minor Districts in this county the
average will be fifteen bushels to the
acre. The increase ia acreage over
that of last year will be at the lowest
calculation oue-third, or about $500
acres. The short drouths incident to the
season have had little If any effect upon
its growth. At al average of fifteen
bushels to the acre this will swell
the yield to 1881, 500 bushels,
which is more than was raised ia
any other two counties in northern

Saturday evening her little ten year
old boy, Joe, who delivers the wash

himself. While thus sitting, three
boys, al! of whom were strangers to

and demanded what money he had.
The toy told them to leave him alone,
that he was sick; had no money, and II
he had they had no right TO 1t. At
this they bounced upon him, beating
and brulsing him up terribly. They
went through his pockets In search of
money, but finding he had none took
his pocket-knife and ran of. The boy,
sick and weakened by the blows the
youthful brigands had bestowed upon
him, managed to lug the clothes back
to bis home, where he WAS put to bed
