It Is early enough to plant late potatoes until the 20th of June, Uncle John Catt says, and he is a successful farmer. After that time potato bugs do not lay so many eggs as they do earlier in the season, hence the young grubs are not so numerous nor so destructive. Mr. W. T.

Editors Union:—ln your issue of May 28th I saw a communication from Brother Culp in whicli he states that "every township in the county is now represented with a Grange.”— This is a mistake; Union township is still without one in all its wide borders, though its inhabitants are as enterprising and as intelligent as those of any sister township. Come over, Brother Culp, and unfurl the Grange banner among us; then you can again, break forth m strains of exultation and triumph with perfect harmony and full chorus. Chas. A. Harrington. Dr. Kelley was in our office yesterday and showed us specimens of gold dust washed out of a panful of dirt, taken from a farm on the Monon river near Bradford, in White county.— There is no doubt about the genuineness of the “color,” or that placer deposits exist there; the question is Can it be found iu paying quantity? The mine was first discovered fourteen years ago, and made considerable excitement at the time, but the gentleman who owned the farm on which It is located had not means to develop it himself, and would not leas? it to others ; he is now dead and the property is in the hands of a younger son who has more liberal ideas, and a company is organized and at work who have put a dam across the stream, constructed fifty or sixty feet of sluices, and will soon know whether the "claim” is wortli working. The dust Dr. Kelley has is circular scales of metal about the size of a large pin head, and is found in black, magnetic sand. He had fifteen or twenty cents’ worth, whicli was washed from one pan of dirt. The mine is about eighteen miles southeast from here.

Try it. About two Fears ago William Womraor., eon of John Womrnor, living north of .Mishawaka, was addicted with the erysipelas in his right leg. Th«p disease affected his leg to such an extent that tlw large hone died, and around Abis was formed a new bone one-third of an inch thick. In this new hone were several holes from which ofiensive matter was continually discharging. This finally became so disagreeable that young Wonimer consented to have an operation performed. The sugeons yesterday morning cut out a strip of the new bone one inch wide and ten inches long, running from the ankle upwards and through the opening thus .made, removed the old 'bone. The time occupied in the operation was one hour and seventeen minutes, it being one of those cases where the greatest aud most dedicate skill is required. Me. Wommer was .under the influence of eJeroform during •the operation, and did not suffer at all.— SoutfrUendTribune.
