INNOVATIONS AND IMPR0yEMENTs.--We see it
stated that they are making portable steam engines
in Ohio to be used for various agricultural PURPOSES
such as threshing, winnowing, Smelling, aud grind
ing corn &c. They are made at the Newark (Ohio)
Machine Works, which, as we are informed, are
managed mainly by men from Massachusetts,. who
do mechanical work in manner superior to any
that has hitherto been done in the West. The COM
pany commenced its building in May 1854. It has
been completed, and filed with machinery, made in
this city and other parts OF Massachusetts, which
cost nearly $4,000; and already quite number Of
stationary and portable steam engines have been
manufactured and disposed Of 1t il also asserted
that over fifteen thousand reaping machines have
been manufactured and sold in our country the pre-.
sent year. The cost of the reaping machines
amounted to nearly $2,O00,000. Slowly perhaps,
but surely machinery is taking the place Of manual
labor on farms, and in few years viii supersede it
wherever it can be employed to advantage. few
years ago all labor on farms was manual labor; now
however, nearly all labor, from watering focks to
gathering crops, can he performed by machines
The benefits resulting therefrom are not even fore
Swallowed at the present day, but improvement
advances, and the farmer has recourse to invention
80 will his farm increase in value and his own la
bors be lighter. The days Of "paring bees Z and
"husking bees" are passing away, and will soon
occupy their place in the pleasant memories Of the
past. We always had o peculiar attachment" rs
the panists say, for bees' of all kinds, not for
getting honey bees; and though passing away, it
is pleasant to know they give way to something
better for the farmer. 40, the days when we

The Lynching OF Debar In WISCONSIN.

from the Milwaukee Wisconsin, AnguHt D.
Mob law has triumphel, and the murderer Deb1r
has been sent to for his crimes by the hands
of an Infatuated people Despite The military force,
despite the laws, which have been tfampled under
foot he was torn from the hands Of justice, and de-
prived of life almost instantly. We lay briefly be-
fore our readers the records
The case, az was anticipated, came up yesterday
afternoon. Judge Ian abee charged the Grand Jury
briefly and with his usual ability. They retired and
after session Of more than hour brought in an
Indictment against tie prisoner for wilful murder.
While the Grand Jury were III session, several at
tempts were made to break through the guard OF
soldiers that surrounded the Court House, and forci
bly, seize the prisoner; the attempt proved failure.
Contrary to all cxpections. Debar on being ar
raigned pleaded not guilty. He was il ia understood
induced to put in this plea by the advice OF his
counsel, although he had previously ade a c0nfes
sion Of his guilt. The Judge Immediately directed
the Sheriff to retarn the prisoner 70 Jail to await his
trial The Sheriff with his assistants started with
the prisoner surrounded b. the fniiita; no sooner,
however he'd he got outside the door, thin the excl
ted mob made rush aud oyerpowering the military
and officers, struck the prisoner the head with
stone which knocked lin senseess he was then
seized by the Infatuated people, who beat him with
clubs and jumped and stamped on his body until life
nearly extinct; then tying rope TO his heels,
they dragged him the distance Of half mile
and hung him by his heels TO a tree, where he was
hanging ut o'clock last evening,
This fearful tragedy is without a parallel in the
annals Of Wisconsin. II is fearful thing for the
people to take the law into their own hands. and
although De Bar haf perhaps. deserved the fate he
has received, We uphold that the laws. however in
sufficient they may be, should be upheld and respect
ed by one and all.
The mob, we understand, numbered more than
two thousand, and the military forces not number
ing one hundred, were pow erless when attacked by
this maddened crowd. Al that could be was done
to prevent this terrible issue but in spite Of all 1t has
come, and we trust, now that il has come be the
means Of preventing any more Of such horrible aud
heartrending butcheres in our State a. that com.
United by the murderer DE Bar.
We have learned since writing the above that
when De Bar was strung up by the feet he exhibited
signs of life, and moved his head backwards and
forwards; he must have suffered the most excru.
ciating agony. The stone which struck him knock.
ed his skuIl al in. The spectacle must have been
shocking.

rnr VILLAGES IN ST. LAWRENCE
The Census Returns or the City.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.

NEW I DIRK, Aug. H. 1900.
I have been resident of the Seventh ward about
eight years. and supposed that this ward had largely
increased its population since the census of 1850,
from the circumstance of large number of tenant
houses that have been built in certain locations;
that the number Of boarding houses had nearly
doubled in the last five years; that stores have
not encroached upon the dwellings in this ward;
that many houses contain two or three families that
used to be occupied by one and that the shipping has
largely increased on the river side Of the ward de-
handing more boarding houses for sailors and labor
ing persons But l was astouished ut the returns
showing the ward to have decreased in population
ls4 for the last five years. was satisfied this was
gross error culpabe neglect OF the census marshals
had supposed the ward would have gained five
thousand since 1850. Now sir, you will be astonish.
ed when inform you that from Catherine street to
Pike street, two long squares in East Broadway,
cannot find that there has been census marshal on
either side of the street that has called at ALL The
same thing for two long blocks on the east side Of
Division street. This bounds the Seventh ward. In
East Broadway, there are about ninety dwellings, and
Division street, east side about As or 50 between
the two streets, named Catherine and Pike. The
same state OF things occur in Henry street, for two
blocks between the above named streets. The same
st Gets, between Division and Madison streets. No
census takers have been along that could hear of
on enquiry. This is certainly extraordinary.
should think that within the limits have described,
there must be than 400 dwellings, that would
average more than Is persons to a house, making
population OF 200 to lie added to the Seventh ward
What the neglect is if any in the other parts OF the
ward have made no enquiry do not believe there
il ward in this city that has decreased in population
since 1860, except the Second and Third wards. In
these two wards stores have displaced the dwellings
| at a rapid rate. will give you few numbers OF
| houses called at, with the number of persons not
| taken on the census. l charge no marshal
with doing wrong, but give you infor-

and Johnstown, and upon which Johnston and his
wife were engaged, the former deck hand and the
latter in the capacity of cook. Some four weeks
since the gallant captain contracted liking for
Johnston's wife, with whom he eloped from the town
Of Centreville, Indiana county On Wednesday
morning the injured spouse applied at the police
Office and requested their aid to arrest the truant
pair whom he verify believed to be in this vicinity
Every effort put forth to discover the parties proved
futile and the matter rested until yesterday morning.
when Johnston discovered them in a house in Pike
street, Fifth ward. He repaired Immediately to the
office of Alderman Wilson, whose police proceeded
to the place designated and while the couple were
at breakfast took them into custody. After hear
ing, Cullongh was in default of bail committed to
prison for trial, charge Of forncation and bas

wife. A charge Of adultery was also preferred
against Mrs. Johnston, by william Anderson, man
residing in Westmoreland county, who saw the cou-
