To Tie Editor Of The Democrat
As'hanging has become very fash
iOnablO, the people Of this county seem
determined to keep it up. A Mr..
Robert Dolly, living on the east side
Of BuckhaunOn River, hung himsOlfiu
bis own hSuse, but was found by biz
wife and cut down in time to save biz
life. He was SO near dead that he was
unable to speak until the next day.
The Mr.. Humphreys that you stated
shot himself, near Buckhannou, hung
himself. 1t was in Barbour county.
His ago was fifteen and it happened
on Sunday evening, April 2Sth,
His mother saw him leave tho house,
and call his dog with him, about
shutdown in the evening. About lC
o'clock his father started in search, and
when he called the boy the dog an.
swered, aud thus he found him, hang.
ing on mulberry tree. No cause
could be assigned for tho act.
We arc having q very dry season
and there mover was, to my knowledge,
as much complaint by tho farmers o.
drowth, cutworms aud squirrels. Somt
farmers have planted their corn the
second time, and yet i! will not stand

The senatorial Convention.

II has been suggested to US, and We
think the idea Il good one, that at the
ensuing meeting Of the County Execu-
tive Committee, IAN Democrats OF
the County Of Lewis BE- appointed
Delegates to the Senatorial COnyen-
ton which meets at Phillippi on the
18th ofJuly. vi OOurse they would
be appointed without instructions,
This would save the time anG trouble
of holding County Convention for the
purpose, and, we think, would be per-
iectly satisfactory to all our people.

To dc Editor Of The Democrat:
As you sometimes call for items, l
will give you one. Iscc on my potato
vines a strange insCct-it surely is a
newcomer. What Its proper name is

it knows how TO eat potato tops. 1t
seems to hatch on tue tops Of the potato
by thousands, coming forth like lice,
and commences to deyour the leaves at
once. 1t grows until il is as large as
q p,a; has no shell on like the com.
mon bug; but can stretch itself out
half an inch long, and then draw up
until it is as round as a ball. It's head
is black, and its body is brown, or a
red orange brown. 1t is a very ugly
looking creature. wish somc ono
would tell US what II is, and how 10
manage it to the bes. advantage. 1t
may possibly be what is called the

heard Of any Of them being in this see.

dry ashes on the vines, but that did

TO The Editor Of The Democrat;
One Of tho most important Offices TO
be fillOd under the new Constitution is
that Of President Of the County Cour.
It's occupant should DO a practical bus.
mess man, honest, industrious and ac-
tive, possessed Of some legal attain.
mcnts and Of great public spirit. We
think that THOMAS A. EDWARDS, Of
Weston, possesses all Of these qualif.
cations. MIR. Edwards has been a
resident Of Weston for the past seven
years. during which time he has given
many evidences Of his fitness for the
above position. lie is q lawyer by
profession, although net at this time
engaged in its practice. He would
bring to the position fine business hab-
its, the result Of practical training.
lie would be deeply interested in the
welfare and prosperity Of tho county.
lilo is an honest, industrious and active
man. In addition 10 oil this, there Is
nowhere in tic county 4 mere jealous
Democrat, or one who in times past
has been more active in promoting the
success Of the party. We ask for him
the favorable consideration Of the
voters Of tue county.

CosT OF KEEPING Cows.-Prof. Nichols,
in his Journal OF Chemistry, gives the cost
of keeping twelve cows as follows:
'We dnd that the twelve cows consume
III twenty four hours 2l2 lbs. OF good up
land hay, GO lbs. of corn and meal, and 40
lbs. Of fne feed They drink 1870 gallons
of water, which is 10 gallons 10 each COW
The cash value. at the barn, OF the hay
consumed $3.50 the tom is S3.lS. and the
meal and feed cost o. 05. The aggregate
cost OF the food consumed each day Is
therefore t5. 23."
That is, the cost per day for each COW
is 43 7-l2, where good hay is $50 per ton.
His calculations are made al his farm at
Lakeside, Haverhill, Mass. where he comes
to the conclusion that it Is not profitable
to raise milk. pure milk, for sale, at 8 cts.,
a quart at the barn, as he shows thus:
"The total quantity of milk obtained.
averaging the products OF twelve days, is
| 96 quarts per day. The price Of milk TO
milkmen. at the barn. Is cents per quart.
which gives the aggregate value of the
products in cash $3.50. This proves that
the cash value of the food consumed by the
herd of cows exceeds the cash value Of the
products by 43 cents each day, or In other
words. the actual cost Is 43 cents day,
not estimating the expense of taking care
of ANIMALS, milking, and other expenses
| incident to a herd Of cows"
Referring to the above estimate, the MIR
ror and Fdrmer, Of Manchester, New
Hampshire. says that with hay at about
e35 per ton. it costs plump hall a dollar
day to keep Jersey COW, or any ccw o.
large size OF other breeds. We would like
to see a comparative statement Of the cost
OF subsisting dairy cows In the blue graz
| region.

no little anxiety is manifested regard
Ing the whereabouts of young Clark,

ing him, and some few entertain the
thought that foul means have been used
in disp"sins Of him, which seems plau.
siblc, considering the fact that inme-
diatcly after his disappearance Lamb
claimed the property left in the possess
sion Of Nr. Lanyworthy. It was also
known that Clark had on his person,
when leaving the saloon, between four
and Eve hundred dollars in money,
which fact he did not keep secret. The
statement Of the Norwegian who con.
yeyed the supposed Clark to Rochester
does not lift the cloud Of mystery which,
envelopes the law-loving citizens Of
Grand Meadow.
We hope diligcnt search will be
made, and whoever is in the wrong, let
them suffer the full penalty Of tho law.
