CHANGED INTO A TREE,-When the
the grave Of Roger Williams, the
founder Of Rhode Island, was opened,
for the purpose of removing his body
to monument erected to his memo
ry, nothing, more was found but
the rusting hinges and nails and
lock of braided hair. No human
hands, however had despoiled the
tomb but an apple-tree had sent
down two main roots, one OF which,
piercing the skull, had followed the
form of the cody, transmitting its or.
ganic matter into the woody fibre of
the tree.

Snrnrisa Oats.

We have specimen Of these oats in our Of
flee raised by Mr.. c. H. Willerton on his farm
in the town Of Pleasant Prairie. Mr.. Willer-
ton Informs US that the straw stands in the
field on the average about five feet high, and
that the yield of oats is sixty bushels to the
acre, and the weight of the oats. forty five
pounds to the bushel. Mr.. Willerton got the
oats of his nsighbor Mr.. Dowse, and Mr..
Dowse got them some place down in Illinois,
but farther Mr. Willerton could not give the
history of the oats.
We had read an account of the origin of the
Surprise Oats as distinct va rety, or at least
as having distinct name. but could not i'm
mediately call 1t to mind. An exchange
brings us anew this account of them. Mr..
Van Orlinda, farmer of Sandwich. Illinois,
found two or three stalks growing wild and
propagated from them.
These oats differ so much from all others
that the important question arises How
came they to be growing where they were
found The general opinion in such cases ia
that the seed, by some means, has been car
ried to where the stalks are growing. We are
inclined to adopt the opinion of spontaneous
evolution. We could, if so inclined, give
some strong reasons in favor Of that view but

VALUABLE TESTIMONY

THOMAS Rowland, Esq, an old resident of thi
county, aged "a years, has been deaf for a num
berof years, and troubled by constant unpleasant
sounds in his head. He called upon Dr. sMYTHa
the Halliday House two months ago, and had ali
operation performed on his ears which resulted in
instant relief. We saw BIr. Rowland two or three
days ago, and he informed US that the noises ar.
all gone, and his hearing is almost as acute as II
ever was. Such home testimony, coming from
citizen of Mr., a. e standing and restoration to
hearing of one ofhis age, is worthy of credence
and is sufficient to inspire with hope the afflicted
who are within reach of DR.. SMYTH.

GRAIN.-The receipts of wheat at the
principal ports have outstriped all expecta-
tons and exceeded anything in the past,
which circumstance has depressed prices to a
considerable extent. The average yield OF
wheat of the present seasons growth is not
large, as is well known, and the large offer
ings at Chicago signifies that other ports are
receiving less than their usual supply. At
this port we quote prices to-day at $1@S11S
for new wheat. Barley sells at an average
of $1@l.35. Oats are steady at 40c. Pota-

GEORGE w. FIERCE came to Kenosha, then
Southport, on the 9Th of July 1885, Seven
teen years ago last spring he emigrated to
California. Last week he made his first return
visit to Kenosha arriving on Saturday evening.
On Sunday morning we had the pleasure of
meeting Mr.. Pierce, and was the first, after
his brother, ofhis former Kenosha accouain-
tances whom he had seen and knew at first
sight. M
Mr.. Pierce brought with him some fruit
which he raised on his farm in California. We
were much gratified in seeing the fruit which
be brought and in eating some of it. The pears
were far superior to any other pears we ever
tasted He had two varieties of pears-the
Flemish Beauty and the Bartlett. Being late
inthe season he selected pears of about half
size supposing they would bear the convey
ance better than those of full size. They
were about twice the size of the pears grown
in this county. Ofpeaches he had the White
Clingstone. Figs the italian and the Blue.
Grapes; Flaming Toka, White Muscad, Rose
Peru. Soft Shell Almonds. Pomegranates.
Mr. Pierce owns farm of ESQ acres IS
miles west OF Sacramento, just above high
water mark. He has raised this year and
has now on hand from fifty to seventy.fiye
tons of grapes and six hundred tons of wheat
which is now at the Railway Depot awaiting
market. He has to make hasty visit, as his
business will not admit of his being absent to
exec ed about two weeks. Mr.. Pierce has
been fortunate in accumulating an abundance
of this worlds goods, and perhaps is now un.
fortunate in having too much property, re-
curing too much OF his time and attention
to take care of it. Give me neither pov.
erty nor riches, /" is sensible prayer said to
have been made leng ago, by sensible man.
In the midst of Ms. Pierce's abundance may
he and his enjoy quiet, peace and happiness.
