DAYS AGO.
FAIRMoNT. Mimi. May lj.-Doubtless
you have read telcgraphic accounts of a
meteor which passed over northwestern
Iowa last Saturday afternoon. Many of
our citizens saw the fiery ball in its areal
flight and plainly heard the explosion. the
noise resembling the sound of a cannon
far in the distance. To-night's mail from
Estherville. Iowa, (hirty-two miles dis
tant from this place. brings news OF the
meteor thaving struck terra firma at u
point three miles north of Estherville,
and about four miles from the Minnesota
line. Ii descended about 3 p. m, and
was Witnessed by hundreds of astonished
citizens. Its first appearance was that Of
IL ball of fire about the size of a water
pail, passing at fearful rate of speed and
leaving long trail of black smoke. The
citizens assembled at once to the place
where the meteor fell, and discovered II
hole in the ground--a blue clay soil
fourteen feet across. while the dirt had
been scattered in all directions for twenty
rods around. \ corps of shovelers was at
once organized, and the meteor discovered
fifteen feet below the surface of the ground.
1t was about the size of bushel basket
and weighed $50 pounds. A halfpound
specimen of the heavenly visitor is in the
possession of the Sentinel of this place.
1t is II metallic substance. and is invulner-
able to the strongest acids. 1t is a queer
specimen, and is heavier than iron or any
other metals. Auditor Whtcomb got
small piece as a keepsake, which presents
all the appearance of melted metal.

THE MELANCHOLY ICE.FIEND.
BY X. X, M,

The ice-man now doth sigh and groan,
AS he upon the corner stands,
And In his pockets drives his hands,
And looks demure deserted, lone.
Hisspirits now within him sink.
Like barks upon stormy sea,
He seems but a nonentity,
Whom none Will ask to take drink.
To all who now his visage see
He seems no more a cavalier,
Gallant and gay, but doth appear
A flower of sweet humility.
An, now he gazes on the spot
with melancholy smiles and sighs,
And pensive looks and fearful eyes.
Where stands the golden chariot.
On which he floated like the wind.
His soul with glory seeming shot.
He deemed himself a 'demigod,
And kicked the small boy Off behind.
But soon Will summer come again.
And bring straw hats and merry cheer.
And seaside Jaunts and lager beer.
And scatter flowers On the plain.
Then will the ice-man be elate,
And proudly like warrior frown,
And camly knock your hat-stand down
And coolly swipdle you in weight.
His eye, will glisten like a pearl,
As he from house to house will go
And patronizing winks bestow
Adroitly on your servant girl.
The average breast would greatly cheer
Society would deem 1t grand.

THE FLY IN WHEAT.-This is a serious question
for the consideration of farmers at the present time
vast amount of damage has been done by it. We
have been asked to look for remedy in az
ricuftural exchanges; but We have not yet found
any, and know nothing of the subject ourself, We
shall have to rely upon the experience and knowl-
edge of of subscribers, from whom we shall
be pleased to hear 1t has been suggested that many
persons sow wheat early in this country, follow
ing the practice of the far East where such sowing
is best. Late sown wheat, it is said has suffered
less than any other One person gives it as his opin
ion that in fields where the wheat is much damaged,
the farmers had better pillow up the whole crop, and
pnt the field in somethin: else, in the Spring. He
gives it his opinion that the eggs have been laid
in these fields and will hatch out in the SPRING and
will destroy spring wheat, if sown on the same
ground where the fall wheat is plowed mp. If any
others have suggestions, shall be pleased to re-
cord them.
