Ii is conjectured that the ArbltrAtors have
agreed upon England's responsibility for direct
losses, and that the arguments upon theamount
of damage will be in order when the Arbltrators
again meet Mr. Gushing, in summing up,

Sare that there is no comet about 10 come 1t
this direction, at ALL aud they solemuly aver,
on their Astronomical conscieuces, that the story
OF plautamour is all fudge. Professor Wlnloch
of Cambridge University, says, if there was a
= comet of any kind, near us we should see it,
here, and Furthermore, it would be observed
" by other astronomers
We are therefore forced to conclude that there
is no comet prowling around in our neighbour
hood, and the failure Of the expected collision
Of yesterday is satisfactorily accounted for Our
particular member of the solar system can roll
on in its accustomed orbit, at the usual rate Of
speed without a shock or tremor.
1t is question, at any rate, whether if a
comet, attempting to cross our track, was ran
over by our train, it would cause a percephble
jar TO the passengers. Professor Winlock is very
reessunng ON this point, also. lie testiiies for
the public comfort that all comets are com

" be compressed into space no larger than an
ordinary peach stone, and if one of them
should happen to strike the earth it would be
40 more destructive than a Jelly or sun fish

This sounds very cheerful, and Prof, Donati,
Of Italy, who has comet named after him, and
is therefore an authority on the subject, says
that If one w.re to run into our neighborhood,
i, would very probably become a satellite Of our

OUT FOR GRANT.

The New Yorker Dcmokrat, one
of the ablest and most influential
German papers in this country,
which has been for some time in
clining to Greeley, came out on
Saturday last for Grant, and in
q leading editorial it says:
"The unexpected results of the
Cincinnati Convention and the
events following in its wake, which
were fifty crowped by the nomina-
ton of one of the founders and
oldest leaders of the Republican
party by the regular Democratic
National Convention, and it's ready
and Jealous advocacy by these adj
herents of the Democracy who
have forfeited all claims to public
confidence, have utterly destroyed
all expectation and hopes of a
great national and truly RepubG-
can reform party, and now, two
months after the reform move
ment, we arc face to face with an
| entirely different state of affairs.
The Democratic party, as such,
tries hard to get control of nation
al affairs in a manner and through
an instrument, the novelty OF
which justifies the apprehension
that there are serious dangers
ahead. Under these circumstan,
ces we cannot but deem it incum-
bent upon all adherents of the
Republican party to rally firmly
and resolutely round the old party
flag; and to unite in supporting
the Presidential ticket nominated
| by the regular Republican Con
| vention at Philadelphia"

FARMING IN KANSAS. /.
A correspondent Of the Ottawa

A correspondent of the Ottawa
journal says:
81 have raised the California
variety of spring wheat about five
years, and it has never failed to
yield from fifteen TO twenty bush
els per acre, Mhen sown in Feb
ruary, When sown laser than the
tenth of March, I think it uucer-
tain. This variety is two weeks
earlier than any other I have seen.
/ have just harvested about thirty
acres of very fine wheat of this
variety, sowns about the 10th of
February, and maturing in about
four and one-half months. The
ground should be plowed in the
fall, and in the spring when thaw-
ed enough to harrow smooth, sow
but not later than the 1st day
eff March. The chinch bug has
never injured it, being mature and
ready to harvest as early as fall
wheat. Over 100 bushels of this
variety was sown in this county
last spring, and hear that it has
succeeded well.
Experience and observation has
also convinced me that September
is the month to sow fall wheat.
Some have sown in August, and
lost their crop BY worms and 9th
er insects, and have re-sown the
last of September and succeeded
well. The months of August and
September, in 1871, were so dry
that the ground could not be pre-
pared for the seed, and in conse-
quencc, wheat was sown until the
last of October or the first of
November. With an unusually
early, severe winter, with very lit
tie rain, it could not obtain suffi-
cient strength of root, to with
stand the winter, and it was gene
rally killed. Yet there are some
fields of fall wheat drilled in, that
are very fine, and would probably
please the fastidious eye of our
Herald orator.
The yield in this county, as stat
ed by those who thrash wheat, is
from Is to 20 bushels per acre
mine measured over twenty, and of
excellent quality.
When farmers ascertain the pro-
per time to cow, prepare their
ground well, and ''take no chanes,
either winter or spring, wheat will
succeed as we'll in Kansas as in any
other State. 1 think the time of
sowing has much to do with sue
cess in wheat growing.
Ny experience has also convinc-
ed me that tame grasses sown
from the first of September to the
last of January, will succeed well
but when sown as late as April
and May, it will grow well, until
about grain harvesting time, then
the hot, dry weather will cause it
to perish. Inow have about fifty
acres, all good and doing well, part
of which was sown in the fall and
part in January.
If farmers expect to succeed well
in stoek-raising, they must COM
mence seeding down ground with
tame grasses, and thus provide for
fall and winter pasture and better
hay, and raise less corn.

VINO SHOT SHERIFF JoNEs?-A
correspondent of the Lawrence
Journal furnishes the following
scrap of early Kansas history:
In 1856 bogus sheriff Jones was
shot while in Lawrence waging q
relentless war in the slave interest
and for the purpose Of making Kan
sas q slave State. The name of the
person who did this act, for whose
detection a reward of $500 was Of.
fered by our Free-State authorities,
has never been made public. Many
surmises have been made since that
time as to who fired that shot, and
but four persons, / believe, have
known who did. - f9sb
Jones had been making arrests
and drinking whiskey alternately
all day. AS evening closed in, the
people became sl,ore ami more ex-
cited, and Charley LenhaIt and one
or two others fired at Jones across
the street as he came out to the
water barrel. After Jones had Ia
ken his seat in the tent, young
man of slender build approached
the tent and fired at the shadow on
the wall. and Jones fell, slightly
wounded. The pistol was fired by
a young man By the Gane % Filler,
i from New York. Many OF The old
est settlers of Lawrence will re-
member him as unusually well
dressed, rather good looking, oil
very quiet disposition and good dc.
pertinent.
/ This act of his did as much al
any other to check the inroad OF
slavery. 1t proved to our pro-slav.
cry neighbors that there was s
point beyond which endurance
ceases to he a virtue" Mr.. Filler
will probably be present ut the ssol6
settlers" celebration this fall.
