three months time the tolls will be reduced and
regulated in conformity with the provisions con-
tanned IN my letter which appeared in the Times
of the 9th OF December last. Perhaps it NAV be
thought that the Vizerla letter might have been
conceived in more positive terms and expressed in
clearer language, but at the same time must
recollec That 1t is translation from the Turkish

IRRIGATION.
The SPRAKRR called attention to the fact that q
resolution OF the House. directing the Secretary OF
the Interior to furnish copy Of paper on "Irri-
CATION" sent BY Mr. Marsh. United States Minister
10 Italy, was responded to by the statement that
the paper was in the custody of the Commissioner
OF Agriculture, and therefore not within the con-
troll OF the Department OF the Interior The Speaker
seemed to intimate that it would be news to men,
bers TO learn that the Department or Bureau of
Agriculture was an independent department OF the
government and not under the control of any other
department..
resolution was then offered by Mr.. KAssoN
(rep.) 0flowa, and adopted, directing the Commits
sioner OF Agriculture to furnish copy Of the
paper In question.

INCENDIARISM,
The Destruction OF the Memphis Machine
Shops Through the Malignity OF n
Former Employc.


Former EmplOyc.
MEMPHIS. Tenn, Feb. 4, 1874.
The burning Of the Memphis and Louisville Rail-
road machine shops last night was done by John
Mccarthy, formerly fireman on this road, but
who is now employed on the Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad. Mccarthy, in company with another
man, entered the Office OF the master mechanic,
and, pretending to be intoxicated, raised o row
with Dennis Roach Waterman, whom he
Knocked down with billet OF wood, and then
lighted match and set fire to lot OF par ers.
About this time Lee Thomas, another Waterman,
entered the room, and, taking in the
situation at O glance, struck Mccarthy
over the head with his club. Mccarthy
then ran, and was pursued by Shanks who fired
several snOts at him, one OF which took effect In
his side, as stated by q woman who dressed the
wound. Up to an early hour this morning the
police had failed to capture Mccarthy. The entire
loss reaches about $4,000. Four locomotives
standing on o side track were saved by the en-
ployes. Fully 200 men are thrown out or employ
ment by the IRE, but II IS thought now that the
shops Will be rebuilt at once

farmers have commenced harvesting while
others are preparing. The winter wheat
in our vicinity will not be . very good

1notice the ferry fats are again running,
and they have hired H. Miller to take the
place Of the other ferryman, who has, if l
learn true, discarded the occupation.
Our raspberries are at their height and
quite number are busy taking the deli
cious fruit to your city.
Tomorrow the Esdaile club Of B. B.
plays the White Stars on their ground.
There will be dance in the evening this
will be their last play till after harvest.
There are quite . number of harvest hands
travelling through this burgh, and those who,
need any had better not let such chance
slip. ..@'0's. 49,
Quite number are breaking up their

We have fairly commenced harvesting.
The grain is ripening all about the <ame
time, causing the farmers to rush along
lively. The grasshoppers have got into
our wheat fields, and are damaging the
crops. Taking them and the drouth to-
gether, look for poor yield Those who
calculated on such large yield will have
to come down notch. We have some very
poor corn on this prairie. Indeed. think
I never saw it look so bad before at this
time of the year. 1t will have to grow
rapidly to get clear Of the frost But while
we have the poorest we also have some Of
the best in this locality H. Adams has
piece which would be hard to beat in this
county. There seems to be no settled price
for wages yet; think $3.50 will be the
average price, but it is about as uncertain
as the long looked for rain, which we NAV
get or may not. If the grasshoppers car
ry things on till frost, the way they have
for the past two weeks think we will suf-
fer greatly.
The ball play passed off pleasantly la st
Saturday. The Esdailes gained the victory
by 16 runs. They gained it fairly and
they deserve the honor; but where are the
Independent Mines? Let them come out
and show their colors. Probably they will
after harvest, and if there ore no obiec-

THE SONG OF THE INDEPENDENT NINE.
You talk about the White Star Club
And the Esdaile boys so fine,
But there's nothing round this Trenton town
Like the Independent Nine.
Oh the independent Nine for me, the Indepe ndert
Nine,
There's not band in any land that ever looked 60
The ladies fair wit flowers rare,
May come to see them shine;
And they'll never forget that once they met
The Independent Nine
The Changers crowd like thunder cloud
Around their hall to dine,
But they don't enjoy the cake and pie
Like the Independent Nine.
Wen drink our fill and then we'll still
Hold up the sparkling wine,
And although we shout we'll. never 20 out
Of the Independent Nine.
You may think US bold, but the truth be told,
/ For hoDors we do pine
And you will praise the coming plays
W the Independent Nine.

Editors Of the Grange 4 dvance:
DEAR S1Rs We are having splendid
weather for harvesting. Many of our
farmers are through. Wages are from So. so
to $500 per day, $3.50 is the standard
price. Seth Lyons cut IL acres one day
this week with Marsh Harvester, and two
men bound it. There have been l2 ma.
chimes cutting wheat within three miles
square during this week. E. H. Boustead
cut some Of his wheat with an Illinois
Harvester. learn that he was satisfied
with it. We have had some heavy showers
lately, which will turn the corn to differ
ent color. The corn that was planted late
will not he as good as the early planting
this year as it was: last.
notice large amount of stray horses
and cattle in this neighborhood, and it
would be advisable to the owners thereof
to look after them, unless they wish others
to do so for them. The farmer works too
hard for his crops to have them destroyed
by such trespassers.
The grasshoppers still continue their
ravages. have heard that Seth Lyons
has had 100 bushels Of oats destroyed by
them. Some will not sell their grain this
Fall for fear that next year the grasshop-
pers clean out everything.
The potato crop looks poor and think
the price paid for them will be higher this
year than they have been heretofore.
This is the month for that delicious
fruit the melon. There are several patches
in this town; but very few of them are
worth much. do not wish to tell any one
where they are, for it may cause some
sleepless nights. The melon raiders are
preparing for q siege, but they had better
be cautious. Green melons are not very
good, at least so have been informed.
AS I write now it is raining. c. Brad
shaw has bought reaper and is going to
slay the grain in . rapid manner. 1 will
write longer letters after our busy time is
over. and will give you some Of the history
OF Trenton when she was . very small

longer letters. Sometimes special circum-
stances might warrant longer communica-
tions, but they will be Of very rare occur
