- Hprros or FrMss. You may suppose that
West Springs nud Dogsnsvitie, by reason OF
long silence, are dead or asleep, but neither
is tho case; hard work aud wide-awake
vigilance have characterized the season Of
silence. E,.
And now that the work of the crop Is
finished, the sound Of the pick and shovel
ring out on many . branch, and golden
harvest, more or less abundant, Is being
daily reaped by many Of our people. No
township in this country opens q grander
or more remunerative field as reward for
industry.
The general appearance Of the cotton
crop is unusually fine, but no definite con-
clusion can be arrived at, especially at this
time, Is to what will be the final result Of
the yield. But this much is evident; the
farmers have handsomely acquitted them
selves in the cultivation of their crops. and
it is TO be hoped that kind Providence
will amply reward them for the labor Of
their hands. ...,......----s..s .s,.,e

The vegetable crop is both abundant,

Best Of oil, the cultivation Of the heart
has not been neglected; but many souls on
every hand, have been brought from dark
ness to light, and ore now joyfuliy "walk-

The health Of the township Is generally
good. The Mineral Spring is still place
Of wonderful resort by the community, es-
pecially on q beautiful Sabbath evening.
Upon the whole, we have every reason to
be thankful to an Allwise Providence, that
our lives have thus fallen together in such
pleasant places, and that We are the happy
recipients of SO many blessings, both tenn
poral and spiritusl from the Giver Of every
good and perfect gift. Then let US join in
praises. f.
To Him who rules all things,
From whom each blessing springs
Who feeds the hungry poor,
From His exhaustless store,
Who rides upon the cloud,
Who frowns upon the proud.
All glory to His name,
Who is above all fame,
Now, forever, the same;
All glorious His name. w. NJ. F.

And Still They Come.

The Clifford Seminary is daily receiving
aoditions to its list of pupils, and Mr.. Cliff
ford informs us that the large number Of an
piications received give assurance that the
Seminary will be filed to its utmost capacity
with pupils from other counties. Already it
has twenty-one boarders, and the total num-
Der Of scholars now attending reaches to forty
and still they are knocking for admittance.
The great fear now is, that the building will
be found too small to accommodate all who
apply.

R6r From nearly all parts of tho County
we learn that tide cotton crop does not give
as good promise as the fine plant would
cause US to expect or hope for.
Many farmers have told us that upon
close examination they find their early plan
ted cotton have grown more TO weed than
fruit; many fine stalks not having more
than three bolls on them, while it is very
seldom that a well fruited stalk can be found
The wet weather in June and July did the
mischief, and the cold weather in August
was anything but beneficial to the rowth
and maturing OF the bolls.
Notwithstanding this isappointment, our
Farmers are in better spirits than We hav.
= --- 49, ~. yC-'e. tneir Corn, Oat, Wheat,
Pea, and forage crops have not been as good
Tor years, and they have made their crops
with much less expense for supplies.
Another very important factor in MAKING
farming profitable and honorable has also
done much to make the future of the farmer
look brighter and more hopeful: The con-
slant intercourse Of .he Farmers in ih,
Alliance, and the teachings Of frugality, in
dustry and close economy therein inculcat
ed' have been put in practice by a large
number of them this year, and the results
are so plain that new life, higher ambition,
and more elevated opinion oftheir noble
calling have been infused into the farming
class Of our people, and they are beginning
to believe that they we're born for O higher
purpose than to be "hewers Of wood and
drawers Of water for everybody else
and are fast being convinced that there Is
both respectability and money in the far.
mer's high calling, if pursued with industry
and conducted with cook frigment, frigaiity
and oammon-sence economy; which is sure
TO- make the advoca ton of farming like every
other avocation that is conducted upon sound
business principles, not merely self. sus tain
ing but profitable and highly respectable.

rAIL oArs.

We listened with interest at, and ] hope
the Alliances were profted by, the remarks
Of our worthy brother. Hon. J. R. Jefsriess
at Union, last Wednesday on the sowing Of
fell oats. Oats sown In August and S>p-
tember are almost sure crop. hayss
farmed for Is years, and have never failed
to make fine oats on oats sowu before the
middle Of October. A few years age, oa !
about 2 acres Of old field, where hsd ont 8
crop Of Spring oats, I concluded TO have the:
stubble turned under. In September Ihired
two boys and gave them their dinner and
ffty cents each to plow the stubbls iu
thinking il would benefit the land. Early
in the spring perceived toierably good
stand Of volunteer oats, partly covered In
the weeds and grass, and concluded TO Lot
them remain; and from those TWO acres, /
thrsshed 66 bushels Of hne heavy oats,
which cost only 81 80 to plow and
cut. Then, last year, know q farmer who,
while he was having about third OF An acre
Of turnips plowed 10 in September, drilled
with his hand two rows Of oats between
each row Of turnips, and he reaped for his
few minutes work III bushels Of very fine
| oats. r
There is very little danger OF oats being
winter killed IL sowed early in the, fall, q
the roots will have time 10 be we'll attached
to tho ground, and the grass that will grow
before frost will greatly project them from
the cold.
BY all means, Brethren, SOW largely oi
fall oats, and they will have time to fully
mature, will improve aud NOT impoverish
the land, like those sowed in tho spring.
Also SOW patch of rye on good land in
this month, aud next April you will have a
forage that your work stock will like aud
viii save corn. ).

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The Evening Sun
prints Berlin special which, 1t says,
comes from source above suspicion.
The special says: Crown Prince Rudolph
was killed in duel Tuesday by Count
Franz Clam Gallas. The crown princes
witnesses we're Count Hoyos and the
Prince of Coburg, his brother-in-law.
The counts witnesses we're Prince Ferd-
inand ,Kinsky and another nobleman.
The duel was fought at 4 p m. in a little
wood near Baden. The crown prince
was wounded and transported to the
nearest castle, Meyering, and died late
in the evening, just at the hour when his
coming was anxiously awaited at a state
dinner in Hofburg. The crown prince
had been paying attention to Countess
Clam Gallas, nee Hogos, for the past six
menths. It is claimed that recently,
while on shooting excursion on the
estate Of the lady's mother-in-law, Count
Clam Gallas surprised his wife in COM
promising situation with the crown prince.
The count at once challenged the crown
prince. The latter, after consideration,
accepted and the duel occurred. The af
fair has been largely suppressed by the
Austrian court. bat leaked out through
some aristocrats who were compromised
in the affair, and had to leave the coun.
try. The emperor, who. knew Of the
whole affair, has, 1t is said, fully approved
Of his sons behavior.

Three Million Lost.

BUFFALO, n. ", Feb. "a fire broke
out this morning about 8 o'clock which,
before it could be extinguished, destroy
ed property Of the value of about $S,000,-
600 and covering seven or eight acres, on
Seneca, Exchange and adjoining streets.
A strong wind blowing at the time the
fire broke out carried the flames to the
six story brick building Of Sibley&H Holm
wood, which contained nearly fifty tons
Of starch which burned like tinder. From
there the fire communicated to Swift
Stamback's and T. @. Reynold's stores
and the Broezel hotel. The guests hasti-
ly moved their baggage. To add to the
difficulties Of the firemen, sleet began to
fall in torrents. At 4:15 the walls of the
Jewett block fell with crash that fairly
shook surrounding buildings, and a fran
tic struggle was made to get horses out
of the stable next to the Jewett block,
