Death Of Gen. WOrfhinnfon.

Gen. James T. WorthingtoD, a
true gentleman of the old school, "
and one of the first white persons
born in Ohio, died at 'Adena," his
pleasant country seat, near Chilli
eothe, August 11th, in the seth year
of his age. The spacious and well
preserved stone mansion in which he
was born, and where he dispensed
hospitality to his troops Of friends
for so many years past, was built by
his father, Gov. Worthington, and
was filled with euriosities collected
by the General during his long and
honorable life, which he took great
pleasure in showing to allwho called
TO see him, o privilege which the
writer enjoyed some years ago. The
General had a pet hobby that figs
could be raised successfully in this
climate, aud we believe he did suc
teed in raising some good specimens,
but they probably "cost more than
they came to- ami we have heard
nothing of his fg culture for q NUM-

Ninth Cincinnati ExposifiOn.

The ninth great exposition of in
dustry and art, to be held in Cincin-
natl from September 7th to October
6th, is of national Importance.
These expositions have exhibitors
from every State; the high standard
Of exhibits is maintained, and the
awards, based on competition only,
with expert tests in mechanical devi-
ces, are the highest awards in this
Countrywide international exhibition
at Philadelphia in 1876 alone except
ed.
The object and aim of the Cincin-
natl industrial exposition is the pro
motion of art and INDUSTRY.
Tt is a museum in which is exhibit
ed for a short time the present state
of the arts and Industries of the
United States.
It's awards from year to year mark
the progress Of our people in inven-
tions, and in all the industrial arts.
That these awards of the Cincin-
uatl industrial exposition, being given
only for first degree of merit, and
upon competition, are of more value
than any awards made in America, is
due, first, to the fact that it is an ex-
position for the exhibit of the indus
tries and arts, and not a bazaar or
fair for the sale of articles; and, sec
ondIy, to the fact that it is gratui-
tously managed for the citizens of
the great city in which it is held, By
commissioners appointed by the rep
resentativa bodies Of the merchants,
the tradesmon aud the mechanics Of
that city.
More than three million visitors
have attended its displays.
This wear the variety Of new cx-
hibits offered makes the exhibition
more attractive than ever before.

Ohio Wheat Crop.

The August Crop Report Of the
State Board Of Agriculture is nearly
ready for distribution. It presents
an exceedingly accurate estimate of
Of the wheat crop just harvested, bas-
cd upon actual measurements of yield
per acre for three weeks threshing
by about 1000 thresbing machines
in alI parts Of the State, and can not
vary far from the bottom facts in the
. case. The July estimate was n per
cent. This gives Y per cent, as
the wheas did not fill so well ds
. seemed likely July l. Crop last year
52,500000 bushels. The acreage
in the FIRST column is THAT ascertain
ed by the tax assessors IL May last,
and came through county auditors.
The estimate for oats is 10Y per cent
or 90 million bushels against q
millions last year. The present pro
liabilities for corn are 70 per cent.
Of last year, or "a million bushels,
against los millions last year.
The Crop report viii contain full
statistics for 1880, and full table of
analysis and valuations of commercial
fertilizers up to August IS. The full
report viii be ready to mail about
September 1, and may be had on

A Short Corn CrOD.

The Ohio Farmer Of Aug. 9th
says The Ohio August Crop Re
port places the corn crop at 70 pei
cent. of last years. But it must be
remembered that a great many Of the
reports upon which this estimate is
based were made two weeks ago OF
over, and drought in many sections
since that time has reduced the pros
pect materially. In the vicinity OF
Cleveland everything is literally dried
up. Corn and potatoes viii be fail

State have had enough rain to keep
corn growing nicely, but dry weather

ssBiIl ArD's'' View Of Preachers.

I like the preachers. They hold US back
from going to extremes. They are the con-
servatives. They are good citizens and set
US good example. They are the balance
wheels Of society, the Scotch to the wagon,
the air. brakes 10 the train, the pendulum
to the clock. They are like the Sabbath
that gives US rest and peace. They are to
society what the judge is to the law. Hove
'em all, and when they are blotted out,
which God forbid, want to go. too. In
sickness. in trouble, in affection, yea in the
last agonies they are with us and comfort
us, while the busy world wags on. God
bless the preachers of this land-the preach
ers of every creed that teaches love to our
Creator and love and kindness to one an
other. Nevertheless, / sometimes feel
sorry for the preachers children, for the
good man is so afraid he will do wrong he
leans the other way. 1t did me good the other
day when saw one of 'em take his children
to see the circus procession. 1t was so kind
and considerate. If they can't let the little
chaps see the circus, do LET em see the pro-
cession. By and by, maybe, they will get
old enough to be trusted within the canvas
and see the pretty horses in the ring and
the men ride round, hear the clown crac
his jokes and laugh at him because he is
such fool. don't admire these folks
who are always laughing whether a thing
is funny or not, and never did like to see
a pretty girl giggling at every thing that hap
pened; but still it is better to laugh than to
be crying. The world is not draped in
mourning. The birds sing and the butter
flies float around in the happy sunlight. At
night the cricket chirrups on the hearth and
the katydid sings his evening song; sweet
flowers are blooming everywhere, and Sol
onion in all his glory was not arrayed like
one of these. Ali nature is happy except q
few snakes and hyenas, and don't want to
be like them.-Atldnta Constitution.

EIOm LILO 1IUuuUu iSlu
In the July number of the Quarterly Re-
vieav, published in 1888, Mr. Apperly (alias
"Nimrod") venture d upon startling and
daring prophecy. cit is in the New World
that is to say, America he remarked,
shat mcing and the consequent improve
ment of horses are making the most rapid
progress; so much so, indeed, as, from the
excellent choice the Americans make Of
their stud horses, to incline some persons
to the opinion that, in the course of half
another century, We shall have to 60 10 the
United States to replenish our own blood,
which must degenerate If that of the most
sound and enduring quality is transported
to that country" Fifty years, save two,
have elapsed since these words were writ
ten, and behold! the autumn of 1881 has
seen their fulflment. In each of the last
three meetings held at Newmarket this year,
Mr.. j. R. Keenes magnificent colt Foxhall
gave abundant evidence OF his quality and
excellence by going.on crescendo from the
first to the second October meeting, and
finally setting the seal upon his matchless
fame by winning the Cambridgeshire in the
Houghton meeting at an unprecedented
weight. Foxhall is at this moment the best
horse in the world. 1t is to Mr.. Keene's
colt that Englishmen must look for sire
capable of infusing new vigor and stamina
into what must, we fear, be pronounced q
declining breed Of horses; and it would be
singular climax to Foxhalrs unique Ca
reer if some wealthy English purchaser
should induce Mr.. Keene-w which we think
little likely-to part with the grandest horse
In existence.

had been trying to doctor for footret over
twelve years, but could get no permanent
cure before testing the above. He trims the

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
writing from Hancock county in that state,
saws that potatoes are largely shipped from
Minnesota to that county, and are readily
sold for $1.20 per bushel.
A baking or jibbing horse it is said may
be easily started by taking up his near fore
foot with the left hand, asa blacksmith
does for shooting, then prick him gently be-
hind the RIBS with spur in the right hand.
The horse feeling powerless to move thus
held, as soon as his foot is set down starts
at once and goes off without further trou-

A correspondent of the Eng hsh Agricul-
turtN Gazette says that they expended one-
fourth the money in improving utility
horses which they have done on racers,
they would not now be obliged to depend
on foreign countries. as they ore now do
ing, for any part ef the number necessary
for every day uses. He speaks particular
ly of those with ''short, stout, muscular
legs, clean and flat" This is point which
cannot be too often strongly urged upon
American horse breeders.
What is the use of being giant if one
does not use the strength Of "a giant? And
what is the use Of having pair of Norman
or Percheron or Norman p ercheren--or
whatever else they may bs-horses weighing
more than two tons and keeping them
drawing pillow that makes but one furrow.
With pair Of those monstrous and pow
erful horses the prairie farms should use
gang plews having at least two, il not three,
shares, and so do the work of two or three
pair of small horses
G.. w. Hoffman thinks that roots used in
feeding cattle are worth for that purpose
not more than 10 cents as compared to
grain at market rates. The main advan-
tage in the use of roots is their favorable
action in the improvement of condition, not
as flesh making food so much as an appe-
tizer and regulator. With coru at dollar
he would prefer to use it rather than pay
rs cents for rutabagas. His estimate Of
relative values would not be far from five
Of rutabagas or beets or carrots to one of
corn. Potatoes rate higher. They are
worth in hts feeding nearly half as much as
'orn-say three bushels, perhaps two-and-
"-half, Of potatoes to one Of corn. Com
ulon fiat turnips he ranks about ten to one.
All these estimates it must be understood
l,e for mixed feeding.
