FRoH LAKE SUPERIoR-The steamer
Michigan arrived from Lake Superior about
one o'clock this morning with a load of iron
ore.
The steamer Traveller, Captain Miller, ar
rived this morning from OntonagOn. She
left there on Friday night last, stopping at
Portage. Three vessels were loading at
Marquette. Captain Miller says the water is
quite low in Portage river. The Iron City
cannot run up there, neither can the North
ern Light.
In connection with the above we would
like to saya few words with regard to re-
ports Of Lake Superior boats. The clerks
usually keep clogs of downward trips, but
unless the reporter is on hand Immediately
on the arrival of the boat it is rarely that he
can get the news. We often, after consider
able trouble to reach the boat, lying as it
frequently does across the river, find that the
'f log +" is locked up in the clerks Office and
the clerk gone up town. We would suggest
that copy of the clerks "log" be left at
some convenient place on the river where the
several reporters may copy it. Such an ar
rRngement would be as much to the interest
of the boats as it would be to the convent
ence of the reporters. The publication of
news brought by Lake Superior boats is SO
much gratuitous advertising for them, and it
is not too much to ask that they furnish US
facilities for obtaining it.

ARREST OF A communicated
Monday afternoon, depot officer Clark War
ren returning on the cars from the East,
learned at Girard by telegraph from Con
stable Kelsey, of Meadville, that runaway
party, consisting of man and young girl,
would probably take the cara at that point
for the West. The description Of the party
being given, Officer Warren arrested them
after leaving Girard.
The mans name is n. W. Brink. He has
a wife and family living in Schuyler county,
New York. His victim is girl abOutsix-
teen years of age, named Emma Roudebush.
Her father is Michael Roudebush, farmer
living in Blooming Valley, Crawford county,
Psnnsylvania. She worked for family re-
siding about sixteen miles vest of her
fathers, where Brink boarded. This Brink
came there from New York State about six
months ago, and worked at the cooper bust
ness. According to her story he sedhced
her, and then induced her to run away with
him. They intended to go to Minnesota.
They went to Meadville on Sunday, staid at
a hotel as man and wife, and then came on
to Girard by the Erie & Pittsburgh road.
They were traced to MeadviIle, from whence
the telegraph found them out.
On arriving here officer Warren put the
man in Jail and took the girl to his own
house, where he kept her until this morning.
Constable Kelley, Of MeadviIls, was tele-
graphed to and arrived this morning on the
early train. He returned on the mail train
at 10 O'Clock A. n, having Brink closely
ironed. The girl accompanied him. She is
very handsome girl, young and innocent
in appearance. Brink is apparently about
thirty years of age, and not rrepossessing in
his looks. The girl expressed an entire will
lingness to go home, but hardly seemed to
realize the position in which the wiles of a
villain have placed her. Brink is greatly
frightened at the prospect before him. He
richly deserves halter, and if the report Of
the officer is correct he may get it when he
gets among the neighbOrs of the girls fami-
! ly, for they are terribly incensed against
| him.

The correspondence Of the New York
Times says that the total loss Of our army
In the series Of engagements which it has
encountered during the last ten days, is
estimated BY competent judges at about
seventeen thousand. Dr.. Lstterman, Med
ical Director Of the Army, estimates the
total number Of wounded at ten thousand.
Add to this prisoners and wounded now in
rebel hands, some seven thousand more.
The enemy's loss cannot have been less
than our own. In she battle of Monday
evening, at Salem Heights, it was much
greater, as they rushed upon our batteries
with all the recklessness which character
lied their charges on our guns at Malvern
Hills.

to do anything which would be nugatory in

From the American Agriculturist.
An Ioyvn COrn.Nlnrlxer. s.

Iowa is well adapted to the cultivation Of
corn, yet many are SO careless that weeds often
get the mastery, hence they get poor remu-
neration for their hard toll. One great reason
is, that after fitting the land for seeding, they
spend several days in "furrowing each way"
with shovel pillow, jogging along in zigzag
find the rows after it comes up. This requires
much labor, and is Of no benefit except in
making easy planting. The corn is placed too
deep to feel the warmth OF the sun when 1t
needs it the most, and the farmer has to wait
too long for the corn to get large enough to
keep from covering it up the first time
through with the pillow or cultivator. Corn
needs light, air and warmth to vegetatc and
grow rapidly; to obtain these abundanfly
cannot think deep furrow favorable NV
way is to pillow deep and harrow lightly to
level the surface, then make marker after
this fashion. - Take two hard wood poles,
or scantling, fourteen feet long, lay them par
allel, and pin to them at right angles four
blocks two feet long and two inches thick, at
distance of three and half feet apart.
Slant off the front ends of the blocks, making
them like sled runners. Turn tn, apparatus
over, fasten tongue to the middle OF the
front pole, and the marker is complete
Hitch on the horses, take your place on the
center of the marker and drive on until the
field is marked in one direction, then cross,
mark in the same way. Stakes should be sci
at each end of the lot to guide by, instead Of
merely trying to run parallel with the last
mark. Fifteen acres can thus be marked
each way in a day. CD. RHODES.

How deep should Drains be dug

How deep should ASrAAns NC ~s.S'
A correspondent Of the Germantown TEL
eorapA says that this is question upon
which there always has been and perhaps
always will be difference of opinion. The
depth required must depend on the kind OF
soil for if the soil is hard one, on top OF
q hard, gravelly one, do not find there is
much advantage in going far into the hard
pan. If, on the other hand, the subsoil is
loose and more easily dug, there is an advan
tage to be derived from going deeper. My
rule is, to gusge the drains by their distance
apart. Let the depth be one-seventh of their
distance asunder, and twill secure thorough
drainage. If the subsoil be bard, and the
digging expensive, then do not sink the drains
so deep, but place them closer together, and
hold on the above rule In many cases, es-
pecially where tile are used, it will be more
economical to sink the drain one foot deeper,
and by so doing, save one-seventh of the tile
but where the tile can be cheaply procured
this is not always the case. For farm drain
p, efer them about four feet deep with an
opening formed of fat stone in the bottom
and this covered with small stone to " ithir
twenty inches Of the top. Tho latter are moi
necessary if those forming the opening are
covered with reserved sods. .u.5

finest variety of Spring Wheat ever brought
into the State The seed was grown last
wear, in Minnesota, where it produced well.-
It has not been tested in this State. The sup
Div is very limited Persons applying will
be furnished as long as the supply lasts, with
sufficient for small experiment. Those rec
ceiving it by mail are expected to prepay pos
tage with stamps, at the rate OF one cent an
ounce. =,
TOBACCO SEED. AS there is considerable
INQUIRY for Tobacco Seed, lam endeavorlng
to have sufficient quantity to meet, at least,
all demands for experimental cultivation. A
large portion of it was grown in Northern
Iowa. From a teaspeonful to q tablespoon

CorroN SEED. 1 am promised good sup.
Div of upland Cotton seed, perhaps sufficient
for all who will apply. Directions for cult
waiting will be sent with the seed.
HEMP SEED. A supply of Hemp Seed is
expected. Directions also will be sent with
this seed. The cultivation of Hemp can be
made profitable in this State.
WHITE WILLOW. Some ten or fifteen
thousand cuttings of White Willow will be
ready for distribution. This Willow is highly
commended both, for timber and hedging
Orders attended to when arrangements are
made for transportation by express, mail or
otherwise, with directions for setting, cult
walton, &c.
CRANBERRY PLANTS. All persons who de-
sire to cultivate the Cranberry, who will
pledge themselves that they will give the
plants thorough cultivation according to d.
rections, will receive from ten to twenty
plants, if ordered previous to the first of
March next The plants, however, will not
be ready to deliver before from the LIST to
thesl6th of April next. The time for setting
them out is in May. Arrangements must be
made by parties ordering to meet the expense
of transportation, which would not be much.
1t is possible that the plants can be sent safely
by mail, if so, the cost would be only one
cent an ounce. There is no good reason why
this plant may not be successfully grown in
this State, if properly attended to.
= All applications for either of the above will
be placed on file, and when they are ready for
distribution, will be forwarded to parties in
the order of receipt of application.

DEMJouN ToRPEDoEs. 1t appears, accord
ing to the letter ola correspondent, who gives
an account of the blowing up of the Cairo,
heretofore mentioned, that the torpedoes were
made of ten gallon dcmyohns filled with pow
der, and so anchored that they were about
four feet under water. They are discharged
by means of ordinary friction primers at
tached to cords designed to come in contact
with ascending boats. They contain no ma
chnery whatever, totally differing from the
complicated and useless inventions sunk near
Fol- IS Henry and Donnelson, and above Co.
lumbus. This is the first instance in the war
in which boat has been injured by torpedo
The means used in the present were as sim
pie as they were effective The force of the
explosion threw up large column of water,
thoroughly drenching the men in the imnedi
ate vicinity. A hole of considerable extent
was made in the bow, the planks being loos-
ened and torn apart SO as to admit the water
at rapid rate. The entire boat was shaken
from stem to stern, and her bow lifted so high
in the air that the water swept over the por-
ton ofthe stern aft Of the casematc. I
