Close the Dram Shops.

When Boston was burning in 1872
when the great railroad strike was raging in
Chicago and st. Louis and other cities, al
order was promptly issued by the authori.
ties, Close every dram shop" In this our
hour OF peril we have other work for our
police aud soldiery than TO stand sentry
over the thousands of drunkard factories OF
our cities that are constantly turning out
masses of frenzied rum-mad men To pillage
and murder or destroy. Let every man be
sober to-day in this our struggle for exist
ence ; but when the danger is over so that
we eau again take care of your rum-crazed
victims, you shall be graciously allowed to
go on and deal out without stint this poten-
tial cause of rebellion, of riot, crime and
death.
Query-Was the dranl-shop, the saloon,
the traffic itself, regarded by those cities on
that day of their extremity blessing or a
curse, II friend or an enemy
The Central 1dUocdte of st. Louis THE
temperance men have the right to make
good use of the fact that everywhere during
tn, riot the dram-shop was looked upon as
public enemy, Had liquor been furnished
freely TO the mob, the ruin would have been
universal. Does any one believe that such
mines charged with elements OF destruction
should be tolerated If the crime aud vio-
lence that may lie honestly charged to liquor
selling during year or six months were
concentrated III day, we should see the ex-
act result that was sought to be avoided by
closing the dramshop while the mob Law
prevailed. 1t would be nearly impossible to
produce mob where total abstinence was
the rule, The dram-shop is the fountain OF
crime and disorder. There is not an honest
soldier policeman that will not affirm there
would be little or no need for their services
if all the dram-shops permanently closed
Even the whiskey-sellers acknowledged the
propriety OF the damaging sentence put
upon their business by the order to close up
all the dranl.shops."

Rotation OF Crops.

The doctrine OF the rotation OF crops has
been preached Tor three-quarters oil cen
fury, yet the knowledge and practice oil II
has not increased greatly in New England
We take up our poorest mowings, plant with
potatoes and corn, and seed down again
with oats or wheat, and in this way have, 1t
is true, sort OF rotation But 1t is all done
in hap-hazard way, without much inteln
gence, aud with less system
Experience, where experience has been
gained by careful experiment, has shown
that certain courses OF certain crops treated
in certain manner, are best adapted to
certain Kinds OF land ms mas been so
completely demonstrated by years oil trlaI'
that IN the dliferent counties OF England the
definite rotations adapted 10 each are surety
adhered TO, and required Ill all farm leases
That we have nothing OF that kind is no
reason against 1t, because our farming ha'
never yet been reduced to system and rule,
and few of our farmers really know what is
the best course for them to follow In TINS re-
spect We cannot initiate the English prac'
tice, because we do not grow the same crops
in the same proportions, nor would that be
practicable. With them roots, with us In
dian corn is, or should be, the great hoed
crop Yet II would often pay us 10 MAKE
more OF roots than we do
Grass is the most profitable crop with us,
as IN England, so that the objective point OF
our farming is the same as theirs-to get a
good rich sod, Tor moving or pasturage' On
their and our heavy soils, when well drained
such a sod, when once obtained, may be

the avoidance OF fall-teedlng TO an injurious

"withers are wrung" will take offense.
We hope not all of those, for it is not to
offend our brethren that we speak, but to
stimulate them to improvement There are
none of us that do as well as we ought, and
could, il we put more thought and energy
into our business. As for ourself, we never
review a seasons work, at the end Of 1t, with
out feeling painful consciousness that we
have lost many dollars from lack of knowl-
edge, and some from lack of the prompt and
energetic action that always does the right
thing at the right time.
But not only are our brother farmers
writing to us to stiffen our backbone and
courage to speak out plain truth-some OF
them join in the fray, aud say more than we
should think of saying, or are quite ready to
fully endorse. One of them, speaking of
what he calls our over-sanguine ideas about
the rapid improvement of dairying in Yer

There is certainly revival of grain-grov

of Western cereals. And there seems to b,
no encouragement in the matter. Large as
was the area of corn and wheat put in la,

creased. The growing skill in the manag,

The grain merchants feel the effect already.
and though they say that the present fury
for growing our own corn will not last, there
is encouraging evidence that it will not only
last, but increase, until New England cease
to be a market for Western corn, except il
the cities and villages.
High culture good seed, machine tlllage
and economical handling of the crop, hav
turned the scale. The prairie-grown corr

many acres in moving that only yield a tcn

land in corn every year, and in four years
we shall get more grass from the three

Advice for Boys.


Horace Mann writes " You are made TO
be kind. generous, magnanimous. II there
is boy in school who has a club foot, don't
let him know that You ever saw it. If there
is poor boy with ragged clothes, don't talk
about rags in his hearing. If there is a
lame boy, assign him some part OF the game
which does not require running. If there is
a hungry one, give him part OF your dinner
If there is dull one, help him on with his
lesson. If there be bright one be not en-
vious of him; for if one hoy is proud of his
talents, and another is envious of them, there
are two great wrongs and no more talent
than before. II larger or a stronger boy
has injured You, aud is sorry for it, forgive
him, and request the teacher not To punish
him, All the school will show by their
countenauce how much better it is than to
have great fist"

The Ravens.

suppose we have all read how the ravens
saved Elijah's life, Perhaps your readers
would like to hear little story, which is
quite true. about a raven that saved the
lives OF some men in England. Many years
ago some men were working in Winsdale
Quarry near kmgsbride, IN Devon they
were just going TO have some dinner when
raven stole one OF the mems dinners and
flew away with it, All the men ran out OF
the quarry to see the bird flying off with it,
aud while they were doing so the quarry
fell in. If they had been in it they would
all have been killed. SO you see that Eli.
iahs life was saved by having food brought
TO him by the ravens; but these men were
saved by having some OF their ood taken
away.-Lhie Folks.

Murder at Sabina,

Our neighbOring village at Sabina has
been very much excited for several days
past over brutal murder which was COM
mitted there on Wednesday night of last
week, in which German butcher, of the
town, was killed for his money. A special
to the Cincinnati Enquirer of Saturday,
gives the following account of the affair ::
'JOhn Manmeizle, a quiet, inoffensive
German, who has resided in the village
for several years, and carried on the buSi-
ness of butcher, was found about eight
O'Clock, in an unoccupied blacksmith-shop
adjoining Il low saloon and house kept by
David Eibe and wife, with the top of his
head crushed in by some blunt instru-
ment, and dead. At whose hands he met
his death is not certainly known, hut sus-
pIclon points very strongly toward Eibe
and a young man by the name of Scott
| Gordon, who has been making his home
in the EIbe house for the past month. The
murdered man had in his possession when
| last seen alive, $50 i'll money, and was
in company of Eibe and Gordon. The
| story they tell about it is that EManmei-
| zle was in the saloon drunk, and they
I started home with him, and when near
/ the shop he became unable to walk, and
| they laid him in the shop to sober up:
/ they left him there, and in an hour went
| back aud found him dead When found
! his money was all gone. His little boy
called at the Eibe house and asked for him
three different times, and was informed
| by Eibe that he was not there When
asked to explain how, in their opinion he
met his death, they both suggested that he
had fallen and struck his head against the
sill. After the COrOner's inquest, and be-
fore he could be arrested, the man Cor
don left the town and made his escape.
| The murdered man was about fifty years
of age and unmarried at the time, his
wife having died some years ago. He
| leaves Il family of five children"
On Friday last David Eibe and his
wife, Beck johnson, woman of notori-
GUS character, Scott Gordon and his broth
er Clay, were arrested On suspicion OF
connection with the murder, and were
all taken to Wilmington, and placed ir
Jail. A large and excited crowd of citi.
zens were at the depot in Sabina, when
the prisoners were put on the train. Or
Friday night the saloon and dwelling
house of the Eibes family was demolished
by the ineensed citizens of the town.
