MADRID BEND ITEMS.
MADRID BEND, NY,
May 9th, 1881,

4aaJ <HtHf A0O@s
Ed Cdlrier.-I have contemplated writ
ing you for some time but have neglected
to do so. The COURIER is ever a welcome
visitor, and it is with regret that we learn
of your contemplated retireme from
its control
The Bend is quiet. There is not more
peaceable neighborhood in the State.
Each one is pursuing the even tenor Of
his way. Farmers are busy, trying 10
regain the time lost during the last wet
spell of weather. Corn looks well, tho
it is little later than usual. There is a
general complaint of "bad stand, caus-
ed, it is supposed, by he germ being kill
ed by the cold weather of last winter.
Col. r. c. Everett, who is, perhaps, the
largest practical farmer in the bend, has
600 acress of corn which looks beautiful.
1t has been plowed once, and a portion of
it, twice.
The prospect for wheat is very fatter-
ing. Several heads that have examined
have three and four grains TO the mesh.
The army worm has made its appearance
in some of the wheat-felds, but not in
sufficient numbers to cause any alarm.
Our New Madrid neigh bors have been
greatly excited over the discovery, pur-
suit aud capture of a band of outlaws in
that vicinity. The last two of the gang
were captured in Wayne county, Mo last
Friday, by Capt. Lesser aud an assistant.
Before they were captured, they killed a
man and little girl near New Madrid, and
the sheriff and deputy of Wayne county.
They were brought to Madrid last Sunday
evening and put in Jail. Shortly after
dark, while Judge Lynch was organizing
his court to hang them in haste and try
them at leisure, the sheriff with two OF
three assistants took them out of Jail,
carried them around the town to the
river, placed them in a skiff and rowed
down the river about miles, hailed in
the Colorado; got on board and carried
them to st. Louis. l hear that much in
dignation is expressed in consequence OF
the sheriff. action.
Last week, we had the pleasure of
listening to an interesting lecture from
Judge kingman, on the subject of edu-
cation. Think it viii be productive OF
much good, as he succeeded in arousing the
dormant interest of the people on that
important subject.
Respectfully,

One night last week a mink entered
the "mink-proof' hen house of Judge
Bailey, by burrowing under sill two feet
under the ground, and the life-blood of
thirty-four grown chickens went to sat
isfy the voracious appetite of this little
animal.
Judging from the number that daily
indulge in the sport, we are led to believe
that fishing must be excellent; for at any
time can you see the small and the large,
the white and the black, with their rod
and tackle, trudging their way TO the
sloughs or the ponds around Hickman.

Mr.. James Roger, of Nashville, is IN
Hickman, preparing to enter the wheat
trade this season. He is liberal buyer
and upright gentleman, and his presence
in the Hickman market will be worth big
money to the wheat growers. Nashville,
just now, is leading ST. Louis in wheat
quotations from 6 to Sc. Mr.. Roger thinks
No. wheat viii open in Hickman at Sl.0O.
The army worm has made its ap-
pearance in the vicinity of Jordan, in
this county, and is doing considerable
damage among the wheat and grasses.
Messrs. Marion Shuck and VIM. Alexan-
der report their wheat already very ma
terially injured from this source. There
is time yet for much damage from this
worm, and no little fears are entertained
by the farmers FOR tine good of their crops.
