IT Blows, IT SHOWS. "A gentleman
who dropped into the HERALD office yes
terday called our attention to the fact
that it was showing, and we take this OPP
portunity of disseminating the intorma-
ton to our readers. 1t is a mean ed
iter that will not let his subscribers
know what the weather is. About four
teen inches of snow has fallen since the
storm set in, which, for the first effort
of the season, is more than we ever have
known to fall since the winter we wrote
little poem entitled Beautiful Snow. :"

DEcIDED.-A decision was reached in
the supreme court last week in the case
of Moore VS.. Roberts, a case in which
the people of the town of Ellenboro
have long been interested to a greater
or less extent. In 1873 the town author
tiles of Ellenboro, in order TO afford an
outlet totheAlcorns. the Roberts and sew
eral other families who had no suitable
road, condemned for road purposes the
necessary number of rods on each side
of the line fence of Messrs. Eastman
and Burke, and laid out road from the
Cement schoolhouse southwark three
quarters of mile. A commission esti-
mated the damages to be awarded those
whose land had been taken, and no OBJ
lection or obstruction was offered by
either Burke or Eastman. Later, how
ever, Hugh A. Moore purchased the
Eastman property and immediately
shut up the road, claiming the town had
no right to take the land for road pur-
poses. After considerable dispute, in
which Abram Roberts, acting upon
authority, tore down the fence, the diff
ference eliminated in a suit in the cir
cult court, which was decided by Judge
Clementson in favor of the town and
Moore was perpetually enjoined from
interfering with the roadway. Moore,
however, appealed, but the supreme
court aifirms the judgment of the circuit
court and the road as laid out will be
maintained. The attorneys for the town
were Bushnell & Watkins and Orr &
Lowry.

TIE LITERARY CIRCLE.-The Ian
caster literary society met on Tuesday
evening at the residence of DR.. Hassell
This was the second meeting since the
organization, and Notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather there was a
very full attendance, showing the great
interest felt in this means of culture.
Rev. S. w. Eaton, V. w. Richardson
and Mrs. Howe were enrolled. The
subject for the evenings discussion was
"Monopolies and their Tendency to
Anarchy in America Prof Chas. l.
Harper opened the debate with very
able paper, which was a complete re-
view OF the tendency of the times, as
marked by the events of the past, and
replete with practical suggestions. He
was followed by MIR. L. NJ. Lowry in an
extempore address, showing the mani
fest injustice of the operation of the
present tax-system. Mr.. Lowry showed
that the principal taxpayers were those
whose property lay open before the as
SCISSOR, like the dry-goods and other
merchants, the manufacturer, the farm.
er and stock-raiser; and cited an in
stance in this locality where, in an es-
tate of half a million, the half that was
embodied in real estate paid its full
share of tax, while not more than S25
or $50 altogether was paid upon the
other $3.50, 600, which was in bonds and
mortgages and which really produced
the greater income. Mr.. Lowry was
followed by w. C. Strong in terse and
pointed argument showing the fallacy
of the theories of community of inter
est as enunciated by Fourier and Rob
ert Dale Owen, after which the discus
sion became general The next meet
ing of the society will be held on The
second tuesday evening of January at
the residence of Mrs j. Allen Barber.

Don't Crowd the Wheat.

Prof. Blount, of the Colorado Agri-
cultural College, states in a late pa
per that in 1875 he planted y pounds
of hand picked wheat on an exact
square acre, in rows eighteen inches
apart, and at harvest threshed out
II bushels. In 1880 he planted on
40 square rods 80 ounces Of fine select
ed wheat, and the product was IS
bushels, or nearly 724 bushels per
acre. The same year, on Is square
feet he planted rs kernels of extra fine
seed, weighing As grains, and the
product realized was exactly 10l
pounds, nearly at the rate of 100
bushels per acre.
Ifthe professor has made no mis-
takein this, it would seem that the
farmer can, if he will, introduce such
''refOrms" into his business that his
revenue may be greatly increased
with actually less outlay. Does thin
