Court House Brick Yard.

We visited, the other day, the
Brick yard established by Mr..
Livingston, the contractor for build
ing the new Court House, and found
to our surprise kiln containing
ekaGsA hundred sapd twenty thous-
=. ,iuks rc.&fsY for
burning. TO us these bricks looked
as fine as any we ever saw in the
same state Of progress. The supcrin-
tendant Of the work inf ,rmcd us that.
in his opinion, he could turn out MS
fine work MS could be turned out in
any yard in the State. This will be n
great advantage to our Town, and it
IS a great pity that the business of
making good bricks here has SO long
been delayed. Thousands of dollars
have been expende.i and sent out of
the Town and County, that could rs
we'll have circulated amongst us.
Pluck, energy and enterprise can ac-
complish wonders in short time, and
you find it in every go-ahead pro
gressivo town. We have it here to n
certain extent with few, and We are
glad to say it is on the increase,
spreading rapidly, and wc hope sool,
to chronicle the fact of our whole
population being inoculatcd with it.
Then we will indeed, spread out our
fins and suckers and take in the su-
bcrbs, and build lis n city on seven
hills, second to none in the State.
!Witha country to back lis, rich III all
the production Of an alluvial soil,
md owned and possessed by go
ahead people, forward must be the
watch word until we are numbered
with the cities that make men proud
to hear named.

Bowen Acquitted.

The testimony of self convicted
murderer vas not considered good evil
dence in the trial Of G. G. Bowen, aI
Georgetown last week. The solicitor,
MIR. Atkinson stated to the court and
jury that the State had fnilch to make
out its case against Mr.. Bowen. That
it was not usual in this State to con
Wet man for crime upon the unsup-
ported evidence of convicted crimi-
nal. Judge Shaw, q democratic Judge,
be it said, in his charge to the jury,
sustained the able solicitor, and the
natural result was n verdict of &C.
quittnl.
We have but little to say in The
matter. We knew that Mr.. Bowen
in this instance, was m innocent man,
and we believe those who bounded
the matter on knew he was not guilty,
too. And trying to convict a man
OIL such evidence, in our opinion, only
opens the way for a great deal Of
trouble 10 many in our State, who in

There is young colorcd woman in
Oskaloosa who has II strange history,
if the story told by herself and friends
be true. She is called Maggie Adams,
and is about seventeen years of age.
Until recently she had lived with q
family by tho name OF Allen, in the
south part Of this county, who came
from Missouri to Kansas. During all
the years since the war she has been
in state Of slavery, receiving moth
ing for her work, being compelled to
do washing, ETC., for various families,
allowed no books or opportunities of
learning, and kept i'll ignorance of the
fact That she was 10 longer slave.
She was kept so jcalously guarded that
she knew nothing whatever of the
abolition Of slavery. and was en-
'lightcncd and her release procured by
a young colorcd man who somehow
learned the facts and went to work to
have her set at liberty.-Leurcnworth

The Paris Opinion Nationale ar
nounces the death of n person named
Andrew, whose father was, it is said,
the first passenger who ever went on a
steamboat, having returned from AL.
bany with Robert Fulton.
Now was not that too bad in An
drew |! Why in thunder did he die
just now? if he had only lived little
longer perhaps his father might have
taken the first trip with Kelley when
he applies his motor" and would
have made it rs great success MS he
made Fulton's old fashioned steam.
We arc not exactly sure where we
can find Andrew now, or we
would suggest some punishment for
him. But if the chuckle head, who
first got off the above paragraph was
dead, we could spot him easily.

Some startling Ra,, statistic.
Dubuque Times.


- = Dubuque Times .
Few persons, probably, have ever
taken the pains to calculate the cnor
nous quantity Of rain that falls during
n heavy and extensive storm. Let us
take the storm that travcrsed MINES
ota on the night Of August 30th, and
make few calculations. Whether
that storm reached northern Minncso-
ia, where tclegraphs aud railroads
have not yet penetrated, we cannot
determine; but supposing it did not,
Lit covered enough OF Northwestern
Iowa, southeastern Dakota and west
crn Wisconsin, to balance the account
and render 1T safe to consider that
storm as covering an area equal to the
state of Minncsota-53, ,54O,S4O acres.
But to be entirely within bounds, let
us regard the storm as covering but
half the statc-2G, ,71O,42o acres. An
acre is 6,s72 $40 square inches. Onc
inrh-rairtut4 is cquivu4rnt;1 on 'l11 ucT5r
Of surface, to G,272 GAO cubic inches,
or exactly $3.50 cubic feet; or s222 222, 622.
gallons; or 72o barrels; or, in weight,
i13 tons. During the storm referred
to there fell an average OF four inches
Of water. \ simple calculation, COW
cring half the area Of Minnesota,
would show the amount that fell to be
39S,04S,5 ,59S 400 cubic feet; eqnivalen,
to a trough or bar Of water one hun
dred feet wide, one hundred fee, deep,
land seven thousand three hundred
and fifty miles long; and in weight,
twelve hundred and eight millions of
tons. This, remember, refers net to
the week 81 series Of storms, but to
the singlcstofn Of the night Of Aug.
Both. The result: is almost Incredible,
of course, bat those>who question it
are respectfully invited to make the
calculations for themselves. And all

SOME METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVA-
TIONS REGARDING THE BARON
ETER, HURRICANES ETC, WITH
EXTRACTS FROM THE LATE
MAJOR LANG'S REMARKS ON
THE SAME.
From an old 81. Cr0is AviS,)

LIST. The absolute height of the Barometer
is of no Importance. The mercury will some
times remain very low for days together in
the finest weather but the Quickness with
which the mercury may descend from any
altitude is the object to be noticed. If the
glass should have stood very high, and should
rapidly fall, even so small an amount as one
tenth Of an inch, there would be a greater pro.
liability of a gale than if the mercury had
gradually descended to a point a quarter of an
inch lower.-1t requires a little practice to
observe a Barometer with accuracy.
End. No sufficient. confidence can be placed
BY Landsmen in the appearance of the weather
as Indicative of a coming storm. A Barometer
is absolutely infallible, and will always give
two or three hours notice at least if carefully
observed by a competent observer, with due
regard to the precepts contained in the proceed.
ing remarks.
3rd. A hurricane cannot from
the south. This may be relied on as absolutely
certain in spite of any assertion to the contrary.
So soon therefore as any indications Of an
approaching hurricane may appear, proceed
in the first place to secure your northern
doors and windows. You will have time to
secure your southern ones without difficulty
even after the gale has commenced.
4th. IF a hurricane should begin with Q
strong. gale due north or a little to the east or
west of north, you may expect it will last a
long time, and will be very severe. In such
a case the. wind will continue to blow very
nearly from the same point for several hours.

ROOT PRUNING TO INDUCE FRUIT
BEARING SUPERSEDED.
THE Practical Farmer.l

Some fifteen years ago I had a small
apple tree that leaned considerably. I
drove a stake by it, tied a string to a limb
and fastened it to the stake. The next
year the limb blossomed fully and not
another blossom appeared on the tree.
Therefore, after thinking the matter over,
| came to the conclusion that the string
was so tight that it prevented the sap re-
turning to the roots, consequently fruit
buds were formed. Having a couple 'of
pear trees that were large enough to bear,
but never blossomed, | took a piece of
coarse Irvine and wound it several times
around the tree above the lower limbs, and
tied it as tightly as I could. The next
spring all the top above the cord blossom
ed as white as a sheet, and there was not
one blossom below where the cord was
tied. A n~eighbor, seeing my trees loaded
with pears, used this method with the
same result. l have since tried the ex-
periment on several trees with almost equal
success. 1 think it is a much better plan
than root pruning. In early summer. say
June and July, wind a piece of strong
twine several times round the tree or
single limb and tie it, the tighter the better,
and you will be pleased with the result.
Next winter or spring the cord may be
taken off.
