A Mystery Solved.

About the middle of last week the
stock of Mr.. William Mittlestedter (con-
sisting of a yoke of oxen and two young
cattle) found their way to Williamsport.
Very little attention was paid to it, the
people thinking that William would soon
be over for them. Not having put in an
appearance, Friday Mr. Connor went out
to learn the facts in the case. He found
Mr.. Mittlestedter sick-almost unable to
sit up. On Tuesday he was feeling SO
badly that he thought the time had come
when he must bid farewell to earth. But
he managed to drag himself to the barn
and release his stock, so that they could
rustic for themselves. He was alone Oh
his claim until Mr.. Connor called there.

He Is the Strongest Man Now.

The Knoxville (Tenn.) Journal truthfully says
James G. Blaine got 10000 more votes in New
York City than were cast for Ira Davenport. He
got nearly 10000 more votes in tile city than We're
cast for Garfield. He has stronger personal
following in New York than any other living
man, and has a stronger following throughout
the country. So, if there are Republicans who
believe we might have dome better in the hast

last week, and are comfortably housed in
their new shack.
Four parties have just reached camp
from Steele, and expect to spend the win

Since the notice in the Bismarck pa
pers the sound of the ak has died away,
and nothing is heard now but the crack

Messrs. Jacob, Andrew and Joseph
Kalberer arrived few days ago. They
have built new shack, and intend to re-
main during the winter.
Mr.. David Roderick is still on the war
path but his hands have not as yet been
stained with innocent blood, except an
occasional "cotton-tail.
Masters Mark Shields and Lena Hodg-
kinson have formed a partnership for the
purpose of trapping and snaring rabbits
They think they will be ready to supply
the market in few days.
Now that the river has frozen over, the
hunters go across occasionally, with the
expectation of finding the deer asleep or
chewing cottonwood bark. But, unfor-
tunately, they always come back empty.
Mrs. Shields has come to be an old
hunter. She was standing at a crossing,
few days ago, and had her curiosity sat
istied by seeing four deer After. they
had hidden her farewell she wondered
why she did not shoot, picked up the gun
and wended her way hoineward.
Understand that certain party living
near the river is making great calculations
for rustling some more log shacks next
spring. For the former shacks stolen he
will not be called to account; but if he
disturbs those now here, us soon as they
are vacant. he will surely get into trouble.

The Beet sugar Industry ia
England.

The Times of the Oath of January
last contains an Interesting account of
the commencement Of IN industry
which apparently gives great promise
of future success.
II seems that DR.. Scheibler Of Der
lin having invented a process for the
extraction of sugar from beet root
moIasses, known as the 'atrontia'
process, it was found that the best
t%tronria could be procured in ENGLAND,
and for some time past ColOnel Sir
Francis Bolton, an Engineer Of no
little celebrity and who is also Exam
liner of Water Accounts for the city
of London, has been largely supply
ing Germany, Austria, France, Rus
STA and Holland with carbonate and
hydrate of strontia manufactured from
the natural sulphate of strontia, OBJ
tained from his mines in Ox(ordshire
and Somerset>hire.
At the suggestion of Colonel Sir
Francis Bolton, NJ. Hippolyte LepIay,
. Frenchman, patent d an improved
method of using strontia, by which
one operation accompliShes the same
result that the "Scheibler" process
effects in three, but while the
"Scheibler" process is used for the
moIasses only, the "Leplay" process
is used directly for the beet juice, and
does nway with molasses altogether,
attracting as it does up to 95 or more
per cent. of the sugar contained IN the
juice.
N. LepIay's patent includes a cheap
method of recovering the strontia
after use, which has hitherto been a
very costly item in treating molasSes.
Under the new system, the presence
of salts in the beet roots is no longer
Objectionable, and the potash itself
can be sold at a price of "a shiIlings
per cwt., forming a considerable item
of profit.
The tedious and expensive charcoal
filtration system is done away with,
and Colonel Sir Francis Bolton and
his partners, gentlemen of the highest
chemical and engineering skill, con
fdenlly expect to meet the present
abnormally low prices of sugar and
TO overcome the German bounties, by

strOntla Is then treated with carbonic
acid in water, which breaks it up.
separates and RECEIVERS the strontin
and leaves the pure sugar in solution
to be concentrated by pan
and crystallized in the usual manner.
Under the old process some 20oI
Of the. saccharine matter of the beet
juice, owing TO contamination of suits,
could not be crystaIlised and went
away in the moIasses, while under
the new strontia process, the presence
Of salts is no longer detrimental, and
thus, as has been said above, 95 and
more per cent OF the sugar IN the
juice is duly crystallized.
Turning now to tbs actual growing
of the beets, we find that some so
English farmers made experimental
trials last year. The year 1884 was in
England u very Indifferent year for root
crops, owing TO its unusual dryness,
but still the yield of beets was in
some cases rs high as 20 tons per
acre and q large proportion of the
farms averaged 12tons per acre, while
the quantity of sugar averaged about
1921 o, corresponding to II tons of
crystaIlized sugar per acre Il. 9. 2
hhds. Of 1900 lbs Danish). The Rev.
+. *. Longden at Brent Leigh, La
yenham, obtained Ia tons per acre in
drills Is inches apart, and in an ordi-
nary season would have obtained ut
least 20 to IS tons per acre. Mr..
Garrett Taylor on 10 acres near Nor
wich, grew IA tons per acre, giving
145 per cent of sugar. Mr.. G. II.
Mum on IL acres rear Bury st.
Edmunds grew Is tons per acre.
Trial crops Of beets were grown last
year in Surrey, Berkshire, Oxford
%stire, MiddIe>ex, Northamptonshire.
Lincolnshire, Staffordshire, Worces-
tershire, Warwick>hire, Suffolk, Nor
folk, CambridgeShire and Essex, also
in Wexford, Ireland.
In only 4 cases did the percentage
of sugar fall below II per cent, while
in 3 cases it rose to between Is and
165 per cent, which percentages ap.
proximate very nearly to that of the
sugar cane.
The Lavenham Factory will pay
for the beets during the present cam
paign NJ the rate of % shillings per
ton, 2 shilIings having been added in
consideration of the loss in weight
and expense to the farmers in storing
their beets since October. It is un-
derstood that the loss Of saccharine
matter from storage will be but little,
if any. In future campaigns, pay
ment will be made according to the
saccharine value Of the beets.
It is observed that the most sue
cessful cases in beet growing have
been where the farmers have carried
out the Instructions of the Company
as to manures, spacing of the plants,
&c. Professor Church MA. F.C.S.,
late of the Royal Agricultural College,
CTenceSter, has reported fully on the
trial crops of beets. He tells tho
farmers that the sugar beet contains
only 81 per cent. of water, that
mangolds contain 90o and swedes
