Stolen Clock Recovered.

Some time ago DR.. Studebaker's Office on
East High street was entered by a sneak
thief, who stole large clock from q book
case in the Office. Yesterday afternoon DR..
Studebaker received information which led
him to believe that he could soon find the
stolen clock. He accordingly notified Officer
Wilson and together the two men went to q
house in the extreme southwest part Of town
occupied by colored man named Yates.
They entered the house aud the doctor saw
his clock ticking away the same as ever on
the mantle. Mrs. Yates, who is lying i'll,
was questioned abou, it and said her son
George had brought it home and claimed he
had bought it from doctor for sixty cents.
The officer then went to DR.. Halls Office,
where Yates works, and arrested him. The
boy is only about fourteen years old He
told Officer Wilson that he hau bought the
clock from clock-me1der. The two stories
didn't "hitch" and Yates was locked up in
jail on the cearge of burglary and larceny.

1t will be recollected by our readers that
Rev. Wm E. Fay, of this city, and other
missionaries, were driven from Bihe and
Bailundu, West Central Africa, by King Xvii
Xvi, last summer, and that in consequence,
Mr.. FAY returned to this country. The Mis-
sionary Herald, for February, states that Mr..
and Mrs. Sanders, who remained on the coast,
have gone back TO Bailundu and have been
requested by the King and people TO remain
there, finding their property, left behind at
the exodus, little, if any injured. Rev. Mr..
Fay is now reading medicine and expects to
remain here for a time longer; until he is
qualified to render medical service on bis re-
turn. He is also assisting in the publication
of the first dictionary OF Englisb-Africo
words aud definitions ever printed for that
section of the "dark continent" embracing
the vocabulary OF over three thousand words
prepared by these missionaries during their
former stay in Kwi-Kwi's dominions, so that
they will be better equipped for their work
than before. The dictionary is being printed
at the Congregational publishing house, Bos-
ton, and will be quite curiosity when COM
pleted.

The Chicago Farmers Reriep has
made a complete survey Of all the
Western and Southern wheat-growing
States. "The gloomiest views advanced
concerning the winter wheat outlook
for 1885," it says, "must now be accept
ed as the most accurate. The absolute
uniformity of the returns indicate that
the outlook this year is the worst in ten
years, and il may be set down as posi-
tive that under the most favoring con-
ditions the total winter and spring
wheat yield is to fall considerably un-
der the short crop of 1881, when the to-
tai product was $50, OOO, 900 bushels. !"
The Reriep estimates the winter wheat
yield at about 200 200, 900 bushels and
the absolute percentages from the most
trustworthy sources indicate that the
Weld will fall somewhat under than
over these figures. The probable spring
wheat yield, based upon continuing IA
vorable weather, will be 100, 600, 900
bushels. The total wheat crop Of the
country, therefore, from the present
outlook, will be from 0,000, 900 to
$50, 00O, 900 bushels, against an average
yield for the past five years of 4e4, 0O0,-
600 bushels.
Beerbohm's circular, published in
London, states that the present wheat
acreage of Great Britain is 10 per cent
and perhaps Is per cent. below last
wears, and that this short acreage, COM
bined with the backwardness of the
crop itself, will cause deficiency in
this years product as compared with
last years of 800, 900 quarters. The
circular also states that it Is estimated
that the whea. crop Of Germany, Hol-
lane and Belgium will be short this
year 500, 900 quarters; that of Austria,
Hungary, South Russia and Spain
SOC, 900 quarters, and that of France
$500, 900 quarters.

Utilizing serpents.

Asa means of suicide the small veno-
nous serpents of Oriental countries
have always been In vogue-the asp OF

A man who desires to commit murder
procures one of these reptiles and places
it within bamboo just long enough to
let the head protrude triae at the end,
and the tail at the other. Armed with
this deadly weapon, the murderer creeps
softly to his enemy's tent at dead OF
night, cuts a hole in the wall, and in
PRODUCES the bamboo. The tortured rep
tile, careless upon whom it wreaks its
animosity, strikes its fangs into the
sleeper, then is withdrawn, and the as
sassin steals silently away. Snakes are
often employed in tropical countries as
a sort of domestic animal. The ship
chambers of Rio de JanierO, for exam
pie, have each boa housed among their
bulky goods TO act as rat-catcher
these often become partially tanned, and
are recruited by menageries, in which
service .hey perform another utility by

The locusts are in many respects the
most interesting branch of the insect
family. Scientists call them cicaces.
Why they only come at such long In
tervals Is a mystery.
In appearance they present nothing
unusual. They are about the size OF an
ordinary beetle, and are the color OF
soiled morocco. Their eyes are dark
and shiny, and bulge as though with
excitement or fear. They have every
reason to be proud of their ancestry, rs
It stretches away back in an unbroken
line, hundreds of thousands of years, to
the tertiary formation Of the pliocene
period. Their habits Of life are pecu-
liar. The eggs from which they are de-
yeloped are of almost imperceptible
size, and the female, after depositing
them in minute pockets in the bark OF
trees, quietly sinks down exhausted and
dies. These cavities al made by a tiny
spear-like proboscis, which the mother
jobs against and into the bark, like
battering ram. The cavities are dis
posed herring bone fashion, and only
one egg is laid in each. The sap soon
covers over the cavities and protects the
locust-that-is-.o-b be from the inclemen-
cies Of the climate. In from ten days to
two weeks the eggs hatch out the To-
Gusts in insect form. Here is Crisis
in their lilliputian career. When tie
eggs were placed in the bark OF young
or fast-growing trees, the sap so thor
oughly covers the hole that they are not
able TO dig out, and countless thousands
die thus, as il were, in their collins. In
deed, only comparatively small per-
centage of the eggs hatch out at all.
The young locust, when it breaks open
its tOEib, is about the size Of grain OF
wheat, and more tender than the most
delicate baby. Its first procedure is
one involving much patience. Ii sim
ply waits, on convenient ledge oil
bark. until its skin dries and falls of,
when, like "a diver. il pitches headlong
to the ground. Recovering from Its
shock and the momentary insensibility
caused by stopping so suddenly in Its
descent, il begins TO dig down into the
ground. For this purpose it is provi-
ded with two broad, heavy fore. legs,
fashioned almost precisely like shovels,
with which it scoops up the dirt in
way that would make an Italian rail
road laborer green with envy. When
they reach the smaller roots of the trees
they suspend operations and set up
camp. They then insert their spear
like prOboscis into the rOotlets and ex-
tract therefrom the sap. Upon this they
depend exclusively for food and drink.
Gradually as they grow older, they
leave the small roots and work lower
into the soil, striking the larger roots.
This is only an outline sketch Of their
existence during the many years that
they remain under ground, and science
has not been able to fill in the details.
