The r. G. Gallagher farm, south of town,

John Lindsey, an employee in r. w.

ship, had one of his fingers broken recently
by having log roll on it.
Mrs. Mary Horning's house, in Ferman-
agh township was destroyed by fire last
Wednesday. The people who lived in the
the house were not at home at the time of
the fire.
We are sorry to announce the death of
Mr.. David Kurtz, of Walker township,
father of Mrs. James w. Hamilton, of this
place. He died on Wednesday afternoon,
after protracted illness.
The Democratic County Committee of
Junata county met on Tuesday last and
elected DIR. l. N Grubb representative DEL
egate to the state convention. John Dun
bar A. G. Bonsall and David Fowles were
elected senatorial conferees to select a SEN
atorial delegate in conjunction with con-
ferees of other counties in that senatorial
district.
The Sentinel says: Court was held in
the NJ. Il. Church. We were in the room
long enough on Tuesday afternoon to re-
ceive an installment of the most doleful
feelings, engendered by the smell of now
paint and plaster. The ventilation was
dreadfully poor. The Bench and the Bar
looked as if something was the matter. If
there had just then been couple of good
earnest revival men, with lungs to endure
any kind of an atmosphere, they might
have turned the Court into revival meet
ing and converted the whole house.
Seth Zeigler who has his home with
Jonathan Kaufman, who resides South of
town on the r. G. Gallagher farm was the
victim of robbery last Saturday night
On that night between the hours of 8
and o'clock, two men knocked at the
kitchen door of Mr.. Kauffman's residence
and were admitted by Mrs Kaufman, to
whom they stated that they were Pittsburg
that Zeigler and Kaufman were under ar
rest at Wills hotel, and before Mrs. Kauff-
man recovered from the shocking an
nouncement one of the men, who from his
action seemed to know the house, hastened
from the kitchen through an adjoining
room to Kauffman's bed chamber and drew
from under a bed in which two children lay
asleep a trunk, saying as he drew it out
"this is the trunk" The other scoundrel
who until then had kept back, seemingly
fearing recognition stepped forward, took
hold Of the trunk and the two men were
soon out of the house into the darkness,
meanwhile one of the two girls who have
their home at Kauffman's hastened up
stairs to waken the hired man who had
gone to bed. He hurried down and follow
ed the men by sight across the basin bridge
to the town side, only to lose them about
the quarry. The trunk was found on Sun
day in the quarry, broken to pieces. A
valise that was in the trunk was also found
there cut open. 1t is hoped that the bold
thieves may be traced out to certainty, and
brought to justice. Kaufman and Zeigler
were in town at the time of the robbery.

How thoroughly the grasshoppers did their
work in Nebraska, and what destitution and
suffering they left behind them may be gath
cred from some statements which Gen. Ord,
commanding the Department Of the Platte,
made in an address to the Chicago Board Of
Trade one day last week He said that sew
eral deaths of children from starvation had
already taken place. In Boone, Greeley,
Sherman, Howard, Buffalo, and all the other
counties so miles west of the Missouri river,
two thirds of the people are des titute of the
necessaries of life. They have inadequate
supplies of clothing, and food is impossible to
get. In one house the corpse of child was
found that had persisted from starvation, and
the mother lay PROSTATE near by, dying from
the same cause. The destitute population
number about seven Thousand men, women
and children: and the Chicago Board Ct
Trade, moved by the plain statement of facts
which Gen. Ord gave them as the result Of
his own and his officers observations, ap-
pointed a committee to take immediate steps
to collect subscriptions and forward supplies.

THE GREAT FORGERY.

Having tried the bloody arts of the Ku-
Klux and White Leagues, the conserva-
tives of Louisiana added to their methods
to carry the State election bold game OF
forgery Documents were published in
one of the New Orleans papers pretending
to be kilograms that passed between Sem
ator Morton and others and party in
New Orleans, having reference to the pre-
tended corrupt use of money to sustain
the Kellogg government. These were
expected to create great sensation and
indignation against the republicans, but
the discovery that they were forgery has
had an effect different from the one in-
tended. A despatch from Washington
pronounces them forgeries, and says there
is reason for supposing they are part of
the letters which were heralded last spring
in the editorials of a prominent newspa-
per, and were then put aside as false,
and have remained unpublished till now.
Their existence was known to several per-
sons, and they have been seeking mar
ket without success. The publication at
tracts little attention, as their fictitious
character is apparent. .,

What Ashes and Plaster Did.
The Rural Home gives this
Bit OF history: During the year
1857, q man named Arthur Du-
gan, went to the town OF Pa.
dermo, N. Y, and bought sixty
acres OF dry, sandy land, with
here and there q little pertain
ing 10 gravel. He paid $1,000
for it. He knew nothing about
farming, being q machinist by
trade, and never held a plow.
After paying for his land, he
had $500 dollars lett. He found
his land was worn out. He be.
gan by buying ashes and plas
ter; would draw. potatoes four
teen miles TO OSwego, and load
his team back with manure
from the livery stables. His
crops increased, his ashes were
spread correspOndlngly thick.
lie raised principally potatoes
and wheat Now 2 900 bushels
OF ashes per year are about
what he buys. His potatoes,
or several Years past, average
$50 bushels per acre; his win
ter wheat thirty bushels or
over, and he has saved from
his farm alone, till he now
holds $4,000 in bank stock,
and would not cell his farm Tor
500 per acre. He sold in 1869
IN potatoes and wheat, over
$4,000 worth. lie Is known as
the best farmer in this county.
Yet when he began buying
ashes, old farmers shook their
heads, and said "He will know
