Of all other subjects. Since we have hope
of a creamery near, COWS have gone up (in
the estimation Of their owners to about
double their former varle, aud the ordina-

autumn.
The railroad project is again before the

The only difficulty is in.the matter of pop
ulation. While there exists nothing in
the form of law or usage to determine the
qualifications of statehood in this respect,
yet there appears to be a disposition to
not admit any more territories as States
unless they can show population equal
to at least the ratio of representation ex-
listing at this or any future time. The
statements made appear to justify the
belief that the population of the portion
of Dakota seeking admission as State
exceeds the number required. The in
crease of population has been so rapid
that the figures of the census of 1880
have to be abandoned and the correct
data procured from other sources. The
United States land offices show by filings
and pre- -emptions, and cash entries since
the census the increase in the agricultural
portion of the country amounts 56, 500
people. At the time Of the census in
June, 1880, there were 100, 500 persons
exclusive of Indians actually residing with
in the proposed State. Add to this the
reported increase and we have popula-
ton of about 10000, and it is evident
that the records of the land Office do not
show the total increase. But to reconcile
all difficulties in regard to this point, the
bill has been amended, providing for a
census of the proposed State, and making
it show the requisite population. With
this and few other amendments the COM
mittee report tavorably the house bill +"

Found Guilty.

AS previously announced, Mrs. La
vinia Harris, of South Chester, was
held in $500 bail by United States
Commissioner Bell, at Philadelphia,
last week, on the charge of sending
obscene matter through the mails. A
meeting of Trinity M. E. Church, at
which the accused was a member, was
held on Monday evening, when she was
adjudged guilty of the charge, and
unless she appeals to the Elders OF the
church or asks for new trial, she will
be read out of the church, after GER
tain time. The charges against the
woman is for sending scandalous and
indecent letters through the mail, to
different members of the church, OF
which she was member.
Some of the letters contained obscene
illustrations, and were al crouched III
the most unbecoming language. Many
of the members who received these
letters testified before the Church meet
ing, aud from their evidence 1t was
learned that the letters were mailed in.
discriminately to parties toward whom
the writer could hold any reasonable
animosity. 1t also appears that this
slanderous work has been going on fol
a period of three years. The charge is
serious one and there is no doubt as tt
the woman's guilt, the Punishment
will no doubt be severe. The accused IL
well advanced in years.

In a MaelstrOIn

A Scandinavian emigrant gives the
following account of tragedy in ia
nous Lofoden maelstrom, his rustic
patois of the tiords doubtless being
"lost in the free translation" of a To
ronto reporter: A few years ago, on a
delightful July evening, saw a body
of Goldfish rise by the edge of the whirl.
POOLS outer circles, and Immediately
after the cod has risen whale arose
among them and spouted. The column
Ut spray blown up like a geyser attract
ed the attention of q small fishing boa,
not less than half mile distant. and
knowing that where the whale blew
there was cod, they pulled toward the
spot.
In the boat was a pretty old man and
his son, lad of about sixteen. They
Lad just come for the first time out to
the Lofodens, and now pulled careless
ly inside the circle. Their boat began
to move slowly around, but they went
on fishing unmindful of the notion
But the movement increased, as every
minute the circle grew smaller and the
swirl moved faster. At length the
truth dawned upon the luckless old
man and the boy.
A faint scream of terror from the lad
came over the water;they grasped their
oars and pulled with desperation. But
they were in the meshes. 1t seemed as
if some tiend we're dragging them to the
vortex. For time they held their
own against the centerward force, but
only for while. The old mans strokes
became less steady, 80 did the lads
The latter again rallied, aud was pull
ing with the desperation of despair
when his car unshipped and fell over
Then the two set up a wild, piercing
cry, pu: their hands up, praying to God
for mercy-;hey could not expect deiv
erance. In a minute or two it was al
over. The boat was whirled round ant
round, then her stern was seen to ris,
in the air, then with all she contained
she disappeared forever.
