WhIttling Strangers out of Mormondom.

A duty assigned to the police was to watch all strangers that came into the city, and whittle every suspicious person out of town. This whiting process was peculiar, Some ten or fifteen Mormons would get around the man they wanted to drive away, each with keen ground butcher knife, and piece of soft wood in his hand. They would crowd close up to him and commence whiting, all cut. ting toward him, but no one apparently paying the least attention to the stranger Surrounded and threatened thus, the poor man was compelled to retreat from the town. On his retreat he was sur rounded by whittlers whittling, whit tling, some of them make skittish lunges toward his breast and arms. If he took his escort quietly, very we'll. If he was foolish enough to resist or threaten, he was very likely to be put out of the way From Supplemental Contessioa of Lha D. Ice

You can dc no harm with ten bushels to the acr. but half bushel is ample. Dry slacked lime is also effeetual. Po- tato-bugs find their "auti" in paris greer, one tablespoonful; flour, ten spoonfuls; water, one bucket; mix and keep mixed as the paris-green settles !; apply with water-pot. For cabbage worms apply dry salt if the plants are wet, or strong brine if they are dry: Turnip-fies are destroyed by fine slaked lime dusted over the field. But the whole tribe of depredators are wonder fully kept down by making friends with the birds. They are the natural enemies of all insects, worms, grubs, etc. In fighting vermin we must not try to ops pose nature, but to rather follow her plans, and assist her if she fails.-- Vest eya Farmer.

wOMAN's COLUMN.
A. on rslsl Tale.

& recollect one certain night in June ct seems to nc our nights are desrer than ou wnsn wIas' dust of siIver from the moon GAS some familiar poet saysl Feii softly on tho ses and land. It was the night of nights pray tell what harm Fair youth and beauty, arm in arm, To saunter down the yellow sand ? I quite forgot jnst how 1t came about; There was an earnest word, two hands held out, And then upon his breast
 In momentary rest; The mobile mouth and tender eyes Were turned to him In glad surprise. It was 90 very, very nice. you know, To press her sea-:ide hat against his vest sweet foretaste of Heaven, although The rest w as only momentary rest, For with remorseful start she said: "AlSs aiasi for me,
 It cannot, cannot be! Tomorrow week am to we'd" How small word will grind the heart to dust A breath of air will break the thread On which VI hang our trust,
 And while his lips were white and mute, He took from her the Dead Sea fruit, And simply bowed his head. An oft-told tale: 1t was the wealth of youth and hope axd matohess health, It WAS the opuencc of brawny arms, Against ive-twenties and hundred farms. Back to his dull unconscious books He went, with bruised heart and sharpened
 brain,
 To school his thoughts and mask his looks, And nurse purpose born of pain. A trifle cynical he seems, and vet He may, perhaps, forget, Hard hit," Sir Blaise says In wel1-bred slang, He sees the symptoms and has felt the papg. Brave hearts do sometimes vince. he knows; Will vince, and still not whine, If once there is no color to the rose, No sparkle to the wine.  And she, she plays her welded part Right royalty, with subtle art,
 And wears with pride her gilded chain; But for the semblance of a heart
 We seek in vain. The man whose name she bears Is old, and gray, and bent with cares; But then, but then,
 He is the prince of men, For she is mistress of tho Riverside, And has brown-stone front in town beside. Time brings reprisals 10 us all,
 And soon or late we learn the truth That stately pride will have its fall,
 And that one little heait, forsootb,
 Outweighs it all.

Settling Coffee.

This can be done without anything being put into your coffee to settle it. It only wants to be known how to handle li Put your ground coffee into the coffee>pot, and add cold water sufficient fer use, if but a few cups are wanted Set on the stove and keep there until the boiling point is reached, but in no ease boil. This requires some watching toward the last. It is better to set it off few minutes before boiling than to have it boil up. Immediately when set off stir the surface with spoon. This can be done two or three times in as many minutes. Then let it rest. In about ten minutes time it will all be sunk to the bottom and fit to pour out Where more than few cups are wanted, more water (hoD may be added when the cofIee>pot is removed from tho stove, or hot water may be used to dilute the coffee when it is poured out, as is some> times done with tea. In this way your coffee is clear and sparkling. and, what
 is of equal importance, it will retain all it's fine flavor and exhilarating proper ties, which, had it been boiled, would have been thrown off Be particular in carrying out directions to the letter. You will soon get the hang of it, and thank us for the directions, simple as they are.-Indidna FarB,er.

COMMON PLEAS.

The State against George Herfel. In
this case Judge Johnston heard an ap
plicaLion for the release of the defend
ant on bail. The bail was fixed at $1,5O0
and the bond was signed by Gilbert
Dater, Of Green Township.
In the case OF John Nj. Mueller against
the Phillips Coai Elevator Company: the
plaintiff has filed a petition alleging that
the defendants are indebted to him in
the sum OF $765 IS, with interest from
June l, 1877, witch sum is due as rent
tor CERTAIN property, and for this amount
he claims judgment. The defendant
claims That plaintiff has failed to cbm
ply with certain agreement made as re-
CARDS amount of rent to be paid.
Judge Johnston, in dispOsing of the
case, said 1t appeared that the parties
uad never yet mad trial in torclble de-
tanner as to the right Of the possession
OF these premises, and it was but proper
That an opportunity should be afforded.
He thought the rights of both parties
will be iully protected in this case by
granting an injunction against any fur
Lher suits in lorcible detainer than the
one now pending, and by granting an
Injunction against any further suits for
rent until the one now pending be de.
clded, such injunction to include tie

and the defendants can give bond in the
sum of $1,000. An order Of the Court
was accordingly entered to that effect.
An application was made for the dis
charge Of George Hertel, charged with
assaulting Adam Gluck last Sunday
night. After hearing the circumstances
OF the case Judge Johnston fixed his
bond at 81 500 and released the prisoner.

MORE BURGLARIES.


Still AT 1t, ana NO Arrests.
The city during the past few weeks
has been thoroughly infested with
thieves and burglars, and hardly any
arrests have been made. Last night, or
rather early this morning, they were at
it again.
The tailor shop of Conrad Fromm, No.
1865 Elm street, was entered by burglars
about O'Clock. At that time the pr-
Yate watchman on that square found the
place all right, but on passing it again,
fifteen minutes atterWard, he found the
front window broken and the back doors
open. The place had been robbed OF
three coats, nine pairs OF pants aud one
vest, valued in all at over $50.
The confectionery shop Ut Chas. Lev
erone, No. 16l West Fourth street, about
half square away from Fromm's, was
also entered by burglars. AT 6 O'Clock
this morning the milkman found the
front, doors open. The thieves had OBJ
tanned an entrance through the transom.
They took all the cigars in the house,
opened lot of liquor bottles, drank a
quantity OF champagne and several
other costly wines, and then taking all
the change out OF the money-drawer,
broke off both of the locks on the front
door and decamped. This is the second
time tnat this place was lately burglar
lied. Last Friday week ago the place
was robbed OF $52 in the same way.
Thieves also entered the office of
Fleischmann g. Gaff, distillers, in the
second story OF l6l West Fourth street
and after riding the place Of all its valu-
ables departed. s Sveral other cases
have occurred lately in this neighbor-
hood, but no arrests have ever been
made.

ticket agent of the Little Miami Rail

aud dealers will not make the mistake
of not cooperating with them. The
managers have large force engaged in
putting the grounds and buildings in
condition, and all manufacturers aud
dealers desiring space should make ap-
pllcatlon at once, as no more room will

may conclude to exhibit at a late date,
and do not find the accommodations de-
sired, must blame no one except them
selves. No charge will be made for
