HitchcOcks Analysis of the Bible.

Mr.. Barker the agent for this, the
grandest work brought before our peo-
pie for years, is in our city, and will
remain next week canvassing for it,
The work is complete analysis, arrang-
ing the thought of the bible under top
zeal heads in so lucid manner as to
enable one to find any verse in either
the old or new testament in brief per-
iod of time, and without labor, other
than turning to a classified list of head
ings- All the passages in either book
referring to any given subject are
brought under one given head so as to
read as one chapter, and so through
the whole work, taking up separately
and distinctly every subject treated of
in the whole of the sacred volume
Every uerse in the bible is given in the
analysis with correctness, so the work
also serves as bible l. is illustrated
with several steel and wood engravings,
and is bound in Turkey morocco. We
consider it the grandest work-there is
none other like it--ever published rel
ative to bible record and it is commend
/ ing itself to hosts of students and pro-
tessors throughout the world. No
student of the scriptures can afford to
be without, it and will not be If once they
become satisfied of its merits. Mr..
Barker Sold thirty copies at Necedah,
and will sell at least fifty here. We no.
tlce that Mr. B. already has a list of
apprehend it will be largely increased
by the close of next week.

Human nature IS human nat

Human nature IS human nature
any way you can disguise it. One
morning last week, in coming down to
our "scratchimg," we met a little dilap-
dated urchin with a package of letters
in the post Office, and big toe shelter
ed by piece of dirty muslin, trundling
a wheelbarrow laden with old oyster
cans and much other valuables. Here,
thought We, is chance to dig down
into human nature, so we di.ged. Said
we with considerable emphasis, we
were after his human nature you know,
Stub, nor uhen you get through Nth
our barron, bring itriyhthom else you
can't borro,o 1t again. Dye hear ?
We were satisfied he did hear, for he
got up on his dignity and discounting
our earnestness came back at US WITH
"ta.mt your wheelborror, you great
big, lo"g-uhishered, toothless, bankrupt
editor guess I hnow aohose horror
It's" We knew it wasn't our "borrer"
but we were after his human nature you
know, so we pretended to be mad, and
made an advance movement; then we
thought we'd be gentle, SO we said,
"come now bub, there's nothing 5etueen
you and me-" "Yes there is, this bor-
ror's betareen us, and you'd better git"
and then we saw hail storm of oyster
cans, and we thought for moment we
were in the tin business. It is needless
to state that we retreated in good Or
der leaving the field to the young Mo-
doc We found his human nature. It
didn't differ much from ours.

Leayitt'S Swiss Bell Ringers

LciN III tONlSS Duh hIIIStl S.-
Next Tuesday our people will have the
pleasure of listening to one ofthe finest
con certs ever given in our city, if we are
to Judge from the praises of their perfor-
manccs given elsewhere, by the press.
They are recommended as equal to the
Peak Family in every particular and as
vocalists they number some of the fin
est voices now concertizing. We are
sure our people will give them cordi-
al greeting. We append extracts from
Fox Lake and Monroe papers.
The BELL RINGERS. -Leavitt's
Combination Concert Troupe gave a
musical entertainment at Odd Fellow
Hall, in this village, on Tuesday eve
ming last, to large and we'll pleased
audience We had designed some
what detailed mention of the many ex-
cellencies of their performances but
are unable to make it in this number.
We have only space to say that while
their bell ringing fully equaled the Peak
Family, their Orchestral and Cornet
Band music far surpassed anything of
the kind we ever heard in Fox Lake.
Their stage department was most excel
lent and the concert pleased everybody.
EXCELLENT TRoUPE.-Leayitt's
Swiss Bell Ringers gave one Of their
unique and popular entertainments in
Concert Hall, last Monday evening.
This troupe is first class, and all who
heard them felt we'll repaid. Their
concert is both vocal and instrumental,
the music was choice, and varied from
serious to comic dull must be the soul
who could not be heartily pleased with
some one of the beautiful songs or per-
formances.

Sad CaSua!ty.-On Wednesday o

Sad Casua!ty.-On Wednesday of
last week little son Of Mr. Thomas
Burns, residing at the Eddy, received
a severe wound from little wooden toy
knife which his brother had made him,
resulting in his death on Thursday fol-
lowing. A few months ago the older
brother was taken with severe hcmor-
rha@e of the nose and came very near
bleeding to death, which has necessita-
ted his remaining indoors, and preven-
ted active exercise. On Wednesday
he carved toy knife for the little one,
who, in running across the floor fell, the
point entering his left nostril, and it is
thought injuring the brain, as the lit
tie fellow seemed in degree dormant
till death came to his relief on the fol-
lowing day He threw his head back
and expired without any perceptible
pain Taking all the facts in connec-
ton with the sad case and there is a
strange blending of circumstances.
The family are surely afflicted most
sorcly, and the whole community suffer
with them in their bereavement.

VapOr Raths--Mr. Henry Jessey

| SApOT DdJnS.--Mr. henry Jessey
formerly Of our city, is canvassing on,
county for new and most excellen,
invention for the administering of va
por baths, the hygienic properties OF
which are acknowledged by all the sci
entifc and medical men Of the country.
Mr.. Jessey has model with him which
can be examined by those wishing to
investigate, or DESTROYS of purchasing.
1t has long been the opinion of some
Of the most learned men in the school
of medicine that the administrations re-
medal agents (by evaporation) ,
through the pores ofthe skin by absorp-
ton, is the true and most natural way
to reach the seat Of all chronic, outan-
eous disease. This is the theory invol-
we'd in the new discovery for which Mr..
Jessey is canvassing our county, and
tor which he holds state right. We
have not room to give even a synopsis
of the many advantages offered by this
new plan, but to give only brief de-
scription Of the s'box" as it is termed,
comprising the bath. Suffice it to say
that it is a box about two feet
wide and about four high, and three
long, opening by door suitable for
the admission Of the patient who is pro-
vided with a comfortable seat. The
door closes about the neck of the pa
tient, leaving the head free from the
heat engendered by an alcohol lamp
over which is placed vessel containing
the medicine to be administeres-in the
in the form Of powder, -and over
which is still another vessel or reser-
voir for water or such other liquid as
may be required. We have given, we
are aware very imperfect description
of the bath and would advise those
interested to examine the model and
consult with Mr.. Jessey who will give
all required information cheerfully.
For all chronic diseases and skin
disorders the vapor bath is a grand
thing, to say nothing of its worth as
means to cleanliness. 1t is a luxury.
For all classes of rheumatism it IS
counted specific. Mr. Jessey is pre-
pared to sell family rights, or rights to
counties We think he must meet with
very great success

Seed Corn.

Those farmers who desire to improve
their seed corn must remember that
the work of selecting it must COM
mence now.
There are two chief requisites in a
good corn, viz: early maturity and
prolifcness. We feel that there is too
little attention paid to this matter BY
farmers generally. By neglect and in
dolence t. Jy will let the season for Sc
lecting seed pass by; and next spring,
when they get ready to plant, they wifi
pay some more enterprising neighbor
two or three times the commercial
value, to get some good seed corn.
1t is law of nature that like pro-
duces like, under like circumstances.
If We want to improve the earliness of
our corn crop, we must select our seed
from those stalks that first mature.
As rule, those ears mature first that
shoot" first. Go through your field
and mark with piece of red flannel,
or other device, one hundred of those
stalks that shoot first. Later, 60
through again, and mark all of that
nuuuEtu IHdI SuOWS Il lcuueuCy lO per
feet two good ears.-When ripe, select
all perfect, well formed, deep grained
ears from this marking, and tie them
up for seed. .t
Plant these by themselves nexty year,
and from this planting make another
selection lii a similar manner, using
more care to save seed from the two
cared stalks; also keeping in mind the
early maturity.
The third years planting will deyel-
op a seed, if proper care has been used,
that will show two good ears to the
stalk, in seven-tenths of the plant
ing.
1t is in this way that the yield of
our great cereal can be increased to
eighty, ninety, or one hundred bushels
per acre; and the man that first per-
fleets these valuable qualities can make
a snug little fortune in raising corn for
seed alone. We hope some of our
young and enterprising farmers will
take hold of this matter. Don't let
the season pass without making an eff
fort in this direction.

TOBACCO.
Decline In the Production.

For some cause the culture and pro-
duction of tobacco has much decreas-
ed in this country within the past ten
years. In some of the Southern States
this crop has been almost wholly aban
doned, while in but few the yield of
tobacco in 1870 was half what it was
in 1860. Even Kentucky produced
three million pounds less in the first
year mentioned than in the last. The
falling off in Virginia was even more
marked, the crop for 1870 being eighty
six million pounds less than that rails
ed in 1860. The Middle and Western
States also show a marked decrease,
although not so much as the Southern
States. Indiana and Pennsylvania,
however, show an increase-the form
err of sixteen per cent; the latter of
ten. But the greatest increase in the
produce of tobacco is to be found in
four of the New England States, name
ly: Vermont, New Hampshire, Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut. With
the exception of the latter State, all
the other New England Common
wealths are comparatively new to the
business of tobacco growing. In 1850,
Massachusetts produced less than 49,
600 pounds, New Hampshire only 80,
Maine, Vermont and Rhode Island
none, while COnnecticutgrew / ,267 1874
pounds But the increase in the
Northern States does not supply the
decrease in the Southern States. For
in 1860 the aggregate amount of tobac-
co grown in the United States was
AZ, 20, 46l pounds; while in 1870 it
was but 263, ,34l pounds. AS to-
bacco is a profitable crop, this aband-
onment of its culture is matter well
worthy of investigation.
