The Western Plowman, published monthly at Moline, 111., is one of the brightest and best of our western agricultural home u ?urnals. It is well edited and its various departments are full of inter, esting reading from the pens of good contributors. It is practical and full of hard sense, and is one of the most complete, interesting and profitable publications that can come into the household. We offer the Plowman as a special premium to all old subscribers who pay arrearages and one year in advance, and to all new paid in advance subscribers, and the Independent for $1.50. “A word to the wise is sufficient.” Two more brook trout were caught with a common fish hook and line in the St. Joseph river at South Bend, the other day.

The South Bend Daily Post asks: “Is it not about time to sit down on the i tramp once and for all ?” And the ‘ Post goes ou to enumerate several re- ' cent depredations committed by them. , It was time, and high time, to sit down ou them years ago. Many a valuable life might have been saved by having done so. $ e j The big fight between the two big fellows, Kilrain and Slavin, ended with the ninth round, Slavin being declared the winner. Inasmuch as Kilrain gave Sullivan the hardest fight he ever had, punishing him (Sullivan) more than any other man ever did, and Slavin licked Kilrain in nine rounds and did it easily, the inference would be that Slavin could knock it to Sullivan.
