NEW GooDs--Fiek d Fskridge advertise new
goods in today's paper. They have large stock
here and on the way. Flick informs thathe has
the largest and best stock of boots and sh ever
offered in this market. We have some of
them, and believe Flick is right in making this
assertion. The Judge, who can sell goods as well
as help make laws, and the prince of "good fell
lows" Bill Kendall, may always be found on duty
behind the counters, ready to wait on customers.
1t don't cost anything to look at their stoek-and
their goods will bear inspection. Give them a
call.
Hurst has also received portion of his stock,
since last issue, and is looking daily for more.
Wsskey q Hurst are experienced merchants. and
always buy the best goods.

SORGHUM IN KANSAS. u. S. Hidden
writes that sorghum has been perfect
success in Nemaha county. Over FIVE thou
sand gallons of fine syrup was made the past
season, entirely with home made mills. The
yield was from $50 to 200 gallons per acre;
some of it has grained. His pans for boil
ing held IS gallons, but he found that to fill
the pan only half full and run down as
quickly as possible, made the best syrup

PREMIUM BREAD RECIPEs.-The follow
ing directions for making bread were given
by the ladies to whom premiums were
awarded for the best samples shown at the
Presque Isle (Me) Agricultural Extibi-
ton. Mrs. c. P. Dean says: 81 take one
and half cuptuls of new milk. and the
same amount of boiling water, add flour to
this to make yeast, and let it set until it
rises; then add flour until the dough is thick
enough for baking. Let it rise half an hour;
then bake it."
Mrs. Sarah A. Emerson's method: ''Take
one pint of boiling water, half teaspoon
full Of salt; when it is lukewarm, stir in -four
until it becomes thick batter; set the dish
in warm water, in warm place, until the
batter rises. Then mix with it one quart
of sweet milk or water. and stir in -four un-
til it forms thick batter: set it in warm
place until it rises; add -four until il is hard
enough to knead; then let it set until it rises
again, and bake it by gradual FIRE until
DONE"
How TO PREPARE TRrPB.-When it is
taken from the beef, turn it inside out, tax
ing care not to get any more DIRT than pos
sible on the outside, after which sew it up
and rinse well. Then put it in lime water
over night. and the next morning cut it
into pieces of convenient size, and lay them
on board or table aud scrape them well
with knife, after which they should be
thrown into clean water and remain there
until the following morning. when It will be
fit for use. This is decidedly the best way
to prepare tripe, as it looks much nicer,
gives It better flavor, aud requires infinitely
less labor Prairie Farmer.
A SUBSTITUTE FOR CoFFEE.-O. r. Tisdel,
writes: Take common garden carrots, wash,
slice in say I inch pieces; cut across, leav-
ing the pieces about the size of kernels Of
corn; dry on tins in sn oven about "a hours,
then brown and grind the same as other cof-
fee. Use this with one-fourth part or less
of Rio or Java coffee. and rich excellent
coffee is made. requiring good Judge to
distinguish it from the pure article. Nshoutd
mol be made too strong.

Farmers will do well to preserve this table
and compare it with the average yield of
the same articles in this country. The
lowest average of wheat, in any county, is
224 bushels per acre in Devonshire, and the
highest 344 bushels in Lancashire.
The lowest average of barley is 90 bush
els per acre, in Shropshire, and the highest
average of barley is IA bushels in North

The lowest average of oats is 34a bush

Disinfecting Agents.

Now that the warm weather is upon us,
our citizens should thoroughly cleanse their
premises, rendering them as pure and healthy
as possible We are convinced that great
portion Of the disease SO prevalent during the
hot months in summer, is attributable to the
accumulation of filth in alleys and yards. There
are number of disnfecting agents which
will be found eficacious in removing offensive
smells from damp, moldy cellars, yards, pools
of stagnant water, decaying vegetable matter,
&c. Either of the following will answer the
purpose, while they cost but tritle:
One pint of the liquor of chloride of
zinc in one pailful of water, and one pound
of chloride Of lime in another pailful of water.
This is perhaps the most effective of anything
that can be used, and when thrown upon
decayed vegetable matter of any description,
will efiectualIy destroy all offensive odors.
Three or four pounds of sulphate of iron
(copperas) dissolved in pailful of water will,
in many cases, be sufficient to remove all Of
tensivc odors.
3 Chloride of lime is letter TO scatter
about in damp places, in yards and damp Gel
lars, and upon heaps of filth Scientific

man nearer the sea shore. The farmer
had saved up all the money in gold, fearing
to trust tie banks in these war times. Week
before last, he logged down his gold and
paid it over, when the following colloquy
ensued:
"Why, you don't mean to give this $4,000
in gold, do you?" said the lender.
"Yes, certainly" said the farmer, 81 was
afraid Of the pesky banks, and so I've been

\ Fearful Scene.

During the late exhibition of Van AM
burghs menagerie at Monongahela City,
PENNSYLVANIA, a fearful and exciting scene
occurred. 1t appears that shortly after the
audience had assembled, a severe storm
arose. which tore the canvass into
rags. and threatened serious injury to the
spectators While the storm king roared
and rcbelled one of the huge tigers got out OF
his cage, which added new terror to the
scene. The vast assemblage swayed from side
to side, first to that part of the tent which had
been blown oil, and then to the main ell
trance. Some Jumped from the top of the
seats through the opening between the top
and circular Enclosure others cut themselves
passage through the canvass, and all rush
ed with alarm, for any place of escape, prefer
ring to brave the storm to taking their
chance amid the chrushing timbers and fu-
rious wild beasts. Women shrleked tor help
and children cried ; strong men looked pale
and taking the confusion of the multitude and
the raging of the storm, the scene was fearful
and appalling. The keepers of the animals
stood by the cages Ct these wild denizens Of
the woods and jungles with anxious looks
The man who kept the elephant Hannibal
stood in front of the huge brute, with his
hands upon his tusks, as pale as a corpse
One of the lions had partaken of the excite
ment, and by his glazing eyeballs, erect post
ure, and extended and flowing name, gave al
idea of how he looks in his native forest. Tit
tiger which had escaped was driven back b!
Mr. Van Amburgh into cage with this lion
ard the king of the woods had put his huge
paw upon him, and was holding him tieh
upon the floor. Nature grand and terrible
was on exhibition at this show. After SOM
moments of fearful confusion the storm ceas
ed and the audience separated, but not unit
several had been injured from being trample'
on and bruised in the general confusion whcl
prevailed.
