Report ON Agriculture.

Commissioner Colman, Of the depart
ment of agriculture, has submitted his
annual report TO the president. He says
the restrictions upon foreign commerce
from the existence of contagious disease
among cattle has been great burden,
and the reduction i'm value of cattle In
the affected States is enormous. I'm
portant Investigations in food adultera-
ton are being made, and It's proposed
to extend them. The work in respect
TO silk culture has been much extended.
The commissioner says efforts should
be made at once to arouse and enlighten
the people as to the dangers which
threaten us through the destruction Of
forests. "ArbOr days" should be insti-
tuted in all States, and the science OF
forestry should be taught in the schools,
aud organization of local and State for
estry societies encouraged. The report
of the consumption of forests shows that
it requires nearly seventeen million
acres of woodland, or 4 per cent. OF the
woodland area OF The country, exclusive
of Alaska, TO supply ties for the rail-
roads. He says it has become Il qucs-
ton whether railroad companie. might
not see it TO their interest 70 plant trees
along their roadways or on land adapted
to the purpose.
There has been an unparalleled in
crease during the past few years Of the
manufacture and sale Of various COM
pounds of animal fats, vegetable oils
and other substances which are fraudn-
lently represented to the public rs but
ter, threatening the destruction OF the
legitimate dairy business. 1t is not
competition which is deprecated, but
the stimulation OF true dairy products,
the adoption of misleading names, the
use of impure Substances, and the dis
honest sale ut high prices of products of
little value, which demoralizes trade,
defraud honest industry and deceive the
buyer. The commissioner earnestly
recommends the prompt passage by
Congress Of stringent law TO prevent
the continuance of the business except
under regulations, and its enforcement
placed under the control OF the internal
revenue department.

The death of Vice-President Thomas
A. Hendricks, which occurred suddenly
at his home in indianapolis Wednesday
afternoon of last week, is national ca
lamity. ANY man who has attained the
the high honors that Mr.. Hendricks has
without in the least degree sullying his
private or public character, is worthy
OF the regret of nation and his death
will be regarded as national loss. But
the most deplorable result is that, by
our defective laws, only one life stands
between the present Democratic admin
stration and the return of the Repub-
liean party to power, thus producing a
state of political confusion bordering
on anarchy. The Senate will probably
elect Republican presiding officer,
and should President Cleveland die the
presiding officer would become Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Hendricks was of a somewhat
different school of politics from Mr..
Cleveland. He was believer to some
extent in the doctrine that "to the vic-
tors belong the spoils," and in this belief
he had many an enthusiastic supporter.
As Vice President he had very little
patronage, but he never failed to use
his influence to benefit Democrats. He
was alike honest as politician, business
man and rs a friend. and his mourners
will not be all Democrats.

Girl Arrested for Arson

Miss Anna Nj. Archer, a well-known
w. Va, aged 20 years, has been arrest
ed on the charge of setting fire to No. 2
school house at Kanawha station, a few
days ago. She was arraigned before
Justice Butcher last Friday evening,
and released on $500 bail for her appear
ance ut court. The causes which led to
the alleged crime appear to be as fol-
lows:
About eighteen months ago Miss
Archer was wooed by one James Rich
ardson, Il young man living near her
fathers residence, aud the two we're en-
gagged to be married. a short time be-
fore the day set for the wedding Miss
Lottie j. Mann, of Kanawha Station,
appeared upon the scene, and succeeded
in winning Richardson from his first
love. After turning his back upon Miss
Archer, Richardson began to receive
anonymous letters of character unfit
for publication. Tie charged Miss Arch
er and Mrs. Isabella Jackson with in
dieting them, and caused their arrest.
The testimony eXhoncrated them, and
they were discharged. The letters which
contained gross attacks upon the char
acler of Miss Mann, who taught the ka-
nawha station school, continued to
reach Richardson. Richal dson and Miss
Mann allege that Miss Al cher is not on
ly the author OF the letters, but that she
also fired The school building out of re-
venge, and they caused her to be again
arrested. Miss Archer prosounces the
charge false and absurd, and is willing
To stand II trial.

"Years have not seen and time shall

1t is claimed tina. natural gas was
struck at Weston w. Va, last week by
some workmen engaged in sinking an
artesian well on the premises of DR..
Kunst. The flow was encountered
about fifty feet below the surface. A
large number of persons visited the
place during the evening, and expert
ments were made by applying lighted
paper to the mouth of the opening. A
continual blaze about six feet above the
ground was the result. There is con-
siderable excitement over the supposed
discovery of natural gas.

Up in Washington Territory is the
small town of Tampico. On Thursday
last ten or twelve women took Harry
Roberts, the postmaster, out, tied him
to fence, and gave him Il logging.
Mrs. Roberts had repeatedly complained
to neighbors that her husband was in
the habit Of beating her, and showed
her lady friends wells and bruises to
verify her story. Roberts was warned
to stop his brutal conduct. Not needing
the warning, the women were aroused
to such q pitch of Indignation that they
gave him taste of the lash, with all
the improvements. After the flogging
Roberts was released, and the disgraced
fellow at once mounted horse and left
for parts unknown, much to the relief
of the unfortunate wife and neighbo
hood. Mrs. Roberts is now acting post
mistress, and expects President Celve-
land to continue her in that position.
