On last Friday night, says the Missouri VAL
ley Register, near midnight, party OF armed
men came up to where Bill Rudd was standing,
in a street of Waverly, and fired half dozen
shots into his body. killing him instantly. They
then took his body and passed out of town.
In the morning it was found hanging to tree
in the edge of the woods.


His mouth was stuffed full of tow, and the
rope by which he was suspended was passed
through his mouth and then around his neck.
The body was taken down and an inquest held.
We have not heard the officers statement. We
understand that no evidence was introduced
which tended to the identification of the perpe-
traitors.


Since this shooting we have heard several
different statements about who is to blame for
the lawless condition of Waverly, and we do not
know who to believe. One thing We are satisfied
of, strangers and radicals have not been safe
there since the war, and never will be until the
people learn 10 obey the law.


The man killed had been Confederate soldier
in the regular service rom the first to the last
of the war. His friends say that the BUSH
whackers were his enemies, and that they killed
him. His enemies say that he was robber and
an habtual disturber of the peace.

The correspondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from Halifax, N. S., July 20, says:--


In this part of the New Dominion we are on
the eve of stirring times. The agitation for
repeal OF the union of Nova Scotia With Canada
is growing warmer every day, and now that the
demands of the people of the Province for the
restoration Of their legislative independence
have been positively and finally refused by the
Imperial Government and the British Parla-
likely to be pursued by the Provincial Assembly,
on the meeting of the local Legislature next
month. 10 say that the people are dissatisfied
with the present state of things would be to use
much too mild a term as descriptive of the
popular feeling, They seem resolved to take no
denial OF their demand for severance of the
connection with Canada, and they do not hesi-
tate 10 declare that, sooner than submit to q
compulsory union they Will throw of their
allegiance 10 the British Crown, and seek annex
alton to the United States.


On Wednesday last the delegates who had
been sent to England by the Nova Scotia Legis.
latuTe to plead the cause Of repeal at the oar of
the British House OF Commons, arrived here by
the steamer from Liverpool, and on landing
met with AN enthusiastic reception. There came
in the same vessel with them, DR.. Topper, one
of the leading promoters OF confederation, who
had gone to England as the representative OF
the very small minority In the colony who
desire continuance of the Union. The Nova
scouans are well pleased with the manner in
which the delegates have discharged the duty
with which they were charged, and although
they have not brought back the answer which
the people expected from Britain, 1t is felt and
admitted by all that the fault is not theirs.


1t must not be supposed that the cry of anneXa-
tion TO the United States has been raised merely
for temporary political effect, and that 1t has no
serious purpose in 1t. On the contrary, 1t seems

WASHINGTON, July 29.--Some of the Presidents
conservative friends, like Senators Henderson
and Fowler, are fearful that he will do some
thing during the recess which will falsfy the
predictions they made during the impeachment
trial of his promised good behaviour. 1t is
understood that before leaving for their homes
they intend to advise him not to make an dd
interim appointment in the Internal Revenue
Bureau, and also to recognize, far as possible,
the State organizations at the South. These are
the rocks on which it is thought he will split.
Whether he will take the advice of men like
Fowler and Henderson remains to be seen.

In former article upon the subject Of SOW
ing winter wheat, we urged the importance of
sowing early, not later than September
Since writing that article we have had a con-
versat.on with Mr.. Sawyer, member of the
family of New Gloucester Shakers, who in
formed us that a gentleman from Illinois who
is spending few weeks in that family, says
he sows his wheat as early as the middle or
last of July, and that it ought to be sown in
August at the latest. Early sown wheat is
not so likely TO be winter-killed as that sown
later. 1t must be well rooted before the
ground freezes up; otherwise the frost will
seriously injure it. Those of our farmers who
intend to sow winter wheat-and we hope
there are good many such-will beari in mind
the Importance of sowing it early. Let them
sow some this month and some the next, and
then theywill learn something from experience
in this matter. We believe it ought not to
be sown later than the first OF September in
our State. That time will soon come, and
no time in preparing the ground for this crop
is to be lost Let the work commence at
once, and good seed be procured. We under
stand spring wheat looks we'll, and that the
weaye has troubled it but very little, il at all.
This is encouraging. We don't like to see so

it seems necessary, observing not to add
too much. 1t will require a slow heat

COTTAGE CHEEsE.-Put leopard milk
in kettle, and set it on the stove where
it will heat gradually, until the curd all
settles. Do not let it get too hot, or the
curd will he too hard. Then pour it in

let it drain until sufficiently dry: then

fine with your hands; add little cream
if you wish it in balls; or, if you like it
soft to dish out with spoon, add more
thin cream; and salt to suit the taste, or
no salt, just as you please.

large oysters, or twelve small ones, one

the remainder of the oyster very fine;

A good deal of commotion has been caused
in business circles by the bill regulating In
surance Deposits, introduced by the Hon.
Mr.. Rose, Minister of Finance. This bill re-
quires that every Insurance Company doing
business in the Dominion shall take out a
license from the Minister of Finance, at the
same time depositing with the Receiver
General sum of not less than 100000
from every Insurance Company, and $4,000
from every Guaranteed, Accident and Fire


Company, every company carrying on more
than one description of business making a
seperate deposit for each branch of its busi-
ness, except life and accident, which shall be
deemed as one branch, these deposits to be
solvency of the company, and for the protec-
ton of the public. The bill also provides
that no company shall carry on business in
Canada unless possessed of 100000 paid up,
unimpaired capital, sover and above the
amour. of deposit, nor shall any license issue
except upon sworn statement to this effect.


To the provisions Of this bill the insurance
agents and others interested in that business
strenuously object. They declare, first, that
the deposit required is much too large; and
they object, too, to that clause in the bill


which requires them to convert their present
Government five per cent. stock into Domin


ion stock, urging that they will lose thirteen
per cent. by the operation. 1t IS asserted
that under the plausible pretext of giving
greater security TO insurers, the bill is simply
introduced to provide for the sale of million
of dollars of Dominion stock; but the amount
of the deposit provided for will be no guar.
antee of the solvency of the companies. The
insurance men say that if the bill is passed in
its present shape fifteen first-class British and
fourteen American offices will be driven on,
of Canada. 1t appears that the American
Offices are willing to deposit from $780, te

THE EDIToR--A SCHooLBoY's CoMPo-

" The Editor" ran as follows, in school
not far from Cincinnati:


THE EDIToR-The editor is one of
the happiest animals in the known
world. He can go to the circus, after
noon and evening, without paying II
cent; also to inquests and hangings.
He has free tickets to picnics and straw
berry festivals, gets wedding cake sent
him, and sometimes gets licking, but
not often, for he can take things back
the next issue, which he generally does.
I never knew OILY one editor to get
lickt. His paper busted that day, and
lie couldn't take nothing back.


"While other folks have to go to bed
early, the editor can sit up late every
night, and see all that's going on. The
boys think its big thing to hang out
till 10 o'clock When I'm man / mean
to be an editor, SO can stay out nights.
Then that will be bully. The editor
don't have to Saw wood or do any chop
ping, except with his scissors. Rail
roads get up excursions for him, know
ing if they didn't he'd make 'em get up
and git. In politics he don't care much
who he goes for if they are on his side.
Ii they amt he goes for EN- anyhow,
so it amounts to nearly the same thing.
There is a great many people trying to
be editors who can't and some of them
have been in the profession for years.
They can't see it though. Ii was
asked if I had rather have education
OF be circus rider, l would say, let me
go and be an editor.

suspicion that Gen. Grant will, by prompt act

some to justify what Mir johnson has already

with had been acted upon by the other with

do right, he would have pardoned Davis and
Lee long ago.
