MEssRs. X. X BIN my absence
miss the reading of your ever welcome
paper, and thinking that some in our dear
old Vermont would like to hear from this
section, concerning farming etc, | will
give few items.
The wheat crop is very light, having
been badly injured by the severity Of the
past winter throughout the west. The
season was very late" this spring. The
hay crop is about medium. The potato
bug is making his appearance here, but
not as badly as sometimes. The grass
hopper is not plague here, but is march
ing onward toward this place, so they
stand in dread and fear. Farmers are
now blowing (hooing) their corn the first
time, in fields from five to seventy five
acres each. A man and horse can hoe
from eight to ten acres day. Also they
are at this time busily engaged in prepar-
ing the ground for wheat next fall, the
so called "summcr following" A large
amount Of wheat is in the store houses and
granaries, waiting for higher prices.
Wheat is worth 800; oats, SOC; pota-
toes, Sl00 butter, l5c; eggs, lie;
cheese, lSc. Wages of hired men are
from Sl2 to s24. Nearly every peach
tree was killed last winter, and many
other fruit trees by the cold weather.
The 2nd Of June quito hurricane
swept over here and some parts of lndi.
ana, uprooting trees, destroying. houses,
etc, but no lives were lost as far as can
be learned.
The following "sirong' notice was OBJ

gilt seems perfectly wonderful to
the uninitiated how much can be made
Of single item of news. AS an illus
tration, we announced that Hon. Il. j..
Phelps had been invited to deliver an
eulogy upon Judge Nelson at the COM
ing commencement of Middlebury col.
lego. This item the Rutland "neioS-
paper" course repeated as original. This
was followed with an announcement that
he would deliver such an culogy. Then
upon our suggestion this statement was
taken back. And yesterday the enter
prise Of this "newS.paper" was again shown
by the fourth announcement upon this
matter, in q statement that the Sentinel
says Mr.. Phelps is obliged to forego his
eulogy upon Judge Nelson. What form
the next news item, made up from this
subject, will take, can be better told by
the readers Of that journal after day Or
two.

IMPROVED METHOD FOR SHOE.
ING HORSESI

From long experience in shosing horses, a.
well as in dealing in them, / think 1 was
well prepared to appreciate the fact that bad
shoeing probably spoils more horses than all other
causes, cramping and twisting their feet, and ul-
timatey their limbs. out of shape, until they are
finally crippled and unable to travel except in
pain. 1t matters little whether these bad effects
proceed from ignorance, erroneous ideas, or from
careless, bunglng practices, so long rs the effect
is the same. During the past year have spent
much time while in market, carefully investiga-
ting the improved modern methods of shooting.
by which the feet of the beat and most valuable
horses in New York, Boston, Providence, and
other large places, are kept in the most Latural
shape and condition possible. By these methods,
feet contracted by careless, bad shoeing founder,
ETC., can usually be brought back to their natural
shape, enabling them to travel much easier, and
adding much to their true value. Ii would take
far too much space to explain these methods in
an ordinary advertisement, but have made ar
engagements to commence the business of hors
sh being again at my old shop near the Fai
Grounds, where l may be found to explain and
make practical application of them. | shall be
pleased to see q limy old customers, as we'll as
all who have got horses who want them shod in .
careful and correct manner.
My terms viii lbe strictly cash at tho time the
work is done.

BALLOON ASCENSION.

On the 18th inst. P. 7. Barnum, the
world renowned Snowman, sent up a bal
loon from Chicago. The balloon con-
tanned Prof. Donaldson, who had previ-
ously made 1877 similar trips, and Mr..
Grimwood reporter of the Chicago Ev-
ening journal. The balloon assembled to
an altitude of 1000 feet and passed out
over lake Michigan, where it encountered
the violent storm which fell on that
night.
That evening the aeronauts were
sighted by schooner. They were about
thirty miles from shore, and the basket
was dipping water. As the schooner
turned to assist them, the balloon again
assembled and was soon lost from sight.
From that time great fears were enter
tanned by the friends of the voyagers.
Nothing farther was heard of them till
the nineteenth inst, when they struck
terra frma in Michigan between South
Haven and Nangatuck.
They were in a very exhausted condi-
ton. Medical aid was sent to them
from South Haven. The Professor will
make another ascension in a few days.

TUE NEW SILVER MINES.

At the mouth of the Merrimac river,
in northeastern Massachusetts,, lies the
city of Newburyport, which is one of the
Oldest cities on the Atlantic coast. 1t
has always been wealthy city since it
was frs. founded. In point of education
its inhabitants have never been excelled
by any American city. For the past
200 years her citizens have nearly given
up the hope of ever discovering anything
in her soil which would bring wealth to
their midst Yet there have always been
some, who would still continue to make
tests and experiments in the hope of
finding some mineral which should rich
ly remunerate them. At last their
faithful labors have been rewarded with
success. Silver has been discovered.
One hundred tons of the ore have been
smelted. The profit was $l35 per ton.
The ore is abundant. Such results
should encourage all who are seeking
similar results. We do not believe in
making utterly hopeless experiments
like the alchemists of old, but when
there is any possible chance of success,
we say let the prospecting be continued.
Possibly we may wait as long IS did
Newburyport before any important
discoveries are made. We hope not, let
what advantage we already have be i'm
proved, and money will be brought to US.
We already have what to many seems
equal, if not superior, to mine of pre-
cious minerals. We refer to our salt
we'll. Cannot something be done to make
It source of profit to this community?
The matter has been delayed long enough.

AND now comes A. d. Ravens, of
Leavenworth, and makes complaint to
Gen. G. B. Fish, chairman of the Board
of Indian Commissioners, at New York,
that fraud was practiced at the May
letting of contracts for Indian supplies.
Havens says that at that time he made
the lowest bid for furnishing 100000
pounds of Flour at Sioux City. His bid
was $274 per hundred, yet the contract
was given to ]. H. Charles at $297 per
kaAdfed. Havens complains that the
attention of the Commissioner of Indian
asaifs and also of the Secretary of the
Iaterior, has been called t. this fraudu-
lent letting of the contract, yet he can
obtain no satisfaction from either of
them. Haven claims that his bid was in
all respects in strict conformity with the
law on that subject, and he asks that the
matter be enquired into by the Indian
Commission.

publishes the following:

The Commonwealth of the Dist inst.
publishes the following:
Beaver, Utah, July 2O.-In the court
this morning, Judge Sutherland, coun.
sci for Darne, said that he had found a
fatal defect in the Indictment, which he
had intended to overlook and go to trial
on it, but finding that Lees case would
be first tried and Darne's not reached
this term he asked that the indictment
be quashed on the ground that the
crime was not alleged to have been COM
mitted in this Territory or District, or in
any country, but simply at Mountain
Meadows, with some other designation,
whereupon Mr.. Carr rose and presented
a new indictment, which charges Darne,
Elliot, Welder, VIM. C. Stewart, George
Adair, Jr., John NJ. Higbee, Isaac
Haight, S. Jakes and Phillip X. Smith
who conspired with the Indians to kill
those emigrants. that in pursuance with
that conspiracy they did kill them. The
indictment will not be made public till
tomorrow morning, at which time Lee
will be arraigned.
In substance, John d. Lees confession
is that thirty MOrmons, with the assist
ance OF a large number of Indians, de-
coyed the emigrants from their intrench-
ments by a flag of truce that all were
murdered except II children that the
deed was done under orders of a leader
of the Mormon church that he took the
news of the massacre to Brigham Young
who deplored the transaction and said it
would bring disaster on the Mormon
people. The statements of Lee, so far as
known only cunfirm previous reports in
regard to the massacre.
