Trices on oar Urge stock of goods btvo been marked down from 10 to 25 per cent below wt At a low estimate tbe sugar consumed within our horders costs our people 615,- 000,000 each year. Can we raise this costly producf, at a profit, within our own borders ? Recent experiments conducted at Fort Scott, in the Sfalo of Kansas, would seem to Indicate that it cau ba done by the cultivation and treatment ot what I known as tbe sorglv.un plant. This is cereal plant, the seed of which In Its chemi cal constituents, very closely resemble our Indian corn. After tbe seed Is harvested, the cane is treated for sugar and the rest dura can be utilized in tbo manufacture of paper, and Is said lo mako a fapcr pulp second only to linen rags. Our sister States of Kansas and Nc-w Jersey baye stimulated Ihe cultivation of eatghum also. In tho rural districts, of Berks and neighboring counties, last Friday, the strange sigbt of farmers plowing and pre paring tbe ground for their spring soTtiug was witnessed. This Is unprecedented In the history of that county. Tbo oldest In habitants remember nothing likv It. On Tuesday noon a firs consumed a liable belonging to Ellas Lentz, at Allcn town, as well as three cows. It Is believed two boys set fire to it, as thny were seen there shortly before vf'th a lantern. The loss is about $000. Some fool or icoundral shot a bullet through the window of the school at Con- ahohockeu a few days ago, which passed oyer the sholder of the teacher and lodged In tho blackboard. Dr. J. II, Nre, tb oldest dentist or Hazlelou, Pa., killed lib wife, and then committed suicide by placing the mnzzlc of a revolver ot tils temple and sending bnllet through his brain on the morning of the 7th lust. The death of both was In stantaneous. Tbe deed was evidently pre meditated by the doctor and his wife. The lat cr was an Invalid for a number of years nnd suffered conslderaby from an In curable disease, Tho doctor had a large practice, and all the money he made was spent In attempts lo ohtaln relief for bis wife. Tbe affection of tbe couple was strong and nothing was sprred by the bus band to add to their comfort of the wife, Nn children blessed their union.
