The "Census-Man" is Coming.
fAmerican Agriculturist.

American AgrIcuiturlst.I
Next year will be 1880; and when
the number of the year ends in II
cypher, there is a great ingathering of
all sorts of statistics. In other words,
the. Decennial Census is taken by the
United States Government. At some
time next year the home of every far
mer, and of every other person, will be
visited and the occupants called upon
to give concise answers to long list
of questions. In order that these
answers should be accurate-for the
value of census depends upon its accu-
racy-every farmer should write down,
while it is fresh in his mind, the num-
Der of head of live stock, the products
of the dairy, and in fact all the results
of this years farming, and have them
ready for the day when the facts are to
be gathered 1t is to the interest OF
the farmer that the census be accurately
taken; 80 let each one be prepared
beforehand, and not be forced to give
hasty guesses upon such important
matters. There are peculiar people,
not to say CROOKED sticks" in the
world, though we are glad to believe
that these, though they exist among
farmers, are not especially numerous.
Yet even among farmers there will be
those who regard the questions put by
the census-taker as an impcrtinent in
quiry into their private business, and
either refuse TO reply altogether, or to
give blind and evasive answers. Such
persons should know that the census
taker is an officer Of the General Gov
ernment, and represents, for this pur-
pose, the will Of the people as ex-
pressed in law passed by both Houses
of Congress. Laws carry with them
n penalty for their violation and eva
sion those who resist the examination
of the Census Man" may get into
trouble.

Crpnated Alive.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct 25.-Yesterday
James S. Nash, a well-to-do farmer
living in Henrico county, came to
Richmond and got on spree. lie
returned home last night pretty full OF
liquor, and went to the stable and put
his horse away. He then went to the
fodder-house, small log building, to
get some fodder for his horse. He
carried candle with him. The fodder
house was entered by means of a very
small door. BY some means, after the
unfortunate farmer had opened the
door, he dropped the candle in the
fodder, igniting it at once. In his
drunken stupidity he overturned a
heavy bale of hay, which rolled against
the small door, shutting and closing 1t
completely.
The fodder blazed at once, and the
man in the midst of the fiery furnace
roasted alive. His screams brought
his agonized wife and children to the
scene, but they could not force open
the small door, which had mass OF
bales of hay jammed against it. The
house being built of logs, they could
not effect an entrance by knocking
down the sides. Through the large
cracks between the logs they could see
the man burning alive, and his contor-
tions were horrible to look upon. Sur
rounded by a fire, with his clothes
blazing, he was soon sobered by his
intense suffering, lifting bales Of burn
ing hay in his hands in his endeavors
to clear the way to the door. AT first
his hair blazed then they saw his eye
balls burst open from the intense heat,
and he fell to the floor
In his screams of agony before he
fell he cried "Water! Water'' and he
saw the small crowd outside and
screamed What are you all standing
there for when / am burning Help
me, for Gods sake !" Very soon after
he fell his sulferings ended in death,
but not before both arms had been
completely burned off. This morning
all that was taken from the ruins was
the headlcss trunk Of what had been a
man.

But inasmuch as this power over the
times and the prices of things is In
the Democrats, as suggested by the
Herald, we sincerely hope that there
are but few Democrats who will agree
with our neighbor, or join him IN
again plunging the country into the
hard times from which we are so rap
idly escaping The people continue
to vote the Republican ticket merely
because they did not know that we
were indebted to the Democrats in the
present Congress for the present rise
in the price of "pig iron" "Since the
Democratic party got possession OF
both Houses of Congress" much has
been laid to its charge, and for which
it is now and will be held to answer
such as attempting to starve out the
Government, its army, and officers in
some branches of its service. But OF
all the charges that have. been made
against it, that of causing good times,
or the rise in "pig iron" or anything
else, cannot justly be laid to it. Its
policy has rather been of a "back
action" character.

Tho Drought in tho West.

CINCINNATI, October 20-The Ohio
river is lower than it has been for
twenty years. At hundreds of points
between here and Pittsburgh it can be
forded easily. Scarcely a boat is to be
seen. Navigation is nearly suspended,
and freight is piled up in great quanti-
ties at all points between Pittsburgh
and Louisville, waiting for the rise
that many predict will not come this
season. The stage of the water has
not been sufficient for the transporta-
tion of coal since July, and the conse-
qucnce is that the price Of that COM
modify in Cincinnati has doubled since
that time. There is not enough coal
on hand in the yards to supply the
demand for ten days. If there are no
heavy rains within that time the city
will be dependent for supplies upon
the railroads, at whatever cost OF trans
portation they may choose to adopt.
At Pittsburgh every craft on tie river
that can be converted to such use is
filed with coal waiting for the water
to rise. The accumulation is the great
est that has ever been known, amount
ing to Is, 200, 900 bushels. The drought
is beginning to have a serious effect
upon the growing wheat. 1t has
brought the Hcssian fly, which in
many localities in Southern Indiana is
doing great mischief The area sown
to wheat is much greater than last
year, but the drought and the appear
ance of the fly have had the effect Of
persuading farmers who have not sold
this years crop to hold on to it for
still higher prices.

Iron, Then and Now.

Large as has been the advance in
iron and manufactures of iron, to-day's
prices are still very far from approach
ing those of 1872. The best foundry
pig iron is quoted at the shipping ports
at $3l per ton to-day, against Sl762
in 1878, and s4s.87k in 1872. New
iron rails are quoted at S4S050 at
tide-watcr to-day, against $3.50 in
1878, and $S5 in 1872. Steel rails are
now valued at s5O@54, against S43.26
in 1878, and $ll2 in 1872. Ordinary
refined iron is now quoted at $6S per
ton of 2,24O pounds, against $43@44
in 1873, and $95@l0O in the latter
part of 1872

The Common School teachers OF the
county assembled in the Court House
on Monday and are now in session.
The proceedings so far have been inter-
esting and instructive, but we are
unable to give them in detail as yet
Several strangers and educators are
present assisting in the exercises. On
Monday evening addresses were made
by Prof. Angel, of Allegheny county,
and Mr.. George X. Balph, of this
place. Mr.. Balph handled his subject
with much ability and his effort is well
spoken of by all who were present.

How to Vote.

There are but two officers to vote
for in this county on next Tuesday, a
State Treasurer and a county Jury
Commissioner. Therefore there are
but two tickets to be made up by the
voter when he comes to vote. One
will be headed Estate" and have the
name OF the candidate for State Trea-
surer thereon. The other will be
headed County" and have the name
Of the candidate for Jury Commissioner
thereon. These tickets must be voted
separately.

New York.

The State election Of New York
comes of next Tuesday, Nov. 4th, the
same day as in this State. AS there
is q Governor to elect in New York,
and as its result will have considera-
BILE bearing upon National politics and
prospective Presidential candidates for
next year, it is looked to with great
interest. There are two Democratic
candidates for Governor and the sue
cess Of the Republicans would seem
assured, although their candidate is
not the most popular one.

The Pittsburgh Commercial Ga
zette of Monday last, in referring to the
conviction of the Mcssrs Riddle in
the Quarter Sessions of Allegheny
county, and the finding Of true bill
in the u. S. District Court against
the Cashier of the Montrose National
Bank, says, very truly, that these
cases
Furnish warning to all bank Of
icers and directors who use the funds
of the bank for their individual interest
The lesson which this verdict
teaches is, that there is false and
dangerous standard of morality among
bank officers, which becomes abso-
lutely criminal when tested under the
severe, though just and necessary re-
strictions, which the law has thrown
around those who deal with the money
Of shareholders and depositors."

PENNSYLVANIA.

The election in this State will occur
next Tuesday. Are our Republican
friends of Butler county fully aware
of this fact !? Although but State
Treasurer is to elect, yet that is an i'm
portant office, and there should be a
full turn out to the polls. Pennsyl-
yania is still the second State Of the
Union, and her position in our National
politics has always been potential, as
"the Keystone State" State pride
appeals to her Republicans not to see
her political fame and name pass into
the hands of our opponents. Let
there, then, be full turn out on next
Tuesday.
