APreacher Cuts His Own Throat.

Great excitement exists along the line
of Linn and johnson Counties, Iowa, over
the attempted suicide of enc of the best
known and most highly esteemed preach
ers of that vicinity, the Rev. A. Crowell,
of Shueyville, minister of the United
Brethren Church. The circumstances of
the case, related at length by the cores
pondent of the Cedar Rapids Republican,
we condense below as follows: Mr.. Crow
ell has been somewhat ill and mentally de
pressed for several days, but the physi-
clan in attendance had no doubt that he
would be well i'm few days. About noon
of the I'D, when the doctor called, he was
startled at a change that had taken place
he told Mrs. Crowell that her husband
was much worse, and he feared he would
have to be taken to the insane asylum.
The change was of mental character
rather than physical, for Mr.. Crowell was
still able to walk about the premises. After
the doctor left some time in the afternoon,
MIR. Crowell expressed desire to 90 to
Father Kephart's (his wife's father, about
forty rods distant. His wife endeayOred
to dissuade him, but he insisted, and she
watched him as he went until ne entered
the gate. He talked awhile with Father
Kephart, who was digging potatoes; then
with John kephart who lived
on an adjacent lot; then started for Father
Kephart's house, and those outside sup
posed that he entered. BY and by Father
Kephart came into the house, and a neigh
Dor, who chanced to be in the house, asked
where Mr.. Crowell was. This surprised
Father Kephart, who had supposed him
to be in the house, and a search was made
for him. He was found in the cellar of
the wash-house, on his hands and knees.

reaching any of the large veins or arteries
of the neck. Surgical aid was instantly
sent for, and the wound sewed up, but the
chances of his recovery are few. Mr.. &.
has been an itinerant minister in the Uni
Brethren Church for twenty years; has
always maintained an irreprOachable
character, and received the confidence of
all who knew him. Last fall he was tax
en- severely i'll with spinal fever, and for a
time was deprived of his reason, but final
ly recovered and enjoyed fair health, so as
to take charge of his field of labor and fill
his appointment during the winter, but
he was lately taken i'll again, with the re-
suit as above given. His wife is sister of
President Kephart, of Cornell College;
she has been terribly afflicted with rheU-
matism for year past, and this blow falls
upon her and her children with crushing
effect

Col. Smith, of Kansas.

We were not at all surprised when we
read in the dispatches that Miss Ida Gree
ley would shortly be married to Colonel
Nicholas Smith, of Kansas. What young
lady in the East would not be proud to
marry a gentleman with "COlOnel - be-
fore his name and - of Kansas =" after it !?
And who so likely to carry off matri-
monial prize in the matrimonial lottery as
Colonel Nicholas Smith, or, to write the
whole of it, Colonel Verres Nicholas
Smith, of Kansas 2.
For the benefit of late comers in Kansas,
and also for the ediication of the friends
of the Greeleys and the Smiths abroad, it
is proper to remark that Col. Smith is an
ancient Kansas Institution. He has long
been, what Web. Wilder calls = one of
our things" 1t was away back in 1861
that Verres Nicholas Smith figured in
Lawrence as "lOcal " on a newspaper, on
which John Speer displayed his unequaled
talents as "business manager" and man.
aging editor. Smith was the first and last
" local" " editor in this State who wore
good clothes. He always wore them.
This tendency to array himself in
gorgeous apparel made him a marked
man. Speer marked him one day for a
few gross of assorted curses. because he
refused to cross the street to the office and
go to work, for fear of getting his boots
muddy. 1t was in those days that John
James Ingalls, got down ON V. n. D. and
wrote ''piece " for the papers about him,
in which he was spoken of as g Very Ridi-
culous Smith," All the historians of that
period agree in stating that this made
Smith fearfully mad.
All the jibes and sneers of his fellow
citizens, however, did not shake Smiths
iron determination to look "nice." OF a
bright evening in summer it was no un-
common thing to see Verres Nicholas
riding on horseback. arrayed in spOtless
white, with newspapers wrapped around
his Symmetrical legs to keep them from
getting soiled.
When the war broke out, Smith,
through the influence of Gen. Lane, was
appointed captain in the regular army;
this position he resigned 10 marry Ken
lucky lady of fortune, who died few
years since.
Our Smith is an eminently fine-looking
man. of much and varied reading, and
would doubtless have stood high had he
not appeared among US with his ''store

The increase of population in Texas, the
encrOachments of soil culture upon pas
turage, and the extension of cattle-driving
and shipment, are rapidly diminishing the
proportion of numbers of stock TO popula-
ton. In 1860 there were 4S5 stock cattle
and 80 cows to each 100 of population in
1870, though herds increased during the
war, there were but 374 and 81 respective
", by census computation. The order of
precedence, at the former date, of States
having more "oXcn and other cattle than
people, are: Texas, California, Florida,
Oregon, Washington Territory, and Ne
braska; in 1870 there were only Texas,
Florida, and Washington Territory.
An increase in both milch cows and
other cattle. in proportion to advance in
population, is made only in Iowa, DakO-
Ia, and Kansas, but the proportion of cows
has also increased in New York, Wiscon-
sin, and Minnesota. This advance is due
TO the growth of the dairy interest in New
I ork, and mainly in the other States TO
the comparative assumption by stock
growing of its proper position in farm
economy of the more recently-Settled
prairie States. r-.
There is wide variation in prices in DIFF
ferent sections of this pastoral area. In
the mining territories the demand for
working oxen, beef, and milk, not to men
ton butter and cheese, has generally ex-
ceeded the supply and kept prices we'll
advanced. Texas, with immense herds,
without railroads or near markets, is con-
tent with the lowest rates known in the
United States, and able to supply hun
dreds of thousands annually. three-year-
olds and upward, to the feeders and pack
ers ofthe States, and younger stock 10 the
stock ranches and ranges of the terrific
ries. The following averages, from Off
cial returns, represent very fairly these
differences in prices of mich cows:

The Latest Form Of Inebriety-And its

In December, 1S71, when medical men

Stables became chloralist, together with
other friends, who quickly suecumbed
and died, having passed through the ago
nies of despair characteristic of the later
stages of chlOralism. Being OverwOrkCd,
he could not sleep, and took twenty grains
of chloral. whereupon he slept like top
until morning. Having repeated the dose
every night for week he tried TO sleep
one night without it and failed. he OF
course took to it again and found after
some time that he had little satisfaction
from his sleep. Aftera month he began 10
feel a strange heat on the top Of his head,
together with a sense of fulness in it. and
his nerves began to be shaken. At length
he had TO fly into the country, and what

chaos. His ewes are constantly dilated,
and the least excitement runs his pulse
from sixty to hundred. He takes three
drains of chloral when he goes TO oed-a
dose sufficient to kill as many men. Three
months pass, and he is taking three and
half drains at bed time and one at early
morning; can barely walk one hundred
Yards without sitting or lying down; the
irritability of the brain is changed into
agony, if he attempts to rise from chair,
there is a horrible sense of stranguiatiOn.
Three months more, and he is pronounced
gone with heart disease, and
he constantly contemplates suicide. He
has lost all power of reading, writing, or
speaking aloud. and toward night every
vein seems infiamed and swollen 70 double

ical man, another arrives, who destroys
all his chloral, and informs him that his
heart is not diseased, but only weakened
by the poison imbibed.
The first night passed without chloral
was dreadful-sleep impossible; and for
over a week he never slept wink. He
became delirious, but recovery came at

The rapid increase of population in thi,

profitable than raising cattle. The beef

however, that beeves should be finished

made very much like the rye gems, only
one-fourth of the meal should be corn
meal, of medium fineness. 1t does very
well without scalding, though in that case
it should be baked very thoroughly. If
scalded, it should be mixed so thick that
the gems will need TO be smOothed down
with wet spoon before putting them into
the oven. Otherwise they will seem soft
and mushy. Ifrather soft, let them stand
some minutes after taking them out of the
oven before serving them. This will do
them more good than trying to bake them
dry in the oven.
