The poorest piece OF wheat we have heard OF
yielded four bushels per acre. The best that has
been threshed in this vicinity tailed twenty-six
bushels per acre on the entire crop. Ii belong
cd TO William Hall, who raised three varieties
-Clswson, Treadwell and Diehl.
Quite lively runaway occurred here on last
Friday evening. William Barker, OF Yicksburg.
and hi brother Frank, sons OF Thomas Barker,
ESQ.,, were riding along. when the horses be-
came frightened at something near the road
side, and gave jump and then stopped short,
which would have been the end OF the affair if
Frank had stopped too, but he kept right on
over the dash board. taking with him tin can
containing some water and small fish which he
was taking home to put in their water tank.
At this point the horse Int out and Will, in
trying to save his brother. was thrown off his
guard and the horse became unmanageable.
viii, was thrown out and barely escaped being
dashed against a rail fence, which the horse
scaled, taking the buggy with him. The horse
then run quartering across the lot and jumped
another fence, and this time clearing himself
from the buggy which was left in demoralized
condition. The strangest part is that neither
occupant of the buggy was seriously hurt, but
Fra nix lost his fish.
At the quarterly meeting held at the church
last Sabbath. eight ministers were present.
Elder Tompkns, from Kalamazoo, was the
only one who preached, however.
Theodore Chamberlain has the best piece of
corn we have seen in the county tins season.
Threshlng machines are so plenty that some
of the proprietors are so anxious to secure
jobs they offer to turn in and bind oats and
help get ready to thresh. AT least this is the
story they tell OF one another.

else to do besides quarreling with their friends
and neighbors. II is true we have now and

the parties engaged in them are ashamed to

In a recent discourse Rabbi Hirsch, Of Balti-
more, denied that the jews crucified Jesus, lie
said:
In all the Hebrew laws there ia not one
word anywhere about crucrixion, which was
never inflicted by the jews. The time Jesus
was crucifed was at the approach OF the Sab
bath, day greatly honored by the jews. and ii
was contrary to all law to infiict the death pen
atty at that Tune. The Romans, however. know
dersion the jewish Sabbath, and in manner
most acceptable TO the Romans, inflicted the
Roman mode of punishment. The jewish priest

There is a world OF truth in the folowin
from the Rev. Dewitt Talmage:

There is a world OF truth in the following
from the Rev. Dewitt Talmage;
Zone of the greatest trials OF the newspaper
profession is that its members are compelled
to see more OF the shams OF the world than any
other profession. Through every newspaper
office. day after day, go all the weakness OF the
world all the vanities that want to be puffed
all the revenges that want to be reaped all
the mistakes that want to be corrected; all the
dull speakers who want to be thought eloquent
all the meanness that wants to get it's wares
noticed gratis in the editorial columns, in or.
der to save the tax Of the advertising columns
all the men who want to be set right who were
never right all the cracked brain pm losophers
with stories ss long as their bair. and as gloomy
as their finger-nails in mourning because berefi
OF soap-all the bores who come TO stay five
hours
Through the editorial and reportorial rooms
all the folhes aud shams OF the world are seen
day after day, and temptation is to believe IN
neither God, man or women. 1t Is no surprise
to me than in this profession there are some
skeptical men 1 only wonder that journalists
believe anything"
