In regard to the B. of F. there are three lodges in the Val ley, all of winch are in good working condition, with the exception of Alfus, which will stand to the old party. We are about half democrats and half republicans. Brothers hand in hand. We think nine tenths of the order are in favor of E. Of F ticket. We are opposed to the ring which seem to exist in some parts Of our country They seem to be determined to defeat the B. of K. in electing county ticket if ticket had been put out.

The Blair educational bill passed the Senate last week by majority that indicates that it will become a law. This bill appropriates $77, ,000. 900 to be distributed among the States, according to the illiteracy tables of the last census, within the next eight years One of it's pro- visions is that the States among which the fund is to be distributed shall appropriate for school purposes sum equal to at least one-third of that received from the Government. Under the operations of this bill the cause of education will receive n stimulus, in every State in the Union, that it has never had before, and especlally among the Southern States it will have wholesome and beneficial effect.

 Let us refer to few figures to show how we stand numerically. There are in the United States. ac cording to the census of 1880 7,67O, 493 persons engaged in agriculture and in Arkansas, 2l6,665. We may safely say to day that there are over eight millions engaged m agricul- ture in the whole country-not less than 100000 voters. and yet the law making power (congress) entire ly ignores our interests, but goes protecting" bankers and manufac- turers by robbing farmers. When those engaged in tilling the soil de mand their rights, either in or out of the old parties congress will have to listen. These thoughts have been pcrudcly thrown together, but they are my own. c. K. ToBEY

If heavy freight train was passing, but

If heavy freight train was passing, but
no explosion was heard. Major Perry,
whose house is on high pillars and tall,
was very much excited, believing his
house would tumble down, SO great
was the shock and of such
long duration. Mr.. j. G. Scar
borough says that it commenced some
thing like distant thunder, with two or
three peals in the north or northwest,
and then loud rumbling or roaring
sound, which seemed TO come nearer,
until jar or quaking was felt very sensi-
bly,, and that from the time he first heard
the explosion until the house ceased to
shake, was perhaps two minutes. All
testify that it was not jarring OF the
houses, but real shaking. Whether II
was the explosion Of meteor or some
teing more terrible, it was certainly
different from anything ever felt
in this country before. Parties
from neighborhood fifteen miles
east report about the same sensa-
ton that was felt here. One man
having fear of cyclone, had fearful
dream of one approaching, and woke to
find his house shaking and windows clat-
tering. The sky was clear, and none OF
the people saw any fash OF light, such as
sometimes accompany explosions OF var

children died soon after. The woman
died about four o'clock this morning
and the little boy expired at seven this
forenoon, having lived twenty-one hours
with a bullet through his brains. The
young victims were Sammy, four, and
Rosy, five years Old The mother placed
the little innocents back to back, when,
taking small gun from the older boy,
who was starting out to shoot birds, she
placed the muzzle against the brow of the
boy and pulled the trigger, the ball
going through the brain of each, then,
leaving her victims with her other
boys, the maniac mother took a teaspoon,
and using it to pour powder into the
gun, loaded it, went into an adjoining
room, placed the puzzle TO her own head,
and completed the tragedy. Farrell, the
father OF the children, was a laborer at
an adjoining foundry, and appears to
be shiltless sort of fellow, as his

take steps to have her secured. He had

removed against her wishes. Last De-

in some paper. He refused when she

with notes importuning him for the favor.
1t is expected the three bodies will be
