-RIGHT in the heart of New
York State is what is known as the
Oneida Community. The communists
number about three hundred persons
and the property controlled BY them
is worth about 100000. They differ
from the Mormons in that they have
q common property and use the ''n"-
wife system instead of the "many-
wife SYSTEM" They work, make
money and are growing. On Friday
many clergymeu of Central New
York met to organize a crusade
against the Qneids people. The
meeting was in Syracuse. DIR. j. W.
Mears, of Hamilton College; Bishop
Huntington, ofthe Episcopal Church
Bishop Peck, of the Methodist
Church; other notable gentlemen,
and the local clergy of all denomi-
nations were present. 1t was re-
solved by the meeting to take meas
ures for suppressing the immoral fea-
lures of the community, and a CON-
mittee was appointed to hunt up the
law that should be applied. 1t is
understood that the "np-wife system
Is to he the main point of attack.
Some will urge that the Oneidans
should be let alone. II does appear
90 until a single other fact about
them comes TO light. This single
fact is, according to the leading men
of the vicinity, that the Community
is contemplating the young girls and
men who live around, that many
homes have been made wretched by
the taking root Of their immoral
ideas, and that, though unprecedented
the neighbors feel how like a cancer
in the side are the "followers o.
Noyes,"

VIZ are reliably Informed that
Commissioner lie Due, of the Agri-
cultural Bureau, is now quietly but
ably experimenting with new
method of destroying the grasshop-
per crop. This is why SO little has
been heard of him lately. The
country has long needed Commits
sioner of Agriculture with special
talents for dealing with the grasshop.
per, of which there has been an i'm
mense over-production for several
years. Commissioner LIE Dues sys-
tenn is very simple one, and unless
he should get it patented may be
used by any farmer of average in.
telligence. He proposes to give the
grasshopper snuff and then give him
thirty.six seconds in which to sneeze
his bead off. A trial was recently
made in one of the rooms of the
Department at Washington, when
several bushels Of grasshoppers were
completely wrecked and rendered
unfit for future devastation. 1t is
much more effective than putting
salt on their tails, and, as there does
not seem to be any doubt about the
ability of the Commissioner to col
lect all the grasshoppers together in
one place, his deadly system of deal
ing with them must prove successful.
1t is General lie Dues opinion that
mosquitoes may also be destroyed IN
this way, although his experiments
have not fully satisfied him on that
point.-Philadelphia Times.

Ting Insane Asylum bill was
defeated in the Senate, last Wednes-
day, by a vote of 2 to IA. A ma
iority of the Senators were OF the
opinion that the people of Nevada
wanted the insane cared for in this
State, but as there was very general
demand for reduction of taxation,
they preferred to postpone the erec-
ton of the proposed asylum for a
couple of years.

THE newspaper men in both
Houses of the Legislature have re.
NAMED true to the people who elected
them. Their names should therefore
be perpetuated. They are as follows
G. W. Cassidy, w. Frank Stewart,
Christopher Columbus Powning, Mr.
Fisk of Eureka, and Dan Lyons and
Joe Harlow, of Storey. The three
former are in the Senate, the latter in
the Assembly. 1t would evidently
have been better for the people OF
Nevada if both Houses had been
composed Of newspaper men.

Strange Thunder Around Pixies
Peak.

A thunder storm passed over the
Peak yesterday afternoon. The cleo.
trical disturbances were first noticed
at 8 p. NJ, and continued until 4:30.
The claps or reports followed each
other in quick succession and were
quite loud, resembling those of can
mons about half mile distant, and
were accompanied by continued
rumbling noise, which was very uni
form in sound and distance. At 80
p. NJ. the barometer on the Peak was
compared with the one at the college,
the pressure being oil inch less on
the summit and the temperature 10
degrees lower. Sergeant Choate says
it was thunder, but the strangest he
ever heard.-Colorado Springs Ga

THE representatives of Lyo

THE representatives of Lyon
county in the Legislature feel slight
ed because the anti-railroad petition
from this city was not sent to them
for presentation. Senator King
seems to be particularly offended,
and informed representative of the
TINES, who was in Carson last
Wednesday, that, no matter what
his opinions, he was always willing
to present any petition, upon any
subject, with which his constituents
might intrust him. The fact is, that
the handing of the particular petition
referred to to Mr.. Davenport showed
great lack of tact, since he is not a
member of either branch Of the Leg
islature.

the government to hang every man who
distilled drop of it, instead of granting
a license to produce it, many lives would
thereby be preserved, and millions of
souls saved the torments of the burning
pit. The man who obtains license for
a GROCERY has a legal right to poison his
neighboIs with impunity, and bring
widows and orphans to want and dis
grace. Is not our government, then, the
tempter, as great subject in the eyes
of God as the tempted murderer. We
daily read of wife murders, and self
destruction, all from whisky, and we
know but little of the vast amount OF

The liquor seller is merciless, and con-
tinued effort is necessary to subdue him.
Let all who disobey the law be made to
feel its strong arm. The future is full
of promise for temperance workers, and
the cause has frmer hold on the people
than it ever had before. The subject is
being more fully discussed and is becom-
ing the leading qestion of the day. The
agitation of it means something, and the
fearful features of intemperance are be-
ing realized more fully than ever before.
The battle will be long and holly con-
tested, but temperance will win. Some
laughed at the idea of abolishing slavery.
But where is slavery to-day? The fut-
ure is full of promise for the friends of
temperance. and through God we shall
do valiantly. We must trust in God
and work and pray.

BETTER AND CHEAPER FENCES
COMING.

Two thousand million Owo billion
dollars, would not cover the cost of the
fences now in use and soon to be required
on the farms of this country. If better,
cheaper, and far more desirable fences
can be used, the saving will be an i'm
mense sum-and they are at hand. CA
farm of 100 acres, divided say half of it
into 1O-acre fields, and half of it into
5-acre fields, requires 1850 rods, or
over 4 IL miles of fencing, costing
$725,00 at SO cents rod, or $3625O
at % cents rod.) The wooden fences
hitherto in use are annually going to
decay and requiring constant expenses
for renewals.
This is subject that comes home to
every proprietor of farm, however small,
and to every village lot owner as WE'LL
In this age of iron, or of steel rather, it
is not surprising that great attention is
being turned to this material as SUBJ
stitute for wooden account of It's dura-
bility, its strength. its cheapness, and
its beauty even. Recent inventions have
developed variety of forms of cheap
but effective steel fences. Plain iron
wire has long been used or tried, but it
has proved quite unsatisfactory, and al
most useless. Cattle and other animals
run against 1t, or through 1T or break it
down.
In 1860 an Iowa blacksmith attempted
to render wire fence more effective by
attacking kind of barbs or points along
it. at frequent intervals. He bent a
common horseshoe nail around the wire
closely, leaving the two ends projecting
as barbs on each side. AS the nails
worked loose by the expansion and con-
traction of heat and cold, he tried to
fasten them by winding small wire
spirally around the large main wire to
bind the nails in place. From this be-
ginning has sprung up great variety.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE CENSUS.

The census will be taken next June,
and will be very full and detailed in
every respect, and it will be necessary
for the farmer, in particular, to make
accurate and detailed reports of the
amount of his products and their value.
To assist our readers in preparing for
the reports they will be required to make,
we condense the following from one of
the circulars issued from the pension
bureau: AS the record is to be made in
June, certain productions are to be reck-
oned from the crops of the calendar year
1879; others of the yield of the year
preceding June /, 1880, and others, like
wool, maple sugar, ETC., the yield of the
spring of 1880.
Of those falling into the schedule of
the year 1879, are wheat, corn, barley.
rye, oats, buck or India wheat, peas and
beans. 1t will be necessary to give the
number of acres sown, of each kind, and
the number of bushels produced the
number of acres planted to potatoes and
the number of bushels raised the num-
Der of acres devoted to orchards, and the
value of these products in dollars; the
number of acres devoted to hay, and
the number of tons raised; the amount
of clover seed and "grass" seed in bush
els; the number of acres planted to hops
and their weight; the number of acres
of fax and hemp, and pounds produced
the bushels of faxseed; the number Of
swarms of bees, the pounds of honey
and wax. Of the yield of the year end
ing May 3lst 1880, required the number
of pounds of butter and cheese, the mum
Der of gallons of milk sold, value of ami

There was, it seems, substantial gain
from the use of ammoniated dissolved
bone, and still more from superphosphate
of lime; hardly noticeable effect from
the plaster, unless it reduced the yield,
while on the plat where a mixture of hen
manure, ashes and plaster was used
there was but little increase.
