The Dawson Journal gives the fol-
lowiog details of forming,
in TerreU ctfifotjr: ■
Mr. J. B. F. Harrell, of this county,
has raised this year on a six male
farm 1,500 bushels of oats, 90 bushels
. of wheat, 1,800 bushels of corn, 1,400
bushels of potatoes, 1,300 gallons - of
syrup and 60 bales of c*»tton. Mr.
Harrell has gathered 100 bushels ol
ground-peas for seed, sold $50 worth
of watermelons, and will fatten 6,000
pounds of pork. Hr. Harre.l has had
one plow on bis pjace, run by Alec.
Simpson, that made 14 J bales of cot
ton, 260 bushels of corn, 300 bushels
of potatoes, besides gathering 50
bushels of ground-peas and fattening
1,000 pounds of pork. This we call a
self-sustaining form, and this is the
reputation that Mr. Harrell sustains
in our county. We doubt if uny man
in the several counties around makes
more money farmiug than Mr. Har
rell, and if nnv man will t(ike the
pains to examine closely the list
above mid note the diversity of his
products, it will be seen at once that
the secret of his success consists in
raising everything be consumes at
home. There may bo a few men in
Terrell who can boast of raising more
cotton to the mule than Mr. Harrell,
but we exceedingly doubt if there is
one who makes more mouey.
Neatly Done.
“I have been told,” sad Mr. Dubom,
watching the great steam hammer in
the rolling mill, "that a good banimer-
nmu can break the crystal of a watch
with a thirty ton hammer.”
“Yes, sir,” said the hammerman,
“It can bo done.”
“J should like to see it,” said Mr.
' Dubois, eagerly feeling in his watch
pocket.
“I can do it, sir,” replied the man.
“And will you?” replied Mr. Du
bois, drawing out bis watch. “Come,
I nm anxious to see it tried.”
He laid hiB watch on the great an
vil plate. The hammer rose to its
full height, and the next instant all
its ponderous weight, with acrashiug
force that shook the ground for an
aero around, came down on tho watch.
“There, sir,” said the hammermnn,
quietly, “If you don’t b.liovo that the
crystal is broken, just stoop down and
you can see it sticking to tho ham
mer.”
Mr. Dubois swallowed a wholo pro
cession of lumps and gasps before tie
could epcnk. “But I forgot to say,”
ho exclaimed, “that it was to break
tho crystal without injuring tho
watch."
“O, yes,” said tho hammerman;
“yes, I know; I bnvo heard that rub
bish myself, but it’s nil gammon. I
don’t believe it can bo done. But you
can bronk tho crystal overy’time.”

Farmers aro perplexed how to plant
next yonr, They sop jio money in
cotton ai the low prico and guano so
high, and tho prico of lubor increas
ing. If they plant corn largely the
prico will only bo somo fifty cents per
bushel. Tbo high prico of meat, the
low prico of cotton and the scarcity
of labor renders tho outlook for next
year gloomy. But our men high in
office bonst of tho trcmeudobs pros
perity of the people. Perhaps our sal
vation is in truck farming. This-is a
good point for watermelons, Irish po
tatoes and tomatoes.
.. Killed by Giant Powder,
f Pobtland, Obeoon, Deo. 8.—An ex
plosion occurred yesterday in the tun
nel of tbe Oregon and California Rail
road extension, twenty - miles fror
Biddle, which killed four Chinamen,
dangerously injured four others, and
blew a number out of tbe tunnel. Af
ter a blast bad been fired, tbe China
men began drilling again, and struck
a charge of giant powder which bad
not exploded. Tbe hpad of one Chi-
nninnn was blown off, and tbe legs of
another were torn from bis body.
Postmaster-General Howe, in bis
annual report, recommends that a
system of postal savings banks should
be inaugurated. After careful study,
he has arrived at tbe conclusion that
tbe telegraph and , postal systems of
tbe country should be inclnded under
one management, and that the only
protection for the public against mul
tiplied extorsions is for tbe govern
mont to assume exclusive control of
the transmission of domestic
sages. He considers - tbe telegraph
“too terrible a power to be wielded
by any other than the representatives
of fhe whole people.” For the first
time in thirty-one years the post office
has not been a burden on the public
treasury. After deducting nil extra
expenses, there was a net surplus of
receipts over expenses of $330,050,
while list yenr there was a deficiency
of $2,446,338. The estimated reve
dug for the fiscal year 1883-4 is given
at $50,670,456, and the estimated ex
penses at $46,741,111, which will
leave a a surplus revenue of $3,929,
345.
