Generally there seems TO be an inclins-
ton to move carefully, and the market as
a whole is free from active or exciting
features. Manufacturers continue under
some uncertainty over the prospect for
that product, and while willing to admit
that the present cost of wool cannot be
called high, are not convinced that any
thing is TO be made by investing with
freedom. and thus forming a basis upon
which to stimulate values. The inquiry,
therefore, in the main Is confined TO par

The ssese Of Wssinesday's Catastrophe
The Great Tunnel Underneath the Hud.
son.
The terrible accident Of Wednesday
draws attention to the great project with
which it will ever be historically and ira.
gically connected. 1t is known as the
Hudson Railroad tunnel, and it has al
ready progressed 800 feet, 200 feet being
under the bed Of theriver. The course Of
the tunnel will be a straight line from Pier
No. 3, Jersey City, which is between the
depots Of the Erie and Lackawanna rail-
roads, 10 Pier No. ~ at the foot Of Monroe
street In the city. Work Is to advance
from both ends. The extreme length will
be two and one.hali miles. The Thames
Tunnel is but ], 200 feet. The company do
not intend to engage in the transportation
Of freight, believing that the capacity Of
the tunnel will be fully exhausted by the
demands Of the passenger traffic. Traini
will be drawn by engines driven by com
pressed air. The tunnel will be compile
ted in the year 1888. For the building Of
the Thames tunnel seventeen years were
required. The soundings showed depth
of water ranging from ten to sixty
feet, the shallowest part OF the river
being on the New Jersey side; and
the deepest near the New York shore
where the river channel proper il
found. The borings determined that the
bottom Of the river was silt,-a nice
name for nasty mud, OF blue.black colol
in this instance,-growing more and more
tenacious the further it was penetrated
Underlying it is bed OF hard sand, ant
some gravel and rock. The silt varies ii
thickness from twenty-five to over l0t
feet. 1t is especially favorable for TUNE
construction, and through it the TUNE
will be pushed, with never less thar
twenty feet Of ikoverhead. The grade o
the tunnel, beginning at the New jersey
shaft, will be two feet to the 100 for 2,4O(
feet, gradually falling to six inches, anC
continuing at this figure for 1850 feet
The rock is then encountered, and, FOL
the remaining distance Of 1900 feet, thu
grade rises q feet to the 100. With the
impetus gained at either end train o
cars would be carried almost to the top or
the opposite side OF the river.

Editors IntelNgeneef:
In the issue OF the Wheeling Register, Of
the 14th inst, there appeared an article
with very heavy head line, purporting
to have been written at Parkersburg, and
entitled, "was he murdered?" We can
answer that question. No! This article
went on 10 state Of the disappearance Of
one James Cokely, OF this county, saying
that he was man Of money and that in
all probability he was murdered. What
ever gave rise to such story as this, We
are unable to say, but right here we charge
that there never was bigger falsehood
mt in print. We know Cokely and we
know him to be anything else than mon
eyed man, and II there is any one that is
anxious as to his whereabouts We take this
method Of informing him.
He is now staying at Berea, this
county. We think it very strange that
such cock and bull stories, about murders
and supposed murders having been pei.
petrated in this county, are fixed up and
given circulation through the various
newspapers Of our State. Now, we,desire
10 say here that when any high crime is
committed in this county we will i'm
mediately let II be known, and our people
here have the stamina to bring the Of.
fender to Justice and will do It. We will
do so too, without the aid oil redmen, or
lynch law or the author Of the Registers
article concerning the supposed murder oil
Ookely, aud all we desire in particular in
this article is to refute this vile SANDER
and let It publicly be known that in the
aforesaid article OF the Register, concerning
the supposed murder Of Cokely, there is
not one particle OF truth. Yours;

SECRETARY SHERMAN has issued detail
ed statement OF the reiunding transactions
since January, 1871. From this statement,
it appears that 1906, S47, 800 worth of
bonds have been refunded, and that the
annual saving in interest effected thereby
is $4,000, $3.50, Of which $4,000, 1880
arises from transactions by Secretary Sher-
man himself. The annual interest charge
on the entire public debt is now s6l, 1885,.
9l2. For redemption purposes 500, OOO, 900
in bonds haye been sold since March, 1877,
and the interest on these bonds amounts
to $685., 900, which represents the annual
cost Of the coin reserve held for the secu.
rity Of circulation. From this it will ap-
pear that the next annual saving through
the refunding and resumption operations
Of the past two years has been over SlO,-
100000. New bonds TO the value OF ST.
100000 were issued in 1878 to replace the
coin used in paying the Halifax Fishery
Award.

The glorious rain of last week will be
of ineStimable value TO the country.
While it may have come too late to help
the hay in some localities, in others, where
the crop is later, it will do good. We
believe it will, to a great degree, quench
the enthusiasm of the lively grasshoppers
which in pastures in our vicinity were in
dustriously harvesting the grass crop, to
the great disgust of the owners.
From many sections come reports OF
short hay crops. In Massachusetts some
papers report only one-half and some one.
third of a crop. In our vicinity new stock
will fall off but little, while old mowings
will fall off from one-lourth to third
which will be a very material falling off.
The careful farmer will supplement hi
crop as far as possible with Hungarian
grass and fodder corn, which may yet b,

The Army Worm.

For the past week we have had accounts
agreeing in the main of the ravages of the
army worm. Rhode Island, Massachu-
sets, and some portions Of New Hamp-
Shire report its presence with more or less
damage. One account asserts that the
damage done in some localities has been
greatly exaggerated, but there can be no
doubt that it is present in considerable
numbers in some localities, and has done
much damage and given considerable
trouble. There is no probability that we
shall be troubled with it in Vermont this
season. and rs its visits last but wear,
we shall not fear its future presence.

EnSilage.

We print this week couple of articles
from DIR. John NJ. Bailey, the apostle of
ensilage in New England, which we clip
from our esteemed exchange-the Massa
chusetts Ploughman. DR.. Bailey, as our
readers will see, is very enthusiastic on
the subject and purposes ensilaging grass
as we'll as corn.
VS. are inclined to believe that the next
five years will see good many sios put
in in Vermont, and if there are, it will
mean (if they are a success) keeping more
stock. raising larger crops, improving the
condition of our farms, depending less on
our pastures for summer feeding, and i'm.
proved methods of cultivation made nee.
essary by larger cultivated areas Who
of our wealthy and enterprising farmers
are going to build silos this summer?

Late Cut Hay.

We had, not long since, we believe, II
short talk on the proper time to cut hay,
referring to Farmer Sanborn's 1--WE won
der why people will persist in calling him
Professor when he is not one, and it
must therefore be unpleasant for hm)
experiments in feeding. We have firmly
believed in early cut hay, for the dairy at
any rate, but we have been making a
reality of that ideal barn this summer,
and stern reality it has been, too, and all
other work has had to take back seat,
and at this writing, July 10th, there is not
load Of hay cut on the farm, and we
seize on any crumbs Of comfort for the
fact which come in our way. One is
found in the fact that the crop has nearly
or quite doubled in quantity from the rains
we have had since the time we should
have begun if the barn had been ready te
store it. Another is afforded by Mr.. San
born's experiments, which we have before
referred to.
Below we print some remarks on the
subject from the New England Farmer, ir
which the matter is still further discussed
and the matter can hardly be called settled
where we have such eminent scientific au
thority and accurate careful experiments
in direct conflict.
Farmers, observe the effects on YOU
own stock and report:
Prof. Emil Wolfe of Germany, an emf
nent scientific authority, declares as the re-
suit of thirteen analyses of hay cut before
blooming, in bloom and after blooming
that in the first case it will contain eighty.
eight per cent of nutritive elements; in
the second sixty-two per cent and in the
third only thirty one per cent. Prof j
w. Sanborn of the New Hampshire agri
cultural college, has been putting the mat.
ter to a practical test, by six experiments
in feeding hay cut as above, and carefully
noting the results. AS will be seen by
the following extracts from his report, his
conclusions do not agree with those Of
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1880-07-14
Pressing Green Grass in SiIos.

Your request that would try the expert
ment of pressing green grass in silos as
well as other forage crops has received at
tention. Last week | ensllaged IL acres
of green rye, also two acres OF heavy
grass. The rye was little too ripe, l
thought, therefore it would be advanta.
geous to run through the cutter load OF
The green grass to every three or four
loads of the green rye. The rye was in
that stage when the grains are about hall
formed.
Upon the u acres of rye and two acres
have secured about so tons of ensilage.
Since putting it in the silos and weighing
it with stone about Is inches deep all over
the surface it has settled about Is to 20
inches. There has been no steam or un-
pleasant Odor from the mass, which is 40
feet long. ~ feet wide and IL feet deep

hay. | have finished haying all but some
10 acres of low wet meadow. If the army

stored the equivalent of SIS to GO tons OF

to have them eat up nv ten acres of Mann

This is the end of the sixth trial and all

WINGED, against my previous judgment,
that the doctrines in vogue in favor of
early cutting hay have been carried to a
great excess, and that it is probably true
that hay had better be cut at some period
not determined, after bloom. While not
asserting that the fact is proven that it is
more nutritious then, consider it more
than probable that it is; and when the
amount of nutrition per acre is considered.

continue these investigations.
Recent discoveries in the chemistry OF
plant analysis have somewhat modified
the theoretical values that chemists would
attach to grass cut at different periods OF
growth, in favor of later cut hay. or hay
approaching maturity. In the earlier
stages of growth large part of the nitro
gen heretofore reckoned as albuminoids
has been found to be -albuminoid com
pounds, and generally assumed to be non
flesh forming. In eighteen samples OF
hay analysed at the Connecticut expert
mental station, this non-albuminous nitro
gen varied from 1893 per cent to 1886 pei
cent of the total nitrogen. Prof. Golfers
analyses have shown large per cent Of
nitrogen compounds, while foreign results
where these facts were first brought out
are quite full in this direction. Notwith

In the meanwhile, while the question
