What Small -Fisted Farmer" Can %

The Westport Mo- Star thus notices
the operations of ''small-fsted farmer
in Jackson county. We need more Of Just
such men in Missouri:
Mr.. Horning has but ssven acres OF
ground, but We doubt not that with his
German thrift and industry he realizes as
much as many cd fogy farmers DO from
seventy. About thres acres are devoted
TO fruits and orchard grass-two acres to
grapes-one and one-ha to vegetables and
melons, ard the balance include his build
ings, store-rooms, yard, arbor, Sc. His
trees and vines were selected from the
very best-every vine having been inspec-
ted and recommended by Mr.. N. Long
worth, Of Cincinnati, bsfore being shipped.
Most of the vines are very young, and
only about one acre have been bearing
heretofore, ye: that one acre has yielded
more money than any ten acres of corn in
Jackson county. The grapes sell readily
at so cents per gallon, and the wine 1. $2,-
90 per gallon.
Last year this little orchard afforded 500
bushels rppIes for WestDOrt and adjacent
markets, at from 10 to 80 cents per bushel,
besides furnishing good pasturage TO two
or three iine COWS, whose yield OF milk,
butter, End cheese would be incredituble TO
loose farmers of the old fogy stock.
During the present season Mr.. Horning
has raised, in a corner of his ground, hun
dreds of melons, which were cashed as
soon as ripe.
With good luck, in favorable season, it
is estimated that The yield of this little Ger
mln farm will be abCu; as follows:
500 bushels apples, at 75c per bush. S 600
400 gallons grapes, sold nt SOC 200
400 wine at 50 80 loco
Melons, say 70
Vegetables, 125

Fearful gMoriaiity- &rychnine Wiisky--Li-
nng Operations Snog Storms.


From the 81. joseph Journal Oct. IS.
Saturday evening we met with MIR. Isa-
&C L. Shanklan, Of Monroe county, Ohio,
who, in company with four others, had just
returned from the Pixies Peak gold mines.
Mr.. S. stated that fearful mortality had
broke out in Mountain City, carrying OF as
many as fourteen miners per week. AT
first the disease was supposed to be noun
tain fever, but close inspection showed
that greater number of deaths were caus-
ed by drinking highly poisonous or strych-
nine whisky.
Mr., Shanklrn stated that he worked in
the mines for q period thres months. For
three weeks, he and three others took out
from 43 to 45 pvt. per day. The highest
they made in any one dsy was 65 pvt. and
10 grains. In this lead the dirt paid for
three or four feet, and it was emily necessa-
ry 10 dig down about 6 feet to strike the
lead.
AS early as the 4th of September. snow
fell in the mountains TO the depth Of ten or
twelve inches. This served to check mi
mining operations, ard when Mr.. S. and
party left, the miners were preparing to so
into winter quarters.

DOUGLAS II AREAwsAs,-Thus speaks
the Fort Smith Herald, lifelong Demo
cratic paper, and as the Memphis Appeal
expresses it) "as true 10 the South as tie
truest can be:''
We have of late been greeted by many
Of cur old citizens, not political aspirants,
but good old farmers and mechanics, who
do their own reading and thinking those
who have watched The course OF Judge
Douglas in Congress and out Of it. We
have frequently heard them remark, that
they would rather vote for Stephen A. Doug
las than any other man in the United States
for President. 1t is truly surprising how
much interest there is felt among the peo-
pie, even out here, in regard TO the election
Of President in 1860. Quite number who
were determined 10 read as oH Of the Dem
ocratic party twelve months ago, because
we defended Douglas on all occasions, are
now willing TO admit that they bel.eue Mr..
Douglas vii! receive the nomination of the
Democratic party at the Charleston Conven-
ton in April or May next.
- The Democracy of Missouri are di-
vided on Douglas: those for him are not
very b0isterOus, while those against him,
''cry aloud and spare no;." We commend

From Utah.

From the Leavenworth Times, Oct. 10Th ]
Capt. S. c. Mills, one of the two Gen
tiles elected to the Legislature of Utah
arrived in our city on Fridhy last. He il
stopping at the Planters.
Capt. Mills left Camp Floyd on the 9il
Of August with party Of civilians and ;
military escort, under the direction of Capt
Simpson, of the Typographical Engineers.
This latter gentleman left Fort Leaven,
worth on the Sd of May, 1853, to engage
in a survey Of q military road in Utah Ter,
ritory. Since that time he has been &C.
lively employed on his duties. The labors
Of the party have shortened the road be-
tween Camp Floyd and Placerville, Califor.
niu, two hundred and fifty-eish: miles.
Capt. Mills states the condition of affairs
in Mormondcm 10 be exceedingly unsettled
The biiterest feeling exists between the
Mormons and Gen,iIes, though the pres
ence Of the army restrains the violence Of
TIE former. 1t is not possible long TO pre-
serve the peaceabie relations between these
clements. Mr.. Greeley's account of the
Mormons is considered by Captain Mills
to be most faithful and accurate picture
of that people.
The Captain intends spending the win
ter at Washington, thinking 1t somewhat
Improbable TO run the risk of assassination
for the empty honcrs Of a seat with Nor.
mons in Territorial Legislature.

The BIBLE in THE Common SCHooIs--MrCH
ADO ABOUT NoTHlNG.-After long fight. In
which every species Of tactics and mannuvre
was rtsorted 70, the Board of Education have at
last decided that the Protestant Bible is hence
forth to be read in the common schools, DESPITE
the objections of certain Catholics and others.
The vote is twenty-five in the affirmative to six
teen in the negative. The whole discussion is q
miserable attempt On both sides to revive that
religious intolerance which for nearly century
has been buried in the tomb of the Capulets.
For several years this question has been a
source Of agitation, irritation and i'll will in New
York. II has been hitherto left to the respective
school committees to decide, aud just az men,
bera Of one Get Of opinions or another pre-
vailed the Bible has been either introduced
or excluded, which has led to religious
rancor and small local fights. But as Protestants
are IN majority on almost all the school com
mittces, our Protestant Bible was for the mos.
part retained il the schools. In the Fourth ward,
and, we believe, in one or two others, it was ex-
cluded, AID hence the discussion In the Board Of
Education upon the question to render the read
ing Of the sacred volume imperative in every
scbool-a ridiculous attempt to enlarge the field
Of hostile operations, and to engage the whole
people in religious controversy about the diff
ference between tweedle-dum and 'weedledee
No'hng can be more absurd. 1t is making ter
rible fuss about nothing. There is no real differ
ence between The two Bibles, and in this age of
the world it is not Of the slightest importance in
the education os children whether the Catholic
OF Protestant Bible is read, or any Bible at all
