An Arkansas local soliloquises thus :
 'Some of our exchanges are publishing as a curious item statement to the effect that horse in Iowa pulled the plug out of the bunghole of a barrel for the purpose of slaking his thirst, We do not see anything extraordinary in the occurrence. Now, if. the horse had pulled the barrel out of the bunghole and slaked it's thirst with the plug, or ii the barrel had pulled the bunghole off the plug and slaked1ts thirst with the horse, or if the plug had pulled the horse out of the barrel and slaked it's thirst with the bunghole, or if the bunghole had pulled the thirst out of the horse and slaked the plug with the barrel, or if the barrel had pulled the horse out of the bunghole and plugged his thirst with slake, it might be worth while to make some fuss over it.

 Our farmers are nearly through harvest ing their tobacco, and the general opinion is; that the crop is excellent, andw hear sev- eral sales have been made at prices rang ing from 200 in the bundle to 25c ready for market, and if the prices do not fall, Kent; will receive considerable more for her 1872 crop than for any previous crop she ever produced .....The apple crop is heavy and. we hear cider making has commenced. Why is it that the work on our new depot does not go forward? Foundations laid lp June and not timber has been seen yet. 1.-The work on the Episcopal church goes forward nicely..., had few days of cold weather last week and frost that in- jured some tobacco, but it is hot as ever again now, and good rain would do no hurt.

Reported Failure 02 the Pouce olI- cy with the Indians.
 A letter from q correspondent accol Q' panying the Indian investigation commis- sioners, states that everything so far indi- cates the complete failure of the peace poli- cy towards the Indians. Even some of the Quaker agents are calling for troops. At a recent council held with the Kiowas, who are the head centres of all the troubles, they openly boasted of outraging two young girls whom they captured last spring in Texas, after killing their father and moth- 'er, but whom they returned two weeks ago in horrible condition, expecting to receive heavy pecuniary ransom, but did not re- cs,ive cent They retain little brother of the girls, and the agent refused to issue them any more rations until he is released. A this council the Kiowas demanded that the whites should release the chiefs, Satana and Big Tree, and that all whites should re- tire from the entire country between the M issouri and Rio Grande rlver. in return fer which all government stock and captives pl undered by them should be given up and pt ace maintained. This proposition was u ,jected and the council ended in smoke. ] turing the council the Kiowas held se- cret council as to the adyisability of scalp ing and killing the commissioners and Qua ker Indian agents and others, but postponed the operation. A grand council of all the tribes was arranged for the 22d September, but the Quaker agents say patched up peace will now last only till next spring.

An Indiana editor lays down his shears

An Indiana editor lays down his shears for few minutes to write doubleleaded editorial, iu which he plaintively remarks: 'We are the recipient of half peck of nice onions, two water melons and bottle of ginger beer from one of our subscribers. The gift was like the shadow of rock in weary land. We are glad some one remembered us in the midst of our labors and cares. and evinced that remembrance in so. delicate manner. We dote on onions and love melons dearly; and so long as the fragrance of the former and the gripes of the latter finger about us, we shall hold the kind doner in afcctonatc remembrance. Of ginger beer we have meyer been able to speak enthusiastically, but may say that our children enjoyed it greatly, while the empty bottle added not a littlspto the effec- tive force of our office armory. These lit tie acts inspire us to renewed exertions, but our subscription price will remain the same. ,

FagEs VjUage.-The new locomotive and
 car shops of the Housatonic Railroad Go.
 in Falls Village are rapidly assuming def- nite shape, and a very good idea can be obtained of what they are to be when con- pleted. The building to be used for repair
 ing cars is an immense structure, and will contain large amount of machinery for car building and repairing. The loco motive repair shop, although large build ing, is not nearly as large as that for build ing cars. Conveniently located near the the two structures mentioned, is the ampi- theatricslly shaped building for housing locomotives when not in use. It is built sufficiently large to accommodate twelve locomotives. The two last structures are being built of brick, that portion of the job being done by that ''brick" of a genius, I. N. Bartram, of Sharon, who is said to be able to see through larger pile of brick than any other man except Brick Pome- roy. The car building is built entirely of wood, but what is going up on the foun- dations so deeply laid in the ground be- tween these two buildings? The large force of men were so very busy at their work, and our time so short there last Friday, we concluded to deviate from our usual course and ask few questions. Where did all these men come from? Scarcely ia miliar face among them: all strangers. They act as though they knew their busi oAA Js-,, < Iarl 41,o,r can. The decision of the railroad company
