Halt fare on the railroads was secured
for delegates and others who desired to at
tend the Democratic State Convention on
Wednesday. 1t was considerate in the
railroad management to give eight days,
from the 10Th to the 23l, to go and return.
1t wos to be expected that it would take
some little time TO adjust the financial
question, then E len Park and the animals
of the Zoo-Zoo Garden must be seen, and
last, but not least, Cincinnati Lager is re-
garded by Democrats as health giving
beverage, and some may be detained Oh
that account.

New York Times: Never was there n
more unfortunate victory for the Democrats
than that which gave them control of the
House this year. 1t was 80 much easier
tor them to criticise the Republican policy
than to construct one of their own. The
members are afraid Of their party, of the
House, and even of themselves. Is all this
calculated to induce the people to entrlst
the whole business of the country TO the
Democrats next November? Even Mr..
Cox, in his most frolicsomo moments,
would hesitate to say that it is.

Republican Victories.

The present promises to be a glorious
year for Republican victories. Straws and
driftwood show the course of wind and
stream. From the beginning Of the cur
rent year the great majority of the munic-
ipal elections have, as is usual in the Pres
ideniial period, been decided on partisan
prOclivities and interests. In New Eng
land we have witnessed increased Repubi-
can activity and in consequence large Re
publican gains; but the greatest victory
achieved was that in Indiana, decidedly
doubtful State. The result OF the munich
pal elections therein surprise even the
most sanguine Republicans. The city Of
indianapolis was carried by Republican
majority of 4,3l5, and this, too, in the face
OF an apportionment expressly made by
a Democratic Common Council to prevent
it, and in despite Of violent riot designed
to deter voters.
The Republicans also carried Lafayette
Fort Wayne, South Bend, Terre Haute
Laporte, Richmond, Rochester, Wabash
Franklin, Warsaw, Lebanon, Crawfords.
willie, Elkhart, Greensburg, Greencastle
Shelbyyille, Kokomo, Bloomington, Con
norsville, and Madison out Of the twenty
five principal places in the State. Ply
mouth, Valparaiso, Logansport, and New
Albany alone were carried by the Demoe
Tacy. In Shelbyville, usually Democratic
and the home Of Governor IIENDRIcKs, the
Republicans carried every ward. Ther'
are many other changes quite asstriking.
Similar reports come from all quarters.
The Illinois town elections are general,
IN the same groove. So with those Of Kan
sas, Nebraska, California, etc. If these in
dications are signs OF significant portent
then the prospects for Republican victory
through hard work and strong nomina
HONS, are very encouraging,

Pnnlslled a Thlcf.-On Wednesdnv

Punished a Thief.-On Wednesday
stout man, dressed ns a mechanic, appeared
at the mill OF Mr.. JAS. p. AvERTLL on a
tour of inspection. His actions attracted
the attention Of JosEPH IIEFFERMAN, who
kept an eye on him. lie finally walked
out of the mill into the engine room and
was soon followed by JosEPH, who called
his attention to q card on the door which
said "No Admittance." lie claimed to
be an engineer on the d. & NJ. Road, and
said he just dropped in to look at the ma
chinery. JOSEPH helped him out with the
toe of his boot as he seemed loath to go
otherwise, and in so doing discovered one
OF the wrenches belonging to the mill in
his coat pocket. JOSEPH knocked him
down and gave him n good trouncing,
| when the fellow begged to be spared and
for him to have mercy on his poor wife
and children. The wrench was all that
was found on his person at the time and he
was allowed to depart. On going back in
to the engine room several small articles
| were missing, such as tri-squnre, oil cnn
wrenches, &c. JOSEPH caught him at the
| top OF the hill, gave him another trouncing
aud went through him. 1t was found that
I he had on three pairs of overalls, two
shirts, and had the goods secreted IN the
pockets of his under garments. lie was
! allowed to depart without arrest, as he had
been pretty we'll punished for the amount
of plumber he received.

There is no doubt but what the citizens Of
Tontogany and the members of the Wood

county historical address will be one OF
tho important features on this OCCASION
aud as Judge FULLER, President of the

facts of Importance, will communicate the

The Associated Press account says that
when the Presidents "absence" message
was read in the House il was received with
cool dIsdain on tho Democratic side and
with evident enjoyment on the Republican
side. This is correct in part, no doubt, bu,
the "cool disdain" spoken of would have
been better described as the feeling of a
well-spanked prehin who has been detected
in some piece o: dirty mischief. GRANT
and MORTON seem to worry the members
Of the Confederate Congress now as in
lS6l'5. They may learn, with a proper
amount Of experience, that il is dangerous
to tread ON their corns.

SMALL FRUITS IN GARDENS.


But few people seem TO know the value
of small fruits TO family when grown in
their own gardens. You commence with
strawberries they continue about month.
You pick, perhaps from six TO twelve
quarts day. You have them on your
table as dessert, if you please, at noon,
and your tea-table is loaded with them at
evening, and you want little else but your
bread and butter. Your family consume
in one way or another about eight quarts n
day, and while they last no me Iicines for
bodily ailments are required, MS quart Of
strawberries Caily will generally dispel all
ordinary diseases not settled permanently
in the system. After Strawberries, rasp-
berries come to continue about three
weeks; then we have blackberries where
the climate is hot too cold for the cultivated
varieties; then the currents ripen, which
remain till tho early grapes mature; and
taking the season through any family with
half acre of land in a garden can grow
small fruits that make country life delight
! ful, and at the same time hundreds of dol
lars can be saved in the supply of the ta-
bic, rs the writer knows from 40 years eI-
perence.

CORN CULTURE.

If one were to try to grow the greatest
possible crop of corn per acre, he should
apply the manure spread upon the land,
the more the greater the crop, then ma
nure literally in the hill. Probably the
hill system, rows about three and half
feet apart, and hills the same distance, or
little less apart, cannot be improved. The
land should be plowed according to its
condition. A swnrd turned over six inches
and laid fiat will bear good crop. A
deep rish soil not in sward should not be
plowed deeper than n pair of horses can
easily do Mt 4 smart walk, while light soil,
with barren sub-soil, should never 60
into the sub-soil, except when the soil is
well-dressed with barnyard manure, and
then only an inch or so should be turned
up. Chemical fertilizers may he worth
their cost and they may be frauds conse-
quently, the barnyard manure is the only
safe reliance. The following is some OF
the best chemicals: Sulphate of amonia,
sulphate of potash, muriate Of potash, Ger
man potash salts, and nitrate of potash.
These articles may be used singly or mixed.
They should be mi xel with soil according
to their bulk and strength, and handful
put in hill of whatever is planted; but
they are profitable only when bought OF
Wholesale dealers at the lowest market
prices,

PLANTING MELONS,

Hog manure, when well decomposcd
with its attendant litter, is the best fertil-
izer for melons, squashes, and cucnmbers.
When that is not to be had, use the best
well-rotted barnyard manure that you have.
Put two shovelfuls in hill, mixed thor
oughly with the soil. Let the seeds when
covered be about level with the surface of
the adjoining ground, 10 or IL to a hill, to
be thinned out to three or four plants, COW
er about an inch deep with soil that does
not form hard crust after n rain, and
when the plants come up place boxes, open
Mt both ends, over them to protect the plant
from bugs. These boxes need not be made
of boards over six or eight inches wide f;
and they are a sure preventative Of the
depredations by bugs as they fly near the
ground, and the growing plants are not
seen by them. Land plaster is good to
keep away all insects from plants where
they are not otherwise protected. A little
should be sprinkled on them in the morn
ing while the dew is on Ashes and every
other substance that will stick to the plants
will keep away the bugs.

1t is generally considered that pear
