rmportant to Farmers

We arc informed by Mr.. ChamborIin,
of the City Mill, that the Farmers Of Yer
mont are in the habit of heading the move
mcnts Of the Weevil, by very simple
process. The next season after it makes
its appearance, they go through their wheat
fields, about the time the wheat is stool
ing OF heading, Immediately after a shower
or while the dew is on it, and scatter new
" Stacked lime broadcast, 50 that it will
adhere to the heads and stems Of the grain.
They use about bushel to the acre. Goo
lime should be secured, and Stacked by
sprinkllng little water over it, so as to
retain all its strcuth A paddle may be
used in scattering it, The remedy has, it
is said, been 50 eiiectually tried, as to leave
no doubt of the result Strip ps in large
wheat fields left untouched by the lime,
for experiment, have been entirely destroy
ed by the weevi; while the grain on each
side was all saved.
1t is well known by all who may have
observed the manner in which the weevils
destroy wheat, that they are deposited In
the kernel, in shape of small red maggot,
by a fly, soon after the wheel begins to
head, and as the kernel begins to form,
they commence their work of destruction
by consuming the milky substance that
would otherwise form the kernel, thereby
preventing it from filling.
The application of lime at this period
in the growth,of the wheat seems so re-
pugnant to the taste of the weeyil, as to
drive it off. The lime will more then re-
pay its value in the improvement of the
soil.-AhrOn Beacon.

of her children; but she being sensible Of
her condition, knowing she must leave her
family, she murmured not; at times find
ing herself very weak, she would call for
her husband and Children, and have them
gathered around her bed She requested
them to bear her dlssolution--now at hand
with Christian courage, and not to weep
aud grieye, as it wos an event she had
been preparing for, long time, md now
as the time had arrived, she was preplied
to mcetlt. She exhorted her children to
bear in mind, and remember the things
she had told them, to live pious, be good,
aud prepare to meet her in heaven.
She vas member of the NJ. Il. Church
upwards Of twenty years, and as a commu-
meant in the church, her department was
exemplary. She was humble in her pro-
fo,sion, but high in her attainments, and
no doubt for her TO have lived would have
been Christ, but to die was gain, Her af-
fictitious were weaned from earth and given
to heaven, Her confidence was placed up
on the rock of ages Her heart was Civ
en- to Christ, her Savior, and when the
shades of death, with all their horror and
gloom, were thickeuing and gathering
around her dying body, all was calmness
and composure, peaceful Resignation light
ed up her countenanco, while entering the
dark valley and shadow of death, fearing
no evil, leaning upon the bosom of him
whose rod and staff was her only aupport,
and of whom she gave evidence, testifying
with her last words she had always loved.
Her remains were followed to the grave
by large circle of her immediate friends.
Afflicted and bereaycd relatives of the
deceased, let US not weep as those who
have no hope; our friend has gone-gone
from our association on earth to home
in heaven, she has left bright example,,
ali example that can never, never die. The
counsels which she gave while living,
even in good health, and while passing
away under her long disease, and the viz
tues which adorned her life and character,
can never perish, they will live and -four
ish until the last particle Of her moulder-
Ing form shall have Mingled with its native
dust, and the green sod that now covers
her peaceful breast, shall no longer indicate
her resting place. II.

Sword for General John E. Wool.

BY a resolution Of Congress approved
january 24th, 1854, provision was made
to present Major General John E. Wool,
token Of the appreciation by his country
Of the services, rendered by him in the
memorable battle Of Guena Vista, in which
he so signally distinguished himself The
work Of manufacturing the beautiful pres
ent was given to Mr.. Samuel jackson, of
No. 1874, Baltimore street, and it is now
completed, being one of the most bcauti-
fuI things Of the kind in the country.
The blade is tfirt zone and quarter III
chcs long, Of the finest cast steel, and EN-
blaaoned with NATIONAL devices. ~ ~. The hills
is Of gold, and is a specimen Of rare work
manship. The design Ia an ear Of corn,
half concoaledsby the leaves os the shock
surrounding it The upper part is a
spread eagle, on the breast Of which is Il
shield bearing the words.~,"B,iena Vista,
Feb. 22 and %, 1877" The ewes Of the
eagle arc diamonds. The cross OF the hiIt
is the Mexican coat of arms, the serpent
and cactus, very heavily wrought, the eyes
of the serpent being garncts. The scab
bard is OF silver, .thiclly plated with,,g>1ld
and ornamen!cl with solid gold bands al d
rings. The end Of the scabbard is Of sol
id gold and Of unique design. The sword
was made after. a design from Lieutenant
Benton, and cost 1900. 1t is token
Of respect worthy gallant soldier, and
should thecaus Of his country demand it,
there is no doubt but its keen blade would
do good service in the protection, of the
honor of the nation, while welded BY the
hero of Buena Vista.

wJohn Folks, charged under two in-
dictmcnts with robbing the mail at Moul-
trie, in thisl lcounty, had a hearing last
week in the Circuit Court of the United
States, now in session in Cincinnati, and
was cleared in both cases. His innocence
was so clearly and conclusively established
that the Jury was out but few minutes
before they returned with verdict of mot
guilty" 1t will be source of gratifca-
tion to Mr, FoulkS' numerous friends to
learn that he has thus, triumphantly vim
dicated and sustained his character and
standing.
Mr.. Upham, Attorney for Mr.. Foulks,
won honors by the able and judicious man
ner in which he discharged the duties that
devolvod upon him, and fully established
the fine legal reputation he has long sus-
tanned. The argument he made in one of
the cases, to which we listened, was able,
forcible and eloquent and would have re-
Aected credit on any juriSt in the State
Ohio Patriot.

KNOW NoTHINGIsM IN KANsAs.--The
Atchison papers in Missouri are all alvo-
Gates Of Know Nothingism. We have
seen it stated iu several quarters, and have
no doubt that the truth of the statements
will ultimately be established, that the
drunken Missouri hordes were congregated
and precipitated upon Kansas by means of
Know Nothing councils and oaths.- Jhion,
We think it. more likely to have been
done by tho pro-slavcry party that gave
these drunken Missouri hordes' an op-
portnnity to trample on the rights of those
who did not wish the territory to he cursed
with the "pcculiar institution"
