Beg Mr.. L. W. Sparks called at our
office on Saturday and left spear of
oats, five feet high, which he pulled
from large field on the prairies of
Iowa. He saw plenty of oats six feet
high, and says the crop is immens e..
Among other things was four hun
dred acre field of onions. Mr.. S., has
been on q three weeks visit to the
west, and says the crops the present
year will be very large. Game is plen-
ty, and it is no trouble to kill any
quantity of prairie chickens. He saw
the eclipse while in Iowa, and witness
ed G total darkness, stars mean
while shining. Farmers who did not
take the DAILY MONITOR or any other
paper did not know what to make OF
the strange sight, as they were not pos
ted in regard to the approach of the
eclipse.

BOYNTONS ELEVATED OVEN RANGE

| This new and beautiful Range, which has Just
been completed, is now offered to the public as the
most complete, convenient and desirable Elevated
Oven Range in the market and is the result of long
experience in the manufacture and setting of Cook
ing Ranges and we do not hesitate in recommend
ing it as the nearest to perfection of any Elevated
| Oven Range in the country.
| We will enumerate some of the peculiar advan-
| tages this Range possesses
| First-It is more beautiful in form and design
than any other pattern.
Second-It has much larger hot place Surface
for Boilers and Stew Pans, affordng larger accom-
modations for Cooking purposes
| Third-It has smaller Fire Chamber, and burns
less coal than any other pattern of Elevated Oven
Range, for the simple reason that the fire chamber
is entirely surrounded with fire brick instead of an
| open CRATE in front and water back in the rear
forming two sides of the fire las i'll all other pattern
ranges,) both of which chill and deaden the fire and
detract largely from the power, and make it abso-
| lutely necessary to burn larger amount of fuel
Fourth-The body of this Range is higher than
other patterns and is like the French Kitch-
eners, making it much more convenient and easy
| for the cook.
| Fifth-The hot closets are more accessible
placed in natural position (being in the body of
the Rangel instead OF above the ovens, in other
patterns.
sixth-The ovens do not project over the boiling
surface SO as to make it inconvenient in removing
| the boilers, as in other patterns.
| Seventh-There are better arrangements for con-
| veyng the steam to chimneys and controlling the
| draft, than most ranges.
| Eghth-The ovens bake more evenly, as we have
return fue over the top of the (which is the
point that most often ails) thus securing perfect
baking oven ON the top as well as on the bottom
| Ninth-The fiues in this range are all complete in
themselves, SO that it is unnecessary to form them
| of brick, (Which absorbs the heat and makes the
| setting of them much more simple and sure.
Tenth-The water back can be removed and the
| plumbing work can be repaired, if necessary with
out disturbing the brick work.

Gss2f~ John Burns, is a "squatter II
Roselle, but often times makes excur.
sions, predatory and otherwise. AT an
early hour on Saturday morning, John
left the pleasant little village, equipped
with shot gun, and supplied with an
immense quantity of ammunition,
which he proposed to use in the de-
struction of the feathery tribe While
John was wandering through the fields,
he ran across a friend, who invited him
to imbibe, which he did without any
reluctance. Two quarts of fusil oil
proved too much for Johns nerves,
and before he knew anything, he found
himself lying on the broad of his back
on the depot. Officer Whaley at noon,
found the warrior in this condition and
to prevent his doing damage to him
self or some peaceable citizen, convey
ed him to the lookup, where he passed
the day and night, and yesterday he
shouldered his gun, and started for his
home, satisfied with his exploit, and
glad to get off so easily. John remark
ed that the officer had bagged more
game than the gunner.

Rsss" We regret to announce to-day a
serious accident to Mr.. Adam Wirth,
baker at No, 6 Morris avenue, which
occurred on Saturday evening. Mr..
Wirth had some time before placed n
quantity of kindling wood in the oven,
and without closing the draft, he sub
sequently opened the oven door, when
the flames the wood having meantime
ignited) poured out of the door, scorch-
ing Mr.. Wirth in a dreadful manner
about the head. face and breast. His
terrible cries soon brought persons to
his assistance, and DR.. Bailey being
summoned did everything in his pow
er to relieve him. Mr.. With to day is
considerably improved, although he
suffers greatly. Tt was a most wonder
full escape from painful death.
