So the farce is over and Mcfarland
is acquitted of crime in shooting
down Richardson, deliberately and
in cold blood. These kind of cases
are becoming common-too common.
The plea Of insanity is the scape-
goat, nothing more. The fact is, the
jury, the index to the thoughts and
the wishes Of the throng, that daily

when such a case is being tried, vir-
tually say tho accused took the life
OF the deceased, and from the provo
cation was justified in doing SO. In
this case the wife, the woman about
whom this tragedy occurred, was
divorced, and in this view of the.case
it is one that is in advance OF other
prominent cases where the result has
been the same. In other words this

On RAISING HEDGE.-Having no.

have seen nothing similar. Irecom.

After having prepared the line in
tended for the hedge, elevating it
very little, set the double row. Have
the rows eight or ten inches apart,
and the plants twelve inches apart
in each row, being careful to set tho
plants of one row opposite the CEN
ter Of the space Of the other row;
thus breaking joints, and making the
plants only six inches apart in the
double row. In this manner we get
. thicker and closer hedge at the
bottom than can be made BY the sim
gle row; and there is where the great
difficulty lies in making . good
hedge, particularly if you want to
turn hogs. AS to the treatment of
this hedge, in detail, it would take
too long. Suffice to say, l would
cultivate it well, and trim to within
four or five inches of the ground the
first spring after setting; and cen.
tinue the trimming each successive
spring, cutting a little higher each
time, until you get it the height and
width you want.-Pairie Farmer.

soldiers, policemen and citizens were
killed. Belleville district was occu-

permitted to pass. The police made
several charges upon the crowds Of
people which had collected out of
curiosity. In some cases they used
their swords and slung shots, where
by many were seriously wounded,
and manly those who had nothing
to do with the disorders. The police
and rioters used firearms freely, but
the troops made no general use Of
them. Once during the night

with stones. They fred on their as

wOrkingmen were out IN greater
force than on any previous occasion.

daylight and there are no sign of

not relaxed its precautions to guard

Independent last winter, wherein it
represented it's religious rival the
Advance ofChicago. as NANCY little
cur which the bigger cur Independent
was lashing off of the face Of the

The following is the Independents

"From the day of it's birth to the

Postmasters are required by law,
to notify publishes of the refusa! or
neglect of persons to take papers
from the Office. Several times it has
been our loss in this county to have
postmasters neglect this duty for a
year, and only BY "dunning" the per-
son to whom the paper was address
ed, would we find out that some one
else had been receiving it without
pay.-Oskdloosa Herald.
In addition to the above, the law
makes the postmaster himself res
ponsible for the price Of the paper if
he fails to notify the publisher that it
is not taken out. We have suffered
on account Of the stupidity and ne
glect of certain postmasters to COM
ply with the regulations, and shall
take occasion one OF these days, to
try what virtue there is in the law,

headed and hickory teethed dealers
