BANK SUSPENSION.

IL ~ our duty this week to announce that
the Miners and Manufacturers Bank of Ten
nessec, ut Knoxville, has suspended, as we
are informed by letter from that place. We
do not believe there is very large amount
Of the paper floating about in this direction,
most of its circulation being in Pennsylvania,
from whence run was made on the institu-
ton, which compelled its officers to shut
down the gate and close DOORS The charter
for the Miners and Manufacturers Bank was
obtained from the Legislature of 1854,
without that wise and august body knowing
they were comforting banking privileges, the
members believing that 1t was simply for
n mining and manufacturing concern, rs Is
now alleged. As another General Assembly
will shortly convene, we respectfully suggest
that IL is the duty of the legislators to look
into bills that come before them for consid-
Grafton before passing them into laws, as
has'y and thoughtless action on such occa.
sons is frequently productive of much injury
TO the public-a fact which seems never TO
occur TO some gentlemen who stumble into
legislative bodies. There are most too many
one-horse banking institutions in our State,
and the result OF which is, that the best Ten.
nessce money is below par outside our
own geographical limiis-ihe bogus concerns
throwing shade Of suspicion around those
which are really solvent and reliable. We
think that legislation in this State in regard
10 banking privileges might be profitably re-
traced, 10 some extent, by going back and
Uipins ont a considerable number Of the shir
/ plaster concerns we believe such a step i.
demanded by the public interests, and thai
the public good and convenience would b,
greatly subservcd and promoted by the pas
ssge of law prohibiting the issue of bill.
of less denomination than five dollars
We intend TO press this subject upon the at
teniiOn of the member elect from this coup
ty, and upon that of our Senator and shall
expect much from their efforts 10 carry som,
measure through the Legislature that vii
remedy the evil complained of. There vii

ton of the next General Assembly, and III,
members will have plenty of time to attenC
TO the more legitimate duties of their posi-
ton. In fact, if our public men, and the pub
lie press, were to bestow more of their tim,
and talents upon matters Of State policy, anC
less upon Federal politics, they would NOR,
largely promote the true interests of tn,
country.
But to return. We regret the suspension
of the Miners and Manufacturers Bank
aside from the injury inflicted on the commu
nifty, as there are men connected with it q
officers in whose honesty and integrity W
have always had unbounded confidence, an
who we are certain would never have attach
ed themselves TO I'm institution which the
did not believe was entirely solvent. w
trust the failure is not total one, but tn,
the institution will be able to redeem its i
sues and wind up in manner honorable
I the parties most deeply interested.

Allegheny city, !; suit to recover damages
for opening street through plaintiff 5

"That publication of a notice like this
is not sufficient if made in German pa
per-that when an act Of Assembly pro-
vides for notice in a newspaper, it always
means an English paper, unless some
other be expressly mentioned The notice
was also published three times in Purvi-
ance's Weekly Advertizer. But this is

1t was merely sheet Of paper covered
with advertisements, and distributed gra-

The want Of two was fatal to the regular
ity of the proceeding, AMI the judguia OF
the District Court was right"
Those having legal notices to publish
should bear this decision in mind.

Great Know Nothing Defeat,

Fifteen Natjccs Frightened Ly one Grrmdn
IN his Shirt Tad-An Erecting Chase.
Recently, says the Galveston Gazette,
there were Indian alarms about Frede-
ricisburg. One German in the vicinity,
penned his horses at night for safety lie
was aroused Gin the dark silent hour" by
the jingling Of bel.>; bounded up and out,
Z, sans cu'oPe discovered Messrs. Red
Skin were driving off his cavalcade in a
hurry Hans, greatly excited, mounted his
feet bob-tailed pony, without gun, pistols
or knite-pantless, coatless, shoeless and
hatless, and with the rear portion of his
shirt playing in graceful horizontal posi-
ton made pursuit, shouting most Justify
in his mother tongue, to the Messrs Red
Skins to stop, or be d seal p and roast every
mothers son of them. The Indians, who
were so"e ten or fifteen in number, sup
posing they were pursued BY a regiment
of Texas rangers, took to flight, regardless
Of booty, leaving not only the horses they
had taken, but two very fine horses of
their own, together with any number of
bows and arrows, spears, knives, guns and
other Indian ''fxins,'' which were found
the next day scattered along for about
mile !; ana from the tracks seen their hors-
es must have taken awful strides, and no
doubt they thought their end had come.

important to DIillers.

We fear that scarcely miller in Penn
sylvania has attended to the obligations of
the following act of the Legislature, which
was passed April Is, 1885, and may be
found under the head of inspections, sec
ton SO, Purdon Digest. 1t is due to the
purchaser, and community generally, that
it should be complied with Immediately.
And as many of our millers have some
six or eight different brands, they are la
bic to heavy penalties for every month
they continue this old mode of business:
'Every miller and bolter Of -four for
expectation, shall cause his brand mark
as aforesaid to be entered with the Cletk

penalty of five dollars for every month

Tragedy.

A strange affair occurred at this place On
Tuesday last, resulting in the death of a
man who gave his name as William Dur.
ham, and stated that his home was in
Northumberland county, Pennsylvania
The circumstances of the case seem to
warrant the belief that the unfortunate
man was insane. On the arrival of the
Sacramento stage at noon, Durham among
others, stopped at the National Hotel, for
dinner as lie was leaving the house, Mr..
Echo,s the landlord reminded him that he
had not paid for his meal Durham
answered that he had no money, but would
pay him when he came again. Mr.. Echols
said "that is all right" and Durham went
away. 1t appears from the evidence that
he proceeded directly to the store of New
man & Co., and asked for bowie knife,
and upon one being shown him he took it
and left the store, without paying for it,
which caused Mr.. Feldberp, enc Of the
firm, to follow him. He returned to the
National, and asked those in the bar room
where the landlord vas. they directed
him to the dining-room, but not finding
MIR. f. be entered the from. hall where he
met Mr. +. entering the hall from the par
lor Durham Immediately rushed at him
with the bowie knife and Mr. f. rctreatcd
through the bar-room and into the dining
room, closing the door sitter him. As
Durham was pursuing sIr. Echols through
the bar room, Mr. Henry j. Marsh, of H.
linoistown, ,andMr J.W. Miller, stage agent,
called to him to put up his knife, when he
Immediately abandoned the pursuit Of Mr..
Echols and rau.,at.. Marsh and Miller,with the
knife raised to strike. They retreatod into
the hall, Durham still following when
he was within four feet Of Marsh, the lat
ter drew his pistol and shot him down.
The ball struck Durham in the throat,
and passed nearly through the neck. Dur
ham died about sunset. Marsh immedi-
ately surrendered himself to the magis-
trate, who after hearing the facts, dis
charged him from custody A coronsr's

avail himself fully Of them it is iniisprn-
sible for him to practise little of wha.
he has been calling book f,rmipg, viz.
raise root crops, plOw deeply, puIyerize
thoroughly, mdnure heavily and with such
kinds az are adapted for the crop he is
raising. Various experiments have prov
ed that at least one third and probably
one half less grain will do as much good,
when fed in conjunction with roots, Car
rots, Parsnips, Beets, Ruta Bagas &c.
v hen corn is worth ninety cents, or one
dollar, oats seventy cents, and with 4 dOz-
en- or more cows or steers requiring feed,
this saving will be quite an important
item. An acre Of land under proper cul-
.ure, will readily produce six hundred to
one-thousand bushels Of roots, and even II
sold, what crop will net. more money?
Carrots the pas: winter, and almost any
winter have readily commanded City cents
per bushel, and the demand for them is
rapidly increasing as food for horses, at
the livery stables. Tbs crptHse of plant
ing, continued seeding, and cultivation, de
tess many from root culture. The weeds
will grow and require attention when i.
cannot be spared, but we will now repeat.
what We have before shown, how this diff
Guilty can be easily avoided, by destroying
the weeds before putting in the crop.
After the ground has been well plow ed,
which should be very early in the sea son,
the harrow should be passed over repeated
ly, at least twice a week, 50 as not only to
thoroughly break Up and pulverize all the
lumps, but also to kill seeds of weeds Just
terminating by exposure to the action of
the hot sun. If any one will examine his
fields before narrowing, particularly if it
has been well manured he will find millions
of weeds all over the surface just sprouting
and ready to be killed by narrowing.
