AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS OF THE
COUNTY.

AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS OF THE
COUNTY.
The Commissioner of Statistics sends
us tabular statement of the acreage
sown and the quantity produced in Min
nesota in 1878, and the acreage for 1870.
From this we compile the following
fucts as to Mobiles county:
ACREAGE SOWN IN 1878.
Wheat Oats Corn Barley Sugar Cane
1924 3,842 1871 $40 5
CROPS RAISED IN 1878.
Wheat Oats Corn Barley Sugar c
Gal. Syrup.
ACREAGE sOwN IN 1870.
Wheat Oats Corn Barley Sugar G.
1850 8,555 5,675 1904 y.
Showing an Increased acreage of over
one.third on wheat; nearly one-llalf on
eats; two-thirds on corn, nearly one
half on barley and nearly everything on
sugar cane. This is certainly a marked
progress and shows that our county is
going ahead at least.

THE LYONS WEAVER CASE.

The Mankato correspondent Of the
Pioneer Press gives the following is
Lyons testimony in the alleged rape
case and the decision Of judged johnson:
The; defendant, Josiah Lyons. was
next SWornand lleniedthe Whole charge
of assault with intent to rape i'm full.
lie said briefly the morning Of Aug. s I
was coming from the Milwaukee House:
and when nearly opposite the Weaver
residence, heard i voice say somebody's
in 4 hurry this morning. / stooned
down and looking under the foliage of:
the trees saw Mrs. Weaver in her gar
den. I went in and talked to her.
Everything was pleasant and agreea-
BILE.
Mr.. Freeman objected here, and 2
sharp tilt of some duration followed be-
tween the counsel. However, Mr.. Pfau
carried his point, and witness contin-
ued: Mrs. Weaver invited me back to
dinner.
Did you take hold of her in the morn
ing: Yes, l took hold of her three or
four different times, playing, fooling
and waltzing round the room. Sic
showed me a new rocking chair; I rock
ed her two or three times, took hold of
Ter and gave her little pinch on her
leg. She said nothing.
Here followed Il long story about Ly-
ons coming from town returning for
dinner, and what transpired.:at the
house. However nothing new was
brought out, except he denied any at
tempt at rape.
DR.. Snow was called and sworn. lie
stated the color of the bruises on Mrs.
Weaver's person, unless inflicted by q
severe blow from a stick Of wood or
hammer, would at first be red, and in
no case would it appear black or blue
or greenish III less than twenty to TWEEN
ty-fOur hours. 3,
Joseph Brennan was next called; and
said he saw plaintiff and defendant at
the post Office i'll this city the evening
of August 5th, and heard Mrs. Weaver
invite Lyons to call. FURTHER than this
he knew nothing. This closed the ex-
animation, and Mr.. Plan made all able
appeal for his client. Mr.. Freeman
spoke in behalf OF the State, and his
was al eloquent plea.
Judge Johnson balanced his scales,
weighed the evidence and decided I4y-
ons guilty. and that parsonage was re-
turned to Jail. It is not known what
further proceedings will be taken i'll the
case.

they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than Il quarter of century, and have
obtained Il worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilativc organs of the
body, and are SO composed that obstr,c-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or cvadc them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have balllcl the best Of
human skill. While they produce power
fiji effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their apericnt action they grippe much less
than the common purgativcs, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inhamcd.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
tom the clements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates. containing neither calomcl

A London paper III describing late
sermon by Rev. Father Ignatius in the
parish of Slapton, Devonslire, Eng
land, says:
1.-The sermon WaS-even for him
most extraordinary, rendered all the
more SO by the wildness of his gesticu-
lation. The greatest excitement was
produced by the believing forth, us
with voice of thunder, the following
sentences: AS 1 look out into this
church-yard, l see the graves Of hum
dreds and of thousands Of former villa
gers who have gone away. Where are
they gone? Where? Where? 10 hell
orheaven? Which? 10 heaven? Not
half of them. Your mother is IN he'll;
your father is IN helU' My dear peo-
ple,' added the preacher, you lave not
been accustomed to be spoken to OPEN
]y, and in 4 matter-of fact business like
way, about your souls. You are talked
to as if religion was sentimental,

Father Ignatins isn't smart. lie
might know that his hearers would
want to 60 where tl.eir fathers and their
mothers and their cousins and their
aunts were gone. BY that kind of
preaching lie will drive them all into
hell.

THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIST.
Homestead Decision.


In case our readers may be need
lessly concerned, in regard to a re-
cent decision by Judge in Home
stead suit, published in a late issue of
our paper, we give the following
opinion of the Land Commissioner,
received by one of our residents.
Sir In reply to your letter have
to state, that under section 1927 of
the revised statutes of the United
States, if homestead party before
the expiration of the prescribed period
of settlement and cultivation, actually
changes his residence or abandons
the land embraced in his entry, for
more than six months at any time,
and the fact is satisfactorily proven
after due notice to the party, he for
feits his entry, and the land reverts
to the Government, but it it appears
that the party did not Intentionally
change his residence, or abandon
the land, and that his absence there
from, was owing to stress of circum-
stances, as if sickness should detain
him elsewhere, the case will be con-
sidered in all its circumstances, and
decision rendered upon its merits
