KABlErowN, May rs, 1875.

hABhEToWNS May 2o5 1875.
Dear Spirn.-I see SO many letters in
the paper, and the cne from t'Sequad is right
funny. think if 1 were the "City Council.
1 would never again undertake the a~nalyza-
ton of ''medictnaf" waters; the analysis will
throw all the victims of Imagination into a
relapse, and their ''last stage will be worse
than the FIRST"
Everything in this part Of Jefferson looks
beautiful-grass, trees, &c. The little tor
ments, the potato bugs, still exist; from the
way 1 see them bobbing and jumping around,
l think they must hold some very serious con-
situations over our little potato patches"
l see you have heard all about the ,ocn-
dertul turtle; wasn't il a monster? Ids not
know whether it will go to the Centennial or
not; l think. fix it up in Oriental style, it
would ''Pass )" anyhow, if the .'smaH' baby
can be found the ''small' cradle must go.
The merchants have ''gotten up" their sup
ply of goods from 'beloW." The prevailing
style of calico is the "Mrrtha Washington"
[ reckon it would make that placid old lady
look over her specs in borrow to be shown q
piece and be told the name.
The farmers have not yet finished planting
corn one farmer has SO many ''draw>backs"
it seems impossible for him to get through F;
his hired men plant and cover, whilst he
stands, or runs, as the case demands, with
sticks and stones to keep the neighboring
poultry from seeing that it is covered deep
enough.
l beg you will get the Centennial earning,
and print it in your paper for the benefit of
tho poor henighted Kabietonians, who still
persist in their determination to visit the ILL.,
fHted grounds. 1 will close now, but perhaps
will write again. Yours truly,

COL. JOIN JOHNSON.

MI. Spirt:-I notice by some of the
papers of central West Virginia, that Col.
John johnson, of Mineral county, has been
named as a suitable person for State Super
insendens of Free Schools. The recommen.
dation is a good one, and if Col. johnson
should be nominated at Charleston, he will
administer the school law of the State to the
satisfaction of the people. Being a tax
payer, a scholar, and a farmer, his nomination
will be a happy compromise between the
Eastern and Western portions of the State.

LETTER FROM MISSOURI.
New PALESTINE, COOPER Co., Mo,
Man % 1OEE

New PALESTINE, COOPER Co, Mo-,
May %, 1876.
-Mr. Hdines:
DEAF SIR 81 receive your paper regularly
every week, and must ask pardon for not re-
mitting dues. 1 have often read in its
columns of distress in Missouri, but never
have your patrons realized the extent of the
suffering that has been endured in this State
for the last eighteen months. In the winter
of n and 10 there was not half corn enough
to winter the stock of this State, and count,
less numbers of stock died of starvation that
never was known to any but their ~neighbors.
1 have known Instances where horses died
at the doors of tho owner and the inmates
were not able to feed themselves, for grain
was not to be had at any price. Spring was
late in 1879, and cattle went to the creeks
and ate a poison known by the name of buck
eye, and they died in such numbers that it
was impossible for persons living on the
greeks to keep their doors open for the stencil
of dead animals that were strewn along the
creeks- The poor were the greatest sufferers.
1had planted fifty acres of corn, and did not
harvest sixty barrels in all. Winter came on
aud l was able to feed my stock on but
used l put on fodder and straw. We were
~ &c q mugs aHu III STOCK nOgS
dled at their feeding places of starvation this
Fas heartrendiug to witness, but nevertheless
true. In March rs our supply of corn was
exhausted. Corn was shipped to this State
and sold at fabulous prices, and we bought
enough to plant another crop. We planted
another and raised the largest ever known in
tho State by the Oldest, for which we can get
hut 20 cents per bushel-
We escaped the grasshoppcrs last summer,
but our time is coming now. On our farm
you can fnd them at every step like a swarm
OF bees fresh from The hive. This is not an
exception, on every farm there are just as
mnuy. They are so numerous tina. their num-
Der is sufficient to eat up every thing green.
The spring is SO late and cold that not one
man, to my knowledge, has planted corn at
this late day. The wheat is backward if lie.
alone cannot make more than a fifth of a crop.
Fruit all killed. Respectfully yours,
A. NJ. CHAMBERLAIN.
