VOLCANIC DISTURBANCES.
Lawrence County, Illinois. the Seen,
of Strange UpheavaIs.

Va oSA phssO ~ PhSNN0Aos
MOONEY, IND. Sept. 1.-Persons in
from the northeastern corner of Law
renee county tell interesting stories OF
volcanic indications in the earth, similar
to what occurred some time ago at Bald
Mountain, N. C. Rumblings in the earth
are heard and sharp explosions
occur. On the farm of Chris
tian Linkerback, Sunday morning,
one of the most severe occurred $50
yards from the house. The noise was
like the explosion of steam boiler, and
the earth was torn up for yards around.
A cloud of smoke and dust assembled so
feet high. In it were pieces of trees,
roots and rock. The earth for yards
around was covered with debris and
great hole was left in the ground very
deep, which has not yet been explor-
ed. Among the debris were fragments
OF ore which are almost solid iron. The
country is very rough and broken and
we'll filled with minerals.

MAssACREs OF CHRISTIANS.
Chinese Staying People and Burning
Their Dwellings in Sechuen.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 1.-Advices from
Ching Too Foo, the chief city OF the
province Of Sechuen, state that the ma
tives of the eastern part Of the province
have risen against the Christians and are
massacreing them and destroying their
property. This active persecution Is at
tributed to the imprudence Of the English
and American missionaries. In Cochin
China alone fifty Christians have been
killed, their houses burned and their
farms destroyed.
At Sechuen a general massacre of
Christians is reported to be in progress.
The Apostolic Wears residence in
Sechuen has been burned 10 the ground.
Not piece of furniture, nor book nor
paper was saved. The foreign consuls
barely escaped with their lives. No Ell
forts had been made up to the latest re-
ports to quell the disorder, and so far as
known 1t continues.

The Somerset reporter., 1886-04-28
What Crops take from the Soil.

The farmer who has fertile sol
and desires to keep it in that con
dition should know precisely what
his crops take from the land and
how much of these elements are
drawn from it. A knowledge OF
this will enable him to avoid ex.
busting his land by growing the
most exacting crops and by adding
to it a sufficient quantity of the
elements drawn from it. Some
crops are more exhaustive of GER
tain elements than others, and as
the soil slowly regains, by the So
luton of the most valuable elements,
the larger losses, it is possible to
prevent rapid exhaustion by merely
changing the crops; or, as it is term
ed, by a regular rotation Of them.
The following table shows what
elements are taken from the soil in
an average crop, and how the de
mands of the various crops vary:
