Jail Bnrned Last Night, and the
Prisoners at Large.

At 10 o'clock last night the quiet
and half-a.sleep little city of Grenada,
Mississippi, was aroused by the report
of two pistol shots, and shouts Of
murder" fire." etc., and agopizing
bowls in the direction Of the county
Jail. Crowds rushed half dressed TO
the scene and discovered the %iail-a
brick building-on FIRE. 1t burned
like a barn aud was soon in ruins.
There was but n guard on duty, and
he it was that fred the shots to alarm
the citizens. The prisoners who did
the bowling set the Jail on Gre. II
was a preconcerted plan to escape and
was successful. When the guard saw
that they must perish in the flames, if
not turned out, he opened the door
aud let them go. All were found
dressed and ready for the opportunity.
Two Of them YER badly burned, as it
was, but every oneof them-and there
were quite a number-made good their
escape before the citizens reached the
ground. Not one had been captured
at an early hour this morning. II was
a bold strike for liberty.

the green verdure of grass, from which
live stock can be fed.
5. Keep as much stock As can be fed

DOES Farming PAYS?

The following is taken from the
Breeders Live Stock Journal. 1t is
very sensible, and we commend it to
our farmers: Financially, farming
can be made to pay as handsome an
income, as any mercantile business,
with the same amount Of capital in
vested. One should keep in mind
that 1t requires capital to make money.
A mans capital should not be wholly
invested in his land. We think one
should cOnfine himself to what land
lie can work to profit. a man had
much better have $1,000 invested in
his land and 1000 in live stock than
So, 800 in his farm and $500 in stock.
We have seen farmers build house
costing from $1,000 to $1,000 while they
did not actually have SiOO worth of
stock on their place. We are strongly
inclined TO the opinion that farming to
he made to pay must be done through
stock raising. All men cannot do this
in the same channel, some men have
Il love for cattle, others for sheep,
while still others are born with a
genius for making good pork. But
whatever branch a man makes his
speciality, let him do il well and give
1t his best attention, and he will be
bound to succeed. Stock raising INTRO
duces a world of detail that must be
carefully attended to in every particu-
lar; for by neglect, a man will often
loose ground that will take him
months to make up. We recently saw
an account Of a man buying last fall,
600 sheep for $50 per head he fed
them literally on corn and oil cake
during the winter, keeping an aecu-
rate account Of the feed which he
found was 81 30 per head. He then
sod, last spring, 400 Of these same
sheep for 50 per head. He estimated
that the manure from these sheep,
alone, more than repaid him for all
his feed, and il can readily be seen
that besides getting back SlOO more
than the original outlay, he had 800
valuable sheep left. We have known
farmers to get, repeatedly, for their
corn, from sixty cents to Sl.OO bushel
when fed to stock at home, besides
having the valuable manure with
which to enrich their farms aud this
too without single day spent in haul
ing corn from three TO five miles TO
market. IL farmers would take pains
aud raise an improved class Of young
stock from a Thoroughbred sire, they
would grow a class of cattle, sheep or
hogs that would pay a large per cent.
more for the feed to them than young
stock than can be bought.

The rurner AT the south.

A corr, spondent from McCOmb City,
Miss asks US II the Turner raspberry
wi be a profitable fruit to grow in
that section for shipment TO Northern
markets. We cannot give satisIac-
tory reply. IL is question of soil II Is
grown upon, and how 1t Is picked and
handled, and marked. We believe the
Turner will grow rs plant in the
! South, and viii endure the long South
ern Summers perfectly well 1t re-
quires rich soil and careful culliva-
ton, and If it gets generous treatment
it will make II robust growth, and will
doubtless bear well. .f.
We presume that its ability to en-
dure the long transportation to market
contemplated by our correspondent,
will depend much upon the kind of
sol upon which it is grown. Upon
our Southern Illinois clay loan soils,
than anywhere else in the world, it
shipment, when properly gathered and
packed. Whether it will be as firm a
berry when raised on sandy, or n
black prairie soil, we very much
doubt. We have not tested it in this
TeSpGcU, Dul presume lllul ~ IN us SCH
sitive to differences of soil as the straw
berry. The sandy soils of South Mis-
sippi do not produce good shipping
strawberry; while the stiff clays of
that region yield Il berry of remark
able solidity and endurance We sug-
gest some caution in the selection OF
soils for the raspberry and other berry.
On land that suit it the Turner should
do well anywhere in the South; and
it would doubtless bring good prices in
any northern market in the early
season in which it would mature. =
Farmer and Fruit Grower.
We have about an acre in the rur-
ner raspberry, and have cultivated
this variety two or three years. If it
ripened one month earlier, no doubt it
would bear transportation to Chicago;
but as it comes into market when the
weather is warm, we have not been
able to get them through in good order.
The Turner is splendid berry and
is well suited TO our climate, but is a
little soft. We expect to try the Gregg
and Cuthbert, which are firmer. We
have the raspberry on clay soil, entire
ly free from sand.

Tom OehiItree and Jim Waco.

1t was seven or eight years ago, just
after the COburn Mace fdscO, and the
latter was still in the city. As he was
leaning against the bar number of
gentlemen and Tom Ochiltree was dis
cussing politics and prize fights in an
other part Of the room. Mace's won
derful experiences, in the use Of his
hands came up, and some one offered
to bet a basket of champagne that no
man, unless a professional, could get
in a bow on Mace's face. OchilIree
took the bet, walked deliberately over
to Mace and slapped his jaws. The
astOnished prize fighter looked at Tom
for moment and then let out from
the shoulder. 4 mass of red hair, a
cOrpulent body, legs and boots all
mingled in indiscribable confusion,
flew through the door and rolled out
over the brick banquette into the
street. While sympathetic bell boys
and laughing friends were straighten-
ing Tom out and patching his frag-
ments together, some gentlemen eX-
planned to Mace the circumstances of
the bet.
