The Star says that number of
Lamberton people have been heard
to speak very highly of the speech
of A. D. Stewart, delivered in that
city on July 18th.
Chas. Kuenzli, residing in Homer
township, was harvesting his barley
on Thursday of last week. Mr..
Kuenzli's barley field, however, is
an exception, it having been sowed
early and on tract that hurried
the ripening stage. There is very
little barley in the county that will
be ready for the harvester inside of
a week, and most of it in ten days.
Oats aud wheat are CORRESPONDENCE

any of either of the latter will be
cut inside of two weeks.

drawn out of the water with
rope. The free end of the spar
was then fixed to the nose of
the boat. The spar, being
thus adjusted, was a kind Of
ram, which pointed straight
ahead of the boat and lay just
under the water, with deadly
torpedo on the outer end.
Dixon then ordered all aboard
and they decended a ladder into
the boat through a manhole in
the top.
The cover was fastened from
the inside and the queer craft
moved slowly out into the har-
Dor, only partly submerged.
A shell dropped in the water
and exploded so near that the
waves from the disturbance
nearly swamped the boat, but
she righted herself and kept a
straight course for the outer
bar.
The Housatonic that night
lay silent and dark, as if rest
ing from her murderous labors
of the day.
A red light burned at her
masthead, and an officer-Cros-
by-by name paced her decks
slowly and alone. He was
watching the red and blue sig
nal rockets that rose majestic
tally high into the night from
the flagship of the squadron.
Presently he looked out over
the bay, and his attention set
tied on long, low black thing
which came drifting toward
him over the ripping waves.
1t was like a loose plank in
the water. He watched it in
tently for few seconds, then
suddenly realizing the peril of
his vessel, he ran at his utmost
speed for the pilot house, shout
ing at the top of his voice:
"A torpedo on the starboard!
A torpedo on the starboardv
He rang all hands on deck,
and as they tumbled out he
gave frantic orders to start the
engines and back away.
They cut away the cables,
the engines began to throb,
and the whole ship trembled
with the first motions of get
ting under way.
She was too late. The few
seconds Crosby had spent in
observation of 1.-The plank" cost
him dearly.
Dixon and his strange craft
had closed in on him and struck
the Housatonic in the side, a
little forward of the mainmast.
| There was an explosion that
was heard far out in the harbor,
and the force threw the ship
lover on her side. When she
settled again the sea poured
into her through an immense
hole that had been knocked in
her side.
! In four minutes there were
only a few spars protruding
from the water where the
stately ship went down and a
crowd of officers and men were
clinging in the rigging, freez-
ing in the February night.
They were rescued by other
ships of the fleet.
| With the success of Dixon's
expedition came, too, the final
he had expected. When the
Housatonic sank the pugna-
cious little boat went down
with her, locked fast in her
broken timbers.
| Years after, when they raised
the sodden hulk of the Housa-
tonic from the harbor, they
found the bones of Dixon and
his comrades in the "cigar boat"
and they threw them back into
the sea.-Atlanta Journal.

For two months he was private opera

down ia Il short time by vigorous
