4 FrlghtIul Death.

! Edward Clontier, Il young varnisher
Of Detroit met with u horrible death.
The young man has hod great passion
for gymnastics expecting TO attach him
self to Il circns as soon MS he became
proficient. While working around the
building le has rsed oil his spare mo.
ments in swinging from beams, turning
handspring, and performing other ieats
calling for sSppleness and activity. He
was seen clinging TO the main shaft of
The two hundred horse power engine n
few days ago, and was warned 10y his
employer never TO attempt the feat again.
This shaft runs along within thirty in.
ehes of the floor, aud makes about one
hundred and fifty revolutions per minute
!u the morning, yesterday, after finish
ing up table, Ciontier went to the
north end OF the building, and prepared
himself to perform some feat which he
had studied up. Taking the tackle rope
which i. used TO hoist articles from the
alley below, he passed the free end over
the shaft. This much was ascertained
after his death, but his further proceed
ings will never be known. A hoy was
working forty feet away, and was first
alarmed by hearing Cloutier call out,
"Stop the engine-quickw Running
around, the boy saw that he was caught
in the folds OF the rope and wound over
,he shaft. Tho boy ran, MS did Others,
but it was two or three minutes before
the engine could oe stepped. and then

the ro,o ashod him close to the shaft
tle young man had to turn with it. One
of his arms was caught around the shaft
so that il drew his face and shoulder
close down, but left his limbs fr to
pound on the floor. The noise of his
feet striking the boards was heard half
a block away above the hum of the ma
chinery His boot heels tore strip of
one Of the boards and were then flung
from his feet clear across tie room. His
hat went the other way, and his pants
were stripped of and thrown fifteen feet
away. After the boots flew off the
young mans bare feet whipped the floor
300 or 400 times. Tho feet were smashed
mp to the ankles so that they spread out
like brooms, and looked like pieces Of
bloody beef. The bones of the ankles
struck the floor until dents half an in h
deep were made in the boards. After
the engine stopped, Cloutier had to he
cut loose from the shaft. He gave
gasp rs they released him, but died rs
they laid him doHu. One Of his arms
was broken half dozen times, aud in
deed There was hardly whole bone in his
body. His legs were mere pulps. his
breast crpshed in, his ribs brohen, fnR.
ers broken. back and neck broken, aud
o worse sight never was seen. The floor
was covered with blood and flesh, and
the strongest men shudlered as they
looked. Coroner Grau was called, and
a jury was impanelled, and a verdict
rendered on the spot. The verdict was
to the effect, that the deceased cane to

NO. 246..
ORGANIZE FARMERS CLUBS.

The season has come when the labor.
of the field are over, and agricultural
meetings will be held by the farmers to
compare notes and speak OF the success
and failures of the year. Among the most
encouraging signs Of the times is the
VIDE spread spirit of inquiry that pervades
the farming community. The extent that
agricultural papers are taken, the atten.
dance at agricultural conventions and
farmers clubs, gives an abundant evil
aence OF an increased desire for informa-
tlon IN the farming community. A farm.
efs club should be organized in every
town. Township clubs can be formed on
the simplest plan, with regular meetings
through the fall and winter, where the
! entire farming community can gather to
express their views, each in his own way,
and to draw out new thoughts on new sub
.lects. 1t is also an educational institution
The farmer learns to express his views
with clearness and precision, and has an
opportunity to ask from his fellow farm
ers for information upon any point that il
in any way connected with subjects that
are brought before the club for discussion.
These club meetings give US the expe-
rlence which is the most practical instruc-
tor One farmer comes to the club meet
ing to tell his mode of raising corn or to-
bacco-first upon what kind Of soil, when,
and how many times it was ploughed,
what kind of fertilizers were used; il
composted, how was it DONE Another
tells about cutting and curing hay, wheth-
er best cut early or late; what kind of top
dressing used, how and when to apply il.
Another. who Is in the dairy business,
gives his experience in feeding milch
cows, making and marketing butter. An
other, the use of agricultural implements.
etc. These practical statements Of the
experiences of some of the best farmers
in the country are of more value than all
that has been written In books.
Professor Stockbridge of the State Ag-
ricultural College in his remarks at the
late meeting of the Franklin Harvest
Club, said it was to develop and condense
what the farmers already know. and if the
faculty of this institution had at their COM
mand all the farmers knew about farming.
and if their knowledge could be put into
intelligible and available expression. it
would add greatly to the benefit of their
| instruction.
This knowledge must be brought out in
| some way, and in no way better than by
the farmers club or farmers experience
meetings" We hope to see thus early in
the season a movement among farmers to
form clubs, where none exist, in order TO
draw out more thought and stimulate eve.
ry farmer to greater actiun.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.-The New
York papers comment upon the Fisk
murder. The Herald says thecowardli-
ness of the act has reaped its first fruits
in the public mind by awakening for
Fisk wide-felt sympathy. 1t has moth
ing to distinguish it from murder, for
which death on the gallows is the penal
ty.
The Times pronounces the murderous
deed brutal and cowardly and says it will
attract toward Fisk an amount of public
sympathy to which no part of his career
has entitled him.
The World says that in the act may
be seen, in its most accurate type, the
spirit Of those marital murders which
disgrace our pretensions to civilization !;
and whatever miserable results this
wretched business may have, it will have
one benifcent result if it enables men
who cannot see that murder is murder
when perpetrated under the specious
plea of unfolding the sanctity of mar
riage, to appreciate the same crime when
porpetrated with view of consecrating
concubinage.

The sensation of the week, has OF
course been the assassination of James
Fisk, Jr., 10 New York. Without re-
gard to Fisk's standing or notoriety, ii
was deliberate murder, and the assas-
sin ought to be punished, Of which there
is little hope, unless New York justice is
more improved than is generally sup
posed. Already the Mcfarland case is
cited as precedent, and Stokes coolly
announces to his visitors that it is great
injustice TO call him " murderer" He
had DO intentian of doing Fisk any
harm, but was instantaneously "insane."
This man Stokes, has a wife who refused
sometime since to live with him and no
doubt for good cause, and now the per-
nicious doctrine of temporary insani-
ty," which has so much crept into the
courts for the last few years, especially
in cases of social corruption. is now
again to do service for another assassin.

A BALTIMORE MYsTERY.-Dr. Merri-
am Cole, a retired physician 70 years of
age, was found brutally murdered in his
Office at No. So North Exeter street, Bal
timore, about 8 o'clock on Saturday ev-
ening. He was found by his daughter
lying dead on the floor with - wounds
about his head and face His skull was
crushed in three different places, appar-
emily with a hammer One pocket of
his pants was torn out and portion left
hanging on the outside. About SO we're
found scattered over the floor and s24 in
his coat pocket. On the table was an
unfinished receipt, which DR.. Cole was
doubtless writing when he was struck
down. He was in the habit Of collecting
rents every Saturday. The locality of
the murder is in the very heart Of the
city, it being about two blocks north Of
Baltimore street. Intense excitement
prevails. Several arrests Of the suppos.
ed murderers were made on Sunday. but
the names of the arrested parties are un-
known.

We regret to see the New York
Tribune throwing cold water upon the
republicans of New Hampshire, and
charging their late State convention with
devoting "itself in great degree to
president-making and national affairs"
and all because in few lines that con
vention declared itself in favor Of the
reelection of Gen. Grant. The Tribune
has had the reputation Of being tolerant
of opinions different from its own, but
its present position seems to be a tolera-
ton of all opinions on this subject ex-
cept those in favor of Grant. The Trib-
une is constantly giving expression to
opinions on this subject Have not the
republicans Of New Hampshire an equal
right? The chief editor of the Tribune
has been himself writing various presi-
dental letters during the past few months
and is now publishing them in the Trib-
une. Are other republicans who favor
Gen. Grant to be debarred the same priv
ilege? The republicans will assemble in
due time in national convention, precise
ly as they have since 1856, and there de-
eide upon their candidate. Does the
Tribune propose to support that candi-
date? We trust and expect that con-
vention will give us good nomination.
Indeed, with the large amount of good
timber on hand, it can hardly give US a
bad one, and if that nomination should
happen to be Gen. Grant, expect to sup
port him. Does the Tribune?

Stokes LINE OF DEFENcE.-Iti is re-
ported that the line of defence to be
adopted by Stokes, in his trial for the
murder of Colonel Fisk, has already been
decided upon. His counsel, Messrs.
Graham and McKeon, have had long
and frequent consultations with him,
and the former has laid out plan for
the campaign, which is characterized by
even more than bis usual legal cunning
and brilliant audacity. In the first place,
he will endeavor to prove that Stokes for
a long time prior to the murder believed
his life TO be in danger from one or more
of Col. Fisk's adherents. By this line
of argument they will justify the carry
ing of the revolver, which they will try
to show Stokes has owned for more than
six months. The next step will be to
prove that Stokes is monomaniac on
the subject of his troubles with Col. Fisk.
This will involve a repetition of that por-
ton of the Mcfarland trial in which
the medical experts were so prominent,
1t will also give Mr.. Graham chance to
stave off the trial from time to time, on
the plea that he has more witnesses to
summon, or testimony to take at dis
lance in commission. No pleader in the
world understands the value of time bet
ter than Mr.. Graham. He knows that
time will somewhat assuage the present
excited tone of public opinion. His tao.
tics will look mainly to a postponement
of the case until the great Fisk.Stokes
tragedy shall have become thing of the
past.
The plea ofselfdefence is also to be SET
up, it is said, and an endeavor will be
made to prove that Col. Fisk attacked
Stokes on the stairway, as the latter was
descending from the ladies' parlor.

The One Term Theory.

It is noticeable fact that very little
has been said by politicians on the sub
jeet of the one term plan for the Presi'
dency, until just now, on the eve of the
approaching campaign. When Gen,
Grant was a candidate for that office, al
most nobody stopped to consider whether
he could be a candidate for second
term. The chief question then was
ubetber the candidate for nomination
and election was the sustable man for
the office. And why should the question
of prohibiting second nomination and
election be raised, just at the crisis of af-
fairs? That its bearing upon the next
election is unfavorable to the reelection
of President Grant is manifest. Unfor-
tunately for its success, at present, it pro-
ceeds from source that is understood
to have no special attachment to Presi-
dent Grant or his administration. Con-
fessedly, some of the most distinguished
statesman have heretofore pronounced in
favor of the one term theory, for the
Presidency, but it is equally unquestion-
ed that very little has been said against
the reelection of Senators, Representa-
t;ves and other national State officers.
Moreover it will be difficult to show that
many, if not most of the objections to the
reelection of President do not lie with
equal force against the reelection of 9TH
er officers. Indeed is the country ready
to set up the principle that one election
TO an Office incapacitates man for re-
election to the same? PROFESSIONALLY,
there are many men who would be very
glad to have their hopes Of Office increas-
ed by prohibition of reflections, but the
benefit to the country of their success
would be likely to be in6nitesimal. For
we may say, let us have the
best man, even if he has had some expe-
rience in the office of President. = JFiud-
