THE COUNTY POOR.

On Thursday last, DR.. Wilder,
County Physician, called around IN
his buggy and took US down to see
the County Poor Farm, % miles
southeast Of town; and in company
with him and Mr.. Rambo, the worthy
Superintendent, we went through the
Poor House thoroughly. And ifthere
are any in the County who, though
well and strong, are disposed to grum-
BILE at their lot, we think similar
visit to this last resort of want and
wretchedness here would at least tend
to make them more c0ntented and
thankful that things are as well with
them AZ they are.
The following II . list Of all the
paupers now In the Poor House, with
note Of their condition:
Israel Phillips, OF Knoxville Town
ship; fits; old inmate; no change.
John Autcn, Knoxville Tp.; old
inmate.
Mary Myers, Lake Prairie; diseased;
old inmate.
Alfred Errington, Knoxville Tp.;
semi -idiotic; old inmate.
Webster Shunkwiler; youth, help
less, and semi-idiotic from infancy;
old inmate.
Thomas Farley, Red Rock Tp.; new
inmate; sickness and poverty.
Mrs. Melinda Farley, his wife;
Thomas F. and George w. Farley, his
sons; and Mary Long, his wife's
daughter; poverty, from the helpless
ness of head of family.
Elihu Shepherd, Knoxville Tp.;
old inmate; old age and poverty; fail
ing fast.
There have been no deaths at the
House since that Of poor Thomas
nearin, last March; and the general
health of the inmates Is now good.
Only 80 acres Of the Farm land are
broken, and of these only 65 acres are
fit for cultivation; and they were all
In use this year. The crops on the
Farm this year were as follows:-30
acres corn, yielding probably 1000
bushels; % acres wheat, 30 poor a
crop this year as to yield not more
than about bushels per acre; 8 acres
oats, giving 1877 bushels; 1 Of an acre
potatoes, giving 100 bushels; acre
buckwheat, IL bushels; ] acre beans,
no crop; 30 bushels Of onions raised,
and full supply of all garden vegeta-
bles. OF the corn, four acres yielded
three hundred bushels, Mr.. Rambo
informed us.
There are on the Farm, belonging
to the County, mich cows, 4 Spring
calves, yearling heller, 10 hogs and
80 pigs.
j The calves destroyed good deal Of
produce this year, for want of sufii.
cient fencing on the Farm; and they
make muddy, nasty place in front
Of the House all the time, for want Of
fence to keep them away.
The Poor House Is two-story frame
building, with stone basement; 38x70
I feet; painted white; and contains q
rooms, beside kitchen and cellar.
There are also on the PREMISES frame
stable, considerably too small; and an
Insane House and yard-the latter
building unoccupied since Tom. Gear.
in's death, now partly used as gran
larry. The buildings seem to be all in
average condition; but the floors Of
the Poor House, at least In the halls
and part Of the rooms, sadly need
/ painting. In fact, u II literally i'm.
] possible 70 keep them clean and dry
, without Il.
. Mr.. Rambo, the superintendent
: and his excellent LADY, srs dIscharg
ing their duties, We believe, 70 TIL
! best OF their ability; but the Farm
and buildings very much need som'
! conveniencss which they have No ~
|, lthority to procure.

THE DIFFERENCE between the Eas

and the West as to the amount Of
elbow" and notoriety evolved by any
given action or event was most re-
markably illustrated during the war.
Battles west OF the Mississippi, like
Helena and Jenkins Ferry, dropped
into the Past almost unknown to the
country at large, while thousands Of
skirmishes, Of far less importance,
were blazoned all over the United
States merely because they occurred
in the East or other sections where
Railroads and Telegraphs and News
papers are more numerous. And
ever since the war the same difference
is noticeable in everything. For ex-
ample, the Shafer murder, In this
County, few months ago, had 1t oc-
Cured in New York, or near any
great Eastern city, would have been
photographed and pen-pictured hun.
dreds of times, all the illustrated
papers would have been full Of it for
weeks, and the whole country would
have rung again with the details Of
the great tragedy. We mention this
example merely to show the differ.
ence, not to complain, Of course.
But there IL another instance Of tn,
same difference, more worthy of com
plaint:-
| A year or two ago, a man in Newark
New Jersey, got the idea into hi
head that there was something new
to be learned In our means of l0como
ton. So, discarding wheels as pro
Polling. power, he took the human
frame for model, and went at work
and fitted up steam machine as nea
like It AZ he could, and called 1t tn,
"Steam Man." The great New Yorl
dailies got hold Of 1t, pulled 1t up ant
made much Of it-and 1t was reall,
ingenious affair withal-and 1t became
one Of the notOrieties of the country
with at least the name Of which ev
erybody was familiar.
i Now for the obverse:-Mr. Savage
a practical Machinist and Founder o
Knoxville, after having invented va
rious practical Improvements in tn
application Of steam to machinery
has finally gone to work and designe,
and partially constructed a steam 10
connective, or road wagon, on entirely
new principles In every respect, from
beginning to end-having new styl
Of frame, of boiler, Of engine, and o
. everything else--all perfectly uniqu
and original, and, as far a. we ar,
able to judge, reasonably sure to sue
coed. Even ~ 1t stands, incomplete
Its model and design are a marvel Q
mechanical ingenuity and originality
But the country at large will neve
hear Of 1t, further than mere brie
paragraph to the effect that "a mai
out West has invented new roa
wagon" &C., &C., until Mr.. 8. finall,
} brings his locomotive to completion
and then, fit stands the trial as W
hope and think 1t will, 1t certainl
must make stir In the world. Hurr,
It up, Mr.. Savage, and let US see.

commit suicide by taking arsenic; but
the amount she swallowed, 4 teaspoon
