A Young farmer Instantly Killed In
the Harvest Field.

(Lu Verne (Minn.) Herald.]
A startling event, by which a human
soul was hurried into eternity without q
moments S warning, occurred at the farm
Of Mr.. James Kelley, near the Mounds
about two o'clock in the afternoon Of las,
Tuesday. A young man named Guy
Shoemaker, nephew Of j. F. Shoemaker
was engaged in loading grain in the field
Mr.. Kelly pitching the bundles from the
shock, when there came binding flash
Of lightning, killing young Shoemaker in
stan,ly and throwing MIR. Kelley more
than twenty feet PROSTATE on the ground
besides killing valuable horse belonging
to the latter. When MI. Kelley returned
to consciousness he discovered
the lifeless body Of his companion hang.

The creek was much swollen, and, it
seems, had undermined the foundations
Of the mill. Directly after Mrs. Sloa,
had entered the mill, the foundation
gave way and the building suddenly fell
into the water. Before the inmates
could escape, the mill was buried down
the precipice. The storm from which
Mrs. Sloat sough refuge with her little

Jeff Davis.


JEFF. Davis, the ex-Confederate Presi-
dent, delivered the agricultural address
at Dc Soto, No., on the 9Th, according to
programme. A large crowd was present
from Jefferson and adjoining counties,
and quite number of the most promi.
neht citizens Of all political sentiments.
Mr.. Davis was we'll received, but there
was no notable demonstration on the oc-
casion. He opened his speech by cx.
pressing much pleasure at meeting the
people Of u section of the country with
which he was well acquainted many years
ago, and felt rejoiccd ut their growth and
prosperity. He came, he said, not to
discuss those questions which vex minds
and disturb the harmony which prevails
among the people. If there are any who
still entertain feelings Of malice, or cher
ish bitterness on account of the past, let
us withdraw from such.
He declared that whatever might be
the Vaccinations Of politicians, whatever
views of policy and designs of State craft
they might desre to consummate in the
future, the people of the great Mississippi
Valley are one, and must always remain
one people in interest, in destiny, and in
social forms and material progress. No
man, no course Of policy, no deep designs
Of ambitious men, could ever dissever
them. In all the future they would sure
ly stand together. The great river bound
them together by ties stronger than any
that politics could ever disrupt, and from
the source to the mouth the people who
dwell in the valley must be united.
He then spoke at considerable length
upon the vast agricultural resources OF
the country. and the future development
of the commerce of the Mississippi Va
ley and its great advantages and
Importance to the nation, and
predicted the time would soon
come when fleets of iron barges would
float down the mighty Mississippi, bearing
a commerce greater than the whole worlds
little while ago: and, in view of the
possibilities Of this great valley, he advo.
Gated the building of a university which
would serve to confer the highest educa-
ton upon the young men of the valley.
The great population which must soon
swarm in this rich region will lead or be
led. according to the status which they
may maintain in mental culture.
Mr.. Davis also urged the necessity Of
direct trade with Europe, and asserted
that specie resumption was impracticable
until our exports exceeded our imports.
He declared that Congress had no author.
ity to declare that payments should be re-
sumed at certain date, and that in the
present condition Of the country more
currency is needed.
The gentleman's speech was frequently
applauded, and seemed at least to give
satisfaction to all hearers.
Mr.. Davis next speaks at Fulton, NO.,
Saturday.

An item having been going the
rounds Of the State papers to the
effect that net fishing in Michigan
waters was prohibited after q GER
tain date, by an act Of the last
Legislature, we have taken pains
to look up the matter, and find that
the act refers to that part Of Lake
Erie within the boundries of this
State and Detroit and st. Clair
rivers. The only general provision
relative to the use of nets Is in Act
No. 1ss, sec. 4, which prohibits tho
use OF sweep nets exceeding $50
fathoms in length in any waters of
the State.
Beyond this there is a provision
that no speckled trout shall be
taken from the waters of the State

Wood, 81 knew n blacksmith in
our village, who was one of the
hardest tickets in the place. A re-
vival minister came along and Tom
got converted. 1t made great
change in him, and he was held up
by the church people as shining
example of the power of grace.
After Tom had travelled on the
road to Heaven for about three
weeks it came his turn TO be ex-
amined as to his fitness for church
membership. Tom was an awful
heather, and, although he could
sing and pray with the loudest, he
could not read nor knew no more
about the bible than the widest

his face washed and cap in hand,
looking a little embarrassed, but
happy, as new converts always do.
After the prayer and other prelim-

Tom. Ee told him about Jonah
and the whale and asked him if he
believed that.
"Believe that that man was in
the whales belly and came out

ble say that, parson!"
Certainly, certainly, it does my
brother!"
"Oh, yes, Of course / believe

"Do you believe that the three
Hebrew children were cast into a

Toms eyes bulged out of his

and gasped:
"Does the Bible say all that too,

"Yes, yes, of course it does, my
