Wheat Crop Prospects.

a gentleman who has travel
ed extensively through Tenn
essee, Kentucky, West Virgin
ia, Maryland, Indiana, Ohio and
Southern Illinois, informs the
St. Louis Democrat that the
winter wheat in all regions is in
excellent condition. Some far
mers suppose the broadcast SOW
ing would prove a failure in
such States as Tennessee, Ken
tucky, Virginia and Maryland.
where the snow did not lay long
on the ground; but examination
the plant proves the reverse.
Not only is the growing wheat
in excellent condition in these
States, but the area put in is
large. In the more northerly
portion Of the winter wheat belt
the earth has been very steadily
covered with snow, and there
can be no doubt that when a
thaw comes it will be sudden
Spring viii be skipped,and sum-
mer will begin. The weather
will lie hot and forcing, and the
growth of the wheat plant will
be rapid. Another thing seems
to be pretty certain, and that is,
that there will be a big corn
crop in 1875. Corn is now
bringing price that will in
sure a large profit to the farmer,
and hogs are high also. Thus
there are two incentives to pro-
dnce corn largely. If the crop
should be so large as to force
prices down, it can be fed to
hogs and made to pay a good
profit that way.

A Spelling FrolIc.

Out west they are turning the
spelling-matches into fun. A
huge affair Of the kind in Gin
cinnati the other night was moth
ing more than a lot Of grown
folks playing school. Some of
the solid men in business and
politics first came out in the in
fants' class, and were putthrough
their PAGES on monosyllabic
words. One Of the boys brought
mOnetrOus kite to school along
with him, and was duly repri-
manded. Between attacks OH
the elementary speIIer the class
refreshed itself and startled the
audience with a fearful render
ing Of the antique ballad con-
cerningt the adventures of Nary's
lamb. One naughty boy was
detected in The possession Of an
unlawful apple, and when the
redaSogue pocketcAit thehouse-
tul OF people seemed by their
perceptible laughter to recog-
nizc the action as a rather neat
hit at the habit Of the average
Cincinnati schooImaster in the
conliscatiOn Of contraband prop
clty. Some Of the big boys and
girls took liberties with Web
ster that would have made Josh
Billings open his eyes with Won
der. One Of the most amusing
incidents Of the evening occurred
after thc intentional fun was O.
vel and the spelling had com
mcnced in earnest. The school
had opened with some forty-odd
pupils; one after another had
been thrown in the Orthographi-
cal wrestIe until only the best
dozen remained, and the word
'cassinette' was given. Now,
there is nothing extraordinary
in the spelling of the word, but
every one Of the twelve was
vanquished by it. They spelt
al around it, but failed to hit |
the right letters, and another
victory for the dictionary was
scored.

the Almighty that il lie would

his ruin be would devote to the d.
vine service all that he earned a.
bove what be would need fer his

his VOW. During the remaining
thirty years Of his life he give a.

Chasing a Murderer.
The People Of the River Country
Defied by Desperate.
From the Little Rock Gazette.

From the Little Rock Gazette.
Our readers, are pretty well
informed regarding he devilish
deeds of James Brown, the
murderer of w. j. Murphy and
Tillar, near Fulton.' From pas
lsengers below, yesterday, we
learn that the whole country
turned out in pursuit of the
desperate, and every attempt
was made TO effect his capture.
The villain took to the water
Ikea duck, and for hours con-
.cealed himself in Red River and
the bayous with which the coun-
try aboInds. He was pursued
from water to canebFake, and
from canebrake to forest, and
proved himself a fearless swim
mer, as fleet of foot as a deer,
and a dead shot. On Saturday
Col. Dudley Of Texarkana sent
ia special train with a posse Of
men headed by Judge Bancroft,
to Fulton, who took to the
brake south Of Red River
Soon more men arrived by an
other train from Texarkana, and
large squads Of farmers and
planters secured the woods and
swamps. At last they had him
surrounded, and the men closed
in, but only to find the bird had
flown. He was soon after dis
covered in the river beside alog,
swimming rapidly with the cur
rent. His deadly shot gun he
held above the log. Volley af-
ter volley was fired at the man,
but he bore a charmed life
Finally the shots came SO thick
and fast that he landed the north
side Of the river, and with a
wave of his hand bid defiance
to his would-be captors. Ar
irving at the top of the bluff he
met a small squad Of negro 8,
who opened fire on him, which
he returned with accuracy, as
one Of themen fell badly wound
ed. AT a farm house some dis
tance down the river he cx-
changed his shot gun for hat
and coat. Nothing further could
be learned Of bis movements
after leaving the house. The
woodwork Of the gun bore the
OF a dozen bullets. -
The murderer is but slightly
known in the locality Of his
crimes, generally be-
ing called Brown, sometimes
McCartha. He is described as
very tall, broad shouldered, with
reddish hair and beard, and
closely cut. Tillar,
the murdered pursuer, was a
resident of Texarkana, we'll
known and a brave man, The |
people are reported to have Civ
en up the chase, the posse from |
Texarkana returning on Sunday |
night.

'He Never Smiled Again. -

The train that brought his wife came dow1
And then went sweeping on;
But, woe to him, his wife had brought
His mother-in-law along!
He lived, for life must long be borne
Ere sorrow breaks its chain,
But this last streak just settled him
He never smiled again.
There were bright eyes around his home,
The children laughed in glee,
Before his last arrival came;
She settled that you see.
Before him passed his former chums
In pleasures reckless train,
But black alpaca held him fast;
tie nel er smiled again.
He sat where flowing bowls went round,
And songs and jokes were passed,
He thought he'd raise laugh once more:
That effort was his last.
A hollow nurmur of dispair
Was blended with the strain;
The old girls image held him back
He never snlledagain.
In other homes where sorrow came,
1t past and left no trace.
And other bfows were cleared of gloom
And Joy resumed her place
But not for him; his goose was cooked,
He cursed his fate in vain,
His hopes were dead for coming years
He never smiled again.

INCIDENT OF THE FLOOD
At CHATTANOOGA.-Dr. Baird.
Of Nashville, was conducting a
revival at the Presbyterian
Church. On Friday night, a
large congregation had assem-
blcd within the walls Of the sa-
cred edifce, and the services
were exceedingly Impressive
and solemn, having immediate
reference to the food, which at
that hour had become more
real in their awakened alarm
than previously. The services
were progressing, and after an
earnest prayer, The preacher
gave out the hymn, commcnc-
ing
How finn foundation, ye aiats, OF the
L0rl."
The congregation joined in
the hymn, and were singing the
first lines Of the fourth stanza,
''When through tie deep waters I call
th,e 60 ga,
The Iiyor; 0. waters s'aH not thee over
flow
just at this moment a man
rushed into the middle aisle
Of the church shouting hoarseIy:
''Ihe food is rising and in the
yard about the steps; hurry g.
way or you will be cut off,
Immediately the great congre-
cation stampeded and fastened
through the rising waters to
prepare for The inevitable food.

A New York paper of Marcl
25.says: a few years ago veal
thy NewYorker named Miller pur
chased a country residence in the
town Of Hunter, on the Catskil
Mountains. There he also spent
the summers with his family. con-
si>ting Of his wife and four child.
rem. Las, year he died, leaving
a large estate. Thereupon The
widow and children quit the city,
ard took up their residence in
their mountain home. The cid
est daughter, Annie, is about ft-
teen years old and very beautiful:
Accustomed as she had been 10 the
gayeties of city life, her stay in
the mountain village became dull
and irksome, aud she longed for
some excitement to break the mo.
nolony. Owing to her youth and
the nature Of society surrounding
her, as well as the fact that she
was inclined to be giddy, her moth
er forbade Der attending the balls,
donations, singing schools, and
other entertainments with which
the residents. Of the mountains
are won't to beguile the long win
ter evenings,
Disregarding her mothers conn
sells, Annie attended many of
these gatherings. Atone of them
she made the acquaintance of an
ilIiterate Irisdman named Burns,
of whom she became pHssionately
fond. Mrs. Miller, becoming a
ware of her daughters infatua-
ton, first reasoned with her child,
and fiually forbade her meeting or
speaking TO her lover.
Thus matters stood until last
Thursday, when Annie took her
mothers horse and sleigh and
rode to her lovers house. Invi-
ting him to accompany her, she
drove to Justice Farreis and they
were married. After deciding to
keep the fact Of the marriage Sc
cre,, the bride and groom returned
to tneir respective homes.
The next morning Annie acci-
dentalIy dropped the marriage
Mrs. Miller found it.
and a scene eusued. The mother
was nigh heartbroken at the con-
dact Of her wayward child. She
demonstrated, and
threatened ell To no purpose
Annie was obdurale. She said
she loved her h!s sband. aud
would not give hia up. Fin ally
she qnit her home, and S,ught
his protection.
Mrs. Miller thereupnn went to.
Saugerties, Ulster county, to take
counsel. From there She went to.
and took out a warrant
for the arrest of her daughter for
disorderly conduct and disobedi-
ence. Annie was found at her
husbands house by officers Whit
comb aud Martin, and taken to-
CatslliII. Her husband and some
friends followed. Justice Russell
gave the daughter a hearing lie
gave ber SOM good advice, but
it made 10 impression upon h~r.'
Annie said she knew her husband
was not her equal-that he WAS
it only to be her servant; but
she was married to him and in
tended to fulfil her vows. With /
1 saucy toss Of her head she added /
hat she had managed her moth
.r, and thought she could her
lusband.> All the pleadings Of the
mother were in vain, and astheJus-
ice conld rot hold the daughter,
