The Boston Advertiser reports an IN
creased demand at the office of the
Massachusetts State Board of Agricul-
ture for its descriptive catalogue OF
abandoned farms This fact taken
alone would furnish no indication that
purohsses were contemplated, but, as
the Advertiser points out, there was
also during the hard times OF 1878 a
noticeable increase in the demand Tor
farm lands, and reasoning from this
analogy it says: IF by any unfortu-
nate possibility the stringency OF the
past few weeks were to be continued II
is very likely that the abandoned
farms would be bought up very large
ly. A not uncomfortable class OF mill
onsratiyes have saved up money, and
- there were any very real prospect
that the shutdown Of some OF the
Massachusetts, mills was to be long
continued, these operatives would go
TO farming as better thing than re-
naming idle in large city A mum,

MURDER OF MISS AYERS.
Arrest of the Supposed Murderers at
Auburn.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 3I.-The officers are
still cropping in the darkness for the murder
erS OF Miss Z. 0. Ayers, the operator and
station-agent Of Brighton, whose charred
remains were found in the burned depot
Thursday morning. The men are hunting
in the hills of Sacramento, FL Dorado and
Placer counties. Railroad Detective Fred
Cook aud Officer Ahern Of this city have
beeh busy in the search since early Thurs
day morning, but without success.
Word was received this morning from
Auburn that Sheriff Conroy had arrested
two young men at that place last night on
suspicion. While they were at the depot
he saw one of them passing a watch to the
other and took them into custody. While
on the way to jail one Of them jumped from
the buggy and escaped. The names of the
men.are Ed Brady and Harry Wagner, who
reside in this city. The latter escaped.
When taken to jail Brady had in his posses
sion q lady's gold watch and locket and
a silver watch and gold buckle. He
claims the gold watch was given him by his
uncle in Fl Dorado County, but there is rea-
son to believe it is the missing gold watch
Of Miss Ayers. Brady belongs to a notori-
Gus gang OF young fellows who frequently
figure before the Police Court Of this city.
Sheriff COnroy will keep him in Jail at
Auburn until the development of further
facts.
