III. III. Isbell, of Webber township,
had the misfortune, one day last week,
to lose some seven or eight tons of hay,
by fire which burned over the marsh
on which it was stacked. He thinks
the fire was incendiary; and If so, it
shows the existence of q mean scamp
somewhere up in these "diggings."
We acknowledge the receipt Of a
complimentary" to the State Fair, to

ship, left some white ewhortlcberrics st
our office, few days ago. The berries
are rare in this locality; and are rich
in color and taste. Mr.. u. talks of try
ing to cultivate them, and VIC hope he
may do SO successfully.
The fire which was burning In the
woods at the Harger mill, got into the
ruin, last Thursday afternoon, aud de-
strOyed most of what was left after the
explosion.

! We are indebted Hon. f. g. ID. Hol-
den, Secretary Of State, for a COPY Of
advance sheets from statistics showing
the amount of wheat, corn and other
grains raised In the State In 1875. We
find that the number Of acres I'm Lake
county was sos; which produced G,250
bushels-an average Of 1926 bushels
per acre. The number of acres Of wheat
i'm May, 1877, was ESQ; an increase of
nearly 100 acres over the amount raised
last year. The number OF acres of 9TH
er grains raised in 1876 was as follows:
Corn, 39l; oats, 2l8; barley, 8. The
number Of producers, last year, was
1873. To show how our wheat yield
compares with that of surrounding
counties, We give the following, for 1876:
Osceola, 2, 425 acres, %, OF bushels, $50
average; Mason county, S6S acres, H.
ZOE bushels, 1919 average; Oceana
county, 4,s79 acres, 43, 906 bushels, 1908
average. 1t will be seen that the av-
erage per acre i'm Lake county, last year,
was higher than In either Osccola or
Ocesna, md not Ear below that of Ma
NON. This year, we are inclined to be-
lieve, the average yield per acre In Lake
county will be larger. We see no rea-
son why our farmers should not feel
satisfied with future prospects.

see where their money goes.
think the public are entitled 10 an
explanation from Mr.. Baker, whether
the reason Smith could not follow a
road he bad $50 for making, was be-
cause he was going from baldwin, or
on account Of the way the road was
made.
] would like TO know IL the "ride and
tie" plan OF letting 2 miles Of road, To
Chick and Ross, to cut, ut SO nm acre,
was cheaper than the common way?
We used to get heavy hard timber cut,

A Terrible Death.

Friday week a fatal accident oc-
cured on board the steamship ".
G. Hewes, lying at Vallette Dry
Dock. The hnfortune victim of
this terrible accident was the chief
engineer of the steamer, man
named Thomas Mears. Being.
thirsty he went to the locker OF
the vessel to get a drink of claret.
BY come unaccountable mistake
he poured carbolic acid into his
glass and took swallow of the
acid before he discovered his mis-
take. As soon as the accident was
made known Drs. Dyer and Lee
monnier were summoned. They
administered antidotes and made
every effort to relieve the unfor-
tunate sufferer, but in vain. The
acid had done its work before the
ARRIVAL OF the physicians, and the
victim Of this most terrible acct
dent dieE two hours after swallow
ing the drug.
Mears was a native of Manches-
ter, England, and leaves a wife,
who arrived from Mobile yester-
day to take charge of her hus-
bands body, which will be re-
moved to Moblle.-[N. o. Plea

Expansion og 4tine Gt1sags

To prevent consumption has
been the laudable, endeavor of
mARy scientific physicians, as well
as many quacks. That3smore can
be done to ward oft This fell de-
stroyer than can be effected TO
crre the malady whel fixed is
beyond a doubt
Our object in referring 10 this
disease now i !, not TO repeat on
lay before cur readers all the
hygienic means that MAY be used
in such cases, xfor, theytarev legion,
but simply to call attention to q
single one shat may be useful in
preserving the lungs in a healthy
state. 1t is simply expanding
them. Consumptives narrow
chested. Asthmatics as usually
broad chested, and become so very
much from the difficulty they have
in breathing when attacked with
asthma. Hence, asthmatic per
sons are stllom the victims OF
consumption.
Many inventions have b. o
sought out for expanding the
lungs; but the following simple
means will accomplish the work
az well as it can be- possibly
done.
Go into the air, stand erect,
throw back the head and shout
ders, and draw air through the
nostrils into the lungs as much as
possible. After having thus filled
the lungs, raise your arms, still
extended, and suck in the. When
you have thus forced the arms
backward, with the chest open,
change the process by which you
drew in your breath, till the lungs
are emptied. Go through the
process several times day, and
it will enlarge the chest, give the
lungs better play, and serve very
much to ward off consumption.
