A contemporary says: "In 1850
one bushel of corn would buy one
pound of nails. In 1882 one bushel
of corn would buy fifteen pounds of
nails. In 1916 it took twenty eight
dozen of eggs to buy one bushel
of salt. In 1882 one dozen of eggs
would do the same thing. In 1915
it required sixty-four bushels of
barley to buy one yard Of broad
cloth. In 1882 five bushels Of bar
ley would do the business. In 1916
it required one bushel of wheat to
purchase one yard of calico. In
1882 one bushel of wheat would
buy thirty five yards Of better arti-
Gle. In 1916 a pair of wollen blan
kets cost as much as COW. In
1882 the value of cow would buy
twenty pairs Of blankets superior
in every way.

There are insects common to al
tress, and it is only by constant
care that we can get satisfaction
from our trees. On the pear and
apple there is a scale insect which
attaches itself to the bark aud in
lures the trees if allowed to remain.
1t is known that any greasy matter
is death to insects. Thus there are
many compounds of this nature
used for washing. Kerosene oil
for hard wood has been used sue
cessfully by many persons, but it
must not get on the foliage. One
form Of wash is made by adding
one pound of whale oil soap to three
gallons of warm water, stirring well
and applying with a stiff broom or
brush. The trunk should be rubbed
thoroughly and hard, to remove as
much as possible of loose bark, so
that the liquid may reach every
part of the surface. Another good
wash is q weak lye from wood
ashes. A third wash is made by
adding two quarts of soft water to
one gallon Of soft soap. Place
these in vessel over the fire, and
when warm, the soap and water
readily combine by stirring, and
should be applied like the whale
oil application. The best results
are obtained by washing the tree
about three times during the season,
applying the first in March or April,
the second in June, and the last in
The insects, as well as
moss, will be effectually removed,
leaving the bark in fine healthy

join the guessers; but every one
who euesses wrong must go behind
and join the exhibitors. Each one
of the guessing party must guess
in turn, and thus only one at time
is exposed to the risk of being cap
tured.
Thus the sides constantly change,
and great fun is made, especially
for those whose noses are so dis
tinguished as to be easily recogniz-
ed, and the game is ended when all
have been gathered on one side Of
the curtain.

$50 Trotters in 1882.

During the present year the 2:3C
list has been largely increased by
the addition of 1877 new members.
The number of 2:30 horses is now
nearly 1880. The number below
2:20 is ninety-nlne, of which fifteen
came in during 1882, number
larger than any year except 1880.
The fastest mile trotted during the
year was in 2:14 by Clingstone.

a MOTHERS TREASURE.

l know of home not far away,
Where peace and plenty abounds,
But the light went out one summers day,
From the beautiful house and grounds.
There were little feet that battered about,
Now still in the sleep of death,
And the walls that rang with childish shout
Scarce echo single breath.
/ know of drawer IN an ebony frame,
Wherein there is boarded wealth;
Whore every day comes a stately dame
To kneel and to weep by stealth.
Her wealth is half-worn suit of blue,
Some books and broken toy,
velvet cap and little shoe,
And the picture of her boy.

Be a Whala-Esarted Christian

Some people are such fools as to
believe that if they are not very
religious they can be happier in this
life; just as ifa boy can live in his
fathers house and have better
time by disobeying than obeying
his father. This world is Gods
house; the better we serve him, the
more we shall enjoy this life.

BERLIN, Jan. 27.-A letter from the
Emperor William to the pope, Dec. %
after heartily returning the good wishes
expressed in the letter from the pope to
the emperor, the latter declares the pope's
letter strengthened his hope that the salts
faction felt by the pope at the re-establish-
ment of the Prussian legation at the
vatican will afford ground for his holiness
to reciprocate by similar advances. The
emperor believes the advance made by the
vatican in regard to the duty of giving
notice of ecclesiastical appointments to
the government is of even moro interest to
the Catholic church than to the state. If
the emperor were convinced his desire for
an understanding were reciprocated, he
would be able TO concede that the diet
should reconsider the May laws which are
not permanently required for the main
tenance of peaceful relations with the
vatican.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 27.-The trial of Mrs.
Mary E. Mcclellan for the murder of
her husband, Alex. Mcclellan, in French
Greek township, in Yenango county on
the 9Th Of last November, which was COM
menced at Franklin, Pa, on Monday last,
was concluded to-day, the jury bringing in
verdict of not guilty. The interest man
Tested during the trial was intense, and
the court room was crowded at all hours
during the taking of the testimony, many
ladies being present. As the terrible his
toay of Mrs. McLellan's married life was
forced from the witnesses, it was plainly
to be seen that the sympathy Of all was
with her. The story of the shooting
is as follows: On Monday, Nov. 5, Alex
McLellen, who had the reputation of bad
man, and when under the influence of
liquor desperate of the most reckless
character, was killed by a pistol shot fred
by his wife in defense of her life. 1t ap-
pears that Mcclellan had been in the habit
of getting drunk and abusing his wife and
family in most heartIess manner, and
frequently threatened to kill the former.
This treatment continued until his wife
became fearful that he would execute his
threat. A few days before the
tragedy, Mrs. Mcclellan was con-
fined, and gave birth to girl
baby, and this seemed to be the
cause of great irritation to the father who,
when drunk had previously threatened her
with cruel treatment if it was not a boy.
When her husband learned that she had
given birth to a girl, he got beastly drunk.
On that fatal evening Mcclellan arrived
home from Oil City quite drunk, and in q
bad temper, and commenced abusing boy
named Wise, who had been living with him
for some time. Mrs. Mcclellan at once be-
came alarmed tor her safety, and called to
her sister, a young girl, to get her revoI-
yer from a drawer in another room.
When the revolver was secured it
was empty, but the girl got
the cartridges and Mrs. Mcclellan succeed
ed in loading it and secreted it under her
night dress. When Mcclellan got through
with his attack on the boy he entered the
house and commenced to abuse the girl,
when his wife, who was in bed, protested
against his actions. He Immediately ad-
vanced to seize her when she jumped from
the bed and tried to escape from the house
to a neighbours for safety, but she was SO
weak that she was only able to get into
another room when her husband rushed
upon her with uplifted hands to strike her.
She then pulled a revolver and
as he seized her she fired, the bullet
entering his right eye, producing
wound from which he died in a few
hours. When the trial came up large
number of witnesses was called By the de-
Tense, and it was proven by them that
Mcclellan had frequently threatened to kill
his wife and children, and it was shown by
one of the witnesses that at one time he
had pointed a revolver at his wife and at
tempted to shoot her, but was prevented in
doing SO. Before the birth Of his last child
he had told several persons that if it was
not boy he would kill it and the mother
also.

fair, and the shipping demand rather light.
The receipts of product were moderate
and the shipments fair, but not fully re-
ported. Foreign advices exhibited no
material change and the Eastern markets
comparatively steady. The inquiryfor mess
pork was fair and the offerings not very
large. Prices ruled easy and declined
LOG 15c, and closed steady at the reduction.
The demand for lard was moderate and
the offerings not very large. Prices were
easy, and declined 5@715c per 100 pounds,
and closed steady. Some $4,000 hogs were
received here to-day, and found fairly
active and rather steady market. Light
grades selling about sc higher. A quiet
feeling has prevailed in the provision
market during the week, and the changes
to note are few and unimportant. Prices
have fuctuated considerably within a
small range, yet the closing figures are with
out material alteration from those given
one week ago. Spectators appeared to
be less interested in the market than usual.
Those who are on the short side seemed to
be distrustful that the supply of the specu-
lative articles were controlled or had been
purchased for future delivery with view
to their control by leading operators and
capitalists, and they were not disposed to
follow their side of the market any far
Their. On the other hand, they were not
inclined to provide for the outstanding
contracts at present prices, and in most
cases preferred to await the developments
which might be brought to light
when the deliveries are made on
the first of the month. Operators
gave the deferred deliveries the preference,
and the great bulk of the trading was in
contracts two to four months ahead. Ship
pers were favored with few orders as mer-
chants in the distributing markets have
ample surplus for the present, and as Lent
is now at hand their wants will be temper
arily curtailed. Besides, in view Of the
unsettled feeling in all branches of trade
and manufacturing interests, and the close
ness of the money markets, merchants are
cautious in their movements and they are
not inclined to carry larger stocks than
the actual wants of their trade require. The
extreme cold weather interferred somewhat
with the movement of product to and
from. the city, and it shows a gradual
falling OFF. The stocks of all kinds of
produce are charging gradually, but are
considerably less than at this time last
year. The report that the movement is
liberal for this season of the year, but
consists largely Of produce accepted on
previously-made contracts, or that for
warded direct by the manufacturers to
their agencies. The returns of the pack
ing in the West show a steady increase,
and some operators now incline to the
opinion that the returns of last year may
be reached. Advices from distributing
markets are rather unfavorable to holders.

Death of Louis Won Baumbach.

A telegram from Milwaukee to Hon.
Albert Scheffer, received late Friday night.
announced the death in that city of Louis
Won Baumbach, father of Col. Fred Won
Baumbach, secretary of state for Mime
sofa. In answer to the telegram, Col.
Won Baumbach, who fortunately was in
this city, left for Milwaukee by the noon
train yesterday to be present at the fu-
neral, which occurs to-day.
Louis Won Baumbach was born in 1900
in the electorate of Hesse Kassel. He pur-
sued military career until 1883, when he
settled on his inherited estates and became
president of the legislature of Hesse Kas-
sci. In 1848 he took an active part in the
revolutionary events in Germany and was
elected as member to the German parlia-
ment that convened at Frankfort-on-the-
Main. Seeing the future of the liberal
movement, he sold his entire estates and
came to the United States, settling down at
Milwaukee. He soon became a prominent
business man, and was appointed consul
to Prussia, subsequently to the North
German union and the German empire,
Several years ago he resigned in favor of
his son, Moritz Won Baumbach,to become
president of one of the leading banks of
Milwaukee.
Besides Col. Won Baumbach, there are
three sons and two daughters, residents of
Milwaukee, and all married but one SON
two of the sons being engaged in the
wholesale drug business.
