An Officer Murdered.

We learn from the Oquawka PLAIN
dealer of the 18th inst. the particulars
Of shocking tragedy IN Henderson
County, resulting in the death Of
David WEIGH, a constable of that place,
at the hands of Jacob Yeder, aided by
Enoch Hollingsworth. 1t appears that
the father of Enoch Hollingsworth
owns a mill near Oquawke, and some
time ago made an arrangement with
another son of his, Addison Hollings-
worth, to take charge oft and run it
on his own account. Subsequently
the elder Hollingsworth changed his
mind, and desired his son Addison to
give up the mill which the latter refus-
ed to do. On Monday last, Addison
lett home, and his brother Enoch, at
once moved his family into the mill,
taking possession Of it on his fathers
account, and having with him Jacob
Yeder. On the return Of Addison a
violent alteration took place between
him and the parties in possession, end
ing in blows, in which the former was
worsted. He at once proceeded to
town, got out warrant for the arrest
of his brother and Yeder, for assault
and battery. This was placed IN the
hands Of David WEIGH, who on at
tempting to execute it was shot by
Ycder, the ball taking effect in the leg
SCATTERING 1t horribly. The leg was
amputated, but Wclch died the next
day. Hollingsworth and Yeder are in
custody.

Saving n ma Tasting Seeds.

Another seed time is fast approach
ing are our farmers prepared with
plenty and good seed for the next
planting Upon this much is depend
ing.
With regard to wheat, oats, and
perhaps potatoes, it is impossible that
the seed for the next crop shall be such
as is desirable it is not in the coun-
try, and the farmers generally have not
the means to procure it.
Bac as this state Of affairs may be,
much may be done to increase the
quality and enhance the value Of the
next crop, by judicious selection OF
the best seed in the county, and a
thorough testing of its value before
sowing. | suppose that good sound
wheat, nine -tcnths, perhaps nineteen
twentleths, Of it will grow. Now, my
advice is, to every farmer in this
county, not to SOW peck Of wheat
without knowing what proportion will
vegetatc.
Last fall saw one of our farmers
threshlng wheat which / told him would
not pay him for hauling to market, as
he could not find miller that would
give him anything for it. lie said he
was threshing it for seed do not
believe horse or hog could have

lows up that kind Of farming, in ten
years he will not have farm to cult.

Buchanan County Guardian of last
Thursday, says that an accident, which
came very near proving serious, hap
pcned to Mr.. NJ. Y. Bush of Indepen-
dcnce, on Saturday, the 9Th. He was
hauling wood through the timber north
of town, seated upon the load, when
he was caught by tree limb which
overhung the road, and before he had
time to extricatc himself, was violently
doubled up, and thrown to the ground
in an inscnsiblc condition. Fortunately,
another person accompanied him, who
replaced him upon the road and drove
as rapidly as possible to town. The
day being very cold, however, Mr.. Bush
had several of his toes frozen before he
reached home. He was recovering at
last accounts.

We would call the particular atten'
ton Of the farmers Of Scott County to
the article entitled Saving and testing
sseds," which we copy IN another
column. from that now exec lent paper,
tho LIE Claire City Enterprise. The
article 10 from the pen OF an old settler,
Who il one Of the best, and most In
tellioent and experienced farmers IN
county, mau who appreciates the
moment Of the subject OF which he
treats.
The Importance Of securing good
crops Of wheat, corn, oats and potatoes
but more especially Of wheat-at the
coming harvest, cannot be overest'mat-
ed. We are now living upon hope
The payment Of every debt which 1t
vas possible to defer, has been put on
until after the next harvest. Mortgages
and deeds Of trust, at high rates OF IN
terest, have been given with the notes
paysble after the next harvest-every
one il economising and rctrenching
with the object Of keeping above water
until the next harvest, when it is hoped
that the clouds will clear away, and
L. So
money will once more become plenty
A. the hearts Of the people OF the chill
dreu of Israel were buoyed up during
their long wanderings in the desert by
tho hope of reaching the promised
land-as the lost and belated traveller
looks for the morning, so we all look
to the next harvest to relieve us OF our
difficulties and repay us for our present
trials and sufierings.
The publication Of these facts may not
be productive of any advantage to our
reputation abroad but they are never
theless true, and it is necessary that all
ahould understand them. If, in the
words of prominent farmer, the next
crop is to prove a failure, we may as
we'll shut up shop and emigrate to
Pixies Peak. Such an occurrence wonld
ruin one half Of the people in the
State.
It is therefore of the utmost import
auce that every means shall be used to
procure q good crop, and every pre-
caution taken against failure and OF
the greatest consequence in the pro-
misses, is the procuring of proper seed
As the correspondent Of the Enterprise
remarks, owing to the unfortunate
weather during the last harvest, it wi!
DO almost impossible to procure the
best quality Of seed.
The farmers have not the means and
cannot send into other states for seed
but there is still very great choice il
the wheat raised in the county. Th'
very best wheat in the neighborhoot
should be procured upon any terms
and should be thoroughly tested before
use. Some excellent suggestions vii
be found in the article referred to, az
to the manner Of TESTING. In these
measures, we feel assured that the
farmers, who have suffered in common
during the past year, will render every
assistance to each other. 1t is a mat
ter IN which all, of every class, are in
terested, and which it is well to think
Of and talk about.

Tho Nluscatlne Cedar Valley Railroad
The k ONO Convention.

1t is probably well understood that
the work upon the Mnscatine Railroad
from Wilton junction to Upton, is
slowly progressing. Messrs. Carmichael
and Curtiss are at work between the
Junction and Upton with about one
hundred men, while above Upton some
seventy five men are engaged in gra-
ding-nearly two thirds. of which work
on that section, is completed. 1t is
however reported that there is but lit
tie cash in the treasury, and it requires
but little penetration to predict that a
continuation OF such state of affairs,
will soon put stop to the work.
These facts however, do not seem to
discourage our friends Of Muscatine +;
