Trenton Letter.

TRENTON, Wis, July II, 1876.
Ed. Grange Adcance:
The busy time has now come and
farmers are now in their hay.felds.
The rye harvest is about over, and
wheat will be started on next week.
The late drouth has made an alteration
in the looks of the crops, and we may
have but small yield after ull. Wages
have the appearance Of being lower
than last year, at least less is being
paid in haying.
A ''sucker'' was caught recently in
the river near the levee at Trenton
weighing l301s pounds. This is the
largest fish we nave on record in this
vicinity.
J. G. Arnold had the largest and best
orchard of currants we ever saw, and
we believe it the best in the county.
MIR. A. has also fine lot Of apple tree &
and the fruit on them now looks hand
somely.
Seth Lyons has the best stand of
corn hereabouts.
The Dewey Harvester, new machine
manufactured at Red Wing, was tried
here last week and we think it gave
better satisf action than all the others
Corn cultivators are all the rage the
old corn pillow is laid aside and the farm.

fury back.
We spoke of farmers in one of our
recent letters, as not being respected
now as they were hundred years ago.
You seemed to have got the wrong
meaning. We know that their advan-
tages are greater now than then, but a
hundred years back farmers had voice
everywhere, and they were classed
among the first men of the land. To-
day, where are they? Can we elect a
true farmer to congress? Just re-
member what time there was in elect
ing VIM. Taylor as governor Of this
State. We can get land spectators
and those of the money ring, but an
honest farmer, unless he buys his way
IN, cannot set an Office, and we state
again, "No country will prosper where
the farmers are so oppressed as the
farmers Of these United States are
now" TRrNroH1rE.

Whole Number 1865.

BY the bubble that the Domesdav
Book shows that there are s72,s36
persons owning land in England and
Wales. Mr.. Bright answers this
concluslvely with the statement:
sYou get this grand total by an
illusory reckoning. You count ali the
small holdings OF garden ground
the patches Of a few yards or a
few roods, or of a quarter of
an acre apiece, that are attached
to house property, but these do not
represent a proprietary that lives by
possession. ." The exclusion made
by Mr. Bright is justified by the
facts brought out in the census. It
has confirmed his charges IN letter
and in spirit. It shows that nearly
nine-tenths of the total area Of land
In the Kingdom is held by 1900
persons instead of 10000, as Mr..
Bright alleged.

The man-eatina Tlger.


DR.. Fayrer caused some sensation
by showing that during the one year.
1869, 6,2l9 deaths from snake-bites
occurred in the Bengal Presidency
alone, among a population of some
thing mere than forty-eight millions
of souls. tie now horrifies us with
accounts of the devastation caused
by man-eating tigers. which occa-
sionally caused villages, and even
whole districts, to be deserted. In
one instance, in the Central Provin-
ces, a single tigress caused the deser-
tion of thirteen villages, while two
hundred and fifty square miles of
country were thrown cut Of cultiFa-
tion before the creature was shot.
Another tigress, in 1869, killed
one hundred and twenty-seven peo-
pie, and stopped public road for
many weeks before it, too, succumb-
ed to an English sportsman. Ia 1868,
the magistrate of Godavery reported
that part of the country overrun
with tigers, no road safe, and that a
tiger had charged a large body of
villagers within few hundred yards
of the civil station.
1t is impossible to give accurate
statistics for the whole of so vast
country as Hindoostan but Jerdon
corroborates these statements by as
serting that in the district east of
Jubbulpore, in 1867, and previous
years, on an average between two
hundred and three hundred villagers
were killed annually. So
Tigers apparently develop into
maneaters when they are old and
sluggish, and their teeth are some
what decayed. Preferring human.
flesh, they ind, that when once the
awe natural to wild animals at the
presence of man is shaken of, that
he offers an easy and tempting prey.
In some districts they abound, while
in Others, as in Dude and RohiIcuud.
one is only heard of about every six
years. 5a sasls1
The natives are extremely super
stitious respecting tigers, and in
many parts dread the wrath Of the
tiger's spirit almost more than they
fear the creature when alive. The
small elayieles, or shoulder bones,
which are deeply imbedded in muscle,
are esteemed valuable charms while
every sportsman, or, indeed, every
one who is familiar with tiger-skins,
knows how difficult it is to save the
tigers claws. The whiskers are i'm
mediately plucked out by the sports
mems servants, on the tiger being
shot, before their master can come
up, as they are deemed a valuable
loye-philter. Those who are most
vigorously honest in all other re-
spects cannot refrain from thus mu-
tilating skin. ~ 9aim
On the spot where a tiger has
slam a human being, in the district
around Mirzapore, the natives erect
a curious eoDicle mound of earth,
which is ornamented with some
colored wash for a coating, q few
flowers, and one or more singularIy
shaped pieces of pottery. 1t is con
sidered sacriIege to touch these, aud
once year the inhabitants of the
neighboring villages visit the mem
orials and worship there.

Private expeditions leave Yankton
daily, at which city a miners outfit
can be obtained at very reasonable
prices. Good miners flour is worth
from 81 to $3.50 per hundfedweight,
corn and oats sell for 25 cents a
bushel, and bacon at Is cents a
pound. Wagons can be bought at
anywhere from $65 to Ss5, oxen
from $50 to 100 a yoke, and horses
from S75 to sl25 apiece. Oxen are
most used on account of the heavy
labor necs ssary to be done.
1t has been the custom of certain
individuals to band together here in
Chicago and other cities, to open an
Office aud to invite emigrants to Join
the company" pay an initiation
fee of SIS or so, and then have the
pleasure of starting for the Black
Hills as amemberOf the acompany, y
--and Of paving the regular railroad
rates besides. These gentlemen told
the reporter that emigrants can buy
their tickets of the railroads just as
eheaply as any s'companE" can buy
them. and thatthe money invested
in company was simply thrown
away. 1t appearsn that $54.65 will
take man from here to the Black
Hills by railroad, stage, aud boat,
and that $37.65 will do the business
if he goes by railroad and stage.
These and many other things the
gentlemen told the reporter, all
going to show that the Black Hills
country was easy of access, that it
cost little to get there, and when
you were once there you could con-
slider your fortune made, such is the
ease with which miners pick up the
golden sands, The gentlemen also
had some very fine specimens of
Dakota's agricultural products in the
shape Of wheat, corn, oats, barley,
etc. These also went to show that
Dakota is a wonderful country, and
that the Black Hills constitute the
chief glory thereof. gs - ess-
