HoEING CoRN-Sorne ask how many
times it is best to hoe corn and other crops.
The best answer to that question was Civ
en- us a few days since by farmer whom
we had often observed at work in field
of corn in sight of our window. In going
over the piece with him, and remarking
the remarkable growth, we asked him
how many times he usually hoed his corn.
''Why," said he, q do as was brought
up by my father to do. He never had
any particular number Of times, but hoed
it all be could. | find it grows faster and
stands dry weather better, the oftener it
is Eoed.'' This is the true philosophy of
culture; stir the ground. The direction
for early and good crops, after the proper
preparation, would be to stir the ground.
Crops are like animals-they need petting
and care.-A friend was remarking to us
one evening, the difference in the growth
of melon vines in a neighbor's garden and
in his own, side by side, of the same kind
of soil and both rich, with the same kind
Of preparation for the seed, and the seed
sown at the same time. The neighbor' 5
melons were in blossom, while his own, lie
said, were but three or four inches in
height. The difference had been produced
by the constant labor and care of the gar
diner in stirring the ground and regulating
the amount of sun and shade, air and mois-
ture they received. = Granite Former.

Explosion of d Locomotive.

The Toledo Republican learns from a
gentleman who was on the train, that the
engine boiler of freight train cSnla}ed
near Laporte, Ind, on Friday ey bg,
killing the engineer and fireman, and
scalding the conductor and little boy so
badly that they were not expected olive
Tie scene, as described by the informanty
was truly horrible. The engine was re-
duced to perfect wreck, and the engi-
neer, WEo was thrown a considerable dis
tance from the track, had his limbs, as it
were, disjointed from the body, which was
SO disfsured as scarcely to resemble its
former appearance. The fireman lived
about half an hour in the most excrucia- !
ting distress. His right arm was torn
from tie socket, and the flesh separated
from hls side SO that his ribs were visible.

letter, written by one of the Wyandots,
from the Ohio State Journal. It shows
that nation to be in good healthy condi-
ton, pecuniarily; and although some of
the papers in Ohio may fear their becom-
ing objects of charity, the citizens of Wy
andot county have nc fears upon that
score. Here is the article:
"Our improvements, when appraised,
amounted to upwards of of 1877 900, which
was paid us in the autumn of 1916. In

"To EIcToRs. We see that many of
our brethren of the press, in this portion
of the State, complain bitterly atthe ap-
pointmcnt of one Gislon as Receiver ofpub-
lie moneys at Defiance, and ifall we hear
is true, not without cause. While we des-
pise and would denounce every thing like
fatious opposition, on the part of Dem
ocrats, to an administration Of their own
choosing, quarrcls about men, and SQUAD
bles for spols, we hold that it is the privi-
lege of every freeman to speak freely his
mind and sentiments in relation to the char
acter and conduct of those who are in, and
aspirants for Office, and is especially the
duty of the guardians of thepress to speak
out, and boldly and fearlessly expose eve
rything like intrigue and corruption, for in
this way only, can errors be corrected, or
evils remedied. We can readily conceive
how the President may have been deceived
in making this or any other appointment
but we cannot reconcile the conduct OF
some who are implicated in this particula,
case, with honesty and fair dealing. If,
as we say, all we hear is true; and the
voiceof the press should not be disregard,
ed by those having the power to correct the
wrong, if the charges are sustained by the
proof, and those interested, should spare
no pains to furnish the evidence.

TO Our PARTY.

1t is an established fact, that We will
have many candidates for nomination for
the various Offices to be filled in our coun-
ty and that all who may be candidates
cannot be nominated and that some per-
sons must therefore, be disappointed. In
view Of these facts, we give the following
well timed advice from the Ohio Patriot,
a place in to-days paper, with ahope that
the members of The Great Democratic
Party, may read it, and that too, under
stan. n.lingly. But to the article:
TO CANDIDArEs.-W When a number OF
individuals appear before the people as
candidates for the same Office, it is inpos-
sible that all can be gratifed- some must
necessarily be disappointed. But when
nominations are made in accordance with
the established usages of the patty, it is
the duv of the defeated candidates tc
acquiesoe in the decision, and give THEN
hearty supportto the successful candidates
Any other course is not only suicidal, but
furnishes incontcstible evidence of selfish.
ness and want of devotion to the party and
its principles. A failure to receive a nomi
nation affords no excuse for luke warmness
or disaffection or boiling. Such conduc
on the part of defeated candidates, is rep
rehensible in the highest degree, and just
| ly subjects them to the contempt and scorr
of the honest hearted men of their owl
party. ~

Bonnets without fronts we are used to:
but the last Partisan novely is bonnet
without crown. s.These bonnets, y saws
a Paris letter, '1have three great qualities
light as a feather, transparent as gauze
and hanging on the head like Neapoli-
tan plateau. This bonnet is an assem-
blage of flowers, ribbons and lace; point
of taffetas, richly embroidered, serves a
support to a deep black lace, embroidered
in large dots with straw, which shades the
knot of plated hair which falls on the
nape of the neck. We have said x.bon-
nets without crowns - are we sure they
have any front? We can scarcely say
I if the narrow black lace which edges it.
and playfully falls on the forehead and
gracefully encircles the face, is the only
front-we certainly dare not give this eoif-
fure tie name of bonnet On each side
punches of flowers as well as the broad
strings, complete the harmony The de-
signs are embroidered to match the plat
eau. This bonnet requires particular at
tention in the dressing of the hair The
summit of the head must be left free, and
the hair arranged quite low. These bon
nets are destined to create a sensation in
| the fashionable world but only the very
pretty and the very young dare to adopt
i this novelty.
