The glanders in horses is becoming
an alarming contagious disease i'll
Massachusetts.
About one-twelfth of the wheat
crop in Minnesota, is estimated to
have been destroyed by the grasshop-
pers.
Many of the diseases Of the horses
eve are occasiOned through injury
from the use of blinkoTs or blinds OIL
the brides.
Boiled linseeL oil is now applied
with success to diseased fruit trees,
including the pear.
An Illinois fruit grower, who has
$4,000 apple, and from 1000 to 6, 600
pear trees, finds that those with low
heads, of the same varieties, show at
least two.thirds more fruit, as large
or larger, and as high colored rs those
with high iops.
The California wheat crop Of tho
present year, says the n. Y. Tribune,
is a true golden shower. It's estima-
ted at fully 10000, 600 bushels. This
is about one.sixth of the whole pro-
duction of the United States last
year.
Manual labor and mental culture
should go hand in hand and cooper.
crate with each other, if the best
results are to be expected from hui
man efforts whether in farming Or in
any other business.
The Lancaster Gazette says: We
believe that our farmers never had
more reason to "thank God and take
courage than now. Crops of all
kinds are looking finely, and are far
nearer maturity than usual at this
time.

\ H,z,rD0Ua B,I1ooy RIDE

4 HAzARDOUs BALLOON RIDE
Professor Donaldson came very near
making his last balloon voyage last
Tuesday, and sacrificing at the same
time the lives of two others. He had
ascended from Barnum's Iippcdrome
in Boston, with w. d. Balch, Of the
Boston Nc,c8, and G. II. Baldwin, Of
the Gazcjic, for companions, the trip
being one OF the series which he has
been making this summer, ostensibly
TO settle the theory Of an easterly cur
rent, preparatory to a voyage across
the Atlantic. For once the balloon
went eastward and seawad with q
vengeance, evidently 10 The great sur
prise and discontinue of the Proies-
sor. and, doubtless, of his passengers.
When over Long Island, the PROBES
sor concluded he had pursued the
eastward current theory iar enough
for the present, and shouted to the
men on the Island to seize the drag
rope, which IS about three hundred
feet long. In their efforts to bring
the balloon down, there being strong
wind, they caused it to burst, and the
balloon came down Oh the run. The
professor, with great presence ofmind,
Jumped out when the balloon was
within about ten feet Of the ground,
which lightcned it 50 that his com
panions landed without injury.

an d so arranged that the occupants ol
ontiguous pews often sat back tc
back, with only the partition and top
railing between them. There are
but few of them left in the country
now.
Now, it so happened that on the
Sabbath of Parson Somers' visit, two
elderly deacons, occupying joining
pews, and sitting with their backs
very near together, probably under
the influence of profound meditations
upon things holy, had fallen asleep,
with their heads thrown back until
their two long, carefully bound queues
dangled in close proximity. Some,
piously and kindly inclined, said that
the deacons were not asleep, but were
only wrapt in spiritual fervor; but,
be that as it may, they were certain
ly obliviOus to surrounding things,
and thus fell into trouble.
In a third pew, cornering upon the
pews OF the deacons, sat a young man
depraved and wicked and what does
this sacrilegious sinner do but take
the dangling queues aforesaid, and
tie them firmly together. And then,
to complete the sum of bis iniquity,
he took pin and remorselessly stuck
lie into the shoulder Of the nearest
deacon.
OF course the deacon jumped, as
any one would have done under the
circumstances.
And it will not be wondered at
that the other deacon was caused TO
Jump also.
7 "Let go my hair" cried deacon
number one.
Let go my hair vociferated deacon
number two.
"Ohl-WoCgh" "
"Let 90, sayl"
1t was twitch and twitCh, bump and
bump; with groans and cries inter
mingled, until the two unfortunate
men arrived at a full consciousness of
the situation, and then
But we leave the rest to the read
er's imagination, trusting cnly thut ne
will not deem it jmpious on the part
of the good old parson that he fairly
laughed on that occasion.

Of handsome edifice, in the midst
of trees and shrubs, and spoke to Mr..

"Certainly YOU may, if You want

said Summers.
During tho next half hour the
man had his ladder up and his assist

time the job was done. lie called
Summers out to admire it. He said
to Summers:
'GNow that's all well enough, bat if
it was my house, I'd have another
rod put up on the other side. There
is nothing like being protected thor

"That's true" said Summers, sit

"Jll put up another, shall ?" ask

"Why, of course, if you think it

Accordingly, the man went to work
again, and soon had the rod in its
place.

i'll the new ritual, the utteranco OF which WILL
emite his conscience It is truo that there
have been diEscnsions and scccssions IN the
Roman and Episcopal Churches. but the rocoS-
n,zed discipline Of these organizations has o1ef-
cised restraining influence on them, and they
have been comparatively few in number. Bat
the Church which starts of with the fundamen-
tai principle that the dictates Of every clergy
mans conscience arc superior to canons and
Bishops is exceedingly npt to develop an an-
nsual number Of recalcitrants. We do not
say that the principle is false in morals. bus 1t
certainly seems to be subversiro OF discipline,
which las heretofore been regarded as the chief
aim OF church organization.
To follow out Bishop Cheney's views logically
would lead to the inquiry why the Performed
Episcopal Church has begun its life with two
Bishops who arc slorn Ct authority both bJ pre-
cont and example. Why did not tho Reformed
"Episcopal' Church drop the EpiEcopacy when
it had decided TINT tie chief authority should be
the conscience Of evory individual. who may de-
tcrmine ut all times whether an admins
trat;on is Cody or not? The Episcopacy

thority is to leave him as Bishop in namo alone,
useless and costly superluity in al organlza-
ton where discipline is subordinate. The Ebcr-
ality of the Reformed Episcopal Church, as in-
dicated by Bishop Cheneys utterances, would
have been moro generally understood il the Of
