Whist Il Thought Of the Surprise Oats
ste.sT ct the East. Qs

Myron F. Gowdy, Of Somerville. Conn.,,
writes as follows to the Nsse England
Homestead: =.
Three years agoa friend of mine in Chi
cago sent me direct from Mr.. @. H. Van
Olinda, the originator, q little bag con-
tanning one pint of Surprise Oats, accom-
panied by circular setting forth their
superiority over the common oats, which
was that they would yield more, ripen
earlier, and were heavier than any other
known variety. He claimed that they
would yield 1888 bushels per acre; would
weigh IS pounds per bushel, and ripen
three weeks sooner than common oats.
At first thought it all huna6ug, or that
the statement was immensely exaggerated,
but soon put aside my prejudice and
exercised my reason like a sensible man.
l here had sample of oats that knew
were vastly superior to any other that l
ever saw, but with me the question was,
can such oats be grown on our common
soil, without special effort nothing short
of fair trial would solve the ques-
ton to my satisfaction. / sowed them
upon about one square rod OF groud, Civ
ing the soil the same preparation as for
the common variety, and sowed them at
about the same time. On the 9Th OF
July, harvested One-half bushcl that
weighed twenty pounds. The next year
1868, the oat crop was very light, common
oats would weigh scarcely twenty five
pounds per bushel The Surprise Oats
weighed thirty.nine. Last year the yield
of this variety was exceedingly abun
dant, the weight forty-one pounds pei
bushel. Compared with common oats
the soil and culture being the same, they
will yield three bushels to their two, and
will weigh fully one third more, thus Civ
ing twice the number Of pounds per acre
have never sown them on land ex.
ceedingly fertile for the purpose of secur'
ing an enormous yield, to use the account
of which as an advertisement. My objec,
has been to see if they were a superior
variety for practical culture.
On soil that is capable Of producing
thirty bushels Of corn per acre with a
good handful of ashes in the hill, these
oats will yield from fifty to sixty bushels
per acre, without the aid of any manure
or fertilizer whatever. They are white
oat, exceedingly plump and large and very
early, an important consideration, as they
are less liable TO be injured by storms and
less likely to rust. In these respects
consider them greatly superior to the
Norway, which ripen about week later
than tle common oats, believe. / an
fully satisfied that the Surprise Oats are
not al a humbug, nor am l alone in this
opinion, as am supplying seed to my
neighbors at the rate Of $500 per measured
bushe, warranted to weigh forty.

! JOHN ALBANY's TROUBLES.

Ar the breakfast table that morning,
John Albany's wife, one of the dearest,
winningest little women In the world, had
said to him:
YETI"
he only left day before yesterday. Get
q letter tomorrow, maybe"
"Do you know, John, I'm almost wild
with curiosity TO see his wifeg Such an
odd notion Of theirs, to put of their we'd
ding trip for three months after they are
married"
"Wanted to make it in pleasant wealth
er, I suppose-showed their common
sense" said John.
"Any how, they'll be here II fort
night, as soon as his business is arranged; !"
and Carrie Albany's almost girlish face
beamed with delight at the thought, for
she all but idolized her "brother Joe" and
had heard wonderful stories of the beauty
of his bride.
Such had been, in part, the talk at the
breakfast table, and there had not been, in
all the city SUMMER face than that with
which John Albany had said good.by to
his dear little wife and his rosy faced baby
boy but now, haitian hour later, he sat in
his down town Office, gloweriDg at bit of
crumpled paper on the table before him,
with an expression of countenance which
might fairly be thought to include doubts
of his own sanity.
aCrumb Street Station House" he ex-
claimed. "What in = Well, ] might as
we'll 90 right there"
And so he did, with barely enough
presence of mind to put his hat on before
he started. A few minutes of almost
fiercely rapid walking, brief parley with
the officials in blue, and John Albany was
admitted to dingy and dimly-lighted cell.
"John"-
"Good heavens. You here"
"Hush! Not word. Igave my name
as Caleb Smith, and it's gone into the re-
ports that way
"But how did it happen ?"

JUSTICE HooDwrNKED.-H appears from
report elsewhere that a noted offender named
Charles Hart who was arrested last December
for attempting to steal quantity OF jewels
valued at four thousand dollars, from Broad
way jewelry store, is at large, walking the
streets, although when his case was called in
the courts his counsel stated that he was
serving term in Moyamensing Prison for
another offence, committed while he was out

MORE OPPOSITION TO THE EoUMENIoAL CoUN-
C1L.-It..is now no longer doubtful that the
opposition to the schemes Of the Council has
become serious. Our latest dispatches prove
that the fight is fairly about to begin, if,
indeed, it has not begun. The Pope insists
on bringing up decision on the infallibility
dogma. France insists that no decision
shall be come to either on infaliibility or
on the Syllabus unless special envoy be
allowed to represent her in the Council.
A later telegram informs US that Austria
and the other Catholic Powers join France
In demanding special representation in
the premises. Should such demands be
yielded to the Council will cease to be a
purely ecclesiastical assembly. Church and
State will be in conflict more fercely than
ever. Rumor has it that the Holy Father is
