found a name on the inside, but it cor
responded with none of the successive
pastors of the church occupying the

retained it and while visiting in New

it to the lady whom he supposed to be the
original possessor. She recognized il

find that the twin children of Jno. Farley had
been drowned in atub OF water during the

The children were only few months old. The
parents are very poor, and Farley is given to
drinking. Both deny the crime, but Farley
says he thinks his wife did They have
three other children.
The people in Findlay, Ohio, were
startled on Monday, August %, by the discov.
cry that Rev. Charles L. Crawthers, who had
been pastor Of the Evangelical church, had
suddenly left the place on the Saturday night
previous with his family and goods for Eng

Barney Wichers, young man just 90
years of age, son OF Autone Wichers. of Fari.
bault Rice county, Minn., was out hunting on
East PIairie, August %, and while he was put
ting his gun into the wagon it was accident
ally discharged, the entire load passing
through the left leg little below the hip
severing the femoral artery. He was put in
the wsgon and driven home as fast as posi-.
ble,and Drs. Rose and Wood summoned, who
did ali IN their power to save him, but all to
no avail. He died in about an hour after
reaching home, and an hour and half after
the accident. Barney was promising young
man, general favorlte with all. For several
years past and up to the time of his death he
was head clerk in the dry goods house of J..
W. Kollman, in that city. His life could un-
doubtedly have been saved if it had not
been for the gross carelessness OF his friends,
who through their excitement did nothing
towards staying the flow of blood.

Oae Of the results OF the many civil
wars which have been waged in Spain,
is list of officers out of al proportion
to the strength of the armed forces. Each
party as it has succeeded to power has
been Obliged to reward its sdherents in
the army by giving them promotion, and
thus the list of officers, of higher rank
especially, have continually increased in
length. At present there are no fewer
than 5ss generals on the active list of the
army, though the fetal strength of the
latter. even including the national
guards, provincial mstiI!a, aud the car.

The Republican papers are busily trying
to make out that Col. Pelton died martyr
to Mr.. Tilden's cruelty. A cock and bull
story has been trumped up in which it is
stated that Pelton was compelled to shoulder
the sins of his uncle. Of which he, himself,
was guiltless. Mr.. Tilden, it is alleged,
knew all about the cipher dispatches, and
the attempt to bribe electors, and was at the
bottom Of the entire plot. In order to
shield himself, however, he threw the blame
upon Pelton, who became scapegoat in the
hope that time would set him right He
carried this burden to his grave, and died of
broken heart, caused by the defeat of Til
den at Cincinnati, which dissipated all hope
Of redress in this world. This may be good
enough trash for Republican papers to print,
but as there is not word of truth in the
whole story, and all sensible people know it,
no harm will be done to Mr.. Tildeu. Though
Pelton was probably blamed for some things
Of which he was guiltless, he was no saint.

Telegraphed reports from all along the
Northern Pacific, in Minnesota and Dakota,
Monday, were uniformly highly encouraging
as to the prospects of the growing grain crops.
The estimates of wheat yields are generally
large. These reports included an interesting
one from misunderstanding Because it re-
lates to the success of the first farmers who
have settled beyond the Missouri. The
indications seem to be that they will have
equal to the best wheat yield of all the North.
ern Pacific country. A sample of Norwegian
wheat. SO called, was received here yesterday
from the Barney farm near Mandan. Whether
it is valuable new variety Of grain does not
appear, but the sample Is proof positive that
wheat is doing well in that region.
A st. Paul gentleman, just returned from
Martin county, says the wheat there has i'm.
proved twenty-fv per cent. in the last twelve
days. and looks splendidly. In three days
journeyings among the wheat fields of that
county he saw only two or three exceptions.
BE thinks the yield there will generally run
