A METHODIST church in Vienna has

THE celebration of Jackson's day re-
calls the fact that the battle of New Or
leans, in which two thousand British
we're killed and wounded. while only
seven Americans were killed and six
wounded, was fought fifteen days after
peace had been secured by the treaty of
Client. If the telegraph and the ocean
cable had been invented before that
time, the battle would not have been
fought. which would have been a boon
to the British. On the other hand.
if the terms of the treaty had not
been agreed upon until after the COM
missioners had heard of this disaster to
British arms, the United States might
have secured better terms. Some of our
demands, like greater freedom for our
fishermen, were denied.

THE Journal has been asked to ex-
plain the character and exact purpose
of the so-called Woman's Council which
is being organized in this city. AS the
Journal understands it, the council is
intended to be an association in which
all women's societies of Indianapolis are
entitled to representation. Its purpose
is best explained by quotation from a
proposed constitution prepared by a
committee appointed for the purpose,
and copy of which has come into the
Journals hands. Article of this docu-
ment reads:
The aim of this council is to bring the
various associations OF women of Indian
apolis into closer relations through an or
ganic union; but no society entering tho
council shall thereby lose its independence
in aim or method. or be committed to any
principle or method of any other society
in the council the object of wbi CHI Is to
serve as q medium of communication and q
means of prosecuting any work of common
interest.
1t is an extension of the plan on which
the National Council Of Women is
formed, and will undoubtedly result in
larger mutual sympathy and greater
unity of thought, as hoped for by the
projectors.

THIS Is the way q reporter in the New
York Tribune tells its readers that il
anowe ed the night before:

In the hours which preceded daybreak yester-
day morning, while darkness still lay heavy on
the earth, there came a change over the city.
Suddenly and almost without warning. the sky,
which had been clear and starry for the greater
part of the night, became darkened by swiftly
scurrying clouds morning approached, and at
quarter to O'Clock the first snow-storm OF the
winter had begun. From the dark folds or Tying
clouds outshaken swifter and swlfter the fiakes
fell on the earth, blown crafty about by rising
winds. Before the city awoke they made mound
OF white of every house stoop and chung In neecy
grace TO roofs and c0rnices, while sidewalks ana
streets became white and trackless. Tenderly

laid its white covering, and when the citizens OF

ton whether such criminals should not

INDTANAS FIELD PRODUCTS.

The estimates of cereals grown the
past year in each State of the Union
shows the Importance of Indiana as a
food producer. 1t appears that 8. 712. $50
acres were devoted to corn, yielding
123,622, 900 bushels, worth $46,976.4 57.
Five States only have a greater acreage
of corn, Iowa leading the list with 8. $780,
716 acres and 350,87S. 900 bushels. ILL
nois stands next, having 7,011, 1886 acres
and 234. $50. 900 bushels. Missouri. Kan
sas and Nebraska follow. The State fol-
loving Indiana in acreage is Tennessee,
with $685. acres, and a yield of 3d.
$50, 900 bushels. Of oats, Indiana had
800. O67 acres, yielding 81 ,034, 900 bushels.
Eleven States raise more oats than In
diana, Illinois leading with 3.06S, $50
acres, and Iowa following with 2,795. 003
acres. But it is in wheat. the staff of
life, that Indiana looms up, only three
States, and these immense ones, leading
in acreage, and only two in yield. Indi-
ana had 2,917. 518 acres. yielding 81, S07. 900
bushels, worth $45, 414,0S5. Kansas had
the most acres. 1858, 7c0, with 54,s66, 900
bushels, worth S40,Q52, 3S4. Minnesota
comes next, with 3,143,917 acres
and 55,333.0O0 bushels, worth S43.-
159,692. North Dakota reports 1854, 274
acres. with SO. los. 900 bushels, valued at
$50, 1884. North Dakota has nearly
10000 acres more than Indiana, but they
Weld over ZOO. 900 bushels less than did
the lesser number of Indiana's acres, thus
refuting the theory that newer lands
yield more wheat than those longer Gull
tivated. 1t also appears from the above
figures that the wheat crop of Indiana
was worth over S2,250,000 more than
that of any other State. The summary

In the Gleantimc he left his trunk al the
