A SAMPLE of barley, grown on the
farm of j. Ham Shuts, this county,
was handed us few days ago. We
think this is the first attempt to raise
this cereal over made in Ohio county,
the seed was procured from the Agri-
cultural Department by Sam X. Cox,
and given Mr.. Shuts to experiment
with. We are not well enough ac-
quainted with this kind of grain to
pass an opinion on its quality, but such
projects having for their object the
laudablc purposes Of improving the
agricultural resources of our county,
and demonstrating what it is capable
of producing, merits the commenda-
tons of every citizen that has the
welfare Of the county at heart.

Poisonous Reptiles and insects

Poisonous Reptiles and Insects
Considering the number and variety
ofpoisonOus reptilcsand insects, abound
ing almost everywhere in tho United
States, it is not surprising that eases Of
death resulting from their bites are FIRE,
quently recorded in tho public press.
But it docs seem strang that in this land
of knowledge, people should through
ignorance give themselves upto die
after being bitten, when a cure can be
speedily effected in the worst cases by
the timely use of that simple romedy,
the SEVEN SEALS OR GOLDEN Won.
DER. the proprietors of the great med,
icine have a large number of bona tdc
certificates in their possession, attesting
the most wonderful cures of venomous
reptiles.
The SEVEN SEALS has been found
equally eflicaciOus when applied to bee
stings, which, MS is We know, often
times prove fatal to the sufferer.
Aches and pains of every description,
whether acute or chronic, are almost in,
stantly relieved by the application Of
the SEVEN SEALS to the parts affected.

GOOD ADVICE TO BOYS.


The boy who spends an hour of each
evening lounging idly on the street
corners wastes in the conrse of year
three huadred and six;y-fye precious
hours. which, if applied to study,
would familiariZe him with the rudi-
ments of almost any of the familiar
sciences. If, i'm addition to wasting an
hour each evening, he spends ten cents
the amount thus worse than wasted
would pay for ten Of the leading peri
odicals of the country. Boys, think
of these things. Think of how much
time and money you are wasting, and
for what? The qualification afforded
by the lounge on the corner or the
cigar is not only temporary but posi-
lively hurtful. NOu cannot indulge
in them without seriously iniuring
yourselves. You acquire idle and
wasteful habits, which will cling to
you with each succeeding year. You
may in after life shake them off, but
the probabilities are that the habits
thus formed in early life will remain
with you to your dying day. BE
warned then in time, and resolve that
rs the hour spent in idlcness is gone
forever you will improve each passing
one and thereby fit yourself for useful.

upon either side. One hundred yards
under ground we enter spacious

40 or 80 feet wide. From the dome
hung thousands of lime formations,
resembling icicles. Near the center,
on large pedestal. is what some call
a Satan, or bronze figure. We passed
on through varied scenery until we
came to an upper room. We ascend
ed rugged, slippery stairway, some
30 feet high, to this room, which is
smaller than any of the others. it be-
ing only about 20 feet long, high and
6 wide. We went about a mile under
ground, and crossed several pools Of
water, some of them very deep. Mr..
Farmer, one of the party, went to see
how deep one of these pools was, but
accidentally went down head fret
and didn't stay long enough to learn
the exact depth, but, after blowing the
water out Of his nose, said it was
colder than spring water. One mile
within the air was very heavy, and the
wafer rises to the top of the cave, and
we could go no further,

PATRICK HENRY's PROPHECY.
a Warning Uttered fu the Virginia Con
m vention ON the Adoption of the
Constitution,

Do not the words of Patrick Henry
in the Virginia Convention on the
adoption of the Constitution of 17Ss
have especial significance at this time
a"Your President may easily become
King. Your Senate is 80 imperfectly
constructed that your dearest rights
may be sacrificed by what may be a
small majority and very small mi
nority may continue reverunchange-
ably this Government although ho-rl-
bly, defective. Where are your cheeks
inthis Government? Your strong
holds will be in the hands of your en-.
emies. 1t is on the supposition that
your American Governor shall be
honest that all the good qualities of
this Government are founded, it's Fer
feet and imperfect construction puts
1t in their power TO, perpetrate the
worst OF mischiefs should they be bad
men, And, sir, would not all the
world blame our distracted folly in
resting our rights upon the contingent
cy OF our rulers being good or bad !?
Show me that age and country, where
the rights and liberties of the people
were placed on the chance of their
rulers being good men, without con-
sequent loss Of liberty. say that the
loss of that dearest privilege has ever
followed, with absolute certainty. ev-
cry such mad attempt. If your Amer
ican chief be man of ambition and
abilities, how easy will it be for him
to render himself absolute The army
is in his hands, and if he be man OF
address it will be attached to him,
and it will be the snbiect of long med ;
itation with him to seize the first aus
picious moment TO accomplish his de-
sign. Aud, sir, will the American
spirit solely relieve you when this
happens? 1 would rather have q
King, Lords and Commons, than a
government SO replete with such in
evils. If we make Kin. !,
we may prescribe the rules by which
he shall rule his people; but the Pres

which he shall reign master, SO far
that it will puzzle any American even

A MOUHNFUL CITY.

The following extract is from a let
ter written by Prof. Sumner, of Yale
College, in regard to Louisiana
New Orleans to-day is the most
mournful city l ever cav. The city
itself is squaIid and wreiched in ap-
pearance, and the people are dispirit-
ed. saw no probability at all where
there could be any use for troops. The
grave importance of the situation
seemed to me to lie in it's national as-
poets. The Federal power has twice
interviewed in New Orleans to sustain
the Returning Board In setting aside
the will of the people as expressed by
an election on the ground that they
did not coincide with the will of the
people as expressed by the census.
Federal interference is the key to the
situation. Without it the Returning
Board would have to exercise its great
and dangerour power under RESPONSE.
bility to public opinion at least. With
that interference the Returning Board
is an engine of tyranny. which is the
more frightful because its acts under
grotesque travesty of Republican
government. The people of the
North have too long neglected the case
of Louisiana to become, inside of our
republic, an instance of fiagrant op-
preston and wrong as any which, in
history or foreign lands, has ever en-
listed our sympathies. 1t has, how
ever, been like cancer in our body
polite, and, at this moment, when it
is eating into Presidential election,
the great nerve of our political system,
when, too, the Federal Administration
and the Federal arms are still enforc-
ing the wrong, we are told that the
principles of estates rights" and s'lo-
cal self government" command us to
let it alone. We were told at New
Orleans that the Returning Board
must act under the law. So indeed it
must, for the forms of the law are
sacred but there is an appeal which
cannot be in vain TO the sober reason
and honorable will Of the American
people. The law which commands
obedience because it is the ill of the
governed is one thing. The law
which the people who live under it
meyer consented to and never made is
another thing; aud those who rely
upon its sanction for arbitrary and un-
just action bring law under the most
dangerous contempt, When the peo-
pie Of the country appreciate the fact
that it is their power which has i'm
posed upon Louisiana this monstrous
tyranny, their power cannot longer be
turned in that direction.
