A FAIR SAMPLE.
e. P. CrOy's Field Of Grain Hay-lt
Averages Six Feet H. Highth, and
SOlne is Even Nine Feet High.


Some is Even Niue Feet High.
Disbelievers in the future prosper
ity of this section as an agricultural
producing country should take the
trouble to investigate the derogatory
reports before crediring what they
hear. Our attention was called this
morning to the fact that {. p. Croy
was cutting his crop of grain hay at
the foot Of Croy street, and th,ther we
limped our way. The field is situated
about 200 yards west of Main street,
just under the bench, and there we
found Mr. Croy, who wore a satisfied
smile and looked as comfortable as a
retired banker. This was his first at.
tempt at raising grain in this valley,
and he had realized more than could
reasonably be expected, taking other
peoples say-so for the result of his
labor.
The crop was wheat and oats mixed,
and was sown during the middle of
May. The ground was broken last
season and a small amount of pota-
toes planted in the soil, which yielded
about 800 bushels per acre. This
spring the ground was narrowed, only,
and the crop sown with a drill. No
water whatever was used to irrigate
during the summer, and this morning
the mower completed its work. The
straw grew very thick and raj k, aver
aging three and half tons to the acre,
and the hight Of the grain over the
entire field Of fifteen acres would 60
about six feet. A few acres III the
field would yield all Of four tons and
a half OF hay, while the grain pro-
duced, if allowed to ripen, would have
given about SO bushels of oats and SO
Of wheat, averaging the field.
To give an idea Of the richness Of
the soil, and what it will produce, we
would cite the fact that in this field
grows small patch Of wild rye grass,
which upon measuring proved to be
nine feet high, and the heads were
simply enormous. The soil on this
land is three to four feet deep, and a
rich, warm, sandy loan, and will pro-
duce anything in abundance that re-
quires warm soil and quick growth.
There are many thousand acres Of
this land in the valley that have never
produced crops, for the very simple
reason that the owners have not
planted them, aud are waiting for
others to make the experiments.
A gentleman who has been engaged
in the business else where, offers to
wager all he possesses, which, by the
way, is no incensderable amount,
that from one acre Ct this land he can
raise 500 bushels of potatoes, with
the proper attention. 1t will not be
many years before people who now
pronounce tins country as worthless
will see fine orchards and broad fields
Oh every hand.

Big WORDS. Quite recently d
literary man of some celebrity, in a
letter describing the early fall of
snow in Switzerland, did not say
the storm abated, but "the flakes
dwindled to focculi! !" and instead
of vulgarly putting it that they
melted potful of snow to obtain
water, he said that fire wood was
"expended in rendering its own
heat latent in the indispensable
fuid.' Equally as good was that
which relates to O certain eminent
Professor, who observed that very
wonderful things were occasionally
discovered nowadays. He bad
found out lately that "Nystagmus,
or oscillation Of the eyeballs, is an
epileptiform affection of the cere-
bellular oculomotorial centres" and
he added: "Don't forget in future
what sort Of thing a snystagmus'
is. > Chambers Journal.

AN exchange very truthfully
suggests that Mr.. Blaine and the
more daring of his partisans were
ready for a repetition of the fraud
of 1876; but his timid capitalist
friends we're not. They trembled
at the angry roar Of the people in
New York city the day after the
election, and hogan to desert their
leader. Mr.. Gould did actually
send to Cleveland a message of
congratulation, and the other gild-
cd millionaires who banqueted with
the Republican candidate at Del
monico's respectfully declined to go
further in the dangerous enterprise.
The conspiracy broke down, simply
because the people in the North
would not take part in it. This is
what the obe-Democ,ut gets mad
about. AS we have said elsewhere,
that paper and the leaders of its
party thought the more proper plan
was to quietly steal the Presidency
without unnecessary uproar.-LEx-
change.

-EIGHTy-FIvE bills were offer
ed in the Alabama Legislature on
the 18th. One Of them provides
for combining convicts within the
State prison and prohibits them
from being worked outside Of the.
prison walls. Another proposes a.
repeal Of the law relative to a req
istration Of voters. One of the most
important among the number was,
the one presented by Mr.. Dallas:
prohibiting the sale of cotton sam
Piles or lint drawn from the bales
except by the person who raised

CHOLERA has invaded Bel
GUM, and a most tragic case is re-
ported from Brussels, where an ac-
tor was seized with vomiting as he
went on the stage and died soon af-
ter. American cities have received
timely warning, and if they are not
prepared by proper sanitary precau-
tons when the scourge visits them,
as it in all probability will, their
authorities will be considered grose-
ly derelict in their duties, and Wis
tied with the strongest condemna-
ton from the public.
ON the morning after the cleo
ton Of Cleveland the thanksgiving
proclamation of President Arthur
was published. Now, it is not ex-
actly certain whether it was SO In
tended, but he hit the nail square
on the head when he did it, for If
there is any one thing more than
another that the people Of these
United States ought to be thankful
for, that thing is the election Of
Grover Cleveland.

THE CoRNER-sroNE

OF the Pedestal OF the Bartholdps Statue
Laid by the Masonic Order The Pro-
gramme Sadly MARRIED by Rain Storm.
NEW YeRK, Aug. 5.-The storm to-day in
terfered very much with the carrying out of
the programme for laying the cornerstone
of the pedestal for the Bartholdi staue at
Bedloe's Island. About 500 ersons were
present These, for the most part, were
officials identified with the ceremony, the
Masonic fraternity and invited guests. All
stood for three hours in a drenching rain,
while the programme of exercises was being
observed.
If it had been q good day doubtless the
10000 expected on Bedloe's Island
each paying fifty cents for admission
would have been there. The guests were
met on their arrival at Bedloe's Island By 100
men from the Fifth Artillery OF the United
States Army and corps of policemen. The
Governors Island Band played several Ma
tioDal airs, including the "Marseillaise
Comptroller Grant was the only member of
the New York City government present
At the appointed time the stone was laid
by the Most Worshipful Grand Master of the
Grand Lodge of the State of New York, and
Immediately twenty-one guns were fred
from old Fort Wood and the band played

Temple OF Solomon have Masons partici
pated in work more exalted than

the Marseillaise again, was introduced Albert
Lefarre, Minister in charge of the French
consulate general. He said: I'm few
weeks the statue of liberty will be trans
ported by a French ship of war, and would
arrive in this country and be erected upon
this spot. Travellers arriving from Europe
would behold it, and to all 1t would be a
type of the protecting influence of free ma
ton. Americas government never sus-
pended the reign of law. 1t never resorts to
proscriptive measures. and after the conclu-
sion of great struggle. it entrusted to lib
erty the task OF healing the wounds caused
by the war"
William Allen Butler then delivered an
Grafton, and was frequently interrupted by
applause.
The exercises closed with the benediction
by Ri. Rev. Bishop Henry c. Patton. Upon
arriving again in the city, the musicians
halted before the French Consulate aud
played the French National air, the compli-
ment being Acknowledged by Lefairre in
person, and the dipping OF the French flags.
The company then proceeded to Washing
ton, a building upon the site of Washing
toms headquarters, and partook OF thu hos

me group together few OF the most prominent
reforms made by the Democratic party since the
election OF Mr.. Hendricks, in 1872. When he be-
came Governor he found the finances of the State
in utter confusion. He brought order out of the
chaos. He found lavish expenditure in every de-
paItment. he demanded and enforced economy.
During his administration a Democratic Legisla-
tuTe created a Bureau of Public Printing, which
has saved the taxpayers 100000 since IL es-
tablished. During the administration of Governor
Williamsa Democratic Legislature passed the act
for the better government of the Benevolent In
situations. and this act has saved the taxpayers
$500 000. The saving by these two Democratic
saved $4,000 more. We can safely add tn this
500 eco more savings made at the House OF Refuge
and other State Institutions. Now Jet us add all
these savings together. and We have the magnif-
ONE MILLION DOLLARS

double the capacity of the Insane Hospital by
building female department-have enlarged
other notwithstanding built scwers-paid of
lars from the general 10 the Stste House fund, and
provided for the flood sufferers-ali without in
creasing the tax levy. The record commands the
appreciation and approval OF the tax payers Of
the State. Having accomplished such glorious
results submit TO you il t is not TO the interest
of the people OF This State that the candidates
your support, and that a Democratic Legislature
should be returned. The taxpayers have direct
money Interest III the result I-AtlhNhsdut OK
penoituIe OF the pubic money prevails in the
General Government. Under the leadership of
Mr.. Hendricks the Dem ocratic party has checked
IL in Indiana. Our political opponents. through
their Governor. have been forced to admit that
our State Government is economically admins
tered. We are proud 10 know that the eminent
ability OF Mr.. Hendricks, and his record as the
great reform Governor OF Indiana, has CON-
mended HIM to the people OF the whole country.
With him as one of our and0rd- bearers, we hope
to introduce reforms into the General Govern
ment. We hope under q Democratic admlnistra-
ton 10 make this land that shall inspire fervid
youth with hopeful dreams, enrich manhood and
give TO old age the choicest blessings of Heaven.
