Capt. T. j. Henry. the regular Democratic
nominee, and Col. r. T. Jacob, independent

jacob was nominated by the Union Demo.
Gratis, that is, Democrats who opposed
the secession movement. The local contest
will bring out the average vote. Col. Jacob
is under the impression he will be elected or
at least he so expresses himself, but we'll in
formed Democrats claim Henry's election by
the usual Democratic majority. The secre-
tary of the state committee puts the vote at
$4,000. It is thought the Democratic vote
cast for Jacob will be more than offset by Re-
publicars who will not vote.

Williams college, in his eulogy on President
Garfield, at the late commencement of that in
stitution, said: ga religious man and man
of principle, he (Garfield) pursued Of his own
accord the ends proposed by the institution
he was prompt, frank, manly, social in his
tendencies, combining active exercise with
habits of study, and thus did for himself that
which it is the object of the college to enable
every young man to do-he made himself q

The Holland locomotive, which burns
was run on the Erie railroad from
Paterson to Jersey City few days since, max
ing the trip one minute ahead of time and
coming into the depot with 14O pounds of
steam. The naphtha burned during the trip
of 19X miles amounted to eighty-four gallons
costing S2.0S, about one-third of the cost o.
coal for the same service. Tie engineer and

A New York daily paper says: "This city

there are always from 10000 to 100000
strangers who are passing through, on busi-
ness or for pleasure, and very considerable
OF the residents and the visitors
like to go to church on Sunday. But there is
a constant and growing complaint that there
are few churches to go to at this time of the
year. Most of the prominent and popular
clergy are off to the summer resorts or to Eu-
rope for the whole summer, and their parishes
are left TO take care of themselves, while the
are closed
The Troy Times has curious correspondent
who asks if the "turn of the day. when
eighty out of one hundred sick people die, has
anything to do with the atmospheric lull that
comes on twice daily between IL and O'Clock,
when the land and sea breezes are about to
change places. In hot climates, he says, near
the sea, "great lassitude is experienced in the
day time after II o'clock till the breeze comes
in from the sea, and equal lassitude in the
night before the land breeze springs up. Mid
day and midnight are alike sufocating 70
want of air. Evening is famed from the sea,
morning from the land. Both are bracing,
the mid-lull is enfeebling."

Professor A. E. BIount, Of the Color
ado Agricultural College, has origi-
mated or perfected one of the best sorts
Of thoroughbred corn now known. II
is known as Blount's prolific, and was
perfected in Tennessee. The stalks
each produce from three to eight or ten
ears. These are eight-rowed and rather
small and short. In selecting for seed
he looks for ears on prolific stalks He
pays much attention to soil cultivation
and to fertilizers and to pure, sound
seed. He says: "It wants cultivation
up to certain time and then it demands
rest. The stalk can be made smaller
or larger, shorter or taller the cob
be lessened and the grain on it increas-
ed, its color changed to suit the taste,
the ear and shank shortened and
heightened single OF many ears upon
the stalk and hundred more changes
can be wrought if the farmer has the
inclination and patience to give it his
attention. Corn is SO remarkably sus-
ceptible to change, SO tender yet so
hardy, so easily turned ont OF its course,
even in one season, that the slightest
attention or neglect will make it lucra-
tive crop or failure. The main points,
then, for the farmer to observe in the
Improvement of corn are those that
cover the rules to make larger guam
tity, better quality, more abundant
yield in a shorter time and at less ex-
pense." He prefers for seed the top
most ear from stalks which produce the
most good ears. The largest yield of
one stalk of Blount's corn was sixty
three ounces. One man reports hun
dreds Of stalks with eight good ears each,
and one stalk that bore eighteen ears.
He selects from stalks which mature
early. The selections are made before
the corn is cut in the field. Professor
Blount places great stress upon the
selection Of seed. THERE'S often won
derful difference in yield from two lots
Of seed treated alike. He experimental
with two fields of ten acres each, one
with seed corn taken from the crib, and
the other With seed selected from the
field before harvest. The latter field
produced double the first. The twenty
acres were all treated, planted and cul-
tivated alike.

Frontier Anecdotes.

One Of the dryest jokers Of the day
says Denver (Col.) paper, is Judge,
Allen A. Bradford, of the Pueblo bar.
He is little eccentric, but withal, one
of the best lawyers in the far West. He
was trying case few years since be-
fore a judge to whom he took dislike
The Judge was undecided in his rul-
ings; would change his conclusions
every time the opposite lawyer would
argue a point. When Bradford came
to talk to the jury he took occasion to
express his contempt. Said he: "Gen-
tlemen Of the jury, the indecision Of
this court reminds me of the tabled ass
that died between two bundles OF straw
for want of decision" The court could
stand this no longer. Calling the at
torney to order, he fined him S. for
contempt. With the GOODNESS he is
capable Of. Bradford felt in his pocket
for q moment, then producing $3.50,
said in his peculiar intonations Of voice:
Your honor, / have bnt half the
amount. 1 will pay for the straw, but
let the ass stand"
One day a notorious horsethief had
been captured and brought into court
to be committed. While the examina-
tion was progressing the prosecuting
attorney and the sheriff stepped to the
door to counsel. The thief seized the
opportunity, and clasped in the squire's
hand twenty dollar gold piece with
the remark /: "Hold the case until
dark then dismiss for error in the
complaint. It was set forth that
horse had been stolen while the evi-
dence shows that it was mare" The
case went tripping along until the sun
had dropped behind the hills and dark
ness shadowed the land. Then the
court raised the horse and the mare
question, and dismissed the prisoner.
Before new complaint could be made
he was far away under the cover Of
darkness. The squire then adjourned
the court and went straight home in
high glee. Arriving there he clapped
the "double sawbuck over his eye and
went capering around the floor like q
young colt. His good wife, noticing
the wealth, made some remark about
apparel. Nothing to wear, ehg' said
the squire. - calico dress goes
Supper being over. he repaired to the
barn to feed his beast. But. 10 she
was gone. He had bogus coin in his
pocket, while the thief was bestride his
beautiful mare over the hills and far
away.

To Heep Tires ON wheels.

a practical man writes on this sub
ject IT ironed q wagon some years
ago for my own use, and before putting
on the tires I filed the felloes with lin
seed oil, and the tires have worn out
and were never loose. / also ironed a
buggy for my own use, seven years 20,
and the tires are as tight as when put
on. MY method Of filing the felloes is
as follows: ] use long cast-iron heater
made for the purpose. The oil is
brought to a boiling heat, end the
wheel is placed on stick SO as to hang
in the oil. An hour is sufficient for a
common sized felloe, Of which the tim-
Der should be dry, as green wood will
not take oil. Care should be taken that
the oil does not get hotter than the
boiling heat, else the wood might be
set on fire and burnt. Timber filled
with oil is not susceptible to water and
is much more durable. I was amused
some years ago when I told blacksmith
how to keep the tires tight, BY his tell
ing me that it was profitable business
to tighten tires; and the wagon.makel
will also say that it is profitable bus
mess to him to repair wheels; butwhaI
will the farmer, who helps TO support
the wheelwright and smith, say T?
