WHEAT.

The horrible news of the dastardly al
tempt upon the life of President Garfield,
the detailed particulars of which are else
where given, produced great excitement
in this community. At first people re-
fused to credit the report, and we'll they
might for it was too awful for belief, too
terrible to be real. Horror and consterna-
ton were depicted on every countenance,
and men turned away as soon as the sad
tidings were authenticated, expressions of
grief, sorrow and indignation being heard
on all sides, while words of sympathy and
coincidence for Mrs. Garfield in her hour
of trial and distress, were also expressed.
The atrocity of the crime, and the effect it
wou Id have upon the nation did the MUIR
derous assault of the dastardly assassin
prove fatal, were subjects of discussion,
while all were at loss to account for the
motives which inspired the cowardly deed.
Conspiracy was openly charged, and even
at this time there are many who refuse to
believe that the attempted assassination
was the work of an insane man, but accept
the theory that he was the hired tool of a
band of conspirators. There seems to be
too much method in Guiteau's madness,
and while there are none who are prepared
to charge the crime upon the presidents
political enemies, yet that they are indirect,
ly responsible is beyond dispute. However
while the presidents life yet hangs by a
brittle and slender thread, which is liable
at any moment to be severed, and while
there is nothing publicly known of the mo.
tives which prompted the foul deed. it will
in view of the excitement existing at the
present time, be fully as well to defer com.
ments and await developments. The pos
sibilities, in the event of the presidents
death, are too grave to discuss now, and it is
the devout wish of all that the time may
never come when the condition of things
which now threaten the nation, will be for
ced uponit,
Up to the time Of going to press the lates,
dispatches give encouragement for the hope
that the life of the nations honored and re-
spected chief may be spared. The condi'
ton of the president is yet critical and sew
eral days must elapse ere he is out of danger,
but bis vigorous constitution will help him
to withstand the terrible drain upon his vital
forces.

The Truth as 1t Is.

Last week we published an extract
from DR.. Curry's address before the
American Institute of instruction at
st. Adams, VT, showing from the CEN
sus reports of 1860 the comparative
education of the North and South.
DR.. Curry is agent of the Peabody
fund, and quotes standard authority
and gives us the truth as it is
The North has been very arrogant
in her claims of superiority in educa-
ton over the South, but the facts show
the superiority the other way during Il
period and at a time when the South
had a fair showing unencumbered by
the war and its depressing consequences.
The facts shown are these In the
census of 1860, taken by the United
States authorities, the South, with
eight millions of population, had two
hundred and sixty-two colleges against
the North with a population of nine
teen millions and two hundred and five
colleges; the South had 1888 profes
sors, the North had ,407 the South
had q, 055 students, and the North
had 29,O45 the South paid 1882
419, and the North 81, 514,293.
Equalizing these numbers and then
comparing the population of the two
sections, the South did q times as
much in the way of education as the
North before the war. The public
schools of the North surpassed those Of
the South, but not to the extent claimed
by the North, and counting them in
the South still has decided advantage
in the comparison.

The Era of Sept. 1st says: "Does
not every sensible person know that
the farms of this county do not yield,
on an average, t,co and a half per cent.
on the money invested in them, and
this year will be cultivated at heavy
loss ?" The farmers who profess to
know this are either too ignorant to
know one figure from another, or else
they are great liars, for they have re-
ported their products at $751; $40 and
their lands valued at 81 , 403, 1856, which

ANY one who knows anything about
taxes knows that there is only one tax
for each year, and the reason why the
tax for the year 1880 is collected this
