PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
The country has passed through fierce Presl-
Dental contest, and the result has been left in q
dangerous and unsatisfactory shape, ON account

the failure of the Constitution to provide any tr
bunal to solve doubts or decide contested polnts.
GOV HAYES ELECTED.
From the best light before it, The TRIBuNE be-
ieves that Hayes has received 1856 Electoral votes
against 1874 for Tlden and is therefore entitled to
1877 The highest good Of the South, as well as
of the North, would be beet promoted by his occu'
pancy of the Executive Chair.

Grasshoppers commenced hatch
ing in this vicinity some six days
ago, and now along the roads, and
where the earth is firmly packed,
they appear in numbers too great to
afford pleasant reflection, to say the
least. AS yet careful inquiry fails
to bring us information that they are
Matching to any great extent Oh the
fields, and we incline to the opinion
that the parasites have cleaned out
most Of the eggs where the ground
is cultivated, though time may prove
the contrary. 1t is certain that in
many localities on the cultivated
land where the deposit was very
heavy last fall there appears neither
hopper nor its embrotic offspring
Reasoning from the above facts we
conclude that the red bug does not
work much in the hard ground, but
confines his operations mostly to
places where the egg may be more
easily reached. This Is certainly an
anxious period for people in this re-
gion, and they now seem in breath
less suspense awaiting developments
in the near future. The next ten
days contain important disclosures
for us, and will probably determine
to great extent the condition of
our locality for the next year, and
perhaps much longer. The Beacon
is still strong in the hope that pros
perity is not far distant, and will not
be convinced to the contrary until
the little jumping devils destroy our
prospects entirely.-Spirit Lake

How to Get Rid of Bouldess.

Any of the boulders or hard heads
Sc profusely scattered over Fayette
and adjoining counties, may be split
into fragments of any desired shape
IN the following simple manner:
Dig down on one side to tho bot
tom Of the rock, or what is better,
draw it from its bed; then kindle a
small quick fire on the ground, and
confine it to small streak up the
side. Small thin scales will soon
crack off; these must be removed so
as to keep the heat close to the body
Of the stone; in half or three-quarters
of an hour q seam or crack will be-
gin to open next to the fire, and
slowly divide the largest, hardest,
boulder into halves, the time requir.
ed depending on the size of the
boulder, and the closeness in which
the fire ia continued to u narrow
strip up the side; but two hours time
will split ton stone into halves
The halves may be divided in the
same way. The advantages Of this
plan are, that the stone will split
evenly, leaving smooth faces; it is
cheaper than blasting, as one man
can keep several fires going. Bear
In mind that if the fire is allowed to
spread and heat the whole side of
the rock, it will not split it.
The philosophy of this is,the stone
is split by the expansion of 4 long
narrow section of one of its sides,
acting on the principle Of a wedge
The above information will be worth
more to some Of the farmers who
take the Gazette than ten years sub
scription will cost them. We have
seen and tested this plan thoroughly,
with the most satisfactory results

Piled to every officer and every employe
Of this company, from the president
downward, and the assertion that some
salaries were raised, that they might not
be effected by such reduction, is utterly
without foundation in fact, This com
pany proposes to rely upon the strong
arm of the law for protection, and its
trains will be moved when that protec'
ton shall have been found adequate.
The very slight reduction Of ten per cent
that has been made is the only reduction
since the year 1879 and in the interim
since that time the owners Of the
property have suffered a diminution Of
revenues to the amount of forty per
cent, against ten per cent. taken off the
salaries of all employees"
In reference to the conference with
the engineers, Col, Scott says: "The en-
gineers are, as body, perfectly loyal to
the company. The interview was one
of entire good feeling, and the engineers
said that whatever might be done by any
outside mobs hostile to the company,
they were in no sympathy with them
whatever"
