Can you, or some Of your correspondents,
inform me what is the best paying crop
on sod. Is there any better than corn?
Has any correspondent tried growing beans,
to any extent, will he be kind enough to
give us his experience with the same.
What kind of beans are, upon the whole,
the best, and when is the best time to
plant. Myself and others would be under
obligations to any one who has had much
experience in this crop, for information
through the columns of The GRANGE AD-
VANCE r. H. STURGES.

DEATH AS A RELIEF.

81 know a relief" was MI.
Summers reply to his physician
when told that medicine could
do nothing for him. There was
a wondrous depths of pathos in
the words. We all look upon
death as an enemy and a robber.
1t clouds happiness by its shadow
and impoverishes the earth by
its substance. Yet when it comes
1t is usually a relief. And did
we feel that in no event and by
no iexpedient could death touch
us, our happiness would be still
more clouded, and the earth
would be intolerably cucumber
ed by the effect. The universal
law of growth and decay, which
is ceaseless change without the
least decrease,is beneficent. The
Judal of George Eliot's dream,
to whom the certainty of death
was an inspiration to grand en-
deavor, and finally, a coveted
boon, was a type Of the race.
In the day of vigor the conscious
ness Of what will soon come
nerves and strengthens one to
effort. In the night of decline it
is a solacing harbinger efrelief.

AN OLD USE FOR HAMMERS.

Twitchell, of Keene, (peace to his

in a farm house, far from home
He had nothing with him to do it
with. He asked his wife to find him
a hammer. The article was brought
out, put in a tea kettle over the fire,
and, after the water steamed and
bubbled well, he lifted it out and
gently touched it to the patient, in
a half dozen spots over the seat OF
pain, with very positive effect. Boil
ed hammers were for many years
used in that neighborhood for pleu
risy, and every old lady knew moth

there was long dispute whether it
should be claw hammer or not.

The prospect for higher prices
for American grain. this year, is

from this country cannot fail to

ATrumbuII County Mystery.

Sunday morning the dead body
of an unknown man was found in
a barn On the premises belong
ing to Harmon Austin, about two
miles west of Warren and near
Leavittsburgh. The body was
in an advanced stage of decom-
position and was completely un-
recognizable. Information was
promptly conveyed to Warren
and the coroner empannelled a
jury and proceeded to the place.
The investigation showed that
the body must have lain there
since some time before the Goth
of last September for about that
time and during warm weather
since, a stencil has been noticed
in the haymow OF the barn; but
the cause was unknown until
yesterday when the hay was re-
moved and the body uncovered.
The deceased was apparently
twenty five or thirty years of age
and was minus hat, coat and
boots, being dressed only with
wooden undershirt, cotton over
shirt, checkered cashmere pants
and vest. There were no papers
or any mark upon the body by
which the deceased could be
recognized. Upon examining the
body a gun or pistol shot wound
was found penetrating the left
breast, probably sufficient to kill,
and one suspender was round
twice about the neck, and buck
led tight. The jury found a ver-
dict in accordance with the above
facts. No clue as to the identity
of the evidently murdered man,
or any traces of the murderer or
where the murder was committed.
No one has been missed from the
vicinity, and altogether it is one
of the most mysterious affairs on
record.

InfLATIoN.

General Boynton, an unusual
ly accurate newspaper correspon-
dent, in a special telegram to the
Pittsburgh Commercial gives the
substance of a conversation with
President Grant on the financial
question, which is of considerable
Importance and lends color ts
the,reports that he may veto any
initiation measure. adopted by
Congfess:
"Inflation, he thought, would
be a step backward. and there
were no attendant circumstances,
such as war or famine, which
would seem to justify such a
measure now. Imitation, he said,
would be to increase the respon-
sibility of the Government, and
he could not lend his aid to that
when their appeared to him no
reason for such step; that any
increase of the volume of legal
tenders would be imitation and
should not be contemplated. He
does not think that free banking,
properly controlled, especially
in the matter of redemption,
would be imitation. He thought
that at present the currency
might be unequally distributed,
but it was evident that the true
remedy was not to be found ex-
clusively in legislation. The ac-
tual necessities of any locality
could not be determined nor reg
ulated by a mere theory which
could only approximate the prob
able quantity wanted. In pro-
portion to the increase of indus.
try, must be the circulation Of
money. but emily money based
on competent security, to war
rant its stability in the matter ol
value The whole question could
be best solved by the authorize.
|,tion of free banking, ETC." .mrfi
