FLOWING,

The difference in the amount of products
between land that has been thoroughly titled
andst that which has only undergone an apol-
ogy for tillage, must have at times arrested
the attention of the most careless reader.
Land adequately rnanured, deeply and finely
ploWed and properly seeded can alone be re-
iedon as source Of profit to The cultivator.
Yet how few farms around US where these
desirable things axe carried out to their full
and proper extent.
Many farmers viii admit that they do not
conduct their business as they know it might
be done. They undertake more than they
can perform properly. Their manure is not
applied to the proper crops, and in many
ways fully half the labor may be said to be
lost.
The garden is that part Of the farm where
the effects of thorough blowing and manuring
are seen, in the increased product and profit
for labor bestowed; though the gardens are
too often but shadows Of what they might be
and should be if cultivated property. The
Farmer cultivates his garden deeper and finer
than the rest Of his premises, and nlanures it
better, scarcely seeming to remember that the
field crops require the same depth for free
expansion Of the roots and the same richness
of soil to promote their rapid growth that is
required in garden vegetables.
Let the farmer examine the extent and
depth ia which the roots Of grain in loose
and favorable soil win spread, and he win
cease 10 wonder at the failure of crop when,
the subsoil at The depth of four or FIVE inches
is not stirred by the pillow, over the hardpan
of which the tender fbres of roots vainly
wander in search of proper nutriment and
truitlesslg strive to penetrate. GepaGntotcn

THE ISLAND TRADE.

The last number of the Ottawa County Union
says: merchant of Ottowa City, Just returned
from Cleveland says he learned while in that
city that "two new steamers are in course of
construction, to run from Cleveland daily, touch
ing the Islands, Ottawa City, and thence to To-
ledo. We hardly expected, three weeks ago,
when we wrore the article to stir up our San
dusky friends, that che ball would be put in
motion so soon. As soon as this line of steam
ers are placed in operation it WILL to great ex-
tent, ALLEVIATE that identity Of interest that has
been growing up SO fast for year or two be-
tween the people of this county and Sandusky
city.
IF our Sandusky friends are not alive to
their own interest and furnish the people with
sufficient accommodations to get their trade,
they must not be surprised to find that other
avenues for their commerce will be opened unto
them. The fish and grape business are only
in their infancy as yet and if the steamers of
the last year could not do the business, how can
they by another year, when it will be almost
doublef"

HIGHWAY ROBBERY

On Friday evening, as Mr.. John McIntire was
on the road 10 this city from Milan, and when
about one and half miles from the latter place
mis- horse was stopped by villain taking him
by the bride bit, while two other scoundrels
ordered Mr.. McIutire to get out of his buggy,
at the same time drawing revolver upon him.
Mr. McIntire told them if they wanted him out
they would have to assist him. They then or
dered him to hand over his money which he
again refused to do, but made no resistance to
their taking it, as he was entirely defenseless,
not having anything in the shape of fire arms
about him. The villains then rifed his pockets,
easing him of his pocket-book, containing two
hundred and eighty dollars, and a silver watch
worth some forty or fifty dollars more
They were blacked, and on obtaining the money
and watch made tracks across an adjoining field j..
1t is very inconvenient to go loaded down with
firearms, besides it is contrary to the State
statute to carry concealed weapons, but there is
no safety in being out either in town or country
after dark, unless man is armed to the teeth.

Many of our good country people have
great horror of the City, feeling that it is but
vortex of crime and misery. Now the city is
not all bad nor all good; in fact, it is but the
contrary condensed-good and bad commingled.
Cities draw their nourishment from the coun-
try. The great moving minds of every city,
were originally country boys and girls.
Every ambitious country youth who feels a
desire for more active life than seems in pros
pect at his rural home, naturally seeks the city.
To youth thus starting, upon the first acquain-
tances he meets, and the associations he falls
into, everything depends. Therefore, if he
business training nothing is more natural or
more judicious than that he should seek it in a
city where he chooses 10 be employed We are
led 10 these remarks by noticing the commen-
dations given to the Cleveland Business Col
lege.
1 student receiving his training there (and
there is 30 better place. secures for his first ac
quaintauees, the large crops of teachers compris-
ing the faculty of the College, and through them
becomes connected with good associates at the
outset of his career.
Parents can readily see that it is better for
their sons to pass their first three or six months
of city life under the restraining influences of a
corps of teachers, than to plunge them headlong
either ,oih or wtI,om business training into
unknown associations.
For particulars with reference to the above
well known College, we advise our friends to

since, young man, stranger IN the city, who
had made the acquaintance Of lady or two on
the ice. asked an introduction to another who
wore very fine pair of skates. The introduc-
ton was given, and they were soon engaged in
a conversation, which terminated with short
run over the ice. The lady having grown tired
of skating he helped her off with her skates,
which she left in his charge minute or two un-
til she could speak to a lady friend. When she
returned for her skates, she found them and the
chivalrous youth both missing. The scoundrel

PoRK.-The highest prices yet reached in our
market is $ll.2O per 100. The average is quite
below that figure. A good deal has been
brought in, many feeling that in the current
fuctuation of prices, it is unsafe to hold on and
feed their hogs longer. Others are waiting for
a rise to an even Sl2. Others still want $l2.-
50, and numbers have determined upon $l3, or
no sale. With the present unsettled state Of
the market, it is very difficult TO forecast its
changes. This however we may say, the ten
dency seems rather upward at present.
