PERILs OF EDITING FRONTIER PAPER.-The
editor of the Owyhee Aralanche, under the head
of agreeable Business" gives the following
incident of newspaper EDITORS life on the bor
dcrs of civilization -" Oh, the felicity of edit
ing paper Charming, agreeable, in a horn !!
Fascinating, attractive occupation, but difficult
to appreciate. How nicely and smoothly one
gets along without any 'onpleasantness ! For
instance, in q recent issue referred directly
to a ruffian known Captain Prescott, and in
cidcnally to guerrilla named AL. Cage. We
did this in justice to ourself and the community
at large. The other day, while quietly seated
in sanctum, taxing brain for more
copy in response to the everlasting cry of the
devil, the two above named villains, one of them
armed with hatchet and the other with bowie
knife of large dimensions, made violent attack
upon person. The only alternative to
fight die. We accordingly seized large
knife, about two feet long, used for cutting pa
per, and bled our assailants pretty freely. They
sued for mercy, we spared their worthless lives
and told them to dust, and they got up and
busted. We would take this occasion to state
that if ever they or any one else attack US with
the intention of doing bodily harm, will
shoot them dead in their tracks cut their
thrOaiS from to ear. y

GERMAN REPUBLICAN PAPER.-The Union State
Central Committee have purchased the A6end
POST for the purpose of conducting German
Republican organ in this State. This is certain
ly very wise course for the committee, and
move in the right direction. The Germans, as
a class, are Republicans by nature, and are strict
advocates of Republican institutions yet they
are very sensitive people, and when some of
the Government revenue officers, who claimed
to be the representatives of the Union party,
became very exacting concerning the enforce
ment of the revenue law, in its strict conStruc-
ton, many of these men who were manufacturers
of lager were the victims of enormous and ex-
orbitant fines for some slight infractions Of the
same. The fact that large portion of these
fines went to the informer was an additional in
centive for unprincipaled men to seize upon the
slightest opportunity TO instigate prosecution.
The Germans visited the blame of these actions
upon the entire party. The Democracy, true 10
their natural instincts, were not slow TO make
capital out of this, and by promising that which
they had no power to fulfill, that they would,
soon they could get into power do away with
excise laws, induced these men to support their
cause in the last campaign. The Democracy
also used their usual tact in deceit and false
representations by causing the Union party to
shoulder the onus, as they called it, of the Sun
day law, by promising that it should be repealed.
But the German population have become de-
cidedly undeceived relative to the pretended in
tercst of the Democracy in their welfare, and
those of the true old line Republican stamp who
were led away last Fall in the way OF false gods,
are now returning TO their first and only true
love-the Union party-never again so be led to
stray into the forbidden pastures of copperhead-
ism. They now see through their empty
pretensions They gave the Democracy their
support and what have they received in return !?
Echo answers what?

will be put IN, we should think.e
That there is to be yet some cold
mornings and good deal OF chilly
weather may be expected, indeed is
rather to be hoped for, as no oc-
currence could be so hurtfnI as too
much warm weather at the start, to
be followed with freezing.
Seeding in timothy and clover,
with oat or wheat crops, should be
far more extensively practiced than
it is ihaonri clay soils. Meadow for
bay and pasture certainly pays very
well, besides the fertilizing advantage
to land. No question, much of our
land, even prairie soil, needs rest in
grass. An experienced farmer said
the other dsy, "the most profitable
crop man can put in is clover for
the seed it will pay much better
than wheat, besides the benefit TO
land" One difficulty il. there are no
