THE YORKVILLEENQUIRER
PROSPECTUS FOR 1882.

IN issuing our prospectus for 1882, we deem it
i only necessary to announce that the leading
features which have characterized the editorial
conduct of the YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER for the
past quarter of century will he retained, and
what it has been in the past will be an assurance
of what it shall be in the future. The leading
departments of the paper will be retained as here
tofore and they will be conducted with the same
labor and care that have marked our efforts in the
past. While the Literary and Miscellaneous fea-
lures of the ENQUIRER will be kept up to the
standard which has given the paper distinctive
character, careful attention will also be given to
the News department, which will embrace re-
cord of the leading events at the State and Ma
tiona Capitals; Congressional and Legislative
Proceedings; "Scraps and Facts" being hotch-
potch Of light current topics compend of the
News Abroad and at Home; General Correspon-
dence; Market Reports; Local County and State
News; Editorial Articles upon appropriate sub
ects intended to promote the welfare and pros
perity of our State and people, which will, we
trust, continue to render the ENQUIRER a well
come and entertaining Family Journal.

Waking to Find His Wife a
Corpse.
Chattanooga Times.


On Wednesday night, Mr. and
Mrs. Jas. Milliken, living near the
ROane Iron Works, retired for the
night in good spirits and health.
Mr.. Milliken is a workman at the
rolling mill, and when the whistle
blew at 3 o'clock in the morning,
he, as usual, arose and built the fire
for his wife to cook breakfast pre-
paratOry to engaging in the labor
of the day. He called her name,
but received no response; again he
called, and the echo repeated his
words as if in mockery. Drawing
near he laid his hands upon and
tried by shaking to recall her to
wakefulness, but his efforts were in
vain The little infant encircled by
the arms of its mother, cooed as it
sucked the parents breast. The
husband became alarmed, procured
lamp and bending once more
over the form Of his beloved wife,
found her cold and stiff in death
from heart disease, with which she
was known to be afflicted. What a
sad awaking from the sweet repose
ofsleep to find the one most highly
priced, most dearly loved, stricken
down by death at an untimely date
at his side. Can the ingenuity Of
human imagination picture a scene
more touchingly sad? Can any
Withhold the poor boon of sympathy
in this the darkest hour of trial

B1sFORTUNEs OF THE FARNERs

KISFORTUNES OF THE FARHERS
The fruit trees of Hartford, Conn,
are so scourged by caterpillars that
they are as brown as if swept by
fire. Apples appear to be the fav-
orite.
At least one-third of the corn
crops is entirely destroyed in Chan
Gerry, Ga, caused by small, white
worm which bores into the young
stalk just above the root.
In Arkansas a species Of cutworm
has completely destroyed the stands
of cotton on a great many large plan
tations, Many portions of the State
are overrun with locusts.
Reports from Oglethorpe, Ga,
give more worms and bugs, with
greater appetites, than were ever
known before, and the cut worm
has gone over to tobacco chewing in
South River, Md.
The grasshoppers, lOcuts, and cot
ton worms have become such bur-
den that some Texas farmers will
try the experiment of importing the
Lubbock beetles from Russia that
are very yoracious and live on these
pests.
Rose bugs are making sad havoc
among the apple and blackberry
blossoms all along the line of the
Camden and Atlantic Railroad.
Growers say that their work has
been so thorough that the crop will
be hardly worth the picking.
Wire worms are destroying the
wheat fields of the Willamette Val
ley, California; peculiar caterpil-
lar is stripping the ash trees of the
Butte Creek region of their foliage,
and chintz bugs are working on the
barley fields in Spring Valley, Mimi.
Even Texas complains Of a rainy
season that is running crop pros
poets, and Alabama cries out in
sorrow over bud worms, cut worms,
and cold nights that are demor-
alizing farmers in Greene county.
Farmersssabout Joliet, H., report
fruit ruined, hay less than half a
crop, while farmers from Lake City
to Bidwell, Cal, say that all crops
are looking well, and the yield
will be the largest ever known in
the valley.

Conscience, Seeks Death by
Drowning

DIOWnlnSs
st. Louis, June 27-Dispatches
from Kansas City says that the body
of the man found in the riEer here
last Friday turned out to be that Of
Rev. Sidney Stray, who was expell-

afterwards confessed to sundry al
legations of adultery Stray has
resided in Leavenworth since last
March, where he held position Of
bookeeper in a business house, but
receiving a letter that his wife's
brother had started west with avow-
ed intention of shooting him, he
left Leavenworth, changed his name,
and intended to secrete himselfsome
where until his irate brother-in-law
had visited LeavenworthIand return
ed to the east. Coming to Kansas
City he must have fallen into a des-
pondent mood, and sought to drown
his sorrows and troublesin stimulans.
Temporary insanity followed, and
plung in the river sealed his fate
forever The body was identified
last ni9ht by A. A. Fern, a member
of the council of Leavenworth, and
Rev. B. r. Brown, pastor Of the
Congregational church of that city.
Stray left Leavenworth June 5, and
had not been heard from since. He
went by the name of st. Clair, and
was known as a quiet and industri-
Gus man, A number of letters were
received at Leavenworth since his
from that city, some of
which were opened by the coroner,
and revealed who the man was and
much of his history. His friends in
the east have been telegraphed.

A simple remedy for all insects
that annoy farmers is given by a
Wenona, H., agricuIturlst. He says:
"Gather all the old straw and hay
into long rows around orchards,
potato and cabbage patches, and set
fire to one end to burn against the
wind all night, and they will burn
up millions and millions every night
of the male insects thatfiy, and bugs
OF all kinds and descriptions, such
rs destroy the trees and potatoes and
all the cabbage, and the canker
worms on the apple trees. They
will fly right into the blaze and
burn their wings off, and drop into
the fire | told man to do that
who said the ground in his potato
patch was crawling alive with potato
bugs. He ploughed a ditch around
and filled it with straw, and burned
them all up in one night, and he
raised a big crop of potatoes. The
prairie fires in former years used to
burn them all up. Do this and you
will soon be rid of the whole miller
tribe of insects.
