Melancholy Affair.

Our community was startle j yesterday
afternoon by the announcement that Ex-
Governor Bebb, now resident of Seward,
in this county, but formerly of Ohio, of
which State he was Governor, had been
molested at his residence by mob of men
and had fired upon and shot two of them,
killing one man instantly. The particulars
as near as we have been able to gather
them, up to the time of going to press, are
as follows:
1t appears that for some time past a
good deal of coldness, and in many instan-
ces actual bad feeling had been growing up
among some of the Governors neighbors,
as gainst himself and family, springing, it
is said, more or less out of jealousy of his
pecuniary circumstances, and belief that he
was somewhat aristocratic in his tastes and
associations.
The return of his son with his wife, on
Thursday night, from the Eas., whittier h.
had been to get married, was fixed upon
by the rowdy portion of the young men of
the ncigborhood as a proper occasion to
manifest their ill-feelings. They according
ly prepared themselves with cow-bells,
guns, tin pans, and other articles ordinarily
used on such occasions, and repaired to the
residence of the Governor at late hour in
the night, and commenced all manner of
noises, clamors and outcries, assailing the
house with stones, and firing towards it with
their guns.
After enduring this assault fo- some tin Q
in silence, Gov. Bebb made his appearance
at the front of his honse, and demonstrated
with the mob, requesting them to desist.
This request was received with hootings
and howlings, and an increase of clamor.
After little time he again came forward
and remarked that patience had ceased to
be virtue, and that if they did not desist
and leave the premises, he would be COM
PEELED to use violence. This threat only
seemed to exasperate the assailants, who
replied that they had come there to fight,
and were only waiting for him TO commence,
or words to such import
He then went into the house and brought
out double ta-relled shot gun, firing one
barrel at the feet of the ringleaders of the
mob, which shot took effect upon one of this
party, crippling him in the leg. At this
some Of them dispersed, while the Others
rallied and made rush upon the Govern
or who raised his gun and dischar ed the
other barrel at the foremost man, hitting him
in the head and killing him instantly where
upon his assailants suddenly decamped.
We gather the above facts from neigh
Dor of Gov. Bebb's, and give them as rela-
ted, without vouehing for their entire cor
rectness. The affair is very sad one, and
has created much excitement in the COM
munity.-Roek1ord Rep. 2linst.

Corn and HOgs.

From carefully conducted experiments
by different persons, it has been ascertained
that one bushel of corn will make little
over loa pounds of pork-gross. Taking
this result as a basis, the following deduc-
tions are made which all our farmers would
do well to lay by for convenient reference.
That
When corn costs 129c. per bushel, pork
costs 13c. per pound.
When corn costs lie. per bushel, pork
costs &c. per pound.
When corn costs 26c. per bushel, pork
costs &c. per pound. .75.
When corn costs 33c. per bushel, pork
costs &c. per pound. t,Fl
When corn costs soc. per bushel, pork
costs sc. per pound.
The following statements show what the
farmer realizes for his corn when sold in
the form of pork:
When pork sells for &c. per pound, it
brings 25e. per bushel in corn.
When pork sells for 4c. per pound, it
brings 35c. per bushel in corn.
When pork sells for sc. per pound, it
brings 45c. per bushel in corn. s4-|
When pork sells for &c. per pound, it
brings SOC. per bushel in corn.

w The following touching and fellici-
tious illustration of the power of ideas was
given by Wendell Phillips the other day,
in public speech at New York. The el-
oquenco of Philips is surpassed by moth
ing but his atrocious fanaticism:
81 was told to-day story so touching
in reference to this that you must let me
tell it. 1t is a Temperance case, but it
will illustrate this just as well. 1t is the
story of a mother, on the green hills of
Vermont, holding by the hand son, six
teen years old, mad with love of the sea-
And, as she stood by the garden gate a
sunny morning, she said edward, they
tell me-for l never saw the ocean-that
the great temptation of the seaman's life is
drink. Promise me, before you quit your
mothers hand, that you will never drink"
And, said he flor he told me the story,) l
gave her the promise, and l went the broad
globe over-Calcutta, the Mediteranian,
San Francisco, the Cape of Good Hope,
the North Pole and the South-I saw
them all in forty years, and I never saw
glass filled with sparkling liquor that my
mothers form at the garden gate, on the
green hillside of Vermont, did not rise be-
fore me; and to day at sixty, my lips are
innocent of the taste of liquor. (Applause.)
Was not that sweet evidence of the power
of single word! Yet that was not half.
For, said he, yesterday there came into my
counting-room q young man of forty, and
asked me, "Do you know me?" "No"
"Well," said he, 81 was once brought drunk
into your presence on shipboard; you were
a passenger; the captain kicked me aside;
you took me to your berth kept me there
until l had slept off the intoxication; you
then asked me if l had mother; l said |
never new word from her lips; you told
me of yours at the garden gate, and to-day,
I'm master of one the finest packets in N.
Y. and l come to ask you to call and see
me-" How far that little candle throws
its beams! That mothers word, on the
green hillside of Vermont! Oh, God be
thanked for the almighty power of single
word (Applause)."

Cleaning Wool for Market.

The following method of preparing wool
for market, was adopted by Messrs. Perkins
& Brown, of Ohio, once extensive wool
growers, and we insert it at this time, as
being seasonable, and may prove valuable.
They first wet the wool BY immersirg
the sheep in water. Then allow the sheep
TO stand in the yard until they become
warm. The oil in the wool thus becomes
soapy, and it requires but little labor af-
terwards to wash them entirely Clean
Some writers recommends that sheep be
washed until the water runs away from them
clear and clean. They should be sheared
as soon as dry, which will be, if the weather
be fine, in about three days from the time
they were washed.
1t was formerly customary, and is now, to
some extent, for the person who washes,
to stand in the water up to his hips until
the whole flock be washed. This is not
necessary, and can be avoided by taking
tight barrel, with one head out, or a hogs
head sawed off at aproper hight, and sink
ing it into the steam BY putting in rocks
or other heavy substances. The washer
can then stand in this and operate in some
what dryer condition than when immersed
in the water.
Avery good method, where one does no:
have deep water convenient for him to
plunge his sheep in, is to make fume or
sluice in some stream large enough to con-
tain a sheep. Into this the sheep may be
placed and washed. The water NAV be
suffered TO run off, and the flume again
filled for another sheep, while the operator,
standing on the outside, can work and keep
himself dry at the same time.

There is n negro named Grey, now liv-
ing in Chicago, who holdsa passport under
the hand of the Secretary of State, broad
seal attached which declares that he is a
citizen of the United States, and guarantees
him protection. Mr.. G. also holds GER
ti6cate of commendation, made in 1885,
which is signed by James Buchanan, who
therein states chat "Mr. Grey is a citizen of
the United States" In view of the recent
decision of the Supreme Court, the ques-
tion arises how and by what Law colored
men have ceased to be citizens since?

passion Of the public his own mir of ears
in box, which he held up to the gaze of
the bystanders, plaintively appealing to
their charity and patriotism as a poor sol
dier who had been made prisoner by the
Russians, and thus cruelty mutilated.

EE1roR ONO FARMER-Ever since the
introduction of veterinary medicines, horses
have been treated for the above named dis
eases, often, too in the most -ha-Sarods
manner. l have yet to learn that in any
case, a cure has aue,. been affected. I will
go farther, and positively deny that it Id
the power of man to effect cure in either
of the above named diseases, all efforts be-
ing only palliative. Who will deny these
assertions? As there are hosts of men in
this country, who advertise to cure bone
SPAWN and ring-bone in horses, expect
that you will be besieged with champions
in defence of their magical cures. If you
are not, it will be because prudence sug-
gests to them to remain quite. /, howeY-
er, will meet all that come, and in case no
one ventures to defend his cause, will en-
deavor to show the fallacy of such opera
tons as are now practiced, and that those
who practice them, are either ignorant of
the pathology of the diseases in question,
or that they are guilty of gross imposition.
Ipropose discussing this important ques-
ton through the columns of the Ohio Far
ner, and will wait an answer from the af-
frmative, for four weeks from the date of
this paper.

OLD PSALM TUNEs.-There is to us more
of touching pathos, heart thrilling express
sion in some of the old psalm tunes, feel
ingly displayed than in a whole batch of
modernism. The strains go home, and the
foundations of the great deep are broken
up"-the great deep of unfathomable feel
ing, that lies far, far below the surface of
the world-hardened heart; and, as the un-
wonted yet unchecked tear starts in the
eye, the softened spirit yields to their in
fluence and shakes off the load of earthly
care, rising purified and spiritualised into
a clearer atmosphere. Strange, inexplica-

KITTY GLIDE.

Oh, who has not seen Kitty Glide,
She lives at the foot Of the hill,
Ina sly little nook,
By the babbling brook,
That carries her fathers old mill;
Oil who does not love Kitty Glide.
That sunny eyed rosy cheek lass,
With sweet dimpled chin,-
That looks roguish as sin
With always a smile as you passs
Sweet Kitty-desr Kitty
Myown sweet Kitty Glider
In sly little nook,
By the bshbling brook,
Lives my own sweet Kitty Glide.
With basket to put in her fish
Every morning with line and hook,
This sweet little Lass
Thro' the tall, heavy grass,
Steals along by the clear running brook,
She throws her line into the stresm,
And trips it along the brook side
Oh, how do wish
That / was fsh,
Tobe caught by sweet Kitty Glide.
Sweet Kitty-dear Kitty, etc,
How wish that was bee;
Fdnot gather honey from flowers,
But would steal dear sip
From Kittys sweet lip,
And make my own hive in her bowers;
Or, il I was some little bird,
1would not build nests in the air,
But keep close by the side
Ofsweet Kitty Glide,
AND sleep in her soft silken hair.
Sweet Kitty-dear Kitty, etc.

ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD.

The following particulars of the enorm-
ous vessel to be launched will be of inter
est to most of our readers. She will car
~ 10000 tons of coal, 5000 tons of mer-
chandise, and 1000 passengers. The OBJ
ject of building so large a vessel is the econ
omy that will be effected by being able TO
stow sufficient coal to carry her round the
world. She will save about 10000 per
voyage to Australia in this item, by carry
ing sufficient to take her there and back, in
stead of having 10 coal at Australia. Ow-
ing to the her length she will not pitch,
ard roll less than any ship that ever swami
She will be the strongest ship in existence,
being built upon the principle of a hollow
iron beam.
There are ten iron bulkheads, or water
tight compartments; and there are longi-
tudinal bulkheads, also water-tight. She
is double ship, complete and berfect, the
internal hull being supported by boiler plate
stays three feet deep, and about the same
distance apart, rivited with angle iron joints
to the external hull, thus forming cellu-
lar piece of work, similar to top or roof of
the Menai bidge, and as strong as solid iron.
This extends from the bottom of the ship,
80 feet up each side, until the first deck is
reached. The two lower decks serve as
bridges or stays; and the main deck is
similar to the hull-cellular in construc-
tions-being in two parts braced together,
making fabric of immense strength
Were two of her water tight compartments
filled with water she would hardly be in
convenienced.
This noble vessel is COS feet long, SO
feet broad, and 5S feet deep from her deck
to the floor of her hull. Her tonnage Is
22,50O tons. She will be propelled by
two baddles and a screw. The paddle
wheels are Sc feet in diameter, and the
screw is "a feet in diameter. The four en-
gines to propel the paddle wheels are equal
to 1850 horse power, and the four engines
to propel the screw are exual to 100 horse
power. She will have five funels connect
ed to ten boilers, and six masts, which will
carry acres of canvas.
Four of her masts will be of iron-the
two next the stern and compass of the ship
will be of wood. Her crew will consist of
500 seamen. How many boats she will
have we cannot say; but she will have
abaft her paddle box, on each side, crew
steamer 100 feet long. The whole ship
will be lighted with gas. Her speed will
be Is knots-equal to III miles per hour;
and she will 60 to Port Phillip in SO days.
