After sojourn Of more than a month,
the Rev. Leonidss Rosaer, Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, LETT this town on
Monday for his home near Richmond.
During his stay here he preached every
night in the week except Saturday nights,

nestness and zeal worthy the highest type
of Christian minister; and as an evidence
of the faithfulness and effectiveness of his
work, had the pleasure of witnessing the
conversion OF more than fifty souls, and OF
seeing their names enrolled upon the
church register.-LeeSburg Mirror.

THE WEATHER-CRors,-The weather
has been quite variable since our last, al
ternating between frosty chiliness and
mild Indian summer. We were visited
with heavy fall of rain on Wednesday and
by considerable frost on Thursday night.
The tobacco crop having been almost en-
tirelv secured, but little damage was sus.
tanned from the frost. On Saturday the
weather moderated, and has continued
very mild since then. The farmers are now
busy curing tobacco. preparing 1t lor the
market, and seeding wheat.
1t is thought that only a small crop OF
wheat will be seeded in our section. A few
farmers have already finished sowing

About lleet Sugar.

An article in New York paper give,
some of the results Of company engaged
in the manufacture Of beet sugar in Hi
nois, on n large scale. The Compan,
own 2,400 acres of land, which the,
planted last year as follows 800 acres in
bcets, l,2O0 acres in corn, 700 acres in
wheat. oats. and rye, $50 acres in meadow
grass aud beans, and so acres occupied
by the buildings and roads In this way
the rotation of crops was kept up, rs nc
manure is needed on these rich prairie
lands, nor can it he used on them at
present, either directly or by the soiling
of cattle, on account of their chemical
constitution
The Company got last year, 8 tons OF
beets TO the acre, equal to n TO 8 tons
with the tips of, ready to wash and
rasp. The beets weighed from |. to 3
lbs. each, and produced Juice which
produced 10s per cent. of sugar. The
cost of raising an acre of beets will vary
from S25 to $40, as You have the facilities
for cnltivating on proper soil, by the use
of improved machinery. The beets may
be grown and delivered at the factory,
the distance being not over one-half u
mile, for $3.50 to S3 per ton.

A Wonderful Clock.

Mr.. r. d. Munson, an old resident
of Williston, Vt, has Just completed a
wonderful musical calendar clock, which
has attracted visitors from far and near.
1t is in every detail his handiwork, the
old farmer having spent his spare hours
in working upon it, for the past eight
years He has produced an eight-day
clock, whose dial marks the second,
minute, hour, day of the week, day of
the month, month and year thermo-
meter rests against its pendulum, giving
the state of temperature the ball of the
pendulum contains miniature time
piece, which derives its motive power
solely from its vibrations, and keeps ac-
curate time. There is also cylinder
musical attachment, which may be set
to play any one of seven tunes at the end
of each hour. In this last feature it can
be so adjusted-and such was the inten-
ton of the maker---as to play "Old
Hundred" at the end of each hour on
Sunday, and "Old Folks at Home"
"Swiss Waltz" "Star Spangled Ban
ner," Hail Columbia" Yankee
Doodle" and "Sweet Home" respec
lively on each successive day of the week.
The entire mechanism is placed in a
black walnut case, which measures ten
feet high, twenty inches wide and ten
inches deep. The case is highly polish
ed, and its front bears the inscription
in raised letters, "Our Union forever"
"U. S." Mr.. Munson, who is sixty
two years old and quite feeble, feels
proud of what he has accomplished.

A Horrible Incident.

"A woman was arrested in the Rue
Roquette, Paris, accused of arson, and
led off to execution ; her child, little
girl of three or four, followed, clinging
to her mothers petticoats. No sooner
had the unfortunate woman been taken
into courtroom window look
ing on to which my informant saw what
followed-than she was placed against a
wall and shot. The child, which had
been dragged away from its mother
when the latter was led out to be shot,
fed screaming with fright, at the report
of the muskets. An officer thereupon
drew his revolver and shot the child
through the back as it ran, killing it in
stantly. This sounds almost incredible,
but after what have heard / do not
doubt that it is true. A staff officer,
who in ordinary times is one of the
kindest-hearted men l have ever met,
told me day or two ago that some hours
after the regular army had got possession
of the Chateau de la Muette, mysteri-
Gus rapping was heard in a cupboard.
Search was made, and two unfortunate
National Guards were dragged forth.
They had been locked up by Dombrow-
skis order, for having got drunk on
duty-a very common crime under the
Commune. And what did you do to
them ? 1 asked. Do to them ? was
the answer ; why, shot them of course"

The llA,hlMl Lover.

All, well John came tonight, and stood
For full an hour beside the bars;
And we two watched, between the trees,
The glimmer of the moon and stars
John acted very strange, ] think
wish knew the reason why;
really thought he meant to say
Something tonight besides good-by.
Johns coming here quite often now;
I'm sure don't know why he should
Although my sister Jenny rays
It's talked about the ncighborhood
That ne is making love to me
The strangest thing ever heard;
For il It's true, how queer it in
That John has never said word.
Al woll shouldn't care 80 much
lfJuhn himself had told me so;
For then he might have said 1t all
Upon his own account. You know,
But he's no bashful believe
He'd never dare to speak out plain;
hope he'll muster courage up,
And try it, when he comes again.
It cannot be- that I'm TO blame
I'm sure I've helped him all ! could
I've always met him at the bars,
Aud talked as any woman wonld
That had lover whom she liked,
And waited, with her heart aglow,
For him to break the subject first,
And then how quick sh, d let him know
But John he keeps coming still,
Just AS he has for tive I've months past
I've thought sometimes il looked az though
I'd have to speak myself at last.
I'm found that he shall know the truth,
And now, resolved, | cannot wait
For him to find II out himself;
And 30, next time. IN try my fate.

A Business Proposition.

Aand Il enter into business ; A invests
$4,000, b $4,000. They remain in
partnership about ten years without tax
ing an inventory, and not knowing
whether they gained or lost any money
which | admit is a careless way of
doing business but always having
enough cash on hand = their bills
rs they We're presented, they were not
anxious about anything else. 1.-THE end
of that time, A finds he has drawn out at
different times sums amounting IN all to
$l3, 000 b. in the same manner, has
drawn out $1,000 And on taking an
account of stock they find their present
worth, after deducting all debts, to be
S35, COO What is each ones present
worth 2"
Answer-As A put in two-ffths of the
capital and put in three-ifths, and the
S25, 600 of capital were converted into
Sl3, 600, $4,000, S25, 900, in all S64, ,0G0,
the division becomes easy. Two fifths of
S64, 900 are S25, 900 for As share, out of
which he has had Sl3, 600, leaving his
share worth $4,000. Three-ffths of
S64, 600 are S3S, 900 for BIS share, out of
which he has drawn $4,000, leaving his
share worth S22, 400.

STURGEON AT HoME.-At the London
Crystal Palace Spurgeon once preached
to 10000 people, and his exertions were
SO tremendous that his wife, who sat
near the pulpit, had to be removed, she
was so overcome. At the end of the
service the Doxology was sung, but not
with enough volume to suit the preach
er, and he said promptly: "No, no !;
that will not do. Not half of you sung
then. Let us have the words again,
and let every one join. MIR. Organist,
please play the verse once more" The
organ was at the extreme end and scarcely
in sight. The organist looked like a
black dot. But he heard the little stout
man in the pulpit, and turning round
to the keys, sent forth glorious volume
of music. And the people had heard as
well The 5000 singers became 10000.

particularly anxious to save from falling
into the hands of the Prussians; but. as
he was well aware of their peculiar
adroitness in ransacking cellars and dis
covering hidden treasures, he hit upon
the following expedient. Having had oc-
clsion to notice the pious respect
invariably paid by the German soldiery
to the graves of their fallen comrades,
be buried his three casks of wine by
night in a neighborng field to initiate
a grave, and the next day erected on the
spot large black wooden cross, on
which was painted in white letters the
inscription" Here lie three comrades, 3"
