FOUND DEAD.-The BrattlebOro
Phoenix says that Mr.. Elisha Harris.
a citizen of Fairfax, was found dead
in the woods not far from his house
on Wednesday afternoon last. The
circumstances attending his death
would indicate that he lost his life by
the falling of tree which probably
killed him instantly. He was quite
au aged gentleman-nearly s. years
old but was smart and active as
most men at fifty. He was very much
respected throughout the town and
wherever known.

points of difference between civilized

1t will be noted that the quantity
of mineral matter is small, only pa
pounds from $500 pounds Of straw
and grain. The principal ingredi-
ents taken from the soil by the grain
are potash, phosphoric acid, magnesia,
soda and lime, the two latter in very
small quantity. And in the straw
we 600 that SILICA is the main lngre-
dent, and then potash, lime, phospho-
ric acid, sulphuric acid and magnesia.
The SILICA is generally readily sup
piled from the soil. Thus we see
that our principal effort, where the
soil fails to raise rcmunerative crops,
should be to supply potash, phospho-
ric acid, magnesia and lime. The
ash of the grain contains about Al
per cent. of phosphoric acid, and
thirty per cent. Of potash.
BONES.
Raw bones will supply the phos

Hunting for the Cows.

Many of our farmers have wasted
years of valuable time Just because they
did not teach their cows TO come home
at night. Any one who has, lived or

woods or the tall grass in the great pas
ture We have had a little experience
in these matters, and well remember
how many times we have waded through
the brush and bogs looking for the COWS
and, boy like, we thought them contra
ry animals. But we have lived long
enough to learn better, and now think
that the biped was the more contrary
animal of the two. Boys we will tell
you secret that will save you great
deal of trouble, and it is this 81. glA
just sow a few rows of corn in drills,
where it will be handy to the milking
place, and every time the COWS are driV-
en- up at night, or in the morning, give
each one good arnlfirl OF the fresh corn
stalks, and our wcrd for it, the COWS will
always be on hand at milking time. Be

PHENoMENA ON LAKE ONTARIo.-One
Of the strangest phenomena ever wit
messed has recently occurred along the
shores of Lake Ontario, in the towns
of Sodus and Williamson. For three
weeks previous to last Friday, August
7th, the water of the Lake has been un-
usually warfn-so warm, indeed, that
very many persons resorted thither for
the purpose of bathing, remaining in the
water an hour or more at time without
experiencing sensations of chillness. On
Friday however, a sudden change occur
red, the temperature of the water falling
nearly 20 o within three hours. And
now comes the strangest part of the
story. The fish, great and small, as the
cold increased, seemed possessed with a
desire to get ashore, and came leaping
and tumbling against the banks in hnn-
dreds and thousands. Large quantities
were taken with spears aud nets, and
the shores of the lake were lined with
dead fish. Whether. the fish were be-
numbed by the increasing coldness, and
instinctively sought the shore, where the
water was of less depth, let the natural
ist say we will not pretend to explain
The water of Lake Ontario is now cold
er by several degrees than it has been
for several years, at this season, and nat
urally attracts considera BILE comment

several districts of India, is Of moderate

minute silky hairs. The Germans fancy
they can discover resemblance in them

three miles from NIiddletown. A gen
tleman living in the neighborhood went
out cunning on the Fourth. and in
the course OF his perambulations reached
the river bank. All of a sudden it gave
way beneath him, and he slid down the
slope forty feet, feeling at the same time
that he was sinking in to the sand. He
thought it a quicksand deposit, and gave
himself up for lost; but he slid down
safely with his gun, sinking i'll however,
above his knees. After getting up and
shaking off the fine soil, he next thought
of cleaning out his gun, for in his fall
it had become filled and covered with
sand. What was his surprise to find
that in wiping off the barrel he had pol
ished it up bright 1t Immediately oc-

How Mormonism will Perish.

In a country where women are not
plentiful, polygamy cannot long Continue.
The doctrine Of supply and demand
will regulate that, the same as III all 9TH
er human affairs. The text for the
death of pologamy in Utah will be found
in the following figures: The census re-
turns of 1850 stated the white pOpula-
tion of L tab at that time to be 40, pa,
of whom Il, 754, ora little less than one
third, were of foreign birth Of these
foreign emigrants, ,S24 had come from
Denmark, 1904 from England, 27s from
ireland, CAT from British America, l57
from Norway, ], ,128 from Scotland, l96
from Sweden, and 945 from w ales. vi
these 81, 400 American Mormons, l5,96S
are reported to have. been born in the
Territories, and they were evidently near
ly all children; for more than halt OF
the population of Utah consisted OF M
nors less than twenty years OF age 70
probable that at least one hali otssile
adult Mormons of 1860 were OF l9re,gn
birth, and that at present s.ilt slalgel
proportion of Brigham oung suR]ectSs
are of foreign origin, The DIVISION n OF tine the
sayeesss in 1850 was as follows; Males, 20

as,3,'ortion ,ro is maintained it will be i'm

peciaIly if, as is probable, a large male
population is attracted to Utah by de
