mm ii mm ",'U f 'V I r- Communicated. lightning1 jtnd LlRlitulno KlorN. Dr.Hinrichs, Director of the Iowa "Weather Service, has brought for ward considerable evidence showing that, in thoc parts of Iowa where lightning is.raost frequent, the corn crops are best. Lightning is a1d fo destroy certain poisonous matters in the air, and is known to be con cerned in the production of nitro genous compounds, whiclt substance? are necessary to the life and growth of plauts. Thus the electricity- of the air acts an Important part in the affairs of nature; but in doing its good work it incidentally docs a good deal of harm. Iu ,lhe middle ages when people. were more super stitious than they are now, it was thought that to ring church bells would drive the lightning away, audit is snid that many a poor sex ton has lost m's life by-having the lightning run" down thp'w'el bell rope while he was ringing the bell. Since the day of Ben. Franklin, men, in order to protect ihumch us and their property, have put up lightning-rods. The rod is usually either cupper or iron. Of the two metals copper is the butler electric conductor, but it is very costly; while iron is very cheap. Then, too, decaying animal mutters, which frequently collect around the lightning-conductor, evolve ammonia, and this substance dissolve the cop per and occasionally euis the rod entirely off near tho ground. To make itlie best and cheapest lightiiing-ronVoiie should get Ironi a hardware store ordinary, round bar; of iron three-fourths of an inch iu diameter, and have a blacksmith weld the pieces together, carefully making the joints a large any othor part of the rod. The rod may be held in piace by iron staples. The glas supports which are frequently furnished, are unnecessary. The elevated point, which' usually ac companies the ordinary lightning rod, is costly and, when haul Mr tick, it ha been known to fuMj. It U better to let the blaek.-mitii give the rod a Mmplc, blunt point. A good lightning-rod is, said to protect a circie the diameter of which is lour times the length of that pirt of ihe rod winch projects above !fc build ing. Th'ti, if the rod ri-es four fee! above the roof, it is Mippoud to protect a ? Jo cixteci lent iu diam eter. The roil hould ex. cud (low u to pcrinaupiifly damp earth or v ter. If it is loo far down to porniu mcut nioislurh.the rod may bend at right angles a foot below the earth'-, surface, and cvtend out horizontally in an artificial drean. The horizon tal part of the rod should be sur rouuded bj' loose pieces of charcoal, and the drain in which it is placed Ehould receive the water from the caves during thunder-storms. It there is a stove with pipe projecting above the roof, it should have ine talic connection with damp earth, for lightning is just as willing to travel down the stove pipe a down a rod arranged for its special convenience. St. Ilcrnurd. Editok Jouuval : We arc having beautiful dry weather, loo dry for much plowing. Mr. Alex. McKeown and his sis ter Rachel Irom De Moines Co., la., are visiting -their brother !. P. Mo KeoVu untlrothcr 'friends of -this vicinity. Mr. James M. Adams has rented his place for the comiiijr year. He furnishes everything and gets the half of everything raided on the farm. , Charles Acton has sold his farm to John Albright, lately irom St Lyuis. He got I,12y ca-h down for it. Acton start-, for Kuis.is tin. Monday, morning; lie goes to Cloud county, by wagon. Mr. Albiight who bought -Acton's farm is 'putting up a fine large frame house, main building 18x32 feet, and intends putting up a wind mil! also. Mr. IJrowu is finishing a larjre new frame house, and will put up a wind mill. This part of Platte is be ginning to look like a different place. Mr. Walkinghaw of Atchison Co., Mo., came out here last week to sec his brother Adam ; there w ere two other young men with him; they think jve have a beautiful country. Mr. Stewart from Iowa who has bett visiting his hi other Joseph has left for the Niobrara country to look at it. The Presbyterians 01 this place on the 5th spent a pleasant alter noon together at tho house of R. P. McKeown. Each one took a lunch and in tha-cv.ening.-a fine supper was Ecrvcd with abundance of ice cream. After each one had filled the Inner man he hied him away home and felt happy. The cars have not reached St. Bernard yel, but we can hear the bell all the same. Everybody have their hay up. Com will soon do to crib. "William Sloau is waiting for cool weather before, he threshes. Eagle. RiiiBgr,-Batlcr CoHHty. Editoe Joce.val: In twoofyour of "hay burnt" brick, made by Hale & Osborne of David Cily. That tlrey mako good"brlck must be a fact assured, as they sold an entire kiln la foar days of last week and three f tlui; we are using 6tx thousand of them in our cellar at Rising City. Brlokiaaakefs.wUUds'jyell to visit this Arm and see for themselves, and then give tho farmers yood, cheap brick as this firm are doing; their wives will then make no seven-cent butter, for the grand reason that they will hive a good cellar, and can keep it. The firm purposes to buy a moulding nrichine for next season, and then we believe I hoy will still further reduce the price of their brick. A largo, fundi ti re store is being bnilt in our city, and the grain mar ket is bri-fc. Why Not? Sept. 13th, 1879i There is a good deU of uneasy discontent manifested by tho Demo cratic newspapers, over the presence of Gen. Woodford, in Kemper Co., Miss., during the tarcc called a "trial." of the murdeicrs of Judge Chisholm and hi son and daughter. They would like to know. ou know, what Wovdford is there lor. anyhow, since he does not appear on the record as an attorney for Ihe prosecution, and they c-ill conspic uous attention to tht: Hipcruaturai "quiet" that reigns iu and about the court. L!ut they know very well what Woodford is there for. and that is what ails them. lie is there to see. He is a witness of the events ot that trial, wluwe woul cannot be gaiu-aycd, and whose judgment of the legal forms Ihere travestied cau not he ridiculed or denied. He is there to see that Mrs. Clii-Iioini and her remaining son an; not Yazooed, with nobody around to Ukc a hand in her defence if poihle, or to ic port the; circumstances ol the mur der. While of cour-e the presence of the General a an escort of the eoiirageons widow and bereaved mother, will have no effect upon the verdict of a packed and perjured jury, it will give the Democrats who have already prepared their con gratulations upon the "honorable acquittal' of tiro Gulle3 and their blood, "by the uubiaed verdict of their peers, much disturbance ot spirit. The General wili be the reporter of that trial, whose account will oilset all their turgid editorial-, and counteract an oe.au of lving :i to the character of the witnesses and the audibility of the evidence. Tl ey are alVjid of Woodford, and tliey have abundant reason to lour him. for the proceed ng- will not be half so salisftctory lo 'he p-srt ih was fomliv imagined. In n lale leliet tn a gentleman in Iowa, which was published in the Ced-ir R ipids Times, Mr-. CM-holm. who probably knows romething about Ihe habits and customs ol Kemper County, she alludes to her expeiictiKc and pas her respects to the "trial. "Yes! t)ur flag waves triumph anth ovet every loot ot Southern soil! Our Jlag! whose flag? the Auiciican flag? Has any country ever existed before which tolerated the constant flaunt irr intended di fi ance ot any flag, coiiMuntlv, not merely iu words, but actual fuel, by theavowed enemies o' that country"? Dear sir, no heart ever ached like mine; no woe was ever as conilort lcss a mine; no loneliness was ever so cheerless as mine; no insult heap ed on murdered victims ever equal ed iu b:ise, malignant falsehood tlirt heaped on my darlings. Yet. think you I have not my moments u-i-tirifphiut joy ? Yes ; I am his wife their mother, l name is mine ; 16 no other eye lei I Ihe lot lo be loved by that ureal heart. Then, only tnink on the rest beyond. "The grand larecof the 'trial and triumphant acquittal' comes off on the 1st of September. I am lo be Ihere. My son is to be there. The insulted murderers' make many threats ;ir:iiui our aei), and I know what their threats mean. I ha e reason.

Xo wom-iti can ive. a satisfactory excuse for personal nntidincs. Household work, of whatever kind, docs not interfere with having a clean dtcss on, however common, a nice, plain collar, and a smooth head of hair. There is all the dif ference in the world iu different housewives iu t cits respect. Some always look bright and "smart," but others never look decently clean in the mornings; they seem to have no idea that anybody ever notices their personal appearance while en gaged in their household duties or that it is a matter of the least possi ble concern to auvbo.iy. They tor get that they Iwve a husbmd, who was won when they were in full drcs-, and studied to" attract him by the addition ii gave lo their per sous, without regard to the time and trouble it required whose eye is as slurp now as it ever wns, and whose sensibilities arc ju-t as acute.

If others come to the place of worship with no higher wishes, let the spirituality of pious hearers "helping together by prayer," no co-operate with the preacher that the worldly spirit shall be awed and hushed by Ihe unworldly influence (hat pervades the place. The sermon will then bi in harmony with the. worship7 ,In both God will be cxalfeFd, and He will make them .a- ?Je"sIng and a a power. - c'--: IVever Tempt Any Person. Among tho Mohegaus an Indian named Zichary, was the heir to the chieftainship. He was a brave man and an excellent hunter, but as drunken and worthless an Indian as could well ho found. By the death of intervening heirs, Zu: ary found him-elf entitled to the royal power. In this moment the better genius of the man assumed sway, and he re flected seriously: How cm U'h a drunkfii wretch as I be chief of this noble tribe? What will my people say? How shall the shades of my glorious an cestors look indignant upon such a succession? Cun 1 succocd to Ihe great Unc-rs? Aje, I will drink no more. And he solemnly resolved to drink nothing but water. One day, at the annual election, the Mohegan chief dined with the governor at Han ford. John, Ihe gov:nior's son, mischievously tho't he would try tho .sincerity of the chief's temperance. The family were seated at dinner, and there was excellent home-brewed ale upon the table. John .ad dressed the old chief. Zich, this beer is very line. V ill you not laste it? The old chief dropped his knife, and leaned forward, with a s.tern intensity of expression, and his fer vid eyes sparkling with indignation, were fixed upon the boy. John, said ho, you do not know what you are doing. You aro serv ing the devil, boy.. Do yon- know that I am an Indian? If I should tasto your beer, I should never stop till I got rum, and I should again become the contemptible wieie.h your father remembers me to have been. lnhn, never again, while you live, tempi a man to broik a good resolution. Socrate.s never uttered a betiei precept. Dcmttheues could not have given it with morrj eloquence. John wa thunderstruck. His pa rents were duuplv affected, and at ferwards frequently reminded him ol Ihe scene, and charged him never to forget it. " ii S-'rivoloH.

Conn. Its age can be traced by a lam.ly tradition 119 veai-s at le.isr, and it miy he 20 or 23 years older. It is fit the present time of fym met ric il shape, and the trunk is nearly round, without a scaro" blemish on il. There are eight large brunches; live o! these hive bjen in the hibit of bearing one year, anil the remain ing three iho next; but when the Centennial vear came the oid tree which must have attained ihe prime of ordinal; apple tree lite before the nation v;i- born, expanded its blossoms into a complete crown of glory, and bore fruit all over the tree. Mr. Ilotchkiss ha had a crop of eighty-five bushels of truit iu one year lioin the. five brances, and hi predecessors have harvested a crop or 193 bushels from the, same five branches. The dimensions of the tree arc: gii th, 14 feel C inches ; height, CO feet ; and the spread ot Ihu branches six rods. The Nebraska Farmer says : "But lew men are aware of the fact that hay is very beneficial lor hogs, but it is true nevertheless. Hogs need some rough food U3 well as horses, cittle, or the human race. To pre pare it you should have a cutting box (or hay cutterj, and the greener the hay ihe better. Cut the hay as short as oats, or shorter, and mix with bran, shorts or middlings, and feed as oilier food. Hogs soon leai it to like it, and it so iked iu swill, as other slop food, it is highly relished by them. I" winter use for the'hogs the same hay you loed to your horses and you will find that, while it Raves bran, short? or other lood, it puts on flesh as' rapidly a-i any thing that can be given them. The use of hay can be commenced as early as the gras will do to cut, and when run through the cutting-box it can be usd to advantage by i"in ply soaking n fresh water tintjil it sours. Try it."
