VANDALIA, Mo-, Jan. 10.-A
man claiming to be Samuel Barton,
of Dayton, O., stopped at the City
Hotel, in this city, last Thursday,
stating his object vas to buy a fine
stock farm. In conversation with
the proprietor of the hotel, Mr. J.
7. Glasscock, he made it appear
that he was a cousin of the latter's
wife whom she had not seen in her
life, though she knew she had a
cousin by that name near Dayton.
He also said he had been an ex-
tensive cattle-raiser, and was worth
probably $4,000. Mr.. Glasscock
introducing him to many of the
leading farmers. Yesterday he
made a big deal, purchasing the
farm of Mr.. Kimball, which con-
sisted of 800 acres, for which he
was to pay the sum of $4,000.
Late yesterday evening he informed
Mr.. Glasseock's son, Jeddie, that
he was short OF. ready cash, had
presented a check at the band fol
$4,000, but they could not cash it
until the next day. Jedd1e, loan.
ed him a small sum. He then
donned his best clothes, and left.
telling Mr.. Glasscock he was going
out to spend the night with Mr.
Kimball. He then departed and
has not been seen or heard of since

CONGRESS al not, perhaps, do
better than to increase the number
of leap years. The excessive num-
bers of the feminine sex make ii
necessary to push the matrimonial
market at times, and a law requir-
ing all unmarried men to regard
every alternate year as a leap year
might go far toward reducing the
feminine surplus. Who knows how
many old bachelors are only wait

On good grass lands our most
successful farmers have often three
fourths of their land in permanent
pasture. By this process of farm
ing they can heavily manure what
they pillow. They get heavy crops
of hay and grain. These facts in
regard to renovating worn lands
are practically acted upon by good
farmers.

l27 Bushels of Corn to the Acre.

4 OF COrH TO the acre.
From the st. Joseph Gazette.
Last spring the State Board of
Agriculture offered a prize of $50 to
the farmer who would raise the
largest amount of corn from one
acre of ground. Mr.. Albert Harris
horn understood that the $50 had
been offered by the St. Joseph
Board of Trade, and was in the city
yesterday to see about getting the
cash. He said he had harvested
from one acre of land on his place
near the lake 127 bushels of corn.
He says he can prove by an army
of witnesses that his claims are
true. He will return to this city
tomorrow, when he expects to
meet Secretary Sehrader and prove
up his claim. AS the offer was
made by the Board of Agriculture,
instead of the Board of Trade, his
proofs will have to be sent else
where.

olfSol1CStSo - Wv
The report shows the sisters of
this society to have been engaged
in many good works; o have
these works been confined to the
narrow limits of home.
The report of cash on hand
shows that we have not been COW
etous; indeed, the good done has
been circumscribed only by two
things only viz.
The amount of cash received
and the small number of our sisters
who take an active part with US, or
who even belong to our Society,
now by increasing the latter, we
augment the former, and here is
our first suggestion. For we find,
out ola total church membership
of 1853 married sisters, that So, or
AZ IL per cent r members of our
Aid Society, and of the 6S who are
members the average attendance at
our regular meetings is not more
than 10. I do not make these
statements complainingly but
rather "to stir your pure minds up
by way of putting you in remem-
brance,"
We need a revival amongst us
and l would suggest that we ego
every where preaching the word,''
until many of the remaining 95
married sisters. are with US, not
only in heart, (for we know their
hearts are with US anyhow but also
in hand.
DEAR SISTERS,
winter is here again, and will
no doubt bring his usual train of
suffering which we are called upon
to relieve, by Him who said;
The poor we have always with
you. Are we prepared to respond
to the call 1t takes means and
management and we must be about
the latter, in order to secure the
former. We must first provide Tor
the poor of our own household
Gods children, but we must not
stop here, unless ability fail us.
The church, either through its
societies or independent of them,
should in no case fail to provide
for its worthy poor and destitute.
If there should be any unworthy
poor, let them either be made
worthy by proper discipline or
with drawn from, and let not their
acknowledged unworthiness be
urged as an excuse for the failure
of the church to care for them.
By this the church sustains the
double disgrace of unworthy men,
bership, and lack of charity to its
own.
In conclusion, we desire to call
upon III sisters who are in arrears
to see our treasurer right soon,
and would suggest that all sisters
who can, conveniently, do so, pay
one years dues in advance. Any
brother who wishes to make a New
Years offering to the Lord through
the Ladies' Aid Society is directed
to our treasurer Sister Basket. All
of which is respectfully submitted
in the love and hope of the gospel.

THE REPUBLICAN DETECTION

The u~tteranees ofSenators Allison,
Aldrich and Sabin and the known
views of other Republican Con-
gressmen show the strength of the
public demand for a relief from
unjust and unnecessary taxation,
Senator Allison, who has just
been to Iowa and is no doubt ac-
quainted with the feelings of his
constituents, says that "the party
which fails to do its share in reduc-
ingthe tariff taxes will lose in pub
lie favors." Senator Sabin, also
from the Northwest, some days ago
expressed himself in favor of re-
ducing the tariff on sugar and steel
rails and placing lumber and salt
on the free list.
Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island,
said before the Providence Board of
Trade that the annual revenue
ought to be reduced 500, 00O, 900,
and repudiated the Blaine PROPOSE
ton to "collect a revenue with q
view of dividing it among the
State or distributing it by extraor-
binary expenditures as wholly in
defensible.
These views are sustained by
some of the ablest Republican
journals in the country-notably
the Chicago Tribune, Providence
Journal and st. Paul Pioneer-Press.
The splitting by the tariff-reform
wedge will not be all on one side.
Drive it home, let the splinters fly
