of the Ohio river, in Tennessee and
Kentucky, wheat is growing; butjfar
below its growth at this date in 's2.
In Michigan the snow has not all
gone off yet, aud there are but few
complaints SO far Of winter killing.
There is very little difference in the
outlook of wheat to-day in Southern
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. All are
watching and anxiously waiting for
rains and warm; growing weather to
give TIE wheat good start. In
Missouri and Kanas the weather at
present is very dry and wheat is snf-
fering for want OF rain. The careful
observer will plainly see that deci-
ded change is needed at once in our
winter wheat situation TO insure a
good harvest in 1883.
SPRING WHEAT AND OATS.
Seeding has commenced, but by
no means general as yet. Nebraska
has cast the frat seed and Dakota
has followed suit in a small way.
Nothing has been done in Minnesota
for the reason that there is too much
snow on the ground. From present
appearances we confirm what was
stated in our Private Crop Report
of March 9th, viz: "That we do not
see much activity in seeding before
the first week in April" There have
been a few oats sown, but the late
sudden cold'and freezing weather has
put stop to it. The ground is fast
getting into fine condition for The
reception of the seed, and we con-
slider the general outlook of spring
seeding very favorable. Reserves of
wheat have moved quite freely dur
ing the first half Of March.
CORN.
We are not done with the old crop
yet. The Department of Agricul-
tnre at Washington gives us its idea
as to the amount of corn on hand
upon the 10th of March, 1888, which
is $50 million bushels, or SO per cent
of last years crop. The monthly con-
sumption of corn has been estimated
at l4O million bushels. Ifthese fig
ures are correct corn must be scarce
before we are able to handle another
crop. Farmers have been selling
corn very freely during the month of
March, two factors being very large
fv in .heir favor; one being good
prices and the other fine roads.
There has not been a month of
March for years when country roads
over very large area of the North
west have been in as fine condition
for internal traffic as they are to-day.
There has therefore been no obstacles
in the way of a very free movement
of the reserves OF both wheat and
corn. This, however, will not con-
tinue long, as we are about to enter
the most busy and active season OF
the whole crop year.

How TO SroP A Runaway HoRsE.-severa
years ago attended lecture given by Rarey,
the celebrated horse trainer, In the course oi
which he claimed that any runaway horse could
be controlled with knowledgd Of the proper
treatment; and what learned from him has
served me on more than one occasion during the
many years have driven around New York.
Rarey's directions were as iollows:-First to
know that the harness is all right, and the bit
and lines are of proper strength; never to drive
with slack rein, and always to keep the feet
untrammeed, ready for any emergency sec
ond, as soon as you find that the horse is running
away, with all the power of the right arm jerk
the horses head to the side Of the neck, at the
same time springng to the left of the vehicle
ready to jump. As soon as done Immediately
jerk the horses head to the left side Of the neck
and change your position to the opposite side of
the carriage. Repeating this with all ones
strength aud as quickly as possible, the horse
must stop bis speed. URder this treatment il is
impossible for him to proceed, but it must be
done quickly, so as not to allow the horse to
straighten bis position or to turn around have
been run away with several times, and have al
ways tried Rarey's plan with success. J.

WE hear and read much of aC

WE hear and read much of ad-
vanced ideas in politics, religion,
science and other great subjects,
whihe claim the attention of a
thinking community, but nowhere
are these ideas more apparent than
in the dress or dress fabrics of to-
day.
In all ages dress has been the ex-
ternal evidence of nations in
tellectual advancement, and it is so
at the present time. Year by year,
as we advance in the arts, do we see
evidence of the fact in the fabrics
we wear, until art spends so much
time at the loom that her handiwork
may well bear her name-works of
art.
These thoughts were suggested to
our mind by the line of new spring
fabrics shown by Chas. E. Treidler,
a display well calculated to bring
forth such thoughts.

A novel suit for libel was instituted

on the cover of which was a wOOd-cut
of the author. The work was printed
and sent out, and the author and pub
fishers had a settlement and nothing
more was thought of the matter by the
former, until some months after, when

On Sunday night burglars entered the house Of
Mrs. Lizzie Allen, Of Camden, and succeeded in
carrying of number Of valuable silk dresses, and
considerable jewelry. On Monday night, they
broke into the house Of James Evans, Of Wyom-
ing here they succeeded in getting sllverware, a
silk dress, an overcoat seal skin cap lady's coat
and a number Of smaller articles, Mr. Evans was
aroused by the noise in the house and he went to
the window, where he saw man standing on tbe
ground as If watching. Mr. Evans turned and get
his revolver and then shot at the man. but the rob
Der was not struck for he ran under the porch and
then escaped. The shooting aroused the neigh
bors who came out and the above facts were ascer-
tanned. W. n. Brown and John HUM were sent
for; they being the managers OF the X. c. A, for
protection against R. B. s. T. for Wyoming and
Of which Mr. Evans is a member. Steps were at
once taken to catch the thieves. Messages were
sent to notify the association Of the robbery A
vgilant search instituted but as yet no arrests
have been made. Suspicion rests very strongly on
parties in Camden. For the past two years aBer-

SUIT was brought before Esq.
Stevens on Tuesday last, by the ad-
ministrators of NJ r. Carlisle, de-
ceased, to compel Mr. Geo. Russell to
pay three years ground rent, amount
ing to Sl2, against the lot on Front
St., in South Milford, now owned by
him. The case is as follows: in No
vember 1880, Mr.. Russell bought of
Mr.. Geo. Davis the lot in question,
paying him $500 in cash for the same.
Sometime after this Mr.. Carlisle in
formed Mr.. Russell that there was
three years ground rent due on the
property, and that he would hold him
responsible for payment of same. Mr..
Russell then went to Mr.. Davis and
stated the case to him, Mr.. Davis
then transferred to Mr.. Russell due
bill on David Lank for $40, with the
understanding that Mr.. Russell was
compelled to pay the rent due to Mr..
Carlisle for three years previous to his
purchasing of Mr.. Davis, he seould
apply the due bill of Mr.. Lank to the
payment ofsame; providing Mr.. Lank
paid the due bill. Mr.. Lank paid S.
on account, and Mr.. Russell refused to
pay the ground rent for the years 1873.
1879 and 1880. Mr.. Russell argued his
case, and his main point was, that
Mr.. Carlisle had no right to make a
book account against him for another
mans debts that after forty days had
passed after the transfer of the prop
erty by Mr.. Davis to Mr.. Russell, it be-
came civil debt, and he could not,
lawfully make book account of it.
Judgment was given against Russell.

tanned about 20 head, and when the
scent was struck the music COM

hunt was never known in Milford.
