Look to your Horses.

People owning horses, now that the Epi-
zootic is over, should not neglect to look af-
ter their horses and the fastcnings of their
stable doors. On Wednesday night of last
week Mr.. John Flagler's attention was attrac-
ted by the unusual believing of his cow.
Thinking, probably, that he had forgotten to
shut her in, he went out to his stable, when
ne found two providers loafng around and both
his horses harnessed up, preparatory to a
big steal. On his approach one of the
men ran away, while the other crawled up in
10 the hay NOW and, crawling under the chat,
played off drunk, with such good effect that
friend Flagler, sat up with him until morn
ing, when he invited him into breakfast. The
chap preferred going hungry, however, and
walked himself off in quick time. The de-
sign was, unmistably, to steal the horses,
which would have been accomplished, but
for the believing of the cow. The man
should have been provided with quarters at
''hotel de Troch" until the Court could have
provided more appropriate quarters for him.

they would die just as easy and certainly and

The Local Option bill is beginning to be
discussed and criticized with considerable
spirit throughout the State. Even the
friends of the law are seeing flaws in it,
which they think may react to the prejudice
of the Temperance cause. 1t is seriously
contended, that as the present excise law
was created as a revenue measure, rather
then as a preventative, to an excessive IN
diligence in liquor, the restriction, or pro-
hibition, of the granting of licenses, by the
vote of the people of district, will open the
door to the promiscuous and free sale of the
ardent in that district. 1t is argued, and
with some reason, that the repeal of the
revenue portion of the law, by the power
delegated to the people by the local option
law, aunihilates the whole excise law so far
as the district deciding against license is
concerned. The law will, doubtless, furnish
food for law suits in more ways than one.

WASHINGTON. November 26.-The Novem
Der report OF the Department Of Agriculture
makes the present corn crop short one BY
computation. Present returns point to O
product Of about S5S.0Oo,0 900 bushels. For
instance, last year there was computed as tie
product OF Illinois 2i7,000, 900 bushels this
year, 132, 900, 900. Only six States show 9
crop equal 10 last year's-viz., Virginia,
Georgia, Florida, West Virginia, Oregon,
and Rhode Island.
The percentage Of deficiency in the prins
cipai corn.srowiDG sections In comparison
With The total product Of last year is rs fol-
lows: Kentucky, per cent; Ohio, II
Indians, %; Illinois, 80; lows, IS; Mis-
souri,, 81 kansas, II. The deficiency for
New York is s per cent, and Is per cent. for
PENNSYLVANIA. In most Of the southern
States the crop Is smaller than that of last
year,
The estimate of the expected cotton crop
is 100000 bales. The season for picking
has been unusually fine, though the iavora-
bic season may he modified by bad weather
in December, which may affect the saving OF
the top crop. An increased area was planted
this year-esiimated total. nine aud half
million acres.
