SUICIDE.-A sad case of suicide recently
occurred in Bartlett Osborne Eastman. a
young man of about twenty five years, had
been insane for little over year, but
was considered perfectly harmless, and was
allowed his liberty about his fathers prem
ises. Some fears that he might attempt
his life were lately excited, and he had
been watched, but it seems he had manag-
ed to secrete a pistol in his room. AT abb
out u O'Clock on the night of the I'd, the
report of pistol was heard, and the father
of the young man rushed at once to his
chamber and found him lying in bed with
the clothes pulled over his head. The fath
er pulled down the clothes, and binding
cloud of smoke poured out. He exclaim-
ed, Osborne, what have you done?" The
son replied, Father, have shot myself p'
"What did you do that for?" said the ag-
onized parent. Because / never should
have been any better, and wanted to be
out of misery" was theanswer The young
man lived but short time, and was bur.
ried on the 4th inst. The bereaved family
of the deceased have the deep sympathy O.

THRILLING ADVENTURE WITH INDIANS.
"A letter from Fort Fetterman Wyoming
Territory, to the Cheyenne Leader, states
that on the 2Sth Of October three men
named McKenna, McAlister and Went
worth of Co. X, ID cavalry, went out hunt
Ing, and night overlook them fifteen miles
from the fort near the entrance of a canon.
They turned intoasecluded glen, and while
one of them kept watch the other two made
bed and went to sleep for the night
About midnight, it being cold, the watch
man very imprudently made fire and laid
down by the side of his comrades, doubt
less not intending to g to sleep. One Of
them warned him Of his imprudence, but
received an assurance that al was well and
again fell asleep. 1t is probable that the
sentinel did the same. A few minutes af-
forwards terrific discharge Of firearms in
such close proximity that the powder burn
ed the faces Of the sleepers, proved the fol-
ly of their watchers feeling Of security
The account says:
zone Of the men, McKenna, did not
move--a ball had pierced his temple, an
other his heart, and four entered his breast.
Death itself had succeeded its counterfeit.
McAllster sprang up with a single excla-
nation, and fell back dead pierced by q
dozen bullets. Wentworth who was sleep
ing between the two, was not scratched
Being a man of great nerve and much ex-
perience with the Indians, his plans were
instantly matured, and as quickly execut.
ed. Selling his pistol as he slipped from
the side Of his dead comrades, he shot the
Indian who confronted him as he rose
jumped over his PROSTATE body; knocked
down the next in his path; sprang in am
ong the ponies, from which the savages haC
dismounted, and running through the hero
gained the creek, and under the cover o
Its friendly bushes escaped his .pursuers
ana came barefoot over the Jagged rock
and prickly pears TO the post, where he ar
rived about 6 O'clock, in a condition Il
move the heart of the most unfeeling. Tn
flesh OF his heels and the balls of his fee
were wore to the bone. and on their ray
surface he had made most of his terribl
march for life
On receipt of the information, the com
pany instantly proceeded to the place an
found the bodies as he had described, bu
strange to say, neither scalped nor mutilat
ed. Stranger still, their guns, ammunition
overcoats, saddles and bed blankets wei
all there undisturbeG. One of their no
ses had been shot and left; the other thrc
we're taken off by the Indians"

"How TO MAKE THE FARM PAY"-We
believe the book with the above title to be
Just the book the farmers need. They do
not want long scientific discussions, but
plain practical information such As fills
this volume. How to make the farm pay
il just what our farmers want to know. If
any one by long experience and careful
experiments has really any information to
offer the farmers want it. One of the au-
thors of the above book has been secretary
of the Massachusetts State Beard Of Agri-
culture, for nearly twenty years, and every
improvement upon old methods has been
made the subject Of careful inquiry. The
other names we see in the preface are those
of the best practical agricultural men OF
the country. The result is that we have a
work with the latest and most reliable in
formation upon every subject connected
with farming. The different chapters treat
of drainage, blowing, manures, implements,
grains, grasses, root crops rotation Of crops
horses, cattle, dairy stock, sheep, swine, and
other domestic animals, poultry, bees, fruit
culture, grape culture and wine making
small fruits, diseases and insects, farm
buildings, market gardening, and many
other items It has also a fine collection
of recipes for cooking, &c, and chapter
on the ordinary diseases of the family with
plain and simple remedies. 1t is on the
whole most complete work and should be
in every farmers house. The book is hand.
some enough for the parlor table and du
rable enough for a generation. There arc
one hundred and forty-one fine illustrations
not mere pictures only, but instructive anC
useful to the cultiyators of the soil We
understand that the agents who are canvas
sing in other sections are meeting with
great success and we trust that the farmer,
in our own county will soon have a chance
TO secure this invaluable work. Zeigler
