very fortunate for me that you gave the
dimensions of some of the medium sized
potatoes otherwise would have been
over run with orders by this time. AS
the potato is one of the most important
esculent that is produced, and I believe
that out of the two hundred varieties
now cultivated. there is no one superior
to the Early Rose, either in productive
ness or quality. l will give a few hints
to those who contemplate planting it
next spring. Select light, warm soil

Mr.. EDITOR: A bit of news from our
village may oe OF interest to you. We
are usually quiet and civil as people
and have little to disturb the general
peace of our village. You perhaps have
heard of the tragical affair which occur
red few days since not far from here.
Edward Higgins was in the act of be-
ing arrested by our officers for attempt
ing to kill his wife and threatening the
life of his child, when he drew revol
yer and shot himself through the head
The general excitement had subside d
and we were pursuing the usual tenor OF
cur, way when, on a sudden, our village
was again disturbed by the appearance
of a squad of officers on Tuesday last.
After considerable demonstration the
village surrendered and Sheriff Thomp-
son-I believe that was his name-ac-
companied by remarkably full faced,
portly physician from your place. for
get his name-and DR.. Mcpherson of
Fairview, calling to their aid DR.. Hall of

urrecting and examining the body of
said Higgins.
The sexton manifested some DISPOSE
ton to keep himself out ofsight, lest he
m ght get into trouble, but was quickly
brought to by the Sheriff's promptness.
After considerable blowing of the trum-
pet, the dead came forth and suffered a
thorough examination, but the sought
for bullet failed to make its appearance.
After the re-burial of the body the officers
feeling satisfied that the cause of death
was as reported took their departure.

Above, are some of the statistics o.
our school. The percent of attendance
is based, as can be readily seen, on the
average weekly attendance. This plan
considers pupil who does not answer
roll call for a whole week as withdrawn
until he returns. The attendance and
punctua ity are creditable I f. ink, for il
requires care to prevent the cases of tar
diness out of half hundred pupils from
amounting to at least one day. Many
pupils are never tardy. Some are chron-
icaIly SO and bring down the standing
in this item of the whole room. For
instance, in the Grammar School-"No.
4'-one girl six, another. four and an
other three of that ugly list of thirty
two tardy marks. ! think I may give
the names of such "behindhanders" to
the public, if the ma:teri is not remedied.
Since the month began, on the roll OF
Primary Room, the sad entry-"dead"-
has had to be made opposite the names
of two little scholars. But while they
no longer appear here, it is comfort to
believe they have been recorded on the
books of the Great Teacher in the
School above.

Daring Robbery OF an Express Car ON
ths Central Pacific Railroad--Forty-
one Thousand Dollars taken.
RENO, November 5.
The Central Pacific passenger train
bound east, and due here at A. NJ, al
rived at Verdi, small station eleven,
miles east of Reno, on time. just as the
train was starting from the station three
masked men boarded the express car,
and five more Immediately came t.
their aid from the rear car. These i've
were evidently on the train. Six stop
ped on the express car, which they de-
tached from the main trai1, cutting the
signal rope, and two jumped on the en-
CINE, placing pistols to the engineers
head, and commanding him to move on
which he did. Two brakesmen endeav-
ored to keep the masked men off the ex-
press car, but pistols were placed at their
heads, and they were compelled to re-
treat. The conductor rusned forward,
but a pistol stopped him. Finding q
hatchet, he came forward again in time
to see the engine and express car sepa-
rated from the train and flying down the
track. The robbers then placed the
firemen, and mail messengers in the
mail room and locked them up. When
within six miles of this city they stop
ped the train, broke open the express
boxes, and robbed them of forty-one
thousand six hundred dollars in gold
coin. Later Investigations show that
they put the DIN in old boot tops and
escaped to e. mountains A double
barrel shot gun and pick were left by
the robbers st the quarry where they
opened the boxes. All the telegraph
wires were cut west of Reno. Two of
the Western Union wires. however, were
repaired by daylight, and business is
not interrupted. Parties are searching
the mountains, and will probably be
able to throw more light on this bold
robbery. During the day the railroad
wires were still down.

q clover soil is very good--plant as early
as the ground can be got in order. cover
the seed not more than three inches
deep. Do not cever them with plow;
do not use To much seed-two pieces with
two ryes il each will do for each hill.
As SON as they are one inch high they
must be worked. Stir the ground with a
hoe when they are three inches high.
Work them with cultivator when the
buds for blossom are ready TO burst.
Plow them well and hill them high
this last is very necessary as the tubers
grow near the surface of the ground, and
close to the stalk. as the potatoes are
very large and tops short. they will get
burnt with the sun. A resident of Vir-
ginis once Informed me that it was a
good plan to let the weeds grow with
the potatoes to protect them from the
sun. A number of farmers tried that
this year and are satisfied that the weeds
do well but the Early Rosa will not
bloom with such treatment. s. b.

Examination OF the High School


On Thursday and Friday of last week
the High School was tested by an ex'
animation in which the questions and
answers were written. This mode leaves
the pupil to his own resources and re-
quires more exact knowledge than oral
examinations. Consequently the grades
of standing are not so high.
The school contains three divisions ol
grades, tho in few cases, pupils of one
grade are in one study of another grade
When pupils begin school ;rregularly
advanced in their studies, it is not prac'
ticable to divide the grades with q
straight-edge.
In judging of the comparative stand
ing of pupils; each should be compared
with others of the same grade as the
branches of study, in the main, are diff
ferent.
No. 100 would indicate every question
answered.

As 200: Harrison county, 1855.
Since the above was put in type the
official census returns of Ohio have been
received, showing the total population
of the State to be 2.6a2. .3o2, a gain In
ten years of si2.7sl. The returns shows
that the increase in the population has
principally been in the cities and towns
and the decrease has been in purely ag'
ricultu. al districts. Seventy coun1ies
show gains and eighteen losses during
the past ten years. The loss In duern'

A DESPERATE LOVER.

Another Phase Of Inssnity-A Romantic Story.
About o'clock on Saturday afternoon, Will
liam Bottommus aged twenty-five years, was
found drowned In the wheel-race of Wander
veers mill, New Lofts L. /. He had been pay
ing his addresses for some time to Louisa
Diedrich, respectable young woman of East
New York, where both resided, and the marriage
ceremony was to have taken place on Tuesday
next. Louisa has younger sister named
Matilda, and the two were always seen together
in company with the deceased.
1t seems that on last Monday evening he came
to an understanding with the parents of the
young ladies to marry Louisa, the older of the
two. The younger sister, Matilda, it appears,
had a very strong attachment for him. and sup
posed that he loved her the best. One evening
last week Matilda confessed her love, and said,
II cannot live without you, William" "Well, I"
said he, II have engaged to marry your sister,
and what can do?" Afterward he suggested
that they should both go and kill themselves.
She replied by saying, "Oh, nonsense"
1t was noticed that ever since then he ap-
peared low spirited. Mr.. Burgess, by whom he
was employed as florist states that he was one
of the best young men on Long Island, and that
had been in his employ ever since he was
twelve years of age, and not better florist
could be found on Long Island Yesterday
afternoon Coroner Jones held an inquest on
the body, when it appeared from evidence that
after deceased left his work he went to the
house. where he resided and spent some time in
his room afterward he was seen going towards
the mill. When found his legs were tied with a
rope-reef-knotted-a knot which he had been
were also loosely fastened with rope and were
tightly clasped. The jury returned verdict
that the deceased committed suicide while In q
state of insanity.
