distinguished themselves on q former
occasion by vanquishing load of fish,

house, with load of cans full of milk
for the factory, and hitched the horses
for a moment. At the end of that
moment the horses had broken both
their hitch straps, dashed across the
street, and climbed over a row of
hitching posts in front of Peter Rush's
blacksmith shop. A part of the cans
came down there (the lockers on said
some of them came down over the top

short turns around the shop to dis

tlced the thirty-gallon cans waltzing
about near his door, and ran out and
ended them up before the milk ran out.
The team soon after brought to in a

consist of q mashed milk wagon, seVe-

very startling. But, as strange as it
may sound to say it, we need good
rain badly. The very severe and pro-
tractcd spell of rainy weather, with
the dry weather since, has left the
ground in a condition fearful to con-
template, baking the ground in some
fields SO that it is out of the question
to plow corn. And the ground being
in such packed condition small grain
is being injured, checking its growth
and fastening harvest. In week or
ten days from this date fall wheat will
do to cut in places.

Small grain has decided advan-

TO pull up all artichokes and suntiow-

crop.
New potatoes large as hens eggs,
June 10th.
The fine weather of the past few
days has been appreciated, and much
labor has been done with good results.
Remember, farmers, that to have your
corn clean when foot high gives you
a decided advantage, with Il very ia
vorable prospect for full crop.
Potatoes, too, must be kept clean
and the ground mellow. Pillow until
new potatoes are set, is the way we
do, and we raise some potatoes down

have load of corn shelled, that their
colt got into Il field and they had to go
back and get it out; that in muddy

to bark Johns knuckles; that they
found Armor's mill partly disabled by
high water; and went to Soden'G, but
that had no shelter; that they shelled
the corn by hand; that they started

MFR. Blankenship and family, who
live on Market street, near the "A. j.
& S. F. X. T., were away from home
last Sunday, and did not return till
Monday. Early Monday morning some
of the neighbors found two trunks
near the track, broken open, and their
contents badly mixed. Mrs. Blank
ships name being on them, il was at
ouce surmised the house had been
burglarized. Investigation has dis
closed the following facts: That the
thieves first broke into Prosser &
Graves foundry, and took screw
driver and ehisel, marked with the
name of Watson, an employee. With
these instruments (Which were found
on the trunks they opened the side
window of Blankenship's house, and
"went through" every room, in search
of valuabies. They took 300 worth
of clothing, among which were black
suit and light cashmere suit, which
had been worn by Mrs. Blankenship's
first husband. Also $25 in money,
some Of it being silver pieces belong
ing to Mr.. BIS little girl. They also
took valuable papers, valued by Mr..
Bat $400, some being claims against the
State of Kentucky. Besides taking
the trunks ont of the house. they car
ried stand drawer as far as the brick
school house, and left it there empty.
Tor
large lamp that had been left down
stairs, was found up stairs. They
took all they thought of use 10 them,
though their work was hurried. The
police are looking out sharp for the
culprits, and meantime everybody had
best look out for their houses, and for
articles offered for sale by unknown
parties.

we can't expect it right away. But
we hear that Col. Plumb offers to buy
them at 93 cents on the dollar. So
why are they worthless? Later--The
