FROM MISSISSIPPI.
Kinds Comfy.

Editor Patr0H.' On the goth of
August, at our Grange, quite a
large number assembled, and we
were highly entertained by adj
dresses from Governor John M.
Stone, Colonel w. L. Hemingway,
State Treasurer of Mississippi, and
our immediate Representative Con-
gresham, Hon. Charles E. Hooker,
upon the interests and the immense
benefits to be achieved through
our grand Order, the Patrons of
Husbandry.
Governor Stone, though not
member Of our Order, is in hearty
sympathy with the Agricultural in
terest of our country. The other
speakers, being Patrons, spoke
highly of the workings and benefits
to be derived from our Order with
great effect upon the large audience
assembled. After which, bounti-
full dinner of good things" was
served; then music and dancing
was engaged in by some of the
young people, and every thing
passed off we'll with happy results
for our noble cause.
We have removed our Grange
from Jackson, four miles west in
the country, where we have already
made several accessions to our now
respectable number. ....
The PATRON OF HUsBANDRX is
very highly appreciated by those of
US who take it; and we viii be
much disappointed if our club will
not soon be greatly increased. We
viii try and do our best for you
and will endeavor to keep the ball
rolling.
We are proud to hear of the
grand results of Worthy Master
Darden's efforts. He is a grand hero
in the cause. While he is working
elsewhere for the advancement of
the Order, we are using our utmost
endeavors' here and we are now
working finely, and we will show
Judge Harris that this Grange is
not yet DEAD"

A Man Nailed TO His Seat in IL Fourth
! Avenue Horse Car by II 'Snake-iiead'
New Ynrk nernll Eoh Is


Car No Z, OF tue Fourth avenue line,
was going uptown yesterday afternoon
at about ! 80 O'Clock filled with passen-
gers, including number of ladies. AT
Twelfth street the progress of the car
was suddenly arrested. The horses had
been trotting six-mile gait. Before
anybody in the car could move, q long
strip OF iron forced its way endwise
through the floor Of the car, passed
through the seat on the west lower cor
ner, on which Samuel Glover, 40 years
old, merchant Of Fairfield, Conn, was
sitting, and, crushing through the thin
seat. penetrated Mr.. Glover's thigh, and
passing on, lodged against the end OF
the car. The car was brought to a
standstill. The strip of IRON vas in
such position that Mr.. Glover, who
had become almost unconscious from
the agony he was suffering, was literally
nailed to his seat. Officer Mulcahey, of
the Mercer street police, came u >, and,
procuring axes and saws, with the assist
ance of several OF the passengers, cut
away the rear end of the car to release
Mr.. Glover. After fifteen minutes hard
work the rail was released from its
Judgment, but still the unfortunate pas
senger could not be released. With a
penknife Officer Mulcahey managed to
cut away the lacerated flesh of Mr..
Glover's thigh, and to release him. A
hack was procured and ho was taken to
the Ashland House, where he was stop
ping. Physicians were sent for and
pronounced his injuries exceedingly
serious.

I'm the Only Man on Your Side.

In one of the western states case
was tried and at its termination the
Judge charged the jury and they retired
for consultation. Hour after hour
passed and no verdict WAS brought IN.
The Judges dinner arrived, and he be-
came hungry and impatient. Upon IN
oniry he learned that one obstinate
iuryman was holding out against elev-
en-. That he could not stand, and he
ordered the twelve men to be brought
before him. He told them that in his
charge to them he had so plainly stated
the case and the law that the verdict
ought to be unanimous, and the man
who permitted mis- individual opinion
to weigh against the judgment OF
eleven men Of wisdom was unfit and
unqualified ever again TO act in the
capacity of jurymen. At the end OF
this exciting harangue little
soueaky voice came from one Of the
iurvmen. He said: Judge, viii your
honor allow me to say word?" Per
mission being given, he added: "Msy
it please your honor, / am the only

Wants 10 Race.
New Orleans Picayune.


There is an. opportunity now offering
for a test of the newest and fastest
boats. If the city of St. Louis will raise
a purse of $4,000 or $4,000 we can
get up race next June, which will
eclipse the famous race of June, 1870.
There are three or four boats here
which might enter. Ia addition to the
purse put up by St. Louis, each boat
pays S., 1000 entrance fee, which amount
is added to the purse. The boat max
ing the fastest time to receive all of the
fund, save $1,000, which amount will
be Given to the second boat, thus max
ing her stake money good. So as to
avoid the excitement, it Is proposed
that each boat entering the race shall
leave on a separate day. That IS, if
there are three boats in the race, they
viii draw cuts which shall leave first,
second, and third; and if the first leaves
on 9 p. m. on Monday, the second shall
leave at the same hour on Tuesday,
and the third at the same hour on
Wednesday. Capt. feathers says he is
ready to come in with the Natchez. If
the St. Louis people don't care about
making up purse, we make the same
offer to Louisville. Whichever city gets
it will be benefited. Now, gentlemen,
get up your purse, and let us know
which is really the fastest boat on the
western waters.

Another Flood.

There was so much splitting of tobac-

Ohio, that Prof. Proctor took notice OF
it and made mathematical calculation

extruded in this unpleasing way in Ohio
in the course of year would, il uni
rormly distributed, correspond to the
addition of film of moisture no thick
er than a postal card over the entire
state. Then if there are about 200 postal
cards to the inch there would in mil
lion years be formed a sea about JAG
yards deep over the entire state. And
as in the course of my lecture had oc-
casion to speak of the earth's future dur.

to follow dreadful thought9 that the
