Knabe & Co Baltimore, Maryland, have
attained a world wide reputation for their
musical qualities, elegant design. superio,
workmanship, durability. and capacity to
to stand all climates and changes of temper
ature. During the season just closed they
have carried off first premiums at no less
than ten State Fairs, mostly in the Southern
States, where the Knabe Pianos are extern
sively used and highly appreciated. Their
latest victory was at the Louisiana State
Fair, held in the critical and music loving
city Of New Orleans. The judges at this
Fair were men of high musical attainments
and large experience; and they unhesita-
tingly awarded first premiums to the Knabe
Grand, Square and Uprigbt Pianos, over
all competitors The yardiota of these and
other judges are fnlly sustained by the peo-
pie of every section of this country, as well
as in Europe, the West Indies and South
America, as evidenced by the large snd con-
stantly increasing demand for the Knabe
Pianos The factory, with capacity of
forty ,fue Pianos per week, is now taxed to
its UTMOST to fill the orders received for these

DAY AND NIGHT IN SWEDEN.-The pecu-
llarities of the day and night in Sweden
strike the traveller very forcibly, after being
accustomed to the temperate gone. In June
the sup goas down in Stockholm little be-
fore ten o'clock There is great illumina-
ton all night, as the, sun passes round the
earth toward the North Pole, and the refrac-
ton of its rays is such that you can see to
read at midnight without any artificial light.
There is p mountain at the head Of Bothnia
where, on the 24st of June, the sun does
not appear to 60 down at all The steam,
boat goes up from Stockholm for the pur-
pose Of conveying those who are curious to
witness the phenomenon. It occurs only
on one night The sun reaches the horizon ;
you can see the whole face Of it, and in five
minutes more it begins to rise. At the
North Cape, latitude y degrees. the sHn
does not 90 down for several weeks. In
June it would be about Is degrees above
the horizon at midnight. In the winter the
sun disappears, and is not seen for weeks
then it comes, and remains for ten or fifteen
minutes, after which 1t desceads, and finally
dees not set at all, but makes almost circle
round the heavens Il tf z

ONIONS AND Observation-Disclosures are
susceptible Of being cooked in many ways.
To the writer's notion the .glori6cation of
tomatoes is to cook them with little finely
chopped onion. Of course there are many
who do not tolerate onion under any orcum-
stances, but let those who like both oniozs
and tomatoes try it. The flavor of each,
the onion and tomatoes, seems to modify tie
other, and the result is, to our individual
notion, what James Russell Lowell describ-

PUBLICATION DAY.-Fora variety
Of reasons, appreciate more particu-
larly by publishers than by others,
Thursday is the best publication day
for weekly newspapers; and it Is
therefore the one most generally cho-
sen. But the first and chief rule Is,
TO select the day which will accom-
modate the largest number Of sub
scribers. Thursday has hitherto filled
the bill for us; but just now, as the
mails are at present arranged, it don't
quite do it. Wednesday would just
now suit the larger number Of Post
Offices in the County, but would at
the same time throw some others one
day later than now with theirpapers.
But at present the mail arrangements
are yet in transition state, end not
permanently settled down. AS soon
as everything Is definitely fixed as it
is likely TO stay for while, we will
consider the matter further, and Sc
lect such Publication Day as will
accommodate the largest Number Of
our patrons with the least delay to
others, If any other day will do 1t
it better than Thursday.

THE VALUE OF A SHowER.-ln
speaking OF the great benefit of the
shower hast week, several persons
used the remark that ''it was worth
thousands Of dollars" Let US figure
on it a little, and see, considering
Knoxville Township alone:-Judg-
ing by what Farmers have said in
Dur hearing, the rain added at least
10 bushels to the acre Of corn. Well,
in 1868, as per last census, we had
8, $40 acres of corn in this TIP. This
year we have nearly one-third more
land in corn-say % per cent. more,
and we have 10,72S acres in corn this
year; so that, at 10 bushels to the
acre, the rain added 107, 2o0 bushels
to our corn crop for 1870. Now, corn
is generally counted worth so cts. per
bushel. 1t appears therefore that, on
corn alone, the rain last week was
worth $50, $40 to this Township.
But the potatoes were benefited by
1t perhaps even more than the corn.
There is no knowing just how much
land we have in potatoes this year,
but probably not less than we had
two years ago, which was 1sS acres.
These 1873 acres then yielded 20, lS3
bushels. All will agree that the rain
last week benefited the potato crop
at least so per cent. Undoubtedly 1t
did more; but call it that, and We
have 10, 900 bushels Of potatoes gained
this year by that rain. Now, pota-
toes can fairly be counted at an av.
erage Of 40 cts. per bushel, can they
not. And this gives us "a, 036 as the
value Of the benefit of the rain on the
potato crop.
i Add this $4,036 to the amount
gained on corn, 500, $40, and we have
the nice little sum OF $57 ,GS6 as the
value Of the shower in this Township
last week. And the Railroad Tax OF
the Up. is sis,O70.

THE WOOL BUsINEss.-A gentle
man of long and practical experience
In the Wool trade was conversing
with us the other day, and gave his
views In regard to the present and
future status Of the business. "Wool
Is down fiat now" says he, "that Is,
as to amount raised. A while ago
everybody got to raising sheep,
There was almost mania for it; and
so they overdid the thing. They
always do. Then the sheep got dis
eased, and hogs went up; and now
hogs are all the go. They are over
doing that too. Byand BY hogs will
90 down again. But in two or three
years the Farmers will begin to want
clothes, and they'll look around for
something to make them OF; and
pretty soon they'll begin to raise Il
few sheep, just to raise their own
clothing; and then the Wool business
will begin to come up again."
And we are reminded that Hon. j.
Is. Grinnell--who certainly "knows
all about Sheep" fany man ont this
way tloes--expressed very similar
conclusion in our hearing not long
ago. Well, sheep can certainly be
raised here, in any number, AZ easily
as possible, whenever II vial pay to
raise them. da M ~ npf,
