Fall Flowing.

GoM lias dropped to 103|. It begin a to look astbough resumption of specie was in tlie near future. A report has been put into circulation that psman Pasha, tiie Turkish general who has recently turned tlie tide of war so signally in favor of the Turkish arms, is none other than the French Marniml Bnznino. Among tlie newspapers of this congressional district it looks very much as though one Republican paper, Hie South Rend Jicgister, was unfriendly I to Representative Calkins, while all I tho others, Republican, Democratic' and Greenback, endorsed liis liberal doctrines. Art election was held in California yesterday for scnntorsar.d representatives in tlie state legislature- The j legislature will, next winter, elect a I successor to tlie seat of Senator A. A. Sargeant, with strong probabilities that he will be a Democrat. Ex-senator Cameron says that he never said that tlie Republicans would lose Ohio and Pennsylvania this fall. He don’t like Hayes’policy in some respects, but lie is not quite so idiotic as to tell lies about the Republicans of Ohio and Pennsylvania. 1 1 ' Brigham Young, tlie great Mormon leader, died on Wednesday of last week. He was remarkable for great executive abilities, strengtli of mind and firmness of will. Was one of tho greatest men of his generation. It is doubtful if a successor can bo found in Mormondom to fill the place made vacant by his death. A tender-hearted woman at LaPortf recently adopted a little orphan gir i nine years old to bring up in the path s of rectitude. Iler sympathies woi ,t out towards tlie desoiate heart, at d she yeaiued to supply a mother /’s place. But she also found it necessary at times to discipline the little girl, which she proceeded to do in a mi ,n----ner which tlie local papers describe as follows: Hhe first whipped her till tlie blood flowed from her arms; tJ ien compelled her to sleep on tlie l ,are floor; pulled her ears till they b led; pulled her tongue until thecords t /ere broken at tlie roots; applied fire tc her heels which caused great sores and compelled her to walk oil her toes; starved her; tied a band over bead and utfder tier chin to prevent outcry; tied her feet and hands together and hung her up on a hook. Yet p lople talk about the blessed civiiizatU n of our Christian nation; tlie hot rible cruelties of tho Indians, E asliiBuzouks and other barbarians; a nd a local correspondent says lie lb inks this woman “is lionest, only err ad in judgment.” Tlie woman of tei'der maternal instincts who did it “all for the benefit of the child,” is it'rs.

Hitherto I have, been a glrong a Ivocate of plowing in autumn, but at the pr iscnt moment 1 have crops Which are e'/erytliing that could bo desired growing on ,’and that was not urider control until late las t spring, and which, therefore, wus r.ot plov (at until it was nearly time to plant the crop -r. The excellent condition ot these has sha ken my faith somewhat iu the superiority of fall plowing, so far at least, that it seot os the main advantage of it consists in thi • very convenient sot-forward it is iu the t pring to have the plowing already done. 1 [oreover, when the crop is corn, the cutv orm is not so destructive, and in additiot i to these two reasons for having the plow ing done so as to lie all winter, it has also bt eu considered that frost had then abetter clfjt ct in pulverising tho soil and making a g>k d seed bed.—A Working Farmer, in Komi New-Yorker.
