A REMARKABLE MURDER GAS

A KEMhhkABLE MCRDEn Shs9E.
Our readers will no doubt recollect
the case Of q man at Ithica, who Was
charged with the abduction Of his wife
some twelve years since. mysterious
ly disappeared, and who, upon trial
was sentenced to ten years imprison
nient at Auburn. He served his time
out, and upon his discharge was ar.
rested on a charge Of having murdered
his wife and child. His trial for this
offence was to have come off at Ithica,
dnring the present week, before Judge
Shankland but after exhausting q
pannel OF four hundred, and getting
only five jurymen, the venue Was
changed to Tioga county. The Dis
trict Attorney Of Tomplsins county be-
ing sick, Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson
was employed to prosecute the case.
Hon. Joshua Spencer is employed to
defend Ruloff.
We understand from friend who
was present that on Monday last . gea
tlemen presented himself at the jail in
Ithica, who claimed TO be the brother
Of Ruloff. who had an interview will
the prisoner in the presence Of the
Sheriff. For long time Rulof re-
fused to recognize him as brother,
but finally did go, when the visitor
presented him a package, which OF
course the officer present took charge
Of, and which, on opening, was found
to contain s1,oS0 in bank bills, the
half of which the prisoner Immediately
forwarded to his council.
Ruloff's manner in the court room
was that of an Indifferent spectator.
occasionally laughing to himself at
the answers given by the jurors sum.
moned TO sit upon his case. lie says
that he knows where his wife. e.and child
are, but that he will suffer the muscles
Of his arm to be burned ont with . hot
iron before he will open his mouth on
the subject. Should he escape from
the charge of the murder of his wife,
we understand that be will at once be
arrested on a charge OF abducting ,hia
child. 81
The entire case is very remarkable
one, and has created much excitement
throughout Tompkins county--so
much So that it has been found i'm.
possible to get a jury TO try it.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE VALUE OF LANDS.
on the value of farm lands and Of
city real estate, fall under our eye in exchan-
gps from the west and south. Some facts
which they relate are suggestive.
A farmer in Peoria county ILL.,. living up
on a rented farm for which he paid 1925 per
annum, did his work himself, kept "a team of
horses, paid his rent, supported his family,
and cleared one thousand dollars last year
Another farmer in Pike county harvested
3 600 bushels of wheat from single lid.
hired every thing done, and cleared $4,000.
An acquaintance of this man, residing in
the same county, emigrated to that section a
few years since with nothing save his health
and pair of willing hands, and last year
sold farm produce to the amount of ST.
000 His pig pen contains 48l fat hogs, av-
eragng $50 pounds each.
Another farmer in Morgan county sold
S60, 900 worth of cattle last year, and clear
ed pretty penny from the sales.
A Blooming Grove, N. Y, farmer was Of
tered his board and a dollar day, the year
round, to induce him to emigrate to Illinois.
A number Of Orange county people have left
New York within year to seek their fortune
in Ohio, Illinois and Minnesota. Some are
mechanics, some farmers, and all were do
ing well when last heard from. And the
" shakes have not yet troubled them. They
are very fortunate.

At the recent anniversary festival of the
Burns association in Cincinnati, Mr.. Kenne-

to Mr.. James Kennedy, and on that very in
strunent the poet oft-times played to his

The CALIFORNIA GRAPEs.-Amung the pro-
ducts of California, which were found there
when it came into the possession of this
country, were the fine grapes which have
since become better known as the Los Ange-
los or California Mission grapes. Some of
the earlier settlers, who, it was supposed,
knew something about fruit, stated they were
the old Spanish grapes, probably carried there
after the invasion of the country aud lis pos
session by the Spaniards. Perhaps it is so,
and that they are only old varieties, but from
the more recent accounts which we have of
them, they appear to grow TO size far sur
passing any that have been raised in Euro
pean collections, for we have no knowledge
of any variety producing such immense clus-
ters as are reported to have been grown at
Los Angeles. Under the highest culture of
the best English grape growers, no grapes but
the Syrian have ever been raised to the great
weight of fourteen pounds to the bunch but
it is no uncommon circumstance to find the
California grapes of that weight, even under
the ordinary vineyard culture.

year, was l0l. The most fatal months, were

ANOTHER New STArE.-The inhabitants Of
New Mexico are again agitating the question
of assuming the responsibilities of state
government. Judging from the last advices
from Santa Fe, it is not improbable that the
territory may become state before the adj
journment of the present congress.

18th inst. says; A shudder Of horror ran
through our town yesterday afternoon, caused
by the report that an Irishman had been kill
ed at the fourth ward polls, by VIM Miller.
one of the candidates for marshal. The facts
in the case, as near as we could ascertain them
are about these The man who was killed
is said to have. been nonresident and not
entitled to vote. 1t is pretty well establish
ed fact, that he voted in three of the wards,
swearing in his vote at each place, and was
about to attempt to vote in the fourth ward
when Miller challenged his vote. Some angry
words ensued, in which Carney, alias Powers,
gave Miller the lie, thrusting at the same
time, his fist in the face of the latter, as if
about to strike, when Miller struck him with
knife in the right side of the abdomen, cut
ting one Of the main arteries, and causing his
death in few moments

great many would like to know whether there

the country to your readers and as you men
tion three qualifications for land, | will note
each separately. The soil here is heavy lime
stone clay, almost black and is known TO be
as nearly inrxhausible as any. What would
some of the farmers on barren hills think of
planting corn tor years together on the same
ground without manurlng, and harvesting a
good crop each year? And then, by way of
resting the land to treat it to crop or two
of oats, then corn again. and so on, without
thought of wearing out the land Any kind
of grain or grass or root grows here luxuri-

Ohio, and will take pleasure in satisfying
any one of the truth of what | say, if called

and is surrounded by oak, hickory, cotton
wood, and other timber of very large growth.
The first crop planted on prairie sod, yields
forty bushels of corn an acre, with very lit
