The Once Popular Flowing Match.

Catcdoo Times.
The excellence OF any pillow can be best
determined by comparing its work with
that Of others in like soil at the same sea-
son OF the year. 1t is likely that many Of
our plows are sold on account Of their fine
appearance and not on account Of their ex.
cellent work. Plowing-matches are also
wanted to test the relative value Of horses,
mules, and oxen in the work Of turning
burrows. More than for any or all other
purposes they are wanted for the purpose
Of developing skill in the use OF the plew.
There Is no urgent occasion for holding
blowing matches in connection with agri.
cultural fairs. They are held at a season
when 1t is not customary to do plowiugD
They may be held quite early in the spring
or late In the fall to better advantage. The
owners Of land are DESTROYS OF having pillow.
ing done at these seasons, and would be
willing to pay bonus to have blowing.
matches held on their farms, The manu-.
facturers OF plows should take an interest
In revivipg an institution that was once
very popular, and which has been shown
to be very useful.

Innuence OF .he,s,il ON Health.

The influence Of the soil on The health OF
those living upon II, Is brought out very
plainly during the prevalence Of epidemic
diseases. That malafial diseases (llke inter.
mittent feyers) originate from the Loil Is al
ready accepted; and recent investigations
show pretty conclusiyely that the germs OF
Cholera, Abdominal Typhus, Yellow Fever,
and the plague are In some way connected
with the soil, which Is daily corroborated by
letters from all parts Of the county, stating
the marvellous effect Peuna has on those dis
eases, and In their conyalescent state. JOHN

quires that some remedy should be provided that

ter Of DR.. O. AcLdASS Liror Piiks, there can DO
no doubt. The great success which has invariably
attended their use, will, we think, be sufficient to

BREAKING JAIL?-Sherif WOOten
is fast gaining reputation for carless-
ness in guarding his prisoners. Now
right upon the heels of Col Halletts
escape, when everyone expected that
an extra vigelant watch was kept OF
the remaining culprits, two more pris-
Oners ran away from him, while he
was lOOkiRgat them. The corresponds
ent of the EUery Eceaing gives the follow
ing account Of their escape on Sunday
morning last:
1.-Two prisoners Cy Johnson and
Dick Sanford, the former held for
shooting a man by the name OF Grlf-
fifth at SeafoFd, and the latter for burg
larry ut the hotel at Lewes, escaped from
iaii Sunday morning. They had been
taken from their cell by Sheriff WOOt-
en- and ordered to go to the pump,
which stands a short distance from
the Jail wall to get water. Upon
reaching the pump they set their pail
down and ran for life.
The Sheriff saw them and started in
pursuit, but Immediately thought of
having left the prison door open, so
that about all the others, l3 in num-
Der might escape. He took in the sit
uation and returned to close the prison
door in time to secure the remaining
prisoners, but Johnson and SandfOrd
continued their fight. This took place
about 8 o'clock Sunday morning"
