Use OF The BAROMETER BY FAKNERs.-
There is no doubt that farmers would find
great advantage in consulting the borome-
ter when harvesting their crops. Several
instances of its usefulness have. been made
known to usi1 A gentleman who had fixed
day for corimencing haying, found that
his barometer or that morning indicated
rain, and be postponed haying. 1t rained
during the day and for two succeeding days
but be saved his hay, while his neghbors
who had no means of foretelling the weather
cut their grass and lost by the operation
A farmer at Chatham, N. Y, had large
quantity of hay and grain cut one day, and
on going to dinner noticed that the barome-
ter indicated rain. His men went immedi-
ately to work and saved most of the hay
and grain, while his neighbors who were
not forwarned in time experienced loss
A physician at Reading had fixed day for
haying the morning was fine, but the ba-
rometer said rain, and be deferred moving
and advised his neighbors to do the same
But they laughed at him and went to work
and the rain came at noon. Many such
facts might be given to show the value of
the barometer to farmer. 1t viii soon be
considered as indispensable in a farmer s
kitchen as clock or wife, Springfield

ANOTHER OF HIS TRICKs.-It is reported
on the streets that the leaders of the faction
have arranged 10 have the stump candidate
visit this city on the 18th inst, the day set
for the State Military Encampment, so as to
claim the attendance as simply and purely
to see Stephen. 1t is expected, of course,
that the Military Companies will meet him
at the Depot, and escort him to their en-
campment grounds, where he win enlight-
en- them on his peculiar views of squatter
sovereignty. Whether thisbeautiful arrange
rnent will meet the views of the Breckin-
ridge, Bell, and Lincoln men in the compa-
MES, rema ms to be seen. 1t is n good plan
to get cheap music, and crowd, SO as to
telegraph to the world that the military OF
Indiana delight to honor "the rising man.
But will it work We shall see.

be on the increase in New Orleans, occurred

the way as soon as be fired, and was lost to
Peck in the crowd, who had drawn his pistol
and held it above his head. Next dav. Fri.
day, about one o'clock, Mr.. Harris was eneap.
cd at the Office of the hotel paying his bill,
previous to departure, when DIR. Peck appear.
ed a few feet to the right of him. They were
seen to observe and look very steadily at each
otner-a few words were then heard to pass
between t~hem-when, suddenly, both had
their pistols out and were firing at each other
-harrls retreating towards the wine room,
and finally over and under the counter, Peck
following him up with a drawn knife after the
firing ceased, and also jumping over the coun.
ter, graphing and stabbing Harris. Cries
were made not to kill him, when Peck replied.
Then take care of him, gentlemen, for if I
desist be will surely kill me-" Here the af.
fair ended. Harris died in a few minutes
having been shot three or four times and stab.
