There is urgent need of military and

OF Washington Territory and the boun-
Diary line between it and British Col

invaders, 1t Is said, are smuggling them
selves into that territory pretty rapidly,
and the farmers being much in need of
help at this season, probably ask no
questions when employing them. The

An affecting incident happened on
Saturday morning in connection with
the sad a, Il sudden death of William
Wilson, that is deserving of mention.
His son William, about IA years OF age,
who il employed as an errand boy by
Joseph Pyle &Co. patent leather manu-
fact,irers at Sixth and Mouroe streets,
had been sent to Parry's store on King
street below Third for lantern. While
he was in the store lady came IN and
said that man had been killed at Mar
ket street bridge, and upon Mr.. Parry
|inquiring about it, said that his name
was Smith, and he was foreman at Tai
lcy's mill.
The boy did not wait to hear any
more but hurried as fast AS HIS feet
would carry him TO the bridge. When
he got there the body II Il been removed
to the morgu,, and Mr. Forsyth with
several others were busy cleaning the
bridge He approached Mr.. FORSYTH,
and in trembling voice asked" Was
there a man killed here this morning -
As "A ..ozen or more boys had already
asked the same question, Mr.. Forsyth
did not answer him, but continued with
his work. Tie boy 81 od irresolute
for \ moment, when he again asked III
an earnest tone: "Won't you please tel
me 2" The bridge tender was about "a
hen him to 60 away, hut the earnest
ness of his mdun-r arrrs ed his atten-
non, and he answered: Yes, my SOL,
there was.
Just then the by caught sigh. o.
the dinner basket belonging II
the unfortunate man, and with cry o
agony that seemed as though 1t wa'
wrung from broken heart, said NJ,
God, It is my father!' and would hav'

caught hold of him. Iurriedly asking
here the body had been taken, he raj
TO the morgue and begged Mr. Paine
to let him see his father. sit was

great extent, in the thorough pnlverl,
cation of the soil and the application OF
needed plant food upon the surface
Applied in this way the primary and
secondary roots of the wheat-plant en-
readily assimilate what is first needed
the most. The practical Importance Of
surface growth in the fall before freez

estimated. Long, deep roots on the
wheat plant in the fall, are not desira
