THE NEW YEAR.

With this issue the TINES enters up
on a new year and also upon its twenty
fourth volume. This is about the great
est event that has occurred in the coun-
" so far this year, that is, to our knowl-
edge. Times seem about the same as
usual in the county, but the outlook for
the future is possibly little brighter.
With all the cry Of dull times during
the past year, many an opportunity has
slipped by, by which parties could have
made money had their foresight been
as good as their hindsight. What is re-
lieving is to see that many who have
let these opportunities pass are opening
their eyes and are determined not to let
any more 60 by. The agricultural and
stock raising business in this county
is rapidly increasing, and there is now
a large number Ct beef cattle within
lyons boundaries. Blooded stock is
being introduced to a considerable ex-
tent, and stockmen are finding out that
it costs no more to raise fine cattle for
beef than it does to raise scrubs; also
that there is considerable more money
in the former, The ranchers are also
doing better work on their land, and
consequently getting better crops. With
the outlook for the several mining camps
around Mason and Smiths Vallies, the
farmers should be we'll satisfied, for re-
newed activity in these camps means
ready market for hay, grain and other
produce at fair prices. During the last
six months the little, old camp of Como
has been showing signs Of life in a
substantial manner. Two bullion ship
ments have been made from the North
Rapidan and a third one is looked for
before many days. Other mines are
being started up on small scale, and
all appearances indicate that the camp
has "come out" The TINES, while la
boring for the interests Of the county,
has managed to slide along pretty COM
fortably, and thanks its many patrons
for their support. 1t has been our wish
for some time to enlarge, but as yet
business will not permit. Nothing
would please US more than to see the
town "pick up" enough to support
daily paper, but there is not news
enough to fill one at present, nor money
enough in the till to issue it for more
than one day, so it would hardly be
a proitoble experiment. Hoping that
our brigh,es. hopes may be realized in
the near future, we bid you all chap.

A LOFTY OBSERVATORY.

The Highest Meteorological Station In the
World and Its Location.
The Tyrolese are going to do the
highest observatory ON record. The
advantages of regular accounts of what
goes on few thousand feet above us
have long been recognized by meteorol-
ogists. The difficulty is, how to get
them; and the nature of the chief obsta-
Giles may be gathered from the descrip-
ton of the kind of quarters in process
of construction for the new hermit Of
the Sonnblick. He has to dwell in a log
house on ordinary days, as in a stone
residence he would probably be frozen
to death. But although his wooden
habitation is constructed as strongly
and solidly as possible, and anchoredto
the rock by steel wire ropes, it is antici-
pated that of stormy night the whole
structure may slip its cables and cruise
off bodily into the valley. In such
emergencies the man Of science in pos
session is recommended to retire to q
massive stone tower of refuge. with
walls of enormous thickness, which, Il
is thought, will resist the very worst the
wind-furies can do against it. Here, il
he can keep himself warm. the solitary
will be safe anta there is . thunder
storm. These, however, are usual in
dirty weather Or the SOnnblick- SO three
hghtning-rods and special lightning
proof fence have been added to, the de-
fences of the observatory. The curious
thing is, that an observer is already in
training to take possession Of this hap

CORN RUST.
How the Black Spores Can he Eneetually

How the Black spores Can he Ensetu.Ily
Destroyed.
Corn rust, fungus similar to wheat
rust, which is common on the leaves Of
corn, ordinarily does not appear to
grow in large enough quantities to do
much damage. 1t is usually seen ON
the mature leaves, late in the season.
have observed it several times on the
lower leaves of partly grown corn.
whose vigOr was plainly impaired by it.
The fungus is similar to wheat rust. vet
different enough to be recognized by the
experienced microscopic as . distinct
kind. 1t has its two kind Of spores,
growing from the same fungus tissue,
s.red rust and ''black rust" Both Oc-
eur in rounded or elongated clusters of
small size, bursting through the epider-
mis- en- both sides of the leaf The ''red
rust" comes earlier and is lighter in
color. Every cluster contains hundreds
of spores, each of which is nearly glObu-
lar, yellOwish. borne on slender stalk.
from which it easily falls 1t can not
live over winter and must terminate
soon after its formation If ut all. The
''blaek rust comes later, forms dark
clusters or patches. Each spOre is double
or two-celled. and borne on, perma-
nent stalk. 1t will not serninate until
next spring. Its office is to carry the
fungus over the winter. Where the.
first leaves are found diseased early in
the season, all the leaves are likely to.
become infected later, and if this latter
occurs, the young leaves will probably
suffer the next spring.
Apply the following remedy: Assoon
stalks and leaves not needed for fodder,
and thus destroy the black spores. Do
net plant corn on the same land next
year. The corn rust will injure no
other farm crop.-Psrf: Seymour. in

Discovery of Roman Relics.

An interesting discovery of Roman
remains has been made in a deep cut
ting at the Chester gas works. At a
depth of twcnty-three feet below the
surface pig of Roman lead was dis
covered in state of excellent preserva-
ton. The inscription it bears along the
upper surface is as follows: IMP.
vEsP. AVG. VT. IMP. Ill" while on
the side is inscribed '.DE CEANGIs." "
Its weight is 1879 pounds. The lead has,
therefore, q tribute from the tribe in
North Wales known as the Ceangi.
and was cast during the fifth consulate
of the Emperor Vespasian, and the third
consulate of Titus-that is. in A. d. "a.
Many bones Of men and animals, frag-
ments of Roman titles and pottery, and
Roman coins of the time of Vespssian
and Titns, in good preservation, were
found near.-London zslecsgph.

Bees Finding Hidden Hives,

We notice a surprising phenomenon
in come ctiOn with the swarming Of
bees. At the residence of Mr.. S. l..
BOardman, on Crescent street, two
empty bee hives had been stored in :.
shed chamber, they having been form
erly occupied by bees. This week i,
skylight in the roof was opened to ad-
nit air, and one day a buzzing was
heard in the chamber. On invcstiga-
ton it was found that each hive was
occupied by a swarm of bees, which
were darling to and fro through the
skylight, apparently much delighted
with their new quarters and Industrious
ly storing sweets. MIR. Boardman pro-
poses some dark night to transfer the
new settlers to his front yard, where
they can have more airy position.
Where the strange honey gatherers came
from and how they discovered the hives
is mystery. But the most singular
part of the phenomenon was the fact
that there were two swarms of bees, as
it is not known that they travel in COM
pany in swarming.-Aug~sta (Me.)

lincoln's Oath Of Allegiance.

General Winfield Scott, when a young
man, was stationed at Fort Smelling
at that day perhaps the remotest mill
tary outpost in the country. When the
Black-Hawk war was begun some H.
linois militia companies proffered their
services. Two Lieutenants were sent by
Scott to Dixon, ILL.,, to muster the new
soldiers. One of the Lieutcnants was a
very fashionable young man. of easy
manners and affable dispositions; the
other was equally pleasant but extremely
modest. On the morning when the mus
ter was to take place, tall, gawky.
slab-sided. homely young man, dressed
in a suit of blue jeans, presented HIM
self to the Lieutenants as the Captain of
the recruits and was duly sworn in. The
homely young man was Abraham Lin
coin. The bashful Lieutenant was he
who afterward fired the first gun from
Fort Sumpter, Major Anderson. The
other Lieutenant, who administered the
oath, was in after years the President of
the Confederate States, Jefferson Davis.

Department CLERKS.

Great Differences In Personal Styles
Among Different Sets of Employees.
Speaking of the departments, it is no
ticeable that there are decided differ
ences of personal style among the diff
fcrent sets of clerks. The Treasury
clerks are the least spruce in appear
ancc and most spiritlcss in manner of
all the Government employees. This is
due in great measure to the unhealthy
condition of the Treasury building.
which ought to be attended to at once.
The most independent, nonchalant and
cosmopolitan set of clerks are those of
the Interior Department, especially
in the Patent-oiiice. They dress as
they please, and act pretty much
as they please, and look happy and
prosperous as class. There is fine
esprit de corps among them. They
have jolly times together of moons,
luncheon and walking through the cor
ridors. The girls laugh and hum tunes
as they trip along. and the men whistle
and sing extracts from the .MikadO"
or exchange stories and jokes. On the
contrary, the post-officc department
people are serious folk, and have
crushed aspect. The department build
ing is as still as a cemetery, and no lev
ity is allowed in it. A visitor walks
into the post-office as if he owned it,
but there is something about the gen.
eral poSt-office that makes him faltcr
and stammer at the entrance. The
army and navy clerks are fine look
ing. wcll-dressed crowd, rather exclu-
sive towards strangers, polite, but
withal somewhat abrupt in their
intercourse with them-in fact, there
is q SAVIOR of the martinez about these
two departments, as there is about
the corresponding services. The force
in the Department ofJustice is so small
that it can not be said to have much in
dividuality in any way. Finally the
State Department furnishes us with per-
feet specimens of the aristocratic genus
clerk. The clerks of this department
have no intercourse with the clerks of
other departments. They are far re-
moved above the vulgar herd. All of
them are ''dudes'' of the most exquisite
brand. Not one of them would think
of such thing as wearing turned
down collar. If questions are address,
ed to them by indiscreet and presumpt-
uous outsiders, they are replied to with
icy politencss, but under no circum-
stances is any information given.-

Migratory Instincts of Trout.

The following facts exemplify the
strong migratory instincts of trout: At
the fish-culture establishment at Della
ford, where the utmost care is taken to
isolate the various species of salmoni-
de, few of the fish occasionally are
found in ponds long distances from
those in which they were originally
located. Considering that each pend is
so constructed as to prevent such .
contingency, the occurrence is very re-
markable, and can only be accounted
for in two ways, viz, that the fish
either burrow through holes that prob
ably are made by rats and moles, or
they jump cat of the water and so pro-
coed to the next pond 1t is not likely
that they arc borne thence by birds, as
the appearance of the fish on the occa-
sions referred to does not Justify such an
assumption.-Ndtuye.
