ROUGH ON SENATOR MITCHELL The San
Francisco Chronicle of late date Contains q
statement from the Pittsburg Poet Of rather t,
damaging character to Senator Mitchell, oil
Oregon. 1t is to the effect that few years
ago, in Butler county, Penasy lvssia, there lived
young man named John Hippel, who, having
read law and been admitted to the bar, formed
q partnership with Colonel John NJ Thompson
IN the practice Of the law, and the firm pros
Pered. Young Hippel married 40 estimabis
young lady, but after q time affairs changed.
He grew morose and dissatisfied. and finally
deserted bis wife and decamped, taking with
him $1,000 collected by the firm, which his
partner had to make good. The deserted wife
worked in different places, and at length was
taken ia charge BY the Overseers Of the Poor.
Hippei went West and prospered, and year
or g, ago sent back and got o divorce from his
wife. and having built up good law practice
in Oregon. the Post says that, last Winter, uu.
der. the name Of John H. Mitchell, he was
elected to the U. s. Senate from Oregon. The
Chronicle doubts the truth Of the story, and
says that since Mitchell came to the Pacific
Coast, 10 1860, chs social aud professional
reputation il without blot or blemish." We
will doubtless have tho whole story ventilated
BY the Oregon press, and # Mitchell is Hippel
the honorable gentleman will probably give bic
version Of bic antsosdents. a ! ~ aaa q.

On last Tuesday the sureties on the Official
bonds Of Nj. John German. Assessor and Tai
Collector a. Boise County, met in Idaho City
and paid over to District Attorney Foete the
amounts dne the County and Territory BY
reason OF. the defalcations of Mr.. Gorinsn'a
former Deputy, T. L. Ayres. There had
been considerable outside talk among certain
class of two.faced, sore-headed gentry, who
form little clique composed Of puritanical
psalm.singers and bogus Democrats. that Cor
mans sureties would not make good the defal-
cation ot Ayres. They were chucklins to
themselves over the seeming success OF their
well-laid plans to defeat the voice Of the peo-
pie by kicking German out of Office; and their
secret plottings to carry out their infamous
designs became matter not only of public no.
toriety. but two of the members OF the Board
of County Commissioners cbeeriully lent their
aid in furtherance Of the ring conspiracy. Mr.
German promised, a. soVp 90 the amount Of
Ayres' defalcation was made known. that he
would make it good to the county, this Spring.
as soon as money got in circulation. 1t was
almost impossible to raise the required amount
before the present time. as money has never
been known to BE- 80 scarce in Idaho as it has
been during the past three or four months.
Mr.. German has fulfilled bis promise, contrary
to the predictions Of the little clique who have
devoted their time to persecuting him. aud, We
believe, greatly to the disappointment Of the
few would be rulers Of tho county

Singular Railroad Accident.-on last


Saturday night week, on the Jefferson
Branch, between Susquehanna Depot, Pa,
and Carbondale,a "a freight train was passing
Herrick station, where the road lies
through piece of woods. The night was
dark and fearful gale was blowing. When
about in the centre OF the woods large
tree was torn from its roots by the wind and
thrown across the boiler of the locomotive.
The boiler was crushed, and the hot steam
and water escaped with fearful noise.
The engineer, Frank Thomas, his fireman,
and the flagman of the train were in the
cab. The tree broke in two when it struck
the boiler, portions falling on either side of
the track. AS the road is down grade from
Herrick to Carbondale, the locomotive
kept right on down the hill, scattering boil
ing water and steam the entire distance,
and went laundering into Carbondale,
frightening the yard men almost out of
their wits, but doing no damage.

The Coal Regions Of America /:

Their Topography, Geology, and Development,
is the title of most interesting and highly
useful book, by JAMES MAoFARLANE, A. M.

BILE quality IL possesses of telling one precisely
those facts he most desires to know. The volume

which the large colored one of the coal-regions
of Pennsylvania is especially noteworthy

Does Corn Shrink

Mr.. Editor.--A correspondent in your
paper over the signature of s. W. j., wishes
TO know If person borrowing old corn, and
returning the same quantity of new corn
has paid his debt? At least that is the sub
stance of his inquiry. In reply l would
say that several years since, placed 25
bushels of good corn which had carefully
measured as it came from the field, on the
30th of October, in loft by itself. Feb
rua-y 26th, / again measured it and had 20
bushels and nearly peck, so that the
shrinkage was about nineteen per cent. in
four months. The corn we raise in this
section of the country, will not however,
west. The following article which take
from a western paper will also be of inter-
est in this connection, quote as follows !:
"a series of experiments instituted to
test the average loss by drying, shows that
corn loses one fifth and wheat one-four-
teenth, by the process. From this data
the statement is made, that farmers will
make more by selling unshelled corn In the
fall at seventy-ive cents, than the follow
ing summer at one dollar per bushel and
that wheat at $1.32 in December is equal
to $3.50 in the June following. This esti-
mate does not take into consideration in
terest on the money loss from vermin, and
expenses and trouble Of storage"
This proves that a person borrowing, say
ten bushels Of old corn, should return near
ly 10 bushels, if taken from the field as
husked, If no wishes to make fair return.
Yours Respectfully, AaFHa.
OLD FARMER.
Westfield, Conn, Nov. 16, 1873.
