—Last week we-mentioned the fact that Mr. Uriah Francisco, one of our Hawpatch farmers, raised over fortytwo bushels of wheat per acre; certainly an extraordinary yield. But this week even this remarkable yield is ovreshadowed by the exhibit which our ‘worthy townsman, Mr. Matthias Marker, brings from his Hawpatch farm. From a field of 11% acres he threshed 32,736 Ibs., or 545 bushels and 36 lbs,, showing a yield of almost forty-six bushels to the acre. Now, gentlemen, we challenge the whole State of Indiana to‘a comparison, Match ius, if you can. ; ; ' —_———— e —————— ? —Accidents appear-to be quite numerous in the eastern portion of the county.

Tug Baltimore and Ohio railroad declares 10 per cent. dividends, and the Pennsylvania Central 8 pe® cent.

Mr. George Kirkland is still suffer‘ing with the rheumatism. We do not think there has been any marked change since he returned home. = ~ A rumor has been set afloat that Mr. John P. Kitt and several other members of the Christian Church near Noblesville have deserted that denomination, with the intention of joining the Seventh-Day-Adventists. Itisoursettled conviction that nothing is ever gained by deliberate misrepresentation; hence our inability to comprehend why such -unfounded rumors should be put in circulation. Sofaras these reports relate to Mr. Kitt, they are utterly false. He has been an earnest worker in the Christian Chureh for a great many years, and being a man who reads and thinks for himself, he is not to be swayed by the sophis- - try of smooth-tongued theorists and | pretentious prophets. A recent v_isit‘ at Mr. Kitt's gave us no indication of a marked change in his mode ofliving. He subsisted on the same kind of food ‘as of yore, and hedid not mention anything about experiencing visions and revelations, the stock-in-trade of the famous Ellen White, of Battle Creek, Mich. Neither have we heard of any other worthy member of the above named -congregation deserting it for the purpose of becoming followers of Elder Lane. It is true, there are a few persons scattered through' the country who claim to be Adventists, but as they fail to enroll themselves on the church book and studiously avoid paying one-tenth of their income to that church, their connection with Ellen White’s organization does not come up to the established rules. July 31, 1877. MARK. WILMOT WINNOWINGS. The weather is hot,almost scorching, and not a drop of water to cool it. . From all accounts the wheat turns out much better than was first anticipated. The farmers are well satisfied with the crop, but with the price they find fault and say it is not enough. “Wilmot will soonopen aselect school for the accomn:odation of those who expect to teach next winter, as well as for beginners.

This place has not been blessed with any public speaking for some time, and should there be none soon we shall feel it our duty to call upon the editor of THeE BANNER and try to induce him to lcome out here and deliver an oration on national affairs and education.

Some of our near neighbors contemplate departing for other climes in the near future. The far west contains some very good land and plenty of it, and 'we hope that all may be successful in procuring good farms. May they all succeed in doing better in their new home than they done here. July 28, 18717. Eb.

TRRT e FE TTRS Y L D eSDT IR i RSB T MANY WHO ARE SUFFERING - from the efiects of the warm weather and are debilitated, and adv*d by physicians to take moderat¢’amounts of whisky two or three times during the-day. In alittle while those who adopt this -advice 'frequently increase the number of 4drinks’ and in time become confirmed inebriates. A beverage which will not create;.hirst for intoxicating liquors, and which is jntemde’d'esﬁecially for the benefit of debilitated people. whether at homie or abroad. is Dr, Schenck’s Sca Weed Tonic. Costaining the juices of many medicinal herbs, this preparation does not create an appectite for the intoxicatingenp. The nourishing and the life-supporting properties of many valuable natural productions contained in it, and well known to medical men have a mqststren’gtbenmg influénce. A single bottle of the Tonic wil! demonstrate its valvable qualities. For debility arising from sickness, over exertion or from any cause whatever, a wineglass of Sca Weed Tonic taken after meals will strengthen the stomach and create an appetite for wholesome food. To all who are about lecaving their homes, we desire to say that the excellent effects of Dr. Schenck’s seasonable remedies, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, are particularly evident when taken by those who are injuriously affected by a change of water and diet, No person should leave home withont taking a supply of these gafegunards with them, : : Yor sale by all druggists. = , = 15-w5.
