CseAT CRop OF WINTER WHEAT. One
Of the best crops of wheat we have heard OF
this season was raised on The farm of the Hon.
Charles Dunn, at Elk Grove 10 this County.
The whea, was sown amongst corn in the fall
of 1912. The crop being early and remarka-
bly fine, a few rods less than two acres OF 1t
was Graded and threshed in the field for seed.
Seven,y-six bushels were cleaned and meas
ured Up, and about four bushels were left In
tailiugs and was.oge. Without any allow
ance for ibrashing therefore, The crop consld-
erably exceeded forty bushels per acre. The
whea, is Of the kind known as the 'red chat"
wheat. One bushel of il, taken from the pile,
when ,hreshed, carefully measured, weighed
fully sixtyh pounds.

Iron Redsteads.

One of our last English papers says, "iron
is daily becoming an article of more common
use, and we are glad TO see that lately it has
been adapted 10 purpose which will tend
much to the comfort and cleanliness of all, but
especially in the humber classes of society.
We allude 10 the new patent iron bedstead,
which cannot fail soon almost entirely TO su-
persede the wooden ones now commonly in
use. The great advantage of iron over wood
is, that it does not harbor vermin, and in con-
sequence of this excellent quality. many land
lords are now in treaty with The palentees and
their agents 10 have their cottages furnished
with bedseads as fixtures, in order that vermin
may be prevented from accumula,ing in their
houses When II is borne in mind that articles,
suitable for cottages, may be had for about 30s.,
we should think that landlords would most
gladly follow the plan already adopted by
some, in order that their properly may be kept
in state fit for The accommodation of respec-
table and cleanly, though humble people"

3. Judge Edwards, in passing sentence
upon Catherine ,Cashiere, convicted Of the
murder Of Susan Anthony, in the city of New
York, said that it is undeniably true, that a
very large proportion of the crimes that are
committed, are iraceable, either directly or in
directly TO the influence of spirituous liquors !;
and | will here add that the poverty and
wretchedness which prevails in society, are 10
be ascribed more to Ibis than all other causes
united.
The influence Of the third class called
Liquor Sellers, is 10 be overcome by your illus.
,rious example and preccpt. Our Fathers did
not see in their great struggle with moral evil,
as we are blest 10 see, OR victory would have
been ours long before this. The Divine pre-
cept they neglected altogether in this respect
that parents should lay up for their children
and not the children for the parents. The
only effectual way 10 stop this current of moral
evil, is TO dry up the fountain. This is fully
anticipated, my young friends, in your temper
ance organization :-gVd on the whole armour
---equip yourself for The war---and in the name
OF the God OF Battles, go forth to certain vic.
tory While this three-fold combined inAu-
eace is agains. you, and will be presented by
the enemies oil Temperance to discourage,
still let yeur motto be ONWARD! For remem-
ber that those that are for you, are more and
stronger than they that are against you You
are sustained by mighty host whose very ap-
pearance is clear as The sun, fair as the moon,
and terrible as all army with banners. You
have, for your encouragement the we'll discip-
lined company of Volunteers, known as Wash
insionlans or Reformed Drunkards. These
strike terror into the ranks of the Liquor Sell
ler. In the next place, you are surrounded
with innumerabe Temperance Societies !;
whose very appearance make the hearts OF
your enemies weak and faint. Next 10 these,
you have the Cavalry---if the intelligent Edi-
tors and Printers will allow mo the comparison
Il mean, my young temperance friends, the
influence of the Press. With the aid Of this
tremendous power, your success is certain.
But in addition to all this, you have the support
of the Churchhsr prayers and aims are offer
ed daily before God in your behalf.
You have also the influence Of the ministry,
who under God, are mighty 10 the pulling down
of this strong hold of sin and the Devil You
have still greater encouragement, for Angels,
those shining ones from Heaven, are sent TO
guard your interest in this great cause!
But lastly, my young temperance friends,
you have the appreciation of Almighty Cod.
for while his word declares that no drunkard
shall enter The kingdom of'God," We. for your
encouragement it is said, that they which
give cup OF cold waller to the needy and
perishing, shall not lose their reward"

The brave little Brother.

The Montreal Transcript relates a
pleasing instance of courage and at
fectionate devotion in child. Some
children were playing in the St. An
tome suburb, when one of the boys
missed his little sister, and thinking
she had hid herself behind the wood
work that supported the windlass for
drawing water, proceeded to look
there, when he heard her voice from
the bottom of the well He called
his companions, when they distinctly
heard her cry out, !" shall be drown
ed ION which the brother seized the
chain, and without hesitation jumped
in to her rescue. He of course went
down what the sailors call "by the
run" but he succeeded in getting the
little girl to lay hold by the iron swlv-
.el that held the bucket-those at the
top being called to hoist; but the little
girls hands being severely cut by the
swivel, she let 90 and again fell to the
bottom The brother was let down
after her., when he bade her get into
the bucket. and this done, they were
both raised. The little girl was un-
hurt, except in her hands. but she
made bitter lamentations after one OF
her shoes, which she had lost in the
water. The we'll is 90 feet deep
she had tried to jump across 1t aud

Democracy
We, at last, give the final result of our elections.
We have majority of three in Congress; a majority
of four in the State Senate and the Federal
majority OF four in the House, making tie joint
ballot in the General Assembly. THIS is novel pre-.
dicament tor parties TO be in in this State.
On the whole the result i'd gratifying 10 the De-
mocracy as 1t is notifying to the coons
The floating members tor the House largely
against us, by the appor,Ionmen hill-at least
or eight and We never saw the FederalIsis more san
gnine OF success in carrying maj ory on joint ballot
Many OF our friends conceded them from the start
majority in the House; but relied on check mating
them in the Senate. Now, every that nothing
was wanting 10 have insured complete triumph, but
union and little energy. We hope it may have
nstug influence upon friends, and from the deep
regrets expressed by those residing counties and dis
rlcts, where nothing but little care and caution
wanting 10 have saved the House by good majority,
we shall expect to not soon again witness such result
under similar circumstances
During greater portion Of the canvass, one could
scarcely believe that election approaching
quietly and stealihily did the Coons perform their
work. They acted the possnm completely, and have
gained nothing by their undermined game, except
few members OF the House. They cannnt carry out
any o their daring measures and their hopes OF SO
gerrynanderng the State, 10 pre.ent the Democrats
getting ma ority hereafter, is completely oiled They
truly have nothing 10 brag of and their detected
tenances prove IL.
As soon we can get the votes of the several
Congressional Districts shall run a comparison be-
tween The present vote and that OF 1910, which will
open the eyes of those Federaisls out of the State
who pretend 10 over the result; for none OF the
breed IN the State, pretend to send up such shouts
On The whole, this election Will have n sauary eff
feet on our friends and teach them that they not
strong enough to run double tickets, quarrel over
nominations after made, instead Of keeping eye
the natural enemy. Let wachword be, "every
thing for the cause, and nothing for men, and the
hosts of reckless Federalism cannot prevail agalnet
Democracy must be triumphant.
