CASTOR BEANs-Severa farmers in this county
tried the culture of the article and the result is
product of about {, 800 bushels four-fft of which
have been brought to Peoria and were purchased
by the Messrs Farrell for the purpose Of expressing
the oil at their OIL mill The price paid in cash per
bushel is one dollar, for all that are well cleaned,
and we understand that the most of those offered
commanded that price. So see that what has
been done in this attempt to cutiyat new article,
has sent among the few engaged in 1t about $1,000.
The cultivation Of the bean generally entered
into only experiment The mode of culture
new, with, perhaps a single exception, to all
that tried H. yet the degree of that attend
ed their efforts, and the estimation formed Of the
business, may be inferred from the fact that with
one two EXCEPTIONS all who this year attempted
It's culture, have determined TO 90 into i, more ex-
tensively next year, and contracts have already
been made to deliver at least 5000 bushels hero
next fall. All think they can produce more from
the same ground another year, as they now know
something more of its culture And we have heard
of several instances where over % bushels to the
acre were produced. -Peoria, (W, Dem. Press.
PREPARATION OF FooD FOR HoGs.-Gran is

value. Some have estimated cooked meal al fifty
per cent. more in value than the uncooked. There
can be no doubt that grinding and cooking grain
will make improvement. far excehng In value
the cost OF these operations. They VIII probably
add nearly 100 per cent to the value Of the food
1t is well to have mixture of food for boys; il
is less cloying and induces more thrift Roots of
various kinds with apples and meal, make an ex-
cellent and cheap food. Pumpkins may be added,
or pumpkins and apples may be used, if no roots
are at hand; sweet pumpkins and sour apples with

with little labor, after the trees once attain good

can be produced in New E7qlaai or he miadie
states. And even in the West, where grain is
raised with little expense, apples may be produced
with little expense also-FdrmerS Journal

a silver cup medal be offered, for instance, for
the best essay upon hemp cuture in the West, and
1t will set the farmers to work thinking and writing
about it. So of hedging, breaking prairie, root

The county societies have not funds sufficient to
give any great amount for such premiums their
funds all required pay their Incidental expen-
SEES and their premiums at their annual fairs and
IN their commencement, it is difficult for many to
do even that. Again, do not think II ght for

essays upon subjects, that 1t is equally for the in

But by State Territorial societies offering prizes,

prize of sufficient worth can be offered to secure
valuable essays. The Society might require com

REPUBLICS OF EURoPE.-Few reflect
that there are several republics now exis-
ting on the continent of Europe. Byron,
lamen,ing over the fallen Liberties CT the
once powerful but long since " crushed

"The name of Commonwealth is past and gone,
Over three fractions of the groaning globe"

yet here and there gimmering star. The
following enumeration of these peculiar in
dependencies, will be interesting to the
reader:

tons affecting their interests.

square miles in Italy, with 1000 people,
a revenue of $I4, 900, and an army of less
than 70 men. The capital has popua-
ton Of 500. Has existed for l, 400 years,

WALLED BANKS OF THE AU SABLE.
This wonderful display of the Almighty
power at creation Is situated about three
miles from Fort Kent, on Lake Cham
plain and is one Of the most interesting ma
tural curiosities on the globe, with the ex-
ccpton Of the celebrated Cataract of Ia
qendama, in South America, both Of which
nearly correspond in their general tea-
lures AS no just idea can be formed by
any, Of either short of a personal eXaml-
nation, | dare not attempt it, but leave
that to the pen Of the poet and to the PEN
Gil Of a painter. AS the curiosity Of the
public is strongly excited and greatly in
creased within a few weeks, in conse-
quence of the passage of the Port Kent
and Ogdensburg railroad, crossing near
the celebrated high bridge, nearly two
hundred feet above the river, our readers
and the travelling public are notified that
a trip is easily made from here to the wall
ed Banks by the way Of Whitehall, where
you can embark daily. at ten o'clock, on
board an elegant steamboat, and arrive at
Port Kent in the evening.
The ensuing morning you cross the
Au Sable river, at the village Of Birming-
ham, three miles from Port Kent the
bridge passes over rocks piled on rocks,
the river dashing in the midst, descending
about 100 feet at their base, proceeding
about half mile in a direct course to the
entrance of the walled banks, which runs
in two parallel lines from 40 to 60 feet
apart, nearly in direct line for a mile in
distance, and $50 feet deep. What will
forever astonish the eyes of every behold
err is, these perpendicular banks in their
whole extent were constructed by the
Great Architect Of the Universe, 10 all APP
pearance, as if by the hand of masons,
with hewn stones in uniform lines, the
seams neatly pointed. About half mile
beyond Birmingham, on the keeseville
road, you pass at the edge Of Watson's
falls, perpendicular pitch Of 60 feet of
the entire river, thence TO Keeseville, one
and half miles, you again find the RIVER
precipitated to its destiny in the midst OF
! the rocks and iron manufactures. We
hope soon to see a good description for
public information.- Troy Wing.

60 MURDER WILL OFT"

A striking illustration Of the truth Of
this maxim is furnished by the last Grand
Rapids Enquirer. Many Of our readers
will doubtless recolect that some time in
the year 1888, family by the name of
Glass, residing near the Maple river, in
the county Of Ionia in this State, was found
in their house which was situated at some
distance from the settlement, most inhu-
namely murdered. The circumstances and
belief at the time was that the crime had
been perpetrated by a band of Indians who
were known to have occasionally visited
the family. What seems strange was that
there appeared no inducement such as
plumber or private malice on the part of
the Indians TO commit such an ac:. The
bodies Of the family were all found except
Glass himself, horribly murdered and half
consumed by fire which mad been set to
the house with the evident design of obi
terating all traces Of the murder, but owing
to the logs being green was only partly
consumed. Ii was inferred from the alb
sence of Glass that he had been carried
away and subsequently murdered. Great
but fruilIess efforts were made to ferret out
the authors Of so awful a deed, and seve-
raj OF the Indians suspected were arrested
and examined, but without obtaining any
clue to the tradegy. All stoutly denied
any knowledge of or participation in the
cowardly and savage act. They were con-
sequently discharged. Thus, the murder
Of the Glass family, Notwithstanding the
excitement which it created at the time,
has ever since remained an inexplicable
mystery, not the slightest evidence Of the
guilt of any one having been discovered.
Within few weeks, however, a citizen
Of Ionia county who was well acquainted
with Glass, travelling in Wisconsin, acct
IDENTIFY met him! Upon being Intercepted
he boldly denied his identity, and alleged
that he was brother Of the maple river
Glass. He was arrested and in reply to
the magistrate, acknowledged he was the
man whose family was murdered, and sta
ted that he had only saved himself by
flight. after the Indians had sacked his
house and butchcred his family. He was
then discharged! The Enquirer learns
that measures have been taken to have him
again arrested, and the Editor expresses
the hope soon TO be able to announce his
arrival in the village of Grand Rapids to
await his trial for one of the most unnatu-
raj and heartless crimes ever heard of
the murder Of his wife and four children.

A SPEECH WORTH HEARING.

The Quincy QH.) Wing contains the
following report Of a speech in the Senate
Of that State, on the bill for repeating in
ternal improvements. The railroad, which
the speaker did not like, is otherwise call
ed corduroy road and consists of wooden
rails laid across.
"Mr. Speaker: | rise, sir, not to make
a speech. Speech~making is not my
trade ; but, to tell the friends Of the re-
peal that Pm torment them, although
hate railroads as bad as any man on this
yearth, and | have good reason to hate
them yet | shall vote against repeating
them, bekase all my constituents on this
side Of the river brodaciOusy are for them,
and a good many on the other side, too.
1t are a fact, Mr.. Speaker, | know as
much as some other folks do. We have
had a railroad in Clinton for years, across
the bottom there at Carlisle, and one over
Crooked Creek bottom, in Marion, and Of
all internal roads for roughneSs, that
bangs the beaten. Gentlemen may laugh
but It's no joke-my constituents have
lost, in the single item Of breaking eggs,
sir, Il handsome fortune. Scott, who keeps
tavern in Carlisle, and a ralc tavern, too,
not one of your Springfield greaseoycs,
but a right jamb up chicken tiXen tavern,
told me that no mortal man could tell the
eggs that had been broken, in bringing
them to market across that internal rail
road, and FULLY told me the same thing
abou, Crooked Creek railroad-the same
smashing Of eggs. You know IIuey, Mr..
Speaker! wish you could have hearn
Iluey curse, the time his carriage was
joted into eternal smash, crossing ;his
same railroad. Here the Speaker, una
bic any longer to contain his risible facul-
ties, laughingly observed, the gentleman
must confnc himself to the question, and
to the rules Of the Senate. Well, as
was saying, he Gust, and he Gust, and he
Gust, and he swore, and fairly snorted
again, but still he's for railroads. These
are my notions, Mr.. Speaker, and could
not sit here without blenching it out.
