From partial reports received the department of agriculture is enabled to estimate that the cotton crop will at least be equal to that of last year. sg R : LAsT TUESDAY a number of gentlemen favorable to orgahizing a new party, met in Cincinnati, listened to a few exciting speeches, passed a series of resolutions, and then adjourned. . : ; e N ot The Ligonier BANNER says: “One of the essential requirements of the Democracy to-day is aleacer”. There’s Tweed and Jeff Davis. Help yourself.—Hikhart Observer. .- - Not any, if you please/ Because you choose to follow sucli leaders as Cameron, Tom Murply, * Pomeroy, Caldwell, Mosby, Wise, and Longstreet, does not argue that our selec‘tion must be made from like material, e e A EIVELY DISCUSSION is being earried on between the Democrats and Liberal Republicans lof Oliio. Tt’s all about the name under which the several elements are to sail in the impending contest. A good deal of nonsense has thus far been uttered on both sides, and if the quarrel continues, it is quite likely that “all Gon('zel'ned” will be handsomely scooped out ‘when harvest time comes round! -

SPAIN is again in actual war—the insurgents having made several successful attacks;u);.r)bn the government troops. Whatithese restless Spaniatrds are fighting about is hardly intelligible to the average mind. We ourself have taken but little interest in their troubles, hence we shall not attempt fo t(;ll- our readers what little we may know of Spanish affairs. When they ouce get to the killing business on a gigantic scale, we’ll take some paing to ascertain the cause of ajl this bluster. | o L

. THE editor of the Warsaw Union Yindulges in a brief fi?m‘v’est home sermon. It is right to the point: “The ’farmet;s hdve gone through their harvesting. Their pay day has come, but. before they can draw their pay they will have to pass through a toll gate and pay the tariff. The products of the farmers will have to go through five or six hands before it reaches the consumer. The first one skinned is the farmer, the last one is the consumer. The Grangers are endeavoring to remedy this evil, and in some pavts are succeeding first-rate.”

Toe Rev. T. W. WARE delivered an orgtion at Boston on the Fourth of Juiy. Among many other things, the reverend gentleman remarked; “Has it come to this that America can undertake nothingfwithoufi a scandal annexed, a suspicion at least, a Vienna KExposition, a KFreedman’s Bureau, a Pacific Railway, a Presidential canipaign, a Washington tl'e:),tjf?f Are we to be followed all the time by the incompetency, t'he.dishonesty, the blundexs of those who are by our system foistedlintp places, if not of trust, of conspicuousness—we can’t say honor \\?here no honor is.” e

SENATOR MORTON made his first visit to Kansaslon 'tlie 21st, on his return from Colorado. Ile stopped at T.eavenworth, where he \vas honored with agrandfreception. The telegraph informs us that in “responce to I'epefited calls from the large throng of people assembled in the street, Mr. Morton made a short gpeech, in the course | of which: he stated his vistit had no ~ political purpose in view, and expressed the opinion that all questions tending to di?ide the. country and array ~one section against another had been ,settled.” We are glad the Senator has ‘at last made this discovery. Tt took him a long time to ascertain the fact, Indeed, this declaration is wholly at variance with his assertions” during the late campaign, whén he insisted that “treason andl loyalty” were still at issue. The Senator evidently takes quite a different view of issues «fter an election than he does hefore— Reckless demagogues always do.

. THESIMPLEST CURE FOR DIAR\"RIIEA OR SUMMER CoMPLAINT.—Take one gill of rice and place it in a spider over the fire, stirring it constantly until thoroughly brown. Do not burn it. As soon as it is thoroughly brown, fill the spider with boiling water and let it boil till thie mass is of the consistency of thin paste. If the rice is not cooked perfectly soft, add a little . mhore water and let it boil away again. -Be careful at the last moment that it does not burn on the bottom. When cooked soft, turn into a bowl, sweeten with loaf or crushed sugar, and salt to suit the taste. Eat in milk, . The editorof the Wenonah Advocate { says he has made use of the above remedy “for nearly twenty years, has ‘ihduced hundreds of others to use it, - and never knew of jts failure to cure in a few' hours. It'#s rarely necesgary th repeat the dose.’ A remedy so simple, so harmless, and so readily accessible, should be published in every pai per in the land.” . e

Robbers and Desperadoes Attacking o Railroads in lowa. Four miles west of Adair, Towa, on the evening of the 21st inst., the Chi cago, Rock Island & Pacifie passenger train was ditched by a gang of thieves and desperadoes. The robbers placed some kind of an obstfuction on a sharp curve, and as John Rafferty, the engineer, saw it, they shot him dead from the bank. The engine was thrown on her side into the diteh, a baggage car upon the bank, and _another baggage car was upset in the diteh. 'The passenger coaches remained nearly alt right. The track was somewhat torn up. Several passengers were hurt slightly, none dangerously. Fherobbers were masked, and, after opening and emptying the safe of the express messenger of its eontents, they rode off on horseback. ~ Later accounts say the attack was made by a band of six or eight ruffians, who weére masked and “Heavily armed; that the engineer was killed while applying the air-brake; that the passengers were threatened with death should they leave the cars: that the express agent {»vibs forced to deliver valuables at the pistol’s mouth; that the robbers carried off $l7OO in money, and that the excitement is so intense over the bold rolfbery that summary lynching is predicted in case of the raiders’ capture. . - In the same State a train onthe Central Railroad ran off the track near the junction of the Burlington & Missouri Railroad; at mid‘night on Saturday, some despicable wretch having broken the lock and turned the switch. Immediately upon the discovery of the deviltry, dispatehes were sent to . conductors on all trains passing thro* Tlowa to wake up the telegraph operators at every station, and to use all possible means to secure the arrest of i the desperadoes.

e The Shakers. . * Flom an eastern exchange we learn that the shakers are seriously discussing the propriety of introducing mar--I'ia.ée as a new elemeént of union in their warfare with the world. This would intreduce a change in theirline of doctrinal defense, but it would not be the first time a religious body has accommodated itsélf to cireumstances. During and after the war they recruited their numbers from widows :md orphans, and those whom battle had impoverished, but now their resources are at an end, and some of t-heiir colonies are threatened with extinction. As a rule, new converts do not stay with them longer than four or fi\'e'ymrs;’ Then the iron band of resfl;f‘aint grows too severe, and tl‘yley fly back to the world and its temptations. How can it be otherwise? In the{r “families” the domestie ties are unknown, marriage is banished, and little children are made to .ape the grayity of their elders. There are no toys and picture books in Shaker land, no fireside games and frolics, no courtship and marriage—nothing but the grim, severe doctrine ofi self-abnega-tion, of which converts quickly tire. el A B——— | e Circuit Prosecutor. A Special Election will have to be held this fall to fill the office ‘of Prosecuting- Attorney, now being filled by W. B. McConnell, Esq." by appoint-ment-from the Gévernor. In view of the fact that that is the only office to be filled, several members of the’ Bar have suggested the propriety of not holding any convention, but let all those who desire the suffrages of the peoile for that office to announce themselves dnd take their chances.— It 1§ an office that should be held withoutireference to party, and we think thaé there will be better general satisfaction to let the. people select without reference to nomination. What say our neighbors interested in this matter? Speak and let your thoughts be known ?—Steuben Republican. So far as we have been able to ascertain the eurrent of popular opinion, there is a general acquiescence in the recommendation that Mr, McConnell be contihued in the position which he ‘has thus far filled with credit to himself and to the utmost satisfaction of the people. | - o ] G BE— e - What the Tariff Has Done. In his able lecture on political econ.omy, recently delivered -in England, our fermer Spécial (Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Hon: David Wells, summed up the result of the protective system for ten years in this country in the following suggestive passage: “With every possible advantage in its favor it has swept the commerce of the United States from the ocean, destroyed the export trade in respect to nearly all the manufactured products, harassed and vexed the entire mercantile community, impoverished the hgrieulturist, -unequally affected the distribution of wealth, and by increasing the cost of all tools and implements of production imposed a'tax on the wlhole nation so grievous that its further continuance has become almost a matter of impossibility.” ’

L All in Vain, P That high-toned republican journal, the Nation, in discussing the Drew letter about Colfax’s connection with the Credit Mobilier swindle, says:— “We think Mr. Colfax may rest assured that the public has its mind made up about this business, and the Nesbitt business also, and that he will do as well to leave both of them alone. Hig private standing among his friends would seem to be satisfactory enough —to him and them, at any rate; and, .as we suspect, his publie reputation and political future are ill worth the labor and pains he is bestowing upon them.” Quite correct, i :

SAyYs the Baltimore Gazette: Some of the Boston newspapers are earnestly advocating the teaching of the art of sewing to the girls in the public schools. Nothing could be more sensible or practical; and if the same course of study, coupled with instruction in the seience of cookery, were adopted in those private schools where too often only fashionable poligh is put on the female character, society would be much better and happier.

CHOLERA AT MT. VERNON, IND * The telegraphic announcement of t_h,e prevalenge o;_f cholera at Mt. Vernon, a thrh;;ng “city” of southern Indiana, (population about 3,ooo§is fully: ‘confirmed by the Democrat pubhgbgd in’that place. Owing to the epidemic, both papers published there were obliged to issue half sheets. From the Democrat’s statement we glean the following: ; = - “The cholera prevails here as ar épidemic to an extent that quakes the fear of strong men. In comparison toour population, the fatality exceeds Nashville. The cold rains of last week gave impetus to the scourge, and it spread with fearful rapidity. There were nine corpses in the city on Friday morning, eight on Saturday, six on Sunday and five on Monday, New casés were more numerous on Monday last, but the fatality less. Allthe physicians of the city worked like Tro-" Jans. They were up early and late, and did all that mortal men could do to stop the progress of the scourge.— i Drs. Spencer, Weaver, Blunt, and | Pearce are justly entitled to the eter- 1 nal gratitude of the people of the city. So far, the high and healthy part of | the city has escaped. . Bellville, and the part of town adjacent to Mill Creek is most infected. In Bellville it is particularly severe.. Yesterday but few new cases were reported, and those yielded more rapidly to medical treatment. The city isnow thoroughly disinfected, and our people are more hopeful.” ' ; i The Board of Health has issued stringent orders for tlie cleansing of the city and the disinfecting of all localities where offensive matter of any kind has been allowed to accumulate. The Mayor issued the following proclamation: , MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION, =

. I will have established by évening a cordon of fires of coal tar around the city. These fires will be kept up for twenty-four hours. The citizens must keep up the small fires in front of their respective dwellings. ’ ~ Coal tar will be distributed in the various wards. Diseretion. is necessary in the use of it. Gather together your refuse and trash and fire it, after saturating it with tar. - The city is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected. The work will be accomplished by évening. ; Every citizen should be a committee to examine all places from -which an impure and foul atmosphere might arise. Be vigilant in this. Citizens of Mt. Vernon, be true to yourselves, and to your city. Cleanliness and courage will save us. Benot. afraid. Fear has killed more people than cholera. Do your whole duty in this sad emergency. 'lf every man acts promptly and judiciously a very few days will see the malady conquered. Help will soon arrive. Our sister city, Evansvilleis sending her doctors to our assistance. Do not let fear get the better of you. . Application to any city offieer for help or disinfection, will be promptly atiended to. ' : U. G. DAMRON, Mayor.

A telegram dated Evansville, July 20, gives later accounts of the terrible scourge. It says: “Sevel‘alinew cases have been reported, and §six deaths have occurred in the city and three near the suburbs. More than one-half of the population haveleft town, many hundreds of them coming to this eity, and others are now preparing: toleave unless a favorable change oecurs immediately. No pretense of business has been made for several days, and the city has a most gloomy appearance: Physicians have arrived from several of the surrounding towns and arerendering all assistange in their power. Among the deaths to-day were Dr. Malsedorf, a young German physicia: of much promise, " who has since the appearance of the epidemic been most active in his efforts in behalf of tlie sick and dying, and John Woody and two daughters. The latter were the last of a family of ten who have within the week been cut down by the terrible disesse. 'lt has occurred in three distinet cases that four deaths have oecurred in a single family, in one instance leaving' but one living; but there has been no' case equalling in sadness this one. An appeal has been made to this city for physicians and nurses, those already there being worked down. The work of disinfecting is still in progress. o

Hazardous Adventure of Excursion- ’ - ists. Daniel McDonald, a member of the Northern Indiana Editorial Excursion party which has just returned from Duluth, relates an incident which will be read with interest by the friends and former associates of one of the participants—“Tink” Wa(‘_lsworth.' ‘Writing from Sant St, Marie, -‘which is described as one of the oldest: villages on the American continent, Mr. McDonald proceeds to say: The famous Ship Canal, completed in 1866, is located between the rapids and the city, and is a great object of interest to those who haye never seen it. It is one mile long, has two locks, each 350 feet long by 70 feet wide, and is deep enough to admit the passage of the largest vessel on thelake. Itis said to have cost about twelvemillion dollars. Improvements have heen made since it was first completed costing about one and a half million dollars. It is a grand work and its value to American commerce cannot be estimated. The rapids here are very swift, dashing over the rocks so rapidly that fish that are so unfortunate as to geb into the current are sure to be killed before they can get through. The Indians are “wigwamed” here in considerable numbers and paddle their canoes across, up and down therapids with apparently as much ease. as if it were a common running. stream.— While waiting for our boat to pass tirough the locks of the caual, Mr, ‘Wadsworth, (%’h and Mrs, Farghar, of gaporte, and Mr.: Bedell, of Crown oint, concejved thefidea that it would be a genuine sensatioti to go over the rapids jn an Indian canoe, and accordingly em}'li\loyed a couple of red skins to take them over. ’prey got into the canoe above the rapids, and as near as they can remember, they went over a distance of about a mile in two minutes. It was an event to be told to their children in years to come, but it was an “excursion” not on our rprogramme, and I hardly think the “pleasurable” sensation experienced would ‘pay for the risk incurred. It is said a similar party undertook to go over a number of years ago, and were dashed a insg the rocks and have neyer since ggen eard of, The %qdians here are of the Chippewa tribe, and make their living by catching white fish with, dip-nets about the rapids— Their wigwams are made of birch tree bark, -and the interior 6f the one we toolsa peep.into, contained an an{duaied pyuaw teptly blind, 3 yaung, Indian hoy pnd & yo Loppoge, gO, was a dozen times more filfhy thap an Indian pig pen. e !

~ THE NEW DRAINING LAW, ~ We have been ’é‘guested to publish the new law ‘rela@g to draining amd ditching, as enflcté‘@é’ by’film 8 {54 lature. To publish the efihre&ct ¢ ixld! occupy too large a portion p%fim Price, but we find i the Kentland Gazette, o synopsis which will probably be more acceptable to the general reader than the verbatim publication of the law jtself. Parties who may wish to organize & company under this Taw can find the act in full by applying to a Justice of the Peace. The following are the main features: o =

It provides that not less than five persons inierested may associate themselves together in the work, and file articles of association’at the Recorder’s office.

The Board has power to employ engineer ard to enter upon lands that Imay be necessary to survey, and to estimate the .cost of the construction of the proposed work, and repairs from time to time. Before assessments are made, a survey and estimate of the cost of the ditches is to be made by the engineer, said estimate to be magde in sections of not over a quarter of a mile in length. - o -The Board of Directors may then ask the Board of County Commissioners to appoint appraisers, after presenting to the County Commissioners “a petition signed by a majority of the resident land owners, including members of the incorporation interested,” with proof that the land owners are petitioners, it -shall then be the duty of the Commissioners to appoint three Appraisers, who shall neither be meni--bers of the association, nor in any way interested in the proposed work; to appraise -the benefits and injuries: to the land by said work. ‘Before the Appraisers begin their work each resident land ownper affected is to be served with personal notice of the time and place the appraising will begin, and public notice is to be given to noa-resident owners, The Appraisers shall then proceed to make personal examination of said lands, and appraise the benefits and injuries, making schedules of the same in the smallest subdivisions, and assess the same “wichout regard to the cost of the work.”

. How toAvoid Cholera. : Down at Evansville they have had several cases of cholera. With characteristic enterprise the newspaper men of that flourishing city at once devoted their attention to familiarizing themselyes with the peculiarities of that dreadful disease, its treatment, and the manner in which careful persons may escapé from its visitation. How well they have succeeded may be inferred from the following extract from the Courier of that city: It is well known that in nine cases out of every ten, cholera results directly from neglecting proper precautions relative to'diet. People in very good health are very likely to persuade themselves that a small quantity of a favorite diet, whether it be cucumbers, cabbage, or- other equally dangerous vegetables, won’t hurt, and they eat. To such instances cholera is indebted for a very large proportion of its victims. Many other cases are undoubtedly the result of a neglect of proper sanitary rules, and still more result solely from nervousness. People who are constantly loading their stomachs with antidotes, usually wind up by having a pretty severe, if not a fatal, attack of cholera. Proper carg as to diet, without indulging in useless fears, is the best known antidote—no patent nostrum, or bar-room mixtures can compare with it. = e

Tuae instances of brutal violence upon little girls are becoming so numerous in this country, that it is becoming -the imperative duty of the law-makers to make the <penalty for this infamous crime more severe.— Whilst hanging is too .geod for such men, that at least should be the penalty, ‘without hope of mercy or pardon, where the evidence of guilt is positive. There is not a week, yea hardly a day, that such occyrrences of vyiolence against law and nature, are not reported from some quarter or other.— The evil is growing, and nothing but the severest penalty will checkit. It is one of the numerous evils springing from intemperance in the “free use of liquor.” Temperance ig the only preventive for this fearful evil, and the hangman's rope the only reliable check,—Selinsgrove Times, =

(From the €incinnati Daily Enqnirer of Monday.) * A Clerical Lover. . How long, O Lord, how long! When will the' heathen cease to rage, and the people cease to imagine a vain thing? When' will the preachers of the world enjoy immunity from the ‘malevolence of the men of sin? When will the teachers of the chosen people be no longer persecuted by the men of the world? Now we have a fresh installment from the virgin State of Indiana. ™This time it is not the head of a man of sermons that has been tomahawked, but the heart that has been pierced, and the inmost tabernacle thereof remorselessly exposed to the gaze of a scoffing world. -* The Rev. W. B. Hendryx weaves the pastoral crook over the Christian Church at Greensburg, Indiana. From the evidence which comes to us, the Rev. Hendryx is'a man after the correct pattern. It is not in testimony ‘that he has violated any of the Ten Commandments, and it clearly appears that he has given special attention and fidelity to the Eleventh. In fact, he seems to have overworked the new commandment, if anything. Last winter. Mr. Hendryx, poor man, was touched by the afflicting finger of Providenee. Mrs. H. was removed from sublunary scenes to the heavenly home. She died. This melancholy event took place on the 13th of Janua1y of the present year. Mr. H.is a man of promptness. He is not a man to pause or procrastinate when duty stares him in the face. Mr. I knew it was not good for him to be alone.— He.knew that even ‘Paul recommended matrimony as the less of two evils: He knew it was his'duty to have one wife as a helpmeet with him in the service of the Lord. With Christian alacrity ‘and zeal he went about the performarnce of this duty in the early hours of his bereavement. In afew

months after the death of his wife he married Miss Mary Wilson.- This act deserves , special commendation. So many men, some of them ministers of the Gospel, marry the second wife before the first is dead, that it should be remembered in Mr. H.’s favor that_he did not marry Miss' Wilson till Mrs. . was actually dead. So far there is nothing in the conduct of Mr. H. that is not worthy of approbation. But it appears that the affections of the fond parson had fallen upon another object than Mrs. H. No. 1 or Miss Wilson.— There was a member of his flock— Miss Wheatley—to whom his heart had gone out in christian tenderness and love. His engagement with this lady was currently reported for some weeks prior to his 'mar,riaige with Miss Wilson. . When he married Miss Wilson and didn’t marry Miss Wheatley, some of the members of his flock lifted up their voices in righteous indignation. Just asif the. surging, ex: pansive, irrepressible affection of this much-loving exponent of the Gospel of love could or ought to be limited to any pent-up Utica, or circumscribed by the edicts of heartless, curious, and loveless parishioners! Mr. Hendryx, as a Christian minister should do, proudly resented all interference with his own lawful loving. He insisted that he had such a proprietary interest in his own wedding as to entitle him t¢ do the marrying according to the dictates of his-own conscience.— But some of the unruly sheep of his. flosk obtained possession of the loveletters that contained the story of his passion, and what else does not appear. With the knowledge of the contents of these letters certain members of the Greensburg Christian Church commenced to persecute and pester the servant of the Lord. That thispersecution should come from the children of the world might perhaps have been expected, so perverse is the heart of ungenerate men; but that it should come from the very lambs to whom he had been so tender a shepherd, from the pérsons, .pérhaps, whom he had brought into the kingdom, from those to whom he had' administered the Gospel in séason and out of sea--son, was the most unkindest cut of: all. Tt is, doubtless, one of those afflictions through which Brother Hendryx will rise to a more exceeding welghtofplory. . ./ T @

- But these fault-finders did not. discern the things that the wayfaring man-ought to have discovered. They did not recognize the fact that Brother Hendryx has certain rights as a man and a Christian. Hath not Brother Hendryx eyes? Hath not Brother Hendryx hands, organs| dimensions, senses, affections, and passions? Ifhe meetsloveliness shall he not fall in love with it? Tf he falls in love shall he not writerlove-letters? If he writes love-letters shall they not be sacred from the unhallowed gaze of those who would pester the Apostles of the living God? But Brother Hendryx was not without a refuge and a defense,. When the chosen people deserted him then the Courts took him up. Like Brother Taylor in Louis- | ville, he fled to an earthly tribunal, and notin vain. Hesoughtan injunection. He set forth before the Court that he had had “correspondence of & . personal and confidential nature” with Miss Wheatley; “that he is informed and belieyes the defendants, to the greaf and irreparable injury of him—the plaintiff—are exposing and publishing said letters without reserve.” He further says that heis a Minister of the Gospel and regularly engagéd “in thie cause of the Christian Ministry, and that the threatened publicgtion of | these lefters would greafiy injure him, ‘and annoy and embarrass himi in his calling. 'He prays the Court for § tempordty order restraining the defendants from making any publication ‘Whfiteveg; of said. letters until a hears ing can be had, ahd the earthly tribumfi ‘to which he appealed, to” wit:— The Decatur Cireuit Court, imbued : vgifih Jnore of the spirit than the mali¢ious ¢losen peoplé, granged‘thg order restraining’ the de&%nghan 1? ’ix%p tll‘xilaking any exposure of the heart-strings of gi-omgr‘,’fién%m%u fhe st day .

"Greensbyrg,‘lgd., June 24, 1873, _ Though the fact that this reverend Jover began his correspondence with Miss Wheatley before Mrs. H. had left this wicked. ngglg may not look well, yet we feel sure that it was all right.

A son of Rev. A. Buischer, of Franklin county, about fifteen years of age, was drowned last Thursday. With his two younger brothers he was stan‘ding on an abutment viewing the flood. Suddenly the whole abutment pitched into the water, carrying down two boys. One swam out; the other got fastened some way among the debris of the abutment, and: could not escape. A short time ‘ago Dr. J. R!Brown, of Green township, St. Joseph county; ‘while rakihg hay in a field, killed a rattlesnake with his rake, Some of the poison of the snake got upon the rake handle whence it was communicated to a slight wound on his finger, producing all the effects which follow the bite of the snake. His life was saved by a prompt application of the proper remediés. - s : A liftle surgical opperation took place at the Kirtley House the other day to the astonishment of the by-stan-ders. A traveling man, accompanied by a good sized bull-dog, with a ferocious look, was laying on his lap when the owner deliberately went to whittling the dog’s ears as if they were pine shingles, cutting pieces a quarter or a half inch long, the dog showing no signs of distress or evineing even any displeasure. The brute endured other torture with-equal indifference.— Warsaw Union. b S i

| » .. - That Dead Man Found. - Xour readers will remember an item which appeared in your columns a few weeks ago, concerning the re‘mains of a man, found in Mr. Moore’s barn at North Benton. As the affair was grossly misrepresented, it is a matter of justice to Mr. Moore, that it be corrected. Part of those remains had been in Moore’s possession about two years, and part about one year, instead of six weeks, as reported, They consisted of parts of different bodies, purchased for dissection in the medical institute at Ann Arbor, Michigan, where Mr. Moore’s son was a student at the-time and who has been located for some time at Wolf Lake, Ind., instead of Auburn, as the excitists had it. They were discover--ed, not by the “stench in the neighborhood,” but through the excited curiosity of that “considerable portion,” (less than half a dozen;) of the citizens, who found the bones of an arm in a paper sack, -and anxious to know the contents of a box near by, they broke it open, and discovered the other bones. Not satisfied yet, they broke the lock to Moore’s granary, in search of other dead men, but none were found, The bones being by different bodies, packed in a box about twenty: inches square, and Mr. Moore, jr. having the skull at Wolf Lake, is reason, no doubt, why the parties were unable to recognize the features, and <thereby identify these dead men.— Waterloa Ppess. . - W o

Notable Sleepwalking. = - ° A young gentleman employed in ‘the Railroad Machine Shop was the other day somewhat- annoyed by the oceasional disarrangement of the pully connected’ with his® part of the machinery. The matter undoubtedly worked upon him to a'‘considerable extent, for about midnight he arose in his sleep,. and without spending time to get into his pantaloons, he: made his way to the shop, climbed the machinery to. the elevated shaft that runs through-the entire glistance of 600 feet, and traveled along the dizzy. height until he came to his particular portion and then deliberately set himself down: to business.: The- night watchman came along about half-past twelveand and was ‘somewhat astonished to find a young gent clothed in'nothing but his shirt busily at work-on the horizontal shaft 30 feet.above. . - “: He stopped and asked him abruptly, “what he was about up there?” andreceived the laconic answer—“fixing niy pulley.”” Not considering that it was quite safe-for the young man to be “fixing his ;pulley” at that elevated distance he set himself to work to get him down, which after a half hour™s extreme labor he sueceeded in doing, and not: until he had escortéd him nearly half way to his lodging did he wake him up and astonish him with a narrative of his adventure—Elkhart Observer, - & L e

; Insurrection in Crete. | A ~ The latest insurrection has- broken out in Crete, which has beén‘the scene of insurrections innumerable in years past. This time the insurrection has .grown out of the refusal -of the Governor, Savfet Pasha, toremit the tithes imposed for the year 1866. The National Council of the island repregented to him that the year in question ‘was that of a Cretan insutrection, and that as the land_did not produce ahything in that year, there was no consistency in calling upon the land-owners for tithes. Theé Governor, however, did not see the matter in. that light, and refused to listen to their arguments at all, whereupon they refused to pay them.: The Governor then arrested five of the recalcitrants, whereupon: the Council refused to sit, the Cretans got up in arms, and a delegation of them has gone to the . Sublime Porte to demand the dismissal. of the Governor. The Sublime Porte, however, is not disposed to dismiss ‘his Govern-. or, so that the Cretans will' have to: fight it out on that bne, .« =

' Grandest Park in the World. The State of New. York proposes to eclipse the world in the way of a park. The Governor has appointed a commission, of which ‘ex-Governor Seymour is a; member, to complete the work. The park is located in-the northern portion of the State. It ¢ontains 832,000 square acres, or 1;300 square miles, and is eovered by dense forests of fine-timber, - The site is at this time a perfect wilderness, wholly unfit for cultivation, but. variegated with mountain, lake and river; forming most picturesque scenery, and abounding with (fish; deer, ~wolves, bears, panthers and other wild animals. One great reason urged for this measure, is the preservation of timber, the protection of the health of-the country, and te prevent the . drying up of streams. The Hudson draws most of its .waters from this wild region.— Should the plan be carried ‘out, and the decorations of art and civilization added to the wild beauties of nature, this park will be, by: far, the largest and grandest place of fashionable resort and amusement in the world.

Ir THE FARMERS are in earnest, and remain so, there is no power which, can finally withstand them. *lf they are united by common -interests, and have the patience and resolution to pursue their common interests in spite of checks and reverses; they will gain their point. Of course they will meet many obstacles, and face many dangers. The railroads will fight them with money, in the courts, in the Legislatures, and at the polls, They will try.to' betray them in ‘the cawcus:and in nominating convention, They will buy their leaders, or furnish pretended leaders in pay of the roads. They [will wage a [steady, vigilant; and re‘lenting conflict with -any party that _profess to want to' squeeze the water out of their stocks, and . they will stop at nothing likely ta advance their eénds.. Yet if the railways are really oppoging the farmers, the farmers are sure, sooner or later, to throw off the yoke; and if there is no easier o» stior-. ter way of accomplishing that result, they will do it by political action.
