MATURING CORN IN THE HILL.

NuC lIdZeLte.
WEBSTER, Wayne county, Ind, Feb.
28.-My way of manuring corn in the
hill is as follows: In the fall | haul
out the manure to some convenient
place in the field which l intend to
plant. Then, when l get my corn
planted, take awagon and three hands
and 60 to work hauling and scattering,
taking seven rows at a through"
Two hands work on the wagon throw
ing to the outside rows the third
stands on the ground and throws on the
three inside rows. / have my manure
well rotted, and use shovels to put it
on with, and put a good shovelful to
each hill. In this way you can go over
a number of acres before the corn will
sprout enough to damage by driving
over it. have tried this plan for sew
eral years, and always have had good
returns for my labor. use an nipple
ment called gopher" for covering
my corn, which throws nice ridge on
the corn and leaves IA small furrow on
each side of the hill, into which the ma
nure falls. Inthis way the first plough
ing covers the manure and keeps it from
drying out to any extent.
We have a Grange started here, with
thirty members, and several appiica-
lions pending. 1 think, as body, we
will accomplish a great deal of good, in
pecuniary benefits as well as in effecting
moral and social reform. T. E.

The stomaeh,s Revenge.

The stomach cannot be maltTeated with i'm
punity Overload IL with food, irritate it with
fiery liquors, impair its activity or vitiate its
juices by any outrage on the laws of health
and Il reyenges itself through the liver, the
bowels, the kidneys, the brain or the nervous
system, and sometimes through all these organs
simultaneously, or in succession. There is
scarcely any variety of bodily or mental pain or
discomfort which it does not infiet upon those
who abuse and Overtask its powers. Under
these circumstances there is but one medicine
to which the sufferer can resort to with the GER
tainty of obtaining immediate and permanent
relief. The most wholesome and genial of all
stOmachics and eOrreetives, Hostetter's StOm-
aeh Bitters produces an immediate and most
beneficial change in the condition Of the pa
tent The whole digestive system Is az once in
vigOrated and SOOthe,l, the liver regulated and
toned, the hQweis relieved OF all distractions
the spirits ebeered, and the relaxed nerves
strengthened and steadied.

GOLD AND SILVER.


Financial matters are unchanged. Money
is in but little demand from the banks nor
is there much street demand. The rate,
however, is firm at ten per cent per annum
and at this price the banks loan quite freely
to their customers.
Exchange ON New York is firm. The
banks buy at par and in checking charge at
the rate Of - per thousand premium.
Gold is quiet but firm, closing in New
York at 112. For the small lots offered
here dealers pay 110d111 and hold at 112.
Silver is taken at 103 for halves and quar-
tiers.
Government bonds are firm, with rates
unchanged. There is but little dealing in
them here as they are considered rather
high. The following are the quotations at
2:I0:

MARRIAGE, says the Railroad Gazette,
would not seem to have any close connec-
ton with railroad traffic, but We find an
officer of an East Indian railroad company
explaining a falling off in the passenger re-
ceipts of the year by the fact that it was
twelfth year." which is regarded by the
Hindoos as So unfaYorable to marriage that
no one, or scarcely anyone. is married.
And as weddings are the great occasions in
HindoO life when there is great pomp and
a general gathering together of friends,
they cause a great deal OF travelling.

COUNTY POLITICS.

The meeting of the County Executive
Committee to-day may be regarded as
the starting point in the county canvass.
Thus far everything has gone well.
There has been little room for adverse
criticism, and scarcely enough of dis
sent from the steps taken in the move
ment to sustain the usual interest among
its friends. That there will be counter
movement; that certain distinguished
gentlemen who are greatly interested in
the November election will appear in
the arena in time to rally the hosts OF
Radicalism, there is not the possibility
of a doubt. But the Democratic and
Conservative masses have it in their
power TO win complete and overwhelm-
ing victory, and one which will be fol-
lowed by a similar wave in November.
This committee, to which so much is
entrusted, has but to be as pru-
dent considerate and impartial as
the people have a right to expect, and
the ticket nominated, il a good one, will
win by a decided majority. Good and
well qualified men, who have personal
strength, must be selected for each OF
the nine important Offices to fill. The
manner Of making the nominations is
an important question to consider. Any
system will be condemned which pro-
duces an objectionable ticket in whele
or in part; any system will answer
which brings forth a strong ticket. The
people seem fully imbued with the idea.
Everybody says the Bartlett movement
w;ll win with good ticket.

PRISON REFORM NEEDED,

Yesterday LEDGER reporter strolled
into the station-house about the hour
that church bells were ringing the chimes
of Easter and richly dressed congrega-
tions we're assembling at the various
places dedicated to worship. The result
of his observations appear elsewhere,
and in part, at least, are not at all tat
tering to our boosted civilization.
Among other things he noticed partieu-
Iarly, was neatly dressed, respectable
looking white woman in the common
Jail yard, in the midst of crowd
of hardened wretches of all colors
who were INDUCING in all kinds of OBJ
scene and brutal language. She drew
her veil about her face in shame at the
degradation forced upon her in the name
of the law, within a stones throw OF
christian churches. For the time being
she was separated from her two children,
not yet in their teens, and forced to
come in contact with as vile wretches as
ever polluted the air with their blasphe-
nous oatAs. Her children we're not in
the house at the time of her arrest, and
were ignorant of the fact. Some one
from the station-house went to inform
them and found the doors locked.
The mother said she supposed they had
gone to church. and she had to remain
in that intolerable den almost the live
long day, because she could not raise
the $25 forfeit demanded. And
for what was she incarcerated and so
Inundated, pray2 For the shocking
crime of throwing out bucket of slop
on the sidewalk How often is that
done Oh our principal streets and no
arrests made2 How big jail would 1t
take to hold all who committed the
same offense yesterday morningS Shame
upon laws and a system that renders
such an outrage possiblel The forfeit
was reduced toward night, and neigh
Dor furnished the necessary sum. 9th
erwise she would have been detained all
night and perhaps thrust into one of the
overcrowded cells. Suck things may
have happened often before. The police
officers are not responsible for the Law
or the imperfect accommodations of the
station-house. AS far as we know they
were obeying orders. But this circum-
stance, which we learned by the merest
accident, reveals painful state OF af'
fairs. A system under which any one
can be arrested upon a trivial charge
and thrust into receptacle for the
wretched outcasts of society is dis
grace to any people.

made up his mind to retire from the

that it is Immediately made public; that
the present rumors about his resignation
grew out of the we'll known fact that he

never communicated with him on the
subject of his retirement from the Treas

Rest assured. dear one. that thy many
friends will never forget thee; for
"None knew thee but to love thee.
Thy vacant chair around the Preside can
never be filed. The vacuum that is now In
our heart is unbounded. We will miss thee
dearest one, every hour of our life; but we
are strengthened by the consolation in know
ing that thou hast been waited on angels
wings to the bosom of God who gave thee.
He has taken thee fer another bright star TO
twinkle in His armament above. We will see
thee on earth ne more, but green will grow
our memory Of thee, while thy body reroses
under the violets of spring.
MATTIE'S TRUE FRIEND.
