RIPToN.-Thc latest thing astr in town
is a genuine (if'report is true) haunted
house to which at the witching hour of
midnight, heavy teams come up as though
driven by second Jehu, awaking the
sleepers within by the unearthly racket,
who rising from their beds in hot haste
open the doors or windows to SEQ what
the arrival is, and 10, behold no one is
visible and dead silence prevails in the To-
cality that but moment before resounded
with all the noise and discords of second
Salem. No one pretends to try to ex-
orcise the unquiet spirits as yet. Can
some of our Spiritual Prof's do it and
give the tormented household peace and
quiet ? or, failing of that, can they solve
the mystery?
Owing to the late abundant rains
farmers are a little late with their spring
work, on an average not more than two
thirds through, but are feeling that moth
ing is lost as yet, for crops put in now
will get the benefit of saturated soil and
with the warmth that is expected during
this month they will be IN condition t.
flourish.
Grass is looking well now, better thar
last season vt 90 inst. Grain is rather
yellow and thin.
Mill owners are in their glory and tn,
wheels know but little rest save and ex
cept Saturday nights and Sundays, tn,
prospects are fair for large amount o
lumber being cut this season, more thar
in any previous year.

New HAvEN.-M. Editor Il ven
ture again to tresspass upon your for.
bearance by relating what to me was a
matter of interest.
A young man by the name of Franklin
Harvey, an Antiquarian of no small
amount of patient research, and devotee
of the Unitarian school, showed me a
ball which he took from the heart Of
large maple tree which he had fallen.
The ball is Of peculiar shape. 1t was a
conical ball, apparently made up Of three
parts which were divisible. There was
no visible track of the ingress of the ball
and every thing clearly'indicated that the
ball must have been placed there in an
early day of the tree. The tree must
have seen the rising and setting of lat
least) century of suns. He showed me
also a small tortoise on the under side Of
the shell was distinctly engraven 1851
and 1857. He informed me that twenty
one years ago he found the same turtle
and marked it in the manner mentioned
above and again in 1857. He now made
another mark 1872. The turtle he said
remained in statu quo IN relation to size
having evidently reached his maturity
when first captured.
4 wish to say also that although u
naturalist he knows something about
dairy practically, as well as Horace
One year ago by the aid of an aged
mother, he made from four COWS eight
hundred and fifty pounds of butter, be-
side the milk and cream used in family

DEATH OF NATHAN WooD.-Another Of
our old citizens largely Unidentified with
the life and business of Middlebury in
past years. has been suddenly called to
to his rest. Mr.. Wood had been failing
gradually for year, but with the excep-
ton Of one or two slight attacks of sud-
den illness, he had been able to be
about and attend to his usual duties. On
Sunday morning last, he arose at very
early hour, and passed the morning in
reading After partaking of his break
fast as usual, he was taken with sudden
faintness, and died in about half an hour.

INDIANA KU KLUx Several days ago,
we made brief mention of the doingB of
gang OF lRwless men in Clark County,
Indiana, at the same time expressing
doubt as to the truth OF the reports that
reached us concerning their operations.
Other information received since con-
vlnoes us that our statements were en-
tlreIy too mild in relation to the outrages
COMMITTED In that now notorious loo Atty,
which begins to rival even the notable
North Carolina region. made famous by
the doings OF the Lowrey gang.
Ine many murders, arsons and robbo-
ries committed il Clark County during
the past threo years, are difficult to lie
accounted Tor. The County is one
among the Oldest and most wealthy, and
1s inhabited by population as intelli-
gent and refined as my other County in
Indiana, or probably in the West.
Nevertheless, gang Of villains seem to
have made their headquarters il that
County, and it is certain their opera
ttlons, both individually and in concert,
hnvo been OF character to cause great
alarm among the citizens for the safety
OF their lives and property.
Such state of affairs ought not to be
longer tolerated by the good citizens Of
Clark County. They are disgraceful
alike to tho country and State, and de-
mand immediate suppression by the
strong arm Of the law. Much is said
about the Ku KIux in tho South, but we
doubt if, in the entire South, wretchedIy
as 1t is misgoverned aud oppressed by
Radicalism, there can be found n loca-
hty that. for gross outrages against law
and the lives and property OF citizens,
can equal Clark County. Ind That this
Is true, is owing to the fact that the law
md ordor-loviug and observing portion
OF the population land 1t is equal to that
oi any other country seem to be para
lyzed by the frequency and the bold
ness OF the crimes committed, and to
lear to speak out or act boldly against
tue gang Of scoundrels who disgrace the
County by their violence and bloody
deeds. The lnw in that County seems to
silent no far rs great criminals ars con-
ceerned, while it pnrsues with ruthless
hand the unfortunate who may happen
to be guilty Of selling dram of liquor
without license. or stealing dollars
worth OF food or clothing.

NEWSPAPERS. Rs.-The Richmond Chris
tun Adrocate gets of the following inte-
resting article on the newspaper busi-
ness. Says the Adrocafe:
There are two great troubles about
newspapor-one grows out Of the effort
to make it live; the other, out of the
effort to please everybody. The first
trouble may be overcome, the second
never. Every newspaper man in the
world has an ideal, rs he calls it-pcr-
haps he means idol-nnd is always trying
to reach it, and never does, which is very
strange. Some people believe that there
IS fortune IN every newspaper in the
whole world, from Nova Zembla to Vic
torla Land. These people are very ho-
nest, very sincere and very Innocent in
this belief If they had to Try the hor-
ness on nnd work in it awhile, they
would soon sing another tune. Note
what follows. Tho Christian Standard.
Of Cincinnati, states that although its
affairs nre conducted with the strictest
economy. and its subscribers number
IL, 600, it has thus far cost $40, 600 moro
than its income. It says that the I'D.
rance, OF Chicago, with still larger sub
scription list, sunk abont S75, 600 in four
years, and had not become sef-sustnin-
ing when the late fire occurred; that the
Interior, in loss than two years, has used
up capital of nearly $50. 900; aud that
the Standard, of Chicago, with Is, 600
subscribers, was not self.sustaining.
y But all these papers lenrn
lesson, and that is. that credit is the
death OF newspapers. Hence, if you
take these papers, they will let you rcn
to the day you pay up to. and then drop
you like hot potato-thnt is, unless
you renew. Cash is their life. Go to
the New York Herald Office; that mag
nlficent establishment grew up out of a
Wall street cellar. Do you wish to take
the Herald? Down with your money.
DO you wish to advertise at dollar
line? Hand your advertisement and
your money in through That pigeon hole,

TRICKS OF GOVERNMENT DETECTIVES -
The Wheeling Nv. Va.) Register, of
Wednesday, denounces the practice of
certain Government detectives, who uso
every artlf1ce to get some unsuspecting
clt'Zen into trap, and then arrest hin
Tor the violation of law they themselves
have arranged for and counselled. The
fteg'ster gives the following cnse in point:
IL United States Internal Revenue de-
tcotive came to this city last week to put
up q job on somebody. Getting into
tho confidence of q young man who
should have known better, he usod him
as stool-pigeon. The detective OBJ
tainod an introduction to Thomas Fahey,
OF the Fifth Ward, representing himself
as merchant from Grafton, and ordered
bill OF groceries. He also required, he
said, barrel Of whiskey. In order to
accommodate his customer, Mr.. Fahey
won't to MIR. Reilly's store and purchased
the liquor merely for tho accommodation
OF bis customer, and sent it to the cx-
press Office for shipment. The liquor
was never in Mr.. Fahey's store at all,
but he added the cost of it in the bill he
had made out against his customer, not
thinking that he had committed any
wrong or had done an unlawful act.
This was just what the detective in
tended ho should do, and instead of
paying the bill, he had Mr.. Fahey ar
rested for violating the internal revenue
law. II these detectives would look
after those who wilfully and knowingly
violate the law, We should not have a
word to say; but we have nothing but
condemnation for this sneaking way Of
doing business.

a SnIrTY OLD MAS.-Old MIR. Jesse
r. Grant, father of tho President, like
his son. has evidently an eye to 'No. L."
1t has leaked out that through his infu-
enco young man named Sayers OBJ
tained route agency on ono of the Ken
tucky railroads, and that. in considera-
ton of receiving the benefit of that in
huence, Sayers has been in the habit of
paying to the old gentleman little bro
kerage, amounting to .one-third of his
monthly compensation. Unluckily, q
relative of Sayers, impressed with the
idea that the young man, ms be labored
faithfully, ought to enjoy his salary en-
tire. and not divide it with pater Grant,
so wrote to the department, supposing
1t was condition of his appointment.
This, OF course, created stir, but as
Mr.. Grant is the Presidents father, it IS
likely we shall hear no more OF the mat
ter.

LONGEVITY. VIII temperance procure

how can we philosophize on the subject?
Yet, on the point OF regularity, we NAV
