OF Ex-PresIdent CabFal and Twenty
Leading DOmlnicaus.
HAVANA, August 27.-Advices from the
Dominican Republic TO the twentieth have
been received. President Baez was mobil-
izing large forces to put down the revolu-
ton, but desertion seems to be a national
falling of his troops, and was prompted
most part by the the misery that prevailed
among the government forces.
There is a rumor in circulation that of
fetal news has been received from Hayti
that General Cabral, Ex-President, with
twenty leading Dominicans, had been cap
tured there, and Immediately shot. This
reports probably part OF General Baez's
policy to terrorize the people of the South.
who are, however, as well posted as to Gen.
eral Cabrals movements and whereabouts
as the Haytien friends of General Baez
can be.

The Hop Failure.

Through series o! reports from
the hop growing region of Wisconsin,
one OF which we give in this issue, a
very melancholy state of facts is told
with great clearness aud thrilling in
terest. A serious visitation has be-
fallen a branch Of rural industry, un-
til recently locally looked upon as a
source of certain and ample remuner
alton and wealth. Based on the
large profits Of recent seasons.
very extraordinary preparations
and perils had been entered into
the present year by the people Of
that region, who seemed to have
staked their all on the hop culture.
The scourge OF lice, and frost cal
amity superadded, has swept away
the visions, until last week, daily
frightening by the growing promise
Of large yield. The hop failure
will be almost total, and those will
best appreciate its extent and effects
who have read the remarkable
sketches presented in our columns
Work FOR AUTVMN.-The CountrV
Gentleman says Every farmer Of
any pretensions TO intelligence must
have system OF working and crops
ping his land clearly defined in his
own mind, therefore he knows
where his manure will be required,
and Is aware Of the great set forward
it would be 10 have u good deal OF
the land plowed and lie ready for
being seeded immediately after the
frost breaks up, and Cd any requir-
ing to be stimulated, how Nee to
have had manure hauled to it when
the ground was sound, instead of
having to do it through mud and
along a road which is so bad that not
more than half loads can be taken
All such work as this being done,
ready for spring, makes everything
come easy, and does away with the
hurrying over every operation in
such way as to be mperfectiy per-
formed, and, instead, the whole of
the ste ling can he got through with
in so early stage OF the season that
some roots can be grown and the
grass cut when it is young enough
to make the best quality of hay.
If farmers would make use oil the
beautiful autumn weather, doing ese~
rything possible to be done at that
season, it would most assure1ly give
them such advantages as would re-
suit in their making at the very low
est computation, one-t third more
from their farms for nine years out
OF ten. The early sown crops are
most productive and OF the best quail
ity, and when farmer begins to get
ahead of mis- work he will be com
mencing to be ahead in every way,
and may be considered as made
man.

Road Making and Meniing.

All are more or less interested in
having good roads, and every citizen
should feel responsibility upon
himself to such aa extent us TO lend
influence aud means to make them
so. A community keeping their
public roads III good condition do
not receive their rctnrn wholly in
having a good carriage track 10 ride
upon, but an advance Is made Ia the
price OF real estate Good roads de-
note thrift aud enterprise, aud any
intelligent man seeking u home viii
never locate IN communlty where
good roads, good churches, anu
school houses are not found, let the
quality of the soil be as good rs it
may.
The main thing in making good
roads is To shape them SO as To Keep
| the water from the track, and to do
| this the center must be elevated SUI,
ticiently TO shed rain, and The ditch
es properly constructed to carry off
| the water. Ii the ted OF the road
is narrow and water is allowed TO
stand in the side bitches, capillary
attraction keeps the dirt moist, and
ruts will form.
Siuiceways are not usually plenty
enough, nor are conducting drains,
for pools OF water may be seen along
the Sides OF many county roads du>
ring nearly the whole year, and if
the water ever disappears II is by
evaporation.
One OF the worst features in the
management Of our roads is working
them but once II year, and this in
part accounts for the water pools on
the way side: the bitches not being
kept open after they arc construct
ed. Another bad feature is the plan
of filling rat>holes with cobble heads.
for as soon az the earth around the
stones settles, or washes away, an
annoying prominence is left 10 jog CIV,
