A very successful Western dairy man says lie has only ono ration for his cows and that is crushed oats and bran. Every farmer must know what kind of swine breed well and are wanted in the markets. That is the kind which can bo bred with profit. It is estimated that .10,000,000 of eggs aro consumed every day in this country, or about one for each inhabitant, which includes how ever those used in tho arts. A pound of Minorca eggs will re quire only six eggs, while somo other breeds eight eggs aro necess ary to a pound. This shows the un fairness of selling eggs by tho doz en instead of by tho pound. While milk is standing for cream to riso, tho purity of tho cream, and consequently tho ilno flavor and keeping of tho butter, will bo injured if tho surfaco of tho cream is exposed frooly to air much warmer than tlto cream. Taxes rest heaviest upon tho poor. A tariff upon sugar, cofleo, rice, tea, and such things as go to make up a laborers meal, make hint contribute as much to tho Government as tho millionaire who enjoys tho Governinont protection In as much greater degree as his riches aro greater than tho day la borer's. This is why wo discussed Senator Sherman's proposition to cut down tho surplus by taking the tariU'off of sugar, and at tho same tiino provont tho reduction of tho taxes the poor man has to pay on all this usoful commodity ho buys by making him contrlbutohis sharo to tho houty ho would litivo paid to tho American manufacturers of su gar, TJto reduction of taxes on bank circulation dosou't concern u poor man mucji, Tho cutting down of tho rovonuo on tobaccos Is not objectionable, Still tobacco Is not a necessity, For heaven's sttko lot us have reduction Irst at least on those things that aro uocoHsitlen, Tobacco Is ii luxury.

Then you know how sadly you have been missed. The man who thinks a paper cannot survive without his support, ought to go off and stay awhile. When he comes back ho will find that half of his friends didn't know ho was gone. Tho other half didn't caro a cent, and tho world at largo hadn't kept any account of his movements what ever. You will find things you can not indorse in every paper. Even tho Biblo is rather plain and hits somo hard licks. If you woro to get mad and burn your Bible, the hundreds of presses would .still go on printing thorn; and if you woro to stop your paper and call tho ed itor all sorts of ugly names, tho pa per would still be published. And what is more, you'll sneak around and borrow ti copy of it cvory week from your neighbor. It would be much bolter to keep your vest pulled down and your sub scription paid a year in advance. A'.fct anye. Long Island juries put in the shado thoMcQuado twelve at times. Tho following incident conies up from a south side vllhtgo-whoro tho temperance agitation has niado tho lifo of the'averago saloon keopor a burden. Tho revenue law allows a dealer to sell liquor in quantities not less than live gallon upon payment of tho State licenso fee, Tho dealer in quostion was arrested for selling liquor without tho local liconso. Tho ease pro ceeded to tho satisfaction of the prosecution. It was proven beyond question that the accused had sold liquor by tho glass. The jury re tired and aft or deliberating sovor- al hours returned ft verdict of not guilty. Bolng questioned tho fore man answored: "Wo admit It has been provon that tlio dofondnnt sold liquor by tho glass, but It does not appear in evidence that tho glasses do not hold live gallons."

Joseph Hepplewhilo was fatally Injured in Happy Hollow mines Nov. 20 by a fall of slate, from the effects of which ho litis since died. A four-year-old child of Lemuel Scigler, who now resides at Sec. 2!), was seriously burned Friday morning, Dec. 3, by its clothes catching flro from tho stove. Mrs. Sclglor was absent from the houso at the time of the accident. The child died the same evening. A stranger whose name is un known, but from letters found on his person supposed to bo Harrison Wagner, was found dead in a pool of Wilier In a cornfield near Athens Sunday afternoon, It is supposed ho was either deranged or intoxi cated 'and was drowned. Work in tho mines continues good, and it now looks as though our operators have got back most of the trade they lost during the big strike. We hope so, at least, and should differences arise in fu ture we hope somo means for set tlement will be devised that will savo us from a repetition of such a disastrous time. Tito Nelsonvillo Foundry got qttito a slinking up last Friday evening, caused by an explosion of gas in the core oxen. The force of the explosion blew oil' tho iron doors of tho oven and sont them whirling across tho building, ono portion passing out through tho roof. All the windows in tho build ing were blown out, and a lot of cores in ovon spoiled. Fortunately the explosion occured late in tho evening after the hands had quit work, consequently no ono was in jured. The damage will amount to about $300. Falrlleld County. Lancaster Uuzctte, Supt. Chas. Douglass will assume control at the Reform Farm, Janu ary 1st. It may sound incredible, but there are seventy traveling men residents or this city. Mr. ."Julius Warner, while at tempting to cross Clear Cicek in a wagon, suddenly got beyond his depth and came near being drowned, but fortunately Mr. Jesse Arter came to bis rescue and brought him safely to shore.

By somo means, which wo were unable to learn, her clothing caught firo and was nearly con sumed before the flro could bo ex tinguished. Pieces of flesh fell from her body and hor recovery is doubtful. Tho International Coal, & Iron Oil Company, of this city, struck tho oil rock near South Bloomlng villo at a depth of 410 feet, when tho well began flowing n four-inch stream of oil. Mr. Jerry Smith, of Lancaster well's drilling force, has been managing the work.

On Thurndtiy night last tho storo of Juulpnr Brothers. A Lampnmu, near Nel sonvillo, was entered, and the safe opened, the thieves taking there from about $150 in cash. A serious accident occurred last Monday in tho Carsoy coal bank in Lodi township. A man by the nnmo of Fronch, who had been working In tho bank but about an hour, was caught under somo fall ing slato and so badly crushed that his lifo is despaired of. On last Sunday between twelve and one o'clock tho dead body of an unknown man was discovered in tho cornfield of Isaac Silvus, about midway between the Asylum pump-house and Herold's mill. Tho place where .the' body was found was a low place or swale in the field filled with water. From all appearances the unfortunate man, either in a state of mental derange ment or a fit, had walked to the edge of the pool and fallen face forward into It breaking the slight scum of ice as he fell and in this condition had drowned. From let ters found on his person it would seem that his namo was lladloy Wagoner, and that his home was Ravenswood, W. Va. Tho Coro ner's verdict was "death by drown ing during a state of mental de rangement." All efforts, so far, to find the deceased's relatives have proved futile. Questions For A Questioner. That retained special pleader of tho protected monopolists, Robert B. Porter, propounded a lot of con undrums in a paper just read be fore the Institute of Social Science, tho answers to which, as made or suggested by their author, claimed all tho prosperity and pretty much all tho blessings of this country as the results of a high tariff. Tho following aro samples of Mr. Por ter's insinuating method of defend ing the policy that aims to tax a nation into prosperity: Why aro the wages of tho laborers higher here than In nuy other country? Why do a Kieater percciiltiKQ of wnilcmcn own their own hoinev.' Whv do their children eo to school well clothed and well led'.' Why Is lahor respected mid tho worriliunnnu blip ported Inovciy iPEltlmtito pinlciiMir to nutter his condition? liy do a greater percentn!?e of workmen becomo masters here than lu any oincrioiiuiry in iniworm.- As Mr. Porter is so fond of the interrogatory method, perhaps he will reply to a few queries that are not his own. Why have the wages of laborers of all classes always been higher here than in any other country, alike under low tariffs? Why are wages relatively highe here in tho non-protected indus tries, compared with the Old World? Why aro wages in free trado England higher than in pro tectionist Germany? Why is it that the workers hero who are pressed down tho nearest to th? "pauper wages of Europe" are those in the highly protected iron and coal mining industries? Why is it Hint the greatest distress and the most serious labor troubles of tho past dozen years have been among the operatives in the iron, woolen and cotton mills? AVhy is it, if a high tariff is tho panacea for all economic troubles, that ten years out of tho last thirteen have been years of businer-s depression and industrial disturbance ? Turning from facts to principles, why is it that tho defenders of these war taxes in timo of peace insist that tho amount of protection, as represented by tho average duty, needs to bo 50 per cent, higher now than it was in 1S01, when tho "in fant industries" woro twenty-five years younger? To shift the in quiry to political grounds, why did tho Republican Protectionist Tariff Commission, of which Mr. Porter was Secretary, rccommond a re duction of 20 por cent, on tho av erage duty in 1802, and now brand as "Free-tradors" all who call for a compliance with Hie rocomondu tion? And what did tho Republi cans moan by pledging themselves In 1881 to "correct tho Irregularities of tho tariff and prevent tho sur plus," and then arraying them selves solidly against ovon tho con sideration of tho subject? An honest nuwor to these ques tions would expose tho fallacy in Mr. Porter's spoiul pleading and lay bare tho Republican hypocrisy in dealing with this question. X. r. World.

A correspondent from near Glb Isonvlllo under date of Nov. 27, gives tho following adventure as occuring In that vicinity. "As one of onr neighbor girls was on hor way to 11. Drosbacks storo her attention was attracted to a small son of Mr. Isaac Poling who was playing with a largo rattle snake. The roptilo was so numed with cold that tho boy handled and carried it as lie might have done a fence stake. It was carried to tho houso and the snake's fangs, which were near half an inch long, woro extracted. It was then wrapped in cloth and placed near the lire. Under the influence of tho heat it soon became lively. Mr. Poling was the first one who attracted tho attention of the snake, at whom it leaped, striking him between tho knee and ankle, Mr. P. did some lively leaping, about that timo on his own account. His leg where struck is bruised and black and looks as if it hud been struck with a hammer. The snake in somo manner has lost all but two of bis rattles, and is five feet seven inch es in length. It was captured and is now on exhibition by Ephraim Poling who will take pride in showing it to any who may wish to see." I. Q. Murder at Newark, O. A tragedy occured on tho streets of Newark, at an early hour Nov ember, 27, which resulted in tho death of a policeman by tho namo of Jerry Roach. Roach had been called to tho house of William Gorman, who was drunk and causing trouble in the family. Lieutenant Brook accompanied him. When there they found an other man in the same condition as Gorman. Lieutenant) Brook took this man and Roach gave his attention to Gorman. After pro ceeding some distance, Gorman who was an cx-policcman, said: "I'll be danied if I go any further," and refused to budge. Being push ed he drew a revolver and fired in to Roach's breast. He started to run, when three or four shots woro exchanged between Brooke and Gorman. Gorman was secured and locked up, charged with shoot ing to kill. The revolver used was a thirty-eight caliber Simla & Wesson. Tho wounded man lay almost twenty-four hours before death came and relieved him of tho ex cruciating pain he had suffered in that time. The murder has caused the most wide spread excite ment ever known in Newark, our Irish people, to which nationality both Gorman and Roach belong, being especially agitated ovor tho terrible occurance. It is not strange therefore that threats of lynching woro freely made. Talk of this kind was so rife that Sheriff Hall, we understand, had taken extra precaution for defending the jail against any possible mob. It is re ported among those who knew Gorman and Roach best that a grudgo existed between the two, growing out of Roach having said to a young lady that Gorman was acting terribly since he had left the force. The remark reached Gorman's oars, and according to tho report, he saitl lie would bo re venged on Roach for it. At tho trial on Saturday, Gorman was bold in tho sum of $10,000 bail. This ho could not give. Tho autopsy showed that tho ball, a 3S-eulibro, entered tho breast a little to tho right and below tho nipple, and passing between tho fifth and .-ixtlt ribs, coursed down ward through the lobo of tho liver, anil struck and lodged la tho spinal regions, causing a hemorrhage which produced death. Ho was a. handsome, pleasant and agreeable man, always a good officer and had many friends in all walks of life. Ho owned two lots In tho city and was thrifty, sober and enorgetle.
