Strange Religious Frenzy.

GRAND VIEw, OHIO, February 10
A great revival al Wells Bottom has
swept into the church nearly everybody
there. Last Friday night Chris. Dongei,
the leading citizen Of this vicinity and a
noted infdel, was converted. The peo.
pie in their wild joy nearly wrecked the
church. Chairs and benches were brok.
en- up, the pulpit torn down and 10 tho
excitement the preacher was Knocked
over aud badly cut, One woman went
into o trance. In which she yet remains.
A procession formed and taking Dongel
on their shoulders. marched up and down
the alsles. The meeting did mot close
until o'clock In the morning. In the
afternoon Dongel became insane and
to& all bis money to the preacher. He
locked Jacob Meiser, a neishbor, Ia the
cellar and compelled Mrs. Meiser to give
up all their money, which he also took
10 the preacher. AZ tho night meeting
Dnngel appeared fantas,ically clad,
wearing crown and carrying club.
He forced the minister from the pulpit
and announced that he was Christ, come
10 judge the world. In the struggle to
secure Dongel several people were Sdan.

Both Husbands Satisfied.

INDIANAPOLIs, February l6-Some
thrt years ago Frank Whiting was con
victrd and sent for three years To the
Northern Prison at Michigan City. AT
ter his imprisonment his wife obtained a
divorce. aud in the course of few
montho married William II. Springer of
Haughviile, suburb of indianapolis.
The fruit of her first marriage was SOD,
whom Springer adopted as his own, aud
sincs that, one child has been added To
her family. The couple settled in Haugh
vile, built a cottage. and were in fair
way Of accumulating permanent home.
Less than two weeks ago Whiting was re
leased, having finished his term. He re.
turned tn this city and hunted up his
former wife. Within few days Sprin.
ger became jealous of the ex husband.
attentions, and upon ,expos.ulating with
his wife he was told that all her old love
for Whiting had returned, ard that she
preferred him. OF course this bred
trouble, and there was danger of per.
sonal collision. On Saturday evening
Whiting caused peace surety proceedings
to be instituted against Springer, who
had threatened to kill him on sight
Yesterday Whiting, Notwithstanding the
fear of his life, as he had sworn, went to
Haughville, and meeting Springer said
to him in substance: "Both Of us cant
live on this earth. Arm yourself and we
will 60 into the yard and shoot until one
or the other falls, or we will pace dis
tance and shoot, the one coming out
alive to have the lady" This propasi
tion was not acceptable to Springer, and
alter q long discussion he agreed to alb.
dictate, aud spent the night at his fathers
house.
The two men met this morning In the
Justice's Office and the details were ar.
ranged, By which Springer pays half the
costs nf prosecution and dismissal, and
he and Whiting left arm in arm, the lat.
ter accompanying Springer to his home
to assist. him In removing his personal
effects. A divorce suit will follow, after
which Mrs. Springer will be free TO re
turn 10 her former husbpnd. The inter.
view between Whiting and Springer to.
day. was chatty and conpanionabie, and
the antnitiated could not tell from their
demeauor that any matters of grave do,
mestic import we're under discussion.

by no Means Gim.PrO0f.

While a number Of men were car0nsing
in Il saloon near Thirteenth and Vine
streets, one of them made a wager of
five dollars with William Strawberry,
negro, that he (Stamberry) could not
drink twenty five full whiskey glasses of
gin inside oi half hour Stamberry
insisted that he could, and, urged by
some of his friends, agreed to make the
rash attempt.
a lot OF loafrra Of the neighborhoDd
were attracted to the SALOON, hearing of
the wager. and before gond sized crowd
OF dcpcnved humanity the fouIi.h negro
commenced his task. AT intervals of a
few moments glass after glass of gin was

No one offered to procure medical
assistance for the man, and he lay as he

Too Much UnproductIye Land.

One grand error of the Southern farm.
er is holding on to too much unproduc
tive land. Most farmers, we dare say
might, in some way make productive
more land than they do. We say, III
some way, either by tillage, by pas,urage,
by fruit, nut or timber culture, or by
tenantry. But where man has fairly
done what he can, according 10 his means
and labor force, he has no need for more,
and should not keep it if be has it.
The secret of successful farming every
where !. to make the whole farm produc'
yield its quota to help fillthe farmers bin
aud is not likely to do even in the life
drawing upon the rest of the farm in
taxes, interest, &c, and fearfuIly curlai!s
the profits Of productive acres.
This error is far wore when much OF
the unprodactive ground Of the farm lies
within the enclosed portions. Then
there is an additional annual tax for
fencing. ground travelled over in work.
ing, &c. The rule should be TO make
every foot Of an enclosed or cultivated
field productive. There should be no
waste bTounu on account ol stunpH,
stones, trees or other impedimcnts. An
idle square yard of ground not only cuts
down the general average, but is an
expense on the rest.
The hiIlsides, fence corners, meadow
ground aud wood land of every farm can
aud should in some way be made to yield
something in the general routine. The
departments Of rural industry are multi
udinous-something for every soil,
locality, season and market. The true
policy is, To make every acre do some
thing. II there are more acres than can
be worked, some should be sold. Peters

THOSE NOMINATIONS.


There has been, during the past
week, kind of tea-kettle storm in
this vicinity, owing to the nomina'
tiOns that have been made OF per
sons to fill our Federal offices. Con.
sideriRg the number of applicants
With their respective followings OF
solicito1s friends, we are not sur.
prised at this result. Nothing short
of divine power could have pleased
all. This was not the expectation
of Judge Van Eaton, but the puri-
sty of his motives cannot be queS-
toned. The following of the nom-
.iuees was equal, and in some cases
superior to that of the -disappoint-
ed, with other advantages in their
favor. We are glad, at any rate,
to observe, that the mal-contents
are beautifully in the minority.
The majority seem to be satisfied,
and, pray, what more can a loyal
Democratic subject asks If haply
"some power the giftie gle US TO
see ourselves as ithers see," we are
inclined to the opinion that many
of the "simOn pure" would be more
cautious in making up states TO
their own minds harmonious, and
less thoughtless in their criticisms
of Judge Van Eaton's actions in
this delicate matter. Ifyour friend
failed to carry off the coveted prize,
content yourself with the refec-
tion that somebody else's friend
captured it, and that the said some
body else is liable to be as smart
and sincere as you are, and perhaps,
If your conceit will allow, a little
more so.
