Thousands and thousands of dol

With this eni III view they sent Mr..

in due TIM and was put in place at
the little VIII Of Roselie, on the line
Of the Chicago and Pacific road about
twenty-three miles west Of Chicago,
last winter and spring. The works
are now in high tide of successful
operation, and will employ, when the
season opens, about six hundred or
seven hundred man. The company
has growing i'll the immediate vicini-

acres of flax, now about ready to

vicinity belonging TO private individ-

| An elderly man named Beckwith,
| residing in one OF the peninsular
counties, came TO Richmond, last
Thursday, on business. He brought
with him an old fashioned fint-lock
rife to have stock and lock put on.
On the cars he fell into conversation
with party Of three gentlemen from
this city, when one of them, to test
the reality of some Of the extraordi.
nary scats of craftsmanship he boast
ed of, offered him $40 to repeat some
of them, to which the others added
&5 between them. The trial came
off in an old field half mile below
Rockets and was witnessed BY 3
dozen persons. The old flint lock
was fired seven times and only once
missed its aim. The old gentleman,
after making two shots at a small
object to one side, TO get his hand
steady, as he said, handed his son a
potato and stationed him at fifty
yards distance, holding the potato
between his thumb and fcre6nger.
The rife cracked. and the potato fell
cloven in three or four pieces. One
Of the larger pieces was then thrown
into the air, the marksman keeping
at the same distance, and again the
shot told. An inch and half auger
was then produced, and hole bored
in the fenoe behind which was fas-
tened piece of white paper. At
the distance of sixty yards the marks
man sent ball through the aperture.
piercing the paper. At the fourth
shot, from sixty yards distance. the
bowl Of pipe, which the son was
smoking, was crushed. At the fifth
shot copper cent was thrown into
the air and hit. The sixth and
seventh shots were delivered at
blackened five-cent nickle piece
thrown up by the son, standing about
thirty yards OIL. AT the first attempt
the shot missed. The old gentleman
showed considerable mortifcation,
aud laid the blame upon bystander
who at the critical moment sneezed
loudly. The next attempt. however,
was an entire success. The old man
declined any further trials Of his
skill, and when offered sum of
money to repeat his first feat Of
shooting q potato from bis sons hand,
he refused, saying he didn't care to
try such experiments unless his
weapon was freshly cleaned. The
exhibition was the more remarkable
from the fact that the marksman was
an old man. at least fifty. His eye,
however, is a clear, bright gray. His
is that Of a poor farmer.
The young man showed not the least
tremor or anxiety during the danger
Gus experiment upon himself. The
old man, referring to his son, said,

The Louisville Courier Journal
rec cently contained al able editorial
on the subject of leadership in
the Grange, and that article has
shown that the editor fully compre-
hends the present status of the
Grange organization; and he truly
says that the greatest need of the
Order at the present time is, for lead
ers who will successfully conduct the
business interests Of the Order so
that it's financial benefits may ap-
proximste to those resulting from it
as afraternal organization. The To"r-
ier-yo,rnal adds, in conclusion, that
"the Order will gladly reward any
leader who will make such success
OF cooperation Is Secretary Kelley
has Of fraternity"
In describing that part of Missouri
devastated by the grssshoppers in
May and June last, The Master Of
the State Grange says: Suppose
you had about the 25th Of June COW
cred an sore Of groupi to the depth
Of foot or more with straw or some
other dry combustible material. and
set FIRE to it and burned it off clean;
then multiply this scre by number,
the sum Of which would equal in
area two or three counties like jack
son or Cass, prairie and timber land
includsd-and you would have q
pretty correct picture Of the appear
ance Of this country about the s5,h
