AS to the conditions and prospects
Of crops in this State it is matter
of some difficulty to &oneralize, or
to state in brief from advices, be-
cause different conditions exist in
different localities. It may be said,
however, that winter wheat is gen
orally looking well; but the acreage
is not large. Spring wheat is III ex-
cellent condition, and tho only cir
cumstance to impair the prospect Of
a large yield is the reports from a
number of counties Of the appear
anne Of the chinch bug. In the town
Paris, in kenosha county, the farm
ers are said to havo plowed over the
land planted in sprtag wheat on ac-
count Of the depFedations of the
bug. In the older paris Of the State,
and especially in the Southern tier
Of counties, farmers have learned
not TO rely too largely on wheat, and
the acreage is diminishing year by
year. In the same sections an in.
creased breadth Of land IS planted
in corn. Corn is coming up nicely,
except where poor seed vas used,
and the yield promises to be very
large. With respect to oats, rye,
aud barley, it may be said that the
acreage is quite as large as ever be-
fore, and the prospect Of heavy
crop better than It las been for
years. AZ whole, The reports must
he regarded as cag sutasiug.

AN exchange saws that Moody
and Sankey had tough subject in
the inquiry room. Moody wrestled
with him and Sanky sang with him,
but the man seemed to despair of
forgiveness. Finally Moody asked
what great sin burdened his mind,
and he confessed to having beaten a
newspaper publisher out of three
years subscription. The evangelists
informed him that they did not pre-
tend to perform miracles, bnt if he
would settle up his dues with com
pound interest, and pay for three
years more in advance, although
they could not open the doors of
the church to him, he might be
snaked in under the canvass.

HINTS ON PICKLING,

Many fruits and vegetables usually
chosen for pickles are now in the prop
er state for that purpose, though rather
late for some OF the best. 1t may be Of
service to some, however, to furnish q
few hints on this subject We doubt if
pickles are the most healthful compound
that hOusekeepers can prepare; but as
they will be used it is well to make
them as perfect and as little injurious
as possible. Many pickles that look
the finest are very injurious and often
poisonous. All that are Of a vivid green
are doubtful. In most cases they are
" greened" by being left to lie some lit
tie time in copper vessel covered with
vinegar, which naturally absOrbs some
portion Of the copper. That, all will be
likely to know, is poisonous. When
left but short time in such vessels the
vinegar will not take up so much Of the
poison as to be deadly, but it certainly
is injurious, though perhaps impercep-
tibly so to every one. To some more del
icately organized even q little is fatally.
There is no necessity that pickles
should be green. 1t is a mere fancy, j
matter Of taste, and of late years is in a
great measure discarded; and almost all
pickles are made in porcelain or enamel
lined kettles. But with proper care q
good brass kettle is perfectly safe, We
think, and much preferable to the en-
ameled or pOrcelain-lined kettles. These
kettles burn easily, and after any thing
has been burned in them a few times the
lining cracks, flakes off, leaving spots of
the iron or tin bare, and then any thing
delicate will be discolored by the iron.
Of late we have also seen it stated that
there is some reason to think if the en-
amel Of these kettles is once cracked
they are almost as injurious as brass or
bell metal. Any acid that can find a
way under the glazing absOrbs some in
furious property from the composition
with which porcelain or enamel is made.
Of this we can not speak with certainty,
but we have always used brass kettle
and never saw any injurious effects
from it.
No one should ever use a kettle of

A MADEN'S STRATAGEH.

Mr.. Gracev stood before the fire and
poked the glowing Goals vigorously,
When he was vexed he always did that
by wav. I suppose, of satisfying his
desire To strike whoever he happened to
be vexed with. This time it was MS
pretty daughter Anna who was making
her Shining knitting-needles fly faster
than her father did the poker, while her
bright brown eyes gazed somewhat de-
family Mt the form of her father rs he
stooped over the fire, and her pretty red
month was compressed with a determin-
ed expression. Mr. Gracey's head was
shoc<y and sandy now, but if one hal
seen his portrait rs o young man It
would have shown dark auburn which
Law in waves, like Anna's own, and in
the face a strong resemblance to hers.
She resembled him in his strong will,
too. and their opinions crashed ottener
than was quite agreeable to the gentle
mother, who wanted every thing to 90
on so smoothly.
This time it was Annals beau-jn-
deed, her accepted lover, who had once
had the fathers consent-who was the
cause of the trouble. There was a dance
over at Westfeld Corners, as it was
called. and Anna was determined to 60
with her lover, Richard Landon, and
her father was determined she should 90
with city cousin who was visiting them,
in their own carriage. And if he could
have seen a letter from Richard, which
was snugly hidden in Anna's pocket, he
MIGHT have been more determined than
he was.
FEATHER. YOU never once objected to
Richard till YOU had that dispute with
his father about the land, said Anna.
"Maybe not" replied Gracey,
Strengthening up his tall figure; " but
I've vowed since TO have nothing to do
with the whole set of Landons. Like
father, like son. Nobody knows how
Richards going to turn out. I've made
up my mind won't have him poking
round here any longer
''But, father, we had your consent
once"
Don't care if you did. ! take it back,
that's all. Now, there's your Cousin
Tom wants you as bad as Richard does :;
why can't you take him, like a sensible
girl, and be satisfied?'

Sharp County record., 1877-10-26

Long Mr.. Gracev waited at the dance
brr neirber Tom. Richard nor Anna
came. At last. convinced something
was wrong, he mounted his horse ana
rode hack. meeting Thomas halfway
from Wfuis's with his news. Thomas
was for an instant puzzled, but the Old
Gentleman vowed nobody should 20 AZ
Ter her or bring her back; she had
made her own bed and she might he on
it for all he cared, whether she found IL
comfortable or not.
So home went the old father, and
nursed his wrath until the next morn
ing. when Il note was brought from
Anna, begging Thomas s pardon TOR the
cavalier way in which she was obliged
to desert him the night before, saying
that Richard and herself were married,
and zone home to Father Landon s, and
we're waiting to know if they might
come over and ask their parents for
giveness.
Now Mr.. Gracev did know when to
make the best Of thing, and ne adj
mired his daughter the more for the
will and spirit which equaled his own.
So, after tuming and tretting awhile,
he said:
"Weu, I give in. She's a match for
me. Real Gracey pride that. Wife,
scare up your fatcest turkey, and I'll 60
and bring them home to dinner"
