the Department of Agriculture. It is thought that the present crop may safely be set down at 480,000,000 bushels. The increase is not owing to a superior yield, for that is less than last year, but to a greatly increased acreage; a fact which indicates a returning disposition on the part of our people to engage in agriculture. There could be no healthier sign than this. LOCAL LEMES.

People can not be too careful in handling poisonous drugs. The Crawfordsville Review gives a case in point: Thursday evening a 14 year old daughter of Robert Jones', living a short distance in the country, took a tablespoonful of corosivo sublmate by mistake and died

The course of the meteor ^ was toward the horizon in a southwest- j erly direction at an angle of perhaps ! fifty-two degrees from the point of ob-jf servation.

The: Indianapolis Journal of Tuesday publishes the following special from New York City: General Butler and i Senator Conkiing had a long conference to-day, which is regarded as significant in view of their former estrangement. Neither would talk, but it is presumed they planned the campaign and decided the course each would pursue. It is thought Butler will leave his Democratic friends in Massachusetts and support Garfield. Both Democrats and Republicans concede that Indiana is the pivotal State, and are determined to put forth extra efforts to win. The Martinsville Gazette says: On the 3d instant, on the farm of J. M. Mitchell, occupied by his son, Charles M itchell, situated about four miles north of Monrovia, in Hendricks County, a gate was carried oil', some fencing torn down, and a large stack of newly gathered wheat destroyed by fire. While this vandalism was being perpetrated, Charles Mitchell was away from home. The damages are estimated at $500, and the cause, wo understand, was a self-bind ing reaper on the farm, against the introduction of which numerous threats Lad been made.

Last Saturday, Dr. Tanner, of Minneapolis, Minn., completed, at New York City, the self-imposed task of fasting forty days and forty nights. The only nourish men t taken during the time mentioned was pure water. The physicians ■who watched his every movement and guarded him (luring every moment of the fast, aver that the task was honestly performed, and that there is no doubt as to man’s capacity to sustain life for a long time without food. Dr. Tanner pretends that the experiment was made in the interest ol science, but he was undoubtedly endeavoring to “bear” the provision market; since his feast began, on last Saturday, however, there has been a tendency to “bull” the market. Tanner fasted like a fool, and is now feeding like a hog. These days, as more complete returns in regard to the wheat crop in the Northwest are reported, it is made plain that the yield of the present year will considerably exceed that of 1879, enormous as it was. It is estimated that the increase in Illinois will he about O.C'JO.OOO and in Michigan 4,000,000, while gains have been made in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. The California crop is greater than ever before. The wheat crop of last year was 419,000,000 bushels, as shown by

BS#*A dispatch from Cloverdale, dated Monday last, says: Some nefarious scoundrel entered the bam of Jacob Reigle, three miles south of town, yesterday, and shot three valuable mules with a shotgun. Mr. Reigle has no enemies that he is aware of, and is at a loss to know what it means. •C^-Tlio camp-meeting under the auspices of tho African M. E. Church, at the Fair Grounds, was largely patronized last Sunday. An excursion train from Indianapolis brought over several hundred people, while this city furnished a large quoto. The usual services were held, but nothing particularly worthy of notice

occurred.

Blay-On last Monday morning, at an early hour, a horse and buggy were left standing in front of the Jones House, the horse having evidently been driven very hard. They were claimed by a gentleman from Whitcsvillo, Montgomery county, from whom they were stolen. The authorities are after the thief, but he has not yet been arrested.

Died, On Friday, July 30, 1880, Mrs. Guilliams, wife of Edgecomb Guilliams, in Russell township, aged about 70 years. On Friday, Aug. 6, 1SG0, Geo. Lookabill. aged 77 years. He was one of tho old pioneers of the county. Thus, one by one, they’re called away, Without a word of warning. While others still plod on their way, And scarcely stop for mourning. ’Tis a debt—wo all have to part, And ’tis not worth while to grieve; Yet it almost breaks our heart To see our dear friends leave. ’Tis a pleasure, not a sorrow, To think of those who aro gone; And when you think of the morrow, Think of the days that have flown. W. M. S.

Tne ceremony of marrying John Hall and the widow Miller was performed by a Justice at Cincinnati, Ohio. The couple went to a restaurant for a wedding dinner. After the meal was over the husband said that ho had an errand to do, but would not be absent more than ten minutes.
