 The good agricultural town of Har- winton is entirely out of debt; the last outstanding order was paid few weeks ago. There are but few towns iu the state that can boast the same creditable state of their treasury .. Baled hay has been sold at Litchfeld lately at S25 per ton, and it is estimated that about 1000 tons have been brought into town this spring. The amount consumed is partly due to the overstocking of dairy farms by keep CTS of fancy cattle Charles Fenn of Washington raised some 1900 pounds of honey from eight or nine hives of bees last year, for which he finds ready sale at 25 cents pound-better than many a farmer did with his tobacco patch. But then, the little busy bee improved every shining hour" last year, not hay ing any wet weather to interfere with his musical labors. .. . The English spar row has fresh indictment against him, that of wantonly nipping of the blos- sons from orange trees in Louisiana and Florida, where the growers are com- plaining that short crop will result from this destruction .. .. Boston scoun- drels advertise work to do at home, ex- act two or three dollars for material, promise to pay good prices for the jobs when finished, and then refuse to take finished work on the ground that it does not suit. The material only costs few cents. The persons swindled are always poor. CORnecticm Farmer.

A Remedy for RuarrOws.

A gentleman in Germantown told one of our reporters on Monday evening that his father succeeded in driving the spar rows away from his premises by very simple method. A dark mass of green ivy covered one side of the house entire ly and here the sparrows gathered in large numbers. The family were per petually annoyed by their chatter. One day he purchased half pound of red pepper, and going up to the third story he opened the windows and sifted the pepper down through the ivy. The alarm of the sparrows was evinced by the haste with which they left their hid ing places. Every bird took it's depart ure, and having once taken up their abode elsewhere his premises were com paratively clear of them. .-West Chester Local Neacs.

and well assorted stock. amounting to
S25OOO,OD. The ladies are especially
delighted and for the few moments l was
there the c,ssimers and dress goods were
getting an ovcrllauling such as only they
are capable OF doing. In flannels and
underwear they are l,caped to the CELL
ing, while the gents. furnishing depart
ment is in full blast. Some handsome
coonskin coats, splendidly lined and
quilted Throughout for thirty dollars.
Stacked upon the counters ami shelving
l observed u beautiful selection of
mattalasia, milton, beaver and Jersey
cloths, so that the ladies Of Emerson and
vicinity are supplied in their lines to
their entire satisfaction. Besides the
above, Mr.. Killer carries very large
stock of groceries, Of which fresh lot of
one carload has just arrived from Toronto.
Good bargains in teas and sugars guaran-
teed. Parties wishing dry goods or
groceries will do well TO give MIR. Killer

you have nearly four hundred nice tweed
and surge suits to choose from.

Lynchinr 1t OLA.

Olson, the murderer of Miss McEwan
was captured by an armed body of men
not far from where the crime was com.
mitted. He was taken to Olga and tried
before a justice of the peace.
The friends of Miss McEwan identified
some small articles of apparel which he
carried in bundle of clothing. He was
also identified by Miss Rogers, the young
lady whom he tried to assault after the
murder. This seemed conclusive evil
dence of his guilt though he strenuously
denied any knowledge of the facts. Two
men were sworn in as constables to take
him to Pembina Jail, which they en-
deavored to do, but were prevented by
the crowd who swore the man should
never leave the town alive. After divert
ing the attention ofthe officers in charge
of the prisoner by a sham fight, rope
was thrown around Olsoll's neck and he
was strung up to a tree.
Though there was little doubt of the
mans guilt, we much regret the illegal
way in which punishment was mcted
out. Lynching is bad business.
