The growing wheat looks badly.
A bone mill is talked of here.
Our paper mill is again in operation.
There was short spell of sleighing
this week.
Free Schools, County Courts, rail
roads and colds, all interest us just now
how to doctor each of them SO as to
make them more agreeable to the at
ficted is the vexed question.
Edward McGlone, of Bolivar, got
into an alteration with some boys OF
that place, on Saturday afternoon, and
one of the boys struck him behind the
ear with piece of brick, seriously, II
not fatally, injuring him.
The committee of grangers appointed
TO select site for the bone mill, which
it is proposed TO erect somewhere in this
county, met in Charlestown on Satur-
day, and here Oh Monday. and examin-
ed several sites around each place. 1t
will report the result Of their investiga-
tons TO some future meeting OF those
interested.
We are glad to see our farmers wax
ing up to the importance OF such an Ell,
terprise; it was needed long ago, and
we predict will be paying investment
nov, 10 those who will take stock in 1t.
Thousands of dollars went out of our
county last year for phosphates, bone

money at home? We hope the enter
prise may prosper, for this reason.
Measles aud whooping cough are
prevalent in our neighborine town OF
Bolivar, and some deaths have occurred
there from those diseases. What APP
pears to be an epidemic-a disease OF
bad colds and coughs-afillcts many in
this corner OF our county. This dislem-
per seems, in fact, to be general in this
State and elsewhere.
Pursuant to the cali by its president
for a special meeting of the Jefferson
County Teachers Association, few OF
the teachers met in Charlestown on last
Saturday. There were present Mrs.
Schonkec, Miss Annie Ridenour, Misc
Bette Beller, L. Schaeffer, G. II. G.
Backus, L. J. Williams, j. L. Hess,
John II. johnson, and Mr.. Barns. As
there was not quorum of the members
present. 70 business was transacted, but
some important questions were discuss
ed. Among others was the present high
prices of our text books, &c.-whether
they cannot be obtained at lower rates,
and whether the teachers Of the county
cannot accomplish this for the people.
The Secretary Of the Association was
instructed to correspond with the differ
ent publishers of our text books, and
obtain their prices; and if no lower
rates can be obtained, then an effort
will be made to furnish the school books
TO the patrons at wholesale prices.
The next regular meeting OF the AS
ISOLATION is the Sid Saturday in March,
when, it is hoped, all the teachers who
are members of the Association, as we'll
as any others who may wish to join,
will be present This is one way OF
maniiesting to the people that they have
the proper conduct of the free schools

Ai.er March 3rd, all cattle arriving
at Liverpool from this Country are to
be slaughtered at the public abbatoirs.
The reason assigned, is that cattle i'm
ported from America are effected with
a disease called plenro-pneumonia. That
such an epidemic exists III this country
is admitted But it is claimed that the
disease is local, being as yet confined
chiefly to Long Island. Gov. Robinson
Of New York-as he is allowed by the
Laws OF that State, has given orders 70
have all the infected cattle >iiled. The
disease may possibly spread. 1t would
be wise 70. our breeders and dealers in
cattle, to watch their stock. Bat there
is a suspicion that the stringent meas
ures taken by England is partly protec-
tive, as American beet has been for
some time driving home competitors
from the market.

The pestlcnce, known as the plague,
still prevails in South Western Russia.
It's origin is ascribed to q shawl brought
by Cossacb to his lady love, on bis re-
turn from the Turkish War. The dis
ease spread rapidly, but no notice was
taken of it by the local authorities until
half the inhabitants of the village had
died. The epidemic had assumed seri-
Gus dimensions by the 25th of Novem-
Der, and on the l1th Of December, the
Government was officially informed Of
its ravages. Since then vigorous meas
urcs have been taken TO prevent its
further progress. Some villages have
been burned, others cordoned with
troops, guarantees established, and even
paper money destroyed. The panic in
Russia is reported as almost incredible.
Every class and station in life. have pc
titioned for the entire cessation of al!
intercourse, even postal communication
between the infected provinces and the
rest of Russia. The European Govern
ments.bave taken measures to prevent
the invasion of their several countries
by the dreaded pes.ilence. The export
of grain from Poland, it is said will suf-
fer severely from these restrictions.
Vessels from the Black Sea are detaiu-
ed in quarantine. from 20 to 40 days.
