The oat crop in 1680 amounted to 5,644,161 bushels, against 1,904,601 bushels in 1870. Only 19.396 bushels or barley were grown in the State in 1880; bnt the product in 1870 was still smaller— 5,610 bushels.

The rumor is gen erally believed.” The following story, says the Au gusta Nert, carries with il a calm and Christian moral of greater force and power for real good than all the teetotal prohibition laws that can be patched up by deeigning demagogues in our Stale Legisla tures for a century to com*. Yoa cannot force a man in this country to be good. It ie all well enongh to remove the temptation, and to seek, by every rational means at com mand, to refoi m the inebriate, but It cannot be done in this country by the enactment of sumptuary laws, or the enforcement of the same. It is an insult to the American’s idea of liberty, and will surely retract upon (he reformer sooner or later. “Kind words can never die,'’ and while the enforcement of obnoxioua lawa may answer Ihe purpose for awhile, its final collapse will act as an effective weapon for use in fu ture combats.

Squire Pratlct heard the rattling up against the casement, and drew his snug easy chair closer to the fire —a great, open mass of glimmering anthracite, and gazed with a sort of sleepy reflective satisfaction at the crimson moreen curtains and a gray cat last asleep on tl.e hearth, and the canary bind rolled into a drowsy halt of yellow dowo upon its perch. “This is snug,” quoth the Squire; “I’m glad 1 baa the leaky spot la the barn fixed last week.

Well, I tvoudor,” sotto voice, “if that was a knock at tho door or just a little rush of the wiud.” She went to tho door, neverthe less, and a minute or two afterwards she went to her husband’* chair. “Joe, dear, it’s Luke Ruddllove;” she said, half Apprehensively. The Squire never looked up from ins reading. “Tell him he has made a mistake. The. tavern la on the second corner beyond.” “But he wants to know if you will lend him a dollar,” said Mra. Pratlet. “Couldn’t you tell him no, with out the ceremony of coming to me? Is it likely ‘hat I should lend a dol lar, or even a cent to Ltiko Ruff di love? Why I’d a great deal rather throw it among yonder red coals. No—of course not.’’ Mrs. Pratlet hesitated. “He looks so pinched and cold and wretched, Josiah. He nay* there is uobody in the world to let him have a cent.’’ “All tiie better for him, if he did but know it,'* sharply enunciated the old Squire. “If he had cme to ihathalfa dozen year* ago p rlitps tie would not have been the miser able vagabond he now is.'’ “We used to go to school togeth er.” said Mrs. Pratlet. gently, “lie was the smartest boy in the da**.” “Tha»’s probable enough,” said the Squire, “bt.L U dou’l alter Ihe fact.

Mrs. Pratlet went bad: to the kitchen, where Luke Ruddllove was spreading his poor fingers over Ihe blaze of the lire, bis uttered gar ments streaming as if he was a pillar of vapor. • “Then I’ve got to starve like any other dog i” raid Luke Ruddllove, turning away. “But, after all, I don’t tuppoee it makes much differ ence if I shuffle out of this world to day or to-morrow l” “On, Luke! n* difference to your wife?” “She’d be hotter off without me,” be said, down-heartedly. “But she ought not to be.” “Ought and hare two different things, Mrs. Pratlet.

The Rud- dllovea had returned to Sequosset. Luke had made his fortune, so the story went, far off in Eldorado. "They do ny ” said Mr>.

Pratlet, emphatically. “It’s lo be all of stone, wi h white mantels and inlaid floors; and he has put* lot of papers and things under the corner one, like they do in public buildings.” “Well, that is natural enough.” “I know, yet it seems kind o’ queer that he should put a dollar bill in wilh the other things.

He looked her brightly in tho face, and held out Ids hand, saying but the one word : “Mary I” Tremulously she’ replied: “I’m glail to see you here Again.” When Luke had overcome his emotion, he continued: “Do you remember that stormy night when you gave me that dol lar bill and begged mo not (o go.iu the tavorn ?” “Yes.” “That night was the pivot on which my whole destiny turned.

But I’ll tell you what I will do; I’ll give money and words of trust and encouragement to some other poor wretches as you gave to me.” The next day Mrs. Pratlet receiv ed from the delivery man at her door a bundle which, when she had opened i:. revealed to kerastenished gaze (lie most beautiful piece of oil clolh her eye* had ever beheld. This naturally attracted the Squire’s attention; and when Mrs. Pratlet told him all, he only replied, with some emotion: “Yon were right and I was wrong.” "Knock Kelt Ont or II.” Wc have no desire to. add lo the levity that fe being displayed in re gard to the new version of the Bible, but the following from the Nash ville American is worthy of con sideration in this connection: “Perhaps there is another reason to be fonnd in the word hades for hell.

A writer iii the New York Sun, alluding to the fact that cholera In fantum and analogous troubles car ry off the - bulk of infants who die during the heated terms of snmi says: "It may almost always be traced to food aud drink and the manner of giving them. You would bo surprised to know the number of children who are killed inadver tently by the carelessness or i| mice of mothers or names, majority of infants who die in the summer season are those who are fed by the bottle; the milk used is often sour or partly so. Another prolific cause of their death, and ap exceedingly important one, fe the failure to provide them a sufficiency of cool water to drink.” He proceeds to show that the do- priration of water has brought about a larger number of cases of deHtli Ilian all other causes-combin- ed. They are nlwajs too much wrapped up, and in any case would perspire very freely. The water IokI by perspiration must bn su plied. As Dr. Murdoch stated his paper on “Cholera Infantum,” “thechild is thirsty, not hungry; hut. not getting the'water, which It does want, it drinks the milk, which it does not want.” The consequence is that the stomach U overloaded with food which il cauuot digest, nml which soon ferments ana be comes u source ot severe Irritatiou. Then follow voiuiliug. purging and cholera infantum. The remedy for the evil is thus given: "Have water—without ice—al ways accessible to the child, who will theu refuse sour milk and will eat only when hungry. Water is ihe great indis|iensibie article for ihe preventive treatment of children in liot weather. It is important enough to nursing children, but is life itself to those reared on the bot tle. The result of ils judicious use is that they will I lieu take milk when il is sweet and will drink it only in such quantities as they will lie able to digest. * » A child who drink* often of water is much less likely to gel ores healed than one wlio is deprived of it. A child mnst be watched,of course. Asa rule, its instinct is ils best guide. It is only in the grown-up child that the auimal instincts become vitiated and unreliable. You may state with entire confidence that the free giving of water is in a majority of eases* potent preventive against the terrible sconrge-of cholera in fantum.” These may he timely hints for honorable, many mothera, especially those who are either ignorant of some simple but great troths, or misguided by ideas that have no basis in cold fact. A Darker Who Wn a Timber el Church and Couldn’t be scared Oglethorpe <6i.) Echo. One day last week Ed. Tiller bought an untamed steer of-Coloucl S. P.

For the first half mile his steership gave hut lit tle trouble, but while going down a lane it suddenly realized the fact it “wanted to go back home,” and a bolt for the drivers. They nobly held their ground until they fonud that the beast meant busiuess, when an ignominious stampede commenced.

New Windsor, III,’ June 23,1S8I Leteit Stetfl: Vast comet In northeastern heav ens. , Kdward T. Lamin'. The new comet is located in the constellation Auriga, about S' from Uapella. The comet has a center aa bright as Jupiter, and a brush-like tail which sweeps upward to from 15“ lo 20", and is a very brilliant object in the northeastern sky near the ho rizon. The announcement is made to Dr. Swift as director, under the terms of tiie Warner comet prize given last January, to any American as tronomer who should first discover a new telescopic comet during thfe year. A reporter of the Democrat and Chronicle was detailed to in terview the greatdiscovererof com ets, who isreflectingsuch honor up on our city, to ascertain what ho might hare to say concerning these new announcements. He found the Professor In great glee over the tri umph of his fellow astronomers—a liberality which characterises him above some of the astronomers of the land. Dr. Swift is glad for the sako of science that these discover ies are made—Indeed, so catholic is Ills spirit that be has seconded with cordial zeal every effort which our generous townsman, IL H. Warner, 3 has made to foster and promote as tronomical research by the construc tion or an observatory for his use aud by establishing a comet prize rntid, free to all. Dr. Swift could uot reasonably expect to “bag all tho comets and all the prizes him self,” bnt ho rejoices at the good for tune of his confreres quite as much as he does his own successes. 1 “Well, professor, what are yon astronomers going to do with us? Don’t you think cornels are coming In pretty fast for human peace of mind?” “Yes; there’s no doubt that they are heaving hi sight fast enough, but you know I have no fears for the safety of things hero below. The earth lias frequently encountered these mysterious' - wonders, and in Ihe last century was envelopod in the tail of a great comet wlthoutany Injurious SWrtZt ■ The director of the naval observatory at Washing ton, in a recent interview with the New York Sim, said that the sun was constantly contracting, and eventually we might be frozen out. The sun’s energy is probably kept up by the constant violent impact of erratic heavenly bodies upon iu surface, and as long as this absorp tion by the sun continues we need not have any fear of the return or the glacial period. If these .strange visitors wet e to entirely deseit our system the son would eventually lose Its energy and the earth would he frozen solid lo the core. So you see comets may seem to be an evil to the earth, but they are a necessity to the sun, and what benefits the sun beneDts our globe. You can under stand, theu, why I am so little dis turbed by the appearance of the heavenly strangers. If a great com et like the one which has Just arriv ed should enter our stmonphere and setrate to the earth, we might all consumed by the great heat or suffocated by gas. The people,”:he said, “have been wonderfully stirred tip on the comet holiness, and for that matter on nil astronomical sub jects. Since the establishment of the Warner observatory, this city has become an astronomical news center, and all such distinctions are There are half a dozeu Tcry expert amateur* In town, who own fine telescopes, aud it seems as if Rochester was well favored.' “Can this be the comet which Dr. Gonld announced from Cardova sowm titan ago ?” “It is possible that it is. It was 23 days ago when he saw that comet, aud though it was low down in the south to hint, this one is low down in tho northeast, it may be the com ets are identical, at they move with tremendous velocity, some of them as rapidly as eighty degrees in a day.” “U it the comet of 1812, think you?” "Well, you see, I am uncertain.

That would make it due in 1882, bnt authorities hold that the influence oUthe planet Nep tune and otherheavenly bodies have accelerated its motion. The come- of 1812 had a tail not over six de grees in leugtb, whereas this comet has a tail double that size, If we are to believe what we bear. But the apparent ieugth cf the tail depend- 011 the point of observation when the comet is brightest and is no cri terion to judge or,” "To whom will be given the honor of this discovery, and the Warner prize for 6200?” “There seems to be a conflict of claims which cannot be settled until we hear more particularly from the two discoverers. One of the condi tions of the prize is that the comet shall be a new one and telescopic. This is a naked eye comet aud may be one of Ihe periodic comets.” “Is It unusual that a comet should so suddenly loom up in the sky?” "Oh, no, not at all.

Before ho reached the roof the pecu liar noise made by the telescope when turning in it* socket attracted his attention, and assured him that the professor was already on duty and hard at work. He was found seated with hit eye to the glass, intentiy gazing at the comet, which at that particular time presented a brilliant appearance. The reporter waa greeted cordially and allowed to look through the telescope at the erratic wanderer of the heavens. A small bank of clouds was approach ing, and in a few minutes itrtivelnp- cd the main portion of the tail *0 that the view was greatly impaired. During the time taht clasped while the clouds were passing, Professor Swift gave the reporter some inter esting information regarding (he comet. He said lit addition to the telegrams, referred to above, that lie received several yesterday after- noon, from different astronomers, asking for its position, etc., and just atteA-tlme one came from Professor Baird, of the Smithsonian Institute, announcing that the comet was dis covered at 3 o'clock Thursday morning—Paris time—by Pros- pit Henry, of -the Paris Obaerva- tory. As the difference inti; tenry, or -tue runs As the difference Paris and Rochester Is nearly six hoars, U’would seem that there can Be no doubt of the French as tronomer's right to claim the dis- . Professor Swift said the resembled Donati’s great of .1858 in many particulars, nucleus being unusually like that one, although the tail is considerably shorter. At one time the professor was in dined to think that this might be the comet of 1812, but did not feel justi fied in calling it so. Between 2 and 3 o’clock the clouds cleared away and Ihe comet was again seen in the Northeastern heavens, at about the same distance from Capella as when first discovered in Paris. After careful consideration the professor pronounced It moving in a North easterly direction, at a speed of not leu than four degrees a day. It ap pears to be in the act of throwing off envelopes as did DonatPs. 1 Th* tall is curved, but seems to ho curved opposite to what It qught to be from the comet’s apparent motion.

He also said that Of ficer Shove, of the police force, in- formed him that ne saw the comet at half past 2 o’clock Wednesday morning, ami if this lie true, then another clalmcnl to the discovery has been found.

Some good-natured and credulons farmer, lawyer or minis ter signed tiie paper first; some one who was in a hurry signed it next; and the third one cigned it because the other two signed it, aud the thing, thus set in motion, goes on very much the same way that farmers feed tramps at the back door; pleading that it is better that ten unworthy causes should be en dorsed. than that one good thing should fail of recommendation.

Mr. I’ark carefully measured the ske elon and found it to be nine feet in length, three feet across the breast and about two feet scrota where the thigh bones intersect with the bodv. Only a few of tho bones were in sueh a state of preservation its to he handled. He took ont, and has now at hisliouse bones of. the legs, arras and ribs, which are very Urge, and also found some of the teeth, which were comparatively sound. The grave was neatly walled up with rock, and it had been arched over the top. Inside was a large amount of charcoal in an excellent slate of preservation, aud which teemed to have been burnt from |K>plar. The field in which the grave was dng has been cultivated about eighty-fivej-eare. Col.
