There's my clerk over there. Almost
every day, as he passes along the street,
some one calls out Shoot that necktie! 7

Well, Ishan't punish you for what

CHICAGO. August 81.
The Times this morning prints spe-
cial reports of the condition of the
wheat crop in the Northwest, COM
prising the States of Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois and
Kansas, with miscellaneous reports
from other sections of the country
summarized. The best reports are as
follows: In Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Nebraska nearly all the reports agree
that this will be year of plenty. The
wheat has been mostly cut and stacked.
The quantity is far above the average,
and the quality has never been bet
ter. There will be at least one-fourth
more wheat exported from these States
than in any previous year. From Iowa
the reports are encouraging. In the
main the yield has been fully up to the
average in the sections that have suf-
fered from the ravages of the grass
hoppers. the army worm and chinch
bugs, while the weather has figured
conspicuously in retarding the growth,

reason the seizures were made.

Lamar of Mississippi, Vice President.
One was an officer in the Federal army
and the other served in the Confederate

AS all the States of the Union are
peacebly disposed and the efforts of all
good citizens are directed to healing
the wounds made in the body polite
by the late strife, there is no apparent
necessity for a Union party, except to

A New Jersey Girl Sells Herself Eor
Fifteen Thousan Dollars.
from the Somerset Messenger.l


A somewhat eccentric though wealthy
gentleman named Gates has recently
been creating quite sensation In and
about Somerville. He is we'll advanced
in years. being upward of 70, himself a
widower and a cripple. with one mar
ried daughter, an only child. He moved
into Hillsborough township over year
ago, and bought considerable real
estate, giving one farm to his daughter.
He is said to have been quite lavish
with his money-to such an extent that
his family became alarmed, and an
effort was made by his daughter and
son-in-law to have hifa declared insane
and placed under guardianship, but
this effort proved failure. Among his
other eccentricities was his evident
fondness for tie society of young
ladies. On the 9th of July he became
acquainted with young lady from the
West, who, with her mother, was tenn
porarily staying in Somerville, and who
Is not yet cut of her teens, to whom he
made proposals of marriage. The girl
took one hour to consider the matter,
and then signifed her acceptance,
although, it is said, against the wishes
of her mother, and on Monday of this
week the parties were united in mar
riage, the cermony taking place in
Plainield-the mother in the mean
time having become reconciled. Fifteen
thousand dollars was the marriage por.
ton of the bride, which sum was OF
once placed at her disposal.

SPECIE PAYMENTS = The battle
in the House over the new Finance
bill was as short as in the Senate,
all debate having been sensibly cut
off by the previous question. The
bill, as previously stated in these
columns, is not wholly satisfactory
to any one; but it is in response in
some measure to the conviction of
the country that we should resolve
to return to specie payments. The
majority in the House, without
much delay, have passed the bill,
and the President will doubtless
promptly sign it. And now that
there is some prospect of resump-
ton of specie payments within
twenty-four years at least, prudent
merchants in the thirty States
that use paper money exclusively
will begin at once to calculate
values and profits by specie
standard, thus meeting the change
in advance. Merchants on the
Pacific slope will not have to fol-
low this practice. Now, if Con
gress shall refuse all subsidies, and
avoid all questionable legislation,
the Republican party may be rein
vigorated and renewed. The race
of '76 will probably be won by the
party that can most easily and
speedily reform itself. Which
shall it be?

A HAPPY woman! is not she the
very sparkle and sunshine of life? a
woman who is happy because she
can't help it-whose smile even the
coolest sprinkle of misfortune can
not dampen. Men make terrible
mistake when they marry for beauty
or talent, or for style. The sweetest
wives are those who possess the
magic secret of being contented un-
der any circumstances. Rich or
poor, high or low, it makes no diff
ference; the bright little fountain of
joy bubbles up just as musically in
their hearts.

STATE vs. 0GBURN.

.ta1 49, -
In this case motion for contin-
uance was made By, the State and a
somewhat heated argument ensued
between counsel. The Judge forced
the State to trial. A motion to mol
pros. was then made. Another warm
discussion ensued, and the Attorney
General. thinking the Judge intended
to reflect on him in some remarks
which were made from the Bench,
withdrew from the case. The prose-
cutor, E. W. Thumasson. also with.
drew and failed to come IN when he
was called to testify. The Judge APP
pointed a new Attorney General, had
a subpoena issued for the prosecutor,
instructed the Sheriff to make him
give bond in the sum of $3.50 for his
appearance on Monday morning, and
adjourned the court until that time.
On Monday morning, the Judge
stated that he had fined many citizens
for willful absence from court and for
hindering and delaying its proceedings,
and that he could make no distinction
In favor of officers of the court and at
torneys. He instructed the clerk to
fine the Attorney General and E. W.
Thomasson each $50. E. w. Thomas
son then appeared and testified. The
trial was concluded and the defendant
acquitted.
a day or two afterwards, the Judge
having heard that some persons were
representing the affair as personal
difficulty between himself and the At
torney General, assured that officer
from the Bench that he had never
had thought of ma king the matter a
personal one, that he had done simply
what he thought to be his duty, that
he had no desire to wound his feelings
or give him offense, that if in the midst
of the former discussion he had made
any remark which was calculated to re-
feet upon him personally it was un-
intentional and he would cheerfully
withdraw it. The same in substance
was said to DIR. Thomasson. The court
then proceeded to the trial Of some
other causes.
Subsequently, Gen. Quarles, in be-
half of DIR. Thomasson, presented
written statement to the court declar-,
ing that he-Thomasson-had not abb
scented himself from willful contempt
or with desire to delay the proceed
ings and defeat the ends ofjustice; but
that he was honestly under the i'm
preston that the case would not be
prosecuted and that his presence would
not be needed. He asked the court
to set aside the fine. Upon this state
ment the fine against him was set aside.
Two days afterwards, Judge Smith ap-
peared in court and asked that the fine
against the Attorney General should
also be set aside. This application
was also granted by the court.
5 These are all the facts in the case.
We get them from the attorneys in
terested on both SIDES. We mention
the matter only because it has created
considerable interest, and because
there seems to be a good deal OF mis-
understanding aboutit. 1ael d,

The Memphis Appeal has the fol-
lowing suggestions about the wheat

The Memphis Appeal has the fol-
loving suggestions about the wheat
crop: - ~ @'' -asa - ~
"The recent rainy spell injured
wheat considerably where it was left
in the field without being well shocked
or capped. Much of the wheat was
left in an imperfect condition and re-
ceived considerable damage. Let those
farmers who have not time to thresh it
this week go,over their fields and have
their wheat putin large, good shocks
well capped, so as to protect it from
wet weather, which we are apt to have
for several weeks. This is the plan
the Virginia whsat-growers adopt
when they have to leave their wheat in
the field. This cannot be attended to
too soon. Delay is ruinous. After
having grown such fine wheat crop
do not lose it by neglect. Again, dam
aged wheat should be separated from
the good wheat, and threshed at diff
ferent time. The wet wheat will in
lure the dry, good wheat if put up
with it, On that account they should
be kept SEPARATE Save your wheat.
even If you haveto letother crops wait
a few days"
We would add that if the sprouted
wheat be separated from the drier, and
fed to hogs. there will be little, if any,
loss, as wheat is fine food for fatten-
ing hogs. nE.

ANOTHER SCRIMAGE IN ScUFFTowN.

was the scene of another rebellion on
Monday last. Men and women mingled
in the fray. A saloon keeper, named
Myers had his skull fractured. Mrs.
Myers was assaulted by Emma Banks,
with an ale bottle, and dragged around
promiscuously. The sheriff summon
ed help and went out and arrested all
the participants he could find-but the
man who struck Myers had ded. The
sheriff released them upon their own
reeognizance. Chief of police, Careful,
re-arrested them in the evening and
compelled them to give bond.
A. Z. Smith and Emma Banks were,
after lengthy trial, bound over in a
bond of $500 for their appearance at
criminal court.
