I'ulatocM a l)ru In Market, An agricultural exchange quotes pota toes ns retailing at 25 cents per bushel nnd goes on to say that last year an unusually larg crop of potatoes was planted every. whero throughout, the country mainly be-' cause of the comparative failure of the crop for several previous years and in tho hopo that the good market created thereby would continue. The scuson proved to be an exceedingly favorable one, Potatoes grew strong and rapidly, thero was a marked freedom from tho ravages of tho potato bug, and hundreds of bushels wcro obtained whero tens hud been raised be fore. Tho result is that thoy are now re tailing slowly from 25 to 80 cents per bush, el according to quality, and only execp. tloiial ones selling at tho price lastj namvd. Mauy of the farmers hold from pno to three hundred bushels and somo bavo com. menced to feed tho potatoes to their hogs, believing that much more profitable than selling for cash, It is altogether llkclyiS ,(l)it tho present low prlces'wlll lead many to abandon tho potato as"4,farm"prdduct for this' year at least. We can hardly advise this course. It Is true the potato Is an exhaustive crop to grow, as It returns very llttlo to the soil, but tho cultivation should not be neglect ed, though H might be reduced.- Many of the farmers, discouraged by tho present low prices, will, of course, ulmost wholly abandon tho potatoes, and with tho com parative scarcity this would make next season's crop likely to bring much bet ter prices thun now prevail. .Centre.

The jumping rope seasqu belpg at present at Its full height, the little ones aro found exercising themselves wherever nn oppor tunity offers. Rope jumping' is not partic ularly Injurious if indulged In, ns It should be, moderately. But tho native Instinct of young America, whether In girl or boy, Is to overdo the thing, They don't want to bo left even in tho matter of ropu jumping, and as somo one Is bound to imitate exam ples set in other athletic fluids, so each little girl. circle has Its champlpu whom all tho rest of tho girls feel bound to Imitate. In this struggle for supremacy lies the . great danger of rope jumping. A fearful warn ing of tho sad results that aro likely to fol low excessive practice with tho ropo, comes from Ashland whero three deaths from ropo jumping havo occurred within tho past two weeks, tho last victim being; Keler, uged 11, who died on Saturday front cuiigcHiiuii ui 1 nu uram caused uy over 111 diligence in tho pastime, l'.t. Col. Charles G, Iliumnonil was con- vorsinij 111 Clncaco with two friends. Ho oxprtwed thu opinion that it wits better to jlvo to charitable objects tin ring lift than iy bciiuoHts after one's duatli. Ho refen ed also tu tho demiso of a friend, which had occurred recent ly. Just as lie did so his head dropped suddenly upon his breast. This was first interpreted as .1 sign of grief. The next instant it was seen that lie had fainted. Help was called, but lie was dead in five minute. MARRIAGES. GKISINQEHHUMEL. April 24th, at ,tho home of tho bride, by Itov. Ai Houtz Mr. J. A.
