ROCKFORD ill.,, Jan. 29.-Our entire communi-
ty we're shocked to hear this morning that q
farmer pamed Patrick Garland. living milee
south of Rockford, and his wife, had been found
frozen to death on the road between here and
their farmhouse. The facts, as gathered by
your correspondent, Who was among the first on
the spot are Us follows Garland was dancing
on tue pavement in front Of saloon in South
Rockford ut about 4:40 p. m. Frid.y afternoon.
Ho was subsequently seen alive, accompanied by
his wifo, ut o'clock. They wero in o
lumber-wagon, driving furiously in the direction
Of their. home. Tho woman was found this
morning about mile from her residence, frozen
in the rosd, with her face completely buried in
the tlint-1ike mud. Patrick Garland WAS found
dead near heS-pan in his own BARNARD. The
finding OF the bodies was peculiarly distressing
Their son and daughter wero LET: in tho house

to stay out all night, retired to bed. THIS
morning, on awaking and going out, the SOD.
fathes's corpse near the hog-pen. He went
to neighbor for help, who suggested tLat be
should so and obtain further assistance ut the
next neiSlbor's, mile further down the road.
On his way TO this place the poor little fellow
found tho corpse Of his mother in the horriole
condition above described. What his feelings
were can hardly ba imagined.
There are many different stories atloat sa to
how the sad affair happened. There cuu be no
doubt that Garland waa intoxicated, and there
is q strong probability that his wife
was under the Influence Of liquor
South Rockford man uamed Il. P. Howe, who
saw him, IL willing to swear TO that fact. The
greatest excitement is manifest here, as the

CINCINNATI. O.. Jan. 29.-The disappearance
OF Smith n. Hawes, who retired from the Office
Of Ci:y-Trcasurer in Covington, Ky., last month,
aud the subsequent discovery of deficit in his &C.
counts Of some $4,000, has caused quite a sen
sation in that city. Nr. Hawes stood very high
in society, and many doubted the truth OF the
reported defaeation. until the reception OF an
undated letter, signed by him, acknowledging
his crime. and stating that the money had been

ports are current here that Mrs. Ellen S. Tupper
tho well-known bee culturist, has committed
several fo-geries on various banks in this State,

A CENTENNIAL CHEESE:

We see it stated that IN Ohio dai.
ryman proposes making a mammoth
cheese for the Centennial Exhibition,
which will require one days milk
from 10000 cows. The proposed
weight of the cheese is Is 900 pounds,
aud car will be made for it and up
on which it will he put to press.
This will much surpass the Canada
cheese which was made at the Inger.
soil factory. THIS cheese was six
feet ten inches III diameter, three
feet high and twenty-one feet in cir
cumterence, and weighed 1000
pounds. 1t required thirty-one tons
of milk to make it, or one milking
from 1000 COWS. II was exhibited
at the New York State Far at Sara
toga, and was aiterward exported to
England and caused a sensation
when it passed through the streets Of
London and other cities on its way
to the place Of exhibition.
In making large cheeses, unless due
caution is taken, there is difficulty in
expressing the whey, and if the
whey is not properly expelled the
cheese will be sure to turn of bad
flavor. Several large cheeses have
been injured in this way, and we
suggest to our Ohio friends to have
special care in this regard. The In.
gersoll cheese was pressed first in
small hoops, the patches of curd be-
ing no more than from so to 20
pounds; then, after the whey was
fully expelled, the small cheeses
were broken up, passed through n
curd mill and finally incorporated
in one mass, where the curds assum.

/ FEW WORDS TO FARMERS.

The acreage Of all the cereals will

centennial year a memorable one IN
the history Of the agriculture Of;
America. Every farmers boy WHY

end. that in after yean he may poilii
with pride to the productiveness Of:
the centennial year whose immensely
he helped to swell. This year is no,
for national exhibitions alone, but tor
national work as we'll. ~ -
The stock Of produce on hand III
this country is not enormous, prices
are remuncrative, live stock is not i'll
excess and rules high, while foreign
demands are increasing in every di
rection, not only for our staple cereals
but for our live stock aud mea IS, and
for our dairy and other products.
There is hardly a department OF
American farm industry in which
over production may be feared.
1t is true that there is great depres.
sion in many lines Of trade, and the
speculative balloons that were in mid.
air until the panic collaps ed them,
are now undergoing hopeless patch

another ascension. 1t is true that on
the eve Of a presidential election the
poll icians are doing much unneces

ton, "bloody shirts" and the like,
and it is true that the political world
Is rotten with corruption that is fast
being exposed to tile gaze of honest
men. and it looks as though the coun-
try was going to the dogs. But trade
and commerce have their own laws
which will soon assert themselves for
healthy reaction, the politicians will
save the country as they always have
done once in four years, and the ma
ton will become purified under the
heroic treatment that its sores are re-
ceiving, aud for US of the far there
are fertile soils, warm suns, genial
showers, plenty Of healthtnl work,
quiet lives, full granaries, and con.
