! oC which bear on their face the evidence OF
gigantic fraud, the Times of that city sug-
gests that the next time the census is
taken the contract for making the enumer
alton be let to the assessors. They would
b the boys to run the population up to
ov. r million.
IT is now evident to- the; Times tha the
Repul 'licans have greatly :bated their con-
fidence in Indiana within the last week,
while tn Democrats have, corresponding
ly increaA I'd in heart an6 hope, and will
now make things decidedly lively in boil,
Indiana and Ohio. The correspondence
which We publish elsewhere seems to bear
out this prediction.

OSTRICH farming is one Of the coming
industries in California. If carried on
properly it promises to he very profitable.
4 good feather bird will produce from $50
| to s125 worth of feathers every eight
months, and the breeding birds viii! nest
four times year, Matching to the pair on
an average Of twenty chicks each time,
which arc worth, if tho old birds arc good
ones, $3S to SO at two weeks old then, as
they advance in age they also advance in
value. The cock bird docs nearly all tic
Matching, and can usually cover twenty
two eggs. All above that number laid by

ONE by ono the campaign canards arc
nailed. The Carlisle Herald, 7ribune,

come from Congressman BeltZhOover, con-
cerning which he telegaaphs to the
Times: 81 was absent from home when
the letter purporting to have been written

that 4 pension bill could not be passed bc-
cause the rebels in the lIausc and Senate
were opposed to pensions, appeared in the
Carlisle Herald and the Philadelphia
Press, and l did not sec line Of it until
this morning. 1t is an infamous forgery.
There was no occasion or necessity for
such letter and no reason why it should
have been writtcn.'

suits in Alabama was the extraction Of
party funds from Jewell to be pockctcd Ivy
Republicans and Grccnback traders, jew
ell retired from the Arkansas partnership

sition to the Democratic ticket. Thomas

| THE ninth quarterly report of the Penn
sylvania board of agriculture for June,
July and August is largely devoted to the
report of the boards chemist on the an
alyses of the different fertilizers offered
for sale in this state. In the crop reports
for the year 1880 wheat is reported infcri-
or in quality to the crop Of 1879 corn will
far outdo last years crop; twenty-cight
counties show an increased acreage of oats,
but on the whole the crop is less; hay has
been generally light; the early potatoes,
though light CROP were Of exceptionally
good quality. There is no general report
Oh tobacco. In the special Lancaster
county report it is noticed that barbed
wire fences are being introduced posts a
rod apart, and five wires cost cf locust
posts eighteen cents cost Of fence for
four-wirc fence seventy nine cents, and for
five wires seventy-nine cents per rod of
fence" Also that this county falls off
per cent in fat cattle this year, and per
cent in poultry. The average yield of
crops per acre is given as wheat 81, rye %,
oats 81, corn Sc, potatoes 1885, hay 2,100
pounds. The first prospect is generally
excellent. Lancaster county promises 81
per cent increase in apples over last year
and 10 per cent in peaches.
