true of : wheat straw. If cut green and well cared it l will make good fodder; otherwise domestic anhaals ifilght as well be fed on pine shavings.—ls. Y. jTqmld.

The challenged party filibustered around and endeavored to avoid committing himself op this issue, but finally, pressed by the other, he positively refused to * fight. “ Not that I’m any coward,” he said, 1 "or that I’m afraid of you, but I tfas tillers an unlucky man in a fight.”— Detroit Free Pres*.

And yet it is usual when fish are caught to leave them without air (breathed in their way), and they die an unnatural death after a struggle perhaps for hours.

Crushed Wheat.—Add one part crushed White wheat to .two parts boiling water, stirring sufficiently to remove the lumps; then cover close and set It where it will continue to simmer. Cook it at least thirty minutes. It will improve with three times that amount of time, but will be KKelyto dry on to the kettle and be wasted. If ycu steam it or cook it in a double boiler three or four hours will not hurt it. Serve warnj oy cold, with or without trimifatiigs. If/ou wish to warm it steam thoroughly Without breaking.

Destroying Grasshoppers.

The farmers of Oxford township, Johnson County, Han., have been experimenting on scheme;*, to, destroy the young grasshoppers, >or so diminish their number* as to reduce their ravages. Several experiments-show that by ditcfhing and driving the grasshoppers into the ditches they can then throw straw'nyer them and hum them, of cover them up and thus destroy myriads of them. One farmer, Mr. Riley, with the assistance of his wiser afi# Children, last week, destroyed opr two bushels of thefn in this way, jto "a clay and a half. Thursday night & public meeting was held at which the, subject was discussed* and .toemethods employed and their jelative success stated, and the meeting resulted in ja determination of the farmers of that township to co-operate generally in the ditching method. .• / The most successful, way to employ this method is to set stakes and stretch canvas afound them to the form Of a V. Dig ditches inside df the Canvas, and. drive the young grasshopper into the ditches. In,this case the ditches need not he deep, as the canvas stops, the young grasshoppers and confines :, them in the ditches. They can theif "be Cohered with St'raw and bus ned or tooyerad with earth. > ; q This plan iaj all the more successful from the fact that the young grasshoppers are yet without wings amt .cannot!’ fly over the. dhebefr and that they are confined to spots where the ground was bare last fall. By taking these* spots it is not an extensive task to clear a farm of ttieto.

In 1867, When the situation was about the same as now, a Mr. Kennedy, in that {neighborhood, employed this method and saved, his crops, whjty his neighbors suffered severely. ,A general participation of the.neighborhood of Oxford .is as-* sured anfi the people would like to see other localities employ the same or scripe other method and .notes, fpr future benefit.
