FLAX SEED.
It's Advantages as a Crop.


l. 1t is the best preparation for a
wheat crop, insuring from three to six
bushels more per acre following flax
than when sown in succession. The
same is true of oats, barley or corn. No
cash outlay for seed, three pecks per
acre, costing less than half as much as
with wheat.
2. 1t affords a good relief from the
one crop" system. 1t pays ordinarily
as well as other crops and some seasons
much better; have never known a fail
ure in Flax.
3. Nothing is better than Flax with
which to seeddown to timothy or clover.
4. Flax comes off from ten days to
two weeks before wheat is ready to cut.
No fear from chintz bugs.
.. Ii cut at the right time, can be
harvested as cheap as a crop of hay, and
secured from rain. The straw and chaf
are eagerly eaten by stock, and are fully
worth an equal weight of good hay.

AssAULTED.-Mr. Scribner, the gov
ernment detective, who was engaged in
ferreting out the would be murdercrs of
Jul local, was assaulted by two
men, neal the Catholic Cemetery, last
Sunday night. He was coming from
the residence of Heman Morse. at about
10 o'clock, and had come but a short
distance when a man sprang out from
the bushes, seized him by the throat,
and made some exclamation as to his
purpose. Mr.. Scribner, quick as
thought, struck him a heavy blow be-
tween the eyes, which knocked him
down. He then started to run, not hav-
ing his revolver with him, and as he
did so, another man jumped out and
made after him. He had the start,
however, and made his way safely to
the residence of Mr.. Morse, where he
told his story. His throat bore a few
marks from the %rufians fingers, but 9th
erwise he was uninjured. 1t is thought
that the assaulters were intoxicated,
and had the intention Of doing nothing
more than giving their victim a good
drubbing. At any rate, that neighbor-
hood seems to be prolific for deviltry.

The FISH LAw:-The new fish law
is very stringent in it's provisions. BY
its terms all persons are prohibited
from catching or killing any fish of any
kind in the waters of the State, except
private waters, between the 1st of
March and the 18th of June. The pen
atty is $40 fine for each fish found in
possession. The use Of any seine, net,
trot-line, outline, spear or fish dam, to
catch fish, is forbidden, under penalty
of $25. The law also provides for fish
ways or ladders in all mill-dams in the
State, to be constructed under the di-
rection of the Fish Commissioner. AS
the penalty is more than. the cost of the
fish-way, the law will probably be COM
piled with in this regard. The plan of
these fsh-ways is similar to those in
Michigan, and not expensive, being a
series of step pools in the center of the
dam. The law is exactin,g but not a bit
too much so, and VIC hope to see it en-
forced in this locality. Let the sport
ing club be vigilant and active, and our
stream will soon swarm with fish.

PAINFUL AccIDENT.-Last Tuesday
morning, little Charlie Orcutt, aged be-
tween five and six years, son of S. d.
circuit, met with a very serious and
painful accident. He was engaged in
filling a straw tick, with several other
boys, in the NOW of Sherwood's Livery
Stable, and had filled his arms with
straw, which prevented him from look
ing ahead, when he walked right through
a large hole in the floor, and fell. with a
crash on to the hard ground floor be-
meath. He was Immediately picked up
and carried home, and an examination
showed his leg to be broken between
the knee and thigh, and some severe
bruises about the head. Otherwise he
was uninjured, and is now doing well.
It is almost a miracle that he was not
instantly killed.

THE Silver lining to our financial cloud is

days the price Of the shining metal has adj.
vanced five cents an ounce in the London

this kind Of thing keeps on gold will very
soon begin to be rated below par, whatever
that standard Of values may be. In fact, il
Germany were to remonctize silver to-day,
~ she may at any time, to correct the error
Of demonstration, as this country has gold
would no longer be accepted as the sole
standard by any class Of lnanciers. One
way TO aid this result is to establish free
coinage of silver in this country. Our Ger
