Turnips sell at $1.20 a bushel, and none are brought to this market by one of the farmeas of St. Joseph county. They are shipped here from other states. Turnips are not bard to raise. They stand as the head in the vegetable line, though by no means as popular as other products of the vegetable kingdom that might be named. But they are au excellent article of food. Farmers hereabout should be able to at least supply the local demand.”—South Bend Times. Republican Convention.

This opens up a better market for this commodity.—LaPorte Argus. We hope there is no mistake about the above. The bay industry is a very important and extensive one in this locality, and the recent increase in freight rates had a most depressing effect upon it here. ’ Warsaw Times: “Rev. G. W. Chapman, of the Free Methodist church, who accompanied by his wife, spent three years in missionary work, in Liberia, Africa, brought back a little African girl, supposed to be about six years of age at the present time. Mr. Chapman, in a tour among the African cannibals, in the interior of Africa, purchased the little girl from the king of one of the tribes, who had captured her in war. She was held as a slave. The price paid for the little girl was a hundred and twenty yards of red cotton cloth. She is very bright, and is rapidly taking her education, being able to read to some extent already.”
