OF the new Indian scouts enlisted
by 1t. Z. S. Farrow, 2lst Infantry,
the Walla Walla Statesman says:
These scouts recently enlisted at
the Umatilla agency by Lieutenant
Farrow, are getting along first rate
in military tactics, and are in perfect
trim. They take to soldering very
naturally, and have already learned
the different commands in English.
They execute movements with an ac-
curacy and precision seldom surpassed
BY regular soldiers. They practice
daily, and the score of the majority
of them is splendid, and Lieut.. Far
row intends making them hit man
st 1000 yards before he gets through
with Them 1t is very possible they
will soon be sent into the fields, as
they are very anxious to make a rep
utation.

The wheat harvest of southern Ohio
and Indiana is nearly over. The crop
has been saved in good condition,
and is one of the finest ever raised in
that region. In many places farmers
say it will average forty bushels to
the acre. The total yield in Ohio
will be fully fifteen per cent greater
than last year, which was also heavy
year. Harvest hands have been paid
generally $3.50 day.
